At first, Xu Taiping didn’t pay much attention, but after seeing the position of that lotus pond clearly, his heart suddenly trembled and he said, “Isn’t this the lotus pond where I planted the Di Guo Jin Lian in the Inner Cave Heaven of the Golden Court?”
After confirming that the picture was indeed the pond where he planted the Di Guo Jin Lian, Xu Taiping was very puzzled.
He thought to himself, why did Lian Tong show me this?
However, after a short period of confusion, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said
”I still have three Jin Lian that haven’t been peeled. Could it be that Lian Tong wants to remind me that the way to solve this dilemma lies in those three Di Guo Jin Lian?”
The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility of this!
Immediately, he opened his eyes and stood up.
Coincidentally, at this time, Dongfang Yuejian, who had already held on for half a cup of tea’s time, the Shi Wu Umbrella in her hand once again showed signs of cracking and collapsing.
So after seeing Xu Taiping stand up, she immediately opened her mouth and confirmed
”Daoist Taiping, can you draw your knife now?”
Although as long as she continued to take the lotus seeds, she could continue to hold up the Shi Wu Umbrella she still couldn’t bear to waste Xu Taiping’s lotus seeds like this.
However, to her surprise, Xu Taiping flatly refused his proposal.
“Miss Dongfang, please hold on for a while longer.”
While saying this without even raising his head, Xu Taiping quickly took out a jade box from his ring.
The jade box was opened.
Inside lay three unpeeled golden lotuses.
At the same time, a fragrance ten times stronger than that of ordinary earth fruit lotus seeds spread out from the jade box.
This fragrance, which was mixed with a strong spiritual energy, immediately attracted the attention of Master Xuanzhi and Dongfang Yuejian.
After reopening the Ten Crows Umbrella, Dongfang Yuejian asked Xu Taiping in surprise:
“Daoist Taiping, why does the fragrance of this golden lotus resemble that of the lotus seeds in my hand so much? Could it be that they come from the same plant?”
Xu Taiping nodded and said:
“You’re right, Miss Dongfang. These three golden lotuses and the lotus seeds in your hand indeed come from the same plant.”
In the current situation, he had no way to avoid the two of them, so he simply didn’t hide anything.
Of course, he couldn’t mention the earth fruit behind the golden lotus.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian asked curiously:
“Daoist Taiping, is the spiritual power of the golden lotus seeds higher than that of other lotus seeds?”
Xu Taiping shook his head and said:
“There is no spiritual power in the golden lotus seeds.”
Saying that, he peeled a lotus seed in front of the two people and simultaneously explained:
“Inside the Golden Lotus Seed is a treasure given to me by one of my predecessors.”
While speaking, in the astonished gazes of Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi, a ball of golden light was spat out from the peeled golden lotus seed.
Xu Taiping calmly stretched out his hands to hold the ball of golden light.
“Pop!”
And the moment it touched Xu Taiping’s palms, the golden light shattered like a bubble, and an ancient sword with simple and profound patterns engraved on the scabbard and handle appeared in Xu Taiping’s hand.
“Boom!”
The moment the ancient sword appeared, a sword qi spread out through the scabbard, even dispersing the cold outside the house for a short time.
Seeing this simple and ancient long sword, Dongfang Yuejian, who had wide knowledge, immediately said in surprise:
“This sword exudes an ancient atmosphere. Could it be a divine weapon passed down from ancient times?”
Regarding Dongfang Yuejian’s question, Xu Taiping really had no way to answer, because this was formed by the Earth Fruit.
The only thing he knew was that the sword embryo that gave birth to this ancient sword was the relic left to his granddaughter Qu Ningshuang by Elder Qu Shuang, who had dealt with the Yuan Lord together with him.
As for what kind of sword it was, he didn’t know either.
After Xu Taiping carefully examined the ancient sword for a moment, suddenly, with a “swish”, he drew the sword out of its sheath.
”Boom!”
The moment the long sword was drawn, a majestic sword energy suddenly spread out from the sword sheath.
Xu Taiping picked up the long sword, looked at the inscription at the connection of the sword body and the handle, and muttered:
”Wan Ren?”
The moment Dongfang Yuejian heard the words “Wan Ren”, she suddenly said in disbelief:
”Daoist Taiping, what did you say? That is, that is the ancient sword Wan Ren?!”
Xu Taiping, holding the Wan Ren sword, turned his head to look at Dongfang Yuejian and asked:
”Miss Dongfang, you know this Wan Ren sword?”
Dongfang Yuejian nodded vigorously and said:
”Daoist Taiping, this blade sword is a very rare divine weapon handed down from ancient times. But unfortunately, more than 100,000 years ago, it disappeared along with a great sword immortal named Qu Yang at that time and has not been seen since.”
When hearing the name “Qu Yang”, a spiritual body inexplicably appeared in Xu Taiping’s mind.
The scene where this spiritual body illusion appeared was exactly one of the thousands of spiritual bodies that appeared when he controlled the Ten Thousand Gods Formation and killed towards the Yuan Lord in the Golden Court Inner Cave Heaven.
Suddenly, a hint of sourness welled up in Xu Taiping’s heart.
He thought to himself, Presumably this senior Quyang was also one of the thousands of cultivators who entered the inner cave of Jinting to kill the Yuanzhu back then.
As he spoke, he looked at the ancient sword Wanren in his hand again and thought to himself:
“Senior, your surname is also Qu, and the girl I want to give the sword to also has the surname Qu. It seems that there is providence in the dark.”
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Taiping suddenly mentioned the long sword in his hand and slashed at the central hall of the main room with one sword.
“Boom!”
Amid the harsh sound of the sword energy breaking through the air, the sword strike made by Xu Taiping with the Wanren Sword actually failed to leave even a single sword mark on the wall.
Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi, who were originally puzzled as to why Xu Taiping slashed at the wall with one sword both felt a thud in their hearts when they saw the intact wall.
The two of them also realized that something was wrong at this time.
However, Xu Taiping frowned shook his head and said:
“No, it’s not this Wanren Sword.”
After hearing Xu Taiping’s words, Dongfang Yuejian asked very puzzled:
“Taiping Daozhang, what is going on here?”
Just as she asked this question, an extremely strong stench of corruption spread in this main room.
At the same time, the west wall of the Western Zhou Dynasty also turned into wriggling flesh and blood.
Obviously, although the ancient sword Wanren failed to break through the Yin God’s divine will, it still made him show his form.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yuejian exclaimed:
“This… this is not a small courtyard at all… We are inside some kind of monster!”
Xu Taiping, who had already started peeling the second golden lotus seed, corrected without looking back:
“It’s not some kind of monster, it’s a Yin God.”
While peeling the golden lotus, he continued:
“If we can’t leave its body within half a stick of incense, we will merge with it.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian blurted out in horror:
“Isn’t this the legendary Yin residence?”
Xu Taiping didn’t expect Dongfang Yuejian to recognize this Yin God all of a sudden, but he didn’t have time to ask in detail at the moment.
I saw his hands raised, and once again held up a golden halo flying out of the lotus seed.
The treasure in the second golden lotus appeared.
