In addition to mastering the fire-attribute fairy treasure as quickly as possible, there is another matter that Li Xiuping also plans to solve before entering Wu Emperor City, and that is the matter of resurrecting the Nascent Soul.
The reason why the body of the real Huo Ling was left behind was to resurrect that guy.
In fact, to resurrect a Nascent Soul monk, you only need to find the body of a Golden Core monk, because after the Nascent Soul is resurrected, it can only have the cultivation of the Golden Core phase at most. If you want to return to its peak state, you need to re-establish it. Cultivation takes a lot of time to recover.
The reason why Li Xiuping chose this Huo Ling Master was because of his identity.
Entering the realm of Emperor Wu City this time, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. If you bring a fake Huoling real person with you, it can also bring some shock. In addition, the Qingming layman has two sages beside him. Any strong However, any force must be treated with caution.
Although one of them is false, one of them is true after all. Furthermore, who can tell clearly whether it is true or false.
Early the next morning, Li Xiuping informed Hua Tianzong that he needed to practice for a period of time, and he did not want to be disturbed during this period. Naturally, Hua Tianzong did not dare to disturb him.
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation did not last long. On the sixth day after Li Xiuping arrived at Huatian Sect, Master Qingming also came to Huatian Sect. After that, the two of them left Huatian Sect directly and headed east. Emperor Wu City.
Master Qing Ming obviously put his best efforts this time. Although it only took him more than three months, he was able to collect almost all the materials Li Xiuping needed, and now only two or three items were missing.
In fact, as long as you have the Immortal Origin Stone, it will be relatively easy to obtain the remaining materials, and layman Qingming is also one of the eight sages, an eleventh-level sword cultivator at the split-god stage. Although he is a casual cultivator, he must have his own It is naturally much easier for Li Xiuping to find connections and channels than to find them himself.
Qingming layman wielded his sword and led Li Xiuping forward in the air. The journey was calm and smooth, with stops and starts. It took almost three months to finally reach the territory of Emperor Wu City. At this time, Li Xiuping suddenly said: " Senior, please find a place to stop first."
The layman Qingming asked in confusion: "Are you worried that the guys from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower will set up an ambush in front of you?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Be careful and you will never go wrong."
Layman Qingming nodded and said, "That's the truth."
After saying that, Yu Jian fell into the sea of clouds, and then found a populated place to land, while saying: "This should be the largest city along the way. The last material you need may be found here."
Li Xiuping said: "In addition, we need to collect some other materials to refine a body that can accommodate the Nascent Soul."
layman Qingming nodded.
In order to avoid trouble, the two did not land directly in the city, but landed somewhere outside the city, and then walked to the city.
As he continued to approach the city, Li Xiuping found that there were many people rushing towards the city, and most of them were practitioners. To be more precise, most of them were disciples of the sect. It seemed that they were all heading for the Kraken in the East China Sea. .
When there are people, there will naturally be information. There is no need for the two of them to inquire about anything. A large amount of information can be obtained from the discussions of the people around them.
After entering the city, the two of them first found a place to stay, and then planned to collect the required materials while asking for exact information about Emperor Wu City.
Li Xiuping still finds it a bit incomprehensible. It was first rumored that he was a demon, but now he suddenly turned into a sea monster. There must be some reason for this.
After the two entered a restaurant, a storyteller in the restaurant happened to be narrating rumors related to Li Xiuping. His voice was full of emotion and emotion, which completely attracted everyone's attention.
Li Xiuping and Master Qingming found a place to sit down and listened to others telling their stories. They must have been somewhat proud.
At this time, someone suddenly said loudly: "That's nonsense. No matter how powerful Li Xiuping is, he is only in the foundation-building stage. How can he kill Huo Ling, one of the eight sages? You know, Huo Ling is a strong person in the integration stage."
Even though he suffered this, the storyteller was not angry, smiled slightly, and said: "You all only know that Master Huo Ling is a strong man in the integration stage, but you don't know that our Master Huo Ling actually colluded with the demons and practiced the evil methods of the demons. Hehe , If it weren’t for the demon secret method, he might not be the opponent of the Qingming layman."
Having said this, he paused again deliberately, and continued: "You all don't know that on that day in the Lan Sect, Master Huo Ling and Master Qingming fought for 300 rounds, and they were evenly matched. After that, Master Huo Ling used a magic spell. Using the clan's secret method, he defeated layman Qingming, and saw that thousands of disciples of the entire Tianlan Sect were about to be slaughtered and become the monster's meal. At this moment, Li Xiuping suddenly appeared, asking an immortal to possess him, and summoned all kinds of demons. The treasure of the Immortal Family made the Huoling Master retreat again and again until he was defeated and died."
He glanced around and said with a smile: "You said earlier that Li Xiuping only had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage. Why was he able to kill the Huo Ling Zhenren who was already in the Fusion stage? It's because our Mr. Li is from heaven and earth. A banished immortal can connect with the immortal world and invite real immortals. If this is not the case, why would the Master Jiuxian who has not appeared for thousands of years show up to help a monk who is only in the foundation building stage?"
Many people actually nodded along and really believed this statement.
Li Xiu Ping originally thought it was funny, but soon he didn't find it funny anymore.
Yes, if it weren't for some reason, why would the wine master come forward to help him? Is it really just because of his relationship with Mr. Ou Ye?
So far, there are actually quite a few things that can be determined. The first is the matter of entering the Penglai Immortal Boat. It was obviously intentional by the Master Jiu Xian, in order to allow him to obtain the willow tree of the Penglai Immortal Boat, which is the so-called The hibiscus sacred tree.
It is precisely because of this willow tree that Li Xiuping was able to solve the shortcomings of his own practice and no longer had to worry about the loss of sword intent in his body. So after coming out of the Penglai Immortal Boat, Li Xiuping didn't think deeply about it. Even after becoming the junior uncle of Guanchao Academy, Li Xiuping just felt that he had just obtained the inheritance of the saint from Guanchao Academy, until he later entered the ruins of the ancient battlefield. , after obtaining the so-called inheritance, and then connecting all the things that happened before, only to find that they are actually connected.
If it weren't for Mr. Ouye, I wouldn't have this special way of practice. If it weren't for the special way of practice, even if I entered the Penglai Immortal Boat, I wouldn't be able to get that willow tree. If it weren't for that willow tree, it wouldn't be Because he became the Junior Master of Guanchao Academy, he could not go to Piaoxue Country on behalf of Guanchao Academy, he could not enter the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and he could not obtain the so-called inheritance.
The key is that what happened when he received the inheritance is still difficult for Li Xiuping to forget.
An immortal, an immortal from ancient times, with whom he had no connection whatsoever, actually knelt in front of him and called him master. To this day, Li Xiuping has not been able to figure out what happened.
Originally, as long as he unlocked those inheritances, everything would be revealed, but because of the battle in Tianlan Sect, he did not dare to easily unlock those inheritances, because it would not only cause him to suffer heavy losses, but might even cause another person to suffer. disappear completely.
This is also the situation that Li Xiuping is most troubled by.
He clearly knew that the other self wanted to kill him and replace him, and now was the best chance to get rid of the other self, as long as he unlocked the so-called inheritance.
But now he really needs the kind of power that his other self possesses.
If it is just the kind of power that can fight against the strong ones in the integration stage, that's it. The key is that once the other self is wiped out, oneself will completely return to the original situation, and even everything he has now will completely disappear.
If the other self does not exist, then everything related to the other self will also disappear, including those inheritances.
In other words, unraveling the inheritance will not bring any benefit to Li Xiuping except erasing his other self. On the contrary, there will inevitably be huge problems in his future practice. For example, if he cannot condense the golden elixir, he will not be able to enter. In the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention the subsequent transformation into gods, distractions, and integration.
It has been established that you cannot practice without spiritual roots. Although he successfully built the foundation by relying on the secret method left by Mr. Ouye, he was stuck outside the threshold of forming a pill. However, because of the willow tree, It allowed him to directly skip the Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage and Divine Transformation stage, and have the state of soul separation that only the strong people in the distraction stage can have, that is, creating two selves in the same world.
If he is really determined to obliterate his other self, it will be equivalent to obliterating his own opportunities for cultivation.
Because of the existence of another self, he will be able to merge sooner or later and become a strong man in the integration stage. But without the existence of another self, he will always be stagnant in the foundation building stage, without any possibility of climbing higher.
This is why Li Xiuping looked so excited when he learned that martial arts can also form pills.
Forming martial arts pills is like seeing another brand-new path of practice. First, you can rely on this path to continuously become stronger until you can fight against another self, so that you can completely take the initiative when you merge. Second, If it really doesn't work, even if you erase the other self, even if everything related to the other self disappears, you can still rely on this new path of practice to continue to move forward on the path of practice, continue to form elixirs, become babies, and transform into children. God, distraction, integration...
He had no choice before, so Li Xiuping desperately wanted to get rid of his other self, but he didn't dare to really do it. Now that I have a choice, I am naturally not as urgent and worried as before. So I don't have to worry too much about erasing myself. At least I have gradually gained some initiative from being completely passive.
Although he has not received all the inheritance, one thing is certain, that is, he and his other self both want to obliterate each other, but before the conditions for merging are met, the other self will definitely not obliterate him. Otherwise, we would have taken action long ago.
In this case, there is still plenty of time to observe and understand slowly, so there is no need to rush to make a decision at this time, otherwise once the wrong decision is made, there will be no possibility of making up for it.
Now when he heard what the storyteller said, Li Xiuping's heart suddenly became filled with turmoil.
So far, there is no clue about his life experience, because everything seems to have nothing to do with his life experience. In this world, everything related to him seems to be nothing else except his master.
Then there was what happened at the ruins of the ancient battlefield. An immortal who was not at the same era or at the same level as himself knelt down in front of him and called himself master.
Of course, this could not be a case of mistaken identity, which could only mean that he might really be the master of that immortal.
An existence that even immortals call master, what kind of existence is that? But he is obviously just Li Xiuping, a mortal without spiritual roots who has only been in this world for twenty years. How could he be the master of an immortal who has fallen for who knows how many years?
Is it possible that reincarnation really exists in this world? Is it possible that there really is an immortal who descends to earth to gain experience?
So is he reincarnated, or an immortal descending to earth?
Li Xiuping really didn't dare to think about this kind of thing before, because this kind of legend usually only existed among the people, but after reaching the cultivation world, few people would believe it. Because of their understanding of spiritual practice, no one would believe such a legend.
The so-called practice is the process from the mortal body to the separation from the mortal body, and the ultimate goal of practice is to ascend to immortality.
Once a person becomes an immortal and reaches the legendary immortal world, how can he return to the world and experience the pain of cultivation again?
But everything he has experienced now points to this possibility. Apart from this explanation, he really can't find a more reasonable explanation.
Li Xiuping looked at layman Qingming and asked, "Senior, is there really reincarnation and immortals descending to earth in this world?"
The layman Qingming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Reincarnation is too mysterious, and no one can prove whether it is true or false. However, the matter of immortals descending to earth almost does not exist. It is like a person who has gone through countless hardships and finally passed. Once you have the life you want, you naturally don’t want to go through the previous hardships again. In the same way, how can an immortal who has reached the immortal world return to the human world and become a mortal."
He looked at Li Xiuping and continued: "But ordinary people like us don't know much about things in the immortal world, so we can't tell whether it is true or false. It's just that it's impossible according to common sense."
Li Xiuping nodded and stopped worrying about this matter.
Anyway, sooner or later, those inheritances will be unraveled, and sooner or later, the truth will be revealed. Now, no matter how much I think about it, I can't get the answer, so it is better to spend my time on the current things.
Next, the storyteller continued to talk. No matter how exaggerated or mysterious his words were, no one raised any questions.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Those who can see the problem do not need to argue with an ordinary gentleman about whether it is true or false. Those who cannot see the problem will naturally choose to believe it.
However, as a person involved, Li Xiuping was really curious.
Because the rumors mentioned by the storyteller were not very different from the real situation. It was as if this guy was personally involved in everything that happened to Li Xiuping.
Logically speaking, even those powerful people in the spiritual world cannot fully understand many things. So how does an ordinary storyteller know so much?
Li Xiuping had already sensed it with his spiritual consciousness when he first came in, and was sure that the storyteller was just an ordinary person. Now he couldn't help but use his spiritual consciousness to sense it again, but he still didn't gain anything.
If the other self is not asleep, you can let him sense it. After all, where his realm is, his perception is limited. If some people with too high a singing realm can hide their cultivation, he will naturally not be able to tell.
Li Xiuping lowered his voice and asked, "Senior, do you think the storyteller might be a hidden strong man?"
Hearing this, layman Qingming glanced at the storyteller, then withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said: "It's not like that. Even if a strong person deliberately hides his cultivation, he just can't tell the depth, and there will be some obscure aura. , but this person can completely see through it, that he is just an ordinary person."
Li Xiuping nodded, but kept staring at the storyteller, and whispered: "How can an ordinary person know so much?"
The layman Qingming said casually: "Perhaps there are some special channels, but don't underestimate these people who are running around in the rivers and lakes at the bottom of the mountain. They are inquiring about information and grasping information. They may not be able to match them on the mountain."
Li Xiuping looked away, just as the food was on the table.
After eating, Li Xiuping asked someone about the places where spiritual treasures could be traded, and then went to search for the materials he needed.
I was busy until nightfall. I walked half a circle around the whole city, but couldn't find the materials to make a sword. I did collect all the materials needed to refine the body.
Although he had gathered the materials needed to refine the body, Li Xiuping did not start refining immediately. Instead, he planned to visit the remaining half of the city tomorrow to see if he could gather the materials needed to make the sword. together.
Compared with refining the body, it is more important to cast the first fairy sword, because once the fairy sword is cast, many problems will be solved. On the contrary, refining the body will not be of much help to Li Xiuping.
And whether you are forging swords or refining bodies, you have to find a relatively secluded place. You can't do it in this city. Not only will you not be able to concentrate on it, but it will also cause unnecessary trouble.
Now that we have arrived in Emperor Wu City, we may encounter the powerful people from Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower at any time. And because of the Tianlan Sect, many people must know his whereabouts now. Maybe Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower are very familiar with his whereabouts. The guys in the building already knew where he was.
The reason why he did not take action directly now is either because there are more important matters at hand that need to be dealt with, or because he has one of the eight sages, the layman Qingming, by his side. But no matter what the reason is, he cannot be careless and must always Stay alert.
