Chapter 437: Joining the Game with a Death Writ
A strange roar frightened Lingxiang so much that she almost spilled the freshly ground Glauber's salt. She cursed while cleaning the medicine table and glanced at Yinghuan from time to time.
When Yinghuan saw this, she became furious.
What does this damn girl mean? Is she attacking someone else?
But Lingxiang was not afraid at all. She was busy with her own business and even glared back at him provocatively.
What? What can you do to me?
Seeing the incense almost reaching her nostrils, Yinghuan was so angry that her knuckles were almost like firecrackers, but she didn't dare to move at all and could only sulk inwardly.
The Huitian Pill has been refined for more than two years, and Lingxiang is not sure whether she can succeed in refining it this time.
It's not for the Demon Lord, it's just to prove myself.
According to past experience, the reason for failure is that every time I activate the furnace, I use my own fire formula.
As a mortal, the magic he uses, even if it gathers the spirit of heaven and earth, is still mortal. The recipe of the elixir of life comes from Yao Ji, so the fire in the elixir furnace naturally cannot be ordinary.
Before leaving Yunmengze, Lingxiang borrowed the Yunmeng fire from Fairy Yaoji. The reason why she never used it was because she was waiting for the chaos in the demon world.
Because this batch of pills will be the Demon Lord's death warrant.
Although she looked very glamorous on the surface, Lingxiang knew that her every move had been monitored for the past three years.
The so-called "Princess of the Demon Realm" and "Princess of the Capital City" are just excuses for the Demon Lord to abduct Lingxiang.
Give the demons an excuse.
What the Demon Lord wanted was Lingxiang's alchemy, and Lingxiang knew this very well, but they just kept it a secret.
Lingxiang had already known all this from the Dust-Peeping Mirror three years ago, before Yuanqing suffered. The reason why Lingxiang was so determined to treat Long Qi was also because of the prediction of the Dust-Peeping Mirror.
This includes the Demon Lord's recurrence of Yuan Qing, or the current turmoil in the demon world.
When they came out of Wuji Palace that night, Lingxiang started planning, so she gave Long Qi the Hanyu Pill and entrusted Luo Li to set up a complicated formation on Qingwei Peak.
Wan Gu Qiong Cang once said to Ling Xiang: "Everything started with you, and it will end with you."
Although the scene in the mirror was not detailed, it made Lingxiang understand that everything would eventually happen.
Although Lingxiang didn't understand why she had become like this, but things had come to this point, and since there was no way out, she would just join the game and play against fate.
So Lingxiang seems to be arrogant and domineering, playing pranks on Yinghuan all day long, but what she does is just a trick to deceive people.
If she didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to deceive the people who were watching her secretly. In fact, she had been planning a way to win.
Success or failure depends on three years of cautiousness.
Although the pill that the Demon Lord took was indeed a life-extending pill, Lingxiang had made some subtle changes to it.
The steps of refining the elixir were no different from usual, except that the wandering soul grass was added, and some netherworld fire was added when suppressing the fire.
But don't underestimate these two items, they are Lingxiang specially tailored for the Demon Lord.
The Netherworld Fire is formed from the resentment of all wronged souls and evil spirits in the underworld. Although it has the word "fire" in its name, it is an extremely yin thing; and the Wandering Soul Grass absorbs the energy of the Netherworld, and its medicinal properties are extremely cold.
If it is an ordinary person, with all three fires and a complete soul, these two things will naturally not pose a threat.
But the Demon Lord is a demon. Even if he takes over Ling Xiao's body, his soul is still that of a demon. Without a complete soul, it is impossible for him to completely take over Ling Xiao's body.
This is the reason why the Demon Lord is always moody.
After being refined by the netherworld fire and added with the wandering soul grass, once the resulting elixir enters the body, it will harm the soul and make it unstable, making it easier for the Demon Lord to fall into chaos.
This was all thanks to the fact that the demons were not proficient in alchemy, which gave Lingxiang such an opportunity. After all, even if she was discovered, she could find an excuse to cover it up.
After all, Lingxiang is very good at talking nonsense.
I have to lie to others because I am forced to do so. It is not shameful to do so in order to survive!
The soul of this little demon lord has already adapted to the extreme cold of yin. Just a breath of extremely yang energy will shatter his soul in an instant.
And this breath is now in Lingxiang's hands.
There was another strange roar, and a slight tremor under his feet followed, which continued for a long time.
The bottles and jars on the medicine table were colliding with each other, making a loud noise. It was quite lively.
Could there be earthquakes in the underworld?
Lingxiang was stunned at first, then speechless.
How could that be? Perhaps some difficult Taoist friend had angered the hot-tempered Da Sima.
If he weren't hostile, the old man would be really interesting!
Lingxiang curled her lips and put away the fire in her hand.
The elixir fire has been almost fueled, and this batch of elixirs should be ready soon, but I don’t know what the final result will be.
The tremors suddenly stopped, as if interrupted, and the bottles and jars on the table finally stopped moving.
But Lingxiang suddenly sighed at this moment, the sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the entire Yinxu Palace to hear.
"They're just a few stinky Taoist priests, yet they've even had to trouble the Grand Marshal to go there personally. They haven't been dealt with yet. On the contrary, some of the subordinates are still hiding here with a clear conscience. This is truly unprecedented."
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's all because of you!"
Yinghuan blurted out something, then realized something was wrong. She hurriedly looked at the Demon Lord on the seat, and seeing that he looked normal, she felt relieved.
In fact, the Demon Lord frowned for a moment, but he quickly recovered his composure, as if nothing had ever happened.
But at this moment, Lingxiang captured it.
"Oh! She's anxious!" Lingxiang imitated the opera teacher, raised her orchid finger, and put on a very artificial expression. "I haven't even mentioned the name yet, so why is General Yiyou so anxious to recognize it?"
Then he covered his mouth with his sleeves and said, "I didn't mean to say that you were just sitting there doing nothing. I just think that it's a bit unpleasant to let an old man rush to the front line when the enemy is at hand. If this gets out, the general's reputation will be..."
Lingxiang deliberately didn't finish her words, but Yinghuan understood.
Every word is useless, but every word is dereliction of duty.
Bah! What the hell is reputation? Why do I care about it?
But these words still succeeded in exciting Yinghuan.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal has been fighting for a long time. I am willing to lead the troops to attack and lend him a helping hand!" Yinghuan asked.
"That's inappropriate!" The Grand Tutor at the side spoke up to stop him, "The capital is now under siege, how can you leave your Highness's side?"
You old bastard, it's you who's causing trouble again!
Lingxiang looked at Da Situ with displeasure, and the latter glanced at her meaningfully.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a guard rushed into the hall.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, a Taoist sect broke into the palace and is heading towards the Yinxu Palace."
"What?" Da Si Tu was shocked. "Did they send anyone to stop them?"
"We've already sent out three teams, but that person was extremely cunning and seemed to be very familiar with the palace's terrain. He disappeared in the blink of an eye."
What kind of Taoist priest is this? How could he be familiar with Miyagi?!
Da Sima looked at Lingxiang, who had a look of insincere astonishment on her face.
"Ah! Why are there Taoist priests in the palace? Oh my, what should I do?"
