Mortal Bones

Although Xu Taiping heard about the "Red Crow Golden Flame Technique" for the first time and was not sure about its specific power, he still knew how rare the heaven-level technique was.

Take Qingxuan Sect as an example. You can count the heaven-level skills possessed by each peak on your fingers.

"A slightly better real fire tempering method is at least a heaven-level method."

Fairy Lingyue said with a faint smile.

Seeing Fairy Lingyue speaking so lightly, Xu Taiping couldn't help but guess in his heart:

"Is it possible that there are techniques above the heaven level?"

But he just muttered something in his mind and did not say it out loud.

According to his understanding of Sister Lingyue, if she doesn't want to mention it, it must be because it's not time for him to get in touch with her.

"But it's not that easy to practice the Red Crow Golden Flame Technique. You also have to practice the Shadow Splitting Technique and the Fire Finger. The days ahead may not be easy."

At this time, Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again.

“It doesn’t matter how hard it is!”

Xu Taiping shook his head vigorously with excitement.

Rather than working hard, he is more afraid of not having the motivation and goals to move forward. Now that there are so many things to do, it is not too late to be happy.

"Then for the next three months, you can practice with peace of mind. Firstly, you can get used to the aura of heaven and earth on this mountain, and secondly, you can prepare for the experience of going down the mountain."

Fairy Lingyue smiled and nodded.

"As for the more than ten acres of fairy fields and medicinal gardens on the mountain, leave them to me, sister."

she continued.

Xu Taiping's energy had a strange appeal that made Fairy Lingyue want to find more things to do.

"Then I'll trouble Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping did not give in, but solemnly thanked him.

…

Mugu Mountain.

Qiyuexuan.

One morning more than two months later.

"That silly bird, don't be lazy. You must catch all the bugs in this field before tonight."

"Xiao Ping An, don't help it, come over and eat the grapes."

"What are you looking at? Don't even think about getting into the gourd tonight!"

In the medicine garden where the fairy mist curls up, the spirit body of Fairy Lingyue is lying lazily on a recliner. One hand is holding a bunch of grapes in the air, and the other hand is pointing towards the person who is catching insects in the medicine garden. Bai Yu pointed.

"You witch, why should I catch insects and eat grapes in peace?"

Bai Yu was so angry that all the feathers on his chest exploded.

"Just because you peeked at me sleeping in the gourd last night."

Lingyue rolled her eyes at Bai Yu.

Then she raised her head and sucked on the bunch of grapes, sucking all the real energy in the grapes, leaving only a bunch of shriveled grape skins.

"I...I...I didn't!"

Although Bai Yu was still quibbling, his tone of voice obviously became a little less confident. After he finished speaking, he began to peck at worms and no longer thought about eating grapes.

"Sister, look, I'm picking plums for you."

At this time, the little monkey Ping An came to Fairy Lingyue holding a handful of plums.

"Xiao Ping'an, you are still the best, unlike that stupid bird who has filth in his mind all day long."

Fairy Lingyue patted the little monkey Ping An's head from the air.

Bai Yu gritted his teeth again when he heard this.

But Fairy Lingyue only glared at it from afar, and then went to peck at the bug obediently.

Bai Yu learned about the existence of Fairy Lingyue two months ago.

At that time, Xu Taiping was preparing to retreat, and the medicine garden was short of manpower, so Fairy Lingyue simply stopped hiding her identity from Bai Yu.

It was also from then on that Bai Yu's tragic life began.

"Sister, Taiping hasn't been out for a long time."

The little monkey asked Fairy Lingyue while stuffing grapes into his mouth.

"Don't worry, if you don't come out today, you will definitely come out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Fairy Lingyue smiled.

According to the agreement between her and Xu Taiping, no matter how the practice progresses, she must leave seclusion more than ten days before the training mission deadline.

"Um?"

But just after saying this, Fairy Lingyue's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

She just sensed Xu Taiping's aura.

"Sister Lingyue, Ping An, Bai Yu."

Just as the little monkey was complaining to Fairy Lingyue that he hadn't eaten the food cooked by Xu Taiping for a long time, Xu Taiping's voice suddenly came from the direction of the stone building, his voice was clean and transparent.

"Taiping, you finally came out!"

Before the little monkey could react, he saw the white feather wings trembling and flying towards the stone building like an arrow from the string.

"Xu Taiping, you have to make the decision for me, that witch will abuse me!"

Bai Yu's miserable cries echoed over Qiyuexuan.

"Ah, Bai Yu, flying so fast, obviously, just now, he said he had no strength."

The little monkey swallowed a bunch of grapes and looked in the direction of Shilou with a surprised look on his face.

"Well, it seems that we still need to arrange more work for him."

Fairy Lingyue nodded thoughtfully.

…

Qiyuexuan, in front of the stone building in the backyard.

"Xu Taiping, she's here!"

Bai Yu, standing on Xu Taiping's shoulder, reminded Xu Taiping in a low voice.

Then, Xu Taiping saw the spirit body of Fairy Lingyue and came to the courtyard with the little monkey.

"Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping smiled and walked towards Fairy Lingyue.

"Xu Taiping, didn't you promise me that you would talk to her carefully?"

Bai Yu was anxious.

"Bai Yu, it's time for you to go back to Hulu to practice."

Fairy Lingyue held up her green gourd in the air.

"I don't!"

Bai Yu flew to the roof.

"Why, do you think you can kill the Peacock King?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at Bai Yu calmly.

Bai Yu trembled when he heard this.

Then he went into the green gourd without saying anything, but before he went in, he threw a sentence - "Xu Taiping, I want to eat roasted yellow sheep tonight!"

Xu Taiping was a little amused, but he finally agreed: "Okay, you practice well, I will make it for you."

"Xu Taiping, I don't want to eat meat, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

The little monkey jumped onto Xu Taiping's shoulder.

"Well, I'll make it for you too."

Xu Taiping patted the little monkey's head gently.

The little monkey then laughed.

"How is it, is there any progress in this more than two months of retreat?"

Fairy Lingyue asked Xu Taiping with her arms around her chest and a smile.

"My cultivation progress is still not great, but the spiritual energy on this mountain is indeed much more abundant. Even without the dragon gall wine, my cultivation speed is already comparable to that of the white bones, and I have already adapted to the medicinal power of a cup of dragon gall wine. Next, I can try to take two cups of dragon gall wine. By then, the speed should be able to catch up with or even exceed the black spirit bone."

Xu Taiping thought about it for a while, and then answered seriously.

His cultivation growth rate has always been very slow. When he was at the foot of the mountain, he was able to grow faster than others. First, he soaked in the bone-washing and marrow-removing soup regularly, second, he meditated and practiced almost every day, and finally, the dragon gall wine.
