Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Lin Xi take out something.

"Sorry, I took the wrong one."

As she spoke, she took out another stack of talismans that was almost twice as thick as the intermediate talismans she had just used.

Feeling the spiritual power emanating from the stack of talismans, the man felt like vomiting blood.

Because it turned out to be a stack of high-level talismans!

In all his life, he had only seen a high-level talisman once.

The high-level talisman was obtained by a friend of his from his master, and he carefully preserved it and regarded it as a treasure.

And this yellow-haired girl actually has so many high-level talismans in her hands!

Seeing that his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, Lin Xi asked kindly.

"You like it? Give you one?"

As she spoke, she threw out a high-level talisman at the man!

The man was shocked instantly.

He could only barely deal with the intermediate-level talismans. If he was hit by the advanced Five Thunder Talisman, he would be half dead if not killed.

At the critical moment, he could only take out his life-saving magic weapon, a jade pendant with only half left, and raised it in front of him to block the attack.

When the Five Thunder Talisman and the jade pendant collided, bursts of dazzling light were emitted.

After receiving this blow, the color of the jade pendant instantly dimmed a lot.

The man was immediately heartbroken upon seeing this, and the look he gave Lin Xi was as cold as if it were poisoned.

Lin Xi's gaze fell on the jade pendant in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The jade pendant was only half at this time, in the shape of a half moon, with a mandarin duck in the middle, slightly tilting its head and looking towards the other side.

It is not difficult to guess that the complete jade pendant should have two mandarin ducks combined into a circle, thus becoming a mandarin duck jade pendant.

And what a coincidence, this mandarin duck jade pendant was exactly the one she had seen before, and it was also one of the magic weapons of her Taixuan Sect.

Lin Xi's eyes turned cold.

"Where did you get this mandarin duck jade pendant? Is there still half of it?"

The man was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Xi could read out the full name of the jade pendant so clearly, and also knew that it was not a complete jade pendant.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Of course he would not tell Lin Xi that he had snatched the jade pendant from someone else.

At this moment, he just wanted to get rid of Lin Xi quickly and didn't want to waste any more time.

Unfortunately, this jade pendant needs to be pieced together to unleash its full power, otherwise it is just an ordinary protective jade pendant.

The other half is currently underground.

The man knew that he was no match for Lin Xi, so he quickly left the building and turned to Ma Mingkai behind him.

"Call those bodyguards over and find a way to capture her!"

He said he would arrest him, but in fact he knew very well that he couldn't even subdue Lin Xi, so those bodyguards would only die if they went there.

This has nothing to do with him. He just needs them to hold Lin Xi back temporarily.

As long as he can take this opportunity to rescue the people below, it will be enough.

Ma Mingkai had no idea of ​​what was going on in his mind, so he obeyed and quickly called all the bodyguards over. Then he waved his hand and ordered them to arrest Lin Xi.

There are a total of ten bodyguards who came this time, all of them are strong and sturdy men. They will not go easy on Lin Xi just because she is a girl. They only have the mission in their eyes.

A group of people walked towards Lin Xi with a fierce look in their eyes, while the master took the opportunity to bypass them and crawl towards the back wall of the first floor.

Lin Xi wanted to knock down these bodyguards immediately, but when she saw from the corner of her eye that the master seemed to want to flip a switch, she suddenly stopped being anxious.

Since someone can get the things out of the ground for her without digging a hole, why not do it?

So she started fighting with the bodyguards as if it was a game, making them run around in circles but unable to do anything to her.

At the same time, she had the leisure to watch the master's every move.

She saw the master first quickly touched a brick on the wall, then took out a small brick-like object and put it into a groove.

Then he pushed gently, and a staircase leading to the underground appeared before him.

There is a basement there.

He didn't look at Lin Xi, and immediately headed towards the basement after the stairs appeared.

Seeing this, Lin Xi finally ended his boring play with the bodyguards. He knocked them all out one by one with three consecutive blows, and then he also went into the basement.

The stairs leading to the basement are not long, only less than ten steps to reach the basement.

The basement was pitch black, and the only person in front was the man holding a flashlight and quickly walking towards the center of the basement.

There was actually a bed in the center of the basement.

And on the bed, there was only a dress.

The dress was spread out neatly, as if someone was wearing it, and even the shoes were placed thirty centimeters away from the hem.

It's like it's arranged according to the shape of a person wearing a skirt.

Others might not be able to see it, but Lin Xi could see it clearly. A transparent soul was lying on the skirt, and even the position of the shoes was exactly the same as that of her feet.

That's right, it was the soul of a woman.

Lin Xi also looked and saw that the other half of the mandarin duck jade was placed on the chest of the ghost.

This mandarin duck jade has the effect of nourishing the soul, and wearing it for a long time can indeed strengthen the soul.

In addition to these, there are also remnants of alchemy formations, which are placed around the soul of that person.

From this, it can be seen that the soul refining technique destroyed by Lin Xi, and those souls that were absorbed, were used to feed this dead soul.

The man moved quickly. After coming near the bed, he took out a talisman, intending to collect the sleeping soul of the man into the talisman.

Lin Xi's figure was faster than him. When he was about to put the soul into the belt, he stopped him and slapped a talisman on the man.

At this point, the man could no longer move.

But his eyes gradually became angry, frightened, and finally filled with pleading as Lin Xi moved.

Lin Xi looked at the soul lying on the bed, and his gaze fell on the face of the man.

She hadn't looked carefully just now, but now she realized that the man was already married, but unfortunately his wife was already dead.

"Is this the spirit of your wife?"

she asked the man.

The man couldn't answer, but his anxious eyes had already revealed the answer.

Lin Xi continued to guess.

"You set up the Soul Refining Formation, drawing those dead souls into it and absorbing their soul power, all in order to replenish your wife's soul, and then—resurrect her?"

Lin Xi was not sure what this person was going to do with the soul refining technique to collect soul power, but now seeing the scene in front of him, everything became clear.

After a person dies, his soul usually has two resting places.

One is that once the time and opportunity arise, one must go to the underworld to report and then be reborn.

The other is that their last wishes have not been fulfilled and they are unwilling to reincarnate, so they still stay in the human world.

These are the choices available to ghosts when they have subjective consciousness.

Of course, some ghosts may be affected by something, such as being swallowed by other evil spirits, or being accidentally injured, causing their souls to fly away and disappear from the world.

Lin Xi had no idea what had happened to this woman's soul that caused it to fall into a deep sleep.

But she only knew one thing: the dead could not be brought back to life.

This man's delusion of wanting to resurrect his wife was an act against heaven. Moreover, he was committing this crime by harming the souls of innocent people, making him a crime that everyone should punish!

There are indeed some evil and forbidden techniques that can bring people back to life. Most of them choose an "ownerless body" and stuff the soul into it, using this method to "regain life."

In fact, it is just robbing the old man of his body and taking over his own body.

What is needed in this situation is that the soul is intact and can enter the body on its own.

But the soul of the woman in front of him was obviously severely damaged, and she had even lost consciousness. If it weren't for the nourishment of other soul powers and the mandarin duck jade to consolidate her soul, she would have disappeared long ago.

Therefore, in order to bring her back to life, the first thing to do is to repair her soul, then awaken it, and finally choose a suitable body for her so that her soul can occupy that body.

Only in this way can the result of "resurrection" be achieved.

But in this case, this matter would require the sacrifice of many innocent souls and even innocent "bodies".

The man didn't expect that the plan he had worked so hard on would be seen through by Lin Xi at a glance, and his eyes showed even more panic.

He tried desperately to say something, but Lin Xi didn't give him a chance to speak.

She immediately took out her phone and contacted Xu Fei, asking him to send someone over to resolve the situation.

She didn't plan to care about the rest of the situation anymore.

Anyway, it seems that she has already investigated the matter thoroughly, so it can be resolved.

What she didn't expect was that when she was making the call, the man next to her actually forced out a mouthful of blood and even sacrificed his own cultivation to forcibly break Lin Xi's immobilization talisman!

Lin Xi frowned and immediately looked at the man.

The man's skin condition collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his hair turned gray instantly, and he aged at least ten years in just a few seconds!

But he had no time to care about anything on his body. After he was able to move, he immediately stumbled to the bedside and stretched out his hands to protect the transparent soul.

He was clearly aware that he had no ability to resist Lin Xi's attack, and his attitude was no longer as tough as before, only pleading.

"I beg you, don't hurt her. I'm the one who did something wrong. It doesn't matter what you want to do to me, just don't hurt her..."

"She's become like this now. There's nothing she can do. She won't hurt anyone. This is all my fault. Just come at me..."

The man spoke excitedly.

Seeing that Lin Xi was unmoved, he simply plopped down on the ground.

"I was the one who set up the Soul Refining Formation, and I was the one who extracted the souls of those people. Everything is my fault, I am the culprit!"

As he spoke, his voice gradually choked.

"They are innocent, but if I don't do this, there is no way for her to come back to life."

"I've let her down. Since we got married, I haven't let her have a good day. Even her death was caused by me..."

As he spoke, the man couldn't help but fall into reminiscence.

Lin Xi guessed correctly, the soul lying on the bed was indeed the soul of his deceased wife.

Originally, he and his wife were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, had a good relationship, and knew each other's families well.

After marriage, people should live in harmony and love.

Unfortunately, his wife has never had a good day since the day she married him, with endless hard work and his unconscious indifference.

Even more so, her death.

It was also caused by him!

…

When he was a child, a blind fortune teller came to their village and said that he had talent and wanted to take him as his master and teach him martial arts.
