Knowing the purpose of these two saints, Li Xiuping seemed to have caught something suddenly, and he seemed a little excited.
Now it is basically certain that the threat of demons is real, and it seems that the seven holy places alone cannot deal with it, so after he kills the real person Huo Ling, Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain will come to him. In order to find a way to deal with the demons.
In other words, if Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower had not had a grudge against Li Xiuping, it might not only be Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City, but also Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower.
In other words, I may be able to use this matter as a life-saving talisman. As long as I don't hand over the method of dealing with the demons, then the seven holy places and even the four major cities may need my help. Then I can use this to protect myself. The incident caused various forces to put pressure on Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower, forcing the two families to temporarily refrain from taking action against them.
The two saints seemed to know what Li Xiuping was thinking. The saint from Piaoxue City smiled and said: "Young Master Li may not know how big a threat the demons pose to the human world. If Mr. Li really has a way to deal with the demons, Not to mention the Seven Holy Lands, even the Three Mountains will do their best to ensure Mr. Li's safety, provided that Mr. Li really has a way to deal with the demons."
At this time, the saint from Xianglu Mountain also spoke: "To be honest, according to the information our two families have, Kunlun Mountain has given an order to Taiyi Pavilion, so Taiyi Pavilion will not take action against Donor Li now."
Li Xiuping really didn't expect that incident would have such a big impact, so much so that even Kunlun Mountain would come forward and give orders to Taiyi.
Li Xiuping asked directly: "What about the Star Observation Tower?"
The saint from Xianglu Mountain shook his head, but it was the saint from Piaoxue City who said: "The attitude of Taiyi Pavilion is not clear yet, but with the current situation, even Taiyi Pavilion and Star Observation Tower together cannot threaten Li Young Master, let alone only one star observation tower."
Li Xiuping nodded, and then said: "I do have a way to deal with the demons, but it involves the inheritance I received at the ancient battlefield ruins. Because in the previous battle with Huoling Zhenren, my body was severely injured, which caused the inheritance There have been some problems and it will take some time to recover.”
After hearing what Li Xiuping said, the two saints frowned and stared at Li Xiuping, as if they wanted to see if Li Xiuping was lying.
Li Xiuping continued: "Before that, I need to refine a soul-melting pill to help senior Qingming break through. After that, I will enter the Emperor Wu City with the two seniors. At that time, I will tell all the seniors what I know."
Hearing this, the two saints were startled at the same time.
Soul Fusion Pill?
Of course they know what the soul-melting pill means. If Li Xiuping can really refine the soul-melting pill, it will change the situation of the entire cultivation world in a short period of time. In a short period of time, the entire cultivation world will have countless more integration periods. Strong.
The sudden emergence of so many combined-stage strong men in the world of human cultivation will greatly increase the chances of winning whether they are dealing with monsters or demons.
And when that time comes, the importance of Li Xiuping to the entire cultivation world will be self-evident. Not to mention that he knows how to deal with demons, even if he doesn't know, the entire human cultivation world will have to protect him.
Being able to forge an immortal sword is already of great significance. If one can refine a soul-melting pill, its significance will be far greater than being able to forge an immortal sword.
Everyone knows that the Soul Fusion Pill is an immortal elixir. This means that in addition to the Soul Fusion Pill, Li Xiuping can also refine other immortal elixirs. These elixirs may not be of much use in normal times, but if they are used by the entire human race When everyone needs to be involved in the battle, these pills will play a major role in reversing the situation.
At this moment, the two saints finally understood what Li Xiuping meant. The damaged inheritance was just an excuse. The purpose was to hope that Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain would ensure his safety for the time being. After he refined the soul-melting pill, Naturally, it doesn't matter whether there is the protection of Xianglu Mountain and Piaoxue City.
The saint from Piaoxue City asked: "I wonder how long Mr. Li will need?"
Li Xiuping thought for a while and said: "It will take three months at most, and one month if it breaks."
The saint from Piaoxue City shook his head and said, "Three months is too long."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Is the situation in Emperor Wu City so serious?"
The two saints looked at each other, then nodded and said: "Now we can barely suppress it with the cooperation of powerful people from all sides, but if we can't find a solution, it will definitely be a huge disaster."
Li Xiuping asked: "Demons?"
The two saints nodded at the same time and said: "The so-called attack by another clan is actually just to deceive others and is the result of the joint discussion of the three mountains."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "I don't understand very well, why should I hide it, and who should I hide it from? It can't be these common people, right?"
The saint from Piaoxue City smiled and asked: "Master Li, do you think there is only one person like Master Huo Ling in the whole world of cultivation?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then understood.
The saint from Piaoxue City continued: "Although human beings are a community, there are still differences between men and women, there are also divisions between mountains and downhills, there are also sects, three religions and nine streams, and everyone has different beliefs. Some believe in Taoist ancestors, some believe in Buddha, and more importantly, there are countless gods, so naturally there are also people who believe in the so-called demon gods. The so-called nine gates, eight sages, seven saints, four cities, and three mountains are actually just forces on the surface, but they can secretly fight against them. There are many countervailing forces, and once they get wind of it, they will definitely take action, and the situation on the entire rooftop will become even more difficult."
Speaking of this, he said bitterly: "Actually, the situation is not very good now. Although it is calm now, in fact, there has been an undercurrent surging for a long time. In this Emperor Wu City, there are many powerful people who are watching eagerly."
Li Xiuping nodded. He really didn't expect the situation in Emperor Wu City to be so complicated. It was a hundred times more complicated than he imagined.
Li Xiuping asked: "What's going on in the Sword Washing Pond and Guanchao Academy now?"
The saint from Piaoxue City smiled and said: "It won't be long before we arrive at Martial Emperor City. You will know then. When the four families meet together, trouble will inevitably arise."
At this point, he said "hey" and said: "The city lord of Emperor Wu City is really not easy at all."
The saint from Xianglu Mountain put his hands together and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Amitabha!"
The saint from Piaoxue City smiled and said, "That's the truth."
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuping and said seriously: "Two months at most, and this is already the limit."
Li Xiuping thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, in two months, regardless of success or failure, the junior will enter the Emperor Wu City together with the two seniors."
The two saints nodded and said, "Then find a place and we will protect you."
Not to mention Li Xiuping, even the layman Qingming was stunned. Even the "Huo Ling Zhenren" and the blue water unicorn were a little stunned.
The two saints actually protected Li Xiuping.
It was okay for "Master Huo Ling". After all, he had followed Li Xiuping for so long and knew Li Xiuping quite well. However, the blue water unicorn was extremely shocked in his heart at this moment.
He is just a monk at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Whether he is placed in the world of human cultivation or the demon clan, he is as insignificant as an ant. To say that there is a strong man in the Distraction Stage guarding him is barely justified. Now, even the two powerful men in the Tribulation Stage have taken the initiative to show their goodwill to him, and even help him protect the law. The key is that these two powerful men in the Tribulation Stage come from Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain in the Seven Holy Lands, and are some of the top existences in the world.
It previously felt that it had wronged itself by following Li Xiuping, but now it suddenly felt as if it had found a treasure. Meeting such a guy might be its own luck and destiny, and its future practice might also be because of this guy. Get a huge change.
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Then you have to eat your fill first."
The two saints were stunned for a moment, and then looked a little embarrassed. They forgot that Li Xiuping was only in the foundation-building stage, so he couldn't just eat the wind and drink the dew like them.
After eating, everyone left the restaurant together and found a relatively quiet place nearby. They were not as cautious as when they were making swords.
First of all, refining elixirs is not as noisy as forging swords. After all, elixirs themselves are not as offensive as magic weapons, so there is no need to set up formations and the like.
Secondly, there are now two saints protecting the Dharma. Even if there is any movement, no one will dare to come forward when the two saints stand there.
Of course, what is being refined this time is an elixir after all, and there may not be much movement during the refining process, but when the elixir is released, there will inevitably be some strange phenomena in the world. However, Li Xiuping has never refined an elixir before, and he has not even seen it. He has never seen it, so he doesn't know whether there will be any problems.
Li Xiuping first found a place to sit down, then took out the square furnace cauldron, then closed his eyes and went through the recipe for the Soul-melting Pill in his mind, and then took out the medicinal materials needed to refine the Soul-melting Pill one by one. , if you have two copies, take out two copies to avoid errors in the smelting process. If you only have one copy, there is nothing you can do.
After preparing all the medicinal materials, Li Xiuping took out the fire attribute fairy treasure. He did not start refining it directly, but went through the prescription in his mind again to make sure that nothing was missing. After everything was ready, Only then did he activate the fire attribute fairy treasure.
Refining medicine is different from making swords. When making swords, the control of the fire must be relatively violent, while refining elixirs requires the fire to be in a gentle state to avoid directly burning the medicinal materials.
As the flame rose in the alchemy furnace, Li Xiuping began to control the flame. The empty space flame preheated the alchemy furnace, and then put in the first medicinal material.
There is no need to pay too much attention to the materials used in making swords. After all, all the materials used in making swords can withstand the burning of flames, and the longer they are burned, the purer the materials obtained. However, refining medicine is different, and the efficacy of all medicinal materials needs to be combined. Find out which medicinal materials can withstand the calcination of flame for a long time, and which medicinal materials cannot withstand the calcination of flame for a long time, and then sort the medicinal materials to ensure that the weight of all medicinal materials is equal when finally fused.
Moreover, investing in medicinal materials also requires timing. Instead of waiting for the previous medicinal material to be refined before investing in the next medicinal material, a suitable opportunity must be selected to ensure that all the medicinal materials can be refined at the same time and then fused.
Seeing Li Xiuping continuously putting medicinal herbs into the furnace with great skill, the two saints were really looking forward to it.
The soul-melting pill is of little use to them, but it is an elixir after all, or a lost prescription. What would it be like if Li Xiuping really refined it?
On the first day, Li Xiuping put in almost half of the medicinal materials. On the second day, he put in half of the remaining medicinal materials. On the third day, he also put in half of the remaining medicinal materials. It was not until the fifth day that all the medicinal materials were put into the furnace. among.
After all the medicinal materials were put in, Li Xiuping refined them for almost six days. Finally, he finished refining all the medicinal materials. Then he did not take any extra action, but took out some elixirs and drank them, and then took off the pills from his waist. He took a sip from the wine bottle and waited for a while before continuing to combine the refined medicinal materials.
The process of fusing medicinal materials is countless times more difficult than refining it, because at this time it is necessary to accurately grasp the flames and be extremely familiar with the medicinal properties of each medicinal material.
This was Li Xiuping's first time refining the soul-melting pill. It was his first time coming into contact with many medicinal materials, and he really didn't know much about their medicinal properties, which also increased the risk of failure.
It can be seen that refining alchemy is actually more difficult than forging swords. Perhaps it is because of this that alchemists are so precious, and high-level alchemists are even rarer.
Li Xiuping did not dare to be careless. He stared at the cauldron with all his concentration and slowly and carefully blended the medicinal materials. If any problem occurred, he would immediately use his spiritual consciousness to control the flame accurately and make up for the mistake.
As a result, as time continued, Li Xiuping soon became sweating profusely and looked extremely difficult.
Seeing Li Xiuping's state, the saint from Xianglu Mountain asked in a low voice: "Do you think he can really succeed?"
The saint in Piaoxue City did not answer, but said: "Relying on the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage is like refining fairy elixirs. It is still a bit too forced. If this is an accident, the refining failure will be a trivial matter. I'm afraid it will There will also be a lot of backlash.”
The saint from Xianglu Mountain nodded and said, "But he can always surprise people. We can't help him anyway, so we'll just wait and see."
The saint from Piaoxue City nodded, and the two of them changed the topic and continued chatting...
Time passed like this day by day, and half a month passed quickly. During this period, Li Xiuping was struggling to support himself. Many times, he even needed to use the blue water unicorn to help cool down the overheated furnace cauldron. .
Compared with the previous period of refining medicinal materials, Li Xiuping was in a hurry during this period and was simply struggling to support himself.
Li Xiuping himself didn't expect that it would be so difficult to refine the soul-melting pill. It was like fighting a battle. Not only did he have to master every detail change, but he also had to pay close attention to every opportunity change. If it weren't for the fact that he is now Being proficient enough in that fire attribute fairy treasure, if it weren't for the help of the square furnace, if it wasn't for the blue water unicorn, if it wasn't for the willow tree in the body that has recovered a lot, I'm afraid it would have failed long ago.
However, although it was difficult, fortunately, I finally got through it. Now all the medicinal materials have basically been fused. The next step is to continuously refine and refine the fused medicinal materials until they reach the ultimate level, and finally solidify them through flames. Once the Chu Pill is completed, the Soul Melting Pill is almost complete.
At this moment, while controlling the flame, Li Xiuping took out the elixir and swallowed it. Then he took another sip of wine and began to recover the loss in his body. This process alone took three days.
After the damage in his body was almost restored, Li Xiuping continued to focus on the elixir.
Time passed like this day by day, and seeing that one month was coming to an end, the furnace, which had been silent until now, began to react.
First, a strong spiritual energy emerged from the cauldron, and then spread out in all directions.
Wherever this spiritual power passed, the surrounding flowers and plants turned into spring, and many even bloomed on the spot, and the entire valley suddenly bloomed with hundreds of flowers.
Feeling this change, the saint from Piaoxue City smiled and said: "This boy is really capable of creating miracles. I can even train him to do this."
The saint from Xianglu Mountain shook his head and said, "It's still too early to draw conclusions now."
When he said this, he looked at Li Xiuping sitting on the ground, because Li Xiuping was not in a very good condition at the moment, and it seemed difficult to hold on until the elixir was completed.
However, this kind of situation has happened before, but Li Xiuping survived it, so it is too early to draw a conclusion now, whether it is success or failure. No one can be sure of the final result until the last moment. .
As the spiritual power continued to overflow, Li Xiuping made quick movements with his left hand, and then the spiritual power that continued to overflow converged towards Li Xiuping's body, and then Li Xiuping's body was like a huge whirlpool. , constantly absorbing those spiritual powers.
As these spiritual powers were continuously absorbed by Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping's feeling of weakness recovered quickly.
Seeing this scene, both the saint from Piaoxue City and the saint from Xianglu Mountain smiled bitterly.
While refining the elixir, he absorbed the energy spilled from the elixir to restore the body's wear and tear. I am afraid that only Li Xiuping would dare to do this.
In fact, Li Xiuping's ability to do this is related to the willow tree in his body. Because of that willow tree, no matter what kind of energy he absorbs, after passing through that willow tree, it will be converted into energy that is beneficial to Li Xiuping. Can provide supplements to Li Xiuping.
Time is still passing by bit by bit, silently.
The overflowing energy gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.
After all the energy disappeared, an even more powerful energy burst out from the furnace. At the same time, the runes on the furnace flashed, constantly suppressing the elixirs in the furnace.
Li Xiuping quickly formed seals with his hands, and then a powerful soul force burst out directly, impacting Li Xiuping's body.
Impacted by this force, Li Xiuping's face instantly turned pale as paper, and a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot.
Some people died, but not completely...
