As the two steps disappeared, Li Xiuping appeared on the fifth floor, standing with Qi Wenxing.
After Li Xiuping took a breath, he saluted and said, "I've met Brother Qi."
Qi Wenxing smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Come with me."
He led Li Xiuping forward and said: "This Chao Guan Pavilion is the holy place of my Guan Chao Academy, and it is also one of the seven holy places in this world. There is a question of heart sword intention on the top. Can you rely on your current cultivation? To reach the fifth floor is beyond my expectations.”
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "If it weren't for Brother Qi, I wouldn't be able to cross the last two steps."
Qi Wenxing smiled and waved his hand. At this time, the two of them walked to the balcony on the fifth floor. Just as Li Xiuping guessed, they could indeed see the sea from here, and it felt like climbing high and looking far away.
Qi Wenxing looked at Li Xiuping and said with a smile, "You should call me senior brother now."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "You asked me to come here just to make me let go of my obsessions with the Sword Intention of Asking the Heart?"
Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "You can feel at ease only if you can let go. This is your fate with Confucianism, and it is also your fate with Guanchao Academy."
He looked into the distance and continued: "There will be a grand gathering in the Seven Holy Lands recently, and then a secret realm will be opened. Being able to enter it will be of great benefit to you, so you are not tempted?"
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "There are so many geniuses in the academy, why did you choose me?"
Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "This ranking is directly related to the order of the seven holy places. Although you are only in the foundation-building stage, you are invincible under the Nascent Soul. There is no more suitable candidate than you."
He continued: "Don't worry, except for those four immortal treasures, if you enter the secret realm, the benefits you can get may not be under that sacred tree."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Why do I feel like you are setting a trap on me, but I can't do anything except get in there."
Qi Wenxing laughed and said: "You can teach me!"
Li Xiuping asked: "Then can I leave? Senior Brother Qi."
Qi Wenxing nodded and said: "Of course, but before participating in the grand gathering of the Seven Holy Lands, you have to solve one thing first."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "Weren't you bullied when you came here? Don't you want to regain your reputation?"
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Li Xiuping: "This is the power behind those people. All situations are recorded in detail. In addition to the disciples of the Golden Core stage, the academy will also send two Nascent Soul stage strongmen to listen." You decide."
When Li Xiuping heard about the two Nascent Soul powerhouses, he was startled for a moment, and then he directly checked the jade slips. Sure enough, some sects actually had Nascent Soul powerhouses in charge.
Li Xiuping looked at Qi Wenxing and frowned: "Just two?"
Qi Wenxing said bitterly: "Now that the academy is withering, there are really not many strong people in the Nascent Soul stage, and the number of disciples will be even less if the number of disciples doubles. In this case, I have made the decision. I will give you three, and no more."
Li Xiuping continued to look at the jade slip. The three Yuan Ying stage strong men were indeed not too few. The key point was that he could barely compete with the Nascent Soul stage strong men. He did not dare to directly destroy those sects, but he wanted to find them. The place is not difficult.
However, Li Xiuping did not agree immediately. After all, if he could bring one more strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, many changes would be reduced.
Qi Wenxing looked at Li Xiuping's hesitation and said, "There really can't be any more. Three Nascent Soul stage masters and a hundred Jindan stage disciples are equivalent to moving away half of the academy, not to mention giving it to you." Two spiritual boats.”
It is obviously impossible to get one more Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, but Li Xiuping did not expect that the academy would come up with two spirit boats and a hundred Golden Core stage monks. In this way, he was even sure that he could conquer those sects. The doors were destroyed one by one.
Of course, the premise is that those sects will not choose to join forces.
Li Xiuping said: "Besides, the four previous immortal treasures must be returned to me."
Qi Wenxing smiled and said: "Sir has already sent it to you."
Li Xiuping was stunned and looked back, just in time to see the old shopkeeper of Shuiyunjian, who is now the mountain master of Guanchao Academy, walking slowly up to the fifth floor with a smile on his face.
Seeing this old guy's smile, Li Xiuping always felt like he was being tricked, but he didn't really care.
It would be strange to be able to compete with these old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years, not to mention that the current situation does not harm him at all, on the contrary, there are many benefits.
After the old man came up, he directly returned the four fairy treasures to Li Xiuping, and then said: "Go find Huang Yatou to get an outfit. From now on, you will also be the junior uncle of the academy. It's a bit outrageous to dress like this."
After getting the four fairy treasures, Li Xiuping seemed to be worried that the old man would regret it, so he quickly left the tide watching building.
After Li Xiuping left, the old man walked to Qi Wenxing, looked at the sea in the distance, and asked leisurely: "You walked up step by step?"
Qi Wenxing nodded and said: "The last two steps have not been crossed."
The old man nodded, did not speak, but fell into deep thought.
After a long while, the old man said: "There are two things I can't let go of. One is my life experience, and what is the other?"
Naturally, this was not a question to Qi Wenxing, so Qi Wenxing did not answer, but just looked into the distance, thinking about something.
After a long time, Qi Wenxing asked: "Sir, do you really want him to represent Confucianism in the Holy Land election?"
The old man said: "Although Huang Yatou and others are very talented, it is still too difficult to stand out in the election of the Holy Land. It has been three hundred years. I, the Confucian, can't keep my head down like this."
Qi Wenxing said with some worry: "But the Taoist side..."
The old man said: "I'm afraid they won't take action."
Qi Wenxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
After Li Xiuping went downstairs, he saw a female disciple named Huang standing outside the tide watching building. When she saw Li Xiuping coming out, the woman stepped forward and saluted: "Disciple Huang Qing, pay your respects to my junior uncle."
Li Xiuping was stunned, and now he was basically sure that the master and apprentice had planned everything now.
Li Xiuping was really not used to being called Junior Uncle all of a sudden, but he couldn't ask her to change his title, so he said, "Has the old guy told you everything?"
Huang Qing was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Li Xiuping continued: "You want me to call him uncle, dreaming."
He said these words loudly on purpose, as if he was telling them to the master and apprentice upstairs to express his dissatisfaction.
Huang Qing didn't dare to stay here, and said with a wry smile: "Little Master Shuqing, come with me."
Li Xiuping followed Huang Qing and left the Chaoguan Tower.
Huang Qing took Li Xiuping to a yard, and then said a few words to the white-bearded old man in the yard. Then the old man took a ruler and measured Li Xiuping, apparently to make a new one for Li Xiuping. clothing.
After taking the measurements, Huang Qing took Li Xiuping away and went to find an old man elsewhere.
The old man he found this time looked younger. At least his hair was black. He was wearing a gray-white Confucian shirt and was holding a volume of books in his hands.
Huang Qing bowed first and said, "Uncle Hu, I'll bring my little uncle here to collect the spirit boat and the peace card."
After hearing the words, the old man turned his eyes away from the book and landed on Li Xiuping. He frowned and said, "Are you Li Xiuping?"
Li Xiuping nodded and saluted at the same time, but for a moment he didn't know what to call him.
The next moment, Li Xiuping's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that the old guy would suddenly attack him, so he hurriedly distanced himself.
Fortunately, the old man did not continue to take action, but nodded and said: "The response is quite good."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the house, then took out a large bag, reached out and groped inside, and then took out two things, which were two palm-sized boats.
After taking out two things, the old man tied the bag and threw it casually into the house. Then he took out another bag. This time he did not fumble in the bag, but directly took out a jade tablet, along with The two boats were handed to Li Xiuping together and said, "Huang Yatou will tell him how to use them later."
After saying this, he turned around and walked back to the previous place and continued reading.
Huang Qing saluted the old man and led Li Xiuping out of the yard.
After leaving the yard, Huang Qing said: "The spirit boat needs to be infused with spirit stones before it can be driven. As for the nothing trouble card, in addition to indicating identity, injecting true energy at a critical moment can give you a chance to rescue."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Spiritual stone?"
Huang Qing nodded and said: "Generally similar spiritual treasures require spiritual stones as a driving force."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but ask: "How many spirit stones?"
Huang Qing thought about it: "I don't know the specifics, but last time I saw my senior brother and the others using it, each boat seemed to cost about ten yuan."
Li Xiuping glared and said, "So many."
Huang Qing frowned and said, "Is it much?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Ten yuan for one time, twenty yuan for two ships, which is not much."
Huang Qing wondered: "Didn't they say that my junior uncle made a lot of money in Penglai Immortal Boat?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "That can't be such a waste."
As he spoke, he fell into thinking, and then asked: "Are they all golden elixir stage monks this time?"
Huang Qing nodded.
Li Xiuping said: "Then why don't you just control the sword by yourself?"
Huang Qing looked at Li Xiuping with a puzzled expression.
Li Xiuping was a little embarrassed by her, and said with a smile: "Save this money, there will always be times when you need it more, why waste it like this."
Huang Qing frowned and said: "But in this case, wouldn't the academy lose face, and the prestige of the junior uncle cannot be reflected."
Li Xiuping frowned again.
This is just the beginning, and he has cheated himself with twenty spirit stones. He still doesn’t know how to cheat himself in the future.
Li Xiuping suddenly regretted agreeing to Qi Wenxing to join Guanchao Academy.
Li Xiuping sighed softly and asked, "Is there anything else to prepare?"
Huang Qing shook his head and said: "No, if nothing happens to my junior uncle, I can set off early tomorrow morning."
Li Xiuping nodded.
He was wondering if he could get the woman in green and the little red girl to follow him, so that there would be more powerful people in the transformation stage and a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, so there would be basically no surprises on this trip.
