　　“Demon Lotus？”
　　Xu Taiping was not unfamiliar with this term.
Because when the young Martial Uncle and Uncle Baihong went to the Northern Region at the beginning, it was to cut off the Demon Lotus and sever the Demon Root. For this reason, they almost lost their lives in the Northern Region.
　　But what exactly this Demon Lotus is, Xu Taiping actually still has only a half-knowledge until now.
　　“If Demon Cultivators want to improve their realm, in addition to practicing all kinds of inhumane secret methods, they must use a blood medicine for each realm. The quality of the blood medicine will determine the success or failure of the promotion, and even the potential after the promotion. The blood medicine Heavenly Fragrance Zhu Yan Fruit that they planted on the old man and my apprentice here is a blood medicine required by some Demon Cultivators when they advance from Demon King to Demon Venerable, and that Demon Lotus is a blood medicine necessary for a Demon Venerable to break through to a Demon Lord.”
　　“And the cultivation of this Demon Lotus is extremely difficult. Some Demon Cultivators, in order to cultivate a Demon Lotus, do not hesitate to use the blood energy of the people of a country to nourish the lotus seed.”
“But compared to the flesh and blood of ordinary people, the flesh and blood of cultivators in the cultivation world is the best nourishment for breeding the Demon Lotus. Therefore, Demon Cultivators often set up traps with various immortal mansions and ruins to lure cultivators to fall into the trap and become the nourishment of the Demon Lotus.”
　　Duan Tianya explained to Xu Taiping very carefully.
　　“If there is really a magic lotus growing in the fairy mansion ruins of Yunmengze, I’m afraid there will be a magic venerable-level existence among the magic cultivators who broke in this time？”
　　Xu Taiping said with some worry.
　　“That won’t be the case.”
　　Duan Tianya shook his head.
　　“The ruins of Yunmengze have existed since I was young. Although the formation barrier in it is far less powerful than it was at that time, if a strong person at the level of a magic venerable forcefully breaks in, the barrier will definitely spare no effort to kill him.”
　　He explained to Xu Taiping.
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
　　Just now, just a magic monarch-level existence was so difficult to deal with. If he encounters a strong person at the magic venerable level, he will surely die.
　　“Old Duan, there is one thing about the fairy mansion ruins of Yunmengze that puzzles me very much.”
　　Xu Taiping suddenly said with a puzzled expression.
　　“What　is　it？”
　　Duan　Tianya　asked.
　　“Obviously it is the ruins of a fairy mansion, but why are there all kinds of corpse ghosts and the like in the ruins？”
　　Xu　Taiping　asked.
　　Upon hearing this, Duan Tianya laughed heartily, and then explained to Xu Taiping：
　　“In these ancient fairy mansion ruins, at the beginning, there was actually nothing but mechanisms and some spirit beasts guarding the ruins. But later, more and more cultivators came to explore, and more and more cultivators died inside. Most of the bodies of these cultivators were extraordinary, and the probability of turning into corpse ghosts was much higher than that of ordinary corpses.”
　　“So over time, these fairy mansion ruins were gradually occupied by corpse ghosts.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
　　“Regarding the matter of the magic lotus, I just want to remind you that after getting what you want, find a safe place to hide as soon as possible. After all, no one can guarantee what the people of Jiuyou will do.”
　　“If possible, when you go out, also remind the cultivators outside. If a devil master really appears in Jiuyou, the nine mansions will surely usher in a catastrophe. At that time, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators will probably fall eight or nine out of ten.”
　　Duan Tianya said earnestly.
　　“Thank you for the reminder, Old Duan.”
　　Xu Taiping wrote it down seriously.
　　“Gulu…”
　　At this time, Duan Tianya poured another mouthful of wine into his mouth, and then with a happy expression on his face, he said to himself：
　　“Today I drank two pots of Longdan wine from you, young man. If I don’t show something, it will definitely not be reasonable.”
　　Then, he looked at Xu Taiping’s hand with the Ghost-Sealing Talisman.
　　“Young man, is the evil soul sealed in your hand formed by the obsession of a sword cultivator?”
　　He asked Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　“How did you see that？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
　　“After you and I went upstairs, its sword intent kept provoking me.”
　　Duan　Tianya　grinned.
　　“You can feel its sword intent？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little skeptical.
　　“Open your palm and let me see your ghost-sealing talisman.”
　　Duan Tianya smiled at Xu Taiping.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping spread out his palm dubiously.
　　After the palm was spread out, the talisman seal of the ghost-sealing talisman was revealed, and there were still One by one unhealed cracks near the talisman seal.
　　Lin Buyu on the side also brought her head closer to Xu Taiping at this time, blinking those big eyes and staring at Xu Taiping’s palm very curiously.
　　“Is this thing devouring the blood energy on your body？” She stared at Xu Taiping and asked.
　　“Yes.” Xu Taiping nodded.
　　“Does it hurt？” Lin Buyu asked again.
　　“A little.” Xu Taiping answered truthfully.
　　Duan Tianya on the side showed a meaningful smile when he saw this scene.
　　“Girl,　move　aside.”
　　He moved the chair closer to Xu Taiping.
　　Lin Buyu sat up straight again, and there was still no emotion on her face.
　　“Old Duan, what do you want to do？”
　　Seeing that Old Duan had been staring at the palm of his hand, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but ask.
Since it dares to provoke me, of course I have to return it.
　　Duan Tianya pulled up Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　He stretched out one of his own fingers, and then gently Streak across that finger on the Ghost Talisman.
　　And the moment Duan Tianya’s finger Streak across , an extremely sharp saber intent suddenly swept through the entire Listening to the Wind Building.
Finally, these saber intents were like a tide, all merged into the tip of his finger and slashed towards the Ghost Talisman.
Suddenly, Xu Taiping seemed to hear the saber ghost in the Ghost Talisman let out a roar of dissatisfaction.
　　“Not convinced？ Not convinced, then this old man will give another slash.”
　　Duan Tianya grinned at this time, and then, under Xu Taiping’s surprised gaze, gently Streak across the tip of his finger on the talisman seal again.
　　Although it was just a gentle Streak across , Xu Taiping clearly heard the tremor sound of the collision of the sword and saber.
　　An even sharper saber intent began to flow through the tip of Duan Tianya’s finger.
At the same time, he could also feel another violent saber intent trying to rush out from the palm of his hand.
But as Duan Tianya’s finger Streak across the palm of his hand, that violent saber intent was quickly disintegrated.
　　Although it was not a direct confrontation, Xu Taiping could feel that Duan Tianya’s saber intent had truly suppressed the saber intent of Saber Ghost.
　　And when Saber Ghost’s saber intent was suppressed, the talisman seal in Xu Taiping’s palm automatically hid into the palm.
　　The speed at which the talisman seal devoured blood qi also became almost imperceptible.
　　”Thank you, Old Duan.”
　　Xu Taiping said a word of thanks with a serious expression on his face.
　　Obviously, the two “saber strikes” by Duan Tianya just now were to help him suppress Saber Ghost in the talisman seal, thereby reducing the backlash of the talisman seal on him.
Compared to your two flasks of Gendan wine, this is nothing at all.
　　Duan Tianya shook his head, and then coughed violently a few more times.
