In front of the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Unine is indeed a big shot. He actually perform the legendary Sword Flight. I wonder if I also roam the sky with a sword like Unine in my lifetime."

  Watg Unine's immortal figure flying away with a sword, Xu Taiping couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  "Little Taiping, why envy that old guy?"

  Just then, a female voice sounded in Xu Taiping's ear.

  Turning his head, he saw the somewhat transparent figure of Fairy Lingyue, who was already standing in the ter of the courtyard.

  "Taiping, it's time to break through the Opening Realm."

  Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a determined smile.

  ...

  That night.

  "This is everything that has happened while you were asleep, Fairy."

  Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue everything that had happened during this time, including how he desigo capture and kill the Evil Ghost.

  "Also, these few things are what dropped from him after killing the Evil Ghost st time."

  Then, Xu Taiping moved a small wooden box onto the table.

  "I inally po test the little guy's adaptability with this Evil Ghost, to see if he would shrink ihe Green Bamboo Residence or seek help from the cultivators at the West Wind Pavilion. I didn't expect him to kill the Evil Ghost with his own strength..."

  Fairy Lingyue looked at the small wooden box oable, then recalled Xu Taiping's narration, and when she looked at Xu Taiping, her eyes were full of amazement.

  "Fairy sister, did I... do something wrong?"

  Seeing Fairy Lingyue silent, just staring at him without blinking, Xu Taiping looked puzzled.

  "No." Fairy Lingyue shook her head with a smile, "You did very well, couldn't be better."

  "Really, I... just got lucky, entering the ghost of Qingmei and learning about the weakness of that Evil Ghost."

  Xu Taiping scratched his head.

  He felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

  "However, Fairy sister, there is still a Tiger Demon behind that Evil Ghost, currently rec from its injuries. When it's healed, it might e for revenge. you help me see if there's a good way to deal with that Tiger Demon?"

  Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the Tiger Demon.

  "Little Taiping, you don't o worry. During this sleep, I have already stabilized the remnant soul. Although I 't personally take a, there are still many ways to deal with a Tiger Demon. The five-hundred-year-old tiger gall is most suitable for brewing medie."

  Fairy Lingyue smiled.

  This smile made Xu Taiping shiver, suddenly feeling that this fairy sister o him might be even scarier than the Evil Ghost and Tiger Demon.

  "By the way, don't call me Fairy sister iure, call me Sister Lingyue. We are already on the same boat, o be so formal."

  Fairy Lingyue pouted at Xu Taiping.

  "Okay, Sister Lingyue... Sister Lingyue."

  Xu Taiping almost called her the wrong name again, and quickly corrected himself.

  Fairy Lingyue nodded in satisfa.

  "Open the wooden box, and I'll see what the Evil Ghost hid in it."

  She poio the wooden box oable.

  Xu Taiping hen opehe wooden box.

  "These three hundred Merit s should have been looted from the deceased cultivator. He didn't use this short sword when he fought me. As for this small broove, I don't know what it's for."

  He took out the short sword and the small broove directly from the wooden box.

  "This short sword... should be a magical tool. He didn't use it when he fought you because low-level ghost cultivators 't use magical tools, they will be backshed by the magic power tained in the magical tool."

  Fairy Lingyue carefully exami and then expio Xu Taiping.

  "Sister Lingyue, what is a magical tool, and how does it differ from a magical treasure?"

  Xu Taiping naturally didn't miss the opportunity to ask Fairy Lingyue for advice.

  "Magical tools are mostly used by low-level cultivators, while magical treasures only be refined and used by high-level cultivators. The general differeweewo is the differen power. In terms of power, even a high-quality magical tool may not be parable to a small magical treasure. Sedly, most magical tools are used to store the power of spells, and most have limited uses, some only be used once, while magical treasures are used by cultivators to cast spells and mostly have no limit on the number of uses."

  Fairy Lingyue expined i detail.

  Xu Taiping suddenly realized, and his doubts were reduced.

  "You try to ihe short sword with a strand of True Qi."

  Fairy Lingyue poio the short sword with her finger.

  "Okay."

  Xu Taiping nodded, immediately mobilized a strand of spiritual power from his dantian, and thehe Qi-guidihod he learned from the Green Bull Fist to ihe short sword with the spiritual power.

  "g!"Almost the moment spiritual power was infused into it, the short sword in Xu Taiping's hand suddeed a sword cry, and with a "whoosh," it broke free from its sheath and began to whirl around the bedroom on its own.

  "Could it actually be... a flying sword?"

  Xu Taiping's face was filled with surprise.

  "This kind of flying sword Magical Tool is only two or three times faster than ordinary arrows, how it be sidered a flying sword?"

  Fairy Lingyue expressed her disdain with a pout.

  "Fairy Lingyue, I've found that this sword seems to move acc to my will!"

  Xu Taiping's attention was now pletely captivated by the flying sword Magical Tool, and his face revealed a rare hint of childlike wonder.

  Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue felt an inexplicable pang of heartache, her heart brimming with tenderness as she thought:

  "After all, he is just a boy of over ten years old, at an age where he would still be coquettishly ging to his parents in an ordinary family."

  With this thought, her gaze softened siderably, and she nodded gently, instrug Xu Taiping:

  "That's how Magical Tools are. Once you ihem with spiritual power, they unicate with your iions. You will naturally e to know how to use them, as well as the number of times they be used."

  Hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded vigorously and said:

  "Fairy Lingyue is right, this flying sword Magical Tool ow only be used twice."

  After saying this, he trolled the short sword that was whirling around the room, and with a "g," it flew bato its sheath on its own.

  "Moreover, Fairy Lingyue, I just discovered that just by letting it whirl around a few times, a lot of the residual True Qi in my dantian has already been ed."

  Xu Taiping put away the short sword and theedly informed Fairy Lingyue.

  "Mm, the lower the grade of the Magical Tool, the greater the ption of True Qi and spiritual power. This is one of the biggest drawbaagical Tools, which is why high-level Cultivators often won't bother to refine Magical Tools."

  Fairy Lingyue wao reach out and wipe the sweat beads on Xu Taiping's forehead, but her hand stopped mid-air when she realized she couldn't actually touch him.

  "It's okay, Fairy Lingyue, I wipe it myself."

  Xu Taiping picked up a towel from nearby and vigorously wiped his face. Having obtained such a Magical Tool tonight, he was extremely happy.
