"Not bad. The most important thing for you now is to adapt to the medicinal power of gentian wine. When you can drink a pot of it in one go, your cultivation speed will be able to keep up with the Heavenly Spiritual Bone."
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
"I'll try my best, but currently two cups is the limit. I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear any more."
Xu Taiping raised a hand as he spoke.
I saw wounds on the exposed parts of his arms that looked like cracks in porcelain.
After hearing this, Fairy Lingyue frowned with some distress.
But she did not comfort Xu Taiping, because she knew that any comfort would be a sacrilege to Xu Taiping's efforts.
"After this trial mission is completed, I will teach you the Human Emperor's body-building method. By then, the damage done by the gentian wine to your body will be much less severe."
Fairy Lingyue said.
"Um."
When it came to practicing martial arts, Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up again.
"How are you practicing the improved Shadow Technique and Fire Finger?"
Fairy Lingyue asked again.
The corner of Xu Taiping's mouth slightly raised when he heard this, and then he saw him take a step forward, followed by a "boom" sound all around him and a ball of true energy exploded.
Then he saw a shadow that looked exactly like him appearing beside him.
"Although I can't control it freely yet, I can barely make this clone move back and forth under my control."
As Xu Taiping spoke, he controlled the clone and stood in front of Fairy Lingyue.
"It's great that we can make such progress in just two months."
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
Next, Xu Taiping showed Fairy Lingyue the progress of the Fire Finger practice.
At this time, he has been able to convert the true essence into the fire element and condense it on his fingertips, and then pop it out quickly with the force of his fingers. However, he is not yet able to continuously pop out the fire element, and can only pop out once in more than ten breaths. refer to.
"However, the progress of the Chiwu Golden Flame Technique is slower. Although it can condense a little golden flame in the palm of the hand, it can only last for one or two breaths before it will automatically extinguish."
Xu Taiping raised his hand with some regret.
Then Fairy Lingyue saw a very dazzling golden flame appear in Xu Taiping's palm.
But now that Lingyue saw this scene, instead of being disappointed, she had a look of surprise on her face.
"It only takes two months to condense the golden flame. Your speed of improvement is not too slow."
she said happily.
"Really? I'm still worried about whether it's too slow."
Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed to be praised by Fairy Lingyue.
"grumble……"
After Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue chatted for a few more words, the sound of a crane suddenly came from the door of the front yard.
"Qiyue Xuan Xu Taiping, the items you purchased have been delivered."
Linghe's voice sounded immediately.
"It should be that the alchemy furnace and knife you bought have arrived."
Fairy Lingyue said as she flew into the green gourd.
"I gonna go see."
Xu Taiping picked up the green gourd and walked quickly towards the front yard.
…
A well-cast dark iron sword, a magic weapon and a pill furnace, and several medicinal materials needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.
This is all Xu Taiping bought.
"It's not bad among ordinary weapons."
After Xu Taiping pulled out the long knife, Fairy Lingyue commented.
It was a good sound to hear from Fairy Lingyue, and Xu Taiping was already very satisfied.
"Senior Brother Qingxiao helped me choose this knife. It's called a Tiger Pattern Knife. It's named because the pattern on the blade resembles a tiger pattern. I heard that it was cast by Elder Ouyang of Sifeng himself. Although the price is not high, it's because Elder Ouyang The furnace is only opened once a year in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so it is still hard to find. I was able to buy it thanks to a favor owed by Elder Ouyang to Senior Brother Qingxiao."
Xu Taiping briefly introduced the origin of this sword to Fairy Lingyue.
"Harutora, twenty-one."
Fairy Lingyue glanced at the name on the sword, then smiled and said:
"Looking at the name, your sword should be the twenty-first time Elder Ouyang forged it in spring, right? It's quite interesting for this old man to name the sword like this. If it was made in the summer, wouldn't it be called Xia Hu? ?”
Xu Taiping also smiled when he heard this, feeling that although the name was not that elegant, it sounded very kind.
"Senior Brother Qingxiao of yours has a very good vision. This sword is very suitable for you at present."
After Fairy Lingyue sensed the spring tiger with her soul, she nodded appreciatively.
To be precise, this sword is very suitable for a martial artist.
"I also think it's very handy."
Xu Taiping pulled out the knife, waved it in his hand, and nodded.
He was also very satisfied with this tiger-striped knife.
"This alchemy furnace is a bit ordinary. It can barely make seven or eight furnaces of elixirs."
At this time, Fairy Lingyue set her sights on the alchemy furnace again.
"The price of a better alchemy furnace is upwards of 30,000 merits. I can only use this first to meet emergencies."
Xu Taiping was not very satisfied with this pill furnace either.
But there was no other way. Before going down the mountain, he had to refine several furnaces of Qi Gathering Pills to prepare for emergencies after going down the mountain.
"A good alchemy furnace is indeed rare, but I want to remind you that the Suihuo Pill required to break through the Tongxuan Realm in the form of mortal bones must be refined with at least a magic weapon-level alchemy furnace."
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
"I understand this. After this experience is over, I will find ways to earn more merit to purchase the materials needed for the alchemy furnace and Suihuo Dan."
Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
Although he still has a long way to go before he can break through the Tongxuan Realm, neither the materials needed for the Suihuo Pill nor the magic weapon-level pill furnace can be obtained easily, so he has to start preparing now.
"It's good to be prepared. Based on your current cultivation progress, even with the help of gentian wine, it will take at least five or six years to break through to the Tongxuan realm. You have enough time to prepare."
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
"Sister Lingyue, we are going to start refining the Qi Gathering Pill tonight."
Xu Taiping held up the pill furnace and looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile.
"You have just come out of seclusion, why don't you take a night's rest?"
Fairy Lingyue frowned.
"No, if I can refine this Qi Gathering Pill tonight, I can leave for the mountain the day after tomorrow. If I go there earlier, I can make preparations earlier."
Xu Taiping shook his head.
Although it was just a trial mission, it was still his first mission after becoming an official disciple, and he didn't want to rush into it.
"Then come back early and continue practicing."
He added with a smile.
Fairy Lingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this. She felt that the aura of martial arts and Taoism in this boy was getting stronger and stronger.
…
The next evening.
The seventh peak, Dengyuntai.
This is the starting point for all Seventh Peak disciples when they go down the mountain.
"Taiping, it's still too late to go two days later."
Hearing that Xu Taiping was going down the mountain, Zhao Linglong rushed over in a hurry.
