“Thank you, Sister Lingyue.”
Xu Taiping was very much looking forward to this set of emperor’s body forging method that Fairy Lingyue had mentioned before.
“By the way, I heard that as long as you become a disciple of the Seven Peaks, you will have the opportunity to go to the Tianbao Pavilion to select cultivation techniques.”
He continued to say.
”Choose a cultivation method？ This can be left to your sister. Other than that, in terms of vision, even your sect leader may not be as good as me.”
The Fairy Lingyue said very confidently.
”That’s natural.”
Xu Taiping recognized this. The longer he got along with her, the more he could discover the unfathomable cultivation level the Fairy Lingyue had in the past.
”However, before this Seven Peaks Competition, I still want to cultivate another magical technique just in case.”
At this time, he suddenly took out the bronze mirror, then found the catalog of magical techniques that outer sect disciples could cultivate in it, and then looked at the Fairy Lingyue and said, “Sister Lingyue, you also help me take a look.”
During the Seven Peaks Selection, he naturally couldn’t use the Ice Breath Art and the Azure Luan Ring. Otherwise, the secret of the Earth Fruit would be easily discovered by others.
”Okay, let me take a look.”
Upon hearing this, the Fairy Lingyue leaned over to him and sat down beside him at the stone table.
”It seems that there are not many magical techniques that your outer sect disciples can cultivate, and most of them are the wood and water elements, which have the weakest killing power among the five elements. But it doesn’t matter. The killing power of the Green Ox Fist plus the Thousand-layer Strength is enough among the cultivators at your stage. You just need to choose an auxiliary magical technique…”
The Fairy Lingyue was whispering while seriously selecting.
”Taiping, which one did you choose yourself？”
After a while, the Fairy Lingyue seemed to have a choice in her heart, but she didn’t say it out. Instead, she wanted to listen to Xu Taiping’s first.
“If it were up to me to choose, it should be the Borrowing Fog Technique.”
Xu Taiping thought for a while and replied.
Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue’s mouth curved slightly.
“Why choose this Borrowing Fog Technique？”
She then asked with a smile.
Obviously, she wanted to test Xu Taiping.
“According to the description of the technique in the bronze mirror, this Borrowing Fog Technique only requires holding a mouthful of clear water in the mouth and using spiritual power to activate it, then one can spit out fog and instantly cover a ten-zhang-square area in fog, making the opponent lose their bearings.”
“Seemingly a minor technique, but it can give me an advantage in battle and is very suitable for my current quick battle and quick decision-making combat method.”
“In addition, in the future when fighting against the enemy, if I am at a disadvantage, I can also use this method in conjunction with the Ice Breath Technique to escape.”
Xu Taiping explained to Fairy Lingyue.
At present, the martial skills he has cultivated, the Green Ox Fist and the Seven Kills Saber, are both martial skills that substitute offense for defense. Once he fails to knock down the opponent with one blow, he will easily fall into a passive position when the opponent counterattacks. With the Borrowing Fog Technique, it can just make up for some deficiencies.
Especially in the upcoming Seven Peaks Selection, he can’t exercise the Ice Breath Technique and use the Azure Luan Ring.
“Very good.”
Fairy Lingyue was very satisfied with Xu Taiping’s explanation.
“Could it be that Sister Lingyue, you also chose this Borrowing Fog Technique？”
Xu Taiping asked happily.
“That’s right.”
Fairy Lingyue nodded, and then explained to Xu Taiping：
“Besides the two points you just mentioned, the reason I chose this technique is that although this technique seems useless, it is actually derived from an ancient technique with a great background.”
“What ancient technique？”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately became energetic.
“The Five Elements Escape Technique.”
Fairy Lingyue replied.
“The Five Elements Escape Technique？”
Xu Taiping had never seen this name in the technique list of Qingxuan Sect.
“The Five Elements Escape Technique is divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Among them, the Borrowing Fog Technique is derived from the Fog Escape Technique in the Water Element Escape Technique.”
“And the real Fog Escape Technique is not simply using the fog to block the eyes, but completely hiding one’s figure and breath in the fog. Even the souls of high-level cultivators cannot sense it, and in the fog, you can walk freely and kill invisible.”
Fairy Lingyue introduced to Xu Taiping.
“This Borrowing Fog Technique is actually derived from such a powerful technique.”
Xu Taiping was a little surprised.
“I happen to know this technique too. When the time comes, you first learn the Borrowing Fog Technique, and then I will teach you how to gradually perfect it into the real Fog Escape Technique.”
Fairy Lingyue said with anticipation in her eyes.
Now, she, who is suffering from soul damage, likes to see the thing that Xu Taiping becomes stronger little by little under her teaching the most.
“Then I will choose this Borrowing Fog Technique！”
Xu Taiping is also very happy.
And at this time, there is still one or two months left before the Seven Peaks Selection, and it is no problem to learn a superficial technique.
“I don’t know how Sister Linglong and Brother Qingxiao have been doing in these three years, and whether they still remember me.”
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Xu Taiping muttered to himself.
He suddenly recalled the scene when he was brought into Yunlu Mountain by Linglong and Qingxiao, and later Linglong deliberately placed him in Qingzhu Residence.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be long before you can practice on the Seven Peaks together.”
Fairy Lingyue gently patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder.
“Hmm.”
Xu Taiping nodded, feeling that he should also fulfill the promise he made to Linglong and Qingxiao three years ago – win the selection and climb the Seven Peaks.
Immediately, he shook his head, got up and walked towards the backyard, starting the daily practice.
In these two years, because of the gentian wine he can almost do without sleep and rest. It is precisely because of this that he has more cultivation time than ordinary people.
But even the longdan wine can get rid of the fatigue and pain on his body when he practices. so the time he endures pain and fatigue is also twice, or even three times, four times that of ordinary people.
Even so, Xu Taiping didn’t skip a day.
Those who work hard will be rewarded by heaven.
Looking at Xu Taiping continuously repeating the actions of swinging and drawing his saber in the backyard, Immortal Lingyue muttered a sentence in her mouth.
……
Two months later.
The seventh peak of Yunlu Mountain.
Senior Brother, Senior Brother！
On the Hongyu Bridge of the fairyland-like seventh peak, a Girl wearing a red dress, like a red cloud, flew over the arch bridge and rushed straight to a floating sword-testing platform at the other end of the arch bridge.
Linglong, I’ve told you many times that Chenshi is the time for me to nourish my sword. Don’t come up.
On the sword-nourishing platform, a handsome young man in a green shirt opened his eyes and stood up. A flying sword that was originally swirling above his head turned into a streamer and “whooshed” into his chest.
These two people were none other than Zhao Linglong and Du Gu Qingxiao who had led Xu Taiping into the sect that day.
Senior Brother, he, he, he is still alive！
Linglong excitedly raised a scroll in her hand.
He？ Who？
Qingxiao was completely confused.
Xu Taiping！
Linglong shouted out the name she had held in for a long time.
Is it the Xu Taiping from Qingniu Village？
Qingxiao was also shocked when he heard this.
