Mortal Bones

"How's Taiping?"

"I don't know, the door isn't open yet."

"If you eat the Dragon Tooth Fruit raw, Junior Brother Qifeng will treat you even more harshly than Senior Brother Qingxiao."

In the small courtyard of Yuluyuan, several female disciples from Liufeng were discussing Xu Taiping in a low voice, looking towards the backyard from time to time.

"If it hadn't been for Junior Brother Taiping this time, we would all have died here."

Zhou Ao, who had been silent all this time, spoke now.

Several people nodded after hearing this.

"Seventh Junior Brother, go and have a look."

"That's right, go take a look and see how Taiping's injuries are."

"Senior Sister Zi Yan didn't let us pass just now. You are also a male disciple, so there should be no problem."

Several senior sisters said to Zhou Ao.

"Um."

Zhou Ao nodded, then walked towards the backyard.

…

Backyard door.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan, Junior Sister Buyu."

Zhou Ao greeted the two people standing at the door.

Xu Ziyan nodded slightly.

Lin Buyu seemed not to have heard, still staring at a stone house in the backyard.

The stone house was originally supposed to be a place for discussing confidential matters. Once the stone door was closed, no sound could be heard from inside.

"Seventh Junior Brother, how is your injury?"

Xu Ziyan asked Zhou Ao.

Today, Zhou Ao received a blow from the demon cultivator head-on, and was seriously injured.

"I'm fine. I'm still half a martial artist, so these flesh wounds are nothing."

Zhou Ao shook his head.

However, his pale face and weak tone when he spoke all showed that he was trying to hold on.

Xu Ziyan said nothing, just patted Zhou Ao's shoulder gently.

"Senior sister, how is Junior Brother Taiping?"

Zhou Ao asked Xu Ziyan.

"I don't know." Xu Ziyan shook her head, then sighed:

"He has been inside the stone house and has not come out. He shouted several times, but no one responded."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ao suddenly looked nervous.

"Will not have any problems?"

He asked Xu Ziyan worriedly.

"I'm not sure either. Master repeatedly told me before leaving not to eat raw dragon tooth fruit. Now it seems that the harm is really serious."

Xu Ziyan frowned.

"boom!"

At this moment, a violent collision suddenly came from the stone house in the backyard.

"Bang, bang!"

Not long after, the collision sounded again, like someone hitting the ground and walls with their fists.

"Sister, let me go in and take a look. Don't let anything go wrong."

Zhou Ao said very worriedly.

"Zheng!"

As soon as Zhou Ao finished speaking, Lin Buyu drew his sword and blocked the backyard door.

"No one is allowed in until Xu Taiping comes out."

Lin Buyu said in an indifferent voice.

"This is Taiping's explanation before he went in."

Seeing Zhou Ao's puzzled face, Xu Ziyan immediately explained for Lin Buyu.

Then, everyone heard several sounds of fists hitting the wall and the floor at the entrance of the courtyard, and even a few painful groans.

Even Zhou Ao could guess at this moment that Xu Taiping was suffering from the backlash of the Dragon Tooth Fruit in the stone house.

But they certainly didn't know that what Xu Taiping was suffering at this moment was far more than the backlash from the Dragon Tooth Fruit.

He was also suffering from the pain of the ghost-sealing talisman devouring his blood, the pain of overdrafting his body in advance after exerting his power beyond the extreme, and the impact of taking a large amount of gentian wine on his soul.

The pain caused by the backlash of the Dragon Tooth Fruit was actually the lightest.

…

After a long time.

There was no more collision sound in the stone house.

The painful groaning sound no longer sounded.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan, Junior Sister Buyu, you can come in."

At this time, Xu Taiping's voice sounded from inside the stone house.

"Get over it."

Hearing this, Xu Ziyan let out a long breath.

Lin Buyu's indifferent expression also softened slightly.

"Senior sister, can I go in and take a look together?"

Seeing Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu walking toward the backyard, Zhou Ao suddenly asked Xu Ziyan for instructions.

"come together."

Xu Ziyan nodded.

Lin Buyu didn't look back at all and walked straight to the door of the stone house.

…

Inside the stone house.

Although she was mentally prepared, Xu Ziyan was still startled by the scene in the stone house.

I saw bloody fist marks everywhere on the walls and the ground of the stone house, and the air was filled with a heart-stopping violent energy.

The biggest impact on several people was Xu Taiping himself.

At this time, Xu Taiping was as pale as paper, and his whole body seemed to have been soaked in blood, and his clothes were all dyed blood red.

What surprised Xu Ziyan and Zhou Ao the most was Xu Taiping's body.

I saw that Xu Taiping's originally well-proportioned body had now become as skinny as a stick.

They could not imagine what kind of pain could cause a person to lose so much weight in less than a stick of incense.

"Taiping, how do you feel?"

Xu Ziyan asked with worried eyes.

"It's okay now. I don't have to worry about you, Senior Sister."

Xu Taiping stood up with great difficulty.

Zhou Ao saw this and stepped forward to support him.

"Thank you."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly to Zhou Ao.

"It's me who should say thank you."

Zhou Ao looked ashamed.

"Third Senior Sister made half of the roast goose for you."

Lin Buyu handed Xu Taiping a roast goose wrapped in oil paper.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Buyu, I'm hungry right now."

Xu Taiping took the half of the roast goose with a smile and ate it in front of Lin Buyu.

"If you still have the appetite to eat, it means everything is fine. Come on, let's go to the dining hall. I'll ask Third Junior Sister to prepare some more food for you. I'll also boil a pot of hot water and help you prepare a medicated bath. It's my sixth sister. Feng’s exclusive secret recipe will definitely make you feel more energetic after drinking it.”

Seeing that Xu Taiping could still eat a lot, Xu Ziyan was immediately relieved and her tone of voice became lighter.

"Rumble..."

As soon as a few people walked out of the stone house with their front legs, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky above their back legs.

When I looked up, I saw that the sky that was clear just a moment ago was suddenly covered with clouds.
