"This is... the Evil-Slaying Sword!" Bei Lanshan finally recognized it and muttered, "No wonder it was able to withstand my attacks."
The Sword of Evil-Slaying, as the name suggests, can kill all evil spirits and is the nemesis of demons.
Before he became a demon, Bei Lanshan always wanted to obtain this sword, and use it to slay demons and monsters and become famous throughout the world.
Later he realized that what should be killed was not the evil spirits, but the human heart.
People are selfish. The elder of the Meteorite Sect wants to use the magic weapon made from the fox fairy's bones to forcibly practice evil skills. He is not an evil demon, but he has caused countless innocent people to lose their lives.
So Bei Lanshan no longer wanted to obtain the Sword of Evil Slaying.
In order to snatch Hu Yunrong's bones back from the elders, he became possessed without any hesitation.
But he didn't expect that the Evil-Slaying Sword would become a major obstacle in his journey to resurrect Hu Yunrong.
Under the protection of the Evil-Slaying Sword, Chen Yijin walked up to Bei Lanshan and kept a certain distance from him. "Please trust me one last time. I really do have a way to revive Hu Yunrong without using forbidden techniques."
Seeing Bei Lanshan's disbelief, Chen Yijin continued, "Like you, I think it's not worth it for it to sacrifice its life for the villagers. But don't forget, Yunrong saved so many villagers. If the merits of saving people were attributed to her, she would be able to ascend."
Hu Yunrong is already a fox fairy. When her merits accumulate to a certain level, she can definitely ascend to heaven.
If the people of Qianfang Village and several surrounding villages had not believed the lies of the so-called "immortal" and thought that he was the one who could solve the village's epidemic, Hu Yunrong might have ascended to heaven long ago.
"So, as long as we make up for the merits that Yunrong failed to obtain, Yunrong will definitely be able to be resurrected as a fox fairy, not to mention ascending on the spot." Chen Yijin looked into Bei Lanshan's eyes and said.
Bei Lanshan understood what Shen Yijin meant, but where could he get so much merit to revive Hu Yunrong?
Bei Lanshan frowned and asked, "Is incense not enough? For years, I have been asking the villagers of Qianfang Village and their descendants to provide incense for Yunrong. Yunrong became an immortal through incense. Can incense be used to rebuild her body?"
Chen Yijin didn't want to disappoint Bei Lanshan, but the fact was that incense and offerings were no match for merit, and only merit could allow Hu Yunrong to reshape her body.
"When you took the bones back from the elders, didn't you think about taking revenge on the immortal who cheated Hu Yunrong of her merits? Or at least knowing where he is would be fine." Chen Yijin said tactfully.
Bei Lanshan knew what Chen Yijin meant. Incense could not replace merit, but they could take back the merit that belonged to Hu Yunrong from the "immortal".
Bei Lanshan's expression remained grim: "But this person is already dead."
Shen Yijin wasn't surprised: "You killed him?"
"No, he was also taken by the elders to refine a magical weapon." Bei Lanshan's face was gloomy. "Refining a magical weapon that can transform evil spirits requires merit. The entire sect couldn't gather that much merit, so they used that person as a sacrifice for the magical weapon."
When it comes to exploiting people, the elders always know how to squeeze out the most value from a person.
Chen Yijin sighed deeply: "Did I owe you something in my previous life? I haven't even used up the merits I just earned yet, but it's about to be used up for you."
She had used up most of her merits in order to save the spirit cats who were petrified and sealed by Bei Lanshan, and she had just used up some of them to save Bei Shitao's soul. Now she really didn't have much merits left.
Now, she has to use the remaining merits to resurrect Hu Yunrong. It is estimated that the remaining merits are not enough, so she has to find a way to get some from other places.
After Bei Lanshan heard what Shen Yijin said, the last bit of demonic energy in his body disappeared.
He looked at Shen Yijin in surprise and asked, "Do you have enough merit to save Yunrong?"
Shen Yijin nodded and opened his palm towards him: "Give me Yunrong's bones, and I will give it the merits."
Bei Lanshan took out Hu Yunrong's skeleton and stared at Shen Yijin, fearing that she would do something bad to the skeleton.
Chen Yijin took a deep breath, passed his remaining merits to Hu Yunrong, and took another drop of his own heart blood, using it to draw a formation on the skeleton.
"What formation are you drawing?" Bei Lanshan didn't see what kind of formation Shen Yijin was drawing, but he knew how to set up formations himself, and he could see that Shen Yijin's formation would not harm Hu Yunrong's skeleton.
So he just asked and did not stop Shen Yijin's actions.
Shen Yijin replied distractedly: "I'm drawing the soul-calling formation."
Although this skeleton belongs to Hu Yunrong, after so many years, it was taken away by the elders of the Meteorite Sect to make a magical weapon. Only a weak connection remains between this skeleton and the repaired soul of Hu Yunrong. Without the assistance of the soul-calling formation, it is difficult to guarantee that Hu Yunrong can retain her complete memory after returning to this skeleton.
Bei Lanshan felt relieved and watched Shen Yijin proceed to the next step.
Shen Yijin used the soul-calling formation to recall Hu Yunrong's soul. She guided the merits in the skeleton, repairing Hu Yunrong's soul while allowing Hu Yunrong to regain control of the skeleton.
Merit is like 502 glue, tightly connecting Hu Yunrong's soul and bones together.
Bei Lanshan looked at Hu Yunrong's skeleton with a strange expression. He waited until Chen Yijin withdrew before asking, "Is that all? What's the difference between this and a skeleton? Also, when will Yunrong wake up? You're not lying to me again, are you?"
Shen Yijin's remaining merits were insufficient, so he could only help Hu Yunrong give birth to a partial physical body.
Now, only Hu Yunrong's head is intact, and the body below the neck is still like a skeleton.
"Well, I don't have enough merit right now, so this is all I can do. But I used my merit to reconnect Yunrong's body and skeleton. Now Yunrong can fully control this body and is not affected by the rules of the magic weapon. She is now the holder of the magic weapon, not the spirit of the weapon."
Chen Yijin touched his nose awkwardly and continued, "As for waking up, it requires incense. Yunrong is a fox fairy, so she still needs to absorb incense."
Bei Lanshan was half-believing and half-doubting. He temporarily caught a ghost from the ghosts that had gathered together but failed to merge with Hu Yunrong's soul, and ordered it to burn incense for Hu Yunrong.
When Shen Yijin saw that the ghost that was caught was a familiar one, the female ghost that she had come all the way to the desert to save.
The female ghost was forced into a wooden doll. She was unfamiliar with using this wooden body and respectfully lit a stick of incense for Hu Yunrong.
The incense slowly rose and floated into Hu Yunrong's body.
After about ten minutes, Hu Yunrong slowly opened his eyes.
"Yunrong, you're awake!" Bei Lanshan immediately knelt beside Hu Yunrong and said excitedly.
Hu Yunrong looked at Bei Lanshan's face, which was completely different from the one in her memory. Having just woken up, her brain hadn't yet reacted. "Who are you... and where is this place?"
Bei Lanshan froze. "I'm Bei Lanshan, Yunrong, don't you remember me?"
