The years in the mountains are short.

  In the blink of ahree months have passed.

  During these three months, Xu Taiping lived a very leisurely life.

  In addition to practig the residual glow teique at fixed times every day, as well as practig several martial arts and teiques, the rest of the time ent watering herbs, catg is, fertilizing, and teag the little monkey Ping'an to speak and read.

  Due to the retionship with the spiritual bohe progress of the residual glow teique was as slow as he expected. The sea of qi in the dantian has not yet formed, still shrouded in mist.

  But Xu Taiping was not in a hurry. After all, the current situation was beyond his trol. He could only wait for the Earth-Hiding Fruit to mature and see if there was a way to resolve it.

  In addition to Snow Root Polygonum multiflorum, he also pnted many medial materials needed for the Gathering Qi Pill. After maturing within a year, it would be enough for him to refien Gathering Qi Pills.

  "Among the most expensive medial materials that outer disciples buy, the Snow Root Polygonum multiflorum is the most expensive. In other words, if the outer disciples do not pete for it, they earn at most two to three hundred merit s in three years. It seems that everything has been calcuted by the Qingxua in advance."

  After practig the residual glow teique for two hours, Xu Taiping got out of bed and began to think about this year's ine.

  "Xu Taiping, I watered the pnts, swept the yard, and washed the vegetables today. you py chess with me?"

  At this time, the little monkey Ping'an suddenly poked his head in, with a pair of round eyes blinking at Xu Taiping.

  "Okay, after dinner, I will py with you."

  Xu Taiping stood up with a smile.

  More than a year has passed, and he is no lohe weak boy he was when he first arrived on the mountain.

  Not only has he grown to six feet tall, but his body has also bee very strong and well-proportioned. His inally tender face has also beore angur, with a few traces of youthful charm.

  "Yay!"

  Hearing that Xu Taiping was going to py chess with it, little monkey Ping'an happily jumped onto a nearby stool.

  Although only three months have passed, this little monkey with the bloodline of a spiritual beast is exceptionally intelligent. Not only has it learo speak, but it also loves to py chess with Xu Taiping.

  In addition, this little monkey is so well-behaved that Xu Taiping often fets that it is a monster.

  In addition to reading and writing as requested by Xu Taiping every day, it also helps Xu Taiping take care of the herb garden and do housework. Retly, it has even learo make fires and cook.

  "By the way, Xu Taiping, that person has e again. He asked me to tell you that he will e again."

  As the little monkey spoke, it jumped onto Xu Taiping's shoulder.

  "If he es again, tell him that I just want to practi pead have no i in joining the Cloud Pavilion."

  Xu Taiping patted the little monkey's head.

  The so-called Cloud Pavilion is actually an anization of outer disciples of the Yunlu Mountain. After joining the anization, outer disciple disciples receive the prote of the Cloud Pavilion. For example, if Xu Taiping enters a motack like st time, he seek help from them.

  At first, he also sidered whether to join this anization, after all, it would provide him with an additional guarantee. But after inquiring about the Cloud Pavilion from Bai Yu, he ged his mind.

  First, after joining the Cloud Pavilion, the ine from the herb garden or the immortal field must be handed over to the Qingxua, and then ahird must be handed over to the Cloud Pavilion.

  Sed, you must obey the orders of the Cloud Pavilion and follow the cultivators of the anization to hunt and kill monsters.

  Although there is a reward for killing monsters, most of it still has to be handed over to the Cloud Pavilion.

  In addition to the above two points, what pletely dispelled Xu Taiping's idea of joining was Bai Yu's warning to him: "Most of the Cloud Pavilion's cultivators who bee disciples of the Seventh Peak will be threatened by the Cloud Pavilion, f them to provide information about the sed hand over a rge number of merit s."

  It was for this reason that Xu Taiping decided not to pay attention to them.

  Acc to Bai Yu, as long as you do not show yourself, these people will automatically leave after harassing you for a period of time, without needing to worry about them.

  "Ping'an, when you talk to that person, don't leave the yard."

  Xu Taiping then warhe little monkey.

  "Okay, Xu Taiping."

  The little monkey nodded early.

  "Let's go. Let's go to the backyard to see the gourd vine. If everything goes well, Sister Lingyue should wake up tonight."

  Xu Taiping took the little monkey off his shoulder and walked towards the backyard herb garden.

  ...

  In the herb garden.

  The herb garden, which was once desote three months ago, has bee lush and fragrant with the st of spiritual herbs.

  In this sea of swaying herbs, a vih green leaves and three different-courds on it is particurly eye-catg.

  These three gourds are the fruits of the Earth-Hiding Fruit after the sed transformation.

  "Xu Taiping, this gourd smells so good."

  The little monkey s with its nose, lig its lips hungrily."Little monkey, do you dare to eat me, not fearing that I'll burrow into your stomad your iines into a mess?"

  Xu Taiping was just about to scold the little monkey when suddenly, a voice came from the green gourd among the three gourds, and it was the pleasant voice of a woman.

  Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping immediately smiled, looking very happy as he turowards the gourd and said:

  "Sister Lingyue, you've finally awakened."
