"Haha, I'm already half dead, so how can I be excited? But before I die completely, I would be willing to see Zhan Yingluo fall into such a situation."
Xu Chunniang did not agree with him. She agreed to Cheng Shangling's condition on trying her best to save his life.
"As long as your soul is still alive, you won't die."
"Is your soul still alive? Fellow Daoist Xu may not know what that thief Zhan did to me."
Cheng Qingjia's Niwan Palace shook again, and it took a long time for it to calm down.
He forced himself to stay awake and told her what had happened to him in the past few days.
"… She extracted all my blood, condensed it into blood essence, and used the blood essence to refine my seven souls. That's all I know. Afterwards, my seven souls were refined and I almost lost all my perception. I only regained consciousness not long ago."
Only then did Xu Chunniang understand why her soul and blood had made two movements when she used it to perform the blood traction technique.
Zhan Yingluo actually tried to refine all of Cheng Qingjia's blood and spirit for her own use and forcibly create a bloodline of the Cheng family.
What’s even more incredible is that she was already halfway successful. If Xu Chunniang hadn’t arrived in time, she would have already succeeded!
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but ponder that everything Zhan Yingluo did was extremely purposeful.
She took such great pains to obtain the Cheng family's bloodline, she must have some ulterior motive.
"Do you know why she did this?"
"have no idea."
Cheng Qingjia's spiritual fluctuations gradually weakened, "I feel so uncomfortable, Fellow Daoist Xu, am I going to die soon?"
Xu Chunniang was silent for a moment, and then wrapped his Niwan Palace with her spiritual consciousness.
"No, but you really can't stay in Niwan Palace any longer. You should come out first."
"I sealed my three souls and am unable to break the seal... Fellow Daoist Xu, if you have the chance to see my grandfather again in the future, please tell him... I'm sorry..."
Cheng Qingjia's spiritual fluctuations became weaker and weaker, and in the end there was no movement at all.
And the vital breath in his mouth seemed to be about to collapse.
Xu Chunniang was startled, and in a flash she suddenly thought of something and took out a Yang Soul Pearl from her storage ring.
This Yang Soul Pearl is a gem formed when the Yang Bird ate many Yin Souls. Perhaps it can be of help to Cheng Qingjia now.
She is not a medicine practitioner, so she can only give it a try.
A magical scene appeared. As soon as the Yang Soul Pearl appeared, it dispelled all the black fog outside the Niwan Palace.
This Yang Soul Pearl actually still retains a trace of the characteristics of the Yang Bird!
When Xu Chunniang saw this scene, her expression eased a little. She felt that this was the right move.
After the Yang Soul Pearl dispelled the black fog, it turned into a pure soul power and fell into Cheng Qingjia's Niwan Palace.
Cheng Qingjia, whose three souls were about to collapse, received the help of this soul power and immediately became much more stable and solid. He even broke through the seal he set in one fell swoop and flew out of the Niwan Palace.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for saving me. However, my body is no longer viable. And I only have three souls left. If I stay in this world, I will just survive. It would be better for me to reincarnate early."
Cheng Qingjia's three souls were extremely gloomy, and he even had the will to die.
"If you feel that you have done justice to your grandfather and family, and that I have followed you all the way and worked hard to save you, then go and reincarnate. But without the Seven Souls, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk safely on this road to the underworld, right?"
Cheng Qingjia's remaining spirit was stunned and he could not help but remain silent. He just stared blankly at his body as it took its last breath and turned into complete deathly silence.
When Xu Chunniang saw him like this, she couldn't bear to say anything more.
"Your seven souls have been refined. Although I can't do anything about it, maybe there are other ways in this world?"
Seeing that Cheng Qingjia's soul had calmed down, Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. She separated a part of her consciousness to protect him, and then looked at the barrier behind her.
Is this the barrier that Zhan Yingluo mentioned, the one that hides the Penglai treasure
The treasure that she missed so much must be a great treasure.
Zhan Yingluo tried every possible means to refine Cheng Qingjia's soul, which shows that this barrier is a bloodline inheritance and can only be opened by members of the Cheng family.
Xu Chunniang thought that if the barrier could be opened by using essence and blood, then Zhan Yingluo would have obtained the treasure long ago.
So what is the key to opening this barrier
In a flash, she felt that she had grasped something, but it was not quite clear.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and asked Cheng Qingjia's soul who was in a daze beside her.
"Has Zhan Yingluo ever asked you for anything?"
"It seems like he asked me for something. I can't remember what it was. I just remember that grandpa said it was something very important..."
Cheng Qingjia's soul shook. After he lost his seven souls, his memory was not complete. "Ah... I can't remember it!"
"Forget it if you really can't remember. It's okay, I'll think of other ways."
Xu Chunniang comforted him, and suddenly thought of something. She waved her hand and took the small bottle containing Zhan Yingluo from the ground.
She removed the previous layer of restrictions, allowing Zhan Yingluo to smoothly transmit her spiritual fluctuations.
As soon as Zhan Yingluo's soul gained some freedom, she quickly asked, "Senior, you want to know how to break the barrier... Xu Chunniang? You are Xu Chunniang, how is it possible!"
Xu Chunniang ignored her and continued talking.
"I already know how to break the barrier. I have something else to ask you."
Zhan Yingluo's soul was in a state of great daze, and she was startled when she heard these words.
"You already know how to break the barrier? Impossible, this is impossible!"
Zhan Yingluo’s soul screamed madly, looking as if she didn’t believe it at all.
But she gradually felt uneasy in her heart. The other party was a Jindan cultivator and also a third-level formation master. It was very likely that he had hidden his cultivation and attainments in formation from the very beginning.
Moreover, she had asked Cheng Qingjia for that thing several times, and only took it by force after failing.
"This barrier is very simple. The reason you spent so much time on it is simply because Cheng Qingjia refused to cooperate."
Hearing these words, Zhan Yingluo's soul trembled slightly. She really knew it!
"And I promised Master Cheng that I would protect Cheng Qingjia's life. He trusts me, so he is willing to hand over the soul blood. I will be able to open the barrier soon."
After hearing this, Zhan Yingluo could no longer endure it. She had been planning for a long time, but it was a pity that in the end she ended up making wedding dresses for others!
Her soul began to tremble, still unwilling to give in.
"You're lying! Cheng Qingjia only has three souls left. Even if he wants to condense his soul blood, he can't do it! His soul and spirit are separated. There is no way you can get the soul blood!"
Xu Chunniang knew that her guess was correct. The key to breaking the barrier lies in the soul and blood.
When Cheng Shangling handed his soul and blood to her, he also mentioned the special nature of the soul and blood.
Soul blood is the essence of the soul and spirit. It is extremely difficult and dangerous to obtain it unless the owner of the soul and blood voluntarily condenses and gives it away.
