Nine Yang Sword Saint-Chapter 255 - Convincing Ba Bi! Finding Out the Location of the Mystic Flame!

Chapter 255: Convincing Ba Bi! Finding Out the Location of the Mystic Flame!

She was coughing as she spoke and sounded very frail, but her voice actually echoed within Yang Dingtian’s ears from a thousand meters away. It was evident that her cultivation was immeasurable.

“You are an outsider. I do not meet with outsiders. Will this guest please return?” Ba Bi spoke indifferently while coughing at the same time.

“Grand Elder, it is me, Xiangxiang Beila.” Xiangxiang Beila quickly yelled out, “Mister Shen rescued my life. He has something important to ask you, will you please meet with him?”

“Lass Xiangxiang Beila, if you didn’t come with him, I would have already killed him. Why would I allow him to enter?” Ba Bi said coldly, “Hurry up and leave. Don’t force me to make a move.”

Xiangxiang Beila had an awkward expression and whispered to Yang Dingtian, “Elder Ba Bi’s character is very eccentric. She will definitely do the things that she says. We better leave for now and make other plans.”

Yang Dingtian wasn’t willing to leave just like this; hence, he asked, “Elder, I shall not enter. I have something to seek your advice. Can I ask you here?”

“No.” Ba Bi coughed violently and said coldly, “I am not happy. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for killing you to vent my anger.”

“Cough Cough Cough…”

Due to the anger, the old lady Ba Bi was coughing even more violently. In the darkness of the night, it sounded prominently frightful.

“Mother, mother, don’t be angry. This son is already over 100 years old, and even if I die, I will still be considered long-lived. Why, why can’t you just take a lighter view?” At this moment, an extremely frail and aged voice echoed, it was the voice of an old man.

The voice was truly aged and sounded so weak as though he could die at any moment.

Hearing from the manner of speaking, this old man must be Ba Bi’s son.

Ba Bi was feeling so frustrated, possibly because her son was about to pass away.

Yang Dingtian had a sudden idea as he asked, “Elder, is this old sir your son?”

“What are you so pesky for? Do you really think I wouldn’t kill you?” Ba Bi spoke with a harsh voice.

Instantly, an extremely powerful and icy cold energy was blasted at Yang Dingtian’s chest. It was actually going to take Yang Dingtian’s life.

Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, Ice Transformation Art.

Yang Dingtian quickly circulated the Ice Transformation Art to neutralize this powerful icy cold energy. Furthermore, the ice-attribute mystic talisman was devouring the icy cold energy too.

As such, Yang Dingtian was finally able to seize his life back, but he had vomited a few mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Xiangxiang Beila, who was hugging Yang Dingtian from behind, had suddenly cried with anxiety, “Mister, what happened to you? What happened to you?”

Afterward, she used her small hand to rub on Yang Dingtian’s chest and desperately poured her mystic qi inside to treat Yang Dingtian’s injury.

Yang Dingtian gradually opened his eyes while the ashen and ice blue complexion faded. He patted on Xiangxiang Beila’s hand and said, “I am fine.”

“Then let’s go quickly; otherwise, the Elder will really kill you.” Xiangxiang Beila stated.

Ba Bi was very surprised, “Who are you? How can you receive 10% of my force and not die?”

Yang Dingtian didn’t reply to the question and said something else,” Elder Ba Bi, I might be able to save your son.”

“Nonsense!” The old lady Ba Bi said coldly, “Are you thinking to fraud me with the likes of you? My son’s lifespan is already at the end, and it isn’t as though he has any illness. How can you save him?”

Yang Dingtian said, “Whether I can save him or not, wouldn’t you know after I try?”

Suddenly, Elder Ba Bi was in silence.

Three minutes later, old lady Ba Bi said, “You wish to try? Sure, but you have to try with your life. How about it?”

“How so?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Old lady Ba Bi said, “If you can really save my son’s life, no matter what you ask, I will tell you everything I know. If you cannot save him, then you shall die under my palm and be buried with my son. How about it?”

“No way.” Xiangxiang Beila quickly replied.

“Sure!” Yang Dingtian replied straightforwardly.

“No way. Mister Shen, you cannot. We will think about another method for your matter, okay?” Xiangxiang Beila pleaded.

“It is fine.” Yang Dingtian patted on her hand.

At this moment, Ba Bi had already removed the lock on Yang Dingtian. He landed lightly and placed Xiangxiang Beila on the ground and said, “Wait here for me. I will be back soon.”

“No, you cannot go, you cannot go…” Xiangxiang Beila pulled Yang Dingtian’s hand and pleaded.

Yang Dingtian got free from Xiangxiang Beila’s hand and flew into the sky before heading to the gloomy and reclusive temple that was 1,000 meters away.

…

The temple was ice cold within, and there was only one candle flame. It was extremely hideous.

On the bed, there was an old man that was so old that his appearance was abnormal. He was emaciated, and all his skin had wrinkled. Yang Dingtian had never seen such an old man in his life.

He should be the Elder Ba Bi’s son and was already at his dying breath as his life had reached the end.

At the front of the bed, there was a woman wearing a long purple robe. Her back was facing Yang Dingtian, hence, he could only see that she had snow-white hair.

She was already more than 200 years old, and her son was so old, Yang Dingtian wondered how old she would look.

“Now, you can start treating my son.” Ba Bi was still coughing as she spoke, “If you can treat him, I will tell you anything. If you cannot treat him, you shall die…”

“Alright.” Yang Dingtian responded and took out a cup of holy water before walking over and handing it to old lady Ba Bi, “Let your son drink this cup of water, and it will be done.”

Ba Bi abruptly turned around and said in a cold voice, “Do you think I am an idiot? You want to use a cup of water to save my son’s life?”

She suddenly reached out and strangled Yang Dingtian’s neck with lightning speed and was about to crush the neck into pieces.

Her hand was as cold as ice, and when Yang Dingtian’s neck was strangled, he felt that he was getting choked by a ghost.

Her razor-sharp nails pierced into Yang Dingtian’s flesh and caused his neck to be drenched in blood.

Yang Dingtian looked at Ba Bi’s eyes and said indifferently, “I am already betting with my life, why else can I offer? If your son cannot be treated, I am the one who should be worried, Elder…”

Before Yang Dingtian could finish his words, he looked as though he had seen a ghost as he stared at Ba Bi’s face with astonishment and disbelief.

It was an absolutely and devastatingly beautiful face that was celestial-like. She wasn’t inferior to Madam Ximen or his master’s wife. Furthermore, she looked to be around 30 years old.

However, she was already more than 200 years old.

Originally, Yang Dingtian felt that Ba Bi’s son was already so old, she should also be very old. But Yang Dingtian didn’t expect her to be so shockingly gorgeous.

Even her white hair wasn’t able to conceal her beautiful looks.

As for her body, it was still curvaceous and very seductive.

But when Yang Dingtian looked at this absolutely beautiful face and curvaceous body, he didn’t feel attracted. Instead, he had a strange sensation.

If Yang Dingtian didn’t know her age, it was needless to say that she would be a woman that all men would go crazy for. But after knowing her age, everything felt strange.

After seeing Yang Dingtian’s shock, Ba Bi’s face flushed with anger as she said indifferently, “Since his lifespan is already at the end, it doesn’t matter what you give to him. Go on then. Just happen to have one more individual to be buried with my son.”

Afterward, she released Yang Dingtian’s neck.

Yang Dingtian moved closer and gently opened that old man’s mouth before pouring the holy water in his mouth.

Yang Dingtian then held his breath and waited for a reaction.

To be honest, Yang Dingtian didn’t have any confidence. Just as Ba Bi mentioned, this old man wasn’t injured and didn’t suffer from any illness. His lifespan was simply at the end and was about to pass away naturally.

The holy water allowed the victims to make an unexpected recovery and was able to recover severe injuries. But previously, the holy water had only saved people with severe injuries. Thus, Yang Dingtian didn’t know about the effect on people whose lifespan was at the end.

If it failed, Yang Dingtian’s life would end in this place! This Ba Bi was vicious and ruthless; she would definitely do as she mentioned and bury Yang Dingtian with her son.

One minute…

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Five minutes…

***

The dying old man on the bed still didn’t move.

During this period of time, Ba Bi’s beautiful eyes had been staring at her son on the bed. She might have said that she didn’t have any expectations, but how could she not wish for a miracle to happen?

But right now, she was gradually going into despair.

After drinking the cup of water, her son had barely managed to open his eyes, but now, his eyes were already closing, and he wasn’t moving anymore.

Two streams of tears rolled off her cheeks. She was in extreme grief, but there wasn’t any sound of crying.

Her face didn’t grow old, but Yang Dingtian could feel her bearing and aura growing older by dozens of years.

Her delicate body started to shiver slightly as she started a soundless sob.

Five minutes later, she stopped her shivering and faced Yang Dingtian, “Time is up. You shall accompany my son into the ground so that he will not be lonely.”

Finishing her statement, she lifted her hand and placed it above Yang Dingtian’s head and was about to smash down.

Right at this moment, a miracle happened.

The skin of the old man had started to turn florid, and his breaths were getting stronger.

Immediately after, something even more incredible had happened.

He had actually recovered his youth. His originally old skin had started to tighten, and the wrinkles were vanishing.

The body that was originally thin had started to become robust.

Everything was transforming at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Ten minutes later, the miraculous transformation was over.

This old man had turned young by over 100 years. Right now, he was no longer aged and wrinkled. He looked at most 50 years old, and he might still look like an aged person, but he was filled with vitality and strength.

This holy water was truly shocking and simply a divine item.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian was even more confident in curing Yanyan.

Ba Bi was also stunned by everything and was extremely overjoyed, so much that she wasn’t able to react. She wasn’t able to laugh nor cry.

Finally, all the shock and ecstasy had turned into a shout.

“My son…”

She lunged at her son on the bed and hugged him tightly in her embrace.

Her son had yet to awaken and seemed to be still absorbing and digesting the powerful energy of the holy water.

Right now, his complexion was florid, and his breathing was stable. Anybody could see that he had recovered.

Ba Bi had hugged her son for more than ten minutes before standing up.

After turning around, she smiled sweetly at Yang Dingtian and said, “Human, thank you.”

“You are welcome.” Yang Dingtian replied.

From the start, this Ba Bi had always put on a cold and chilly face. Now that she had smiled, it was as though the spring breeze was blowing over and looked as though hundreds of flowers were blossoming. Yang Dingtian was rather overwhelmed.

“Right now, it is time for me to fulfill my promise.” Ba Bi said, “Will you follow me outside?”

Yang Dingtian had let out a breath of relief. This Ba Bi was so formidable, and Yang Dingtian was really afraid she might go back on her words. She might even kill Yang Dingtian and snatch the holy water.

Yang Dingtian walked out of the temple while following behind Ba Bi. But when Yang Dingtian was walking out of the temple, he took a glance at the son and was surprised to find out that the son was actually a human.

***

After exiting the temple, Ba Bi took a deep breath of the outside air and said, “Mister, you may ask. I have only lived for a little over 200 years; so even I do not know everything about the East Parting Grassland. But, as long as it’s within my abilities, I shall help.”

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and asked, “I would like to ask Madam Ba Bi, I heard there is a very strange mountain in the Burial Land. It is half fire and half ice. I have asked many half-human races, but none of them knew about it. I would like to ask if you know about it?”

Before Yang Dingtian finished asking, Ba Bi’s beautiful eyes were staring intently at him, causing Yang Dingtian to feel apprehensive.

Ba Bi was still staring closely at Yang Dingtian’s eyes.

Yang Dingtian felt a powerful pressure that had nearly suffocated him, and he couldn’t help but feel increasingly nervous.

Just as his anxiety was reaching the limit, Ba Bai suddenly replied, “There is such a mountain. Follow me.”

After speaking, she walked leisurely into the temple.

She took out a brush and opened up a piece of cloth and started to draw on it.

She drew it very simply. There were just a few mountains, a few bodies of water and the rest were mostly grasslands.

“This is the rough map of the Burial Land.” Ba Bi pointed at the lake in the center of the map, “This place is where the strange mountain is. It is half fire and half ice.”

Yang Dingtian said, “But this is obviously a lake.”

Ba Bi said, “That’s right; it is a huge lake that is a few dozen miles in size. But it isn’t the right time yet. Once the time is right, a mountain will emerge from the lake. It is over a few thousand feet in height, and it is half fire, half ice. Of course, almost no one knows about this matter. When it happened 200 years ago, there were only two individuals who saw this scene, and I am one of the two individuals.”

“Ah…” Yang Dingtian was utterly astonished, and thought, ‘So this is the case.’

‘But for a huge lake to turn into a mountain, it is also too shocking and unbelievable. Could it be due to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame? If that is the case, isn’t the Mystic Flame’s energy too overwhelming?’

‘No wonder Master said that he never saw such a mountain before, Ji’er and Xiangxiang Beila had also said they never saw such a mountain before.’

‘But why would Ba Bi know? There is another mystery about her. She is already over 200 years old, but why is she still so young and beautiful? Furthermore, her son is actually a human.’

However, Ba Bi didn’t have any reason to explain all these mysteries.

Yang Dingtian carried on asking, “Then when do you think the strange mountain would emerge again?”

Ba Bi replied, “If it is a phenomenon that occurs once every two centuries, it should be in three days. That Yin Yang Mountain will probably emerge from the large lake again.”

“Three days?” Yang Dingtian was shocked. Didn’t this mean that the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would only bloom once every two centuries?

The extreme grade coal-seam fire would only bloom once every decade.

The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would only bloom once every two centuries. It was very reasonable.

“Do you have any other questions?” Ba Bi asked.

Yang Dingtian hesitated before shaking his head, “Nothing else.”

He wasn’t that rash to ask her why she would know a secret that no one else knew, why wouldn’t she age, why was her son a human. It was as if her entire existence was filled with unspeakable secrets. Yang Dingtian wanted to know, but he must not ask. Once he asked, he might not be able to leave anymore.

Of course, even if he didn’t ask these questions, he was still worried if he would be able to leave. Because he possessed the holy water and the Yin Yang Mountain that was half fire, half ice was definitely a secret that no one else knew. Now that Yang Dingtian had asked the question, it was possible that Ba Bi might kill him to silence him.

“If you have no other questions, you may leave.” Ba Bi said.

Yang Dingtian was instantly relieved again by this statement.

“Mother… I, I am fine?” At this moment, a male voice echoed from within. It must be her son, but the voice was much younger.

Furthermore, Yang Dingtian noticed that he wasn’t speaking the Foxman Race’s language but the human language.

“Son, don’t come out, Mother is coming in now.” Ba Bi said.

She then whispered to Yang Dingtian, “Hurry up and leave. Don’t let my son see you.”

After speaking, she actually pushed Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian summoned the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and directly flew into the sky, leaving the temple behind.

Before he left, he heard Ba Bi’s intimate voice saying, “You are mother’s son, how can you possibly die. You still have to accompany the mother for a lifetime.”

The voice was filled with pampering love, making Yang Dingtian’s hair stand on end.

***

Yang Dingtian was flying in the air and saw that Xiangxiang Beila was actually rushing towards Ba Bi’s temple. It was obvious that she couldn’t see Yang Dingtian and was rushing to find him.

Yang Dingtian felt very touched for a moment and quickly swooped down to carry Xiangxiang Beila.

“Mister, you are fine?” Xiangxiang Beila was pleasantly surprised before she hugged Yang Dingtian tightly.

“I am fine.” Yang Dingtian replied and patted on her back gently.

“Did you really cure Grand Elder Ba Bi’s son?” Xiangxiang Beila asked with disbelief.

Yang Dingtian nodded and said, “Yes.”

Xiangxiang Beila’s beautiful eyes had a more concentrated admiration as she spoke with a trembling voice, “Mister, you are really incredible.”

Yang Dingtian was a little embarrassed by her eyes and quickly averted his gaze.

Xiangxiang Beila was also bashful and quickly averted her gaze too, “Mister, did you find out what you wanted to know?”

“I found out.” Yang Dingtian replied.
