“Bamboo rice？ That is the seed of bamboo, right？”
Xu Taiping had still heard of bamboo rice.
“That’s right, open it and see how many there are？”
The Fairy Lingyue nodded and then urged again.
Xu Taiping nodded, opened the caryopsis, and then took out two long rice-grain-like fruits from it.
“Only two, not very good luck.”
The Fairy Lingyue said with some regret when she saw this.
“How many should there be normally？”
Xu Taiping asked.
“If you’re lucky, there can be three. If you’re unlucky, there’s only one.”
The Fairy Lingyue replied.
“Well, that’s okay.”
Xu Taiping smiled.
“What’s okay? Bamboo rice is best at giving birth to weapons. One more seed is equivalent to one more weapon.”
The Fairy Lingyue’s face was still full of regret.
When Xu Taiping heard this, he also felt a little bit of heartache.
“Otherwise, this time my seed will be given to you. One more weapon for you means one more means of self-protection.”
The Fairy Lingyue suddenly proposed.
Under normal circumstances, she needs to take a fruit produced by the Earth Fruit to nourish her divine essence, but this bamboo rice is really too precious, and she feels that it is a bit not worth it.
”No.”
Xu Taiping flatly refused.
”When I planted the Earth Fruit for the first time, I already said to Sister Lingyue that among the fruits produced by the Earth Fruit, there must be one for Sister you. This is the fair deal that we initially agreed upon.”
He said very seriously.
Seeing that Xu Taiping so seriously adhered to the agreement he had with her, Fairy Lingyue found it both funny and a little touched.
”Taiping, have you thought it through clearly? This opportunity is really very rare. The probability that the Burning Seed can burn out bamboo rice again in the future is very small.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again.
”Of course.”
Xu Taiping nodded without hesitation.
”Since that’s the case, we don’t need to look for other nutrients anymore. Let’s go directly to the courtyard and plant it.”
Fairy Lingyue didn’t persist any longer.
……
After some consideration, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue finally chose the atrium of Qiyue Xuan to plant these two grains of bamboo rice.
Because there is already a bamboo forest in this atrium, which can just be used as a cover.
”Although this is a suspended mountain, its qi mechanism is connected to the main peak of the Seventh Peak. So even if it is planted here, the Earth Fruit can still obtain the spiritual luck of the entire Seventh Peak and the treasures buried in the mountain for thousands of years.”
Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping the reason for planting the Earth Fruit’s first inoculation here.
“It’s better to plant it here, and there’s no need to constantly watch over it.”
Xu Taiping, who had already dug the pits, nodded.
As for the nutrients needed by the Earth Fruit this time, he had long been prepared.
The sword sheath of Su Chan obtained from the Sixth Princess, the Ice Soul Moon Spirit Stone given by the father of Little Ping’an the Mountain-Moving Ape, and the batch of gold and jewels obtained from the imperial palace of the Wujiu Kingdom.
“With Su Chan’s sword sheath and that Ice Soul Moon Spirit Stone, even if it doesn’t produce a celestial weapon, it can at least produce a top-grade spiritual weapon, and that batch of gold and jewels can almost help me repair one of the three souls.”
Looking at the two large pits dug by Xu Taiping in the bamboo forest, Fairy Lingyue muttered to herself.
“To be honest, I still prefer knives more.”
Xu Taiping smiled sheepishly.
If it weren’t for Fairy Lingyue’s prohibition, he would have wanted to throw the Spring Tiger Saber in his hand in.
“The uses of a flying sword are not just for killing. For example, with a flying sword and having learned the art of controlling the sword, you can be free from the constraints of the forces of heaven and earth, and a thousand miles can be reached in an instant.
“As for the knife, for you at present, that Spring Tiger is more than enough to use.”
Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping also felt that his understanding of the sword was indeed too shallow. Immediately, he nodded with a teachable expression on his face.
Speaking of which, it’s about time for you to learn the art of sword control, isn’t it? Why hasn’t the master of the Seventh Peak let you become a master yet?
After planting the earth fruit, Fairy Lingyue suddenly said with some surprise.
“Previously, Senior Brother Qingxiao did mention that after a while, an elder would come to teach me how to practice swordsmanship, and there would be no need to deliberately become an apprentice at that time.
Xu Taiping replied.
“Well, that’s fine too.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
“These two green bamboos will take at least three years to mature. When the bamboo shoots grow in two or three months, I should also enter the earth fruit and fall asleep. In the future, if you encounter any problems, you may have to rely on yourself.”
She suddenly looked at Xu Taiping seriously and said.
“Sister Lingyue, don’t worry about me. I will try my best to deal with what I can, and if I can’t handle it, I still have Ping’an Baiyu and the senior brothers of the Seventh Peak.”
Xu Taiping smiled.
“I actually forgot that now you are no longer alone.”
Fairy Lingyue smiled with great relief upon hearing this.
“However, if you plan to take action against that Lu Chen around the time of the Seven Peaks Competition, I should still be able to catch up.”
She then muttered to herself as if talking to herself.
“Whether you are here or not at that time, Sister Lingyue, don’t interfere in this matter. If, under such planning, I still can’t kill him, wouldn’t I be ashamed of Sister Lingyue’s cultivation of me？”
Xu Taiping smiled at Fairy Lingyue.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue also happily giggled.
“But then again, although I can’t leave the Earth Fruit, I should be able to wake up once every three months. If I really don’t catch up, I will still be able to hear your good news at that time.”
She said expectantly.
“Okay！”
Xu Taiping nodded heavily.
“Qiyuexuan, Xu Taiping, there is a letter for you！”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to return to the stone building to continue his cultivation, a very shrill voice suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard of Qiyuexuan.
Needless to say, this must be the spirit bird delivering the letter.
“There is still someone sending me a letter so late？”
Xu Taiping said this while walking towards the entrance of Qiyuexuan.
“Your Peak Master’s letter. He asked you to open it immediately after receiving it to avoid delaying matters.”
After receiving the merit coins thrown by Xu Taiping, the letter-delivering crane left this sentence and soared into the sky.
“Your Peak Master’s letter？”
Fairy Lingyue was also a little curious at this time.
“It is indeed the handwriting of our Peak Master.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Fairy Lingyue took a look and then also nodded and said：
“Indeed.”
The handwriting on the envelope looks like it was scratched out by a chicken’s paw. Among the Seven Peaks, apart from Zhao Qian, there really aren’t many people who can write like this.
Open the envelope and pull out the letter paper.
It took Xu Taiping a long time to finally recognize all the words on it——
“Go to the Moon Fishing Pond of the Seven Peaks at dawn tomorrow morning. There will be a sect elder coming to teach you how to practice swordsmanship. You can call him Elder Sansan. This Elder Sansan has a bad temper. You should practice as he teaches, and don’t ask too many questions.”
“Xu Taiping, although Elder Sansan’s temper is a bit strange, his swordsmanship is superb and not inferior to that of Ninth Uncle. You must not betray my good intentions as your Peak Master.”
After reading it again, Xu Taiping suddenly She frowned head and said with some confusion:
“Who is this Elder Sansan？ His swordsmanship is actually not inferior to that of Ninth Uncle. Why have I never heard of him？”
