Inside the Dragon-Trapping Tower.
”Sister Lingyue.”
”I know nothing about the situation outside.”
”If we are discovered by the people from the Nine Mansions, the things on my body, as well as this Dragon-Slaying Tablet and the people from the Netherworld Hall, will definitely not be able to be explained clearly in a short while.”
”Moreover, Senior Sister Linglong is seriously injured, so I simply brought Senior Sister Linglong in.”
“As for that Dragon-Slaying Tablet, I asked Bai Yu and Ping An to first find a hidden place in the town to put it down and then guard it together.”
After examining Senior Sister Linglong’s injury, Xu Taiping immediately transmitted his voice to explain to Fairy Lingyue.
Fairy Lingyue quickly transmitted her voice and replied：
“What you did is fine.”
Fairy Lingyue immediately added：
“But regarding the matter of the Earth Fruit, it’s best that you don’t let Zhao Linglong know for now.”
“The Earth Fruit is an extremely special existence throughout history. There are many powerful existences looking for it in secret. If you tell Zhao Linglong now, it will instead harm them.”
Xu Taiping had actually already thought of this, so he immediately transmitted his voice to Fairy Lingyue and said, “Sister Lingyue, don’t worry. I will place Senior Sister Linglong in the pagoda and won’t let her discover the existence of the Earth Fruit.
Seeing that Xu Taiping said this, Fairy Lingyue felt relieved.
While speaking, Xu Taiping fed Zhao Linglong another Bone-Growth Pill and a Herb-Restoration Pill. With these two pills, the recovery of Zhao Linglong’s injury was only a matter of time.
And the green mold on her body also quickly subsided after the death of that assassin from the Netherworld Palace.
After doing all this, Xu Taiping suddenly thought of one thing.
So he closed the door and walked out of the pagoda while transmitting his voice to Fairy Lingyue：
“Sister Lingyue, just now, after seeing me take action, Senior Sister Linglong suddenly recalled all the things that happened in the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
“Now it seems that, perhaps as the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor said back then, the seal of the Forgetting Sorrow Wind can really only last for more than fifty years.”
After finishing saying these words, he had already arrived at the lotus pond where Fairy Lingyue was located.
At this time, the lotus pond had undergone quite a few changes compared to more than fifty years ago.
Centered around the lotus pond, within a radius of several thousand zhang, more than ten large and small barriers had been set up.
Now, looking from the outside, one could only see a ruin and simply couldn’t see the lotus pond.
In addition, beside the lotus pond, a two-story bamboo building had also been built.
All these were done by Fairy Lingyue commanding Bai Yu and An Ping during these decades.
And under the teaching of Fairy Lingyue, not only were Bai Yu and An Ping’s cultivations about to enter the realm of perfection, but the two of them had also mastered the rough art of setting up formations.
After Xu Taiping arrived beside the lotus pond, the figure of Fairy Lingyue also appeared on a lotus leaf in the lotus pond.
After seriously pondering for a moment, she suddenly said：
“Judging from the reaction of your senior sister Zhao Linglong, she should also be like what the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor said, that it was only after being stimulated by the change in the aura on your body when you made a move that she woke up that memory.”
Xu Taiping carefully recalled it for a while and then nodded and said：
“That’s true.”
Fairy Lingyue let out a sigh of relief and said at this time：
“In that case, as long as you keep a low profile recently, at least in a short period of time, Jiuyuan won’t discover that the eight Demon Emperors have been sealed in your body.”
The main reason why Xu Taiping didn’t want the deeds in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower to be discovered was that he didn’t want to be hunted down by Jiuyuan.
Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a helpless expression again and said at this time：
“However, after the True Martial Sword Champion Conference starts, everything that happened in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower back then will probably no longer be able to be hidden.”
Xu Taiping shook his head indifferently and said：
“Jiuyuan will send people to hunt and kill. It will take at least half a month and at most three months. By the time their people arrive, I’m afraid the True Martial Sword Champion Conference will have already ended.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded and smiled：
“That’s true.”
And just at this moment, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond suddenly lit up with layers of green halos one after another.
Immediately afterwards.
A strange and delicate fragrance began to spread from the nine golden lotuses in the lotus pond.
At the same time, the lotus petals on the golden lotuses that had never fallen even in wind and rain suddenly began to fall one after another.
Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue’s eyes suddenly lit up and she said：
“The Earth Fruit is finally going to ripen！”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was also overjoyed.
After wasting one of his Liuguang Candles and waiting for more than thirty years, the Earth Fruit Golden Lotus has finally ripened.
And just as the two were talking, the petals of the nine golden lotuses had all withered.
Only nine green lotus seedpods were left, hanging on the lotus stalks, swaying in the wind.
Fairy Lingyue immediately reminded Xu Taiping and said：
“Taiping, pick all these nine lotus seedpods.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and without saying a word, his figure turned into a afterimage and flew past the nine lotus seedpods.
When he returned in front of Fairy Lingyue, he was already holding nine lotus seedpods in his hands.
After seeing these nine lotus seedpods, a relieved look appeared on Fairy Lingyue’s face.
Over the past fifty-odd years, she has guarded the Earth Fruit without leaving for a moment, just for today.
After trying to calm her emotions, Fairy Lingyue began to introduce to Xu Taiping and said：
“Taiping, each of these nine lotus seedpods has eighteen lotus seeds.”
“But among these eighteen lotus seeds, only the golden one will give birth to a treasure inside.”
Xu Taiping picked up the nine lotus seedpods and took a closer look, and then found that it was indeed as Fairy Lingyue had introduced. There was a golden lotus seed in each lotus seedpod.
At this time, only heard Fairy Lingyue say again：
“The remaining ordinary lotus seeds are not useless either.”
“They are like the flesh of those celestial peaches back then. Each one taken can extend the lifespan of a cultivator by ten years.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully.
In the realm of Shangqing, the matter of spiritual fruits being able to extend lifespan is not uncommon. It is said that there were several spiritual fruits that could extend lifespan in the former Qingxuan Sect.
Many disciples of the generation of Sect Master Zhao Qian received such spiritual fruits as rewards from the sect.
Even her senior sister Zhao Linglong had eaten this kind of spiritual fruit to prolong her life back then.
Because Zhao Linglong herself had eaten this kind of spiritual fruit to prolong her life when she was seriously ill in the mundane world back then.
However, after the generation of Sect Master Zhao Qian, several spiritual fruits withered one after another, and the later disciples of the Qingxuan Sect never ate them again.
At this time, only to hear Fairy Lingyue continue to say：
“Besides being able to extend lifespan, these lotus seeds are also extremely rare in this world and can restore the spiritual essence.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but feel that the weight of the nine lotus pods in his hand became a little heavier.
Fairy Lingyue looked at the lotus seeds and said：
“Taiping, you can just take one and try eating it to see if it can repair the damage to the divine soul just now.”
Xu Taiping nodded and then took a common lotus seed and put it in his mouth.
