After pouring a big mouthful of wine into his mouth with a “gurgle gurgle”, he suddenly grinned and said：
“Being born as a human, you should cultivate yourself, you should ferry people, you should be like water, and live in a bad abyss but do good… That’s really well said.”
After saying this to himself, he took another swig of wine, then wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve which was like a rag and continued to murmur：
“I never thought that, many years later, I would hear these words from the mouth of an outer sect unnamed disciple. How ridiculous, how ridiculous！”
After saying this, he turned sideways, propped his head up with his hand and yawned, then looked in the direction of Green Bamboo Residence and his tone suddenly became extremely fierce：
“Reside in the evil abyss and do good. If this is your Dao heart, then show me your means of protecting the Dao. I, Jian Jiu, hate those who speak wild words the most！”
……
One evening nine days later.
Yanglu Mountain, Purple Bamboo Forest.
“Bang！”
Xu Taiping used the move “Green Ox Charging the Mountain” and smashed a demonic wolf that pounced towards him flying backwards.
But soon, two more demonic wolves pounced from behind Xu Taiping.
“The true qi has been almost consumed. It seems I have to go back.”
Xu Taiping looked at the depths of the bamboo forest somewhat unwillingly.
I saw that in the depths of the Purple Bamboo Forest, a corpse ghoul with a rotten body was holding a big axe and forcefully chopping a rock on the ground.
Underneath this rock is precisely the spring eye where the water flows into Qingzhu Residence. As long as the large rock covering the spring eye is split open and then blocked, the water vein flowing to Qingzhu Residence will be considered cut off. By then, not only will the spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden wither, but even the boundary of Qingzhu Residence may fail.
“Bang！”
At this time, once again heavily chopped the ax on that rock, a ripple of spiritual power and countless flying debris of broken stones.
This ax blow caused the rock engraved with runes to split open another crack.
“Little fellow, it’s still not too late to regret now！”
The zombie turned its head to look at Xu Taiping with a terrifying smile while carrying the ax.
There is no doubt that this corpse is precisely the new body possessed by that Chang Gui .
“It’s still uncertain who will win！”
While speaking, Xu Taiping picked up the true qi in his body and used a “Charging Bull Rushing Formation”.
Accompanied by a sound of air explosion like a bull’s roar, the two demon wolves pouncing towards him were sent flying by several suddenly appearing fist shadows and wailed continuously.
“Swish！”
Taking advantage of the gap when the demon Wolf were forced back, Xu Taiping nimbly grabbed a purple bamboo Youdaoplaceholder0 up with the help of the elasticity of the purple bamboo, and escaped from the siege of the demon Wolf.
”Can’t even deal with a few demon wolves, yet still want to stop me from digging up the water vein？ Hide, keep hiding. In a few more days, let’s see where you can hide！”
Looking in the direction where Xu Taiping fled, a stiff smile appeared on the face of that chang gui.
Ever since discovering that the water vein spring was in the Purple Bamboo Grove, during these nine days, Xu Taiping had already come here to stop that chang gui more than once, but every time he ended up in a disastrous defeat, which made that chang gui even more proud.
……
Returning to Green Bamboo Residence.
”Hua la la…”
Xu Taiping took a basin of cold water from the water tank and poured it all over his body, washing away all the sweat and dirt on his body.
After doing all this, he quickly dried the water on his body, changed into a clean set of clothes and walked into the bedroom, sitting down in front of a simple desk he made himself.
”The fifth failed sneak attack on the chang gui. This time, I used about sixty percent of my strength, one tenth less than last time, and that chang gui didn’t notice anything unusual. The weaknesses of the three demon wolves have also been figured out. The one with a scar at the corner of its eye has an injury on its hind leg and can be killed from behind it. The smallest one has an injury in its eye and its reaction is a little slower than the other two…”
Xu Taiping picked up a pen and wrote down one by one the insights gained from this sneak attack.
During these five sneak attacks, especially the last two times, he actually had the opportunity to kill those three demon wolves, but in order to confuse that chang gui and avoid getting injured before the life-and-death battle with that chang gui, he deliberately held back.
”I have probed for five consecutive times. That changgui should already think that’s all my strength. Next, I just need to do my best to improve my skill. It would be best if I can directly promote the Canxia Gong to the Ice Formation Stage in one go.”
Xu Taiping put down the pen, pondered for a moment, and then walked to the bedside and sat down.
After promoting the Canxia Gong to the Ice Formation Stage, not only can the protective power of the Canxia Body Protecting Qi be greatly improved, but also the Canxia True Qi can condense water into ice.
”If I break through to the Ice Formation Stage, I can seal those jars of wine I bought in the ice cubes. In this way, that changgui will definitely not find out.”
He looked at the jars of strong wine placed beside the bedside.
Although the people in the Xifeng Pavilion turn a blind eye to the changgui, when Xu Taiping wants to buy things, they will still send them by spirit birds.
It’s a pity that the spirit birds that delivered the goods these times are not Baihong, and they are all very cold. Otherwise, Xu Taiping could also ask them for help.
”Don’t always think about relying on others. Didn’t Sister Linglong say that at the foot of this mountain, the outer sect unregistered disciples can only rely on themselves.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and re-stabilized his mind.
Then he directly threw a soybean-sized spirit crystal into his mouth and began to prepare to try to promote the Canxia True Qi in his body to the Ice Formation Stage.
……
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
In these few days, Xu Taiping has almost been practicing the Canxia Gong without eating or drinking. Even though the water source in the garden has been cut off, he has not wavered in the slightest. It seems that he has entered a state of selflessness.
“Little guy, come out and die！”
That afternoon, the changgui, accompanied by three demonic wolves, once again came to the door of Qingzhu Residence.
Although delayed for a few days by Xu Taiping’s interference, the changgui finally completely blocked the spring eye in the Purple Bamboo Forest on Yanglu Mountain today.
“Bang！”
Seeing that there was no response from the house for a long time, the changgui leaped off the demonic wolf and then slashed at the door of Qingzhu Residence with a knife full of ghostly qi.
“Boom！”
Although the barrier around Qingzhu Residence has not completely dissipated, its power has been much reduced, and it is not at all like before when it would hurt the changgui.
“The power of the barrier is indeed weakening.”
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the changgui.
“Little guy, this lord will guard here tonight. When the barrier completely dissipates, it will be your death date. At that time, you will surely taste what it means to be unable to live or die！”
He stood at the door of Qingzhu Residence and laughed loudly.
Just at this time, Xu Taiping, who had been continuously practicing for several days in the bedroom, opened his eyes.
At the moment of opening his eyes, the gray mist that had originally been lingering around his body suddenly condensed into ice, and even the bed beneath him was frozen in a large area.
“Condensing qi into ice, I have broken through to the Ice Formation Stage！”
Looking at the ice crystals swirling and dancing around his body, Xu Taiping’s eyes were filled with excitement.
After breaking through to the Ice Formation Stage of the Canxia Gong, he was eligible to break into the Open Door Realm.
More importantly, with this Canxia Condensing Ice Protecting True Qi, his chances of winning against that chang gui undoubtedly increased by several points.
