Xu Bansheng looked at Li Xiuping's face and said hurriedly: "I don't know which ones are useful to you, so I moved them all over, so you need to choose them yourself."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Bansheng stood and waved his hand, saying: "Then you watch first, I will continue cleaning, just call me if you need anything."
After Xu Bansheng left, Li Xiuping began to look through the books. He didn't know what to read, and he was shocked when he read them. Li Xiuping couldn't understand many things described in the books at all, but he didn't immediately call Xu Bansheng over to answer his questions. Instead, he read the things he didn't understand a few times and kept them in mind, planning to read them again when Xu Bansheng was free. One-time advice.
Time passed by quietly. Li Xiuping immersed himself in reading and turned his back on what was going on outside the window. He quickly read a lot of books, but he didn't gain much. He must have felt a little tired, so he put down the books in his hands. Looking at the books that were still like mountains, Li Xiuping couldn't help but sigh.
If he really had to read them one by one like this, he still didn't know how many years it would take to build a foundation, so Li Xiuping decided to give up this method of studying hard and first find out the books that would be most beneficial to his current situation. For example, the practice method related to the meridians can prescribe the right medicine.
According to conventional practice methods, if you want to successfully build a foundation, you must first open up the Ren and Du meridians, so that the true energy in the body can flow unimpeded and reach a new level. Only after completing this step can you be considered to have the ability to build a foundation. Basic conditions, but still far from true foundation building.
For those who are cultivating immortality and seeking knowledge, foundation building is just the beginning, but for those who practice martial arts, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to open up the two channels of Ren and Du. It not only requires great opportunities and adventures, but also requires the guidance of famous teachers. There is a steady stream of true energy that constantly breaks away the obstacles in the meridians...
Generally speaking, if a person who practices martial arts has reached this stage, he is almost considered a martial arts master and a first-class master.
It can be seen from this that the gap between martial arts and immortality is indeed worlds apart. Reaching the top of martial arts is only the beginning of practice. Therefore, those who are strong in martial arts are only able to fly over the walls. Even with the help of some heretical methods, they can only escape to the ground but not fly into the sky. But the monks are different. They can fly with swords and walk in the air. They can travel in the nine heavens without the help of any external objects. What's more, the soul can leave the body and see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in one day.
It is precisely for this reason that many practitioners do not find it surprising that Li Xiuping has achieved his current achievements and strength. Because everyone below the foundation level is a mortal, even if they don't have spiritual roots, they can reach this point by relying on the martial arts path. This only shows that Li Xiuping's talent in martial arts is astonishing.
However, no matter how far the martial arts goes, it is only a small path after all.
Therefore, without spiritual roots, there is no chance of immortality. This is a fact that cannot be changed for thousands of years.
In the next few days, Li Xiuping immersed himself in reading, but this time he had a purpose. He screened out many books that were of no use to him now, and only focused on pursuing ways and means to open up the two channels of Ren and Du. However, this is the ultimate in martial arts after all, and it cannot be achieved so easily. So after this period of time, not only did Li Xiuping gain nothing, but he was also filled with confusion.
I didn't know anything before, so I thought everything was simple and could be done with just a few moves. Now the more I understand and discover the mysteries, the more I realize how difficult this road is.
In terms of gains, Li Xiuping's only gain is that his injuries have improved a lot. With Xu Bansheng's support, he can now walk around the Huayang Sect and become familiar with the general situation of the Huayang Sect.
The man driving the car did not leave, but wanted to make sure that Li Xiuping was safe before leaving. He said that only after making sure that Li Xiuping was safe could he fulfill his mission and go back to deal with Gao Yunmian.
Simple, honest, firm, persistent, and consistent from beginning to end, many of the ordinary men in Ye Xingsi possess these qualities.
In fact, something happened during this period, not a big thing, but not a small thing either.
The entire Huayang Sect didn't know why the leader Fang Tianhe would choose to leave the Huayang Sect at this time. After all, the Immortal Ascension Conference was not long away. The top priority of this leader Fang should be to lead the Huayang Sect to prepare for the Immortal Ascension Conference, but he just walked down the mountain without any news.
Although Xu Bansheng felt that his master was hiding, the elders of the sect did not think so.
Their leader Fang often seems to be unreliable and irresponsible. However, in the face of big issues, the responsibility and responsibility shown are not something that ordinary people can compare with. Otherwise, this leader's position would not be possible. onto his head.
Huayang Sect can still stand firm despite the declining situation and still occupy a place among the thousands of sects in Yunzhou. This is a great contribution to the head of Fang. It’s just that everything has its fate. It’s not anyone’s fault that the Huayang Sect has gone from being a large sect thousands of years ago to the current situation where the population is declining. It’s destiny.
As dynasties change, their prosperity must decline. The same principle applies to the mountains, but it takes a longer period of time compared to the mountains.
Saving the Huayang Sect is not a problem that can be solved by the efforts of the elders, nor is it a problem that can be changed by their master Fang's teachings and spiritual methods. Therefore, the great elder urgently hopes that Li Xiuping can forge swords. Only in this way can it be possible to save the Huayang Sect, or at least allow the Huayang Sect's complete decline to continue for some time.
So don't say that Li Xiuping has no spiritual roots. Even if he has extraordinary talent, he will find a way to let Li Xiuping forge swords when he gets to Huayang Sect.
What the Huayang Sect needs now is a person who can bring huge benefits to the Huayang Sect, not a spiritual genius with extraordinary talents, and naturally not a useless person who can't make swords and can't practice.
It is for this reason that after knowing Li Xiuping's whereabouts, even though Huayang Sect knew clearly that it could not compete with those big sects, it still left with a glimmer of hope, hoping to bring back a swordsmith. The great master turned the tide for Huayang Sect.
It's good now, they brought the person back, but unfortunately it's not the person they wanted...
At this moment, Fang Tianhe, the head of Huayang Sect, was standing alone outside the mountain gate of Chaoxianmen with a sword on his back.
The trouble he caused should be borne by himself, but now he has implicated two juniors. Since the Chaoxian Sect is unkind, he can only help his disciples seek justice from the Chaoxian Sect.
On this day, a thin old man killed the Chaoxianmen with one sword and one man? The disciples of Chao Xian Sect lost over a hundred lives in the battle and injured countless others. Then the leader of the Chao Xian Sect left in a swaggering manner. Dozens of powerful golden elixir masters from the Chao Xian Sect could not stop him at all.
So this time, almost all the Immortal Cultivating Sects in Yunzhou participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference, except for the Chao Immortal Sect.
It's just that Fang Tianhe didn't say anything about this, and Chaoxian Sect naturally wouldn't publicize it everywhere, so not many people knew about it. Until many years later, when Xu Bansheng knew the truth, he still couldn't hold back tears and said that he had wrongly blamed his master.
Of course, this is something.
At this moment, Xu Bansheng and Li Xiuping didn't look good because the elder of Huayang Sect suddenly summoned Li Xiuping.
When the great elder summoned him at this time, he naturally made arrangements for Li Xiuping. After all, Li Xiuping had been on the mountain for some time, but until now, he was still not justified.
Originally, Li Xiuping thought that he could successfully build the foundation before the Great Elder summoned him, which would be good for everyone. But now let alone building foundations, even the most basic opening of meridians cannot be accomplished.
After studying hard for this period of time and gaining a new understanding of spiritual practice, Li Xiuping realized that building a foundation was far away for him.
But no matter what, since the great elder summoned him, he could only go to see him. As for how he would be treated, he could only take it one step at a time.
Zhengyang Hall.
This is the largest palace of the Huayang Sect. All matters, big or small, in the Huayang Sect will almost always come from here and then reach the ears of countless Huayang Sect disciples.
Xu Bansheng accompanied Li Xiuping to the gate of Zhengyang Hall, and two disciples stopped Xu Bansheng and said, "Junior Brother Xu, the Great Elder only summoned Junior Brother Li, and asked Junior Brother Xu to wait outside."
Xu Bansheng couldn't help but frown.
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "It's okay. Speaking of which, I've been in Huayang Sect for so long, so it's time for me to pay homage to the elders."
Xu Bansheng could only stop and watch Li Xiuping walk into the hall. After he completely disappeared, he asked: "Two senior brothers, what does the elder have to say about junior brother Li's arrangements?"
The two disciples smiled and shook their heads: "We are only responsible for conveying orders, and we don't know anything else. I hope Junior Brother Xu can understand."
Xu Bansheng nodded, glanced at the main hall again, then walked aside, waiting for Li Xiuping to come out.
In the main hall, Li Xiuping walked in alone, and countless Huayang Sect elders sat side by side, majestic and solemn.
Even when facing a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xiuping could treat them as equals, neither humble nor arrogant. But at this moment, the young man felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The young man saluted these elders one by one and said loudly: "Disciple Li Xiuping, I have met all the elders."
Seeing the young man at such an age and in such a situation, but still able to deal with it calmly, many people couldn't help but secretly admire him, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
How come such a child has no spiritual roots?
"Li Xiuping, I have heard of you a long time ago. You have performed well along the way and will not damage the majesty of our Huayang Sect." From the main seat, a tall old man spoke first.
Li Xiuping said hurriedly: "What the disciple did was just to protect himself. I just hope that it will not bring trouble to the sect. I really don't dare to praise him like this when the great elder."
The old man nodded and asked again: "I heard that you don't make swords?"
Li Xiuping did not answer immediately this time, but fell into thinking.
The matter of forging swords is very important to Huayang Sect, or to any sect. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many strong men from the Xianmen family in Qingyang County. In front of his door.
Whether or not to forge a sword depends on whether he can successfully build the foundation, so now Li Xiuping has two choices.
First, just like what he did in Qingyang County, he directly stated that he did not make swords. As for how to say it, just say that it was the rule set by Mr. Ou Ye.
In this way, he will be a useless person to the entire Huayang Sect. Putting aside everything else, whether he can stay in the Huayang Sect is still a question.
Second, tell the truth, explain clearly the reason why you don't make swords, and show that once you build the foundation, you can make swords for Huayang Sect.
In this way, perhaps we can use the power of the entire Huayang Sect to help him build the foundation. After all, the sooner he builds the foundation, the better it will be for the Huayang Sect. And with the help of the entire Huayang Sect, it would be much better to build the foundation than trying to figure it out on his own.
In addition, since he has now come to Huayang Sect and is considered a member of Huayang Sect, it seems that there is no problem in making it clear that he cannot forge swords.
So this choice is not difficult for Li Xiuping.
To be honest, it is in my own interest. At least I can get a good status in Huayang Sect. It will be more convenient when I need to use some sect resources in the future, such as the qualification to go to the library.
Having made up his mind, Li Xiuping raised his eyes and looked at the great elder of the Huayang Sect. As soon as the words came to his lips, Li Xiuping swallowed them back, shook his head and said: "Not forging swords is a rule set by my master, and it is hard to violate the master's order. .”
As soon as these words came out, all the elders in the hall frowned.
They had actually known about Li Xiuping's failure to forge swords for a long time, but now that they heard Li Xiuping say it from his own words, they still couldn't help but feel regretful.
He is the only person who has inherited the mantle of Mr. Ou Ye, the master swordsmith, but now he has given up swordmaking because of a rule. This is not only a loss for the Huayang Sect, but also a loss for the entire human world.
But Li Xiuping said so, so naturally they had no choice but to force Li Xiuping to forge a sword.
Of course, if coercion is useful, they won't mind doing it. Just from Li Xiuping's actions, we can see that it is impossible to force this child to do anything, and it will cause unnecessary trouble if it is not done well.
After all, he is a disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, and he has the affection left over from Mr. Ou Ye. If he really gets to that point, it will not be of any benefit to the entire Huayang Sect, and it will even accelerate the decline of the Huayang Sect. .
All the elders said nothing and looked at the young man standing in the hall.
The young man was thin and standing there alone, looking a little lonely and small. But there is a kind of lonely and independent self-confidence in the young man, and a kind of indifference that is arrogant to everything.
Excellent character! This is the unanimous judgment of all the elders, but this cannot change the fact that he has no spiritual roots.
Perhaps, this is the most unfair thing about God. It has given you unparalleled wisdom and perseverance, but at the same time, it wants to take away your very core.
Perhaps, this is the most fair thing about God. He will only give you one thing, and will not put all the advantages in you alone.
"You should know that our Huayang Sect is a place for seeking immortality and asking questions, and a place that emphasizes abilities and talents. You have no talent, can't practice, and don't make swords. I really don't know why I want you to continue to stay in Huayang. Yang Zong.”
After a while, the great elder sighed, his voice loud and clear, echoing in the empty hall.
