Mortal Bones

After choosing his martial arts skills, Xu Taiping spent ten more merit coins to buy a fine steel wild goose feather knife, an ox horn hardwood bow, and more than a hundred arrows.

"Lord Xuanjing, I have chosen everything."

In fact, Xu Taiping also wanted to buy a martial arts skill based on body movements, but the price of the lowest level martial arts skills was upwards of 300 merit coins, and he really couldn't afford it.

"The goods have been selected and will not be returned. Tomorrow at noon, a spiritual bird will deliver these items to Qingzhu Residence. Please prepare the merit coins."

Jing Ling's cold voice sounded again.

"Thank you, Lord Xuanjing."

Xu Taiping bowed his hands in front of the bronze mirror respectfully.

…

It's the You hour on this day.

Qingzhuju.

In the quiet courtyard, the warm afternoon sunlight shone in through the window, hitting Xu Taiping's sweaty cheeks.

At this time, Xu Taiping had his eyes closed and he was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Wisps of lead-colored mist spilled out from around him, and finally gathered towards the top of his head.

At this time, Xu Taiping had completely forgotten about things and myself, with only the word "cultivation" in his mind.

According to the instructions of Zhenjun Ziyang, practicing at the three hours of Zi, Wu, and You every day can often get twice the result with half the effort, so every time at this time, Xu Taiping would lock the door of the courtyard and practice cross-legged exercises.

"boom……"

At this moment, a sound of Qi exploding suddenly came from Xu Taiping's body.

The lead-colored mist around him suddenly dispersed, and immediately, wisps of pure white snow-like mist rose from Xu Taiping's body and gathered above his head again.

If there are any monks who have practiced the "Remnant Clouds Technique" present, they will definitely be able to recognize the scene just now, because this scene is the symbol of the monks in the "Remnant Clouds Technique" breaking through from the condensation stage to the defrosting stage - washing everything. Lead China.

After a while, Xu Taiping opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

Even he himself did not expect that he would break through the condensation period and enter the defrost stage today, because according to Zhenjun Ziyang, it would take at least ten days for him to break through the condensation period and enter the defrost stage.

"Could it be that I used Canxia Qi when fighting the demon wolf, which caused my breakthrough speed to increase?"

Xu Taiping guessed in his heart.

"Qingzhuju Xu Taiping can be in the courtyard."

Before he could think about this issue carefully, a voice that Xu Taiping was very familiar with suddenly sounded outside the house - Bald Eagle, Bai Hong.

"Little guy, your things have arrived."

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Xu Taiping saw the spiritual bird Bai Hong squatting at the door of his hospital, with a large wooden box with a seal placed in front of it.

"Uncle Bai is here for you."

Xu Taiping thanked him happily and then walked forward quickly.

"Little guy, it's not easy to earn some merit. At the end of the year, you have to pay the customary fee to Xifeng Pavilion. Save as much as you can."

Bai Hong kindly reminded Xu Taiping.

"Uncle Bai, don't worry, Taiping is measured. These are some weapons and martial arts for self-defense."

Bai Hong's kindness made Xu Taiping feel very warm.

"Just use your own discretion."

Bai Hong nodded.

After yesterday's purchase of demon wolf flesh and bones, its favorable impression of Xu Taiping increased a lot and it no longer regarded him as a strange outer monk.

"I see that your true energy is much purer than yesterday. Could it be that you have made a breakthrough?"

Bai Hong suddenly looked at Xu Taiping seriously.

"That's right, Uncle Bai, my Canxia Qi is already in the defrosting stage. After breaking through the defrosting stage and entering the freezing stage, I can try to break through the Open Door Realm."

Xu Taiping did not hide Bai Hong.

"good."

Bai Hong nodded in recognition.

He saw Xu Taiping's diligence, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Continue to practice with peace of mind. Even if you reach the freezing period, you only have the qualifications to break through the Open Door Realm. Don't be complacent."

He then warned Xu Taiping.

"Taiping remembers Uncle Bai's teachings."

Xu Taiping raised his hands to Bai Hong seriously.

"Go back to the house and practice. After I give you this today, I will go out to the mountains with the elders of Sifeng. It may take a few months before I can come back."

After Bai Hong said this, he spread his wings and rose from the spot.

"Accompanying the elders of Sifeng to go out of the mountain... could it be that he is going to the secular world to slay demons?"

Looking at Bai Hong's retreating figure, Xu Taiping suddenly thought excitedly.

According to the introduction in the Jade Slip, the disciples and elders of Qifeng will receive many sect tasks from outside the mountain every month. After completing these tasks, the sect will also give a large number of merit rewards.

You must know that any mission from the sect outside the mountain will reward you with more than a thousand merits, which makes Xu Taiping envious.

"Xu Taiping, don't be too ambitious."

After noticing some changes in his mood, Xu Taiping quickly reminded himself in his mind.

Immediately, he moved the wooden box into the yard.

…

Five days later.

Qingzhu lives in the backyard.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping, who was surrounded by a faint aura of frost, after accumulating power for a long time, punched a rock as high as a person in front of him.

The moment he swung his fist, in addition to the sound of breaking wind, he could still faintly hear the roar of cows.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Xu Taiping's tiny fist punched a hole in the huge rock in front of him.

However, Xu Taiping did not stop his fist. Instead, after throwing out the punch, he immediately stood still and adjusted his breath, then alternately punched out his fists.

"Bang, bang, bang!..."

Xu Taiping's fists, one after another, struck the rock like a herd of cattle running wild.

"boom!"

In the end, the rock that was as tall as a person was smashed into a pile of rubble by Xu Taiping with both fists.

However, after smashing the rock, Xu Taiping's true energy had been exhausted, and the ice true energy that protected him like a translucent spherical mask also dissipated.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

After withdrawing his fist, Xu Taiping put his hands on his knees and began to breathe heavily.

What he had just used was the Green Ox Fist purchased from the Xifeng Pavilion's arsenal, and it was the two unique moves of the Green Ox Fist - the horns collapsing the mountain, and the running bulls carving out formations.

"It seems that with the depth of my current Qi, I can only perform one Ox Horn Collapsing Mountain and one Bull Rushing Formation at most."

Xu Taiping gasped.

Because this set of boxing techniques is simple and crude, he has become quite good at it after these few days of practice. However, these two unique moves still give him a headache because they consume too much energy.

Even if Can Xia's Qi recovers very quickly, Xu Taiping can only practice two or three times a day, and he won't be able to recover if he exercises any more Qi.

"Let's go here today. When the sun gets lighter, we have to weed the Nine-Leaf White Perilla."

Xu Taiping picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his body.

Because he has two more martial arts skills to practice, he is very tight on time now, and he can't wait to break one hour into two hours to use.

However, after breaking through the defrost period, his energy was many times greater than before. Sometimes he wouldn't feel too tired even if he didn't sleep for two or three days, so the time he could spend practicing also increased a lot.

"Ouch!..."

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking about getting some food, he suddenly heard a wolf howl.

"It seems to be coming from Yanglu Mountain. Could it be that the wolf monster appears there again?"

While he was thinking this, he quickly rushed out of the backyard, climbed up the courtyard wall, and then jumped from the courtyard wall to the roof.
