Mortal Bones

"Sister Lingyue, what is worth gambling with your life on?"

In the Zen room arranged by Abbot Huiming for Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping looked at Fairy Lingyue sitting across the table with serious eyes.

Fairy Lingyue sorted it out in her mind, and then spoke seriously:

"I told you before that with your current cultivation speed, it is only a matter of time before you can break through to the God Refining Realm, and the required elixirs are not nowhere to be found."

"The problem is the next transformation."

"If you want to break through this level, even for the golden spirit bone or even the heavenly spirit bone, it is a natural chasm."

"And for mortal bones, it's almost a dead end."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping had vaguely guessed what Sister Lingyue was betting on for him, but he did not interrupt Sister Lingyue's words and continued to listen quietly.

"It's not completely impossible to achieve the Mortal Bone Destruction Realm, as long as we can prepare three things."

"First, practice at least one skill above the Earth level to the extreme level. If possible, the more skills you can practice to the extreme level, the better."

"Second, refine at least one natal immortal weapon."

"The third and most important thing is the phoenix marrow."

When speaking of this, Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"You have already accomplished this, Taiping, by cultivating your skills to the extreme realm of refining the gods."

"As for refining a natal immortal weapon, it is not difficult to do it as long as you can break through the realm of refining gods."

"The biggest difficulty now is only one thing, which is how to obtain the phoenix marrow."

After hearing this, Xu Taiping finally couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Lingyue, is it possible that the phoenix marrow in your mouth is really the marrow of the ancient divine bird Phoenix?!"

The divine bird Phoenix, like the real dragon, had disappeared in ancient times. Even because its bloodline was too single, it disappeared even more completely than the real dragon.

Therefore, the phoenix blood and phoenix feathers mentioned in many ancient books are basically synonyms for a certain type of powerful spiritual bird, not the real phoenix.

"Of course the real phoenix can no longer be seen, but in the extreme south of the wild secret realm, there is a secret realm called Hell, where a gem called phoenix marrow stone can be found."

"It is said that this stone was transformed into the bone marrow of the real phoenix when it died. Obtaining this stone is equivalent to obtaining the phoenix marrow."

Fairy Lingyue explained.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was pleasantly surprised and felt that the matter must not be so simple. He immediately asked Fairy Lingyue:

"Sister Lingyue, I'm afraid it's not that easy to enter this hell, right?"

Fairy Lingyue looked extremely focused and nodded:

"The Hell of Fire, also known as the Hell of Nanmingli Fire, is burning with the purest Nanmingli Fire within an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles. Even if a cultivator in the Transformation Realm enters, he will be burned to ashes in less than a moment. Only the cultivation base Once you reach the peak of the Transformation Realm, you can barely enter it with the help of special fire control techniques."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping looked horrified.

"If you are in a peerless sect or aristocratic family in the Shangqing Realm, or have achieved immortal feats like Zhang Tianze of Zhenhai Tower, there are ways to get the Phoenix Marrow Stone, but we don't have these, so we can only follow Sister, let’s gamble our lives together.”

Fairy Lingyue continued.

"Sister Lingyue, please continue."

Xu Taiping wanted to hear how Fairy Lingyue wanted to gamble.

"We have no way to enter the Hell of Fire, so we can only ask someone to help us go in and get it. But even if you can get a commission for a sacred object like the Phoenix Marrow Stone, there may not be anyone in Youyuntian's sect or family who would dare to accept it. ”

"Only those forces, which are beyond the realms of heaven and earth, can possibly accept this commission."

"For example, the Sangen Temple where the Haitang couple used to be, the Youming Hall in Youyuntian, the Bulao Pavilion in Juemingtian, the Faceless Tower in Xuanhuangtian, and the Linyuan Pavilion in Chenglongtian."

Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping in one breath.

"These forces are actually more powerful than the peerless sects in all worlds?"

Xu Taiping looked horrified.

"It's not necessarily more powerful than them, but the monks who join these forces are all lunatics who will pay any price to improve their cultivation."

Fairy Lingyue shook her head.

"But, isn't it more difficult for these forces to find the Phoenix Essence Stone for us than to find those peerless sects?"

Xu Taiping frowned.

"That's right, whether it's Netherworld Hall or Bulao Pavilion, they will only make deals with internal members and disciples. Even most of the monks in the Shangqing Realm don't even know about their existence."

Fairy Lingyue nodded and explained, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "But don't worry about Taiping, because your sister and I were once a member of one of the forces."

"Which force?"

Xu Taiping said with a look of surprise.

"Chenglongtian, the second seat of Linyuan Pavilion, Yuezhu."

Fairy Lingyue smiled slightly at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was speechless.

He never hesitated to imagine how powerful Fairy Lingyue was, but he didn't expect that she would be so strong.

"Don't look at your sister and me like that, I'm so embarrassed."

Seeing Xu Taiping staring at her, Fairy Lingyue immediately waved her hand in embarrassment.

When Xu Taiping heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"So Sister Lingyue, you want the other seats in Linyuan Pavilion to get the Phoenix Marrow Stone for us, right?"

he asked tentatively.

"That's right."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

"But Sister Lingyue, not to mention so many years have passed, does Linyuan Pavilion still recognize you as the second seat? Even if it does, the other seats will not serve us in vain, right?"

Xu Taiping expressed his worries.

"As for whether Linyuan Pavilion still recognizes me as the second seat, you don't have to worry. As long as my spirit is immortal, Linyuan Pavilion will always have my seat."

"As for your second concern, that's what I'm going to focus on next."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately pricked up his ears and looked at Fairy Lingyue again without blinking.

"In the sixth seat of Linyuan Pavilion, there is a famous Wuji Immortal. He once broke into the Hell of Fire alone and stayed there for half a month. If it is him, he will definitely be able to get the Phoenix Marrow Stone."

"But it's extremely difficult to ask him to take action. Unless you can bring out a gentian-level divine object, he will never be tempted."

"But this time, after we plant the ground fruit in the Youyuntian Blood Rainforest, we are very likely to get a treasure comparable to the gentian stone."

"If there is this treasure, the Wuji Immortal will definitely be moved by it."

Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping.

"I see, Sister Lingyue, you have planned it from the beginning, and want to use this treasure to exchange for the Phoenix Marrow Stone from the Infinite Immortal."

Xu Taiping looked stunned.

"That's right."

Fairy Lingyue smiled and nodded, and then added:

"I want you to strive to win the leader of the Golden Scale Society. I also want you to increase the possibility of growing that treasure with your luck."

"Sister Lingyue, don't worry, I will definitely do my best this time."

Xu Taiping said seriously.

But immediately, he remembered something again, so he asked Fairy Lingyue in surprise:

"But Sister Lingyue, since you have such a thorough plan, if we can just act according to your plan, why do we have to risk your life and mine?"

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly became serious. Then she casually laid out a barrier, then pointed at Xu Taiping's very painful arm and said:

"Pull the sleeves off that arm of yours."

Xu Taiping nodded and Yi Yan pulled open the sleeves on his hands.

Then he discovered with a look of astonishment that there was a mark shaped like a leaf on the back of his hand.

"Sister Lingyue, what's going on with this brand?"

Xu Taiping asked nervously.

Fairy Lingyue sighed, and then said in a very solemn tone:

"This is a brand unique to Yiye Book. When he appears, it means that your name appears on Yiye Book."

"It also indicates that our existence has been discovered by the owner of Yiye Book."
