Mortal Bones

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded, "But Master Sansan would carve the practice content on a wooden board every day. The content is very detailed, and I have benefited a lot."

Xu Taiping still respected Sansan layman very much.

After hearing this, not only Xu Ziyan, but also Zhao Linglong felt a little incredible this time.

"How many days has this San San layman taught you Taiping?"

Zhao Linglong asked seriously.

"It's been almost half a month since then."

Xu Taiping answered truthfully.

"Only half a month?"

Xu Ziyan held her forehead.

In his opinion, no matter how good the teacher Sansan was, or how talented Xu Taiping was, just half a month of sword-wielding practice was not even enough to make up for the situation in this competition.

"Junior brother, what did the Third and Third Elders teach you?"

Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face.

Rather than whether Xu Taiping could perform well in the Seven Peaks Competition, what she was more worried about at the moment was the inexplicable Sansan layman, worrying whether he had taught her junior brother bad things.

"On the first day, Master Sansan carved the formula for sword control on a wooden board and asked me to practice it on my own. Then he asked me to try to use the sword to make sword marks on the cliff."

"For the next ten days, I repeated this almost every day."

Xu Taiping replied briefly.

"that's it?"

When Zhao Linglong heard this, she felt a little unbelievable and wished she could go back to Qifeng to discuss it with her unreliable father.

Xu Ziyan also frowned.

"Sounds interesting."

When Lin Buyu heard this, he put away the script in his hand and showed strong interest.

"Yes, it is indeed interesting."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

He was not speaking for Elder Sansan, but he really found it interesting, at least he enjoyed it himself.

"That elder San San, how many sword marks did you want to make on that cliff in one day?"

Lin Buyu then asked Xu Taiping.

This question obviously gets to the point.

Zhao Linglong and Xu Ziyan also looked at Xu Taiping curiously.

"On the first day it was three thousand."

Xu Taiping thought for a while and replied.

"Three thousand?!"

Xu Ziyan and Zhao Linglong exclaimed in unison.

"On the first day of learning to wield a sword, you are asked to make three thousand sword marks on a hundred-foot-high cliff?"

Zhao Linglong felt more and more that these Sansan lay people were a bit unreliable.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult for me to complete this task for the first time with my sword, so I..."

"So you're not done yet, right?"

Before Xu Taiping could speak, Zhao Linglong interrupted him angrily, and then said even more unfairly:

"Don't worry Taiping, it's normal if you can't finish it on the first day."

"It was really close to not being completed."

Xu Taiping nodded in approval.

"I almost couldn't finish it. In other words, you finished it?"

Xu Ziyan's eyes lit up.

"Um."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Although I was busy until late at night, I finally finished it. Because I was worried that Elder Sansan would think that I was just trying to complete the task, I specially added another sword, a total of three thousand and one swords."

he continued.

"Are you able to draw the sword three thousand times with the sword control technique on the first day?"

Xu Ziyan and Zhao Linglong looked at each other, both of them looking in disbelief.

"What about the next few days? Has Elder Sansan made any more requests to you?"

Zhao Linglong couldn't wait to know what happened next.

"In the next few days, I don't have any special requirements, but after that I will stab 600 more swords every day. If I have enough time, I will go down the mountain early after stabbing."

Xu Taiping replied calmly.

He just thought he was exchanging sword practice experiences with his fellow disciples.

He said it very easily, but Xu Ziyan and Zhao Linglong on the side became more and more frightened as they listened.

"But just four or five days ago, after I was able to stab six thousand swords in three hours, Elder Sansan gave me a new task."

Xu Taiping continued.

"What mission?"

Zhao Linglong asked again immediately.

"Yu Jian is carving words on the cliff, at least three thousand words every day."

Xu Taiping replied.

He practiced alone most of the time and rarely exchanged his cultivation experience with his fellow disciples, so he felt very fresh and answered very seriously.

At this time, Zhao Linglong couldn't sit still at all.

"Taiping, are you finished too?"

she asked with a look of surprise on her face.

"It's done, but it will take a lot more time and there is no way to go home early."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong and Xu Ziyan looked at each other again, and then both chose silence.

"Is this speed of practice... too slow?"

Seeing the silence between the two, Xu Taiping thought that his performance had disappointed the two senior sisters.

He had no choice but to know too little about sword cultivation. He only learned how to carve sword marks and write from Master Sansan every day, so he didn't know much about the progress of a normal monk's practice.

But judging from the words that Sansan layman carved on the wooden board every day, he felt that his talent might be really average. Otherwise, Sansan layman wouldn't be able to find so many faults?

"However, I feel that although it is a little slow, as long as I can write one more word, I can feel my progress, so I think Elder Sansan's teaching method is very suitable for me."

He immediately added another sentence.

"It's not suitable for you, it's only suitable for you!"

Xu Ziyan said with a bit of a smile.

"Why did Senior Sister Ziyan say that?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

He thought that everyone in Qingxuan Sect practiced swords in this way.

"Taiping, you may not know."

Zhao Linglong looked at Xu Taiping with some excitement and said:

"In Qingxuan Sect, when disciples first practice the art of flying swords, they can be considered successful if they can successfully fly the sword within ten months, and they can be considered a minor success if they can control the flying sword according to their own control within one month. Those who can freely control the flying sword to write words, unless they are geniuses like Second Senior Brother, will need at least three months, and Taiping, you only took half a month!"

"It only took us half a month." Xu Ziyan smiled and looked at Lin Buyu.

"It's fourteen days." Lin Buyu corrected.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was surprised at first, and then he was full of suspicion: "Other senior brothers actually need so long? But I feel it's quite simple, could it be because of the nameless sword-controlling mental method of San San Layman?"

Apart from the fact that he was a mortal, he knew his talent for cultivation very well. Although it was not bad, it was definitely not a gifted talent. The reason why he was able to catch up with the progress of other disciples in cultivation before was entirely due to time and treasures such as dragon gall wine.

So in his opinion, there is only one possibility, that is, San San Layman taught better than others.

"San San Layman's swordsmanship is not inferior to Uncle Jiu..."

Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the evaluation of San San Layman in the letter from the peak master, and instantly strengthened his guess.

It must be this reason!
