A moment later.
“Ta, Taiping-ge.”
Duan Xiaoyu, whose face was as white as paper, came to Xu Taiping somewhat embarrassed. Her hands were rubbing not stopping in her sleeves. and she didn’t have the slightest courage she had when she dared to fight against Murong Song and the others alone before.
“Are you all right？”
Xu Taiping put away the token for communicating with the Yellow Sparrow, and then turned to look at Duan Xiaoyu.
“Mm, mm！”
Duan Xiaoyu nodded somewhat embarrassed, and then turned to look westward and searched.
“Are you looking for this？”
Xu Taiping handed a beautiful long knife with a red sandalwood scabbard and a handle wrapped in white sharkskin to Duan Xiaoyu.
“Mm！”
Duan Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, carefully took the knife from Xu Taiping’s hand, and then hugged it with both hands. The timidity on her face also disappeared completely, and even her delicate willow-leaf eyebrows suddenly gained a bit more heroism.
“It’s called Vermilion Bird. The blade was hammered out by my father one hammer at a time, and the scabbard was made by my mother herself.”
She said with a bit of pride on her face.
“It’s a very beautiful knife.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“It’s not just beautiful！”
Duan Xiaoyu didn’t seem to like the word beautiful very much.
But after saying this, she seemed to feel that she was a bit out of line, and immediately turned her head away with a look of embarrassment.
Xu Taiping took a deep look at Duan Xiaoyu and said nothing, just stood up silently.
“Are you leaving？”
Duan Xiaoyu asked somewhat vigilantly.
“Well, I’m leaving. There’s something I need to do.”
Xu Taiping nodded and tied the Chunhu Knife around his waist.
“What are your plans？”
After tying the knife, he then turned to look at Duan Xiaoyu.
“I… I’m going to find Murong Song and avenge my brother.”
Duan Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, and finally said with firm eyes.
Xu Taiping was a bit surprised by Duan Xiaoyu’s answer.
“You must think I want to rely on you, right？”
The sensitive Duan Xiaoyu perceived the surprise in Xu Taiping’s eyes.
“If you want to come with me, it’s not impossible.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaoyu was first stunned, and then shook her head vigorously and said：
“Although following you, Taiping-gege, might be a bit safer, but I can’t. Relying on you all the time, in the end, I would surely even lose the courage to avenge my elder brother.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded and said：
“Alright, then we’ll part ways here.”
Duan Xiaoyu clearly didn’t expect Xu Taiping to agree so straightforwardly.
For a moment, she actually didn’t know how to respond.
“Oh, by the way, take this.”
When about to go downstairs, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped and threw a small porcelain bottle to Duan Xiaoyu.
“What’s this？”
Duan Xiaoyu looked at the rough small porcelain bottle with some doubts.
“There are three pills inside that can restore true qi.”
After throwing out this sentence, Xu Taiping walked quickly downstairs without looking back.
“Thank you, Taiping-gege！”
When Xu Taiping reached downstairs, Duan Xiaoyu finally reacted.
“Although Taiping-gege looks cold, in fact, he is actually a warm-hearted person.”
While saying this, she casually threw a pill into her mouth.
Her true qi had originally been completely depleted, so she just took a pill to supplement it.
Moreover, she actually wasn’t particularly short of pills, so she didn’t take the pill given to her by Xu Taiping too seriously, just regarded it as an ordinary pill to supplement true qi.
“Huh？”
However, as soon as this pill entered her stomach, she felt something was wrong.
Ordinary true qi replenishing pills mostly accelerate the recovery speed of true yuan, but this pill directly pours true yuan into your body.
More importantly, it can make the true qi in your body skyrocket to twice the current amount.
“I, I, I… A elixir was wasted in vain!
Duan Xiaoyu had a face full of helplessness and frustration.
Using such a spiritual pill to restore true yuan is simply a waste of natural resources.
……
One hour later.
Songlin Valley.
“Click, click…”
With the sound of the mechanism turning, a cyan light pillar shot up into the sky, tearing open a hole in the dark sky. and the sunlight shone in followed .
But soon, the surging demonic energy came swarming again, and the canopy closed again, and the cyan light pillar dissipated.
Looking at this scene, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, he was in the abandoned well of a manor in Songlin Valley, stepping on a compass with almost illegible handwriting.
“The eye of the formation in Songlin Valley has been opened. Next, there are still two places left, Dicui Cliff and Bingying Cave.”
He picked up the communication order given by Jiufu and looked at it again.
I saw that there was still a message finally sent by the Yellow Sparrow on it——
“Separate and head to Pine Forest Valley, Verdant Drop Cliff, and Ice Crystal Cave, open the teleportation array eyes hidden within them, and we will be able to enter the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven from the outside world without being restricted by age and cultivation level. At the same time, the teleportation scrolls in your hands can also be used within the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven.”
“In addition, there are also several junior brothers of the Xiaoyao Sect who are trapped. If you meet them, you can report my name and take care of each other.”
Apart from these two sentences, the Yellow Sparrow also sent the specific method of opening the array eyes, and the steps were very clear.
According to what the Yellow Sparrow said, if it wasn’t for the critical moment, the Jade Green Layman wouldn’t have planned to reveal the locations of these several array eyes, let alone how to open these array eyes.
“There are so many things in these nine mansions. I have to ask for more money later.”
Xu Taiping whispered and teased, and put away the message talisman.
Fortunately, Pine Forest Valley is not far from Starfall Lake, and on the way here, he also collected the medicinal materials needed to refine the Resurrection Pill and Qi Gathering Pill, so the time wasted is not too much.
One point that gave him a very headache was that whether it was Pine Forest Valley where he was now or Verdant Drop Cliff and Ice Crystal Cave that he was going to next, there were several ancient fierce beasts sleeping beneath them.
Although fierce beasts are not as terrifying as wild beasts, if they really encounter one, according to Sister Lingyue’s calculation, the best situation would be a lose-lose situation.
So every step Xu Taiping takes now is like stepping on the tip of a knife.
“Bang！ ……”
“Zheng！”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to go up, a burst of fighting sounds suddenly came from outside the well.
Xu Taiping immediately became alert and took out a gray cloth from the green gourd. As he injected spiritual energy into it, the gray cloth quickly enlarged.
