Mortal bone

"Chichi..."

After seeing the mountain-moving ape on the ice, the little monkey's eyes were filled with panic, struggling to get off Xu Taiping's body.

"Don't worry, I'll take you there."

Xu Taiping patted the little monkey's head lightly, and then poured spiritual power into his feet, and then his figure flew out like the wind, and he came to the mountain-moving ape in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the mountain-moving ape had burn marks all over its body. It was already dying, and it was completely trying to see the little monkey.

"Chichi..."

At this moment, the little monkey jumped off Xu Taiping's body, rushed to the mountain-moving ape, and hugged its face with both hands.

Then Xu Taiping saw two monkeys, one big and one small, and they began to communicate with each other "chirp chirp chirp".

"The old monkey is explaining the funeral to the little monkey, but he doesn't know exactly what he said."

Fairy Lingyue seems to understand some monkey language.

Xu Taiping didn't care much about what the two monkeys were talking about, but he was still reminded of his grandfather by the scene in front of him.

After all, that was how his grandfather explained to him what happened behind him on that snowy night.

"You...youth..."

At this moment, the mountain-moving ape seemed to have finished explaining to the little monkey. He tapped the little monkey's head with his fingers, then looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Can you... help me take care of... my child, I can... make it form a soul bond with you, and serve you for a lifetime..."

Xu Taiping already knew about the soul contract with spirit beasts, but he never thought that such an opportunity would come to him in vain one day.

Fairy Lingyue didn't interrupt, but just watched quietly, obviously letting Xu Taiping make his own choice.

"What about you? Would you like to?"

Xu Taiping didn't directly agree or refuse, but looked at the little monkey.

Hearing this, the mountain-moving ape immediately whispered a few words to the little monkey, as if conveying Xu Taiping's words to the little monkey.

"grumble……"

After hearing the words of the moving ape, the little monkey turned around and hugged the head of the moving ape, but under the persuasion of the moving ape, it soon turned around to look at Xu Taiping, and then nodded.

"Then you will follow me."

Xu Taiping nodded.

His little monkey was very pitiful, and he couldn't bear to throw it in the mountains.

The process of concluding the soul contract was very simple. The mountain-moving ape took out a drop of the original demon blood from the little monkey and dropped it on Xu Taiping's palm, and then let the little monkey make an oath.

After concluding the soul contract with the little monkey, Xu Taiping clearly felt that he could use his own thoughts to issue orders to the little monkey, but of course he would never do that.

A large part of the reason why he took in the little monkey was out of sympathy, not because of the need for spirit beasts.

And why the soul contract was concluded, it was because according to Qingxuanzong's regulations, spirit beasts without a soul contract could not enter the territory of Qingxuanzong.

This point must have been known to the mountain-moving ape.

"juvenile……"

At this moment, the mountain-moving ape suddenly stretched his hand into his mouth, took out a piece of transparent crystal ore, then gently waved his hand, and threw the ore weighing more than a hundred catties in front of Xu Taiping.

"This thing belongs to you..."

The mountain-moving ape pointed to the piece of ore that Xu Taiping rolled to Xu Taiping's feet.

"What is this?"

Xu Taiping was a little confused.

"Ice soul moon spirit stone?"

At the same time, Fairy Lingyue on the side exclaimed.

"Ice soul moon spirit stone is the material for casting spirit soldiers. It is very rare, and it is considered a very precious ore in my original practice world."

She then explained to Xu Taiping.

"Spiritual soldiers?"

Xu Taiping was also surprised when he heard this.

According to his current understanding of magic weapons, weapons in the practice world are divided into magic weapons, magic weapons, spirit treasures, and legendary fairy treasures.

Lingbing is a type of Lingbao, specifically referring to weapons with extremely strong attack power.

You know, let alone Lingbing, he has never seen even a magic weapon, let alone Lingbao Lingbing.

"Hurry up and collect it. After the triple change of the ground fruit, use this ice soul moon spirit stone as a nourishment, and then choose a spirit mountain to plant it. Maybe a top-grade spirit weapon with special abilities can be bred."

Fairy Lingyue said slightly excitedly.

If it was in her original world, a piece of Ice Soul Moon Spirit Stone would not excite her so much, but it is different in this continent. stone.

"jijiji..."

Just now when Xu Taiping picked up the Ice Soul Moon Spirit Stone, the heart-piercing screams of a little monkey sounded on the ice in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that the mountain-moving ape had closed his eyes.

"Out of breath."

Fairy Lingyue's tone was a bit sad.

Next, Xu Taiping tried to find a way to bury the corpse of the mountain-moving ape in the forest, and then took out the python skin and demon gall of the fire-pattern python, and then returned to the Green Bamboo Residence with the little monkey.

……

in the bedroom.

"Little Monkey, my name is Taiping, will you be called Ping An from now on?"

Xu Taiping put the little monkey on the table, and then wrote the word "Ping An" on the paper with a brush.

"Gee chi."

The little monkey nodded holding the piece of paper.

It seemed to understand the meaning of Xu Taiping's words.

After that, Xu Taiping brought some food for the little monkey.

Maybe it was too tired, the little monkey fell asleep on Xu Taiping's bed after eating a plate of mutton.

"Taiping, it's time to plant ground fruits."

Fairy Lingyue's soul body appeared beside Xu Taiping.

"Ah."

Xu Taiping nodded expectantly.

……

That night.

"Sister Lingyue, the hole has been dug."

In the elixir garden, Xu Taiping dug out four potholes, one big, three small and four, on the open space that had been reserved long ago.

"The east side belongs to the wood master for hair growth. Put the fire ganoderma into the small pit, which can breed treasures that increase the speed of practice."

"The north side belongs to the harmony of water. Putting gold, silver and silk in the small pit can breed treasures for healing and repairing."

"The west side belongs to the master of killing and cutting. Put Shuofeng beads, tiger heads, tiger gallbladders, snake heads, and snake gallbladders into the small pits to breed precious soldiers for killing and cutting."

Under the guidance of Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping poured the items prepared in advance into the three small pits according to different directions.

"Finally, put the Ksitigarbha fruit into the main pit and wait for three months."

After filling the three small pits, Xu Taiping took out the Ksitigarbha fruit and carefully put it into the main pit.

"Little Taiping, see you in three months."

The phantom of Fairy Lingyue floated above the main pit, she smiled and winked at Xu Taiping.

"Well, sister Lingyue, see you in three months."

Xu Taiping nodded.

After the double transformation of the Ksitigarbha Fruit, it takes three months for the fruit to mature, Fairy Lingyue has explained this to Xu Taiping in advance.

"Speaking of which, it's time for the medicine garden to sell seeds. Although the harvest of Nine-leaf Perilla was good last year, if you only rely on the merits you earn from selling Nine-leaf Perilla, you can save a hundred merit coins."

After planting the Ksitigarbha fruit, Xu Taiping muttered to himself looking at the barren medicine garden after selling the nine-leaf perilla.

"Including the merit coins I got from the ghosts and tiger demons, I still have about [-] merit coins left on me. Although it is enough for future expenses, it is not enough to buy medicinal materials and exercises. See In the coming year, we have to grow some more valuable medicinal materials."

While thinking this way, he returned to the bedroom.

Now he has a deep understanding that cultivation requires not only talent and perseverance, but also money, a lot of money, and money in Qingxuanmen is merit currency.

"Three months, it should be soon, right?"

Xu Taiping muttered something in a low voice, and then closed the door.
