Another day passed.
“Tweet！…”
Xu Taiping, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly heard the cry of a spiritual bird at the courtyard entrance.
“It should be Uncle Diao coming to deliver money to me.”
Xu Taiping immediately flipped over and jumped off the bed.
Arriving at the courtyard entrance, he indeed saw the white-headed eagle from yesterday.
“Pa！”
The white-headed eagle still didn’t waste any words and directly threw a bag of money to Xu Taiping. Then, with a cold tone, it said：
“A total of ninety-seven merit coins were sold. After deducting my three coins, there are still ninety-four coins left. You can count them.”
“No need to count. Thank you, Uncle Diao.”
Xu Taiping cupped his hands and said thank you.
These spiritual birds in Yunlu Mountain had all made blood pacts with Qingxuan Sect and would never do such petty theft.
Xu Taiping’s this action made the gaze of the white-headed eagle looking at him become a lot softer.
“If you have something to do, blow the flute. I am in charge of this area now.”
The white-headed eagle said indifferently.
“Then I will have to trouble Uncle Diao in the future.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“Huh？ Why is there the aura of a demonic beast in your courtyard？”
The white-headed eagle was just about to leave when it suddenly turned its head again and looked at the courtyard behind Xu Taiping with a gaze full of suspicion.
“This Brother Eagle can actually detect the aura of the demon wolf in my courtyard？”
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
However, he didn’t plan to hide it, so he told the spiritual bird in front of him about what happened yesterday. After all, there was nothing to hide.
“How could there be a demon wolf in Yanglu Mountain？”
After listening to Xu Taiping’s account, the spiritual bird, the white-headed eagle, also had a look of doubt on its face.
You kid are quite lucky. but don’t go to that Yanglu Mountain in the near future. I will also say hello to Xifeng Pavilion about this matter.”
The white-headed eagle didn’t seem to plan to delve into it either.
“Youdaoplaceholder0 Couldn’t be better.”
Xu Taiping nodded gratefully.
It would be good if someone from the sect could come and take a look. After all, with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t deal with any monsters.
“By the way, do you plan to sell the body of that demon wolf？”
At this time, the white-headed eagle asked again.
“Sell, of course sell！”
Xu Taiping nodded without thinking.
“Sell it to me. My youngest son is preparing to break through recently. Although the grade of that demon wolf is not high, it is more than enough to nourish the qi and blood of our spiritual birds.”
The white-headed eagle said.
“If Uncle Eagle wants it, just take it.”
Xu Taiping said very straightforwardly.
He didn’t mind using the body of this demon wolf to make friends with the white-headed eagle in front of him.
“How could I take a thing from you, a youngster, for nothing, let alone that it was something you got with your life.”
The bald eagle gave Xu Taiping a sidelong glance, but his favorability towards this youngster increased a few more points in his heart.
“Well, if you take this demon wolf’s corpse to sell by yourself, it would probably be worth only a dozen or so merit coins, and I’m willing to offer twenty merit coins here. What do you think, youngster？”
The bald eagle asked.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping didn’t say a word and returned to the courtyard, then dragged out the corpse of that demon wolf.
“Uncle Eagle, you take it away.”
He put the corpse of that demon wolf in front of the bald eagle.
“Youngster, take it well.”
Seeing this, the bald eagle laughed heartily. Then, with a flap of its wings, it accurately threw twenty merit coins in front of Xu Taiping.
“Also, the previous sect leader bestowed the name Baihong on me. You can just call me Uncle Bai.”
As the bald eagle spoke, it grabbed the corpse of the demon wolf on the ground, then with a shake of its wings, it rose up from the spot.
“It was actually bestowed a name by the sect leader himself.”
Xu Taiping looked in the direction where the bald eagle had left and muttered to himself.
“This time, I unexpectedly got twenty more merit coins. No matter what, I have to pick a better martial skill and a suitable weapon.”
Looking at the money bag in his left hand and the twenty merit coins in his right hand, Xu Taiping rarely showed the habits of a child, happily bouncing back to the small courtyard.
……
Return to the bedroom.
Xu Taiping first put a merit coin into the bronze mirror.
”Qingzhu Residence Xu Taiping, what do you want to find me for？”
The voice of the mirror spirit in the bronze mirror rang out immediately.
”Lord Xuanjing, I want to choose a few martial arts skills and weapons. Is there anything you can recommend？”
Although he already knew that this mirror spirit was just an emotionless object, Xu Taiping’s address to him was still very polite.
”You outer sect casual cultivator disciples can only buy martial arts skills and weapons from the arsenal of Xifeng Pavilion. The martial arts skills and weapons still existing in Xifeng Pavilion have been shown in the bronze mirror. You can choose by yourself.”
The voice of the mirror spirit was still without any emotional color.
”Thank you, Lord Xuanjing.”
Xu Taiping thanked him and then began to lie on the table and choose.
”I remember that when True Monarch Ziyang gave a lecture, he once said that the martial arts skills most suitable for the ‘Canxia Gong’ are fists and palms, which can maximize the advantage of the deep true energy of the disciples who practice the Canxia True Qi. After operating the Canxia True Qi, every punch and every palm has the full force of a blow comparable to that of an ordinary person picking up a weapon.”
Recalling the content of the True Monarch Ziyang’s lecture that day, Xu Taiping did not hesitate to lock his eyes on the various boxing manuals and palm manuals displayed on the bronze mirror.
Finally, he selected a boxing manual called the “Green Ox Boxing”.
According to the introduction of this boxing manual, after practicing the “Green Ox Boxing” and using it in conjunction with the true qi in the body, each punch can smash the rocks in the mountains.
In addition, this Green Ox Boxing also has two unique moves.
One move is called “Ox Horn Collapsing the Mountain”. When fully exerted, its force is like a green ox hitting a mountain, and the force is eight times that of an ordinary Green Ox Boxing move.
One move is called “Running Ox Piercing the Formation”. When fully exerted, the momentum of the fist is like a group of oxen running wild, and each punch is stronger than the previous one and will not stop until exhaustion.
Overall, this “Green Ox Boxing” is very suitable for Xu Taiping at present, and it is also very suitable for the Residual Cloud Skill that can quickly restore true qi.
Of course, in the arsenal of the West Wind Pavilion, there are actually better and more suitable boxing techniques than this “Green Ox Boxing”, but unfortunately, the prices of those boxing techniques are mostly above one hundred merit coins, while this “Green Ox Boxing” only requires thirty merit coins.
As a martial art that only serves as a transitional role and is used for self-defense, this Green Ox Boxing is very suitable.
In addition to the “Green Ox Boxing”, Xu Taiping also spent ten merit coins to buy an archery martial art called the “Piercing Yang Arrow”.
This martial art is relatively ordinary. It only teaches the cultivator the method of using true qi to enhance eyesight and concentration, as well as how to integrate true qi into the arrow to enhance the power of the arrow.
In simple terms, it is to upgrade ordinary archery to the level of cultivators.
However, for Xu Taiping, it is very cost-effective to buy such a martial art at the price of ten merit coins.
For example, if he had known the method of integrating true qi into the arrow last time, he might not have needed to use the mechanism in the mountain and could have killed that demon wolf.
