“Oh…”
This sentence made Xu Taiping calm down all of a sudden.
Although because of the reason of his white bone qualification, his cultivation speed was very slow and he was in urgent need of improving his cultivation speed, but if it was really that dangerous, there would be no need to do it.
“The matter of this Fire Ganoderma is not urgent. The most urgent thing is to burn the seed first and make the Earth Fruit undergo the second transformation.”
Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping very seriously.
“I understand. Tomorrow I will use these merit coins to buy True Fire Talismans.”
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
Through this period of cultivation, he deeply felt the slowness of the white bone qualification in the cultivation speed, so now the Earth Fruit has become the key for him to break through the bottleneck.
……
A few days later.
In the evening.
“Xu Taiping, your things have arrived.”
Bai Yu flew and landed in front of the Green Bamboo Residence with a beautiful leather bag in its mouth.
“Here it comes.”
The voice of Xu Taiping sounded in the courtyard.
“Whoosh！ ……”
And almost at the same time as the voice sounded, Xu Taiping’s figure rushed out of the Green Bamboo Residence like a gust of wind.
“Wow, when did you kid learn this Wind Shadow Step？”
Bai Yu asked in surprise.
“Yesterday.”
Xu Taiping answered very straightforwardly.
This Wind Shadow Step was found by him from the pile of treasures collected by the tiger demon. Coincidentally, he lacked a body movement technique, so he learned it first.
“I don’t believe you at all.”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes at Xu Taiping.
“There are only two moves and it’s very simple.”
Xu Taiping walked forward helplessly.
The Wind Shadow Step is a fairly good movement technique in the Qingxuan Sect. Both outer and inner disciples can learn it. However, outer disciples can only practice the first two steps of the Wind Shadow Seven Steps. The cultivation method on this tiger demon comes from an outer disciple who died at its hands.
”Take it.”
Bai Yu flicked his mouth and threw the exquisite leather bag to Xu Taiping.
”Thank you.”
Xu Taiping reached out and caught it.
”Little Taiping, I’m afraid you’ve reaped a lot of benefits from that tiger demon？ Now you actually dare to buy things in the Tianbao Pavilion.”
Bai Yu smiled and teased ed Xu Taiping.
The Tianbao Pavilion is the place where the Qingxuan Sect sells magic tools and treasures. However, the prices are very high, and there are not many things that can be sold to outer disciples. So very few outer disciples will buy things there.
”Indeed, I earned some.”
Xu Taiping smiled and scratched his head.
Seeing Xu Taiping being so honest, Bai Yu instead lost the interest in continuing to joke with him. Immediately, he flapped his wings and said, “Little Taiping, I still have something to give away, so I won’t bother you anymore. Come to your house to eat roast lamb another day when I’m free.”
”Okay. When you’re free, you can use your feathers as a letter and let me know in advance.”
Xu Taiping nodded and readily agreed.
”Good.”
Bai Yu responded, then suddenly flapped his wings and leaped into the air.
……
”Sister Lingyue, the True Fire Talisman has arrived.”
As soon as Bai Yu left, Xu Taiping returned to the courtyard like a gust of wind, closed the courtyard door, and while shouting for Fairy Lingyue, he walked towards the backyard.
What he bought from Tianbao Pavilion this time was exactly the True Fire Talisman used for the burning of the Earth Fruit Seed.
Although it was the weakest kind of True Fire, its power was far inferior to that of the Samadhi True Fire, but the price was not low. It cost him a full two thousand one hundred merit coins.
If it weren’t for the treasures of the tiger demon, he estimated that would only be able to gather so many merit coins after going up to the Seventh Peak.
“This kind of True Fire Talisman of this grade actually dares to sell for two thousand one hundred merit coins. It seems that Tianbao Pavilion deliberately doesn’t want to sell things to outer disciples.”
Fairy Lingyue only took a look and then had a rough understanding of the strength of the True Fire Talisman in Xu Taiping’s hand.
“Can it be used to burn the seed？”
Xu Taiping asked somewhat worriedly.
It can grudgingly be used for the first burning of the seed.
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
“That’s good.”
Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
Unlike Fairy Lingyue, in the face of such unfair things, he has been used to them since childhood, so he doesn’t think there is anything.
“Before burning the seed, we still have to prepare some things. Come with me.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.
“Hmm.”
Xu Taiping nodded and followed.
……
Late at night.
The medicine garden of Qingzhu Residence.
“Boom！ ……”
Xu Taiping once again activated the magic weapon pill cauldron obtained from the changgui, and then put the diguodouqi dug out from the ground into it.
“Next, activate the True Fire Talisman and then put it into the furnace cauldron.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded at Xu Taiping.
“Hmm.”
Without saying a word, Xu Taiping took out the True Fire Talisman that he had exchanged for two thousand merit coins, then injected a strand of spiritual energy into the talisman, and then threw it into the alchemy furnace.
“Boom！”
The fire yuan power in the True Fire Talisman was suddenly released, turning into a scarlet and hot flame that rushed out of the alchemy furnace.
Even though he had already retreated one zhang away, Xu Taiping could still feel the huge fire yuan in the scarlet flame. Even with the protection of the Canxia True Qi, his cheeks were still roasted painfully.
“Although the First True Fire is far inferior to the Samadhi True Fire and the Liushen True Fire, it is the Nemesis of demons like the changgui. Even that demon tiger can’t stay in this kind of flame for too long.
When the true fire in the furnace began to burn the diguodouqi, Fairy Lingyue took the opportunity to explain the knowledge of the true fire to Xu Taiping.
“When my cultivation advances further, can I also refine the First True Fire？”
Xu Taiping looked at the soaring flame in the alchemy furnace with some eagerness in his eyes.
“When you cultivate the Canxia Gong to the third level and achieve great success in the Kai Men Realm, you should almost be able to do it.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
Cultivating the Canxia Gong to the third level is actually one of the signs of achieving great success in the Kai Men Realm. By then, Xu Taiping will be able to freely control the Canxia True Qi.
“The third level…”
Xu Taiping muttered to himself.
A few days ago, he just exchanged the second-level cultivation method of the Canxia Gong from the bronze mirror and has not yet fully mastered it. The accidental self-generation of spiritual energy when he broke through the Kai Men Realm earlier was just a coincidence.
More importantly, the third level of the Canxia Gong can only be exchanged by inner disciples.
So if he wants to make further progress, he must pass the selection of the seven peaks two years later.
“I wonder if Sister Linglong and Brother Qingxiao still remember me.”
He suddenly thought of Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao who brought him up the mountain.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Just then, the alchemy furnace suddenly let out a slight tremor and hum. Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping only saw that the originally scarlet flame suddenly turned pure cyan.
“Don’t worry, this is the transformation of the Earth Tibetan Fruit. Wait until the cyan flame extinguishes, and the seed of the Earth Fruit will mature.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately relaxed.
Sure enough, not long after, the cyan flame went out.
Just as Xu Taiping was about to take out the Earth Store Fruit from the alchemy furnace, the furnace suddenly “clicked” and broke into two halves.
”This alchemy furnace is just a low-grade magic weapon and can’t withstand the burning of the true fire. Sister will help you find a better one in the future.”
Seeing the look of regret on Xu Taiping’s face, Fairy Lingyue immediately smiled and comforted him again.
”Well, we will definitely be able to find a better one！”
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
Then he pushed aside the fragments of the alchemy furnace and carefully searched inside. Finally, he found a seed in the ashes.
”This… it kind of looks like the gourd seed I planted when I was a child.”
Xu Taiping said in surprise, pinching the ordinary-looking seed.
”That’s right. The second transformation of the Earth Store Fruit after the seed is burned is the Gourd Fruit.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded with a smile.
