"Sister Lingyue, all the medicinal materials have been put into the medicine furnace."
Xu Taiping turned to look at Fairy Lingyue with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Well done. Now you just need to keep the fire warm. After half an hour, the elixir will be ready."
Fairy Lingyue immediately regained her composure and nodded to Xu Taiping with a smile.
"If you can't recognize your apprentice, it's not bad if you can recognize a well-behaved younger brother."
Looking at Xu Taiping who was meticulously guarding the fire according to her own requirements, Fairy Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile.
…
Half an hour later.
"boom……"
Xu Taiping stood on tiptoes and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace with both hands. A wave of heat rose up from the furnace and turned into a white mist that filled the backyard.
"Sister Lingyue, two Cheng Dan!"
Under the moonlight, Xu Taiping was pleasantly surprised to find two vermilion pills with a warm and jade-like color lying there quietly among several black pill residues.
"It actually turned into two pills?"
Fairy Lingyue also had a look of surprise on her face.
Although she rarely refines such low-level elixirs, according to her experience, given the quality of the medicinal materials Xu Taiping bought, it would be good to be able to turn one elixir into one.
"It seems that the little guy is really talented in alchemy. The secret techniques in the sect cannot be taught to him for the time being, but some of the alchemy recipes are still fine. What's more, if I want to restore my cultivation, I will also need the help of an alchemist."
She secretly made up her mind to train Xu Taiping to become an alchemist in the future.
"Sister Lingyue, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Fairy Lingyue was distracted, Xu Taiping immediately called her softly.
"Oh, I think you can keep the remaining Qi Gathering Pill to deal with the tiger demon."
Fairy Lingyue lowered her head and glanced at the two Qi Gathering Pills in Xu Taiping's hand.
"Can the Qi Gathering Pill be used to deal with the tiger demon?"
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
"The Qi Gathering Pill can provide you with huge spiritual power in a short period of time. When it is converted into true energy, it is equivalent to having an extra Dantian, allowing you to perform some spells beyond your current realm, such as …”
After explaining this, Fairy Lingyue looked up at the moon and tried to think about it. Then she looked down at Xu Taiping and said: "For example, it can be used in conjunction with your Canxia Technique. As usual, it can only be used by those who are in the Great Stage of the Open Door Realm. This Ice Technique The breath technique is to exhale and turn into ice. Even with your current level of cultivation, as long as you cooperate with the Qi Gathering Pill, you can freeze everything in an area of more than ten feet square in one breath."
"Including the tiger demon?"
Xu Taiping asked excitedly.
"Although this Ice Breath Technique is not a secret technique, in your practice world, as long as you don't take precautions in advance, even opponents who are one level above you will still fall prey to it."
Fairy Lingyue nodded with certainty.
"Sister Lingyue, when I break through the door-opening realm, please teach me the Ice Breath Technique!"
Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue with shining eyes.
"Of course I'm willing to teach you if you're willing to learn it. Don't forget, you and I are partners now."
Fairy Lingyue touched Xu Taiping's little head and smiled lightly at him.
In her original practice world, this Ice Breath Technique was barely considered a Xuan-level spell. She liked to use some casual cultivators the most. Most of the sect disciples had better choices, not to mention the sect she was in, so there was no need to worry. This would expose her identity.
…
After another moment.
Xu Taiping returned to the bedroom, preparing to break through the door-opening realm.
The remnant soul of Fairy Lingyue was also in the room at this moment.
"Xiao Taiping, relax a little. You have two Qi Gathering Pills in your hand now. It's impossible to break through the Open Door Realm."
Fairy Lingyue saw that Xu Taiping looked tense, so she smiled and told him to relax and not be so nervous.
"Um."
Xu Taiping nodded heavily, then closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Sister Lingyue, I'm ready."
Xu Taiping opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Lingyue.
"Then take the Qi Gathering Pill to break through."
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
She saw that Xu Taiping's expression was obviously much more relaxed at this time, and she felt greatly relieved.
"Gulong..."
Xu Taiping didn't hesitate anymore, stuffed the Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth and swallowed it directly.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and Xu Taiping didn't even have time to feel what it felt like. He only felt a light and elegant fragrance spreading in his body and then coming out along his nostrils.
"Buzz buzz..."
And when Xu Taiping started to use the Canxia Gong, there was a buzzing in his ears, and the power of the Qi Gathering Pill suddenly took effect. The surging spiritual power was guided by the Canxia Gong, and was extremely quickly transformed into the Canxia Gong. Xia Zhenqi, like the rushing river, surged into the meridians throughout his body, violently impacting various acupoints.
Several acupuncture points that originally required him to expend a lot of energy to be opened were opened by him in just a few breaths this time.
"The first step to break through the door-opening realm is to push all the acupoints all over the body. The second step is to use the Canxia Gong to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body through the acupoints all over the body. Finally, it gathers in the Dantian and pushes the wall of the Dantian away, allowing Dantian turns into a sea of qi.”
While Xu Taiping was running the Canxia Gong with all his strength, he silently meditated on the key points of breaking through the Open Door Realm taught by True Lord Ziyang that day, how to turn a small Dantian like a fish pond into a sea of Qi.
If you can't do this, your greatest achievement throughout your life will be to be a warrior who only knows how to fight with fists and feet.
"boom!"
With this in mind, Xu Taiping did not hesitate to mobilize the true energy guided from the acupoints all over his body, and began to make the first impact on the small Dantian. Canxia's body-protecting true energy spread from his body without any warning.
"Well!……"
But what followed was a heart-piercing pain. Xu Taiping felt that his scalp was being torn off piece by piece, which was several times more painful than when he soaked in the marrow soup that day.
Even someone with a strong temperament like him was eventually defeated by this pain, and the huge amount of Qi that he had finally gathered turned into clouds of smoke and dissipated.
"Xu Taiping, this is the price of cultivating mortal bones. If you can't bear this little hardship, I think you should give up as soon as possible!"
Fairy Lingyue deliberately provoked Xu Taiping.
How could she not know the pain Xu Taiping was facing at this moment?
But she understands better how cruel this heaven is to mortal bones. Even if you embark on the path of cultivation, as long as you are a little bit relaxed and timid in the future, you will face a hundred times the pain of today.
So in her opinion, even if Xu Taiping failed to break through, he would never give in to the pain.
But her worries were obviously unnecessary.
After Xu Taiping failed in his first attempt to break through, he immediately started his second attempt.
He endured the pain that had not completely dissipated, and continued to mobilize the Qi from various acupoints, calmly and skillfully. In the eyes of Fairy Lingyue on the side, Xu Taiping at this moment did not look like a ten-year-old at all. How old are the children.
