Both sentences are correct, but they mean different things.
'Take advice of' (with no article before 'advice') is slightly old-fashioned British English meaning 'seek the opinion of'. One might, when faced with a difficult business situation, decide to take advice of a lawyer.
"Take advice from" means "willingly accept and act on advice from" someone.
