The next day, Li Xiuping walked through the remaining half of the city and didn't get what he wanted, so he had no choice but to return to his residence. In fact, Li Xiuping had already expected this result, so he naturally talked a lot about his disappointment.
When he returned to the restaurant, the storyteller from yesterday was still chattering in the restaurant, working hard, as if the restaurant had given him a lot of benefits.
It happened to be noon at this time, so Li Xiuping asked the restaurant waiter to prepare some food, and then found a seat in the corner to sit down and listen while eating. It was great to hear others bragging about their heroic deeds without spending money. things.
However, the storyteller soon stopped talking about things related to Li Xiuping, and instead directly talked about the Kraken in the East China Sea and the City of Emperor Wu.
As a result, Li Xiuping became even more interested.
If this person hadn't said so many things that were closely related to him yesterday, if this person hadn't been able to say things that were related to him so well, even if he talked about Emperor Wu's City and the Kraken in the East China Sea today, Li Xiuping would still be convinced. He didn't believe it, but now Li Xiuping really wanted to get some useful information from this person.
He suddenly talked about Emperor Wu City and the Kraken. Not to mention Li Xiuping, everyone in the restaurant was also interested. After all, they had been listening to the rumors about Li Xiuping. No matter how legendary they were, they would get tired of them if they heard them too much. Moreover, this place is already within the territory of Martial Emperor City. Most of the monks who come here are also going to Martial Emperor City and the Kraken. Therefore, compared to Li Xiuping's rumors, people are more willing to hear things related to the Kraken.
"Aren't you curious why it was rumored to be a demon at first and now it has become a sea monster?" The storyteller glanced around and gave the impression.
Everyone immediately looked at each other with growing anticipation.
It is true that the first news coming out of the East China Sea was related to the demon clan, but for some reason, now the rumors about the demon clan no longer appear, but instead it has become the siren clan. Naturally, people can't help but be curious.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been heightened, the storyteller coughed and continued: "To talk about this, we have to talk about Li Xiuping, who is now famous all over the world."
This came back to Li Xiuping, and everyone couldn't help but frown again.
Before these people could speak, the storyteller continued: "It is rumored that the Penglai Immortal Boat suddenly collapsed and became the Penglai Continent today. This has a lot to do with our Mr. Li. After the Penglai Immortal Boat collapsed, there were many things left in it. There are many auras from the ancient times, and the Demon Clan is naturally one of them. This is why the initial rumors were that it was the Demon Clan. However, the truth has not been clear yet. Penglaizhou occupies a large territory of the Siren Clan, so the Sea Monster Clan has The demons have launched a war against humans."
After hearing this, many people understood instantly. Only Li Xiuping frowned slightly, thinking about something.
If this is really what the storyteller said, then the Monster Clan would never attach such importance to them, so much so that they would directly recall their senior sister and Miss Xiaohong, or at most let them go to the East China Sea to investigate the situation. What's more, on Penglai Continent, there are still major forces staying behind, and there are even many strong people in the tribulation stage. It is impossible for this kind of thing to be spread, but they have already appeared to speak out.
Li Xiuping looked at the storyteller, but the storyteller didn't notice Li Xiuping's eyes and continued to talk.
Li Xiuping looked at the monks again, and suddenly felt bitter in his heart.
When the storyteller said this, it seemed that he, Li Xiuping, had become the culprit, and all the problems seemed to be caused by him.
If he really enters Emperor Wu City like this, and if everyone thinks so, then it will really not be a good thing for Li Xiuping.
Of course, this storyteller cannot be blamed for this. He must not have been the first to hear this statement, but he heard it from elsewhere, and whether it was a demon or a sea monster, it was indeed because of the Penglai Immortal. It was because of him that the Penglai Immortal Boat collapsed.
It seems that he will have to keep a low profile from now on. It is better not to expose his whereabouts and identity.
Li Xiuping lowered his voice and asked, "Senior, do you think what he said is true?"
Master Qingming shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. We still have to wait until we get to Emperor Wu City to know the details."
Li Xiuping nodded, still eating and listening.
As he listened, Li Xiuping became interested again, because the storyteller actually mentioned something that he urgently needed now, a kind of accompanying crystal of monster beasts, which was the material needed to cast the fairy sword.
This thing is no less rare than the Immortal Origin Stone, which is why layman Qingming failed to find it after spending three months.
Li Xiuping and layman Qing Ming almost all looked at the storyteller, only to see that the guy was still talking endlessly, knowing all the strange things, grievances and grievances of immortals, and the embarrassing stories of famous people.
Regarding the matter of the accompanying crystal, the storyteller just mentioned it casually, and then moved on to other things, but he did mention a sect.
After the storyteller talked for a while, he seemed a little tired and said, "I won't talk any more. My mouth is dry and I don't have a glass of wine to drink."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "If you don't mind it, old gentleman, I would be willing to treat you to a few drinks."
The storyteller laughed and said, "Thank you so much, little brother."
With that said, he walked towards Li Xiuping's table, patted his sleeves and sat down.
Li Xiuping poured him a glass of wine, and then asked: "Is it true what Mr. Sir said before about the companion crystal?"
The storyteller was stunned, looked at Li Xiuping, and asked, "Young Master, are you interested in that thing?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said nothing.
The storyteller looked at Li Xiuping and nodded, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he said with a smile: "Master, if you want to know the specific situation, I'm afraid it's not sincere to just invite you for a drink."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "As long as what you say is true, everything is easy to say."
The storyteller smiled and said: "It seems that the young master really needs that thing."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "It is indeed necessary."
The storyteller said: "Then I can trust you, Master."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the drink and drank it all, put down the glass and said: "This happened about three months ago. The head of Wufeng Mountain happened to encounter the birth of a spiritual beast, so he got this companion crystal. If you need it, Master , it should still be there now."
Li Xiuping asked: "How far? Also, what kind of power is Wufeng Mountain, and who is in charge?"
The storyteller smiled and said: "As long as you have money, it's fine, the rest is not important."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Then he asked: "Senior, what kind of reward do you want?"
The storyteller smiled and said, "I'm a rather vulgar person, so just give me money."
He quickly added: "Of course, not ordinary money, but spiritual stones."
Li Xiuping frowned slightly, not quite understanding what an ordinary person would do with a spiritual stone, but still asked: "How much?"
The storyteller held out a finger and said, "One is enough."
Li Xiuping was stunned again, then took out a spirit stone, put it on the table and said, "Sir's news is indeed worth a spirit stone."
The storyteller smiled and said: "That's natural. Children are innocent, old men walk around the world, and they never take advantage of others."
Li Xiuping took out some more coins and put them on the table to use as meal money. Then he stood up and saluted, "Goodbye now. See you later."
But the storyteller raised his head and asked: "Master, are you going to Emperor Wu's City in the future?"
Li Xiuping was stunned again, then nodded.
The storyteller then said: "Then it would be best for the young master to go south."
Li Xiuping frowned slightly, but did not ask why. He saluted again and said, "Thank you sir for your advice."
The storyteller smiled slightly, put away the spiritual stones on the table, stood up and said, "I have eaten and drank enough, and I have to work hard for a living."
After Li Xiuping and Master Qingming left the restaurant, they followed the direction given by the storyteller and headed towards Wufeng Mountain.
Wufeng Mountain happened to be in the south, so there was no need to enter the boundaries of Emperor Wu City, and the storyteller also reminded Li Xiuping to go south, which was just right, and there was no need to make any detours.
After leaving the city, Li Xiuping said: "I still think that storyteller is not an ordinary person."
The layman Qingming was stunned and said: "It really doesn't look like it. It's at least beyond the tribulation stage."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Just do what he said first. At least he doesn't have any ill intentions."
layman Qingming nodded.
Li Xiuping then asked: "How much do seniors know about Wufeng Mountain?"
The layman Qingming shook his head and said: "I haven't had much contact with it. This is the first time I have heard of such a sect. However, if you can get the companion crystal, you must at least be a Nascent Soul monk. After all, ordinary spiritual beasts and monsters will not be born. Companion crystal.”
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "We are going to buy, not to rob."
Qingming layman said: "If the other party doesn't sell it, don't you want it?"
Li Xiuping was stunned and said, "I think he should be able to sell it."
layman Qingming smiled slightly, and Li Xiuping also smiled slightly.
The two of them did not wield the sword directly, but walked to Wufeng Mountain. Firstly, they wanted to avoid attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble. Secondly, Wufeng Mountain was actually not that far away from here. Even if it was not possible, it would take four or five days. Arrive.
As he continued to get closer to Wufeng Mountain, Li Xiuping found that there were many people who were going to Wufeng Mountain just like them. It seemed that Wufeng Mountain would come up with some spiritual boats this time to recruit monks who were willing to stand up to resist the sea monster. Send it to Emperor Wu City.
In other words, Wufeng Mountain should be rushing to Emperor Wu City soon.
In this way, Li Xiuping couldn't help but think of the storyteller's words, saying that if he rushed to Wufeng Mountain now, he could still catch up.
Before, Li Xiuping thought it was because Wufeng Mountain hadn't sold the accompanying crystal yet, but now it seemed that it was because Wufeng Mountain was going to Emperor Wu City soon.
Everything is really under the control of the storyteller. If such a person were just an ordinary person, Li Xiuping would not believe anything he said.
At this moment, a team was resting by the road. After seeing Li Xiuping and two people walking up, one person shouted: "You two are also going to Wufeng Mountain?"
Li Xiu Ping originally didn't want to have anything to do with these people. At this moment, when people asked for directions, he couldn't pretend not to hear, so he stopped, nodded and said, "Yes."
The person who asked the question said: "You two don't know yet, the road ahead is not smooth."
Li Xiuping asked: "Oh? What should I say?"
The man said: "Originally, there was nothing before, but I heard that Lord Li of Wufeng Mountain had offended a spirit beast for some reason not long ago. The spirit beast came to knock on the door, but could not go up to Wufeng Mountain and would not leave. Stay outside Wufeng Mountain, anyone who wants to go to Wufeng Mountain will be attacked."
Li Xiuping looked at layman Qingming.
He was really right. To be able to do this, one must at least be a spirit beast in the Nascent Soul stage, and maybe even a spirit beast in the Transformation stage.
Li Xiuping looked at the resting monks and couldn't help but frown again.
Most of these people are foundation-building monks, and there are not many golden elixir-level monks. If that is the case, then it will be really difficult for these people to go to Wufeng Mountain.
Li Xiuping quickly understood that it seemed that these people wanted to find more helpers to strengthen their team so that they could deal with the spiritual beast. Of course, there is definitely no hope of winning, just so that we can have the power to compete when the time comes and have a chance to go to Wufeng Mountain.
Moreover, Li Xiuping felt that Wufeng Mountain should also send someone to respond. After all, the invitation was sent by Wufeng Mountain, and Wufeng Mountain would definitely make some preparations.
Li Xiuping then asked: "What is the realm of the spiritual beast?"
The man replied: "I heard it's the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Xiuping nodded without showing any unnecessary expression.
It's just the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they are in the Transformation stage or even the distraction stage, they can go to Wufeng Mountain, so naturally they don't have to worry about it.
The man continued: "Spiritual beasts or demonic beasts are difficult to deal with after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise Wufeng Mountain would not be able to do anything about it. If you two don't dislike it, we can go together and have more. Take care of.”
Master Qingming looked at Li Xiuping and said it was up to Li Xiuping to decide.
Li Xiuping did not agree or refuse, but asked: "Then when will you leave?"
The man glanced at the monks around him, as if weighing, and then said, "Just wait for a few more people. It shouldn't take long."
Li Xiuping also glanced at the monks, then looked in the direction of Wufeng Mountain, and asked, "When will Wufeng Mountain leave?"
The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect that these two people didn't know, but he still replied: "There are still five days."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Then just wait."
Seeing that Li Xiuping seemed a little unhappy, the man frowned slightly.
At this time, a foundation-building monk said: "You still look reluctant. Do you think you can deal with that spiritual beast just by the two of you?"
Li Xiuping just glanced at him and didn't answer. He didn't even bother to answer. He walked directly to the shade of a tree and sat down on the ground.
The layman Qingming also walked up with a smile, but he did not sit down directly, but just stood there.
Seeing that Li Xiuping didn't pay attention to him, the foundation-building monk was a little embarrassed and snorted: "You really don't know the heights of the sky, you are a frog in the well."
At this time, a female cultivator said with a smile: "Brother, why should you vent your anger on such a person? It's not worth it."
You, a monk in the foundation-building stage, smiled slightly and replied: "Junior sister is right. Anyway, when you encounter that spiritual beast, you will have to suffer for it."
The influence of Wufeng Mountain in this area should be quite large, or the determination of these sect disciples to gain fame is not small. There are indeed many people rushing towards Wufeng Mountain, so Li Xiuping and others did not wait long. , many more people soon came, and the number of people in the team almost doubled. Including the previous ones, there were almost twenty Golden Core Stage monks.
Seeing so many people, everyone felt confident that they could compete with the spiritual beast, so the team continued southward, intending to reach Wufeng Mountain before dark.
In this way, Li Xiuping and the two were also wrapped up in this mighty team, heading towards Wufeng Mountain.
They walked forward like this for a long time without encountering the so-called spiritual beast. Wufeng Mountain was getting closer and closer, and everyone began to relax.
One person smiled and said: "It seems that we are lucky and did not encounter that spiritual beast."
As soon as these words came out, many people relaxed completely.
Li Xiuping looked ahead and said casually: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
layman Qingming also nodded.
Both he and Li Xiuping had actually felt the presence in front of them.
From here, there is a stream, and that breath comes from that stream, and it is definitely not at the Nascent Soul stage, at least it is at the Divine Transformation stage.
It is not easy to deal with a spirit beast in the God Transformation stage, but this also proves that there is at least one strong person in the God Transformation stage in Wufeng Mountain. Otherwise, this spirit beast would not have made such a trick and hid under the mountain to disgust Wufeng Mountain. Just kill Wufeng Mountain.
Even if a spirit beast in the divine transformation stage cannot compete with the monks in the distraction stage, it can rarely find an opponent in the divine transformation stage. However, such a being can only choose to hide outside Wufeng Mountain, and has Wufeng Mountain come forward to drive it away? , which means that at most there are only those in the God Transformation stage on the Wufeng Mountain side, because relying on the formation of Wufeng Mountain, they can compete with this spiritual beast, but once they leave Wufeng Mountain, they will no longer be the opponent of this spiritual beast. That's why the current situation arises.
This place is still some distance from the stream, so most people cannot feel it. Li Xiuping and Master Qingming can feel it. In addition to their stronger perception ability than others, the main reason is that it is a spiritual beast, not a human monk.
Regardless of whether they are spirit beasts or monster beasts, they generally do not hide their aura deliberately, or most spirit beasts and monster beasts do not know how to hide their aura at all. This is why spirit beasts and monster beasts can be easily detected once they appear. Reasons captured by human monks.
Of course, the strength of spiritual beasts or demonic beasts that can be captured by human monks is generally not too low, so even if some monks capture the aura of spiritual beasts or demonic beasts, they often use these demonic beasts or spiritual beasts. There is nothing you can do, and you may even risk your own life. Therefore, when ordinary monks encounter such spiritual beasts or monsters, they will choose to avoid them and try not to conflict with them.
Li Xiu Ping was just communicating normally with Master Qing Ming, but he didn’t expect that the Foundation Establishment Stage monk in the team had been staring at Li Xiuping. At this moment, he said in a weird voice: "Even the seniors at the peak of the Golden Core stage said it is no problem. You are a Foundation Establishment stage monk." Is it possible that monks are more powerful than those at the Golden Core Stage?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar from the front, and then the water in the entire stream rose directly into the sky...
