Mortal bone

During the last full moon, although Xu Taiping didn't say anything, how could his state of being as weak as dying escape Bai Yu's eyes?

"En." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Is there no way for me to enter the sword domain with Ping An?" Bai Yu asked with worried eyes.

"At present, it seems that there is no way." Xu Taiping shook his head.

If possible, he actually wanted Bai Yu and Pingan to help him, but the sword domain was under the control of the sword ghost, and he couldn't let Bai Yu and the others go in together.

"Don't worry, I've been preparing for this time for nearly a month, and I'm sure I won't be as embarrassed as last time."

Seeing Bai Yu's eyes full of worry, Xu Taiping smiled and comforted him.

"Maybe this Demon Slaying Knife can give the sword ghost some surprises."

He then held the handle of the knife at his waist and shook it.

Seeing Xu Taiping's calm eyes, Bai Yu inexplicably felt a little ashamed.

"Just be careful yourself, I will help you watch the night tonight."

Bai Yu dropped this sentence, then flew out with fluttering wings, and at the same time shouted at Ping An outside the courtyard: "Xiao Ping An, let's catch insects for the elixir together!"

"Okay, you are not allowed to steal it!"

"You dead monkey, who stole it!"

Listening to the noise outside the courtyard, Xu Taiping somehow felt a sense of peace of mind.

"Even if I can't win, don't let me break down. There are so many things waiting for me to do."

He stretched, and then walked towards Fan Lou again.

It's time to practice Danxia Gong.

……

In fact, this month Xu Taiping lived quite peacefully.

The merit points and elixirs promised by Liufeng have all entered his name.

Including the merit points exchanged for the weapons picked up in the ruins, the total number of merit coins under his name is now more than 50.

But these merits come and go quickly.

After purchasing the ingredients needed for a month's worth of elixirs such as Bazhen San, Shouqi Pill, Kaiqiao Chongxue Soup, Juqi Pill, etc., he only had [-] merit coins left.

This ghost talisman is simply a bottomless pit.

However, with the help of Cao Huan Dan, in this one month, his true energy more than doubled, and his Qi Palace doubled. At this speed, at most one month, he will be able to reach the Wang You's Zhongcheng.

Because of this, the speed at which the ghost sealing talisman consumes his blood has also slowed down significantly.

This relieved him a lot of pressure, allowing him to concentrate on his cultivation.

In addition, every day before dawn, he would go to Yueyuetan to practice his sword.

As before, Layman Sansan still didn't intend to show up, and still only gave him pointers by leaving words on the wooden board.

However, during this period of time, because of his diligence, the number of mistakes Sansan Layman can pick out has gradually decreased.

Of course, even so, Xu Taiping did not relax in the slightest, he still carefully carved every word with his sword.

However, because Yu Jian's lettering speed has increased, he has more time left.

So every time after practicing the sword, he would go back to Qiyuexuan to manage the medicine garden with Bai Yupingan, have a meal together, and then start to spend an hour or two reading through the newly acquired exercises "The End of the World", "The Great Sacred Fist of the Green Bull" ", and then consolidate the "Chiwu Golden Flame Jue" and the clone technique and other exercises.

The Taixuan sect's secret movements "The End of the World" and "The Great Sacred Fist of the Green Bull" are even more obscure than the Devil Slaying Knife, so Xu Taiping is not in a hurry to spend time practicing, and plans to combine the two exercises first. Read it through and say it again.

Among these techniques, his Chiwujinyan Jue has the fastest entry speed, and he has already been able to condense a group of Chiwujin fireworks within the time of a cup of tea, and the quality of the flames has also improved a lot.

For him, now the Chiwu Golden Flame Jue can really be used as a trump card.

Apart from these, what Xu Taiping spends the most time practicing is naturally the Demon Slaying Saber.

Different from the previous superficial reading, during this month, he has been intensively studying the first move of the Demon Slaying Knife, "Ming Chan".

His previous performance in the fight against Bai Yu in the courtyard was his achievement in the past month.

But Xu Taiping was actually not very satisfied with this.

In his opinion, his style of Maemi has only form but no spirit, and it will take at least three months or even half a year to polish it before he can fight the sword ghost.

But the full moon has come, and he can only drive the ducks to the shelves.

"Actually, according to Sister Lingyue, fighting that sword ghost in the sword domain is the best way to hone your sword skills, but every time you make a sword, you have to bear the pain of Ling Chi's death. The price and risk are too great gone."

Xu Taiping smiled wryly.

To this day, his limbs and viscera still produce phantom pain from time to time, which shows how terrible the torment of the sword ghost was that night.

"Don't think so much, just deal with tonight's full moon night with peace of mind."

Xu Taiping stood up from the futon, then stretched out his hand and patted his cheek, so that he could put aside distracting thoughts and calm down.

At this time, he had already run the Danxia Gong for a few days, and the Qi Palace was full of true energy, and the blood energy in his body was no longer as good as before because of the improvement of the innocent energy these days, and because he took the pills on time. times so weak.

In general, his state tonight is far better than it was a month ago.

"The hour is coming."

Xu Taiping first glanced at the moonlight outside the window, then at the ghost-sealing talisman that had automatically emerged in his palm, then murmured.

Just like last time, streams of killing intent began to overflow from the ghost-sealing talisman in his palm, and permeated the stone room little by little.

But compared to last time, Xu Taiping is much calmer tonight.

He ignored the killing intent emanating from the Ghost Sealing Talisman, but opened the iron gourd and took the Chunhu Knife out of the gourd.

"Shh!"

But just when Xu Taiping picked up the spring tiger and was about to hang it on his waist, a blue light flew out from the gourd and slapped his chest with a "bang".

Xu Taiping looked down, and found that it was actually the cut-off water gifted by Senior Duan Tianya.

"Senior Duan Shui, you also want to deal with that sword ghost with me?"

He tentatively asked the broken water.

However, Duan Shui didn't respond, and just lay quietly in his hands.

Xu Taiping stretched out his hand to pull out the saber, wanting to see if he could pull out the broken water, but the result was still the same as before, unable to pull it out.

The reason why he didn't bring the water cutting knife last time was because he couldn't pull it out.

"Forget it, let's take it in together."

Xu Taiping didn't think much about it, and directly pinned the broken water to the other side.

"Boy, you and I finally meet again!"

As that familiar old voice sounded, the scene around Xu Taiping began to be gradually replaced by a bloody scene.

"Yeah, we meet again."

Xu Taiping raised his head with a smile, and looked straight ahead at the red-haired sword ghost.

Tonight, he was much calmer than before.
