Chapter 448: Joining the Game with the Death Talisman

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 making a veiled accusation?
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 fragrance of the incense almost reaching her nostrils, Yinghua was so angry that her knuckles were about to become firecrackers, but she dared not move at all and could only sulk in herself.

The refining of Huitian Pill has been going on 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 Huitian Pill comes from Yao Ji, so the fire in the pill furnace cannot be ordinary.

Before leaving Yunmengze, Lingxiang borrowed the fire of Yunmeng from Fairy Yaoji. The reason why she never used it was that 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 under surveillance for the past three years.

The so-called “Princess of the Demon Realm” and “Princess of the Capital City” were 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 it very well, but they just kept it a secret to each other.

Lingxiang had already known all this from the Dust-peeking 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-peeking Mirror.

This includes the Demon Lord offending Yuan Qing again, 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 Luoli 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 peeping mirror was not detailed, it made Lingxiang understand that everything would eventually happen.

Although Lingxiang didn’t understand why she had become like this, things had come to this point and since there was no way out, she would just join the game and gamble with fate.

So although Lingxiang seems to be arrogant and domineering, playing pranks on Yinghuan and bickering with her all day long, what she does is just a deception.

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 the cautiousness of the past three years.

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 an additional ingredient, the Wandering Soul Grass, was added, and some Netherworld Fire was added when the fire was suppressed.

But don’t underestimate these two items, they are Lingxiang specially tailor-made for the Demon Lord.

The fire of the underworld is formed by 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. The wandering soul grass absorbs the air of the underworld, and its medicinal properties are extremely cold.

For an ordinary person, with all three fires and a complete soul, these two things will naturally not be 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. It is impossible for him to completely take over his body if his soul is missing.

This is the reason why the Demon Lord is always moody.

After being refined by the underworld fire and added with the wandering soul grass, the resulting elixir, once entering the body, would harm the soul and make it unstable, making it easier for the Demon Lord to fall into chaos.

This was 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 was very good at talking nonsense.

I have to lie to others because I have to do it to survive. It’s not shameful!
The soul of this little demon has already adapted to the extreme cold of yin. Just a breath of extreme yang will shatter it in an instant.

And this breath is now in Lingxiang’s hands.

There was another strange roar, and a slight tremor under the 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.

Are there earthquakes in the underworld?
Lingxiang was stunned at first, and then speechless.

How could that be! Perhaps some difficult Taoist friend had angered the hot-tempered Sima.

If he wasn’t hostile, the old man would be really interesting!

Lingxiang curled her lips and put away the fire in her hand.

The pill fire has been almost fueled, and this batch of pills should be ready soon, but I don’t know what the final result will be.

The tremor stopped suddenly, as if it had been 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 right for the entire Yinxu Palace to hear.

“They are just a few stinky Taoist priests, yet they have to trouble the Grand Marshal to go there in person. As a result, they have not been dealt with yet. On the contrary, some people, the subordinates, can still hide here with peace of mind. This is really unprecedented.”

“What nonsense are you talking about! It’s all because of you!”

Yinghuan blurted out, then realized something was wrong, and hurriedly looked at the Demon Lord on the seat. Seeing that he looked normal, she felt relieved.

In fact, the Demon Lord frowned for a moment, but he recovered his composure very quickly, as if nothing had ever happened.

But at this moment, it was captured by Lingxiang.

“Oh! She’s anxious.” Lingxiang imitated the opera teacher and raised her orchid finger with a pretentious expression. “I haven’t even mentioned the name yet, why should General Yiyou be so anxious to recognize it?”

Then he covered his mouth with his sleeves and said, “I didn’t mean to say that you are just sitting there doing nothing. I just think that it is 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 said is useless, but every word said is dereliction of duty.

Bah! What the hell is reputation? Why do I care about that?

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 a helping hand!” Yinghuan requested.

“Not right!” The Grand Tutor at the side said, “The capital is now empty of guards, how can you leave your 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 has broken into the palace and is heading to the Yinxu Palace.”

“What?” Da Si Tu was shocked. “Did they send anyone to stop them?”

“We have already sent out three teams, but that person was extremely cunning and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the palace. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

What kind of Taoist priest is this? How could he be familiar with the palace city?
Da Sima looked at Lingxiang, who had a look of insincere surprise on her face.

“Oh! Why are there Taoists in the palace? Oh my, what should I do?”
