Mortal bone

"Sister Lingyue, help me find out again, what is this copper stove used for?"

Then, Xu Taiping held up the copper stove with his hands, and handed it to Fairy Lingyue with a curious expression on his face.

"Little Taiping, your luck is really good."

Fairy Lingyue didn't answer directly, but looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Why did my sister say that?"

Xu Taiping felt that Fairy Lingyue had something to say.

"This thing is a alchemy furnace, a magic weapon used by monks for alchemy, and it can be used for you to refine the energy-gathering pill that will be used for the next breakthrough."

Fairy Lingyue explained to Xu Taiping.

"Refining Qi Gathering Pill? But I heard Ziyang Zhenjun said in his lecture that if you want to break through the door-opening state, you only need to practice the Cangxia Art to the freezing stage, accumulate the Qi in the Dantian, and break through the whole body's acupoints in one fell swoop. Can."

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

"Little Taiping, you are a mortal bone, naturally there are more obstacles on the road of cultivation than other monks."

Fairy Lingyue sighed with some pity.

Xu Taiping was startled when he heard the words, a trace of injustice flashed in his eyes, but immediately his eyes became firm again and said:

"Sister Lingyue, please teach me how to refine Qi Gathering Pill!"

……

More than two months later.

The four seasons of Yunlu Mountain are like spring, and the scenery in the mountain remains unchanged.

Xu Taiping's life is roughly the same. He practices Canxia Kungfu every day at midnight, noon, and you. During this period, he practices boxing, archery, chopping firewood, watering, hunting, and learning alchemy. His life is very fulfilling.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that Uncle Bai hadn't been here since that meal, and the spirit bird delivering the goods was replaced by a bald eagle with a bad temper.

In addition, the nine-leaf white perilla in the medicine garden has been ripe for another season, and he has finally gathered enough medicinal materials to buy the "Qi Ju Pill".

"Excluding the money for the purchase of medicinal materials and the expenses in the past two months, there are still 96 merit coins left. Although it is still far away from purchasing the real fire talisman, at least there is no need to worry about not having merit coins to hand over to the sect. "

That night, Qingzhu lived in the backyard, looking at the herbs placed in the bamboo basket beside him, Xu Taiping felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, Xu Taiping at this time is still facing the biggest crisis——

After half a month, if he fails to break through the door-opening realm, his name will be erased from the spiritual bone tablet, and he will also face the crisis of being expelled or even punished by Qingxuanzong.

"The moon has reached mid-heaven, you can call Sister Lingyue to come out and refine the Qi Gathering Pill together."

Xu Taiping looked at the full moon above his head, and muttered something to himself.

According to the agreement between him and Fairy Lingyue, the day of the full moon two months later will be the time for them to refine Qi Gathering Pills together.

In the past two months, he himself secretly tried to use the method taught by Ziyang Zhenjun to break through the situation, but no matter how hard he tried, he failed in the end.

So now there is only one way for Xu Taiping - to refine Qi Gathering Pill.

"Sister Lingyue, the time has come."

Xu Ye stood up and whispered to the medicine garden.

"Well……"

Not long after, a lazy voice came from the direction of the medicine garden.

"Huh... this sleep is really comfortable."

After a while, Fairy Lingyue, who was still somewhat sleepy between her brows and eyes, appeared in front of Xu Taiping, stretched and yawning.

"Sister Lingyue, did you not sleep well when you were outside the mountain?"

Xu Taiping was a little curious.

"Beyond the mountain, the spiritual energy is poor. Sleeping is a kind of torture for my remnant soul. It's different here. The spiritual energy is abundant. Sleeping is not only harmless, but beneficial, and can nourish the soul."

Fairy Lingyue laughed.

Asked by Xu Taiping, the sleepiness on her face was obviously reduced a lot.

"Have you gathered all the medicinal materials?"

Fairy Lingyue asked Xu Ye.

Before going to bed, she had already made an appointment with Xu Taiping, asking him to prepare all the materials needed for the Qi Gathering Pill during this period.

"All together."

Xu Taiping nodded, and pointed to the small bamboo basket on the side, where he saw that packets of herbs had been placed there by category.

"They are all common medicinal materials, and the merit coins I have saved are just enough to buy a pair."

He added.

"The medicinal materials needed for the Qi Gathering Pill are the same as the bone-washing and marrow-cutting soup. The important thing is the refining method." Fairy Lingyue glanced at the medicinal materials on the ground, and then looked up at Xu with a solemn expression. Taiping, "But after opening the door, the medicinal materials and pills used to assist in cultivation are very expensive, Taiping, you have to be mentally prepared."

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded vigorously, "No matter how much it costs, I will definitely gather these medicinal materials."

"Then let's get started."

Fairy Lingyue nodded in satisfaction.

Xu Taiping took out the small copper stove from his bosom and put it on the ground, then put his other hand on it, and began to inject true energy into it.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a bang, the copper stove, which was originally only the size of a fist, suddenly became as high as the stove.

Xu Taiping's reaction was very calm, after all he had seen it many times.

"You must have understood the method of manipulating the medicine stove, Taiping, and then you can start adding charcoal to it."

Fairy Lingyue gave Xu Taiping instructions.

"This alchemy furnace is also a very common magic weapon. After refining a furnace of alchemy, the spiritual power will be dissipated and it will become an ordinary furnace. Therefore, Taiping, you must hear my password clearly. Control the temperature of the alchemy furnace and the timing of adding medicinal materials."

When Xu Taiping was adding charcoal to the stove, Fairy Lingyue continued to tell him, her expression showing a rare seriousness.

"Sister Lingyue, don't worry, in the past two months, I have rehearsed many times in advance, and there will be no mistakes."

After adding charcoal, Xu Taiping stood up and looked at Fairy Lingyue with firm eyes.

And the next process of alchemy, as promised by Xu Taiping to Fairy Lingyue, there was no mistake from the beginning to the end.

"The little guy is so proficient in controlling such complicated timing of dosing and controlling the temperature of the fire. He is not at all inferior to some monks who have studied alchemy for several years. How much energy did he spend on it?"

Looking at Xu Taiping who put his hands on the medicine stove and kept controlling the temperature of the stove with his own true energy, Fairy Lingyue's eyes became more and more scorching hot.

Because compared to cultivation, alchemy is what Lingyue is best at. Seeing such a young man with alchemy talent, how can she not be envious.

"Little Taiping, please be my disciple."

Fairy Lingyue almost blurted out, but when the words came to her lips, she held back.

"Now that I am like this, I can't be a competent master, and if someone sees the inheritance of the exercises he practiced and knows that he is my disciple, I'm afraid it will cause countless disasters to kill him in the future, that's all, that's all ..."

Fairy Lingyue's expression dimmed.
