Mortal bone

"Sister Lingyue, all the medicinal materials have been put into the medicine furnace."

At this moment, Xu Taiping turned his head to look at Fairy Lingyue with a trace of excitement in his eyes.

"It's well done, now you just need to keep the fire warm, wait for half an hour, and the elixir will be ready."

Fairy Lingyue immediately withdrew her mind and nodded to Xu Taiping with a smile on her face.

"I can't recognize my apprentice, but it's not bad to recognize a well-behaved younger brother."

Looking at Xu Taiping who was meticulously guarding the fire according to her request, the corners of Fairy Lingyue's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile.

……

After half an hour.

"boom……"

Xu Taiping stood on tiptoe and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace with both hands, the heat wave rose from the furnace and turned into a cloud of white mist that diffused in the backyard.

"Sister Lingyue, two Chengdans!"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xu Taiping found with surprise on his face that, among several groups of black medicine residues, there were two vermilion pills lying there quietly with a warm and lustrous color like jade.

"There are actually two pills?"

Fairy Lingyue also had a look of surprise.

Although she seldom refines such low-level pills, according to her experience, with the quality of the medicinal materials that Xu Taiping bought, it is not bad to be able to make one pill.

"It seems that the little guy is really talented in alchemy. The secret methods in the sect can't be taught to him for the time being, but some alchemy formulas are still fine. What's more, if I want to restore my cultivation, I need the assistance of an alchemist."

She secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would train Xu Taiping as an alchemist in the future.

"Sister Lingyue, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Fairy Lingyue was distracted, Xu Taiping immediately called her softly.

"Oh, I was thinking, there is one Qi Gathering Pill left over that you can just keep to deal with that tiger demon."

Fairy Lingyue looked down at the two Qi Gathering Pills in Xu Taiping's hands.

"Can Qi Gathering Pill be used to deal with tiger monsters?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

"The Qi Gathering Pill can provide you with huge spiritual power in a short period of time. When it is converted into true energy, it is equivalent to having an extra dantian, allowing you to cast some spells beyond your current realm, such as ..."

At this point in the explanation, Fairy Lingyue looked up at the moon and tried to think back, then looked down at Xu Taiping and said, "For example, it can be used in conjunction with your Canxia Art. As usual, only the door-opening stage can be used. Breathing formula, exhale into ice, even with your current cultivation, as long as you cooperate with Qi Gathering Pill, you can freeze everything in an area of ​​more than ten feet square in one breath."

"Including the tiger demon?"

Xu Taiping asked excitedly.

"Although this Frozen Breath Art is not a non-inheritance secret technique, in your practice world, as long as you don't take precautions in advance, even opponents who are one realm higher than you will still be tricked."

Fairy Lingyue nodded with certainty.

"Sister Lingyue, when I break through the door-opening state, please pass on the Frozen Breath Art to me!"

Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue with bright eyes.

"If you are willing to learn, I am willing to pass it on to you. Don't forget, you and I are partners now."

Fairy Lingyue touched Xu Taiping's little head, and gave him a faint smile.

In her original cultivation world, this Frozen Breath Jue can barely be regarded as a mysterious technique. She likes to use some casual cultivators most. Most disciples of the sect have better choices, not to mention the sect she belongs to, so don't worry It will expose her identity.

……

Another moment later.

Xu Taiping returned to the bedroom, ready to break through the door opening.

The remnant soul of Fairy Lingyue is also in the room at the moment.

"Little Taiping, take it easy, you have two Qi Gathering Pills in your hand, it's impossible that you can't break through the door-opening realm."

Seeing Xu Taiping's tense expression, Fairy Lingyue smiled and motioned him to relax and not to be so nervous.

"Ah."

Xu Taiping nodded heavily, then closed his eyes, and let out a long breath of turbid air in his chest.

"Sister Lingyue, I'm ready."

Xu Taiping opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Lingyue.

"Then take the Qi Gathering Pill and break through."

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

Seeing that Xu Taiping's expression had obviously relaxed a lot at this time, she was relieved immediately.

"Gulong..."

Xu Taiping didn't hesitate any longer, he stuffed the Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth and swallowed it directly.

The elixir melted in his mouth, Xu Taiping didn't even have time to feel what it was like, he just felt an elegant and delicate fragrance spreading in his body, and then came out along his nostrils.

"Buzzing..."

And when Xu Taiping started to use the Can Xia Gong, with a buzzing in his ears, the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill suddenly took effect, and the surges of spiritual power were guided by the Can Xia Gong, and transformed into Can Xia Gong extremely quickly. Xia's true energy flowed into the meridians of his whole body like a rushing river, violently impacting various acupoints.

The acupoints that originally required him to expend a lot of energy to be opened, but this time he opened them in a few breaths.

"The first step of breaking through the door-opening state is to push away all the acupoints in the whole body. The second step is to run the Remnant Cloud Kungfu, use the acupoints in the whole body to guide the aura of heaven and earth into the body, and finally gather in the dantian, push the dantian wall away, and let the The dantian turns into a sea of ​​Qi."

While Xu Taiping was running the Canxia Art with all his strength, he was silently thinking about the essentials of breaking through the door-opening realm taught by Zhenjun Ziyang that day, how to turn a small dantian like a fish pond into a sea of ​​Qi.

If you can't do this step, the greatest achievement in your life will be a martial artist who only knows how to fight with fists and feet.

"boom!"

With this in mind, Xu Taiping did not hesitate to mobilize the zhenqi guided by the acupoints around his body, and began to attack the small dantian for the first time, Canxia's body-protecting zhenqi spread from his body without warning.

"Uh!……"

But what followed was a heart-piercing pain, Xu Taiping only felt that his scalp was being torn off piece by piece, the pain was several times worse than that when he soaked in the marrow soup that day.

Even a man as resolute as him was finally defeated by this pain, and the huge zhenqi that had finally gathered turned into clouds of smoke and dispersed with a bang.

"Xu Taiping, this is the price of cultivating mortal bones. If you can't bear this bit of hardship, I think you should give up as soon as possible!"

Fairy Lingyue provoked Xu Taiping on purpose.

How could she not know the pain that Xu Taiping was facing at this moment?

But she understands even more how cruel the way of heaven is to mortal bones. Even if you embark on the road of cultivation, as long as you are a little bit slack and timid in the future, you will face a hundred times the pain you are facing today.

So in her opinion, even if Xu Taiping fails to break through, he must never bow to this pain.

But her worries were obviously unnecessary.

After Xu Taiping failed the first attempt to break through the boundary, he immediately started his second attempt.

He endured the pain that still hadn't completely dissipated, and continued to channel his true energy from various acupoints, calmly and skillfully. In the eyes of Fairy Lingyue at the side, Xu Taiping didn't look like a ten-year-old at all. How old are the children.
