Eyes facing each other.
Ning Tao said calmly: "The matter is very simple. Either you give me the skull fragment and tell me what happened back then. Or I leave and you keep the skull fragment and half of the flying sword, and we will never interact with each other from now on."
Master Miexin was silent for a moment before saying, "You need to repair the flying sword first, and then I will give you the skull fragments."
Ning Tao chuckled and said: "Do you treat me like a three-year-old child? Just now, I just repaired half of the flying swords and you came over with a large group of people. If I repaired all your flying swords, how could you still Will you give me skull fragments?"
Master Miexin said: "You have obtained the skull fragments, will you still repair the flying sword for the poor nun?"
Ning Tao said: "I'm different from you. I cultivate the way of heaven, and I can do it when I say it. If you are really worried, you can show me the skull first and tell me about the scarlet jade." Story. Then I will repair the flying sword for you, and then you will give me the skull fragment."
It doesn't matter whether he wants the skull fragment or not, he just needs to remember the prescription on it.
Master Jiexin was silent for a while before saying, "Come with the poor nun."
Ning Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed Master Mie Xin.
On the way, Master Jiexin broke the silence between the two of them: "I really don't understand. That elixir is a very dangerous thing and is even more dangerous in troubled times. Why are you still so persistent and trying every possible means to get it?"
Ning Tao thought for a moment before saying: "If a person kills someone with a knife, does the fault lie on the blade or on the person? I don't know how the master is sure that the Xunzu Pill is a dangerous thing, but I think as long as it is used in the right way , Not only will it not cause chaos, it may even benefit the world. As I said, the Xunzu Pill I refined using the incomplete recipe can treat patients with epilepsy and total paralysis.”
After a conversation, Master Jiexin fell silent again.
Ning Tao didn't expect that a few words could convince someone like Master Mie Xin. He followed Master Mie Xin and after a while, he returned to the main hall at the highest point of the hill.
"Please come in." Master Jiexin's tone was more polite.
Ning Tao nodded politely, and then followed Master Miexin into the Main Hall.
The statue of Sakyamuni Buddha sits cross-legged on a lotus throne, majestic, majestic and compassionate. It was high up, overlooking Ning Tao, its eyes did not change at all, and there could be no change. In Ning Tao's view, the human face on the Cauldron of Good and Evil is actually more "divine" because it can distinguish good from evil.
"Sit down." Master Mie Xin first sat cross-legged on a futon, then raised her finger to the futon beside her.
Ning Tao also followed her example and sat cross-legged on the futon.
Master Miexin said: "If you want to hear the story of that year, I will tell it to you."
Ning Tao looked at Master Jiexin with great concentration.
Master Mie Xin collected her thoughts and then spoke: "In the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637), a monster appeared in the world of cultivation, called Fox Fairy. We don't know where she came from, we only know that she is a fox spirit. She I'm looking for a cultivation doctor like you everywhere to refine an elixir for her. That elixir is Xunzu Dan..."
Ning Tao was shocked in his heart, but he tried his best to remain calm on his face.
Master Mie Xin continued: "That Fox Princess has a violent personality and is ruthless. If the cultivation doctor she finds disobeys, he will be killed immediately. She holds the top ten vicious magic weapons in her hand, ranking number one on the list. Qi's "Six Paths of Reincarnation", she herself is unparalleled in demonic skills and is invincible to anyone, and even if she succumbs to her power, the cultivation doctor who makes elixirs for her will be killed by her if he fails... "
"For a time, the talk in the world of cultivation turned ugly, and everyone in the cultivation world was in danger. During that period, no one even made elixirs or treated diseases, and cultivation doctors were even in danger of becoming extinct. Master Fakong launched a call to eliminate demons, and there was justice in the world of cultivation Everyone with sense and conscience responded. We set up a bait to lure the Fox Lady to show up. She did appear, and we launched a siege. She was seriously injured but still managed to escape with the help of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation"... "
"The Demon Slayer Alliance searched in all directions, but there was no news about her. It was during that period that a legend about the Ancestral Seeking Pill spread. It was said that it was the most popular elixir in the immortal world during the Linggu Period. Once the pill was completed, then The elixir will awaken the great master of the immortal world and harm the world. There are even rumors that the culprit of the destruction of the ancient spirit world is the great master of the immortal world. Unfortunately, the rumors are always rumors, and no version of the rumor mentions the name of the great master of the immortal world. Number… "
Magical weapons have weapon spirits, and elixirs have elixir spirits.
Ning Tao has already seen the weapon spirits, the weapon spirits of the Soul-Eating Urn, and the weapon spirits of the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Diagram", but he has never seen the pill spirit.
What does Dan Ling look like
Without warning, the woman in red appeared in Ning Tao's mind. Could she be the elixir of Xunzu Dan
"The Xunzu Pill has not yet been refined, but it has disturbed the peace of the world of cultivation and caused a bloody storm. If it is really refined and comes to the world, the world will not be in chaos? The Fox Lady was seriously injured by us and escaped without a trace. Xunzu Dan The elixir prescription also disappeared, and our investigations in all directions yielded no results until a woman named Zhu Hongyu appeared in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi... "
"A Taoist friend received a secret report saying that Zhu Hongyu is the daughter of Fox Ji, and that she has the recipe for Xunzu Dan in her head. After Fox Ji was seriously injured by us, she married Prince Zhu San and gave birth to Zhu Hongyu incognito. , and used the incense in front of the Buddha to carve the place where he found the ancestral pill on the scarlet jade skull... "
"Later, Zhu Hongyu's whereabouts were discovered, and she fled to the Western Province. We followed her all the way. Along the way, we found that several herdsmen's villages were bloodbathed, even the elderly and children were not spared. Finally, we arrived at the Holy Mountain One side intercepted Zhu Hongyu, she had become a demon, and she was the one who killed those herdsmen... "
"The Taoist conduct of Zhu Hongyu was simply incomparable to that of her mother. We killed her easily. A fellow Taoist cut open her head and found the recipe for Xunzu Dan. That fellow Taoist will The skull fragments of Zhu Hongyu were divided into seven parts and then given to different people for safekeeping. Qian Ni was one of the people who kept the skull fragments...
Hearing this, Ning Tao counted silently in his mind. In his hands, he already had Yin Molan's skull fragments, Zhu Hongqin's skull fragments, and the skull fragments found in Florence, which were three skull fragments. Now, he is about to get the fourth piece. If Nicolas Conti and the cultivation forces behind Chuangshi Biotechnology each have one piece, it means that six pieces have already appeared in the world. He only needs to find the best piece to get it together. Zudan’s recipe!
Hypothetically, if Nicolas Conde or one of the cultivating forces behind Chuangshi Biotechnology owns two skull fragments, it means that the recipe for Xunzu Dan is already complete, and all that is needed is to obtain Nicolas Conde and Chuangshi Biotechnology. With the skull fragments in the hands of the cultivation forces behind the company, he can get the complete recipe for the Ancestor-Seeking Pill!
But this is just a theory. The cultivation forces behind Nicholas Conti and Chuangshi Biotechnology Company most likely only have a skull fragment. And even for those two pieces, it will not be easy to get either piece. "Do you think this is the ending of the story? No." Master Miexin said sadly: "Just when that Taoist friend divided the scarlet jade skull fragments into seven parts, the world suddenly fell into a darkness that could not be seen. , someone attacked us, and we lost many people. The flying sword of the poor nun was also damaged in that battle. At the end of the battle, only one fragment of Zhu Hongyu's skull was left, which was the poor nun. The piece you are holding..."
Ning Tao couldn't help but ask: "Who attacked you?"
Master Miexin shook his head: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Ning Tao was surprised. Master Mie Xin and Master Fakong were both the leading brother and the leading sister in the modern world of cultivation. The demon slaying alliance formed by the two actually didn't even know who attacked them. I don’t know how powerful that person must be!
Master Miexin smiled bitterly: "I know you don't believe it, but this is the truth. This is the story of Zhu Hongyu. After hearing this story, are you sure you want her skull fragments?"
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "Master Destroying Heart, almost all seven skull fragments have appeared in the world. This one collected by the Emei Sect will not bring you any benefits. I am here today, you can still refuse me, if it is When the man who attacked you comes, can you still refuse him? Also, a man named Nicholas Conti has emerged in the West. He combines cultivation and technology and is very powerful. He controls the famous mercenary company Black. Fire Company, if he comes here with technological weapons and mercenaries, can you refuse him?"
Master Jiexin's expression suddenly changed.
Ning Tao continued: "What is coming will always come, and there is no escaping. Give me that skull fragment, and I will declare to the outside world that it is in my hands. In the future, even if that man and Nicholas Conti want to rob , that can only be snatched from my hands. That’s all I have to say, please think about it yourself.”
"You will die." Master Xinxin said.
Ning Tao smiled calmly: "If you want to find someone in the world of cultivation who is risking his life every day, that person is definitely me. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
"Well, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Just say this to you, and if you repair the air-piercing flying sword for the poor nun, the poor nun will give you the fragment of the skull." Master Miexin stood still. Get up and walk behind the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha.
Ning Tao didn't follow him. He had played all the cards that needed to be played and said all the things that needed to be said. Now he could only wait for the results to appear.
A few minutes later, Master Miexin returned and handed an old wooden box to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao reached out and took the wooden box, his hands trembling slightly.
The wooden box was opened, and there was a skull fragment lying on its back, with the place for finding the ancestor's elixir written on it by the incense in front of the Buddha.
Master Mie Xin said, "Go back. Ci'en will send the spirit to repair the flying sword to your room later."
Ning Tao didn't have time to take a closer look, so he closed the wooden box: "Then let me go back first and wait for my good news."
Master Miexin said again: "Remember the promise you made to the poor nun. If you take this skull fragment, you will declare to the outside world that it is in your hands."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth: "I am not making a promise to you, but a promise to everyone here."
Such as compassion, such as those nuns who don’t even know where their hometown is.
"Amitabha." Master Miexin proclaimed the Buddha's name.
Ning Tao strode away.
