During the last full moon, although Xu Taiping didn’t say anything, his extremely weak state, as if on the verge of death, how could it escape Bai Yu’s eyes？
“Mm.” Xu Taiping nodded.
“Isn’t there any way to let me enter that Knife Domain together with Ping’an？” Bai Yu asked with eyes full of worry.
“Currently, there seems to be no way.” Xu Taiping shook his head.
If it were possible, he actually also really wanted to let Bai Yu and Ping’an help him, but that Knife Domain is completely under the control of the Knife Ghost, and he has no way to let Bai Yu and the others enter together.
Don’t worry, this time I’m prepared for nearly a month and will definitely not be as disheveled as last time.
Seeing the worry in Bai Yu’s eyes, Xu Taiping smiled and comforted him.
“Maybe this Demon-Slaying Knife can still give that Knife Ghost some surprises.”
He then placed his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist and shook it.
Seeing Xu Taiping’s eyes so calm, Bai Yu felt inexplicably a bit ashamed.
“Just be careful yourself. Tonight, I will keep watch for you.”
Bai Yu left this sentence and then flapped his wings and flew out. At the same time, he shouted to Ping’an outside the courtyard, “Little Ping’an, let’s go catch insects for the spiritual medicine together！”
“Okay, you’re not allowed to steal and eat！”
“You dead monkey, who stole and ate！”
Listening to the noise outside the courtyard, Xu Taiping had a sense of peace of mind for no reason.
“Even if I can’t win, don’t think about making my soul collapse. There are still so many things waiting for me to do.”
He stretched his slung and then walked towards Fan Tower again.
It’s time to practice the Danxia Gong.
……
Actually, Xu Taiping has had a relatively peaceful month.
The merit points and pills promised by the Six Peaks have all entered under his name.
Adding the merit points exchanged for those weapons picked up in the ruins, the total number of merit coins under his name has now reached more than five hundred thousand.
However, these merits come quickly and go quickly.
After purchasing the materials needed for several kinds of pills such as Bazhen Powder, Shouqi Pill, Kaiqiao Chongxue Decoction, and Juqi Pill for a month, he only has one hundred thousand merit coins left.
This Ghost-Sealing Talisman Bamboo Slip is simply a bottomless pit.
However, with the help of the Caohuan Dan, in this one month, the growth rate of his true essence is more than doubled, and his qi mansion has expanded by a full. At this rate, in at most one month, he will be able to reach the middle stage of Wangyou.
Precisely because of this, the speed at which the Ghost-Sealing Talisman consumes his qi and blood has now significantly slowed down.
This has reduced his pressure a lot and allowed him to focus on cultivation.
In addition, he still goes to Laoyue Pool to practice swordsmanship every day before dawn.
Just like before, San San Ju Shi still has no intention of showing up and still only points to him by leaving words on the wooden board.
However, during this period of time, because of his progress, the mistakes that the Third Three Hermit could pick out gradually decreased.
Of course, even so, Xu Taiping did not relax in the slightest and still seriously controlled the sword to engrave every word.
However, because of the increase in the speed of engraving words with the sword, the time he could spare became more.
So every time after practicing the sword, he would return to Qiyuexuan to take care of the medicine garden with Bai Yu’anping, have a meal together, and then spend one or two hours reading through the newly obtained techniques “Ends of the Earth and Close at Hand” and “Green Ox Great Sage Fist”, and then consolidate the “Crimson Crow Golden Flame Art” and several other techniques such as the clone technique.
The degree of abstruse of the secret body techniques “Ends of the Earth and Close at Hand” and” Green Ox Great Sage Fist” of Taixuanmen even exceeded that of the Demon-Slaying Saber, so Xu Taiping was not in a hurry to spend time practicing them and planned to read through the two techniques first.
Among these several techniques, the progress speed of his Crimson Crow Golden Flame Art was the fastest. He could already condense a ball of Crimson Crow Golden Flame within the time of a cup of tea, and the color of the flame had also improved a lot.
For him, the Crimson Crow Golden Flame Art could already truly be used as a trump card now.
Besides these, what Xu Taiping spent the most time practicing was naturally the Demon-Slaying Saber.
Different from the previous rough reading, during this one-month period, he had been intensively studying the first form of the Demon-Slaying Saber, “Singing Cicada”.
His performance when fighting against Bai Yu in the courtyard before was the result of his one-month practice.
But Xu Taiping was actually not very satisfied with this.
In his opinion, his move of Mingchan only had the form but not the spirit. It would take at least three months or even half a year of polishing to be able to fight against the Saber Ghost.
However, the full moon day has arrived, and he can only do it reluctantly.
“Actually, according to Sister Lingyue, fighting against the Saber Ghost in the Saber Domain is the best way to polish the saber technique. However, every time a saber is struck, one has to endure the pain of being cut to death by lingchi. The price and risk are really too great.”
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.
Even today, his four limbs and various internal organs still sometimes have phantom pains, which shows how terrible the Saber Ghost’s torture was that night.
“Don’t think so much. Just focus on dealing with tonight’s full moon night.”
Xu Taiping stood up from the meditation mat and then reached out and patted his own cheek to let himself put aside distractions and calm down.
At this time, he had circulated the Danxia Gong for several major weeks, and the true qi in the qi mansion was full. His blood qi in the body also, because of the improvement of the true essence in these days and the reason for taking the elixir on time, was completely no longer as weak as last time.
Overall, his state tonight was much better than that of a month ago.
“The time is almost here.”
Xu Taiping first looked at the moonlight outside the window, and then looked at the Ghost-Sealing Talisman that had automatically emerged in the palm of his hand, and then muttered.
Just like last time, strands of killing intent began to spill out from the Ghost-Sealing Talisman in his palm, Youdaoplaceholder0 spread in this stone room.
But compared to last time, Xu Taiping was much calmer tonight.
He ignored the killing intent spreading out from the Ghost-Sealing Talisman and instead opened the iron gourd and took out the Spring Tiger Saber from the gourd.
“Swish！”
But just as Xu Taiping picked up the Spring Tiger and was about to hang it on his waist, a green light flew out from the gourd and slapped on his chest with a “bang”.
Xu Taiping looked down and found that it was actually the Broken Water given by Senior Duan Tianya.
“Senior Broken Water, are you also going to help me deal with that Saber Ghost？”
He tentatively asked the Broken Water.
However, Broken Water did not respond and just lay quietly in his hand.
Xu Taiping reached out to draw the knife, wanting to see if he could draw out Broken Water, but the result was still the same as before, he couldn’t draw it out.
The reason he didn’t bring the Broken Water Saber last time was because he couldn’t draw it out.
“Forget it, take it in together.”
Xu Taiping didn’t think much about it and directly tucked Broken Water on the other side.
“Kid, we finally meet again！”
As the familiar old voice sounded, the scene around Xu Taiping began to be replaced by a blood-red scene bit by bit.
“Yeah, we meet again.”
Xu Taiping smiled and looked up, his gaze first looking at the Red-haired Saber Ghost in front of him.
Tonight, he was much calmer than before.
