After the Immortal Sword was named and controlled by Li Xiuping, and so many strong men had died before, the remaining people no longer had the idea of continuing to snatch it, so they no longer took action, but retreated one after another to distance themselves.
Feeling the changes in those strong men, layman Qingming and the blue water unicorn also breathed a sigh of relief, and then approached Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping directly rode on the back of the blue water unicorn and headed east without saying anything extra or doing anything extra.
Although the fairy sword has been successfully forged, his current situation is not good, and there are strong people continuing to approach here. Now it has only temporarily shocked those people, and there is no guarantee that these guys will not take action again.
At this time, only by going directly east to Emperor Wu City can we ensure maximum safety.
Now that the first fairy sword has been successfully forged, all forces will inevitably appear on the scene, and as long as all parties show their attitude one after another, his influence will be gradually improved, and his safety will be guaranteed.
Master Qingming followed Li Xiuping and asked, "Boy, what are your plans next?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "We still don't know the attitude of all the forces. Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower have not shown up yet. Only by confirming the attitude of all the forces can we make any plans."
Master Qingming nodded and said: "That's all we can do for the time being, but you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't meet a strong person above the integration stage, I can guarantee your safety."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "If we can meet a strong person in the integration stage casually, then our luck will be too bad."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them frowned almost at the same time and stopped at the same time.
"Huoling Zhenren" also stopped at this time and frowned: "What's wrong?"
Before Li Xiuping and Master Qingming could answer, the air in front suddenly fluctuated violently, and then a figure appeared out of thin air, wearing a Taoist robe, constantly releasing powerful auras, trying to intimidate Li Xiuping and others with coercion. .
"snort!"
The layman Qingming made a cold sound, and released his majestic sword intent instantly, covering Li Xiuping and others, isolating the pressure of this person's release.
Li Xiuping frowned slightly, feeling bitter in his heart.
We just talked about the integration period, and it's here.
"Taixu, what do you mean?" layman Qingming asked in a deep voice with a gloomy face.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The person who came turned out to be Taoist Taixu, one of the eight sages.
Taoist Taixu, like Master Huo Ling, both belong to the Taoist sect, so I am afraid that the person who comes here is not good. Moreover, Taoist Taixu is more difficult to deal with than Master Huo Ling.
Although the lover and the two are both strong men in the integration stage, Master Huo Ling is alone, and there is a lot of power behind Taoist Taixu. This should be the reason why Master Qingming is sitting so solemnly.
However, there is a very interesting thing in the world of spiritual practice. The Seven Sages, Eight Sages and Nine Sects, whether it is the Seven Sages or the Nine Sects, are sects that have been passed down for a long time and have extremely profound foundations. Only these Eight Sages are not based on the strength of their power. The distinction is determined by personal achievement.
Therefore, most of the Eight Sages are alone. Although some have established sects through their own influence, their heritage is far inferior to that of the Nine Sects. This makes the situation of the Eight Sages in the practice world a bit embarrassing. It is precisely because In this way, although most of the Eight Sages have the conditions to establish a sect, they still choose to be alone.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that most of the Eight Sages are casual cultivators and are used to living alone. Many of them even broke away from the sect and do not like the shackles of the sect at all. Naturally, they do not like it. He will create a sect to restrain himself.
This means that although Taoist Taixu has forces behind him, as long as he can be dealt with, the forces behind him will hardly pose a threat. The problem is how to deal with Taoist Taixu.
Based on Li Xiuping's current situation, even if he joins forces with Master Qingming, he cannot threaten a strong man in the integration stage. It is even difficult to get rid of Taoist Taixu. Once Taoist Taixu uses the power behind him, it will be difficult to get rid of him. , they will have no chance of winning.
Taoist Taixu actually put away his breath at this time, looked at Li Xiuping with his eyes, and said with a smile: "I originally thought that Mr. Ou Ye was already great, but I didn't expect Mr. Li to be even more outstanding. At such a young age, If you can forge an immortal sword, your future achievements will surely be limitless."
Li Xiuping didn't know what Taoist Taixu's attitude was, so he smiled and said, "Senior, you are so complimentary."
Taoist Taixu glanced at "Master Huo Ling", then his eyes fell on Master Qingming, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingming, don't be nervous, I don't have any ill intentions here, I just want to meet Master Li. , by the way, see if Mr. Li needs any help."
Master Qingming looked at Li Xiuping, and Li Xiuping also looked at him. Both of them were a little confused.
As for whether he could trust Taoist Taixu, Li Xiuping could only get the answer from Master Qingming. After all, he was not familiar with Taoist Taixu. Master Qingming looked at Li Xiuping, wanting to see what Li Xiuping's attitude was towards Taoist Taixu.
Taoist Taixu continued: "Besides, I don't want to become the next Huoling Zhenren."
When he said this, he looked at the "Huo Ling Zhenren" with a meaningful smile. Obviously, he could tell that the "Huo Ling Zhenren" in front of him was not the real Huo Ling Zhenren.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "I don't treat everyone the same as I treat Master Huo Ling."
Taoist Taixu looked at layman Qingming and said with a smile, "I can tell."
He then asked: "Master Li, are you going to Emperor Wu City?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
Taoist Taixu said with a smile: "Master Li's reputation in Emperor Wu City is not very good now."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
Taixu Taoist continued: "Because of the matter of the Penglai Immortal Boat, everyone in the mountains and below has inexplicably passed the responsibility to Mr. Li. Therefore, Mr. Li is afraid that there will be a lot of trouble if he enters Emperor Wu City at this moment, and Taiyi Pavilion and The Star Observation Tower is now in Emperor Wu City."
Li Xiuping nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for informing me, senior, but I need to go to Emperor Wu City for some important matters. Even if everyone in the world has an opinion against me, how many people dare to take action now? As for Taiyi Pavilion and Guan Guan Star Tower, with the city lord of Emperor Wu City present, they don’t dare to be too blatant.”
Taoist Taixu nodded and said: "That's true."
He then said with a smile: "After arriving at Emperor Wu City, Master Li can come to Pindao at any time if he needs it. It's hard to say anything else. Food and wine can definitely be guaranteed."
Li Xiuping saluted, "Then, this junior will thank the senior first."
Taoist Taixu waved his hand and said, "In that case, I will not delay Young Master Li."
After saying that, he bowed to Li Xiuping and Master Qingming and left, ignoring the "Master Huo Ling".
Li Xiuping felt a little baffled. After Taoist Taixu left, he asked, "Senior, what do you think?"
Qing Ming layman shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but since he didn't take action directly before, the possibility of doing it again will be much lower. After all, now that you have successfully forged the fairy sword, as time continues, your influence will become greater and greater." The bigger it gets, the greater the pressure will be to take action in the future.”
Li Xiuping nodded, and then said: "Let's go, hurry up first."
After that, he continued on his way towards Emperor Wu City in the east. At this time, Li Xiuping had entered the territory of Emperor Wu City. As for whether Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower would continue to attack him next, he was not sure.
However, Taoist Taixu's appearance this time brought some news to Li Xiuping, such as the current situation of Emperor Wu City and the whereabouts of Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower.
It is really a big trouble that many people put the responsibility of the Kraken on themselves, and this may become an excuse for Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower to attack them.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuping even wondered if this was a deliberate arrangement by Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower, just to push Li Xiuping to the opposite side of human beings after he entered Wu Emperor City, and then let the entire human race deal with him.
Coupled with Li Xiuping's previous relationship with the demon clan, the chance of success of this method is actually not small.
As the saying goes, people's words are feared, and their words are worth their weight in gold. This is the truth. Even if someone stands up for him, even with the intimidation of the senior Jiuxian, I am afraid it will not be as good as this racial grudge.
In the history of mankind, excluding dissidents has always been an enduring topic.
However, neither Taiyi Pavilion nor Star Observation Tower expected that he could successfully forge the first fairy sword so quickly, and as the news spread, some people's opinions should be resolved.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Although it is normal for human beings to exclude dissidents, it is also normal for people to put their interests first. If you can bring greater benefits to these people, then the so-called weight of public opinion can only be lowered.
If he could forge the immortal sword and then refine the elixir, no one would care about this so-called responsibility anymore. If the immortal sword and elixir he forged could bring tangible benefits to others, then even if they were to turn against Taiyi The pavilion and star-gazing tower are also commonplace.
Now we are attacking him from a racial standpoint, just because this kind of attack can make them appear righteous and make them seem to represent the entire human race. But in fact, this is only the case for most people. Once this so-called If their "justice" is closely related to their own interests, it will become a personal matter, thus revealing the selfish side of human nature.
People are selfish, especially those who cultivate immortality.
Furthermore, once the immortal swords he forged and the elixirs he refined were used to fight against sea monsters or demons, then those previous statements would be self-defeating. He, Li Xiuping, was the one who made the most powerful moves against aliens. The person who contributes the most.
Therefore, Li Xiuping thought that maybe he could try to refine the first elixir, which could not only change some of the current situation, but also ensure his own safety. After all, the Qingming layman now needed a fusion elixir. Soul Pill to break through, and once he breaks through to the integration stage, his strength will be greatly improved. Even if Star Observation Tower and Taiyi Pavilion join forces, as long as there are no saints involved, it will be difficult to threaten his life safety.
This can be seen from the senior sword master in the sword-washing pool.
Although the senior swordsman was only in the combined stage, he was able to defeat the joint pursuit of so many strong men from Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower with one sword. If Qingming layman also broke through to the combined stage, even if he could not do it, The senior sword master's level must not be much different...
At this time, the layman Qingming said: "One thing is very strange. If everything is related to Penglai Continent, why choose Emperor Wu City? Although Emperor Wu City is close to the East China Sea, it is quite far away from Penglai Continent."
Li Xiuping was stunned. He had never thought about this question, so he asked, "Senior, what do you think?"
Master Qingming shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet, but I'm afraid this matter is not just as simple as the sea monster."
Li Xiuping asked: "Demons?"
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "In fact, there are not many records about the demon clan, let alone understanding. People at our level can only hear about it from some rumors. If we want to truly understand, I am afraid that only the seven major In the Holy Land, only sects with long inheritance like Sanshan have records."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "Originally, I didn't care much about the demon clan, but because of the secret method used by Master Huo Ling, I can be sure that the demon clan does exist, and there are already some action."
Having said this, he looked at Li Xiuping and then explained: "The news about the demons coming out of Emperor Wu City was by no means groundless, nor was it just because of the demonic remnants that appeared after the Penglai Immortal Boat collapsed, because Huoling Zhenren was absolutely It’s not a secret method of the demons that was recently practiced, it’s just that it hasn’t been used before, so no one knows about it.”
Li Xiuping said at this time: "So senior feels that it is not a coincidence that first the news about the demons spread, and then Master Huo Ling used the secret method of the demons that has never been used before. There must be some connection between them?"
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "I'm afraid we have to contact the Seven Holy Lands or Emperor Wu City to find out the details."
Li Xiuping nodded and fell into thought.
When Master Qingming said this, Li Xiuping suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple, which caused a lot of doubts in his heart.
In fact, as long as he can unravel the inheritance he received from the ruins of the ancient battlefield, the truth about these doubts will be revealed. After all, when he dealt with Master Huo Ling before, his other self obviously knew how to deal with the secrets of the demons, so you will naturally know. The existence of the demons, then as long as the inheritance is unlocked, a lot of information related to the demons will naturally be unlocked.
It's a pity that he can't unlock those inheritances now, at least he can't touch those inheritances until his other self wakes up...
The layman Qingming continued: "You don't have to think too much, let alone put too much pressure. Anyway, no matter whether it is really related to the demons or not, there are still seven holy places above, and there are four cities and three mountains watching, so it's not your turn. Let’s worry.”
Li Xiuping nodded, changed the topic, and asked: "If I can refine the soul-melting pill now, will senior be able to enter the integration stage immediately?"
The layman Qingming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "If there is really a soul-melting pill, it will only take a matter of days to enter the integration stage."
Li Xiuping nodded and said nothing.
The layman Qingming asked excitedly: "Are you really sure you can refine the soul-melting pill?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "There is definitely no absolute certainty. Not to mention refining the elixir, or even casting the immortal sword again, there is no absolute certainty. However, you can try. After all, the medicinal materials for refining the elixir are compared with the materials for casting the immortal sword. It’s much easier to find, and even if you fail, you can still bear it.”
Having said that, one of the ingredients for refining the soul-melting pill is actually not easy to find. Otherwise, the other Li Xiuping would not have gone to the Dongyang Sect and almost wiped out the Dongyang Sect.
In other words, if Li Xiuping refines the soul-melting pill for layman Qingming, no matter whether it is successful or not, the medicinal materials snatched by the other Li Xiuping from the Dongyang Sect will also be consumed. Then if another Li Xiuping wants to refine the soul-melting pill, , we can only look for medicinal materials again.
If the soul-melting pill was beneficial to Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping might still hesitate, but since he knew the function of the soul-melting pill, he guessed another Li Xiuping's idea, and naturally he was very repelled by the soul-melting pill. , now that the medicine is being used to refine the soul-melting pill, Li Xiuping not only doesn't feel any distress at all, but is even eager to consume it quickly.
Moreover, once the Soul Melting Pill is refined, its influence will be far greater than that of a fairy sword, because in the entire cultivation world, there must be many people in the same situation as Master Qingming, and they are all waiting for the Soul Melting Pill to make a breakthrough.
By that time, he, Li Xiuping, will have the elixir that can break through the realm of cultivation. I don’t know how many people will be vying to come to him, Li Xiuping, to refine it.
And once he helps these people successfully break through, then these people will owe him Li Xiuping a huge favor. If nothing else, at least they will not refuse Li Xiuping's request as long as they can fulfill it.
Therefore, the advantage of refining the soul-melting pill is not only that the layman Qingming can reach the integration stage, thereby ensuring his safety, but also that it can make him a very important figure in the entire cultivation world, and become a person who must be fawned over and protected by countless people. Good presence.
With such influence, what medicinal materials cannot be obtained?
After all, although that medicine is hard to find, even sects like the Dongyang Sect can possess it, let alone those sects with longer inheritance. And even if it is not available, those people will probably try their best to achieve a breakthrough. I will also get it for Li Xiuping.
When the time comes, getting similar medicinal materials is not a matter of just a word from him, Li Xiuping?
Master Qingming still couldn't restrain his excitement. That was a problem that had troubled him for thousands of years. Now that it could be solved, no matter how good-hearted he was, it would be hard not to be excited.
"What medicinal materials are still missing now? Also, when do you plan to refine it?"
The layman Qingming stopped immediately and asked.
Li Xiuping said: "The required medicinal materials are basically all available, and the rest can be obtained anywhere. As for time..."
