"Is that so..."

  This sentence made Xu Taiping calm down.

  Although his cultivation speed was slow due to his bone quality, he urgently o increase his cultivation speed. However, if it was really that dangerous, it would not be necessary.

  "The matter of the Fire Lingzhi is nent. The most important thing is to burn the seeds first ahe Earth Fruit undergo the sed transformation."

  Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping seriously.

  "I uand. Tomorrow, I will use these merit s to buy the True Fire Talisman."

  Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.

  Through this period of cultivation, he deeply felt the slowness of his bone quality in cultivation speed, so the Earth Fruit had bee the key to breaking through his bottleneck.

  ...

  A few days ter.

  In the evening.

  "Xu Taiping, your things have arrived."

  Baiyu flew down to the front of the Green Bamboo Resideh an exquisite leather bag in its mouth.

  "I'm here."

  Xu Taiping's voice sounded from the courtyard.

  "Phew!..."

  Almost at the same time as the sound, Xu Taiping's figure rushed out of the Green Bamboo Residence like a gust of wind.

  "hen did you learn this Shadow Wind Step?"

  Baiyu asked in amazement.

  "Yesterday."

  Xu Taiping answered straightforwardly.

  He found this Shadow Wind Step among the treasures collected from the Tiger Demon. It just happehat he cked a body teique, so he lear directly.

  "I doubt that."

  Baiyu gave Xu Taiping a skeptical look.

  "It's just two simple moves."

  Xu Taiping walked over helplessly.

  The Shadow Wind Step was a good body teique of the Qingxua, which both outer and inner disciples could learn. However, outer disciples could only practice the first two steps of the Shadow Wind Seven Steps. The teique from the Tiger Demon came from an outer disciple who died at its hands.

  "Take it."

  Baiyu tossed the exquisite leather bag to Xu Taiping.

  "Thank you."

  Xu Taiping caught it.

  "Little Taiping, I'm afraid you've gained a lot from that Tiger Demht? Now you dare to buy things at the Tianbao Pavilion."

  Baiyu teased Xu Taiping with a smile.

  The Tianbao Pavilion was where the Qingxua sold magical tools and treasures, but the prices were very high, and there were not many things avaible for sale to outer disciples. Therefore, very few outer disciples would buy things there.

  "I did make some gains."

  Xu Taiping scratched his head with a smile.

  Seeing Xu Taiping being so ho, Baiyu lost i in teasing him further and fpped its wings, saying, "Little Taiping, I still have something to deliver. I won't disturb you. I'll e to your house for a roast mb when I have time."

  "Okay, when you have time, you inform me in advah a feather as a message."

  Xu Taiping nodded and agreed.

  "Okay."

  Baiyu responded and then suddenly fpped its wings, leaping into the air.

  ...

  "Sister Lihe True Fire Talisman has arrived."

  After Baiyu left, Xu Taiping rushed back to the courtyard like a gust of wind, closed the courtyard door, and called out to Fairy Lingyue as he walked towards the backyard.

  This time, he bought the True Fire Talisman from the Tianbao Pavilion, which was used for burning the seeds. Although it was the weakest True Fire, its power was far less thahree-Fvored True Fire, but it was not cheap, costing him a total of 2,100 merit s.

  If it weren't for the treasure from the Tiger Demoimated that he would only be able to gather so ma s after reag the Seventh Peak.

  "This kind of grade of True Fire Talisman actually dares to sell for 2,100 merit s. It seems that the Tianbao Pavilion deliberately does not want to sell things to outer disciples."

  Fairy Liook a quid roughly uood the strength of the True Fire Talisman in Xu Taiping's hand.

  " it be used for burning the seeds?"

  Xu Taiping asked with some .

  "It barely be used for the first burning of the seeds."

  Fairy Lingyue nodded.

  "That's good."

  Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief.

  Unlike Fairy Lingyue, he had been aced to unfairness from a young age, so he didn't think much of it.

  "Before burning the seeds, we still o prepare some things. Follow me."

  Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

  "Okay."

  Xu Taiping nodded and followed.

  ...

  Late at night.

  In the medial garden of the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Boom!..."

  Xu Taiping once again activated the magical tool cauldron obtained from the Evil Ghost and thehe Earth Fruit Douqi, which had been dug out from the ground, into it.

  ", activate the True Fire Talisman and then put it into the cauldron."

  Fairy Lingyue Xu Taiping.

  "Okay."

  Without saying a word, Xu Taiping took out the True Fire Talisman he had exged for 2,000 merit s and ied spiritual power into the talisman, then threw it into the cauldron.

  "Boom!"

  The power of the fire element irue Fire Talisman suddenly burst out, turning into a bloody red and scorg fme that rushed out of the cauldron.

  Even though Xu Taiping had already retreated a zhang away, he could still feel the huge fire element in the crimson fme. Even with the prote of the residual True Qi, his cheeks still felt painfully hot.

  "Although the Three-Fvored True Fire is far inferior to the Six-Fvored True Fire and the Nine-Fvored True Fire, it is the nemesis of Evil Ghosts and simir demons. Eveiger Demon ot stay in this kind of fme for too long."

  As the Earth Fruit Douqi began to burn in the cauldron, Fairy Liook the opportunity to expin the knowledge of the True Fire to Xu Taiping.

  "When I advan my cultivation, will I be able to refihe Three-Fvored True Fire?"

  Xu Taiping looked at the fmes rising into the sky with eager eyes.

  "When you cultivate the Residual Glow Teique to the third level and reach the level of Opening the Door, you should be able to."

  Fairy Lingyue nodded.

  Cultivating the Residual Glow Teique to the third level was actually one of the signs of reag the level of Opening the Door. By then, Xu Taiping would be able to trol the Residual Glow True Qi freely.

  "The third level..."

  Xu Taiping murmured to himself.Just a few days ago, he had exged for the sed level of the Su Skill from within the bronze mirror, and he had yet to fully master it. The spontaneous phenomenon of spiritual energy that occurred during his breakthrough to the Opening Realm was merely a fluke.

  What's more, the third level of the Su Skill could only be exged by Inner Disciples.

  Therefore, to advance further, he had to pass the sele of the Seventh Peak in two years' time.

  "I wonder if Linglong and Brother Qingxiao still remember me."

  He suddenly thought of Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao, who had brought him up the mountain.

  "Humming..."

  Just then, the pill furnace suddeed a faint tremor, followed by Xu Taiping only seeing the inally scarlet fmes suddenly turn into a pure azure color.

  "Don't worry, this is the Earth-Hiding Fruit undergoing transformation. Wait for the azure fme to extinguish, and the seed of the fruit will be ripe,"

  Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this moment.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately rexed.

  Sure enough, it wasn't long before the azure fme extinguished.

  However, just as Xu Taiping was about to retrieve the Earth-Hiding Fruit from the pill furhe furnace suddenly cracked into two with a "crack."

  "This pill furnace is just a low-grade Magical Tool, uo withstand the scorg of True Fire. Later, your sister will help you find a better pill furnace,"

  Seeing the look ret in Xu Taiping's eyes, Fairy Lingyue immediately forted him with a smile.

  "Yes, we will definitely find a better one!"

  Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.

  Then he cleared away the fragments of the pill furnad carefully searched inside, eventually finding a seed amidst the ashes.

  "This... looks a bit like the gourd seeds I pnted when I was a child,"

  Xu Taiping said in surprise, ping the unremarkable-looking seed.

  "That's right, after the Earth-Hiding Fruit's Burning Seed undergoes its sed transformation, it bees a gourd fruit,"

  Fairy Lingyue smiled and nodded.
