Vol.1 – Chapter 18 – Earn Merit, Obtain Green Bull Fist Piercing Yang Arrow


Another day passed.

 

"Squeak!…"

 

Xu Taiping, who was cultivating, suddenly heard the cry of a spirit bird at the gate.

 

"It should be Uncle Diao coming to give me money."

 

Xu Taiping quickly jumped off the bed.

 

When he arrived at the gate, he indeed saw the white-headed eagle from yesterday.

 

"Smack!"

 

The white-headed eagle didn't waste any words and directly threw a bag of money to Xu Taiping, then said coldly:

 

"A total of ninety-seven merit coins were sold. After deducting my three coins, there are still ninety-four left. You can count them."

 

"No need to count, thank you, Uncle Diao."

 

Xu Taiping arched his hand and thanked him.

 

These spirit birds of Yunlu Mountain have all made a blood contract with Qingxuan Sect and would never engage in such petty theft.

 

Xu Taiping's actions softened the gaze of the white-headed eagle towards him.

 

"I am in charge of this area now."

 

The white-headed eagle said indifferently.

 

"Then I will have to trouble Uncle Diao in the future."

 

Xu Taiping nodded.

 

"Hmm? Why is there a demonic beast aura in your courtyard?"

 

The white-headed eagle was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head and looked at the courtyard behind Xu Taiping with a suspicious look.

 

"This eagle brother can actually sense the aura of the demonic wolf in my courtyard?"

 

Xu Taiping was somewhat surprised.

 

But he had no intention of hiding it, so he told the white-headed eagle about what happened yesterday and the current situation. After all, there was nothing to hide.

 

"How could there be a demonic wolf on Yanglu Mountain?"

 

After listening to Xu Taiping's story, the white-headed eagle also had a puzzled look.

 

"You have good luck, but it's better not to go to Yanglu Mountain recently. I will inform West Wind Pavilion about this matter."

 

The white-headed eagle didn't seem to intend to investigate further.

 

"That would be great."

 

Xu Taiping gratefully nodded.

 

It was good for someone from the sect to come and take a look. After all, his current cultivation level couldn't deal with any monsters.

 

"By the way, do you plan to sell the corpse of the demonic wolf?"

 

At this moment, the white-headed eagle asked again.

 

"Sell, of course, sell!"

 

Xu Taiping nodded without hesitation.

 

"If you want it, Uncle Diao, you can have it."

 

Xu Taiping said readily.

 

He didn't mind using the corpse of the demonic wolf to make friends with the white-headed eagle in front of him.

 

"How can I take something from a young man like you, especially something you risked your life for."

 

The white-headed eagle glanced at Xu Taiping and his good impression of the young man increased.

 

"Here's the deal. If you sell the corpse of the demonic wolf yourself, it would probably be worth about ten merit coins. But I am willing to offer twenty merit coins. What do you think, young man?"

 

The white-headed eagle asked.

 

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping didn't hesitate. He returned to the courtyard without saying a word and dragged out the corpse of the demonic wolf.

 

"Uncle Diao, take it."

 

He placed the corpse of the demonic wolf in front of the white-headed eagle.

 

"Young man, keep it well."

 

Seeing this, the white-headed eagle smiled and flapped its wings, accurately throwing twenty merit coins in front of Xu Taiping.

 

"By the way, the former sect master gave me the name Baihong. You can call me Uncle Bai."

 

While saying this, the white-headed eagle picked up the corpse of the demonic wolf on the ground, then flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

 

"The former sect master personally gave me a name."

 

Xu Taiping murmured as he watched the white-headed eagle leave.

 

"This unexpected event earned me twenty merit coins. I must choose a good martial technique and a handy weapon."

 

Looking at the money bag in his left hand and the twenty merit coins in his right hand, Xu Taiping rarely revealed his childish nature and happily jumped back into the courtyard.

 

***

 

Back in his bedroom.

 

Xu Taiping directly threw a merit coin into the bronze mirror.

 

【Xu Taiping from Green Bamboo Residence, why have you come to find me?】

 

The voice of the mirror spirit sounded.

 

"Lord Xuan Mirror, I want to choose a few martial techniques and weapons. Do you have any recommendations?"

 

Although he already knew that this mirror spirit was just an emotionless object, Xu Taiping still spoke very politely.

 

【As an outer disciple, you can only purchase martial techniques and weapons from the martial library of West Wind Pavilion. The bronze mirror has already displayed the martial techniques and weapons that are currently available in West Wind Pavilion. You can choose for yourself】

 

The voice of the mirror spirit still lacked any emotional color.

 

"Thank you, Lord Xuan Mirror."

 

Xu Taiping thanked him and began to browse through the options on the table.

 

"I remember that when Master Ziyang was lecturing, he said that the most suitable martial technique for 'Fading Sunset Scripture' is fist and palm techniques. This can maximize the advantage of practitioners of Fading Sunset True Qi, and after using Fading Sunset True Qi, every punch and palm strike can be as powerful as a full-force strike from an ordinary person wielding a weapon."

 

Recalling the content of Master Ziyang's lecture that day, Xu Taiping decisively locked his gaze on a set of fist and palm techniques displayed on the bronze mirror.

 

In the end, he chose a set of fist techniques called "Green Bull Fist".

 

According to the introduction of this fist technique, after practicing the "Green Bull Fist" and using the true qi in the body, every punch can shatter rocks in the mountains.In addition to this, the Green Bull Fist has two ultimate moves.

 

One is called "Bull Horn Crashes Mountain". When exerted with full force, its power is like a green bull crashing into a mountain, eight times stronger than the ordinary Green Bull Fist.

 

The other is called "Charging Bull Formation". When exerted with full force, the fist's momentum is like a herd of bulls running wildly, each punch stronger than the last, never stopping until exhausted.

 

Overall, this Green Bull Fist is very suitable for Xu Taiping at the moment, and it is also very compatible with the Canxia Gong, which can quickly recover True Qi.

 

Of course, in the armory of the West Wind Pavilion, there are actually better and more suitable boxing techniques than the Green Bull Fist. However, it's a pity that the prices of those boxing techniques are mostly over a hundred Merit coins, while the Green Bull Fist only requires thirty Merit coins.

 

As a martial art that only serves as a transition and is used for self-defense, the Green Bull Fist couldn't be more suitable.

 

In addition to the Green Bull Fist, Xu Taiping spent another ten Merit coins to purchase a bow and arrow martial art called "Piercing Yang Arrow".

 

This martial art is quite ordinary, it only teaches the practitioner how to use True Qi to enhance their eyesight and steadiness, and how to infuse True Qi into the arrows to increase their power.

 

Simply put, it elevates ordinary archery to the level of a practitioner.

 

However, for Xu Taiping, it's a great deal to be able to buy such a martial art for the price of ten Merit coins.

 

For example, if he had known the method of infusing arrows with True Qi last time, he probably wouldn't have needed the mountain's mechanism and could have killed the demon wolf directly.
