　　”Hmm.”
　　Even if Fairy Lingyue didn’t say it, Xu Taiping himself also wanted to try the magical power of this ring.
　　Immediately, he began to follow the usage of the ring that he had just sensed with his divine soul. While injecting his true essence into the ring, he pointed a finger upwards.
　　His fingertip pointed straight at a cloud that was trying to cover the moon above his head.
　　“Boom！ …”
　　The next moment, with just a thought in Xu Taiping’s mind, a brilliant light flickered at his fingertip. A spiral wind blade condensed from pure astral energy, like a long spear, broke through the air and rushed straight towards the cloud hundreds of feet above the sky.
　　“Bang！”
　　A moment later, a slight tremor sound came from the air.
　　Then Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue saw that the dark cloud that had originally blocked the moon was directly pierced through by Xu Taiping’s finger.
　　Through the hole in the cloud, the two of them could just see the bright moon in the sky.
　　“This strike, I’m afraid that even that striped python couldn’t take it, right？”
　　Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue’s eyes lit up.
　　“One finger is the power to break through armor, then two fingers should be the ability to fight against many with one. Taiping, quickly try two fingers.”
　　She urged Xu Taiping with a bit of curiosity.
　　“Okay.”
　　Xu Taiping was also very curious.
　　“Uh …”
　　However, just as Xu Taiping extended two fingers and was about to snap his fingers according to the operation method sensed by his soul, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
　　“The true qi seems to have been consumed completely.”
　　He sensed it with his soul and only then discovered that the true qi in his dantian had long been completely consumed when he just released the power of one finger.
　　“Sister Lingyue, it seems that with my meager spiritual power, I can at most release the offensive power of the Azure Luan Ring once.”
　　Xu Taiping sighed with some regret.
　　“There is no need to be discouraged. Even if it can only be used once, you don’t have to be afraid of most of the monsters in the mountains anymore. If you can refine a few more Qi Gathering Pills, you should be able to use it several more times. Moreover, judging from the current situation, your current cultivation level cannot yet exert the full power of one finger. Maybe after you break through to the Wangyou Realm, the power of this finger will be even stronger.”
　　Fairy Lingyue shook her head with a smile.
　　She was very satisfied with the lethality of the Azure Luan Ring.
　　“I also think so.”
　　There was full anticipation in Xu Taiping’s eyes.
　　“You should also keep this iron gourd well. The three gourds of the Earth Fruit Second Transformation all have their own uses. The green gourd has its own world, and even without the Dragon Gallstone, the fire gourd can still nourish pills. And this iron gourd can nourish weapons. Even if an ordinary weapon is placed in it and nourished for a year or two, its quality will be improved by several percent, not to mention spiritual weapons such as flying swords.”
　　Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping about the uses of these three gourds.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t expect that these three gourds themselves were actually all treasures, and immediately put the fire gourd and the iron gourd into the green gourd.
　　“Then can I do the weapon business in the future？”
　　Xu Taiping suddenly had a whim and asked Fairy Lingyue.
　　“At present, your iron gourd can only raise one weapon at most. It has to be warmed and nourished by your true essence to gradually improve its ability so that it can raise more weapons. So it is still too early to use this gourd to do the weapon business.”
　　Fairy Lingyue didn’t completely deny Xu Taiping’s proposal. After all, the matter of cultivation, the more advanced it is, the more natural treasures are needed, and the more wealth on the body, the better.
　　“Well, I see. Then for the time being, I can only use it to raise the Azure Luan Ring.”
　　Xu Taiping wasn’t discouraged by this, but instead became more determined to improve his cultivation.
　　“By the way, Sister Lingyue, I want to go to Taoyuan Ridge tomorrow.”
　　After putting away the gourd, Xu Taiping raised his head and looked at Fairy Lingyue with a very serious expression.
　　“Go ahead.”
　　This time Fairy Lingyue agreed very readily.
　　In her opinion, no matter what the other party actually wanted to do, it was a good experience for Xu Taiping.
　　As for whether there will be any danger, in the view of Fairy Lingyue, with the Azure Luan Ring, as long as one doesn’t encounter cultivators above the Wangyou Realm, there will be no life-threatening danger.
　　As for cultivators above the Wangyou Realm, where would they have the leisure to deal with a small outer sect cultivator？
　　“And if it really can’t be dealt with, there’s still me, your sister.”
　　Fairy Lingyue muttered to herself in her heart.
　　After the second transformation of the Earth Fruit, her divine soul can already exert a part of her original power by possessing others.
　　Of course, Xu Taiping doesn’t know these things, and she doesn’t want Xu Taiping to know either.
　　……
　　The　next　day.
　　Taoyuan Ridge.
　　Although the scenery in this place is not bad, there are really too many fierce beasts and poisonous things in the mountains. Xu Taiping always detours when hunting, so this is the first time he has come here.
　　And when Xu Taiping entered a peach grove, he saw a small courtyard in the center of the peach grove at a glance.
This courtyard is not big, almost the same as his Green Bamboo Residence, but both the wall and the bricks and tiles are much newer, and it is obvious at a glance that it is a new courtyard.
　　“Since Little Friend Taiping has come, why not come in and have a chat？”
　　Xu Taiping originally wanted to observe in the west perimeter first before going in, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived, he was discovered by the people in the courtyard.
　　“Then this junior will bother you.”
　　He didn’t hesitate either. His feet lightly tapped on the ground, and immediately his figure leaped up lightly. In the blink of an eye, he had already landed at the entrance of the small courtyard.
　　Looking up, there were three big characters written at the entrance of the small courtyard — “Guest—retaining Residence.”
　　Xu Taiping took a light glance at the plaque and then murmured in his heart, “Today, you can’t keep anyone.”
　　”Creak…”
　　Just then, the door of the small courtyard was opened.
　　The ones who opened the door were two charming girls.
　　”Mr. Xu, please come in.”
　　”Our master has been waiting for you in the house for a long time.”
　　The two girls invited Xu Taiping into the courtyard with charming smiles.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and directly stepped into the courtyard. However, one of his hands that shrank into his sleeve had already pinched a Golden Bell Talisman.
　　He still had several talismans left that he got from the tiger demon.
　　”Little friend Taiping has come, and Yuan has failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me.”
　　When about to enter the main room of the small courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar came out of the room with a smile on his face and made a gesture for Xu Taiping to enter the room.
　　Xu Taiping stopped and had no intention of walking forward.
　　”I wonder what your senior’s name is.”
　　He asked in a calm tone while staring at the man.
　　”My surname is Jian and my name is Yuan, with the courtesy name Yashan. Everyone in the Yunlou Club likes to call me Mr. Yashan.”
　　The middle-aged man stroked his beard and replied with a smile.
　　“I see that Mr. Yashan is also a reasonable person. Why did you take my monkey away for no reason?”
　　Xu Taiping asked straightforwardly.
　　“Hehe.”
　　Mr. Yashan smiled happily when he heard this, and then shook his hand again and again to explain：
　　“Little friend Taiping misunderstood. I just think your monkey is very cute, and it likes the spiritual fruits in my garden, so I want to take it to play for a few days.”
　　Such baseless words were said by this person in a high-sounding manner.
　　“Since I’m here, please hand over that monkey to me, Mr. Yashan.”
Xu Taiping didn’t get angry because of this person’s blatant lies. Instead, he Quietly looked at Mr. Yashan and reached out one hand.
