As time went on, various medicinal materials and elixirs were continuously delivered to Li Xiuping's residence, and soon the entire house could not be filled.
Then Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect selected many alchemists and sent them all to Li Xiuping's residence, waiting for Li Xiuping's dispatch. After all, they didn't know exactly what kind of elixir Li Xiuping needed. instruct.
Li Xiuping first screened out the useful elixirs, and asked the Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect to bring back the rest. Then he screened those medicinal materials and made a list of the selected medicinal materials for Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect. Zong helped with the screening, and then informed the alchemists of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect of the required elixirs.
With a clear goal in mind, the alchemists of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect began to take action. A Zun Alchemy Furnace appeared out of thin air in Li Xiuping's yard, and then balls of flames continued to rise from the alchemy furnace. The alchemists all became busy.
In the room, Li Xiuping was not idle either. He first took the selected elixirs one after another, then refined them and used them with wine to repair his spiritual veins...
After all the elixirs were absorbed, Li Xiuping also started to refine elixirs. However, due to the current condition of his body, some simple elixirs could not be refined, because the operation of the sword intention in the body was a huge problem, and even more so. Not to mention feeling the fire attribute energy between heaven and earth to make elixirs.
The elixir that could be easily refined before was now extremely difficult to smelt. If it weren't for the fact that the elixir furnace he used was an immortal weapon, this step would not have been completed.
After smelting all the ingredients needed for an elixir, Li Xiuping was sweating profusely, and then stopped to rest for a while, while showing a wry smile.
It's true that once you get sick, everything can be done. Things that you could do easily before are now so difficult.
After resting for a while, Li Xiuping continued to refine the elixir. Without exception, the first elixir ended in failure.
After that, Li Xiuping stopped and rested like this, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. However, Li Xiuping still found some rules. As he became more and more proficient in the art of alchemy, Li Xiuping found that although it was painful, he could also get a lot of benefits, such as Some subtle problems that were not noticed when refining the elixir before have now become apparent. As these problems have been improved, both the speed of elixir refining and the loss of elixir refining have been reduced a lot.
After the elixir was released, Li Xiuping drank it directly, got the first batch of elixirs from the alchemists, and then drank all the elixirs.
With the help of these elixirs, the spiritual veins in the body began to recover to some extent. According to the speed of the retraction of the willow branches and the speed of the recovery of the spiritual veins, it should be possible to repair the spiritual veins before all the willow branches retracted.
As time went on, with the help of those elixirs, Li Xiuping's physical wear and tear was quickly restored. Although it will take a lot of time to fully recover, there is no big problem in mobilizing the sword intention to refine the elixir.
There is no problem in refining alchemy, but the loss of medicinal materials is serious. Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect alone can hardly support the loss of so many medicinal materials.
Seeing that Li Xiuping was still consuming a large amount of medicinal materials, the strong men of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect had ugly expressions. They had guessed that the loss would be considerable, but they did not expect that the loss would be so large. This was completely beyond what they could bear. The key to the scope is that those medicinal materials are highly targeted and extremely difficult to find.
At this moment, the senior officials of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect gathered together and frowned as they looked at the medicinal materials collected by their disciples.
The medicinal materials collected in the past two days have become less and less, and they are really afraid that they will not be able to supply Li Xiuping's needs.
The head of Tianlan Sect said: "Ancestor, what should we do now? These are all the medicinal materials that can be collected."
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect frowned, and then said: "I'll deliver it, and check the situation by the way. You should collect these medicinal materials as much as possible. If it doesn't work, you can only..."
He didn't say anything further, but put away those things and walked towards Li Xiuping's residence.
Entering the courtyard where Li Xiuping was, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the room full of alchemy furnaces and countless alchemists sweating profusely as they manipulated the flames. It was a different kind of scenery.
Just at this time, Li Xiuping walked out of the house, and the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect walked up and handed the medicinal materials in his hand to Li Xiuping. He seemed to find it a little difficult to say, but said: "Almost all the medicinal materials Mr. Li needs have been found. I've searched all over the place, and I've been able to find less and less in the past two days, I'm afraid..."
Li Xiuping took more medicinal materials from his hand and said, "It should be about the same. It doesn't matter if it's a little bit different."
Hearing this, the ancestor of Tianlan Sect breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiuping continued: "There is no need to collect medicinal materials, but we can collect some sword-making materials."
The ancestor of Tianlan Sect could not help but frown.
The collection of medicinal materials has already cost Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect almost all their savings. Now they have to collect sword-making materials. In addition to the cost of purchasing those materials for Li Xiuping, the two families don't know how much it will cost. It takes years to recover.
Li Xiuping seemed to know what the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect was thinking, and said with a smile: "I plan to forge some spiritual swords. I can't let all the seniors' hard work be in vain, nor can the Hua Tianzong and Tianlan Sect's efforts be in vain. It's a pity that I Now I can’t express my gratitude with anything, so I can only make some spiritual swords to express my gratitude.”
Hearing this, the ancestor of Tianlan Sect suddenly beamed with joy.
If it is true as Li Xiuping said, then all the previous losses were worth it, and even Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect made a profit.
Of course, this is from a long-term perspective. From a short-term perspective, Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect have indeed suffered a lot of losses this time. For a long time to come, Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect will probably have to cut back on food and clothing.
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect asked: "Is it okay as long as the materials can be used to make swords?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Spiritual products are fine."
The ancestor of Tianlan Sect nodded and said: "Okay, I will make arrangements now."
Li Xiuping nodded, and after seeing off the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect, he distributed the medicinal materials he had just obtained, keeping some for himself and began to refine the final elixir.
The layman Qingming didn't know how to make elixirs, so naturally he couldn't help. However, he had been staying by Li Xiuping's side during this period, just for fear of something unexpected happening.
At this moment, layman Qingming walked up to Li Xiuping and frowned: "Is it really okay for you to forge a sword with your body?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "After refining these elixirs, it shouldn't be a problem to recover to 70% to 80%. Although this little guy is already asleep, doesn't he still have the immortal treasure of Master Huo Ling?"
Master Qingming glanced at the jet black bracelet on Li Xiuping's hand, nodded, and then asked: "By the way, what did you do with the body of Master Huo Ling before?"
Li Xiuping replied: "I killed a Nascent Soul monk in the Penglai Immortal Boat before, and I have been carrying his Nascent Soul with me ever since. I made a deal about the Taoist immortal treasure before, and he taught me how to master it. That fairy treasure, I will help him resurrect and return to the world."
Master Qingming nodded and said, "That's it."
Li Xiuping continued: "I have nothing serious to do now. Senior, there is no need to worry too much. There is no need to keep guarding me. Instead, you can go outside to see if there is any news, such as things about the demon clan."
The previous battle with Huoling Zhenren was Li Xiuping's first real contact with the demons, and this directly involved the inheritance he received at the ruins of the ancient battlefield, so Li Xiuping felt that the demons' affairs must have something to do with him. Relationship.
Master Qingming glanced at Li Xiuping and nodded, but did not leave immediately.
In the next three days, Li Xiuping and the alchemists of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect were refining elixirs. After the ancestor of Tianlan Sect conveyed Li Xiuping's needs, Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect also began to collect them. A material that can be used to forge spiritual swords.
When they first heard that Li Xiuping was going to help them make swords or spirit swords, both families couldn't help but be a little excited. However, as the sect's savings continued to decrease and their normal needs were affected, both families couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
Naturally, the more things like spiritual swords, the better, but they can't come up with enough materials now, so they can only cut off their wrists, save some unnecessary expenses, and seize this opportunity as much as possible. Let the sect have more spiritual swords.
After Li Xiuping took the refined elixirs one after another, although the damage to his meridians was not completely restored, as he had guessed before, it was 70% to 80% restored.
As the meridians recovered, those willow branches also disappeared, and the willow tree began to wilt. It could only rely on the fifteenth layer of spiritual crystals to barely support it, but the fifteenth layer of spiritual crystals that had already condensed a lot began to It has become thinner, so Li Xiuping's realm has not been improved, but has been reduced.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Li Xiuping proposed to forge swords, because refining elixirs cannot increase sword intent. You can only increase sword intent by forging swords, and then make up for the loss of fifteen layers of spiritual crystals. As long as you have enough sword intent, then The willow tree should slowly recover.
Of course, this must be an extremely long process, and during this time, Li Xiuping's realm will also stagnate for a long time.
Although he killed a strong man in the Fusion Stage, not only did he get the treasures from the real Huo Ling, but he also got a fire-attributed fairy weapon, but the losses were also obvious. This battle cost him a lot.
In Li Xiuping's current state, it might be possible to forge a sword. After all, it was just a spiritual sword, but if he wanted to fight, his meridians would not be able to support him at all.
However, this trauma did bring him a lot of benefits. For example, under the influence of those medicines, not only the repaired meridians were much tougher, but the strength of his entire body was also increased a lot.
What surprised Li Xiuping the most was that there was a change in his body that even he couldn't explain, that is, an existence similar to a golden elixir appeared in his spiritual sea.
Li Xiuping has seen many golden elixirs and even obtained many golden elixirs, so it is almost certain that they are golden elixirs.
But this golden elixir is completely different from the golden elixir he knows. Although it has the energy of the golden elixir, it cannot provide him with any sword intent or true energy, and it cannot even allow him to fly in the air like other golden elixir stage monks. , and his cultivation is indeed still building a foundation, building a fifteen-level foundation.
In other words, Li Xiuping now has an extra golden elixir in his body, but this golden elixir that appeared out of thin air seems to be completely useless to him, as if it is redundant.
Li Xiuping originally wanted to find out more about Qingming, but that Qingming had already left the Tianlan Sect to inquire about news from the outside world.
After completing their tasks, the alchemists from Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect also left one after another to find a place to rest.
Even if they are powerful, they cannot persist in refining elixirs for such a long time. But not everyone is like Li Xiuping. Not only can they not be beaten to death, but they can't collapse from exhaustion either.
This process lasted for almost a month. At this moment, Li Xiuping walked out of the courtyard arranged for him by the Tianlan Sect for the first time and walked towards the front mountain.
Along the way, I met many Tianlan Sect disciples. These Tianlan Sect disciples should all know that Li Xiuping wanted to help them refine spiritual weapons, so when they saw Li Xiuping, they were extremely polite, otherwise Li Xiuping would give it to the Tianlan Sect. When these disciples saw him, even due to the shock of that battle, they looked at Li Xiuping with fear at most, rather than with such a polite attitude.
Li Xiuping walked towards the main hall of Tianlan Sect. After entering the main hall, he found that there were many familiar people, such as the people from Huatian Sect whom he met before, such as the female cultivator from Huatian Sect who knew how to refine weapons and two others. They are all in the Tianlan Sect hall at the moment.
Seeing Li Xiuping walking in, everyone stood up and saluted at the same time.
Li Xiuping looked at the three people from Hua Tianzong and said, "Are you here too?"
The three of them nodded at the same time, but before they could say anything, an elder from the Hua Tian Sect said, "They heard that Young Master Li was going to make a sword, and they wanted to come and have a look no matter what. Young Master Li, don't be surprised."
Li Xiuping waved his hands and said: "What's so surprising about this, but I'm afraid it won't work for the time being. I need some time to recover from my physical injuries, and by the way, I can become proficient in the immortal treasure belonging to Master Huo Ling. After all, I have forged so many spiritual swords. It is obviously impossible to support it only by relying on the fire attribute energy between heaven and earth."
Everyone nodded at the same time and said repeatedly: "It should be done. Mr. Li's health is the most important thing. There is no need to worry about forging the sword."
Li Xiuping nodded, then looked at the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect and said, "Junior, there are some things that I would like to know from my senior."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then quickly left one after another, leaving only Li Xiuping and the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect.
After everyone left, the ancestor of Tianlan Sect asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Li?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to know something about spiritual practice from my seniors."
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect was stunned, as if he thought he had heard wrongly. A person who could kill a strong person in the Conjunction Stage actually wanted to consult a monk in the Transformation Stage like him about cultivation matters?
Li Xiuping then asked: "In the eyes of the seniors, what exactly is the Golden Pill? Or, does the Golden Pill have other forms? For example, a person who successfully condenses the Golden Pill can't control the air, or even manifest it. The aura of the golden elixir stage monks only has one more golden elixir, and there are no other changes."
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect frowned deeper and asked, "Did Mr. Li encounter such a situation?"
Li Xiuping didn't hide anything and nodded directly.
Seeing Li Xiuping nodding, the ancestor of Tianlan Sect frowned deeper and said: "Logically speaking, this situation does not exist, but it is recorded in ancient books that there are many forms of golden elixir, because of the way of practice. Different, the names are also different, for example, what is condensed by the demon clan is called the demon elixir, what is condensed by the demon clan is the demon heart, and what is condensed by human beings through the practice of kung fu is called the golden elixir."
He paused slightly, probably feeling that he had gone too far, and then continued: "But no matter which one you are, as long as you reach this state, you can basically fly in the air. However, there is one situation. I told Mr. Li before There are some similarities."
Li Xiuping suddenly looked at the ancestor of the Tianlan Sect with excitement.
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect continued: "In the past, it was rumored that some people could continuously strengthen their physical body through martial arts and form elixirs with their physical bodies. Some called it Wudan, and some called it Yuandan. The situation is just like what Mr. Li said. Pretty much.”
Li Xiuping frowned slightly and fell into thought.
If what this Tianlan Sect ancestor said is true, then he may have formed pills in another way. Because he had absorbed those demon pills before, his body was extremely powerful, and he had indeed formed pills before. It was because after absorbing those elixirs, his body became much stronger that the golden elixir appeared in his body.
In this way, although I have changed my method, I have indeed condensed the golden elixir. Does that mean that my lifespan has been improved? Does it mean that I can break the elixir and become a baby in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping was naturally a little excited and asked: "Then what is the function of this golden elixir? Or can it be broken into a baby?"
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect shook his head and said: "About the transformation of the physical body into elixirs, there are only some records in some classics. Basically, reaching the Yuan Dan stage is already the limit. After all, martial arts is difficult, and the martial arts inheritance has been lost. So today, it is almost impossible for people without spiritual roots to embark on the path of spiritual practice..."
Having said this, he looked at Li Xiuping and continued: "Of course, Mr. Li is an exception. With his ability, Mr. Li may be able to create another martial arts legend. Not to mention cultivating a martial spirit, he may even be able to become a saint physically. .”
It was the first time that Li Xiuping had heard of words such as Yuan Dan, Wuhun, and physical body sanctification. It was also the first time that he knew that there were other ways to practice cultivation.
Li Xiuping asked directly: "Can I lend this classic to this junior to read?"
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect smiled and said: "Of course, this thing is of no use anyway. It has been placed in the library for nearly a thousand years and no one has read it. I also read it when I was organizing the library, so there are many records Almost forgotten."
He continued: "Master Li, wait a moment, I will go get it right now."
With that said, he said goodbye and left the hall, heading towards the library.
