Mortal Bones

On the other side, the girl holding Xu Taiping's hand just smiled at him without saying a word.

Xu Taiping looked at the young man in front of him, then at the girl in red beside him, and then at his second uncle and second aunt who were still fighting with the Bai family's manager, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared.

"I do."

Xu Taiping nodded to the young disciples with a firm look in his eyes.

Hearing this, the young man smiled heartily, then waved his sleeves, and swept Xu Taiping and the girl in red with the breeze in his sleeves, and then flew into the air and landed on the crane in the air.

"Taiping, my name is Dugu Qingxiao, the second disciple of the seventh peak of Qingxuan Sect."

"My name is Zhao Linglong, the sixth disciple of the seventh peak of Qingxuan Sect, and I will be your little sister in the future."

"Taiping meets the senior brother and the senior sister."

Amidst the laughter, the villagers only saw the crane gradually disappearing above the sea of ​​clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

As for Xu Taiping's uncle and aunt, they still couldn't beat the Bai family's steward and servants. They lost everything and could only sit under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village and curse at the sky.

...

Yunlu Mountain.

In just one day, Xu Taiping rode a crane and arrived at the legendary Yunlu Mountain.

In fact, to be precise, the Yunlu Mountain in the secular world is just the entrance to Qingxuan Gate.

Just like the iceberg in the sea of ​​​​the extremely cold land, the iceberg exposed on the sea surface is often only the tip of the entire iceberg.

"The Yunlu Mountain you talk about in the secular world is just the barrier of the Yunlu Seven Peaks. The real Yunlu Seven Peaks are shrouded in the clouds and mist of the barrier all year round, and you need a spiritual bird to lead the way in and out."

When they were about to rush into the sea of ​​clouds on the top of the mountain, Linglong, who was riding on the crane, introduced it to Xu Taiping with excitement.

"The real Yunlu Mountain...how big is it?"

After hearing the introduction of Sister Linglong, Xu Taiping also became curious about Yunlu Mountain.

"The peaks of Yunlu Mountain stretch for thousands of miles, and the seven main peaks are more than ten thousand feet high. The area is probably not smaller than your Daliang country. It's just that the entire Yunlu Mountain is a world of its own, so in the eyes of the secular world, it is just a small mountain."

The one who answered Xu Taiping's question was Qingxiao, who was meditating on the side.

"Not smaller than Daliang country?"

Xu Taiping's cognition was once again shocked.

"Yes, in the cultivation world, there are many caves and secret realms like Yunlu Mountain. Our Yunlu Mountain Qingxuan Sect can only be regarded as a third-class cultivation sect."

Linglong smiled and nodded.

"Then above the third class..."

"Boom!"

Just when Xu Taiping was about to ask more about the cultivation world, a gust of wind suddenly blew in his face, and the crane they were riding on made a sharp cry.

"Junior brother, this is the barrier wind caused by the mountain protection formation. Hold my hand tightly, otherwise you will fall down."

Linglong pulled Xu Taiping's hand and shouted.

"Hmm!"

Xu Taiping nodded, and then clenched the soft boneless hand tightly.

"Hoohoo..."

In the blink of an eye, the turbulent wind in front of Xu Taiping completely dissipated, leaving only the clear blue sky, the rolling mountains, the towering peaks, and the suspended mountains hidden in the sea of ​​clouds.

"This is the real Yunlu Fairy Mountain."

Zhao Linglong stood up proudly and looked into the distance.

"Brother Qingxiao, Junior Sister Linglong."

Just then, a sweet and gentle voice came from the side of the few people.

Xu Taiping turned his head and saw a green light flying out of the sea of ​​clouds on one side.

A closer look revealed that it was a slender and sweet-looking woman, who was walking in the air with a little girl on a jade gourd.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan? Why are you coming down the mountain too?"

Zhao Linglong smiled and waved to Zi Yan.

"Not long after you left the mountain, the Spiritual Bone Monument started to sense something again. This time, my Sixth Peak also has a disciple chosen by the Spiritual Bone Monument."

Zi Yan smiled and glanced at the little girl behind her.

The little girl was wearing a white dress and her skin was as white as jade. From a distance, she looked like a flawless porcelain doll, very beautiful.

"What a pretty little girl."

Zhao Linglong praised sincerely.

"Congratulations, congratulations, the Sixth Peak has got another good seedling. I'm afraid the Sixth Peak will win the next Seven Peaks Competition."

Qing Xiao smiled and bowed to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and a hint of charm inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows.

"Bu Yu, come and meet Senior Brother Qing Xiao and Senior Sister Ling Long."

Zi Yan patted the shoulder of the girl behind her.

"Bu Yu, meet Senior Brother Qing Xiao and Senior Sister Ling Long."

The little girl saluted Qing Xiao and Ling Long unskillfully.

"You're welcome."

Qing Xiao smiled.

Linglong looked at Xu Taiping beside her, patted his head and said:

"Taiping, come and meet Senior Sister Zi Yan from the Sixth Peak and the future Junior Sister. The Sixth Peak is the most generous among the Seven Peaks, you have to curry favor with her."

"Taiping, meet Senior Sister Zi Yan and meet Sister Buyu."

Although Xu Taiping was a little confused, he still bowed respectfully to Zi Yan.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. When you become a formal disciple of the Seven Peaks, I will give you a Peiyuan Pill."

Zi Yan smiled.

"Why don't you thank Senior Sister Zi Yan!"

Seeing that Taiping was still in a daze, Zhao Linglong beside him quickly pressed his head and asked him to thank Zi Yan.

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister Zi Yan."

Xu Taiping still said his thanks in a confused manner.

"Senior Brother Qingxiao, are you going to Longmen Palace later?"

Zi Yan changed the topic.

"Yes, before taking Taiping up to the Seven Peaks, you must first go to Longmen Palace to have your spiritual bones tested."

Qingxiao nodded.

"Then I will go with Senior Brother Qingxiao."

Zi Yan drove the flying sword to the crane where Qing Xiao and the others were riding.

"Then let's go together."

Qingxiao nodded.

"Tsk tsk tsk, senior sister Zi Yan, how about you and my senior brother ride on the crane together, and I fly with the silent sword?"

Zhao Linglong said with a wicked smile.

"Zhao Linglong, are you asking for a beating?"

Zi Yan's cheeks turned red and she let out a squeak.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you down."

Qingxiao rolled her eyes at Zhao Linglong who was smiling evilly.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!..."

Zhao Linglong held Xu Taiping's shoulders and begged for mercy.

At this moment, Xu Taiping's face felt a little hot. This was the first time since he was a child that he was held by a strange woman.

But compared to this shyness, what concerned him more at the moment was what Qing Xiao said earlier - "Go to Longmen Palace to measure the spiritual bones first."

"Senior Brother Qingxiao, why do you want to measure spiritual bones?"

Xu Taiping couldn't help but ask.

"Although the disciples you personally selected for the Spiritual Bone Monument can directly become disciples of the Seventh Peak without taking the test, you still need to test the type and grade of the spirit bone. This will be good for your future practice."

Qing Xiao introduced to Xu Taiping.

"I'm afraid you don't know, Xiao Taiping. In the world of cultivation, although you can practice with spiritual bones, even spiritual bones have different types and grades."

Zhao Linglong hooked Xu Taiping's shoulders, and then explained to him with her fingers:

"In terms of categories, the most common ones are the five elements spirit bones of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In addition, there are also rare alien bones such as ice, thunder, and wind."

"As for the grades, there are four grades in total, purple spiritual bones, golden spiritual bones, mysterious spiritual bones, and white spiritual bones. Among them, purple spiritual bones are the rarest and are also called heavenly spiritual bones, while white spiritual bones are the most useless."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately understood.

"Why is the white spirit bone the most useless?"

he asked curiously.
