As Xiandu slowly returned to the Imperial City, countless strong men from the Xiaoyao Sect appeared out of thin air, each with a gloomy look on their face.
On top of the Xiandu, people stepped off the Xiandu one after another, each with a gray face, and headed to the resting place under the leadership of the Xiandu side.
Li Xiuping led everyone in the academy to a quiet villa under the leadership of a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.
The old man led the way and asked: "Master Li, your two demon friends..."
Li Xiuping was stunned, looked at the old man, then shook his head and said: "They should be fine."
That being said, Li Xiuping was actually a little worried. Although Miss Xiaohong has now entered the Divine Transformation Stage, she has just entered it after all. Although his senior sister has the help of the Divine Sword without Sheath, if they catch up like this, they will not only have to face two strong ones in the Divine Transformation Stage. Or, can they really handle it with just the two of them?
But it's useless to worry now. Not to mention that he can't help, he doesn't even know where the other person is now.
If you want to find the other party, you can only rely on the power of Xiaoyao Sect now, and with the participation of Xiaoyao Sect, the success rate of this matter will be much higher. After all, no matter how you say it, Xiaoyao Sect is also a first-class sect on the surface, one of the nine sects, and it also has a strong man in the God Transformation stage.
After all, Xiaoyao Sect is some distance away from here. Now, only the strong Xiaoyao Sect on the Xiandu side have received the news. It will probably take some time until the senior officials of Xiaoyao Sect know about it and arrive.
After arriving at the residence arranged by Xiaoyao Sect, Li Xiuping never left and rarely had contact with outsiders. He spent most of his time alone in the house, studying how to activate the sixth fairy treasure.
Li Xiuping was not in a hurry about this matter at first, thinking that he would first condense the tenth layer of spiritual crystals before considering it. But now that something like this happened, he would have to face not only those at the Nascent Soul stage, but also those at the Divine Transformation stage, so he needed more power.
Nowadays, the only way to quickly increase strength is to master the sixth fairy treasure as soon as possible. After all, it is impossible for the tenth level of spiritual crystal to be condensed in a short time.
As he tried again and again, Li Xiuping discovered that there was something more in his spiritual sea, and it was incomparably consistent with the fairy treasure.
As a result, Li Xiuping couldn't help but focus on those things.
In the spiritual sea, there were originally only spiritual crystals after the fusion of sword intent. Later, because of the pitch black dragon, there was an additional black energy, and then because of the willow tree, there was an additional light green energy.
The three energies do not interfere with each other and form their own faction, but at this moment there is a fourth energy, a purple energy that is violent and domineering. Because of the existence of this energy, the three energies that originally did not interfere with each other showed signs of fusion at this moment, and the color after the fusion directly turned into a silver-purple gray.
The power contained in this fused energy far exceeds Li Xiuping's imagination.
After discovering this situation, Li Xiuping didn't think much about it, because this so-called fusion seemed so natural, as if it should be like this.
As the energy merged, Li Xiuping discovered that the willow tree actually absorbed the energy directly and sent it to the sphere on the willow tree.
As for what changes took place in the sphere after the energy was integrated, Li Xiuping didn't know because he could no longer get close to the willow tree to check.
Li Xiuping just allowed this change to happen in his body, because this change was beyond his control. Fortunately, this change didn't seem to be a bad thing now.
Li Xiuping withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual sea, feeling a little bitter.
I remember that in order to enter the foundation building stage, everything I thought and did was cautious, for fear of making a mistake. Now it is time to advance again, but so many changes have taken place in my body that everything has already Situations beyond his control.
In the past, entering the foundation building stage, Li Xiuping believed that it all depended on himself, whether he worked hard enough and was tenacious enough. But now that he has entered the golden elixir stage, it is no longer within his control. Whether he can succeed may depend on it. It's related to his own efforts, and maybe it's related to whether he can withstand various changes, but there is an additional variable that is completely out of his control, and it plays a decisive role.
Once this incident takes a turn for the worse, all his efforts and efforts will be in vain.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look out the window. There were all kinds of noises, but Li Xiuping's heart was extremely calm at the moment, and there was only the vast sky in his eyes.
Can man conquer heaven?
Li Xiuping thought this way before, especially after his master died and he knew that he had no spiritual roots. He felt that he could conquer heaven and earth, and even if he had no spiritual roots, he could still embark on the path of cultivation.
He did do it later, and got to where he is today, but after coming out of the Penglai Immortal Boat, he saw and heard more in the Penglai Immortal Boat, and after getting the willow tree, Li Xiuping began to have doubts about this idea. shaken.
He had seen the scene when Xiao Hong was going through the tribulation, but now because of these changes in his body, Li Xiuping felt more and more terrible about the so-called way of heaven, and he felt even more small and humble...
Li Xiuping withdrew his gaze, released the sword intent in his body, and continued to drive the Taoist fairy treasure.
After having this feeling before, Li Xiuping found that his state of mind was somewhat in line with the Taoist technique, and it became much easier to activate the Taoist artifact again.
As a result, Li Xiuping was very happy.
Originally, Li Xiuping was not sure that he could master the fairy treasure as soon as possible. It was just a choice without any other choice. Now that he has made progress beyond his expectations, Li Xiuping feels even more mysterious about the matter of cultivation.
After driving like this for a while, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside: "Sir, someone wants to see you outside."
Li Xiuping was stunned, put away the immortal treasure, stood up and opened the door, and saw a maid in yellow standing in the yard, it was the maid named Yu from Xiandu before.
Something like this suddenly happened in Xiandu before, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves. Li Xiuping naturally didn't have time to take care of the maid, and he didn't know whether the maid was alive or dead. Now that he saw her safe and sound, he actually felt a little bit lucky.
Before Li Xiuping could speak, everyone in the academy came out and asked, "Uncle Junior..."
Li Xiuping looked back at them and said, "It's okay. You stay here to recuperate. I'll go take a look."
After speaking, he looked at the maid named Yu and asked, "Does Miss Yu know the identity of the other party?"
The maid named Yu shook her head and said, "It's a woman. She said she had something to give you."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but become more confused. This was his first time in the Imperial Capital City and he had no acquaintances at all. Moreover, not many people knew his identity this time. Being able to find him so quickly meant that this person's identity was absolutely unknown. Unusual.
Li Xiuping nodded, then followed the maid named Yu out of the residence, while asking: "Is there any news from Xiaoyao Sect now?"
The maid named Yu shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know."
Li Xiuping nodded and stopped asking about the matter. He saw that the clothes on the maid named Yu were slightly different from before, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Miss Yu."
The maid named Yu was stunned for a moment, then understood what Li Xiuping was referring to, and said with a smile: "This is all because of Master Li's delay. Otherwise, with the qualifications of a servant, it would be impossible for me to be promoted in this life."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "This is a reward for Miss Yu's kindness. It has nothing to do with me, because even if Miss Yu hadn't met me, she would still have met someone else, and she would have gained what she has now. It's just a matter of time." That’s all.”
The maid named Yu was stunned and said nothing.
Li Xiuping then asked: "Miss Yu, are you still worried about what happened to your fellow countryman?"
The maid named Yu nodded, then shook her head, her expression became a little sad, and said: "She is dead."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded without thinking much.
In the previous battle on the Immortal Ferry, many people were affected and many people died. With the cultivation strength of these maids, it is normal for them to be affected. The maid named Bai is just one of them.
The reason why the maid named Yu was able to survive may be due to pure luck, or it may be the protection of heaven from her kind heart. Li Xiuping couldn't explain clearly, but he felt that it was natural for her to survive.
The two of them did not continue talking because they each had their own thoughts on the rest of the way, and soon arrived in front of a palace.
Li Xiuping walked directly into the hall and saw a woman wearing a bright red dress sitting on the chair on the left, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Sister Gao?" Li Xiuping was a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that he would meet Gao Yunmian here.
Gao Yunmian also raised his head at this time and said with a smile: "Hey, I thought you had forgotten your sister a long time ago."
In the hall, there were many strong men from the Xiaoyao Sect, but when they heard the conversation between the two of them, they all couldn't help but frown.
They naturally know who Li Xiuping is. Nowadays, in the entire spiritual world, there are very few people who don’t know Li Xiuping, because he is not only the only disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, the great master of sword-making, but also the existence of immortals. Now he is still watching the tide. The junior uncle of the academy.
They also know who Gao Yunmian is, because no matter who is on the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain, everyone knows about Ye Xingsi, but no one knows how powerful Ye Xingsi is and how many powerful people he has gathered.
The Gao Yunmian in front of her was Young Siming of the Night Travel Division, the only daughter of the Great Siming who was even more mysterious than the emperor.
Everyone thought that the strength and powerful people involved by Li Xiuping were complicated enough, but they did not expect that there were far more people involved with him than they imagined.
This Li Xiuping actually matched the younger brother Siming of the Night Travel Division. Even if they were not biological siblings, the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
Seeing Gao Yunmian, Li Xiuping was naturally happy and said with a smile: "No matter what Sister Gao said, even if I forget someone, I dare not forget Sister Gao."
Gao Yunmian curled his lips and said: "We haven't seen him for a few years, and he seems glib now, but he has also grown up a lot, and he is now a young adult who can take charge of his own business."
Li Xiuping could only show a somewhat embarrassed smile.
At this time, the strong men of Xiaoyao Sect stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for the Jiuxian to retire. If you two have any needs, you can give them direct orders."
Gao Yunmian responded: "Thank you, seniors."
Li Xiuping also returned the gift, his eyes couldn't help but look at these people and then at Gao Yunmian.
He had long felt that Gao Yunmian's status in the Yexing Division was extraordinary, and now looking at the attitudes of these Xiaoyao Sect strongmen further confirmed his suspicion.
Li Xiuping was a little curious. Even if Gao Yunmian had a distinguished status in the Yehang Division, he should not allow these old gods of the Xiaoyao Sect to be so polite. In the final analysis, the Yehang Division is just a force in the world, while the Xiaoyao Sect is the Nine Sects. One is the strongest sect in the entire spiritual world. There is no way you should attach so much importance to a person who has a distinguished status among secular forces.
You know, in the eyes of these immortal cultivators, they don’t even care about emperors in the world. However, no matter how noble your status is in the secular world, can it be more noble than an emperor?
After everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect left, Gao Yunmian, who had already stood up, came to Li Xiuping's side, pulled Li Xiuping to sit down, looked at Li Xiuping up and down, and then said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, not only has I achieved some success in cultivation, but also Now he has become the Junior Master of Guanchao Academy, and his future is limitless."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Without Sister Gao, I wouldn't be able to achieve what I am today."
Gao Yunmian shook his head and said: "Everything you have is the result of your own efforts. I didn't do anything."
Li Xiuping didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked curiously: "Why is Sister Gao here in the Imperial City?"
Gao Yunmian said casually: "This is my home. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"
Li Xiuping was stunned.
Indeed, the reason why Gao Yunmian appeared in Qingyang County was because there was a demon trouble in Qingyang County, so Gao Yunmian showed up with the Night Travel Division. Now that the demon trouble has been resolved, Gao Yunmian should naturally return to her original place. Li Xiuping never expected that Gao Yunmian's home would be in the imperial capital.
Gao Yunmian smiled and said: "Don't guess, I am the young sweeper of the Night Travel Division, Siming. Apart from my father, I am the oldest in the entire Night Travel Division."
Li Xiuping was stunned again and looked at Gao Yunmian in disbelief.
As he left Qingyang County, he saw the outside world and various complex forces, so he felt more and more that the forces of Ye Xingsi were much more complicated than he imagined, because there were many things that even the big merchants could not obtain. , but Ye Xingsi can.
Coupled with the attitude of those in the Xiaoyao Sect towards Gao Yunmian just now, it was enough to prove that Ye Xingsi was far more powerful than he had previously guessed.
So as the young Siming of the Night Movement Division and responsible for the future of the entire Night Movement Division, Gao Yunmian had no reason to go to a small place like Qingyang County to take the lead.
Even if there are some other reasons, even if this sister Gao wants to use the monster thing to win people's hearts, there is no need to risk her own life, she can choose other ways.
Looking at Li Xiuping's expression, Gao Yunmian frowned and said: "As for this? It stands to reason that even if you don't completely guess it, you can still make a rough guess. Could it be that as your cultivation level becomes higher, people become different?" Silly?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "So I don't quite understand why Sister Gao went to Qingyang County to fight against the monster in person. Isn't this a bit too coincidental?"
Gao Yunmian frowned slightly, then said with a smile: "I thought you thought less, but I didn't expect you thought too much..."
At this point, she was obviously hesitant, as if she didn't know how to speak.
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Is it possible that you, the Night Travel Division, also owe my master a favor?"
Gao Yunmian was stunned for a moment, then nodded bitterly and said, "It seems that the favor is quite large."
Seeing Gao Yunmian nodding, Li Xiuping suddenly understood. He felt much more enlightened and felt inexplicably bitter inside.
As a result, it seemed that almost everything related to him had been arranged long ago. Li Xiuping couldn't say that this feeling was bad, but he couldn't say that it was good either. He just felt a little depressed.
Seeing that Li Xiuping had no intention of continuing to ask, Gao Yunmian couldn't help but frown and said, "Aren't you curious about what kind of favor it is?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "It's already like this. There's no point in trying to figure it out. On the contrary, it will change some things, such as the relationship between me and Sister Gao."
Gao Yunmian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and asked: "Do you want to take away your master's couplet now?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "Let's leave it here with Sister Gao. This way I still have something to think about and I don't want to die outside."
Gao Yunmian frowned and said, "Bah, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiuping grinned.
Gao Yunmian asked: "You haven't seen the scenery of the Imperial City yet, have you?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Not in time."
Gao Yunmian stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around."
Li Xiuping did not refuse. He was not interested in the so-called scenery, and what he wanted to do more now was to improve his strength, whether it was forging swords to increase sword power and replenishing the tenth level of spiritual crystals, or mastering the sixth piece of immortality. No matter the treasure, it is much more important than the scenery.
But now he has finally met Gao Yunmian, and he will leave soon to go to a farther place. When will he be able to meet again in the future, or if he will be able to see her again in this life, Li Xiuping doesn't know at all. Walk with her more. , it’s also good to talk about it.
In the past, Li Xiuping might not have had this idea, feeling that he could change everything and prevent all changes and accidents, but now he doesn't think so. He feels that the future is full of uncontrollable variables, so he should cherish things now. And people should be cherished even more.
After that, Gao Yunmian took Li Xiuping and walked half of the imperial capital. Gao Yunmian was almost always introducing and explaining to Li Xiuping along the way, and Li Xiuping could only reply from time to time.
Along the way, Li Xiuping not only learned a lot about the Imperial City, but also about Gao Yunmian, because Gao Yunmian not only told things about the Imperial City, but also told some of her past events.
As night fell, the two of them were about to return, but they stopped at the same time because on the street ahead, several monks wearing robes appeared, staring at Li Xiuping and the two.
Seeing these powerful Taoists, the two of them frowned almost at the same time.
