　　“Sister Lingyue, all the medicinal materials have been put into the medicine cauldron.”
　　Xu Taiping turned his head to look at Fairy Lingyue with a hint of excitement in his eyes at this time.
　　“Well done. Now we just need to maintain the temperature of the furnace fire. After half an hour of guarding, the pill will be completed.”
　　Fairy Lingyue immediately recovered her mind and nodded with a smile at Xu Taiping.
　　“Since I can’t recognize a disciple, it’s not bad to recognize a cute younger brother.”
　　Looking at Xu Taiping who was conscientiously guarding the furnace fire according to her requirements, the corners of Fairy Lingyue’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a warm smile.
　　……
　　Half an hour later.
　　“Boom…”
Xu Taiping stood on tiptoe and opened the lid of the medicine cauldron with both hands. The hot air in the cauldron rose up and turned into a cloud of white mist, spreading out in the backyard.
　　“Sister Lingyue, two pills have been successfully refined！”
　　By the moonlight, Xu Taiping was pleasantly surprised to find that among several masses of black medicinal residues, two vermilion pills with a warm and jade-like luster were quietly lying there.
　　”Actually two pills were formed？”
　　Fairy Lingyue was also pleasantly surprised.
　　Although she rarely refined such low-level pills, according to her experience, with the quality of the medicinal materials Xu Taiping bought, it would be good enough to form one pill.
　　”It seems that the little guy really has a talent for alchemy. The secret methods in the sect cannot be taught to him for the time being, but there is no problem with some pill formulas. Moreover, if I want to restore my cultivation base, I also need the assistance of an alchemist.”
　　She secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would cultivate Xu Taiping in the direction of an alchemist in the future.
　　”Sister Lingyue, what’s wrong with you？”
　　Seeing that Fairy Lingyue was distracted, Xu Taiping immediately called out to her softly.
　　”Oh, I was thinking that the remaining Gathering Qi Pill can just be left for you to deal with that tiger demon.”
　　Fairy Lingyue lowered her head and looked at the two Gathering Qi Pills in Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　”Can the Gathering Qi Pill also be used to deal with the tiger demon？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
　　”The Gathering Qi Pill can provide you with a huge amount of spiritual power in a short time. When it is converted into true energy, it is equivalent to having an extra dantian, allowing you to exercise some spells beyond your current realm, for example…”
　　Having explained up to here, Fairy Lingyue looked up at the moon and tried hard to recall for a while, and then looked down at Xu Taiping again and said, “For example, it can cooperate with your Canxia Gong to use the Bingxi Jue that only those who have achieved great success in the Kai Men Realm can normally exercise . This Bingxi Jue can turn exhaled breath into ice. Even with your current cultivation base, as long as you cooperate with the Juqi Dan to exercise it, you can freeze all the things in an area of more than ten zhang square within one breath.”
　　“Including that tiger demon？”
　　Xu Taiping asked excitedly.
“Although this Bingxi Jue is not an unpassed secret technique, in your cultivation world, as long as there is no advance prevention, even an opponent one realm higher than you will still be affected.
　　Fairy Lingyue nodded very affirmatively.
　　“Sister Lingyue, when I break through the Kai Men Realm, please be sure to teach me the Bingxi Jue！”
　　Xu Taiping requested of Fairy Lingyue with shining eyes.
　　“Of course I am willing to teach you if you are willing to learn. Don’t forget, you and I are partners now.”
　　Fairy Lingyue touched Xu Taiping’s little head and smiled faintly at him.
　　This Bingxi Jue was barely considered a Xuan-rank technique in her original cultivation world. What liked to use it the most were some casual cultivators. Most of the disciples of the sect had better choices, not to mention the sect she was in, so there was no need to worry about revealing her identity because of this.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　Xu Taiping returned to the bedroom and prepared to break through the Kai Men Realm.
　　The remnant soul of Fairy Lingyue was also in the room at this moment.
　　“Little Taiping, relax a bit. You have two Qi Condensing Pills in your hand now, and there is no way you can’t break through to the Open Door Realm.”
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping’s expression was tense, Fairy Lingyue smiled and motioned for him to relax a bit and not be so nervous.
　　“Hmm.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded heavily, then closed his eyes and let out a long breath of turbid air from his chest with a “whoosh”.
　　“Sister Lingyue, I’m already ready.”
　　Xu Taiping opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Lingyue.
　　“Then take the Qi Condensing Pill and break through.”
　　Fairy　Lingyue　nodded.
　　She saw that Xu Taiping’s expression was obviously much more relaxed at this time, and her heart was greatly relieved.
　　“Gulu…”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate any longer. He stuffed the Qi Condensing Pill into his mouth and swallowed it directly.
The pill melted as soon as it entered the mouth. Xu Taiping didn’t even have time to feel what it was like. He only felt that a fragrance was spreading in his body and then drilled out through his nostrils.
　　“Weng　weng　weng…”
　　And when Xu Taiping started to operate the Canxia Gong, following a hum in his ears, the medicinal power of the Qi-Gathering Pill suddenly took effect. Streams of surging spiritual power, guided by the Canxia Gong, were extremely rapidly transformed into Canxia True Qi, rushing towards the meridians of his whole body like a surging river, violently impacting on various acupoints.
　　Several acupoints that originally required him to expend a huge amount of strength to be opened were actually opened by him within a few breaths this time.
　　“The first step to break through to the Open Door Realm is to push open all the acupoints in the body. The second step is to operate the Canxia Gong, guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body with the acupoints in the body, and finally converge in the dantian, push open the wall of the dantian, and turn the dantian into a sea of qi.”
　　While fully operating the Canxia Gong, Xu Taiping silently recited in his heart the essentials of breaking through to the Open Door Realm taught by True Monarch Ziyang that day, on how to turn the small dantian like a fishpond into a sea of qi.
　　If this step cannot be achieved, throughout one’s life, the greatest achievement will also be that of a warrior who only knows how to fight with fists and feet.
　　“Boom！”
　　With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping did not hesitate to mobilize the true qi guided by the acupoints in his body and began to make the first impact on the small dantian. The Canxia Body-Protecting True Qi suddenly spread out from his whole body without warning.
　　“Uh！…”
But followed, is a burst of excruciating pain. Xu Taiping felt as if his scalp was being torn off piece by piece. and the pain was several times more intense than when he was soaked in the Marrow Cleansing Soup that day.
Even someone as resolute as him eventually succumbed to this pain. The huge amount of True Qi that he had gathered suddenly dispersed into clouds of smoke.
　　“Xu Taiping, this is the price of cultivating with a mortal bone. If you can’t even endure this bit of pain, I think you might as well give up as soon as possible！”
　　Fairy Lingyue deliberately provoked Xu Taiping.
　　How could she not know the pain that Xu Taiping was facing at this moment？
　　But she also understood even more how cruel the Heavenly Dao was to a mortal bone. Even if you set foot on the path of cultivation, as long as there was the slightest bit of slack or timidity in the future, what you would face would be a hundred times more painful than today.
　　So in her opinion, even if Xu Taiping failed to break through, he must never bow his head to this pain.
　　However, her worry was obviously unnecessary.
　　After failing to break through for the first time, Xu Taiping immediately began his second attempt.
　　He endured the pain that still hadn’t completely dissipated and continued to channel True Qi from various acupoints. He was calm and skillful. In the eyes of Fairy Lingyue beside him, Xu Taiping at this moment didn’t look like a teenager at all.
