"Mm." Xu Taiping smiled and nodded. "I gained a little during these three years of seclusion."
With that, he stepped forward and caught Second Senior Brother Dugu Qingxiao, supporting him.
Zhao Linglong and Jiang Zhi, who stood nearby, also came over to the two of them, their faces full of joy.
"Junior Brother, so you spent those three years in seclusion studying fist techniques!"
Zhao Linglong stepped forward and hooked her arm through Xu Taiping's.
Ever since Xu Taiping had been afflicted with the Bone-Shattering Curse because of the Azure Profound Sect, forever losing his chance at the path of immortality, Zhao Linglong, Dugu Qingxiao, and the others had secretly blamed themselves.
Now that they saw Xu Taiping could still advance his Martial Dao cultivation despite the Bone-Shattering Curse, the three were naturally overjoyed.
"Taiping, pursuing Martial Dao cultivation is the right path for you now."
Dugu Qingxiao gave Xu Taiping's shoulder a firm pat, then continued with a broad smile, "After breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm, you have at least three hundred years to live. If you can spend those three hundred years tempering your physique and devoting yourself to Martial Dao cultivation techniques..."
"If you temper both your physique and your Martial Dao cultivation techniques to the Ultimate Realm, you can still accomplish great things in the future."
Seeing how much the three cared about him, Xu Taiping truly felt reluctant to keep hiding everything that had happened to him in the Mysterious Wasteland Tower.
But reason told him that letting Dugu Qingxiao and the other two learn about everything that had happened to him in the Mysterious Wasteland Tower ahead of time would bring them nothing but harm.
