This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Li Daoxuan looked curiously at the ferocious beast soul in his palm and asked:

"Miss Bai, what exactly is this thing? It looks..."

At this point, Li Daoxuan looked up at Bai Susu, but hesitated to say the rest.

Bai Susu snapped out of her daze, suppressed the feeling of helplessness in her heart, and said with a bitter smile:

"Is the Taoist priest trying to say that this thing looks like my... ancestor?"

Li Daoxuan smiled awkwardly and nodded:

"That's right. Judging from the cause and effect, it seems that you and your master both have the same energy lineage passed down to you."

Bai Susu smiled, but instead of immediately answering Li Daoxuan's question, she stepped aside and asked:

"Master, you've come from afar, please come to my humble abode for a cup of tea..."

Li Daoxuan did not refuse. He took out a spirit crystal and casually sealed the beast soul inside before following Bai Susu into her residence.

As the Holy Maiden of the Beast Taming Sect, she naturally possessed a noble status.

However, Bai Susu's living quarters were exceptionally simple.

Just like her, she was dressed in white without any adornment.

The only things that stood out in the courtyard were those few plants of medicinal quality.

Bai Susu invited Li Daoxuan to sit down in the courtyard, and then went inside.

Not long after, Bai Susu came out carrying a tea tray and poured Li Daoxuan a cup of tea.

She never looked at Li Daoxuan again from beginning to end.

Li Daoxuan's gaze remained fixed on Bai Susu.

For some reason, Bai Susu seemed a little different at this moment.

From the moment they met today until now, Li Daoxuan has clearly noticed the changes in Bai Susu's emotions.

From initial surprise and anticipation to current disappointment.

Li Daoxuan didn't know why Bai Susu had changed so much, but he knew that from now on, this woman seemed to no longer have those romantic feelings for him.

Li Daoxuan sighed softly in his heart. It was for the best, after all, he was destined to be a person with no future.

After finishing a cup of tea, Bai Susu slowly spoke.

"The Taoist priest is right. This beast soul is called Jiuying, and it is an ancient and strange beast."

"Back then, my Beast Taming Sect's ancestor was just an ordinary martial artist. By chance, he encountered the Nine-Headed Serpent, who had just awakened from his slumber and was severely injured."

"In order to gain greater power, our ancestors used the blood of the Nine-Headed Serpent to enhance their cultivation."

"Finally, he created the method of beast taming and founded the Beast Taming Sect."

"But the ancient beasts are immortal and indestructible. Their souls remained in the bloodline of our ancestors along with their essence blood, and because of their resentment, their souls became ferocious and ruthless."

"For thousands of years afterward, whenever an outstanding disciple appeared in the sect, the beast soul would invade the disciple's physical body and soul along with the inheritance of the Dharma lineage, trying to be reborn through this."

"The elders in the sect have developed a sealing technique that can temporarily seal away beast souls."

"Since then, the Nine-Headed Serpent Soul has become an inescapable worry for our Beast Taming Sect. But in a sense, it has also made the Beast Taming Sect what it is today. Whenever the sect is in danger, we can rely on the power of the Nine-Headed Serpent Soul to overcome the crisis."

"That's how this thing came to be."

Bai Susu told Li Daoxuan about the origin of the beast soul without reservation.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but sigh, realizing that there was such a complex web of cause and effect involved.

He took out the spirit crystal that sealed the Nine-Headed Serpent's soul and handed it directly to Bai Susu.

"You can decide how to deal with this thing. If you want to completely eliminate it, I do have a way."

Li Daoxuan was not exaggerating. He could freely manipulate the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang. In this Xuanhuang universe, all existence was born from the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang, and this ancient beast was no exception.

As long as it is put into the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron and refined with the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, the beast soul will naturally vanish.

However, Bai Susu shook her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and said:

"Never mind, no matter what, most of the credit for my Beast Taming Sect becoming a holy sect comes from it."

"If possible, I hope that the Taoist priest can dispel its malevolent aura, return it to the world, and one day it will be able to reappear in the world."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan fell into deep thought.

An idea slowly formed in my mind.

laughed:

"I'll give it a try..."

Bai Susu nodded gently and smiled:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Taoist priest."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand without saying a word.

With a thought, the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron appeared in mid-air.

I felt so insignificant, with the heavens above me...

Seeing the primordial energy swirling around the cauldron, Bai Susu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but blurt out:

"The Great Dao Emperor Weapon..."

She turned sharply to look at Li Daoxuan, and exclaimed in horror:

"You...you've cultivated to the level of an Emperor?"

As everyone knows, only the Great Emperor can forge the Great Dao Emperor Weapon.

Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head.

"How magnificent is the Great Emperor? How could he be so easily attained?"

Bai Susu, puzzled, pointed to the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron and said:

"Then this..."

Li Daoxuan did not offer much explanation.

"It was just a coincidence..."

With that, he opened the Xuanhuang Cauldron with a thought.

The spirit crystal that sealed the beast's soul was thrown in, and the Xuanhuang Mother Qi enveloped it. The spirit crystal was instantly refined, revealing the beast's soul inside.

The Nine-Headed Serpent's soul sensed the danger and began to roar wildly, trying to break free.

But even the Nine-Headed Serpent in its prime could never escape the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron now, let alone when it only has its beast soul left.

Of course, Li Daoxuan did not intend to refine it, but rather to use the Xuanhuang Mother Qi to dispel its fierce and malevolent aura.

"Nine-Headed Serpent, you are an ancient and primordial beast born of nature. As long as your beast soul remains, you will still have the chance to be reborn."

"I am giving you a chance to let go of your obsessions. I will help you return to your original nature and be reborn."

Li Daoxuan's voice entered the Xuanhuang Cauldron, but Jiuying did not improve after hearing it; instead, it became even more violent.

These ancient and exotic beasts are all extremely arrogant beings; making them bow their heads is harder than climbing to heaven.

Li Daoxuan didn't expect to persuade it with just a few words; he simply explained how to deal with it.

With both hands guiding the pure Taoist spiritual power into the Xuanhuang Cauldron, Li Daoxuan began to chant the Purification Mantra.

Again and again, continuously adding blessings.

The malevolent aura emanating from Jiuying visibly dissipated under the influence of the divine incantation.

The violent emotions gradually calmed down.

Finally, the ancient beast slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Li Daoxuan also stopped, turned to look at Bai Susu, and said gently:

"Miss Bai, may I borrow a drop of your essence blood?"

Without hesitation, Bai Susu forced out a drop of her essence blood and sent it over.

Li Daoxuan struck it into the Xuanhuang Cauldron, where it transformed into a rune that landed on the forehead of the Nine-Headed Beast Soul.

In an instant, Bai Susu suddenly felt something was amiss.

She seemed to sense the suppressed resentment in Jiuying's heart.

Bai Susu exclaimed in surprise:

"Telepathic connection? This..."

The highest level of beast taming is to have a spiritual connection with your natal spirit beast, so that you can cooperate with it with just a thought, without needing to communicate.

Unexpectedly, Li Daoxuan accomplished this with just a single talisman.

Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and the Xuanhuang Cauldron quickly shrank and returned to his palm.

Just as Bai Susu was surprised, Li Daoxuan suddenly handed her this treasure.

Bai Susu was taken aback and asked in confusion:

"What...does this mean?"

Li Daoxuan said gently:

"The malevolent energy in Jiuying's heart has only been initially refined. It will take some time to completely return it to its original state and reshape its physical body."

"I will entrust this cauldron to you. I will also pass on to you a Taoist mantra. You should recite the mantra for it once each morning, noon and evening to purify your mind. This will not only deepen the connection between you, but also help it escape from suffering as soon as possible."

"It will take you seven or eight years, or at most twenty years, to acquire your third natal spirit beast."

As Bai looked at the Xuanhuang Cauldron in Li Daoxuan's hand, her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Such a treasure, and he handed it over to me so easily?

"Don't worry, Miss Bai, the Xuanhuang Cauldron will return to me after the Nine-Headed Serpent is born."

"But you must remember, what can truly purify Jiuying's heart is not the power of the divine incantation, but your heart and your sincerity."

Bai Susu blushed slightly, lowered her head, and dared not look at Li Daoxuan. She could only hurriedly accept the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

"Thank you, Taoist priest."

Li Daoxuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he cupped his hands and said:

"This matter is now settled, and I have fulfilled my promise."

"Miss Bai, until we meet again..."

Bai Susu slowly raised her head, looked deeply at Li Daoxuan, her eyes filled with indescribable emotions, and then smiled faintly.

"Okay, until we meet again..."
