This sudden change shocked everyone, and even made their hearts skip a beat.
Li Xiuping let out a cold snort, then forcibly suppressed the changes in his body at this moment, quickly formed seals with his hands, and continuously drove sword intent into the cauldron. His body also quickly turned directly towards the cauldron, so he didn't know how to get around it. It took him many laps with the furnace cauldron to suppress the force.
By this time, Li Xiuping was covered in sweat and breathing heavily.
Everyone looked at Li Xiuping, but no one spoke, as if they were afraid that if they spoke, they would cause huge harm to Li Xiuping.
After all, the weakest "Huoling Zhenren" also has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, so he can see Li Xiuping's current situation at a glance. It is no different from the candle in the wind, and it may be extinguished at any time.
Li Xiuping stood there for a while, then breathed out gently, took off the wine bottle from his waist with some difficulty and took a sip, and then his face slowly regained some color.
Li Xiuping raised his eyes and looked at the cauldron in front of him, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
It is indeed an immortal elixir that can fuse the soul. The previous impact of the power on the soul almost destroyed his soul. If it weren't for the willow tree that had recovered a lot and dissolved most of the power for him, He is probably a dead man now.
But the most difficult step can be regarded as overcoming. As long as there are no more accidents, this elixir should be completed.
In fact, he doesn't need to do anything more next. He only needs to control the flame, and then everything will be left to time.
After taking a breath, Li Xiuping sat down cross-legged again, carefully controlling the flames in the furnace, and the entire valley became quiet again.
However, the previous commotion was not small, and it soon attracted many strong men, including strong human beings and fierce beasts in the mountains. However, because of the presence of the two saints, both those monster beasts and those strong men only dared to Watch from a distance, not daring to get too close.
Thirty-six days have passed very quickly, and during these thirty-six days, Li Xiuping has lost a lot of weight except for occasionally taking a short break, that is, drinking some wine and taking some pills. Having suffered a shock before, he was really haggard to the extreme, and it made people feel distressed just to look at him.
The Qingming layman even felt a little guilty, because this soul-melting pill was refined for him. Although it could also bring huge benefits to Li Xiuping, it was the same, this heart, this kindness, He still had to bear it.
At this time, Li Xiuping directly removed all the flames, and then the green water unicorn opened its mouth and sprayed cold air on the furnace cauldron. White mist instantly filled the entire valley.
This continued for a while, and the mist began to gradually dissipate, and then the spiritual energy between heaven and earth continued to gather. The next moment, the square furnace cauldron directly formed a huge spiritual energy vortex, continuously sucking the spiritual energy into it.
As time continued, a golden beam of light appeared from the cauldron, then rose directly into the sky, straight into the sky.
Above the sky, the clouds surged, and thunder and lightning continued to gather, and then crashed down directly.
In the golden beam of light, a green pill slowly rose into the sky.
The first lightning bolt fell directly and hit the pill. The extremely violent thunder and lightning failed to destroy the pill, but left a mark on the pill.
"Crack!"
Another thunderbolt fell, and it still directly bombarded the elixir, and still formed a mark on the elixir.
In this way, nine thunder and lightning kept falling, and nine marks also appeared on the pill.
After the nine thunderbolts fell, the thunder clouds dissipated, and the golden light pillar also disappeared, followed by the elixir exuding a gleaming brilliance.
Li Xiuping said directly: "Senior."
The layman Qingming nodded and rushed directly towards the pill.
At this time, as if it sensed danger, the elixir turned into a stream of light and was about to escape, but it quickly hit a barrier.
The saint from Piaoxue City and the saint from Xianglu Mountain took action almost at the same time, directly restricting the movement of the elixir.
The layman Qingming caught up with the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp.
After swallowing the elixir, layman Qingming's body suddenly trembled, and then his whole body fell straight down, hitting the ground with a "boom", the ground shook, and dust flew up.
Seeing this change, everyone frowned again, including Li Xiuping.
Is there something wrong with this elixir?
Li Xiuping suddenly felt worried, but he completely followed the prescription to refine the elixir. Although there were some changes during the process, the elixir was successfully refined in the end, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The saint from Piaoxue City and the saint from Xianglu Mountain also frowned. They didn't know if this situation was normal. After all, they had never seen a strong person in the distraction stage take the soul-melting pill to advance. It was really because of the soul-melting pill. This thing is so rare that it is difficult to see one even for hundreds or thousands of years. Therefore, even they don't know what kind of situation will occur after taking the soul-melting pill.
Although this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, after all, they do not need the soul-melting pill to advance, so naturally they will not pay too much attention to similar things.
Who would waste time paying too much attention to something that has nothing to do with them, let alone understand it carefully.
On the ground, the place where Master Qingming landed suddenly exploded, so that Li Xiuping could only ride on the blue water unicorn and leave temporarily.
Streams of violent energy continued to attack the surroundings, and then a long sword rose directly into the sky, and then fell straight down with the majestic sword intent, landing at the place where the Qingming layman had landed before, as if he wanted to kill something. .
Li Xiuping came to the two saints, squinting his eyes and looking worried.
The saint from Piaoxue City said, "Don't worry, he's fine."
Although the entire valley is now filled with dust and it is impossible to see the situation clearly, the two saints are strong men in the tribulation stage after all, so they can naturally feel the situation below clearly through the dust.
As the sword fell, the violent force that kept attacking quickly subsided.
Without the impact of that violent force, the dust that filled the valley gradually fell, and the appearance of the valley gradually appeared in people's eyes.
There is actually a sword stuck in the body of the layman Qingming, his own sword!
The saint from Piaoxue City frowned and said, "So cruel."
The saint from Xianglu Mountain said: "After all, it is not a normal promotion. It is normal for some special circumstances to occur."
The next moment, the sea of clouds surged in the sky again, and then a series of tribulation thunders continued to gather.
Everyone looked up at the same time, and the strong man from Piaoxue City said: "It seems it's done."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light suddenly fell down and completely enveloped the layman Qingming.
As the beam of light fell, a bolt of thunder also fell, and it hit the long sword on the body of the layman Qingming. The robe on the body of the layman Qingming exploded instantly!
As this thunder and lightning fell, Master Qingming's body slowly floated into the air. The sword intent on his body continued to surge, and the long sword inserted into him began to shake violently. Finally, before the second thunderstorm fell, , left his body directly and headed towards the second lightning strike.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the long sword directly collided with Ben Lei, and the Huanghuang Tianwei was directly dispelled by this sword.
The body of the layman Qingming continued to rise into the air, and at this time, the third thunderbolt fell, still hitting the long sword that had no sword intention, causing the long sword to rush directly towards the layman Qingming, and was caught Thunder and lightning engulfed him.
The thunder and lightning and the long sword directly hit the body of the Qingming layman, smashing his floating body back to the ground again, but because of the light beam, the surroundings were not affected in any way.
On the ground, the body of layman Qingming was split into two parts, and then merged together again.
The two Qingming laymen had just merged, and the fourth tribulation thunder struck his body again, splitting him into two again. Therefore, to outsiders, the thunder and lightning was like a sharp blade, directly cutting Qingming layman into pieces. The whole thing is like splitting in half.
In this way, the tribulation thunders continued to fall, and the body of the layman Qingming was continuously separated and fused. By the time of the sixth tribulation thunder, his body was finally no longer separated, but his whole person had become extremely embarrassed. However, the aura on his body became more and more powerful.
Each of the following calamity thunders carried the threat of destroying the world and destroying the world. It seemed that they would not stop until they killed the layman Qingming.
As the ninth thunderbolt fell, the entire valley had turned into ruins, and the body of layman Qingming was also wrapped in the majestic sword intent, rising continuously. Rising with him was the fairy sword Qingming. .
When layman Qingming rose to a high level, he actually merged directly into the fairy sword Qingming, and then the sword intention that originally enveloped him also directly wrapped around the fairy sword Qingming.
Above the sky, the sea of clouds dissipated, and the pillar of light also dissipated. The long sword fell straight down and was stuck in the earth.
Watching the thunderclouds dissipate and the world return to calm, Li Xiuping asked worriedly: "Is this a success?"
No matter it was the saint from Piaoxue City or the saint from Xianglu Mountain, they did not answer at this moment, but looked at the fairy sword Qing Ming below.
The Qingming Immortal Sword was inserted into the ground, continuously releasing majestic sword intent, and then those sword intents were continuously withdrawn and integrated into the Immortal Sword Qingming.
The next moment, the fairy sword Qing Ming trembled violently, and then sword energy continued to attack the surroundings. The whole valley was suddenly filled with sword energy.
The saint from Piaoxue City smiled and said: "It seems that not only has he successfully advanced, but he has also mastered new magical powers of swordsmanship. Now, there are two more sword cultivators in the integration stage in the world."
The saint from Xianglu Mountain shook his head and said, "It should be three."
The saint from Piaoxue City was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, there is also Mr. Qi, a swordsman who studies."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Xiuping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was indeed a success.
He successfully refined the immortal elixir Soul-melting Pill. After taking the Soul-melting Pill, layman Qingming also successfully advanced and became a strong man in the integration stage. The result was as expected.
As the sword energy continued to appear and dissipate, the fairy sword Qing Ming quickly calmed down, and then a ray of light appeared directly in the sword, and the layman Qing Ming who had previously merged with the fairy sword reappeared.
The layman Qingming pulled out the long sword that was stuck on the ground, then appeared directly in front of Li Xiuping and asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Xiuping smiled and shook his head, and asked in a weak voice: "Congratulations to senior for successfully achieving the integration stage."
Master Qingming smiled and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise, if I want to advance, I don't know how many years I have to wait, and it may even be impossible in this life."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Given time, senior will definitely be able to reach the stage of transcending the tribulation."
The layman Qingming smiled and said: "It would be great to be able to break this shackles. I don't dare to think about it during the tribulation period. After all, I still know what my talents are and how many pounds I have. As for what will happen in the future, I can only depend on God's will." ”
The two saints also congratulated each other at the same time, and layman Qingming returned the greetings one by one.
In the distance, countless strong men still stayed, still paying attention to the situation here.
The saint from Piaoxue City said: "Let's find a place to recuperate first. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time."
Li Xiuping nodded. He was really exhausted now. If he wasn't worried about the advancement and safety of Master Qingming, he would have been unable to hold on any longer.
Now that it was confirmed that Master Qingming was fine and had successfully advanced to the integration stage, an unprecedented sense of fatigue suddenly spread throughout his body, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the back of the Qilin in the Blue Water.
If it were before, of course he would have endured it and never let himself fall asleep, but now there are two saints around him, and a newly promoted sword cultivator in the integration stage, plus he has just refined the immortal elixir to melt the soul. Dan, no one would take action against him at this time.
It is no exaggeration to say that since Mr. Ouye's death, Li Xiuping has never felt so at ease as he does now. The feeling of not having to worry about his own safety is really too good to be good. The feeling of finally being able to sleep well. Sleeping without worrying about any danger is simply an unprecedented enjoyment.
Seeing Li Xiuping pass out, Master Qingming felt even more guilty. At this moment, he secretly made up his mind to repay Li Xiuping's kindness even if he risked his life.
In fact, when he has reached his level of cultivation and lived to his age, there is basically nothing he can't bear to see. The reason why he has been looking for ways to advance is no longer to make himself stronger, but simply a kind of obsession. Nian, a kind of unwillingness.
Now that he has achieved his dream, he has no regrets anymore.
He would be very satisfied if he could see the scenery of the Fusion Stage in his lifetime and feel the feeling that only the strong people in the Fusion Stage had.
Everyone is afraid of death, of course he is afraid too, otherwise he would not have cultivated to this level. But it is precisely because he has cultivated to this level that his understanding of life and death is no longer the same as before, so if necessary , he would stand in front of Li Xiuping without hesitation and die resolutely.
The saint in Piaoxue City looked at the unconscious Li Xiuping, pinched a seal, and then injected a spiritual power into Li Xiuping's body to prevent him from suffering as much trauma as possible.
"What an amazing little guy!"
The saint from Piaoxue City smiled slightly.
The saint from Xianglu Mountain also nodded, and then left directly in the air. The clear water unicorn naturally dragged Li Xiuping to follow, and finally came the layman Qingming and "Huoling Zhenren".
At this moment, in fact, both the saint from Piaoxue City and the saint from Xianglu Mountain were extremely shocked, let alone those powerful men attracted by the Soul Melting Pill.
Not long after he forged the Immortal Sword, he has now refined the Immortal Medicinal Soul Melting Pill that can only be seen in rumors, and it has also directly allowed the Qingming layman who has been stuck in the distraction stage for thousands of years to directly enter the integration stage. , this is undoubtedly a direct test of the effect of the soul-melting pill on the spot.
As Li Xiuping and others left, the strong men who were attracted by the soul-melting pill did not leave. Instead, they stared at the spot for a long time before walking towards the valley where Li Xiuping had made the pill before. What do you want to find in that valley...
The two saints took Li Xiuping directly to a small city, and then calmed Li Xiuping down. Then the two saints took turns helping Li Xiuping heal his injuries.
But after Li Xiuping passed out this time, he had no intention of waking up again. Even with the help of the two saints, his body has almost recovered, but Li Xiuping had no intention of waking up.
The reason why Li Xiuping was in this situation, apart from his finally relaxed mentality, was mainly because when refining the soul-melting pill, he caused a lot of trauma to his soul, which would be difficult to recover for a while.
In addition, over the years, Li Xiuping has been running around and fighting almost all the time. It seems that he has gained countless benefits, but in fact, it has also left many hidden dangers. After all, many times after Li Xiuping was seriously injured, he did not receive timely treatment. It was indeed not a big problem at the time, but these small problems continued to accumulate, and now after so many years, the small problems have long turned into big problems.
If it weren't for this elixir refining, if it weren't for the soul-melting elixir he was refining this time, he wouldn't have suffered such a heavy blow. Naturally, the current situation would not have been possible. So in many cases, if there is a gain, there will be a loss. It seems that The more miserable the situation, the benefits often appear quietly.
As the saying goes, blessings lie behind misfortunes, and misfortunes lie behind blessings.
Of course, if it weren't for the two saints who gave Li Xiuping the greatest protection and allowed him to have absolutely no worries, it would have been difficult for him to enter the current state of complete isolation and self-healing.
If it weren't for the willow tree's ability to heal and repair, it would have been difficult for Li Xiuping to enter his current state.
It's just that it's obviously not the right time for Li Xiuping to enter this state now. Because of this complete isolation, the process of self-healing must not be completed in a short time, but will take countless days and nights to slowly repair.
But neither the saint from Piaoxue City nor the saint from Xianglu Mountain could wait that long. According to the previous agreement, they could only give Li Xiuping two months at most, and now the deadline is two months away. It's getting closer and closer. If Li Xiuping hasn't woken up by then, and they are completely unaware of Li Xiuping's mysterious state now, it's hard to guarantee that they won't take some other method to force Li Xiuping. wake.
