After entering the city, Li Xiuping found out that the sect in charge this time actually had a close relationship with the Taoist sect and was considered a branch of the Taoist sect.
This is nothing at first. The key lies in the fact that a sect that is involved with the Taoist sect, and the wise men it invites, probably have a close relationship with the Taoist sect.
Li Xiuping couldn't say he disliked the Taoist sect, but he really didn't like it. After all, the reason why there were so many dangers along the way was because the Taoists were manipulating everything behind the scenes.
If it weren't for Taiyi Pavilion's constant push behind the scenes, many things wouldn't have happened.
But even so, Li Xiuping actually has no prejudice against Taoism.
The Taoists and the Taiyi Pavilion naturally have their own reasons for doing this, because after all, it involves a dispute between sects and factions. Since Li Xiuping chose to side with the demon clan and the Confucian side, then naturally We have to face Taoist suppression.
Therefore, whether it is Taoism or Taiyi Pavilion, they must deal with him at any cost. In fact, it is just because of different positions.
People are inherently selfish, and practitioners are even more so. As long as it is beneficial to themselves, they will never do anything too much. This is the same as Li Xiuping robbing others and killing others. But now he has become the one being robbed and hunted.
What now puts Li Xiuping in a dilemma is whether he wants to participate in this auction.
The material for casting the fairy sword is extremely rare. It's hard to find it, so naturally you can't let it go easily.
But once he shows up, once the wise man is really involved with Taoism, it will be difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take action against him.
If it were someone else, that would be fine, but it happened to be a wise man. If he really wanted to attack him, even if there was only one person, even if he tried his best, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
To be able to become a sage, one must at least have cultivated in the distraction stage, and may even have reached the integration stage. It would be difficult to fight against such a powerful being, even if another person takes action.
But now they have entered the city, and the auction has not yet started. Even if a wise man is really invited, he probably won't show up at this time. I just take this opportunity to inquire carefully. For example, that wise man is the Eight Sages. Which one among them, what is its relationship with Taoism, etc.
After you figure this out, decide whether to stay or leave.
Because of this spiritual treasure transaction, many monks gathered in the small city. Golden Core monks can be seen everywhere, and sometimes you can even feel the breath of one or two Nascent Soul powerhouses.
This is before the auction starts. Once the auction starts, more powerful people will appear, and there may even be a few monks in the god transformation stage.
It can be seen that this originally small auction had a huge impact because of a wise man.
It can be seen that the energy and influence of a wise man are indeed beyond imagination.
It's not a bad thing to gather so many powerful people. For example, he doesn't need to inquire about some of the things Li Xiuping wants to know. He can know some information just by listening to the conversations of these powerful people, such as some information about the sage.
Judging from the news I heard, the sect in charge did invite a wise man this time, and this so-called spiritual treasure transaction was obviously proposed by that wise man, and that wise man and the sect who organized it , or seems to have little connection with Taoism as a whole.
From this point of view, this Lingbao Trading Conference was not initiated by the local sect independently, but the sage's intention. It's just that the sect was more lucky and was invited by the sage to speak for him, and then he would naturally get huge benefits. benefit.
Li Xiuping can influence the future of Qingfeng Sect, let alone a wise man.
After knowing this, Li Xiuping couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he really met that wise man, the other party would not attack him for no reason.
To put it bluntly, he is now the junior uncle of Guanchao Academy, the successor selected by the senior sword master of Xijianchi, and has the Jiuxian as his backer. If it weren’t for his grudges or his own interests, No one wants to mess with him.
But that's not always the case. After all, he is now carrying a lot of money, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't be motivated by money. In fact, many troubles along the way were due to those fairy treasures, such as the Star Observation Tower.
As one of the holy places, Star Observation Tower would not easily offend an existence with a strong backer, let alone get involved in the grudges between several holy places. It seems that in the end, it chose to cooperate with Taiyi Pavilion to deal with Li Xiuping. He even did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi. The main reason was because of the secret treasure on Li Xiuping.
The matter of the Penglai Immortal Boat is no longer a secret, especially after the Penglai Immortal Boat collapsed and became Penglai Continent. Many powerful people can directly enter it, so some clues will naturally slowly emerge.
If Li Xiuping only had immortal treasures on his body, it might not be enough to seduce a holy land, at least he wouldn't let a holy land take risks. But apart from those immortal treasures on Li Xiuping, I'm afraid there are more powerful beings on him, such as the Penglai Immortal Boat. The hibiscus sacred tree.
After Li Xiuping entered the Penglai Immortal Boat, the Penglai Immortal Boat collapsed directly. After Li Xiuping came out of the Penglai Immortal Boat, his strength suddenly increased greatly. Anyone who is not a fool can know the whereabouts of the Fusang Sacred Tree.
The immortal treasures in this world have been collected and are rare, and they are even said to be divine weapons.
Putting aside the two immortals who have not appeared for thousands of years, let's just talk about the three mountains. All added up, there are only two artifacts. One is in the hands of Kunlun Mountain. It is rumored that it was passed down in ancient times and is called the Kunlun Mirror. It can Know the past and future, and understand everything.
Then there is something over there in Qingqiu Mountain. No one has seen it, so no one knows what it is. No one is even sure whether it exists or not.
If it weren't for this, the Homecoming weapon forged by Mr. Ou Ye would not have been ranked third. It was because there were two artifacts in front of it. Because he didn't know what the artifact in Qingqiu Mountain was, so he Ranked after the Kunlun Mirror and before the return journey.
Therefore, the entire cultivation world may have ideas about immortal treasures, but no one will consider artifacts. However, because of the appearance of Li Xiuping, there are two more artifacts. One is grown in Penglai Immortal. There is a sacred tree in the boat, and the other thing is the sacred sword without a scabbard given to the fox demon in Qingqiu Mountain after the senior Jiuxian appeared.
As a result, the journey home that Mr. Ouye spent his whole life building was suddenly ranked fifth. As a result, Mr. Ouye's influence on the entire spiritual world also experienced huge fluctuations. The unsheathed divine sword was also made by Mr. Ouye, so the great swordsmith, who was obviously just a mortal, once again became more influential than before.
As Mr. Ouye's influence increases, Li Xiuping's influence will naturally increase as well, because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever been heard of being able to cast a divine weapon.
Divine weapons are different from immortal weapons. Immortal weapons can be forged. This is the best proof of this, Mr. Ouye. However, magical weapons can only be passed down from ancient times. They are powerful existences that humans cannot forge at all. But Mr. Ouye It was actually cast, and the impact it had was evident.
If casting an immortal sword can bring about changes in the entire world of spiritual practice, then casting a divine sword can cause changes not only in the entire world of spiritual practice, but probably in the future of the entire human race, and it is very likely to directly rewrite the entire world of human spiritual practice. History.
So Mr. Ouye can forge a divine sword. Will Li Xiuping, who has inherited Mr. Ouye's legacy, be able to forge a divine sword as well?
If that's the case, not to mention the Seven Holy Lands, even the Four Cities and Three Mountains, I'm afraid they won't act rashly.
The reason why Star Observation Tower chose to take action against Li Xiuping was because Star Observation Tower was in an embarrassing situation now and because of the secret method they practiced.
For a long time, although the Star Observation Tower is one of the Seven Holy Lands, and although its position is neither high nor low, it has never been given ownership of the ancient battlefield ruins. This seems to be a good thing, but it is actually a bad thing.
Other holy places have their ups and downs, and there will be a huge change every three hundred years. Either they become the weakest among the seven holy places, or they go from the weakest to the strongest. Only the Star Observation Tower remains the same.
This is because the secret methods they practice are completely different from those of others.
After Li Xiuping appeared, he first successfully built the foundation without spiritual roots, which broke many people's understanding of cultivation. After coming out of the Penglai Immortal Boat, he was able to fight against the powerful Nascent Soul stage by relying on his foundation-building stage cultivation. The killing of a strong man in the Golden Core stage directly changed everyone's view of the realm of cultivation.
Therefore, the Star Observation Tower has always believed that Li Xiuping's practice method may be useful to the Star Observation Tower. At least the hibiscus sacred tree on Li Xiuping's body is useful to the Star Observation Tower.
This is the reason why the young monk from Xianglushan could defeat everyone in the academy before meeting Li Xiuping, but finally chose to give up, while the genius from Guanxinglou still wanted to fight Li Xiuping.
It wasn't that the Star Observation Tower really looked down on Li Xiuping, but it wanted to test Li Xiuping to determine Li Xiuping's physical condition.
Facts have proved that Li Xiuping is indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he has power comparable to that of a strong person at the Nascent Soul stage. This also proves that Li Xiuping has many secrets unknown to outsiders, and these secrets may be It can solve the current situation of the Star Observation Tower.
Originally, as long as Li Xiuping was roped in, he might be able to help the Star Observation Tower, but such an effect would definitely not satisfy the Star Observation Tower.
First, Li Xiuping was already in contact with Guanchao Academy and Xijianchi at that time, so naturally he would not care about a Star Observation Tower's overtures. It was difficult to guarantee that he would do his best to help the Star Observation Tower.
Secondly, Li Xiuping had already offended Taiyi Pavilion at that time. If Star Observation Tower sided with Li Xiuping at this time, it would be tantamount to having trouble with Taiyi Pavilion.
Taiyi Pavilion is an authentic Taoist sect, with Kunlun Mountain, one of the three mountains, as its backing. Whether it is the Sword Washing Pond or the Guanchao Academy, they are in a difficult situation now. Otherwise, they would not put their hopes in Li Xiuping, who is only in the foundation building period. On the young man.
In other words, offending Guanchao Hospital and Xijianchi at the same time is not as good as offending Taiyi Pavilion.
Obviously, Kunlun Mountain will never really care about the life and death of Taiyi Pavilion. Once Taiyi Pavilion is really in danger, Kunlun Mountain will definitely take action to ensure the influence of Taoism in the spiritual world. If Taiyi Pavilion is lost, Taoism will have no chance. It's like losing an arm. Kunlun Mountain would never allow this to happen.
The third and most important point is that it is impossible for Li Xiuping to take out the things on Li Xiuping and hand them over to the Star Observation Tower. If the Star Observation Tower wants to get them, they can only kill Li Xiuping.
Although Li Xiuping has many backers behind him, including one of the two immortals, Jiu Xian, among the ruins of the ancient battlefield, if Li Xiuping is really dead, no one can be sure that it was the Star Observation Tower that did it. After all, there is Taiyi. The pavilion has been targeting Li Xiuping. Even if the senior Jiuxian really comes forward, the first thing that comes to mind will be Taiyi Pavilion.
It is naturally impossible for Taiyi Pavilion alone to fight against the senior Jiuxian, but behind Taiyi Pavilion is Kunlun Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain will not watch Taiyi Pavilion be destroyed. It will definitely come forward when the time comes. In this way, it will have the ability to compete with that elder. Even the Brewmaster would have to think carefully about his ability to compete.
In the final analysis, Li Xiuping is dead. Does that wine master really want to contend with the entire Taoist sect for a dead person?
You must know that Taoism has a heritage of nearly ten thousand years, and there are some powerful foundations in it. Even an immortal would have to be afraid of it.
In this case, who would pay attention to a star observation tower?
Taiyi Pavilion wants to get Guanxinglou to join the group, and Guanxinglou wants to rely on Taiyi Pavilion's cover to get what he needs.
But no one expected that even if Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower joined forces, all the geniuses would be trapped in the ruins of the ancient battlefield.
No one knows what happened in the ruins of the ancient battlefield, but the death of the geniuses of the two holy places must have something to do with Li Xiuping.
Originally, the Star Observation Tower could continue to persist for a while, but now all the geniuses have been destroyed, which directly resulted in the entire Star Observation Tower having no successors. The originally embarrassing situation became even more embarrassing. No need for any changes by then, the Star Observation Tower will be directly It has become the weakest among the Seven Holy Lands, and may even be replaced by other forces.
The only person who can change this situation is Li Xiuping.
As long as we get the secrets of Li Xiuping and the sacred fusang tree, we can completely reverse the situation facing the Star Observation Tower.
This is the reason why the powerful men from Taiyi Pavilion hesitated when meeting Li Xiuping after leaving Piaoxue City, while the Star Observation Tower took action directly.
Because the Star Observation Tower had to kill Li Xiuping, and if he couldn't kill him in the ruins of the ancient battlefield, he would come out and kill him again, and Taiyi Pavilion would still be able to take the blame.
The two holy places are scheming against each other, and they both think they are the winners.
If the Star Observation Tower, one of the holy places, is like this, then it is not necessarily impossible for other powerful people to want to obtain treasures from Li Xiuping.
It's impossible to say that this wise man came just for Li Xiuping. The reason why this spiritual treasure trading conference was arranged was probably to attract Li Xiuping. Then this so-called spiritual treasure transaction was probably a funeral prepared for Li Xiuping.
Otherwise, why would a sage like this come to a place like this to force a small sect to hold an auction?
There must be a reason behind it.
At this time, Li Xiuping really shouldn't be in contact with these powerful people who he can't deal with, because he doesn't have any support at all around him now. Once danger arises, it will be difficult for him to deal with it alone, but the materials for casting the fairy sword are not enough for him. It is too important to say that it is really difficult to give up when you encounter it.
After almost figuring out the situation, Li Xiuping asked directly in his mind: "If you fight that wise man, how sure are you that you can escape."
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea replied directly: "At most 50%. If the other party insists on killing you, they may even destroy one or two immortal treasures."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
Destroy a fairy treasure or two?
The power of the fairy treasure when it explodes cannot be underestimated. Not to mention the strong ones in the distraction stage, even the strong ones in the integration stage may not be able to bear it, but the price is too high.
Immortal treasures are very important to everyone, but they are even more important to Li Xiuping. It is because of these immortal treasures that he can kill the strong ones in the Nascent Soul stage with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and even be able to compete with the strong ones in the Transformation God Stage. To contend with it, once one or two of them are destroyed, his strength will be greatly affected. When the time comes, not to mention the strong ones in the transformation stage, even the strong ones in the Nascent Soul stage will be difficult to deal with.
Forging an immortal sword is indeed of great significance to Li Xiuping. If he can use two immortal weapons as a price in exchange for forging his first immortal sword, Li Xiuping is naturally willing to accept it. After all, the successful casting of an immortal sword is better than the two immortal treasures on his body. Looking up, it is obviously more meaningful to forge the fairy sword.
If he really had to choose, Li Xiuping would choose to use two pieces of advance to forge the first fairy sword.
But now there are only a few materials needed to cast the fairy sword, not all the materials, not to mention all the materials, there is still a risk of failure, so destroying one or two fairy swords as a price, Li It was really hard for Shuhei to accept this.
Li Xiuping, who was in the territorial sea, continued: "It's just a few pieces of materials. Life is still important. Otherwise, forget it. Enter Wu Emperor City first, and then collect it slowly."
Li Xiuping asked again: "Do you also think he is here for me?"
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true, but this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Li Xiuping frowned, what kind of answer was this.
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea continued: "There are demons appearing in the east, so maybe he went there for this matter."
Li Xiuping was stunned and frowned: "What do you mean?"
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea said: "What matters to the demon clan is related to the fate of every human monk. All monks will be involved. As a wise man, he naturally has such a responsibility."
Li Xiuping still didn't quite understand, but he didn't speak and continued to wait.
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea continued: "As one of the sages, he himself has considerable influence. Now, through the Lingbao Trading Conference, everyone is gathered together, and then with a wave of his arms, some Nascent Souls will naturally follow him to fight against him. Demon clan.”
Li Xiuping nodded this time.
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea continued: "Of course, this is just my guess. What exactly he wants and how you choose depends entirely on yourself."
