Mortal Bones

evening.

Nanchu Imperial Palace.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think of Xu Taiping from Zhenwutian?"

King Zhao looked at the image of the Moon Shadow Stone on the table and asked Zhu Huai beside him without looking back.

"Strong, very strong. Among the younger generation, this boy is the best among the best."

Zhu Huai made no secret of his appreciation for Xu Taiping.

King Zhao nodded when he heard this, and then looked at the third prince Chu Yinan who was standing quietly aside:

"Yi'er, what do you think?"

Chu Yinan took a step forward and saluted:

"Reporting to my father, my master is right. Xu Taiping is indeed very strong."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued with an extremely confident smile:

"But kid, I'm confident that I can beat him."

Hearing this, King Zhao showed neither sadness nor joy on his face. His eyes were still staring at the figure of Xu Taiping after opening the sword in the Moon Shadow Stone. He asked without raising his head:

"Where does your confidence come from?"

Chu Yinan smiled confidently upon hearing this, then raised his hands and replied:

"Reporting to my father, as early as two years ago, under the guidance of the Supreme Immortal Qionghua, my child entered the Lutai Mountain Sword Tomb and obtained the "Sky Shadow Sword Code", the source of the inheritance in the sword tomb. Master and I just I was afraid that Father, you would be worried, so I didn’t tell you.”

Upon hearing this, King Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, then he raised his head and looked at Zhu Huai steadily and said:

"really?"

When Zhu Huai heard this, he also raised the corners of his mouth and said to King Zhao, cupping his hands:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Da Chu royal family is the only royal family in this Youyun Tian who has inherited the Origin Method."

After hearing this, King Chu Zhao excitedly slammed the table and said:

"Okay, okay, okay! Our country, Dachu, is indeed prosperous. How can you, a mere Huang Laodao, do this!"

…

Golden Scale Pavilion, the inner pool of Golden Scale Pond.

"The first type of sword domain power you used today is a double-edged sword. It can damage the enemy by seven points and hurt yourself by at least three points. Among the sword domain powers in my memory, it can barely rank in the middle and lower reaches. level."

"But he suits me very well, and it's not bad to be ranked in the middle."

"Not trying to make progress."

Xu Taiping was soaking in the medicinal soup in the bath, leaning his head on the edge of the bath, chatting with the sword ghost with half-closed eyes.

After the competition just now, because his injuries were too serious, Xu Taiping did not go to the stage to watch the battle as usual. Instead, he was taken to the inner pool of the Golden Scale Pond by Palace Master Qiu Shanyuan to soak in the decoction that had been prepared long ago.

According to the previous promise made by Palace Master Qiu, no matter how seriously Xu Taiping was injured in this competition with the demon species, Youyun Palace will definitely heal him and even restore him to his original state.

The dark red decoction in Xu Taiping's bathhouse at this moment is called Xiucui Decoction. It is a decoction made by Youyun Mansion using dragon essence and blood as a guide, and soaked and refined with dozens of heaven-level precious medicinal materials.

According to Palace Master Qiu, even if the cost of medicinal materials is not taken into account, the nine dragons in the Golden Scale Pond can refine such a pond of medicine in one year.

"call……"

Feeling that the injuries on his body were fading away little by little and the pain was lessening, Xu Taiping let out a long breath of comfort.

He could feel that this marrow repair soup was not only able to heal his injuries, but even the vitality that had been completely taken away was also being restored bit by bit.

"This marrow repair soup is really good."

Xu Taiping suddenly sighed with emotion.

"This marrow-repairing soup does have some effect on your current body. When your body improves further, if you suffer such serious damage again, you will have to find other methods of treatment."

The sword ghost smiled coldly.

After absorbing the blood rock soul flint, Sword Demon's soul became significantly stronger. In the past, he had been unable to communicate with Xu Taiping for many days, but now he was able to communicate freely.

"By the way, Senior Sword Demon, what are the sword realm powers that can be ranked at the forefront?"

Seeing that Dao Gui was in a good mood, Xu Taiping took the opportunity to learn more about things related to Dao Realm from him.

"I don't know what some of them are now. After all, sword cultivators die very quickly, and as soon as a sword cultivator dies, the power of the sword domain will disappear, and there will be very few inheritances."

"But speaking of the past, what impressed me the most was the flying immortal from outside the world who was a swordsman in Chenglongtian. He could activate the power of stars in the sword domain and destroy a small world with one sword."

Daogui recalled.

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Taiping's mouth twitched a few times. He finally understood why the sword ghost said that his first sword power was only average.

"Since there is a sword realm, is there also a fist realm, a spear realm, and a sword realm?"

Xu Taiping changed the topic.

"Of course, as long as a martial artist practices his skills to the extreme and finally understands the ultimate intention, he can understand the power of the domain."

"What about the monk?"

"Although pure cultivators cannot master the power of the realm, after they master the true meaning, they can understand the power of the great road."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt at ease.

"After you recover from your injuries, take a day to come to my sword domain again before the competition."

The sword ghost said again at this time.

"Senior, didn't you say that my soul has been seriously damaged and I can't go to your sword realm recently?"

Xu Taiping was a little curious.

"Do you want to defeat the third prince and become the leader?"

"Of course I do."

"You exposed too much in the battle with the demon species today, especially because you relied too much on the power of blood and soul, which will definitely be targeted by the third prince, so your only chance of winning now is the power of your second sword domain. . So if you want to win, you must take a gamble and master the power of the second sword domain."

Dao Gui explained to Xu Taiping.

"And to be honest, I don't understand your second sword domain power. I have to go into the sword domain again to confirm."

He then added.

"I understand, Sword Demon-senpai."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill, and when he looked down, he found that the marrow-repairing fluid in the bath had dried up.

"It's time to go back."

After checking the injuries on his body, he found that he had recovered to some extent, and Xu Taiping stood up.

At this time, the master of the palace, Qiu Shanyuan, seemed to have discovered that Xu Taiping had recovered from his injury, and came to the bath with a deacon in white.

"Mr. Xu, do you still need to change the soup and medicine?"

Qiu Shanyuan asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"No need, Master Qiu. I have changed the decoction five times and my injury is almost healed."

Xu Taiping, who had already put on his clothes, smiled at Palace Master Qiu.

"That's good, that's good. This disaster of the demon species is really thanks to Mr. Xu."

Qiu Shanyuan smiled and nodded, then wiped the sweat from his forehead casually.

"This is the thank you gift agreed upon with Master Lu. Mr. Xu, please keep it."

He handed another ordinary storage ring to Xu Taiping.
