Unsealing

On the other side, Lin Xiao, whose house-digging work was nearing completion, suddenly heard Liao Pantu, through his Soul-Nourishing Pendant, urgently transmit a message to him:

"Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao! Hurry, hurry, hurry and find my soul! Don't dig up these leftover scraps! Hurry, hurry, this way!"

As he spoke, a semi-transparent hand emerged from his robes, curving towards his right rear.

"Oh, okay." Seeing how anxious he was, Lin Xiao didn't waste any time and immediately stopped what he was doing and rushed in the direction he pointed.

While traveling, he telepathically inquired of Liao Pantu:

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you weren't in a hurry? Why are you suddenly acting like your pants are on fire?"

"Oh dear! The reason I told you not to rush was because my soul is sealed by my nemesis. If you break the seal too soon, what if my nemesis senses it and tries to ambush people at the exit of this secret realm?"

"Then why are you in such a hurry again?"

Liao Pantu said:

"A little girl just discovered the location of that part of my soul, but it's hidden in an ice coffin. I locked it tightly, and she couldn't open it, so she hasn't found it yet. But she suddenly ran out to find someone to help her!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was somewhat puzzled.

"So what if they find out? They won't do anything to you for no reason, will they?"

Liao Pantu was furious and shouted:

"What do you mean 'nothing will happen to me for no reason'? Don't you think about it? There's no way out of this ice cave. If these cultivators trapped here haven't found a way out after fifteen days, and I'm the only soul still here, do you think they'll think I'm the key to getting out? They certainly won't believe that I don't know how to get out either!"

Then I'll inevitably face being targeted by everyone! There are at least dozens, if not hundreds, of cultivators trapped here, right? But my part of my soul is only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage; how could I possibly be a match for so many people!

Hearing his explanation, Lin Xiao suddenly understood. Thinking about it, it made sense. If they really couldn't find a way out, then everyone would likely think that Senior Liao was the key to getting out.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but increase his speed by two points, heading at full speed towards the direction where Senior Liao's soul was located.

When they rushed to the entrance of the cave, Yuan Zhiyun, who had gone out to search for someone, was still nowhere to be seen.

Lin Xiao dared not delay and immediately descended into the underground cave. He saw that in the open cave, where torches were lit, the lid of the ice coffin in the center was wide open. The soul body inside was exactly the same as that of Senior Liao in the Soul Nourishing Pendant, only with a higher concentration of soul body. It was sitting upright with its eyes closed, waiting for their arrival.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao looked around, but he couldn't see where the so-called seal was either, so he had no choice but to ask:

"Senior, where is the seal? Should we break the seal first, or should you Body Integration first?"

Then, the Soul-Nourishing Pendant in his arms floated out. Liao Pantu emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Pendant and said to Lin Xiao:

"Sealed within my soul, it has firmly locked me to this place, fixing me in this awful spot, allowing me to barely move within a radius of about ten feet."

Where's that unsealing talisman you made the other day? Take it out quickly. Use it when I merge souls in a bit. During the soul merging, a very powerful soul energy field will erupt for a moment. I'll exert force from the inside, and you can use the unsealing talisman from the outside. The combined effect should be enough to break the seal. Remember, the soul energy field eruption during the soul merging only lasts for a split second, so you have to be quick! If you miss the eruption, even a high-level unsealing talisman might not be able to break the seal!

They had discussed Lin Xiao's unsealing talisman at an inn in Yuanling City a few days ago.

At that moment, Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea: if he used the system's Item Synthesizer and Spirit Stone, he wondered if he could directly synthesize something of a higher level.

Then he asked Liao Pantu if he had any talismans or formations to unseal the seal.

Liao Pantu then told Lin Xiao to leave, and then took out an unsealing talisman from his own soul and gave it to him.

This unsealing talisman looks like an ordinary talisman, nothing special, and doesn't seem powerful at all.

According to Liao Pantu, this kind of unsealing talisman is not a high-level talisman, and it is impossible to unseal Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

So Lin Xiao took the unsealing talisman and fifty Spirit Stone, and used the Item Synthesizer to create an unsealing talisman that shimmered with golden light.

When Liao Pantu saw Lin Xiao suddenly pull out a glittering golden unsealing talisman, he could hardly believe it.

It wasn't that he couldn't believe such a high-level unsealing talisman would appear, but rather that he couldn't believe Lin Xiao had so easily turned an ordinary unsealing talisman into a high-level one!

And it only cost fifty Spirit Stone!

You should know that many high-level talismans with special functions are extremely rare and hard to find, even at the cost of thousands of gold coins (Spirit Stone)!

There are plenty of people willing to pay, but there also needs to be someone willing to sell!

Therefore, Liao Pantu felt more and more that his choice to join the Lingxian Sect was absolutely correct.

He didn't think these functional items were that important before, so although he would buy them with Spirit Stone if he came across them, he wouldn't specifically seek them out.

Moreover, he only liked alchemy and wasn't very interested in anything else.

Therefore, he himself did not possess many of these things.

Most importantly, these two soul bodies contain relatively low-level items; the good stuff is mostly in the larger soul body.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Upon hearing Liao Pantu's words, Lin Xiao quickly took out an unsealing talisman from his private treasury.

Liao Pantu pointed to the area between his eyebrows in the ice coffin, indicating that he would use the unsealing talisman there in a moment. He then nodded to him, detached himself from the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, and floated toward the part of his soul in the ice coffin.

The Soul -Soul-Nourishing Pendant, now devoid of its soul, fell to the ground with a 'thud,' but neither of them had time to pay it any attention.

Lin Xiao held the unsealing talisman and stared intently at Liao Pantu. The moment he saw Liao Pantu's Qi Refining Stage soul body touch and merge with his Foundation Establishment Realm soul body, he immediately infused the unsealing talisman with Spiritual Power and slapped it against Liao Pantu's forehead!

The next instant, an invisible yet clearly perceptible ripple of soul energy spread throughout the Lin Xiao.

He felt his mind go blank for a moment, and then his entire soul seemed to be cleansed.

Immediately afterwards, he felt as if darkness had suddenly descended upon him. Then he saw something shaken out of Senior Liao's soul in the ice coffin, shattering into pieces in the blink of an eye and vanishing into the dark void.

The next moment, Lin Xiao emerged from the darkness, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Liao Pantu, inside the ice coffin, was looking at him with a satisfied smile.
