　　“This is the place, Young Master Wuyou.”
　　In a room of the Jufeng Teahouse where the shop assistants rest, Fang Lian’er, who was standing at the door, pointed to the empty room and then nervously hid behind Xu Taiping with a tense expression on her face.
　　“Miss Lian’er, you saw with your own eyes that the shop assistant walked in and never came out again, right？”
　　Xu Taiping asked Fang Lian’er while sweeping a glance into the room.
　　“Yes,　young　master.”
　　Fang Lian’er nodded repeatedly while grasping Xu Taiping’s arm.
　　“Then I’ll go in and take a look first.”
　　Xu Taiping gently patted the hand of Fang Lian’er that was grasping his arm, indicating for her to let go.
　　“Young Master Wuyou, I… I’ll go in with you.”
　　Fang Lian’er said bravely.
　　“Then　hold　Ping’an.”
　　Xu Taiping took out the little monkey Ping’an from his sleeve and placed it in Fang Lian’er’s hand.
　　“Oh… oh！”
　　Fang Lian’er was stunned at first, and then her eyes lit up, and the fear in her eyes completely disappeared.
　　“Young master, the shop assistant who lives here is named Sun Wang. Because he likes to listen to my grandpa’s storytelling, he has always been very kind to us.”
　　“I just happened to meet him when I went downstairs. After hearing that Grandpa was injured, he insisted on going downstairs with me to the inn to visit Grandpa.”
　　“He also said that he would bring some golden sore medicine from his hometown for Grandpa.”
　　“So he asked me to wait at the door while he went back to the room to get something.”
　　“But I waited for a long time and he didn’t come out. So I pushed the door to check and found that there was no one in the room at all…”
　　When Xu Taiping was searching the room, Fang Lian’er, who was following behind him, told him about the situation she had encountered before.”
　　“It’s really a bit strange.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded when he heard this and at the same time transmitted a voice to Fairy Lingyue in his heart：
　　“Sister Lingyue, there is no secret door, no secret passage, and no hiding place in this room. Ping’an has also confirmed that Fang Lian’er is not lying. So it is very likely that as we guessed, the Yellow Dog Demon Seed has already started playing hide-and-seek.”
　　In the current situation, the only thing he could think of was the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.”
　　“Taiping, use that talisman eye to look at the wandering souls in this room and see how they are different from the wandering souls in our room.”
　　Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.”
　　“Let me take a look.”
　　Xu Taiping immediately injected a stream of true energy into the right palm engraved with runes and then pressed the palm on his left eye.”
　　In an instant, the picture in his left eye’s line of sight was dyed blood red.”
And within this blood-red room, groups of wandering souls transformed into fierce ghosts, Youdaoplaceholder0 a man curled up in the corner of the room.
　　This man, dressed as a shop assistant, had his head leaning against the wall, and his hands feebly pushing and shoving the evil ghosts of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Taiping, this shop assistant should not be dead yet, but is just trapped within the domain barrier of the power of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed and cannot be detected from the outside world.
After Xu Taiping informed Fairy Lingyue of the situation he saw before his eyes, Fairy Lingyue presumed very affirmatively.
　　But if this goes on, this shop assistant probably won’t be able to hold on for much longer. After death, I’m afraid he will also become a wandering soul fierce ghost under the power of the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
Looking at the shop assistant’s eyes gradually becoming dull and his appearance becoming more and more similar to the fierce ghosts beside him, Xu Taiping speculated in his heart.
　　Unless that yellow dog is killed, no one can save him out.
　　Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said.
　　Young master, what’s wrong with your eyes？
　　Fang Lian’er saw that Xu Taiping was covering his eyes with one hand and thought his eyes were uncomfortable, so she stepped forward worriedly and asked.
　　It’s nothing, an eye disease I contracted a long time ago. It will be fine after covering it with my hand for a while.
　　Xu Taiping turned around and smiled at Fang Lian’er.
And just as he turned his head and his left eye’s line of sight fell outside the door, he suddenly noticed that a mass of scarlet blood was flowing out from this room, Youdaoplaceholder0 to spread to another room in the aisle.
　　As this blood spread, the corridor on the west side of the building also began to turn blood-red, and it was like two worlds compared to the normal corridor on the other side.
　　Sister Lingyue, it seems that the Yellow Dog couldn’t play hide-and-seek with everyone in the teahouse from the very beginning. He has to slowly accumulate strength.
　　Looking at the scarlet blood that was slowly flowing into the room of the shop assistant, Xu Taiping immediately transmitted his voice to Immortal Lingyue and said the speculation in his heart.
　　What？
　　Immortal Lingyue, who didn’t know what Xu Taiping had seen, was completely confused.
　　So Xu Taiping informed Immortal Lingyue of the situation he had just seen in his left eye’s line of sight.
However, even so, the time left for you, Taiping, is not much. You have to refine the dragon tower into a natal magic weapon before this devil blood spreads all over the entire teahouse.
　　Immortal Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
Now it seems that I can only use one of the glowing magic blood candle.
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
The Blood candle is a precious treasure grown by the Earth Fruit in the Blood Rain Forest last time. There are a total of three.
　　It is said that it was made from the blood of the Desolate Ancient Demon God Liuguang. After being lit, it can make time stand still. Ten years under the candlelight is equivalent to one day outside the candlelight.
　　And one blood candle can burn for a maximum of seven days in the outside world.
　　That is to say, after lighting one Liuguang Demon Blood Candle, even if Xu Taiping cultivates for seventy years under the candlelight, only seven days will pass in the outside world.
　　So, this Liuguang Demon Blood Candle is the most precious treasure on Xu Taiping, without a doubt.
　　After all, once it burns out, there will be no more in the world.
　　……
Although the Liuguang Candle is very precious, if you can refine the Dragon-Trapping Tower in advance, it will not only help you, Taiping, get through the current predicament, but also be of great benefit to you along the way.
Because the most powerful thing about this Dragon-Trapping Tower is its defensive power. Once you refine it into your own defensive power is very likely to be improved as well.
　　Just like when you refined the Shentu Bow and obtained the power of lightning-fast speed.
　　Back in the guest room, Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping about the benefits of refining the Dragon-Trapping Tower.
　　After careful consideration, she had to admit that the Yangling Demon Emperor’s vision was more far-reaching than hers.
　　Now it seems that refining the Dragon-Trapping Tower in advance is indeed more beneficial than harmful.
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　Just as they were talking, he had already taken out a Liuguang Demon Blood Candle.
　　“The most regrettable thing this time is that because you have the soul imprints of those eight Demon Emperors on you, you can’t cultivate under this Demon Blood Candle. Otherwise, if you cultivate with great concentration for seventy years, even if you only practice martial arts, you will definitely improve greatly.”
　　Looking at the blood-red candle that Xu Taiping placed on the table, Fairy Lingyue said with a regretful expression in her eyes.
　　Because of these eight Demon Emperor soul imprints, not to mention cultivation, if it weren’t for the few mouthfuls of Hidden Immortal Brew from Dao Gui, it would probably be very difficult for Xu Taiping to survive.
　　And those few mouthfuls of Hidden Immortal Brew can at most help him hold on for three to five years. It is simply impossible to cultivate under this Demon Blood Candle for seventy years.
　　But fortunately, when refining the natal immortal weapon, only a little soul power and a lot of time are needed.
　　So this is why Emperor Yang specifically emphasized that he should use the Xuanyuan Clone to refine the Dragon-Trapping Tower.
　　“It’s okay, Sister Lingyue.”
　　Xu Taiping separated a Xuanyuan Clone, lit the Demon Blood Candle with the fingertip true fire, and then smiled and looked at Fairy Lingyue and continued：
　　“I still have two Demon Blood Candles left.”
　　“After breaking through to the Huajing realm, if I really encounter a strong enemy, I can light up these two Demon Blood Candles and go into seclusion for one hundred and forty years in one go.”
