Mortal Bones

Green Bamboo House in front of the courtyard.

"Uncle Ninth is indeed a big shot. He can actually perform the legendary sword flying. I wonder if I will be able to fly across the sky with a sword like Uncle Ninth in my lifetime."

Looking at the divine figure of Uncle Jiu flying away with his sword, Xu Taiping couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Little Taiping, why do you envy this old thing?"

At this moment, a female voice sounded in Xu Taiping's ears.

Turning around, he saw the somewhat transparent figure of Fairy Lingyue standing in the center of the courtyard.

"Taiping, it's time to break through the open-door realm."

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a firm look and a smile.

…

That night.

"This is all that has happened since you were asleep, Fairy."

Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue exactly what happened during this period, including how to design and kill the demon.

"Also, these things were also dropped from the demon ghost after he was killed last time."

Then, Xu Taiping moved a small wooden box to the table.

"I originally planned to use this demon to test the little guy's adaptability to see if he would be able to cower in Qingzhu Residence or be able to ask for help from the monks in Xifeng Pavilion, but I didn't expect that he would actually do it on his own. I killed the demon with all my strength..."

Fairy Lingyue glanced at the small wooden box on the table, then recalled Xu Taiping's narration, and then looked at Xu Taiping, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Sister Fairy, it's me... Is there anything I didn't do well?"

Xu Taiping looked confused when he saw Fairy Lingyue not saying a word and just staring at him without blinking.

"No." Fairy Lingyue smiled and shook her head, "You did a very good job, it couldn't be better."

"Really, I am too... I was also lucky. I met the ghost of Sister Qingmei, and I learned about the weakness of the ghost."

Xu Taiping scratched his head.

He was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"However, Sister Fairy, there is a tiger demon behind that demon. He is still recovering from his injuries. When he recovers, he may come to take revenge. Can you help me see if there is any good way to deal with that demon? Tiger monster?"

Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the tiger monster.

"Little Taiping, you don't have to worry. I have stabilized this remnant soul during this sleep. Although I can't take action personally, there are still many ways to deal with a tiger monster. Five-hundred-year-old tiger gallbladder is most suitable for brewing wine. Used as medicine.”

Fairy Lingyue raised her lips.

Seeing this smile, Xu Taiping shuddered as he suddenly felt that the fairy sister next to him might be scarier than the evil tiger demon.

"By the way, don't call me Sister Xianzi from now on. Call me Sister Lingyue. You and I are already on the same boat, so there is no need to be so outspoken."

Fairy Lingyue pursed her lips at Xu Taiping.

"Okay, Lingyue Fairy...Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping almost called it wrong again, but quickly corrected it.

Fairy Lingyue nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"You open this wooden box, and I'll see what the demon has hidden on him."

She raised her hand and pointed at the wooden box on the table.

Xu Taiping nodded and then opened the wooden box.

"These three hundred merit coins should have been snatched from the murdered monk. He never used this dagger when he fought with me. As for this small copper furnace, I don't know what it is for."

He directly took out the dagger and the palm-sized copper furnace from the wooden box.

"This dagger... should be a magic weapon. The reason why it is useless when fighting you is because low-level ghost cultivators cannot use magic weapons and will be counterattacked by the magic power contained in the magic weapon."

Fairy Lingyue touched her chin and looked at it carefully for a few times, then introduced it to Xu Taiping.

"Sister Lingyue, what is a magic weapon, and what is the difference between it and a magic weapon?"

Naturally, Xu Taiping would not miss the opportunity to ask Fairy Lingyue for advice.

"Magical weapons are mostly used by low-level monks, while magic weapons can only be refined and used by high-level monks. The difference between the two is generally the difference in power. In terms of power, even if it is a top-grade A magic weapon may not be as good as a low-grade magic weapon. Secondly, most magic weapons are used to store the power of spells. Most of them have a limited number of uses, and some can only be used once, while magic weapons are used by monks. Most of those who cast spells have no limit on the number of times they can be used.”

Fairy Lingyue introduced it very carefully.

Xu Taiping had a look of astonishment on his face, and one more doubt suddenly disappeared from his mind.

"You can try to inject a burst of true energy into this dagger."

Fairy Lingyue pointed at the dagger.

"Um."

Xu Taiping nodded, and immediately summoned a stream of spiritual power from his Dantian, and then used the Qi-guiding method learned from Qingniu Fist to inject that spiritual power into the dagger in his hand.

"Zheng!"

Almost as soon as the spiritual power was injected into it, the dagger in Xu Taiping's hand suddenly let out a sword cry, and then came out of the sheath with a "swish" sound, spinning around the bedroom.

"It's actually... a flying sword?"

Xu Taiping's face was full of surprise.

"This kind of flying sword weapon is only two or three times faster than ordinary arrows. How can it be regarded as a flying sword?"

Fairy Lingyue pursed her lips in disgust.

"Sister Lingyue, I found that this sword seems to be able to move according to my will!"

Xu Taiping's attention at this time has been completely attracted by the flying sword weapon, and his face shows a very rare childlike look.

Fairy Lingyue felt inexplicably distressed when she saw this, and said with love in her heart:

"After all, he is just a teenager who is just over ten years old. In an ordinary family, he is still at the age where he can act coquettishly with his parents."

When she thought of this, her eyes softened a lot, she nodded slightly, pointed to Xu Taiping and said:

"This is the case with magic weapons. Once you inject spiritual power into it, it will be able to communicate with your mind. You will naturally know how to use it and how many times to use it."

Xu Taiping nodded vigorously when he heard this and said:

"Sister Lingyue is right. This flying sword weapon can only be used twice now."

After saying this, he controlled the dagger whirling in the room and flew back into the sheath with a clang.

"And Sister Lingyue, I just discovered that just by making him spin a few times, a lot of Canxia Qi in the Dantian has been consumed."

Xu Taiping put away his dagger and told Fairy Lingyue with a curious look on his face.

"Well, the lower the magic weapon, the greater the consumption of true energy and spiritual power. This is one of the biggest drawbacks of the magic weapon, so high-level monks often don't bother to refine the magic weapon."

Fairy Lingyue wanted to reach out to wipe the sweat on Xu Taiping's forehead, but then she reached her hand into the air and realized that she couldn't touch Xu Taiping at all.

"It's okay, Sister Lingyue, I can wipe it myself."

Xu Taiping picked up the towel on the side and wiped it hard on his face. He was very happy to get such a magic weapon tonight.
