　　As soon as these words came out, Xu Taiping clearly felt that the hint of greedy energy that had just appeared on her disappeared immediately.
　　”Is it very precious？”
　　Lin Buyu then asked Xu Taiping again.
　　“Not only precious, but there are no real dragons in the world anymore. Naturally, every sip of this Dragon Gallbladder Wine means one less. There was once a cultivator who was willing to exchange a celestial weapon for a cup of Dragon Gallbladder Wine but couldn’t get it.”
　　Before Xu Taiping could speak, he only heard that Duan Tianya laughed and said.
　　“I’m afraid it’s not that he didn’t want to exchange, but that he didn’t dare to exchange, right？”
　　Xu Taiping handed the pot of diluted Dragon Gallbladder Wine to Duan Tianya’s hand.
　　Regarding this Duan Tianya, he couldn’t say that he completely trusted him, but at least he didn’t feel much malice on him. Moreover, he was a dying person, so he didn’t mind giving him another pot of wine.
　　When Duan Tianya took the wine pot handed to him by Xu Taiping, there was obviously an extra look of appreciation in his pupils.
　　And Lin Buyu continued to lower his head and read the script in his hand.
“Actually, the Dragon Gallbladder Wine can’t make the zombie awaken the memories of its previous life. The reason it is effective for me is just because a wisp of my soul was sealed in the Broken Water.”
　　Duan Tianya patted the simple and unsophisticated long knife at his waist.
　　“When I was drinking before, I accidentally spilled a few drops on the knife, which only then made my remaining soul wake up.”
　　“But also because it’s just a remnant soul, I know that I can’t hold on for long. That’s why I didn’t rush to make a move on that demonic cultivator, but secretly waited for the opportunity to make a move.”
　　He then continued to explain to Xu Taiping.
　　After hearing this, some of the doubts in Xu Taiping’s heart were solved accordingly.
　　For example, why did Duan Tianya sit on the ground in a daze at that time, and why did he ask me to hide.
　　“So, the reason you asked me to hide, Elder Duan, was actually to leave a backup plan for killing that demonic cultivator, right？”
　　Xu Taiping asked tentatively.
　　“That’s right.” Duan Tianya nodded with a smile and said：
　　“This remnant soul of mine, and the body of that flying corpse, can at most support me to swing one knife. And I’m not sure if this one knife can kill that demonic cultivator, so I didn’t let you leave, little friend.”
　　He didn’t hide at all that he had left Xu Taiping behind only out of self-interest.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t really care about this.
　　Because he also knew very well that even if he escaped at that time, he might still face the pursuit and killing of the demonic cultivator next.
　　“Hoo…”
　　At this time, Duan Tianya poured a few more mouthfuls of wine into his mouth, and then showed a happy expression and said：
“On the verge of death, being able to drink a pot of gentian wine, this life has no regrets.”
“wine can cure your injuries either, Elder Duan?”
　　Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment, and then still asked.
“No.” Duan Tianya shook his head feebly. My life was originally borrowed. Not to mention gentian wine, even if it’s gentian stone, it can’t save me back.
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked another doubt in his heart：
　　“Why did you appear in this fairy mansion ruins, Elder Duan？”
　　Upon hearing this, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on Duan Tianya’s face.
　　“To tell you the truth, I also really want to know this question.”
　　He　said　helplessly.
　　Then, in the puzzled eyes of Xu Taiping, Duan Tianya briefly told Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu about the life experiences of him and the woman beside him.
According to Duan Tianya, he was originally the Sect leader of the Tiandao Sect in the Jiufu Heaven seven hundred years ago. The woman beside him was named Lu Yushi. The two were originally in a master-apprentice relationship, and later developed feelings for each other as they got along for a long time. However, due to secular considerations, they did not become Taoist partners.
Later, Duan Tianya even gave up the position of the sect master and went overseas to practice in other heavens and earth.
　　This trip not only made his cultivation almost break through to the state of Huajing, but also obtained the inheritances of several ancient immortal sects in a secret realm. And his enmity with Jiuyou also almost originated at this time.
In a battle with a demon venerable of Jiuyou, although he successfully injured ed him, he himself also suffered that could not be repaired, and his time was running out.
In order not to let his body be lost, he went through hardships and returned to the Jiufu and the Tiandao Sect.
　　And the Master of the Tiandao Sect at this time was exactly his former disciple Lu Yushi.
　　He originally intended to pass on all his skills to Lu Yushi like this, but unexpectedly, Lu Yushi had always held a grudge about what happened back then. Later, he was even instigated by another disciple of his, Shang Jiu, and ended up fighting him with weapons.
　　After that, the Heavenly Saber Sect went through a turmoil that lasted for decades.
　　During this turmoil, he and Lu Yushi both suffered heavy losses, while that Shang Jiu reaped the benefits of the fisherman, took away his life’s inheritance, and at the same time deceived Lu Yushi for a lifetime.
　　I’m afraid no one would have thought that the once famous Duan Tianya of the Heavenly Saber Sect in the Nine Prefectures spent his final days miserably in the dark and sunless abyss cellar.
　　“For those ten years, the old man could actually end his own life at any time. The reason I didn’t was because there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that the door of the cellar would open and that she would walk towards me from the entrance of the cellar.”
　　At the end of his words, Duan Tianya reached out and gently touched Lu Yushi’s pale cheek.
　　“When I woke up again, I saw you and remembered the past of living as a corpse ghost and with Yushi in this ruin for so many years.”
　　He put down his hand and looked at Xu Taiping with a bitter smile.
　　“According to what you said, Elder Duan, after you and this senior Lu Yushi died, someone refined your two corpses into corpse ghosts, put them in this ruin, and used you to raise that Heavenly Fragrance Vermilion Face Fruit？”
　　After listening to the old man Duan’s account, Xu Taiping deduced.
　　“Judging from the current situation, it should only be like this.”
　　Duan Tianya nodded with a bitter expression.
　　“Who hates you two so much that they won’t let you go even after death.”
　　Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
　　“It can only be him, my second disciple Shang Jiu. And without accident, he should have colluded with Jiuyou, because only the devil cultivators of Jiuyou can be proficient in such a vicious method of raising medicine.”
　　Duan Tianya’s face suddenly turned cold.
　　“Moreover, according to the old man’s understanding of Jiuyou and past experience, now the entire fairy mansion ruins have become the medicine garden of Jiuyou. They are using the corpses of the dead as containers and the flesh and blood of the treasure-hunting cultivators in each mansion as nutrients to raise all kinds of blood medicines similar to this Tianxiang Zhuyan Fruit. And now, it should be the day when these blood medicines mature, so they don’t hesitate to create such a big battle to come and pick them.”
　　He continued to say.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s expression immediately became solemn.
　　Even Lin Buyu, who was originally indifferent to these things on the side, also raised his head at this time and looked at Duan Tianya.
　　“If it’s an ordinary blood medicine, it’s okay. At most, it will make Jiuyou have one or two more devil lords. But if the blood medicine they raise in this fairy mansion ruins is that kind, I’m afraid there will be a great disaster for the nine mansions.”
　　Duan　Tianya　frowned.
　　“Which kind？”
　　Xu Taiping asked eagerly.
　　Duan Tianya looked at Xu Taiping with an extremely solemn expression and said：
　　“The Black Lotus that can allow a Demon Venerable to advance to a Demon Lord is also known as the Demon Lotus.”
