Mortal bone

The years in the mountains are short.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

During these three months, Xu Taiping lived very leisurely.

In addition to practicing Canxia Gong and several martial arts and techniques at a fixed time every day, the rest of the time must either go to the medicine garden to water the herbs, catch insects and fertilize, or teach the little monkey to speak and read safely.

Because of the aptitude of the spirit bones, the progress of the Can Xia Gong has become very slow as he expected, and the sea of ​​energy in the dantian has not yet formed, and it is still foggy.

But Xu Taiping is not in a hurry, after all, the current situation is beyond his control, and he can only wait for the ground Tibetan fruit to mature before seeing if there is a solution.

Besides, the medicinal materials in the elixir garden, this year he mainly grows Polygonum multiflorum, this kind of Polygonum multiflorum root has snow-white roots, it is a good medicine for curing damage caused by sword qi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a precious medicine in the secular world.

This snow root Polygonum multiflorum is ripe once a year, and one catty can be exchanged for ten merit coins, but only one-third of the snow roots can grow in the end. For example, a three-acre medicine garden can produce at most fifty catties , only [-] merit coins, excluding the [-] merit coins of the seeds, the profit is only [-].

However, because of the Spirit Gathering Formation set up by Fairy Lingyue, and based on the experience of Jiuye Zisu last year, Xu Taiping felt that it would be no problem to produce about 160 jin a year.

In this way, he can earn at least [-] merit coins.

In addition to Polygonum multiflorum, Xu Taiping also planted a lot of medicinal materials needed for Qi Gathering Pills, which will be enough for him to refine at least ten Qi Gathering Pills after they mature within a year.

"The most expensive medicinal material that outer sect casual cultivators can buy is the snow root Polygonum multiflorum. That is to say, if the outer sect disciples don't snatch it, they can earn at most two to three hundred merit coins in three years. It seems that All of this was calculated by Qingxuanzong in advance."

After two hours of practice of Can Xia Kung Fu, Xu Taiping got out of bed and began to think about his income for this year.

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

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

"Okay, I'll accompany you after dinner."

Xu Taiping smiled and stood up.

More than a year has passed, and he is no longer the skinny boy he was when he first went up the mountain.

Not to mention the height of six feet, the flesh and bones have become very well-proportioned and strong, and there are some edges and corners on the originally immature face, and there is a bit of youthful air in the handsome.

"Great."

Hearing that Xu Taiping wanted to play chess with it, the little monkey happily jumped onto the stool beside it.

Although only three months have passed, this little monkey with the blood of a spirit beast is extremely intelligent, not only has learned the human language, but also fell in love with playing chess with Xu Taiping.

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

First of all, according to Xu Taiping's requirements, he will read and practice calligraphy every day, and he will also help Xu Taiping take care of the medicine garden and do housework. Recently, he even learned how to make a fire and cook.

"By the way, Xu Taiping, that person is here again. He asked me to tell you that he will come again."

The little monkey jumped onto Xu Taiping's shoulder while talking.

"When he comes again, you still tell him that I just want to practice with peace of mind, and I'm not interested in joining the Yunlou Association."

Xu Taiping patted the little monkey's head and said.

The so-called Yunlou Society is actually an organization of loose cultivators from the outer sect of Yunlu Mountain. After joining, the casual cultivators of the outer sect will be able to obtain the protection of the Yunlou Society. Like the last time Xu Taiping was attacked by monsters, he can ask them call for help.

At the beginning, he also considered whether to join this organization, after all, it would give him more protection, but after asking Bai Yu about the situation of the Yunlou Club, he changed his mind.

First of all, after joining the Yunlou Club, after deducting the part that was handed over to Qingxuanzong, you have to turn over the remaining one-third of your income in the medicine garden or fairyland to the Yunlou Club.

Secondly, you have to obey the orders of the Yunlou Society at any time, and follow the monks in the group to hunt and kill monsters.

Although there are rewards after hunting monsters, most of them still have to be handed over to the Yunlou Club.

In addition to the above two, what completely dispelled Xu Taiping's idea of ​​joining the club was Bai Yu's warning to him-"Fan Yunlou Club's monks have become Qifeng's disciples, and most of them will be threatened by Yunlou Club. They provided sect information and handed over a huge amount of merit coins."

Because of this, Xu Taiping decided not to pay attention to them.

According to Bai Yu, as long as you don't show up, these people will leave automatically after harassing you for a period of time, so don't worry about it.

"Peace, don't step out of the yard when talking to that person."

Xu Taiping then warned the little monkey again.

"Okay, Xu Taiping."

The little monkey nodded seriously.

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard to have a look at the gourd vine. If there is no accident, sister Lingyue should wake up tonight."

Xu Taiping took the little monkey off his shoulders, hugged it in his arms and walked towards the medicine garden in the backyard.

……

In the medicine garden.

At this time, the medicine garden was no longer the barren scene it was three months ago, it had become lush and lush, and the fragrance of elixir could still be smelled from time to time.

Among the medicinal herb seedlings swaying in the wind, a gourd vine with green leaves and three gourds of different colors on it are particularly conspicuous.

And these three gourds are the fruits of the double transformation of the Ksitigarbha fruit.

"Xu Taiping, this gourd smells so good."

The little monkey took a sniff with its nose and licked its lips greedily.

"Little monkey, if you dare to eat me, aren't you afraid of getting into your stomach and messing up your stomach?"

Xu Taiping was just about to talk about the little monkey, but the green gourd among the three gourds suddenly made a sound, and it was a pleasant female voice.

Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping immediately raised the corners of his mouth, looked at the gourd very happily and said:

"Sister Lingyue, you finally woke up."
