Everyone sat down one after another, connected all the information, and discussed the current situation in Emperor Wu City.
As the discussion progressed, everyone naturally forgot about Li Xiuping.
Although Mr. Li is important, he is unconscious now, so he naturally has no effect.
After everyone had finished their discussion, Li Xiuping, who had been unconscious all this time, suddenly made some noise. Although it was not big, it made everyone quiet down and focus all their attention on Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping stretched first, and then slowly opened his eyes. The expression on his face was very satisfied, like a person who had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, and finally woke up from a beautiful sleep.
As soon as Li Xiuping opened his eyes, he saw so many people staring at him, and they were all stronger than the last. There were even many familiar people among them, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Seeing Li Xiuping suddenly wake up, many people were a little surprised, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. Of course, the little girl in red was not included among them.
Miss Xiaohong was the first to break the silence and said, "I thought you wouldn't wake up."
After speaking, he threw an apple towards Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping reached out and took it, smiling awkwardly and saying, "How long have I been asleep?"
Everyone looked at layman Qingming, who could only reply: "Exactly twenty-one days."
Li Xiuping was surprised and said: "So long."
No one answered, everyone just looked at him.
Li Xiuping felt more and more embarrassed and laughed: "It seems that this elixir cannot be easily refined. It's too fatal."
Miss Xiao Hong picked up another apple, took a bite, and said vaguely: "I'm afraid it's not up to you."
The city lord of Emperor Wu City smiled at this time and said: "Just wake up, now this City of Emperor Wu really cannot live without Mr. Li..."
He wanted to go on, but Miss Xiaohong was not happy and interrupted directly: "I just woke up, you can at least let him change. Ask him this and that as soon as he comes up, so you are not afraid of being confused and making mistakes." What?"
The city lord of Emperor Wu City suddenly looked embarrassed.
The woman in green said: "Xiao Hong."
Miss Xiaohong curled her lips, winked at Li Xiuping, and said, "That sword is good, I like it very much, and the name is also pleasant."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Li Xiuping calmed down his thoughts, and then asked: "Is this the City of Emperor Wu?"
Miss Xiao Hong nodded and said, "You slept soundly all the way, and you were escorted by five saints and seven sages. With this kind of treatment, I didn't wake you up even in your dreams. You are so generous."
Li Xiuping said awkwardly: "Thank you for your hard work, seniors."
Everyone waved their hands.
Qi Wenxing looked at Li Xiuping with emotion.
It can be said that he has grown up watching Li Xiuping. When it comes to understanding Li Xiuping, no one here can compare to him.
Before Mr. Ouye's death, this kid was actually nothing special. He was an ordinary child. If anything, he had a larger appetite than his peers and had better physical strength than his peers. Other than that, he really couldn't see anything. come out.
After Mr. Ouye died, this kid entered the Night Travel Division and became a monster hunter. He said he was a monster hunter, but in fact he just earned a little money by fighting those monsters, and then used the money to All devoted themselves to practice.
At that time, Qi Wenxing felt that this little guy had good perseverance. A child with such a big appetite could resist not eating or drinking, and invest all his money in practice. At that age, few people could do it.
But that's just because his perseverance is pretty good, because in Qi Wenxing's view, it's just a fool's errand for him to embark on this path of cultivation.
A person without spiritual roots is not even qualified to set foot on that path.
Talent may not be necessary for anything, but this is not the path to cultivation. The most indispensable thing is talent. In addition to talent, it also needs chance, luck, and understanding, and that child does not have any of these.
But after all, he is a disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, the master of sword-making. Even if he cannot practice, he can still make a good living by relying on the sword-making skills passed down by Mr. Ou Ye, and he can also enter a sect and enjoy good treatment. But he refused such a lifestyle, and when various sects came to visit him, he directly asked not to forge swords.
Although he later entered Huayang Sect, Huayang Sect just had no choice at that time.
During that period, although the child had made some progress in spiritual practice, he actually walked awkwardly and slowly, like a blind man crossing a river, who could only fumble slowly.
The first time he helped him was because his husband owed Mr. Ouye a favor. The second time he helped him was because he felt that his husband had made a profit. The third time he helped him was because of feelings and because although he couldn't say how I like this kid, but I don't hate him either.
So after taking action three times, he stopped paying attention, and went directly to the north to find the sword master, so much so that he didn't care that his husband asked him to pay attention to the Immortal Ascension Conference.
In fact, at that time, he felt that he would probably never interact with the child again, because his husband had decided to return to Guanchao Academy to take charge of the overall situation, and even if the child successfully entered Huayang Sect, there would be a gap between him and Guanchao Academy. It's too big.
And just after he left, the child's practice trajectory began to change, and it was a huge change.
First, he won the first place in the Yunzhou Immortal Ascension Conference in Huayang Sect with his cultivation without foundation. Then he forged the first spiritual sword in Huayang Sect without spiritual foundation, and then offended the man from Kunlun Mountain. After he was forced to leave the Huayang Sect, he made great progress all the way. With the strength of foundation building, he fought against the Nascent Soul, met the Jiuxian, met the demon clan, obtained the Xuanhuo Order, entered the Penglai Immortal Boat, obtained the Fusang Sacred Tree, and obtained the Fusang Sacred Tree. He inherited Confucianism and became his junior disciple.
But even at that time, he did not expect that this young junior brother would be able to reach this stage, because at that time, he still only had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were still two steps left that he had not taken.
The transaction with the sword master was just done according to the master's instructions.
But now, although he is still only in the foundation building stage, he has already stood at the same height as him, and in a sense, is even taller than him. And the time before and after this was only a few years.
In fact, until he came out this time, he didn't know that his husband's repayment of Mr. Ou Ye's kindness was not just as simple as it seemed, but that every step the child took, every step related to the academy, was part of the academy's repayment of kindness. This way, or in other words, this is not just a simple repayment of gratitude, but a transaction, a transaction that is beneficial to both parties.
The academy provided conveniences to Li Xiuping, gave him reputation and status, and protected his life. Li Xiuping also allowed the academy to obtain the three-hundred-year ownership of the ancient battlefield ruins, thus stabilizing the status of the holy land. It was also at this time that he knew who Mr. Ouye, it is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.
In fact, even if an ordinary person can really forge an immortal sword, it is impossible for him to have an intersection with an immortal. So since there is an intersection, there must be something unknown to outsiders, and Li Xiuping is probably the key.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this key that this guy failed to take the last two steps in the climax building of the academy. As for the truth, he didn't know, and his husband didn't know either, and even Li Xiuping didn't know. I don't even know it. In the whole world, the only ones who know the truth are probably the dead Mr. Ouye and the wine master.
Qi Wenxing smiled slightly.
In any case, he, as a senior, is happy that this junior fellow student can achieve what he has achieved today. Putting aside his personal emotions, at least the academy can get a lot of benefits from it.
Of course, these are not the focus now, the focus is how to deal with the demons.
Li Xiuping continued: "According to the previous agreement, after refining the soul-melting pill, I will tell you what I know."
He paused, as if thinking about how to speak.
Hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up.
Everyone present spent so much effort just for this.
Li Xiuping continued: "The method of dealing with the demons comes from the inheritance of an immortal. However, due to limited strength, the younger generation cannot fully unlock these inheritances, so I can only tell what I know about the demons. Let me inform you seniors of the situation, I hope it will be helpful to you seniors.”
Everyone listened expectantly, but found that they seemed to have heard nonsense, but no one spoke, and everyone continued to wait.
Li Xiuping continued: "The demon clan has a huge weakness, that is, it cannot adapt to the rules of this world. Therefore, after it is demonized, as long as it uses its magical power to draw the rules of this world to attack, it can cause heavy damage to it. It was the power of thunder and lightning that guided the rules of this world before that I could kill the Fire Spirit Master with one blow."
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "However, it has paid a heavy price. However, everyone present is at least a strong person in the God Transformation stage. It is not difficult to achieve this."
The saint from Piaoxue City frowned at this time and said: "I have tried to attack with the power of thunder and lightning before, but it didn't have much effect."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "The point is not the power of thunder and lightning, but the rules of heaven and earth."
Having said this, he paused again, as if he didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he simply asked: "So, seniors, can you understand?"
Many people nodded along. At this time, even if they don't understand, they have to pretend to understand. Otherwise, wouldn't their understanding of cultivation and the rules of heaven and earth be inferior to that of a young man in the foundation building stage?
Of course, this is not the time to save face, so the city lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and said: "Using magical powers to induce the power of heaven and earth's vitality, using the heaven and earth's vitality to integrate the rules of heaven and earth, and launching heavenly suppression, is this what it means?"
Regarding cultivation, Li Xiuping's understanding is naturally not as profound as these strong men, so Li Xiuping actually doesn't know whether it means this, but what he said himself is not wrong, so now it is dictated by a strong man in the Mahayana period, Naturally, there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded.
After hearing the explanation from the Lord of Emperor Wu City and looking at Li Xiuping, everyone present had a look of understanding.
If these people knew Li Xiuping's inner thoughts and knew that such a big thing was such a child's play and that he was just trying to muddle through, I really don't know what these guys would think.
That is the demon clan, a terrifying existence that is about to bring destruction to the entire human world. Naturally, anything related to it must be cautious and cautious. There must be no carelessness. How can it be such a joke?
After Li Xiuping finished speaking, he saw that no one had any doubts, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This hurdle was finally passed. He only hoped that there would be no accidents when he really had to deal with the demons next time. .
He glanced around and found that almost all the Eight Sages and Seven Sages were gathered here, including Taiyi Pavilion, but he did not see the Star Observation Tower, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
After refining the soul-melting pill, he was unconscious along the way, so naturally he didn't know what happened along the way. However, it was not easy to ask at this time. We could only wait until they dispersed and find out more from layman Qingming.
After getting a way to deal with the demons, countless strong men discussed for a while, and then dispersed one after another.
Nowadays, the situation in the entire Wu Emperor City is tense. Everyone has important things to deal with, so it is naturally impossible to stay here to chat and have tea.
When the powerful people from all sides dispersed one after another, the originally crowded hall quickly became empty.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City, who had only one arm, said to Li Xiuping at this time: "Master Li, take a good rest first. If you need anything, just tell Emperor Wu City here."
Li Xiuping returned the greeting, as if he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, does senior know anything related to martial arts, such as some ancient books related to martial arts practice?"
The one-armed old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "There seems to be a similar record over there in the library, but the old man doesn't pay much attention to it. In this way, I will ask someone to take Mr. Li there. If necessary, Mr. Li can take it directly. yes."
Li Xiuping was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Then, this junior will thank the senior first."
The old man smiled, waved his hand, and said to the outside: "He Feng, take Mr. Li to the library and say hello to the library. If Mr. Li needs anything, let him go."
After the words fell, a woman in red walked into the hall and saluted: "Yes."
The one-armed old man said with a smile: "I'll excuse you now. There are so many trivial matters in Emperor Wu's city now. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me for any neglect."
Li Xiuping quickly waved his hand and said: "Senior's words are serious. If important events are delayed because of junior, then it is junior's fault."
The one-armed old man said to the woman in red named He Feng: "Please treat me well, don't show any slightest care."
The woman in red agreed again, and the old man walked out of the hall.
After the old man left, the woman in red looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "Master Li, are you going to the library now?"
Li Xiuping hesitated for a moment and looked at the woman in green and the girl in red.
The woman in green said: "Go ahead. We also have to go to the East China Sea for something else. We may not be back until about half a month."
Li Xiuping looked at the woman in red again and said, "Miss, please lead the way."
The woman in red said: "Then young master, come with me."
Li Xiuping followed the woman in red out of the hall and walked directly towards the library.
Because I was in a coma when I came here, I couldn't see the majesty of Emperor Wu's city. Now I appeared directly in the city, and it was still the city lord's palace. After walking around, I had a strange feeling that I was in the city but didn't know the city.
After walking for a while, they came to a building. Two disciples stood in front of the door, each holding a long sword, and they saluted Li Xiuping.
The woman in red took Li Xiuping directly into the library.
After entering the library, a simple and ancient atmosphere instantly hit my face, and then I saw an old man with his arms around his body, sorting the classics on the bookshelf.
The woman in red led Li Xiuping straight to the old man, then bowed and said, "This is Li Xiuping, Mr. Li. Master asked me to bring him over to pick out some books. Master has ordered that whatever Mr. Li needs, Everything can be released."
The old man nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I understand."
He was still sorting out the books and never looked back.
The woman in red took out a red jade plaque and handed it to Li Xiuping and said: "This is the key. You can enter and exit the upper floors at will, but the last floor cannot be entered."
Li Xiuping took the jade token and thanked him.
After the woman in red gave Li Xiuping the jade token, she said: "After the young master has been selected, I will come over and arrange the young master's residence."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Thank you."
After the woman in red left, Li Xiuping glanced at the jade tablet in his hand. He could feel the powerful power of the formation contained in it. He put it away. Then he glanced at the old man and found that the old man was still concentrating on sorting out the classics. , so he didn’t bother, and after bowing, he started looking for what he needed.
After walking a few steps, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel a little bitter. There were really too many classics here, and they were extremely messy. They were from all eras and types.
To find what you need in such a huge sea of books is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The best way now is to ask for help from the old man, because the old man has been here all year round, and he has also sorted out these classics, so he must know where the things he needs are.
But before Li Xiuping opened his mouth, the old man asked: "Want to find books related to martial arts?"
Li Xiuping was stunned and didn't understand how the old man knew, so he nodded.
The old man smiled and said, "It's been many years since I've seen anyone who has formed a martial arts pill."
He pondered for a moment, then continued: "It must be three thousand years ago, maybe even longer. Hey, I am getting older and my brain is not working well."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown a little deeper, and his eyes looked at this seemingly ordinary old man, but he didn't see anything.
The old man put down the classics in his hands, turned around, looked at Li Xiuping for the first time, and then asked with a smile: "What do you think of martial arts?"
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."
The old man waved his hand and said: "If you dare not give me any advice, you can read it yourself first. After reading it, come to me again."
As he spoke, he glanced left and right, then pointed to a place in front of him and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be right there."
Some people died, but not completely...
