When Li Xiuping and others returned to the Imperial City, the spirit boats did not return. This made the powerful Xiaoyao Sect waiting in the Imperial City full of confusion because Li Xiuping and others returned too quickly.
According to normal circumstances, returning after the battle would have to wait until early tomorrow morning at the earliest, but there is still some time before dawn, unless Li Xiuping and others are not fighting with the sect they are going to.
However, the spirit boat that Li Xiuping and others were riding on was filled with all kinds of treasures, which showed the results of the war at a glance.
From the results of the three spirit boats, it can be confirmed that Li Xiuping and others indeed went to their destination and won a complete victory. So what everyone is wondering is, how did Li Xiuping and others do it? How could a second-rate sect with thousands of years of heritage be wiped out in such a short period of time?
Many Xiaoyao Sect strong men began to whisper and inquire about each other.
The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who had experienced the previous battle were already impatient and began to tell their fellow disciples what happened during the battle. They all regretted that they had too few words in their minds to describe the situation vividly.
After listening to the whole process, the strong men of Xiaoyao Sect were all shocked. Obviously, they did not expect that the battle between sects could be fought like this.
After that, everyone moved the things off the spirit boat one after another, then put the spirit boat away and arranged a place for Li Xiuping and others to rest.
As time went on and the sky became brighter, as the woman in green returned, the rest of the spirit boats also returned one after another. Then a middle-aged man quickly ran to where Li Xiuping lived and shouted excitedly: "Li Xiuping" Is the young master here?"
Li Xiuping opened the door and looked at the visitor with confusion.
This man looked young. He was wearing the clothes of the Xiaoyao Sect, and he seemed to have a high status in the Xiaoyao Sect.
Before Li Xiuping could speak, this man ran directly towards Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to meet Mr. Li, and now I finally got my wish."
Li Xiuping looked confused and could only salute, but didn't know how to address him.
This man seemed to know the doubts in Li Xiuping's heart, and said with a smile: "Seeing that I was so excited because of my patronage, I didn't even introduce myself. I, Shu Qingyun, am the current head of Xiaoyao Sect."
Li Xiuping was stunned and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Master Shu."
Shu Qingyun smiled and said: "Young Master Li, you don't have to be polite. I came here just to express my gratitude to Young Master Li. I didn't expect that Young Master Li would have such insights into the battle between sects. He is truly a great talent."
Li Xiuping frowned slightly, and he quickly understood what this guy was referring to, because his expression at this moment was similar to that of the strong men of Xiaoyao Sect before.
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Your Xiaoyao Sect is really rich."
Shu Qingyun smiled and said: "Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. It has always been the purpose of my Xiaoyao Sect. You must know that every year, many disciples are lost in the sect war, and none of those disciples has spent countless money. It is only cultivated with financial and material resources. If we can reduce the loss of disciples and replace them with spiritual stones, we will definitely make a profit without losing money."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment and seemed to think it made sense.
He seemed to realize at this moment that it was rude to let the leader of Xiaoyao Sect outside, so he turned sideways and said, "Please, Master Shu."
Shu Qingyun walked into Li Xiuping's room with a smile. The two sat opposite each other and started talking.
Li Xiuping actually had nothing to say, but this head Shu seemed to have endless things to say, and he was not embarrassed at all. It felt like he had just met Li Xiuping late.
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Xiuping asked: "The details of the two powerful people in the transformation stage have not yet been found out?"
Shu Qingyun shook his head and said: "The two young masters should know better about this matter."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then asked: "When can Xiandu set off? I do have more important things to deal with this time, so I don't dare to delay."
Shu Qingyun smiled and said: "You know, the Seven Holy Lands Conference, Mr. Li can rest assured, Xiaoyao Sect guarantees that Mr. Li will be delivered on time."
Li Xiuping raised his eyes and looked at the leader of the first-class sect, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Leader Shu."
Shu Qingyun waved his hand and said: "It should be done. Mr. Li can just come to Xiaoyao Sect to sit down often when he has time in the future."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look at Master Shu again.
Sure enough, business people are different from the heads of other sects.
Li Xiuping had been in contact with many sects before, but the reason why those sects helped Li Xiuping was because they needed his help in forging swords. Their purpose was very obvious, but this leader Shu was completely different.
He did not make any demands on Li Xiuping, nor did he ask Li Xiuping to make any promises. He just asked Li Xiuping to visit Xiaoyao Sect often in the future.
Nothing is asked for, which is the biggest request, because Li Xiuping owes Xiaoyao Sect a favor this time, and he will inevitably have a lot of interactions with Xiaoyao Sect in the future. After going back and forth, and getting familiar with each other, Li Xiuping will know some things even if he doesn't say anything. Doing it for Xiaoyao Sect is more than just forging swords.
The key is that even if Li Xiuping could see what Master Shu was thinking, he would not refuse at all.
It's very simple. Li Xiuping also needs helpers now, especially helpers who are rich and powerful like Xiaoyao Sect.
There is no harm to Li Xiuping in getting closer to the Xiaoyao Sect. Even now, Li Xiuping does not need to pay anything, but he can directly enjoy the benefits provided by the Xiaoyao Sect.
Contact and proximity between the two parties will not harm anyone, but will be a good thing for mutual benefit.
Xiaoyao Sect can give Li Xiuping what Xiaoyao Sect can give, and will not ask Li Xiuping to do things that Li Xiuping doesn't like or is beyond his ability. This way of getting along makes both parties relaxed.
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "As long as Xiaoyao Sect doesn't dislike you, I will naturally come here often."
Shu Qingyun laughed, stood up and said: "You are welcome at any time, you are welcome at any time."
As he stood up, someone outside said: "Master, Xiandu is ready."
Shu Qingyun replied: "I know."
After speaking, he said to Li Xiuping: "I have already asked someone to prepare breakfast, and I hope Mr. Li will not postpone it."
Li Xiuping naturally did not refuse.
Afterwards, Li Xiuping and others had breakfast at the ferry, and then Master Shu personally sent him to the ferry. He also specially arranged a few more maids for Li Xiuping, including the previous maid named Yu. Obviously it was specially arranged by Xiaoyao Sect.
Naturally, it was impossible for Li Xiuping and his group to be the only ones on the Immortal Crossing this time. Most of them were the same people who were on the Immortal Crossing last time. Obviously, they all had important matters and needed to go to the Xia Dynasty as soon as possible.
As everyone got on the Immortal Ferry one after another, the Immortal Ferry took off directly into the sky and headed towards the north.
After Xiandu entered the sea of clouds, on a hill outside the Imperial City, a woman in a bright red dress waved her hands gently, with a calm face.
A woman walked up behind her and looked at Xiandu who was gradually going away. She frowned and said, "Young Siming, why don't you say goodbye to him?"
Gao Yunmian put down his hand and did not answer, but continued to look at Xiandu until Xiandu completely disappeared.
She looked away and said with a smile: "It's not like he's gone, so why make it so sentimental."
The maid nodded in understanding, but she still didn't quite understand.
Gao Yunmian walked directly down the hill and asked: "How is the demon in the west doing now?"
The maid followed Gao Yunmian and said: "The news just came that the demon clan has all retreated. Strangely enough, this time the demon clan made a lot of noise, but the casualties were not many."
Gao Yunmian curled his lips and said: "The demon tribe doesn't want to completely fall out with humans yet. This time it's just a warning to the human monks. Of course, it also expresses the demon tribe's position."
The maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "What Young Siming said, it seems that the ones who suffered more serious losses from this evil attack are really those practicing sects."
Gao Yunmian sighed: "The human race and the demon race have been fighting for so many years, and we don't know when it will come to an end. If we really get to that end, there will be no need for our Night Travel Division to exist."
The maid replied: "Isn't that great? The world is at peace."
Gao Yunmian smiled softly and said quietly: "How can there be true peace in the world? As long as there are people, there will inevitably be fights. Now I can just push all the responsibilities onto the demon clan."
The maid nodded blankly again, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, I just received a letter from the master. It seems that there is something wrong in the east, and it is related to Penglaizhou."
Gao Yunmian frowned slightly, so much that he stopped in his steps, but did not speak.
After a while, she asked: "Where is the letter?"
The maid replied: "It's at the great elder's place. It seems that he has been sent to the palace."
Gao Yunmian squinted his eyes and said, "This is a wave that is not over yet, but one wave after another."
She then said: "Enter the palace."
…
On top of Xiandu, the woman in green stood on the viewing platform on the left side of Xiandu, looking straight ahead, letting the wind blow her hair and clothes.
Li Xiuping walked up, stood next to her, looked ahead, and asked: "Senior sister, were the two powerful men in the transformation stage really sent by the Taoist family?"
The woman in green retracted her eyes, shook her head and said, "They were sent by the Taoists, but they are obviously not from the Taoists. There may be a lot of danger in the north this time. At least something like this won't happen just once."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
The woman in green continued: "When you have time, you can try to see if you can contact the restrictions on the Mysterious Fire Order."
Li Xiuping was stunned again.
The woman in green continued: "I originally thought that after the red girl entered the divine transformation stage, you would be able to reach the golden elixir stage, but I didn't expect that the current situation would occur. If you can lift the restrictions on the Xuanhuo Order as soon as possible, you can coax the girl's strength. It will also be greatly improved, and even if something unexpected happens, it can be solved."
She looked at Li Xiuping and said, "When we get to the north, the situation will be more complicated, and there will be many uncontrollable situations. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to see if I can lift it when I have time."
The woman in green nodded, stopped talking, and walked down the observation deck.
Li Xiuping stood alone on the observation deck for a while, then turned and walked back to his residence.
Now there is no rush to forge the sword, because after the fourth layer of spiritual crystals was absorbed by the willow tree, Li Xiuping discovered that in order to condense the eleventh layer of spiritual crystals, the sword intent required is far more terrifying than the tenth layer of spiritual crystals. , the little bit of sword power obtained by just forging swords can't make any waves at all.
Now that the sixth immortal treasure has been fully mastered, Li Xiuping has nothing special to do. He can just study the restrictions on the Mysterious Fire Order.
In the past, Li Xiuping didn't dare to try it because he was worried. Now that he can completely trust his senior sister, undoing the restrictions on the Xuanhuo Order has become an urgent matter.
According to his senior sister, if the restriction of the Xuanhuo Order can be lifted, it will greatly improve Miss Xiaohong's strength, and if Miss Xiaohong's strength can be improved, it will be the greatest guarantee for him.
Although he had known that the Taoists would take action against him, Li Xiuping still had some illusions because of the appearance of the Master Jiu Xian. However, after the previous battles, powerful people in the transformation stage and even the distraction stage appeared one after another. , Li Xiuping no longer dares to take any chances.
In the final analysis, his current strength is still too low, but improving his strength cannot be accomplished in a day or two, so until he is not strong enough, he can only rely on the strength of others. The woman in green and the little red girl are him The only thing you can rely on now.
Since the Xuanhuo Order can help Miss Xiaohong, he should naturally devote himself to solving this matter.
Not only for the little red girl and the demon clan, but also for myself.
The maid named Yu was standing guard in front of Li Xiuping's door. When she saw Li Xiuping returning, she quickly rushed to greet him.
Li Xiuping looked at her and said helplessly: "Originally, you should be enjoying the blessings now, but because of me, you have to be a maid for a few more months. To know that it would be like this, I should have talked to your head master before. Let’s talk about it.”
The maid named Yu smiled and said: "It is my honor to serve you. Master, please don't say that."
Li Xiuping stopped continuing this topic and said, "Don't let anyone disturb me during this period."
The maid named Yu responded.
Li Xiuping returned to the room and began to take out the Mysterious Fire Token, then drove it and carefully studied the runes on it.
According to what his senior sister said before, in order to lift the seal on the Mysterious Fire Order, Li Xiuping needs to enter the golden elixir stage, because only by entering the golden elixir stage can he have his own attributes and try to cast immortal weapons, and Only if he can forge the immortal weapon can he re-forge the Mysterious Fire Token, thereby peeling off the runes layer by layer.
Because of the willow tree, he is now unable to enter the Golden Core stage, but he has strength comparable to that of a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage, so Li Xiuping feels that it is not impossible to try casting an immortal weapon.
This should also be the thought of the woman in green, so she asked Li Xiuping to try it.
This kind of attempt would not cause any harm to Li Xiuping anyway. It really didn't work. Anyway, there was still the willow tree to protect him.
As the Mysterious Fire Token was driven, the runes on it also began to appear, trying their best to suppress the fire attribute energy in the Mysterious Fire Token.
Li Xiuping looked at the runes and couldn't understand them, but he felt a little familiar. He quickly thought of the Nascent Soul in the copper bowl.
As soon as Li Xiuping thought, the copper bowl appeared directly, the runes on it flickered, and then the Nascent Soul emerged. At this moment, he actually turned into a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
After the Nascent Soul appeared, he frowned slightly, and soon saw the Mysterious Fire Token suspended in front of Li Xiuping, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is this the rumored Mysterious Fire Order?"
When Nascent Soul spoke, his voice sounded childish.
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Do you know this thing?"
The Nascent Soul nodded and said: "It is rumored that this thing came from Taoism and was used to suppress a nine-tailed celestial fox. Later it fell into the hands of Jiuyuan Mountain and became the treasure of Jiuyuan Mountain. It was just because of the strength of the nine-tailed celestial fox. It is too powerful, so every once in a while, a seal needs to be reinforced on it, which also affects the power of this magical weapon."
Li Xiuping asked: "Can you understand these runes above?"
The Nascent Soul nodded, then frowned and asked, "You don't want to lift the seal on this, do you?"
Li Xiuping didn't hide anything and nodded.
This guy's life is now in his own hands. He can only do what he wants him to do, and it doesn't matter if he tells him.
The Nascent Soul immediately widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiuping in disbelief. After a while, he asked with certainty: "Are you kidding me?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"
The Nascent Soul continued: "There is a nine-tailed sky fox suppressed here. It is an existence that even immortals are afraid of. Once it is released, have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "What are the consequences?"
The Nascent Soul was stunned and realized that he didn't know.
Li Xiuping continued: "Whatever the consequences are, that's my business. It has nothing to do with you. Just tell me the meaning of these runes."
The Nascent Soul frowned and said, "Well, what are you doing by unraveling these runes? Do you want to control the power within them?"
He continued: "The power in this is indeed powerful, but precisely because it is powerful, not everyone can control it, so..."
Li Xiuping stared at him directly and said in a deep voice: "You talk a bit too much."
The Nascent Soul hurriedly shut up, then frowned and stared at Li Xiuping, as if hoping that Li Xiuping would change his mind. Unfortunately, the guy's eyes were firm and unquestionable.
The Nascent Soul sighed and could only begin to study the resting runes on the Mysterious Fire Order, and then tell Li Xiuping what he understood one by one.
Afterwards, based on his understanding of these runes and the way Mr. Ou Ye stayed in the Monster Clan, Li Xiuping began to try to contact the first layer of seals on the Mysterious Fire Order.
As the sword intent continued to be released, Li Xiuping had long expected that it would not be a simple matter to come into contact with these runes, but he did not expect it to be so difficult. In just an instant, the sword intent in his body suffered a huge loss, and the Xuanhuo Order The runes did not change at all.
Fortunately, there is constant replenishment from the willow tree, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the so-called method left by Mr. Ouye.
This process lasted all night, and finally, in the silent night sky, there was a crisp "click" sound, and then the first rune began to loosen, and then under the continuous influence of the sword, one of the runes began to faintly Cracks appear.
Li Xiuping, who had originally planned to give up, saw this change and immediately gathered his strength and released all his sword intent to continuously destroy the cracked rune.
With a loud noise, the entire house where Li Xiuping lived was lifted up in an instant, and all the first restrictions on the Xuanhuo Order were broken.
