　　How　is　Taiping?
　　I don’t know, the door hasn’t opened yet.
Eating the dragon’s tooth fruit raw this little junior brother of the Seven Peaks treats himself even more harshly than Senior Qingxiao.
　　In the small courtyard of Yulu Garden, several female disciples of the Six Peaks were whispering about Xu Taiping, and their eyes looked towards the backyard from time to time.
　　If it weren’t for Junior Brother Taiping this time, we would all have died here.
　　Zhou Ao, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this time.
　　Several people nodded upon hearing this.
　　Seventh Junior Brother, you go and take a look.
　　Yes, you go and see how Taiping’s injury is.
　　Just now Senior Sister Ziyan wouldn’t let us go over. As a male disciple, you should be fine.
　　Several senior sisters said to Zhou Ao.
　　“Mm.”
　　Zhou Ao nodded, then stepped towards the backyard.
　　……
　　At the entrance of the backyard.
　　“Senior Sister Ziyan, Junior Sister Buyu.”
　　Zhou Ao greeted the two people standing at the door.
　　Xu Ziyan slightly nodded.
　　Lin Buyu, on the other hand, seemed not to have heard and still had her gaze fixed on a stone house in the backyard.
　　That stone house should originally have been a place for discussing important matters. Once the stone door was closed, no sound from inside could be heard.
　　“Seventh Junior Brother, how is your injury？”
　　Xu Ziyan asked Zhou Ao.
　　Today, Zhou Ao took a direct hit from that demonic cultivator and was seriously injured.
　　“I’m fine. After all, I’m half a warrior. This little flesh wound is nothing.”
　　Zhou Ao shook his head.
　　However, his pale complexion and the weak tone when speaking all indicated that he was just barely holding on.
　　Xu Ziyan didn’t say anything and just gently patted Zhou Ao’s shoulder.
　　“Senior Sister, how is Junior Brother Taiping？”
　　Zhou Ao asked Xu Ziyan.
　　“I don’t know.” Xu Ziyan shook her head and then sighed and said：
　　“He has been in the stone house and hasn’t come out. I called out a few times, but there was no response.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ao’s expression immediately became a little nervous.
　　“Could there be any problem？”
　　He asked Xu Ziyan worriedly.
“I’m not too sure either. Before leaving, Master repeatedly told me not to eat the fruit raw. Now it seems that the harm is indeed not light.
　　Xu Ziyan said with a frown.
　　“Bang！”
　　Just then, a violent collision sound suddenly came from the stone house in the backyard.
　　“Bang, bang！”
　　Not long after, the collision sound rang out again, as if someone was pounding the ground and walls with their fists.
　　“Senior sister, let me go in and take a look. Don’t let anything happen.”
　　Zhou Ao said very worriedly.
　　“Zheng！”
　　As soon as Zhou Ao’s words came out, Lin Buyu drew his sword and blocked the courtyard door of the backyard.
　　“Before Xu Taiping comes out, no one is allowed to go in.”
　　Lin Buyu said indifferently.
　　“This is Xu Taiping’s explanation before going in.”
　　Seeing Zhou Ao’s puzzled face, Xu Ziyan immediately explained for Lin Buyu.
　　After that, the crowd heard a few more sounds of fists pounding the walls and the ground at the courtyard door, and even a few painful groans.
At this moment, even Zhou Ao could guess that Xu Taiping was currently suffering the pain of the backlash of the fruit in the stone house.
However, they surely didn’t know that what Xu Taiping was currently bearing was far more than just the backlash of the fruit.
　　He was also simultaneously enduring the pain of the Ghost-Sealing Talisman devouring his blood and qi, the pain of prematurely overdraining his body after exerting his strength beyond the Extreme Realm, and the impact on his divine soul from consuming a large amount of Dragon Gallbladder Wine.
　　And the pain brought about by the backlash of the Dragon Tooth Fruit was actually the lightest.
　　……
　　After a long time.
　　No more collision sounds came from within the stone house.
　　The painful muffled groans also no longer rang out.
　　”Senior Sister Ziyan, Junior Sister Buyu, you can come in now.”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping’s voice came from within the stone house.
　　”He　endured　it.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Ziyan let out a long sigh of relief.
　　The indifferent expression on Lin Buyu’s face also softened slightly.
　　”Senior Sister, can I go in and take a look with you？”
　　Seeing Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu step towards the backyard, Zhou Ao suddenly asked Xu Ziyan for instructions.
　　”Come along.”
　　Xu　Ziyan　nodded.
Lin Buyu didn’t even turn her head and went straight walked to the door of the stone house.
　　……
　　Inside the stone house.
　　Although she had already prepared herself mentally, Xu Ziyan was still shocked by the scene inside the stone house.
　　I saw that on the walls and ground of the stone house, there were bloody fist prints everywhere, and a terrifying and violent qi filled the air.
　　And the one who had the greatest impact on the few people was still Xu Taiping himself.
　　At this time, Xu Taiping’s face was as pale as paper, and his whole body seemed to have been soaked in blood, and his clothes were all dyed blood red.
　　What surprised Xu Ziyan and Zhou Ao the most was still Xu Taiping’s body.
　　I saw that Xu Taiping’s originally well-proportioned body had now become as thin as a stick.
　　They couldn’t imagine what kind of pain could make a person lose so much weight in just less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.
　　”Taiping, how do you feel？”
　　Xu Ziyan asked with a worried look in her eyes.
　　”It’s okay, I made Senior Sister and you worry.”
　　Xu Taiping stood up with great difficulty.
　　Seeing this, Zhou Ao stepped forward and supported him.
　　”Thank you.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded slightly to Zhou Ao.
　　”It’s me who should say thank you.”
　　Zhou Ao had a face full of shame.
　　”The roast goose made by Third Senior Sister wasn’t finished, and half of it was left for you.”
　　Lin Buyu handed a roast goose wrapped in oil paper to Xu Taiping.
　　”Thank you, Junior Sister Buyu. I’m starving.”
Xu Taiping smiled and took the half roast goose and ate it in front of Lin Buyu.
　　“Still having an appetite to eat, which means you’re really okay. Come on, let’s go to the dining hall. I’ll ask Third Sister to prepare some more food for you. Also, boil a pot of hot water and prepare a medicinal bath for you. It’s a unique secret recipe of our Sixth Peak. After taking a soak, it will surely make you feel extremely energetic.”
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping could still eat heartily, Xu Ziyan immediately felt completely relieved, and the tone of her speech also became lighter.
　　“Rumble…”
　　Just as the few people walked out of the stone house, a rumbling thunderous sound rang out in the sky above their heads.
　　Looking up, they saw that the sky that was just clear suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.
