As time continued, all the ninth layer of spiritual crystals were quickly condensed. At this time, the willow tree also began to continue to grow, directly breaking through the eighth layer of spiritual crystals, and then continued towards the newly condensed ninth layer of spiritual crystals. near.
Without any surprise, the ninth layer of spiritual crystal that had just been condensed was directly broken by the willow trees, and then turned into golden energy, which was completely absorbed by the willows.
As a result, all nine layers of spiritual crystals disappeared.
Li Xiuping didn't care much because all nine layers of spiritual crystals disappeared. Instead, he focused on the willow tree, or to be precise, on the sphere on the willow tree.
According to Li Xiuping's previous guess, what was bred in it was the so-called golden elixir. Now that the nine layers of spiritual crystals have been absorbed by the willow tree, the golden elixir in it should naturally be condensed and completed naturally, so he should take it as a matter of course. You should become a golden elixir stage monk.
But after he looked at it for a long time, there was no change in the sphere on the willow tree. It was still the same as before, with light constantly overflowing, and then being entangled and wrapped by more and more willow branches. As the sphere grew larger, the light was also suppressed. Go down.
After all the light is suppressed, there will be no new changes in either the sphere or the willow tree.
Li Xiuping frowned and could only withdraw his consciousness from the spiritual sea.
Seeing Li Xiuping open his eyes, the woman in green asked directly: "How is it?"
Li Xiuping shook his head, and then explained clearly what happened in his body without hiding anything.
After hearing this, the woman in green couldn't help but frown.
All nine layers of spiritual crystals were disappeared by the willow tree, but the so-called golden elixir did not appear in the sphere. The key is that Li Xiuping cannot get close to the sphere. Doesn't this mean that Li Xiuping cannot condense the golden elixir at all?
At this time, the woman in green naturally could not attack Li Mingyue, but comforted: "Even in normal practice, forming pills requires a process, and it is not done after the ninth layer of spiritual crystals, so wait, this period of time must not be Slouch.”
Li Xiuping nodded.
The woman in green then asked: "What is your approximate strength now?"
Li Xiuping thought for a while and replied: "If you don't use the immortal treasure, you will have no problem in winning against the monks in the late Golden Core stage. If you use the immortal treasure and go all out, you will have no problem in dealing with the strong ones in the Nascent Soul stage. "
The woman in green continued to comfort her: "That's good, at least it shows that the strength is improving."
Li Xiuping nodded. He could only comfort himself in this way now.
The woman in green clothes continued to ask: "How do you feel physically?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Basically there is no problem, and there is no bad feeling."
The woman in green clothes nodded and said: "Then continue on your way. I can feel that many powerful people are approaching here."
After saying that, he directly took out the Divine Sword without its sheath, and then took Li Xiuping into the sky. Everyone in the academy and Miss Xiaohong followed suit and continued towards the Imperial Capital.
Along the way, Li Xiuping was worried and couldn't let go of the situation in his spiritual sea, so he secretly tried several times to see if the sphere on the willow tree was actually the golden elixir.
However, several attempts were blocked by willow trees, making it impossible to get close or investigate. Li Xiuping had no choice but to give up and focus on fusing the nine-layer spiritual crystal. Now that there is no spiritual crystal, he can only obtain power from the willow tree, and then try to fuse these powers to form the last layer of spiritual crystal.
As Li Xiuping tried this, he quickly discovered to his surprise that this method was actually feasible, and there were faint signs of the tenth level of spiritual crystals appearing in the spiritual sea.
This discovery can be said to surprise and delight Li Xiuping. It means that as long as he completes this layer of spiritual crystal, he can smelt it into a fake elixir, and then solidify it into a golden elixir to enter the golden elixir stage. , became a golden elixir monk.
However, Li Xiuping soon discovered that as energy continued to be extracted from the willow tree and was about to condense into the tenth layer of spiritual crystals, the willow tree actually stopped transmitting energy.
This was the second time that the willow tree violated Li Xiuping's will after he got it.
The first time was because he wanted to get close to the sphere, but was stopped by Willow. This time, he wanted to extract the energy of Willow and directly condense the last layer of spiritual crystal, but was rejected by Willow.
As a result, Li Xiuping could not help but feel a little worried, because this was enough to show that the willow tree had a will of its own.
There is a thing with independent will in one's spiritual sea, which is difficult for anyone to accept.
When this unexpected incident occurred, Li Xiuping did not panic too much. Instead, he calmed himself down and tried to use the energy of the willow tree to attack, but found that there was no rejection, and it was still the same as before.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but think about the difference.
The energy given by the willow tree is used to convert it into sword intent, defense, or attack, because the willow tree can withstand and give such energy, so no matter how serious the loss is, it will not cause any damage to the willow tree; and the energy of the willow tree is extracted to condense the tenth The layer of spiritual crystal has exceeded the range that the willow tree can bear and give, and has hurt the foundation of the willow tree. To be more precise, it has hurt the existence of the sphere, so the willow tree will refuse.
Could it be that if he wants to condense the tenth layer of spiritual crystals, he can only obtain energy from the outside world?
This idea is obviously unrealistic, and most people would not have such an idea, but Li Xiuping's practice is different from others, so it is not surprising that he would have such an idea. If he didn't even dare to have the idea, he wouldn't be able to To get to where we are now.
With the idea in mind, Li Xiuping decided to try it.
He now needs the sword intention to be converted into energy, but the perception of the sword intention cannot be obtained at will, so he can only put his mind to the Nascent Soul in the copper bowl.
The golden elixir is different from the Nascent Soul. If he breaks open a golden elixir to absorb energy, it will obviously be difficult for him to bear it in his current situation. Moreover, the woman in green said that this method has a lot of hidden dangers for him, but if the golden elixir is not used, it will be difficult for him to bear it. Absorbing all the energy seems a bit wasteful, so the best way is to extract the energy of the Nascent Soul. As much as you want, the Nascent Soul may not be able to detect it.
He is just testing to confirm his inner thoughts. As long as the energy from the outside can replenish the bottom layer of spiritual crystal, he can continue to perceive and absorb the sword intention, complete the tenth layer of spiritual crystal, and then smelt it into gold. Dan.
Of course, the premise is that the tenth layer of spiritual crystals will not be destroyed by the willow tree.
This is what Li Xiuping is most worried about.
After extracting the energy of the Nascent Soul, Li Xiuping converted it in a special way, then threw it into the spiritual sea, integrated it into the tenth layer of spiritual crystals, and carefully observed the subtle changes in the spiritual crystals after the energy was integrated. Variety.
The next moment, Li Xiuping was overjoyed, because this method was indeed feasible, and the tenth-level spiritual crystal was obviously solidified due to the integration of those energies.
After confirming that this effect was useful, Li Xiuping focused all his attention on the willow tree, observing the changes in the willow tree to judge whether it would destroy the tenth layer of spiritual crystal.
The willow tree stood firm and motionless, without any change.
Seeing this, Li Xiuping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The hope of condensing the golden elixir is naturally something to be happy about.
Li Xiuping withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual sea, and his mood instantly improved a lot.
There were no accidents along the way. Everyone was either wielding swords or walking. They stopped and walked, and finally saw the Imperial Capital.
This should be the most prosperous capital city Li Xiuping has ever seen so far.
Li Xiuping originally thought that the Guanchao Tower of Guanchao Academy was the tallest building in the world, but here, there are many buildings like the Chaoguan Tower, and some are even taller than the Chaoguan Tower. There are various straight roads of different widths crisscrossing the building. The splendid buildings of various colors are staggered and lined up in rows.
Although everyone is above the sea of clouds, they can feel the lively atmosphere of the entire Imperial City.
As Li Xiuping and others approached, powerful auras began to appear in the city, approaching directly towards the crowd.
The woman in green said at this time: "They should be the strong ones guarding the Imperial City. If you come forward to deal with them later, they will give Guanchao Academy face."
Li Xiuping nodded and directly held out the flying sword, Yu Jian walking in front.
After a while, several figures appeared one after another, standing in front of everyone, each one as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The person who made them feel in danger was naturally not Li Xiuping and the disciples in the academy, but the woman in green who had reached the stage of becoming a god. Therefore, after these people appeared, they all stared at the woman in green.
Li Xiuping and others also stopped advancing.
Li Xiuping was the first to walk out. After bowing, he said: "Junior Li Xiuping, I have met all the seniors. This time I am representing the Guanchao Academy to participate in the Seven Holy Lands Conference. I am passing through the Imperial Capital and I have disturbed all the seniors. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, the strong men all frowned and finally focused on Li Xiuping.
Regarding the rumors about Li Xiuping, I am afraid that there are not many people in the cultivation world who don’t know about them now. Just because this young man is a disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, just because this young man has involved an immortal who does not know whether the rumors are true or not. Just because this young man is involved in the rumors. The immortal treasures possessed by the young man far exceed those of any first-class sect.
No one would ignore such a person.
A strong man quickly put on a smile and said in return: "It turns out to be Mr. Li. I have heard about Mr. Li's young hero for a long time. Now that I have seen him, he is really handsome and extraordinary. He is a dragon and a phoenix among men."
Although this was not the first time for Li Xiuping to be praised like this, he still felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this by so many powerful people in the embryonic stage. He quickly said: "Senior is too polite, but I really don't dare to take it seriously."
At this time, those Nascent Soul stage powerhouses began to be in trouble.
Now Li Xiuping represents Confucianism, and the overt and covert struggle between Confucianism and Taoism is not a secret in the spiritual world, so the Taoists will definitely do everything possible to prevent Li Xiuping from participating in this grand gathering held in the Seven Holy Lands. If this group of people and the Taoists Those people started fighting in the Imperial City, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Although these old guys also have some abilities, once the big Taoists take action, with their little cultivation, they are just like children playing house. Totally not enough.
The key is that there are many Taoist disciples in Dijing City now. If this group of people is allowed to continue like this, they will definitely collide with each other. If there is no fight, it will be okay. If there is a fight, should they take action? Which party should we help after taking action?
It is definitely impossible to persuade them to make peace, and neither side will give them face.
But if you don't let these people go down, it will be tantamount to deliberately making things difficult, and it will be tantamount to making things difficult for Guanchao Academy.
If you have trouble with Guanchao Academy, you have trouble with Confucianism as a whole. When the time comes, the entire court will probably turn into a mess, and His Majesty the Emperor will suffer.
Even though the officials in the court seemed powerless, they were really proficient in talking and showing off their words. Even if they insisted on turning white into black, they were still able to convince the emperor.
If His Majesty the Emperor is unhappy, then those of them who protect the safety of the Imperial Capital will probably not feel good either.
A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse asked directly: "How long do you plan to stay in Emperor Jing City?"
Li Xiuping thought for a while and replied: "It won't take long, only two days at most. It would be best if we can catch the Immortal Crossing to Daxia."
Those Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses looked at each other, and one of them said: "Just in time, there will be an Immortal Crossing to the Xia Kingdom tonight. If you need it, we can also get the certificate for the Immortal Crossing."
Li Xiuping was stunned. This was somewhat beyond his expectation, and he couldn't help but look at these people.
Li Xiuping quickly understood something. The sentimental guys wanted to waste money and eliminate disasters, so that he could leave the Imperial City as soon as possible without causing any trouble to them.
Li Xiuping naturally wouldn't refuse someone spending money. However, in addition to his main purpose of coming to Dijing City this time to ride the Immortal Ferry, he also wanted to buy some sword-making requirements here and then forge them to the limit.
After all, this immortal journey will take a long time, and he can't just sit around doing nothing every day. And now that he is continuing his sword intention to complete the tenth layer of spiritual crystals, he can only obtain them by forging swords.
Although the harvest in Baiyang City was not small before, it was obviously far from enough. In such a good place as Emperor View City, the materials that can be purchased must not be small. If everyone comes here but doesn’t buy anything, Li Xiuping I definitely don’t agree in my heart.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "There's no rush for this. I still want to buy some things in the city, so..."
He didn't go on to say anything further, but his meaning was already clear that he would stay in Imperial City for a few days.
A strong man at the Nascent Soul stage asked directly: "I don't know what Mr. Li needs, but we can do it for him. As long as we can bear it, we will definitely satisfy Mr. Li."
Li Xiuping was really surprised now. Could he really be that scary? Aren't we just staying in Emperor Jingcheng for a few days? All of these are still Nascent Soul stage powerhouses. How could they be so scared?
However, this is indeed an opportunity for Li Xiuping. It is much better to let these Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses help him buy what he needs than to search around in an unfamiliar place.
Li Xiuping said: "That's very good. If you seniors can help me, I will give you all the spiritual stones you need."
Now Li Xiuping also wants to leave quickly. After all, there are Taoists and countless powerful people secretly watching. Arriving to Piaoxue Country as soon as possible will also help him to be at ease earlier. Now that he can save money and effort, Li Xiuping naturally has no reason to refuse.
Hearing that Li Xiuping agreed and would pay for it, all the Nascent Soul stage experts breathed a sigh of relief.
Now they just hope to send this guy away as soon as possible, so as not to harm the Imperial City and them.
After some eye contact between several Nascent Soul powerhouses, they took Li Xiuping directly to the Imperial City. They did everything personally, hoping that these people would not cause any trouble and not come into contact with the Taoist disciples. superior.
After that, Li Xiuping told him everything he needed. Even those who were strong in the Nascent Soul stage were dumbfounded after hearing this.
Although they knew that Li Xiuping was a swordsmith and purchased these materials for the purpose of making swords, the number of swords that could be made with so many materials was not a small number at all.
Let's not talk about how many spiritual weapons this Li Xiuping can create. Just these materials will cost a huge amount of spiritual stones. Even if all their wealth is emptied, it may not be enough. By then, this guy will really be that powerful. Rich?
If this guy can't afford that much money, and they have obtained all the materials, should they give it to Li Xiuping or not?
If you give it, you won’t even have your belt left. If you don’t give it, if this guy is unhappy, then all their efforts will be in vain.
Li Xiuping didn't seem to want to make things difficult for these people, and said directly: "If you seniors can't afford so much money, you can directly bring the people who have these materials, and I will deal with them face to face, but if you want to get them all before tonight I’m afraid it may be a little difficult to complete.”
Obviously, these people can't trust Li Xiuping, and Li Xiuping can't trust them. Otherwise, the matter can be solved by simply handing over the spirit stones to these people. Moreover, Li Xiuping is determined to trick these people, at least from Xiandu. The certificates have to be produced by these people no matter what.
Li Xiuping didn't feel distressed no matter how much he spent to buy the swords, but when he thought of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones traveling on the Immortal Ferry, Li Xiuping felt uncomfortable.
Now that someone has stepped forward to shoulder this part of the expenses, Li Xiuping couldn't ask for more.
Afterwards, several Nascent Soul stage powerhouses discussed it and decided that it would be the best way to first take out the spiritual stones they could afford to buy what Li Xiuping needed, and then obtain the spiritual stones from Li Xiuping.
At that time, if Li Xiuping wants to get the remaining things, he will have to pay, and they can reduce the losses as much as possible. As for whether they can complete it before tonight, and then send this group of people to Xiandu, they can only It all depends on God's will.
Li Xiuping didn't expect that this group of people would go all out to get him to leave the Imperial City as soon as possible. It didn't take long for them to get a lot of materials that Li Xiuping needed, and Li Xiuping also bought these as agreed. The spiritual stones required for the materials are almost always just a few more.
Accept everything when you see it is good. Even if you want to take advantage, you can't take it too far.
These people are still in the Nascent Soul stage after all, but now they are running errands for themselves. It is natural to give them some benefits. Moreover, these people have received benefits. When the time comes, I will take advantage of their Immortal Crossing, and I will feel at ease.
