Mortal Bones

"Um."

Xu Taiping followed his instructions and pulled off a pod from the bean pod, then reached out and carefully pushed it open.

"Fairy, what is this?"

After peeling the pods open, Xu Taiping saw that they were not beans, but crystal beads that exuded a crystal luster.

"This is a spiritual crystal, the crystallization of the spiritual power contained in this land. You can hold one in your mouth when practicing in the future, and with the prescription I give you, you can practice quickly even with bones."

Fairy Lingyue said very confidently.

"really?"

Xu Taiping couldn't help blurting out.

"Cultivation with mortal bones is not difficult in the first place, but you are on this continent, and many cultivation traditions have been cut off, making it impossible to practice with mortal bones."

Fairy Lingyue nodded disapprovingly, then continued:

"Among the treasures bred by the Ksitigarbha fruit, this spiritual crystal is actually the most inferior one. It's just that the land is too barren, so it can breed a treasure of this level even if it is allowed to grow for a while. , it can only make the level of the spiritual crystals produced better, but it cannot produce real magic weapons with magical powers."

After hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then if I plant this seed on the Seven Peaks, will it be able to give birth to the magic weapon with magical powers that the fairy said? "

"One point is enough. If I were not a remnant soul, I would like to accept you as my disciple."

Fairy Lingyue liked this Xu Taiping more and more the more she looked at it.

Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"But if you want to make the Ksitigarbha fruit produce more powerful treasures, besides planting the seeds on the seven peaks with more abundant spiritual energy, you and I have one more thing to do."

Fairy Lingyue spoke again at this time.

"Which thing?"

Xu Taiping asked quickly.

"Taiping, please first pick off the two remaining pods on the bean pods, then peel them open and hold them in your hands."

Fairy Lingyue did not rush to explain, but pointed to the two remaining emerald green pods on the bean pods.

"good."

After choosing to believe in Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping became extremely straightforward in doing things. He picked the two pods and peeled them open without hesitation.

After Xu Taiping peeled open the two pods, he discovered that, as Lingyue in front of him said now, the two pods also contained spiritual crystals shaped like soybeans.

"Fairy."

Xu Taiping put away the few soybean spirit crystals he had, then picked up the remaining ones and handed them to the phantom of Fairy Lingyue.

He doesn't want a single penny of what he promises to others, and he doesn't give more than a penny of what belongs to him.

Seeing this scene, Fairy Lingyue nodded secretly.

She secretly praised again in her heart:

"At such a young age, he is cautious but not afraid of getting into trouble, and he is even more cheerful and free when doing things. He is indeed a member of our generation."

But she didn't say this to Xu Taiping, she just nodded to him, and then opened her mouth and sucked in the soybean spirit crystals in Xu Taiping's hand.

"hiss……"

With a slight sucking sound, Xu Taiping only saw the seven or eight soybean spirit crystals in his palm instantly turning into wisps of purple energy, like rivers converging into the sea, and being sucked into the mouth by the phantom of Fairy Lingyue.

After Fairy Lingyue inhaled the purple energy formed by these soybean spiritual crystals, Xu Taiping clearly felt that her figure became much clearer and no longer swayed in the wind like the mist.

"Thank you, little friend Taiping, for saving my life."

Fairy Lingyue did not hesitate to express her gratitude.

"You're welcome, fairy, this is a deal between you and me."

Xu Taiping looked unfazed and calmly shook his head.

"That's a good thing."

Fairy Lingyue nodded in approval, then pointed to the bean sprouts below and said:

"Look at the changes in this bean sprout."

Hearing the sound, Xu Taiping looked down, and was surprised to find that the soybean plant that was still full of vitality just now was completely withered, just like a weed.

"Fairy, this soybean plant has withered. How should we get the seeds?"

Although Xu Taiping was a little surprised, he was not frightened because he knew that the fairy in front of him must have something up his sleeve.

"about this issue."

Fairy Lingyue smiled.

"That's the second thing I just told you that you need to do."

she continued.

When Xu Taiping heard this, he immediately looked attentive and stared at Fairy Lingyue in front of him very seriously.

Fairy Lingyue didn't show off and told Xu Taiping directly:

"Every time the Ksitigarbha fruit bears fruit, it will wither by itself when all the fruits are picked. Even if it waits until the next year, it will not bear fruit again."

"If you want it to continue to bear fruit, you must use the rootless fire to burn the withered grass. When it is completely burned to ashes, its seeds will grow from the ashes, so we all put this One step is called burning seeds.”

Lingyue's answer undoubtedly surprised Xu Taiping again.

However, compared to the surprise in his heart, what concerned him more was the thing mentioned by Fairy Lingyue - the rootless fire.

"Fairy, what is rootless fire?"

Xu Taiping asked.

Fairy Lingyue seemed to be waiting for Xu Taiping to ask questions, so after hearing his questions, she smiled happily again and then explained:

"The so-called rootless fire is just like the literal meaning. It is a flame that does not need to be ignited by external objects."

"There are two types of rootless fire. One is born in nature, and the other is tempered by monks using true energy and techniques. We call it true fire."

"Rootless fire born in nature is also called spiritual fire. Such divine objects can be encountered but cannot be sought."

"So the only rootless fire you can find is the true fire tempered by monks, and the true fire tempered by monks is often stored in magic weapons and talismans."

If she was just explaining the rootless fire, Fairy Lingyue would not need to explain it so carefully. It was obvious that her words were meant to guide Xu Taiping in his practice.

"Thank you fairy for your advice."

When Xu Taiping heard this, he felt that he had benefited a lot and thanked him immediately.

"So, Fairy, you want me to find the talisman containing the true fire, right?"

He immediately confirmed it to Fairy Lingyue.

"That's right."

Fairy Lingyue nodded with a smile.

"Although the true fire talisman is not a rare thing, and the first burning of the Ksitigarbha fruit does not require a high-grade true fire, but as of now, you probably don't have the money to buy it, so you either have to practice When you are ready, you can practice the true fire by yourself, or work hard to run this medicine garden, and then redeem it after you have earned enough merit rewards. There is no need to rush."

Fairy Lingyue suggested to Xu Taiping.

"Fairy, don't worry, I will work hard to practice and manage this half-acre medicine garden, and strive to get the real fire for burning seeds as soon as possible."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
