This evening.
Qiyue Pavilion.
“What’s wrong with you, Xu Taiping?”
“Are you okay, Xu Taiping?”
Just after returning to Qiyue Pavilion, Xu Taiping’s body began to tremble with cold, and all his qi and blood and true qi were disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
Bai Yu and Ping An, who had long noticed this, asked him anxiously.
“You guys, wait for me for a while.”
Xu Taiping’s arm trembled as he opened the green gourd and released them from the gourd.
As he spoke, he took out the gourd of wine mixed with Dragon Gallbladder Wine, raised his head and “gulped gulped” drank the remaining small half of the strong wine in one go.
Although it has been diluted many times, there is still the medicinal power of Dragon Gallbladder Wine in it. So usually Xu Taiping drinks at most half a gourd a day, otherwise he will be groggy.
However, now, after drinking a small half of the diluted Dragon Gallbladder Wine, he only barely feels his body warm up a little.
“Sizzle…”
After shivering, Xu Taiping let out a long breath.
Although the qi and blood were still draining away, he finally felt a little better.
And the situation that just happened to him was exactly the drawback of the Three Talents Ghost-Sealing Talisman that Sister Lingyue mentioned in the letter.
However, even with psychological preparation, he still underestimated the harm of this side effect to his body.
At the beginning, when he was still in Hundred Herbs Hall, he only felt that his body was a little weak. So he wanted to settle down Senior Sister Bai and Senior Brother Xi, leave a message for Senior Sister Linglong and the others, and then return to Qiyue Xuan.
So in this way, he was delayed in Hundred Herbs Hall for the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense.
But it was precisely this half a stick of incense’s worth of time that he almost lost his life due to blood and qi deficiency.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, he instinctively picked up the Gentian Wine and took a sip, and only then did he accidentally save his life.
That Three Talents Ghost-Sealing Talisman was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much Gentian Wine he drank, it would be immediately devoured by it.
If this goes on, even if all the power of the gentry stone is consumed, it won’t be able to fill this bottomless pit.
After the qi and blood recovered a little, a touch of anxiety welled up in his heart again.
Let’s see what Sister Lingyue said in the letter later.
While thinking this way, Xu Taiping put away the wine pot and then smiled at Ping’an, who had a worried look on his face, and Bai Yu, who was a little nervous, and said, “Don’t worry, I’m already much better.”
Hearing this and seeing that Xu Taiping’s complexion was indeed much better than before, the two of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
The little monkey Ping’an jumped onto Xu Taiping’s body in one go and then lay motionless in his arms.
Xu Taiping knew that it was worried about him, so he gently rubbed its little head and then looked at Bai Yu and said, “There is one thing I need to tell you.”
Then, he roughly recounted the disappearance of the Saber Ghost and Fairy Lingyue.
”The Saber Domain, what is this thing? Why have I never even heard of it?”
Bai Yu looked at Xu Taiping in astonishment.
”Actually, I still don’t quite understand what the Saber Domain is until now.”
Xu Taiping also shook his head.
Even though he had seen the Saber Domain with his own eyes, he still didn’t quite understand what kind of existence it was.
Moreover, at that time, the Saber Ghost swore to bind himself and didn’t even show him the true power of the Saber Domain.
”By the way, when I was in Hundred Herbs Hall just now, there was indeed a period of time when I couldn’t sense your existence. The same was true for Sister Lingyue a few days ago. She would disappear from time to time. Could it be that they were all pulled into the Saber Domain of the Red-Haired Saber Ghost?”
Bai Yu recalled the abnormalities of Fairy Lingyue in the past few days.
”During the time I was unconscious, it was Sister Lingyue who was fighting with the Saber Ghost. Fortunately, because of the letter and the Ghost-Sealing Talisman she left behind, I was able to seal the Saber Ghost in my body.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“I said, why that old woman was so weak that day. It turns out that during the few days you were in a coma, she was fighting with that saber ghost in the saber domain.”
Bai Yu had a sudden realization on his face.
“She didn’t even inform me. Does she look down on me like this?”
It then muttered with some resentment.
“It’s not that Sister Lingyue didn’t inform you, but that she didn’t want that saber ghost to detect your existence, so that you could deliver the letter for me.”
Xu Taiping shook his head.
Regarding this point, Fairy Lingyue also mentioned it in the letter.
Hearing this, Bai Yu felt a little better.
“Your current situation, is it related to sealing that saber ghost?”
He then asked Xu Taiping again.
“If there is no accident, it should be related to that saber ghost.”
While speaking, Xu Taiping raised his hand and then looked at the rune mark in the palm of his hand and said:
“I feel that this rune seal is constantly devouring my qi and blood and true qi. It may be the price of sealing that saber ghost.”
“You should quickly read the second letter the old woman left for you. There may be a solution in it.”
Bai Yu’s mind turned quickly and immediately reminded Xu Taiping.
“I came back just to read this letter. You two guard this place for me. I’ll go to Fan Tower first.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Even if Bai Yu didn’t say it, he had already planned to read the letter.
……
Inside Fan Tower.
Xu Taiping opened the second letter from Fairy Lingyue——
Taiping, you can still open this letter, which means that you have already sealed the knife ghost. Fortunately, fortunately.
It’s not in vain that I spent so much effort to draw that Three Talents Ghost-Sealing Talisman.
Presumably in your heart, there must be a lot of doubts now.
Don’t worry, let’s start from when I sensed the existence of the knife ghost.
Actually, after you went to visit the injured Senior Brother Xi that day, I had already noticed that the knife ghost might have targeted you, because I could sense its aura near Qiyue Pavilion from time to time.
However, I didn’t pay too much attention at the beginning, because for existences like the knife ghost, I have encountered many in other cultivation worlds. This kind of evil soul born from obsession will naturally be subject to many restrictions, such as it can only appear at night and can only attack those who use knives and so on.
At the same time, this kind of evil soul transformed by strong obsession often inherits its part of their original owners. So for cultivators who want to improve their own cultivation, this is an excellent whetstone.
So I originally planned to arrest it and let you try your knife when your cultivation level improved again. This will definitely be beneficial to you.
This is also the reason why I haven’t told you for a long time.
