As Li Xiuping continued to forge swords and refine elixirs day after day, the medicinal materials and materials also decreased in an imperceptible way.
Although there are many medicinal herbs and materials, the elixirs refined and swords forged are pitifully few.
Even though Li Xiuping was now able to refine elixirs and forge swords, errors would still occur in the casting and refining processes, leading to refining failures. This is actually just a normal thing. As the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim. This is the truth.
Every time Li Xiuping refines and casts for a period of time, someone will come to take away the refined elixirs and cast spiritual swords, and bring new medicinal materials and materials. Sword casting and elixir refining also look like It's a never-ending job...
At this moment, Li Xiuping handed over another batch of elixirs and spiritual swords. After calculating the time, it was almost a month as the Lord of Emperor Wu City said, that is, the day when the seal would be lifted.
Li Xiuping asked the disciples from Emperor Wu City who came to pick up things: "What's going on at the seal now?"
The person who took the object shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but now most of the people in Emperor Wu City have left, and all the major sects have gathered in Emperor City Wu one after another. I am afraid that it will not be long before the city of Emperor Wu is changed. It has become a bloody battlefield."
Li Xiuping nodded.
The disciple from Emperor Wu City asked, "Does Mr. Li have any other instructions?"
Li Xiuping shook his head.
The man then saluted and said, "I'll take my leave now."
After the man left, Li Xiuping did not continue to forge swords or refine elixirs. Instead, he looked up at the eastern sky, feeling groggy and smelling of the salty and wet sea breeze.
After this period of cultivation, the green water unicorn has recovered a lot, and is currently lying under the stairs of Li Xiuping's room, but his eyes look a little heavy.
For the perception of danger, beings like the Clear Water Kirin are much keener than humans. What's more, the seal of Emperor Wu City is at the bottom of the sea, and the Clear Water Kirin is a species that controls the water attribute energy. It is natural that it can feel what Li Xiuping cannot. Case.
When Li Xiuping withdrew his eyes, he happened to see the situation and asked, "What do you feel?"
Bishui Qilin replied: "There seems to be something powerful approaching in the East China Sea..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise directly from the east, and then a stream of light rose into the sky, and huge waves swept directly over the sky, as if to submerge the entire Martial Emperor City in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the entire ground began to shake violently, and many buildings collapsed instantly.
At the same time, streams of light soared into the sky from Emperor Wu's City, and then a huge barrier of light began to emerge, taking shape before the tides approached Emperor Wu's City.
The huge waves hit the light barrier directly and then retreated.
Countless powerful men from Emperor Martial City continued to appear, and at the same time, to the east of Emperor Martial City, masses of black energy continued to emerge, constantly impacting the light barriers.
Li Xiuping was frowning, thinking about how to deal with the next situation.
At this time, several strong men from Emperor Martial City ran over quickly and said, "Master Li, the Lord of the City has ordered you to leave Emperor Martial City first and go to Maple Leaf City in the west."
Li Xiuping nodded, glanced east again, and then turned around to pack his things.
While Li Xiuping was packing his things, the strong men from Emperor Wu City also started to pack up the materials and medicinal herbs, and then guarded them in the yard.
layman Qingming and "Huoling Zhenren" also had heavy expressions at this time.
Li Xiuping packed up his things and walked out of the room. He happened to see many people coming here, including He Feng. In addition, there were many people, but almost all of them were women and children. Even those who were practicing People's strength is also below the Nascent Soul stage.
Before Li Xiuping could speak, a strong man spoke: "Young Master Li will go to Maple Leaf City with them. Maple Leaf City is also the second line of defense of Emperor Wu City, and we are responsible for the safety of Young Master Li and others. .”
After saying that, he directly launched a spiritual boat.
Everyone boarded the spirit boat one after another, and the spirit boat began to take off and head towards the west.
Li Xiuping soon discovered that there were many similar spirit boats, and they were all rising from various places in Emperor Wu City, and then heading west one after another.
It can be seen that the situation in Emperor Wu City is much worse than imagined, otherwise Emperor Wu City would not have taken out so many spirit boats and sent away so many people at once.
In the same way, except for these people who were sent away, the remaining people will stick to Emperor Wu's city, and most of them will stay in Emperor Wu's city forever.
As the spirit boat continued to go west, it soon met many strong men rushing to Emperor Wu's city from the west. These strong men were either in groups of three or five, traveling in the air, or they were driving the same spirit boat. After the encounter, almost all the spirit boats on Li Xiuping's side would stop to make way for these people. The people on the spirit boats would also salute to these people and then watch them disappear.
The spirit boat traveled like this for almost a day and landed in a city at noon the next day.
From the sky, you can see people in this city busy. Some are busy continuing to head west, while others are busy building defenses, hoarding supplies, and then sending them to the east via spiritual boats.
However, most of the people here are ordinary people. The strongest is at the Nascent Soul stage. There is no strong person at the Divine Transformation stage and above. There are still troops in the city to maintain order.
After the spirit boat that Li Xiuping and others were riding landed, an old general and many soldiers came to greet them. They saluted everyone on the spirit boat, and then asked a strong man from Emperor Wu City: "Emperor City Emperor How's the situation over there?"
The strong man from Emperor Wu City who was in charge of the spirit boat team said: "The seal has been lifted, but it is not easy for the demons to capture Emperor Emperor City. However, Maple Leaf City is the only way to Emperor Emperor City. You will become a target of the demons, so you still need to be on guard.”
The old general nodded and said: "After receiving the news from Martial Emperor City, Maple Leaf City has already activated the first level of combat readiness. However, we have never seen what this demon is. How to deal with it depends on the guidance of the immortals in Martial Emperor City. "
He seemed to realize that this was not the place to talk, and then said: "The accommodation has been arranged, all the immortals, please come here."
The strong man in charge of the spirit boat took Li Xiuping and others to follow the old general, and then settled Li Xiuping and others one by one. The man in charge went to discuss with the hot general about dealing with the demons. However, many of the remaining strong men stayed behind to guard around Li Xiuping and his group.
The residence arranged for everyone in Maple Leaf City is a large mansion. In addition to Li Xiuping, Master Qingming and others, there are also He Feng and many others. It seems a bit crowded, but a relatively quiet courtyard has been prepared for Li Xiuping. , to facilitate Li Xiuping's alchemy and sword-making.
After the powerful men from Emperor Wu City handed over the medicinal materials needed for alchemy and sword-making materials to Li Xiuping, a middle-aged man smiled and said: "I have wronged Mr. Li. I still have things to return to Emperor Emperor City, and I will be responsible for it later." To convey the situation in Emperor Wu City, if Mr. Li needs anything, he can ask Junior Sister He to pass on the message."
Li Xiuping nodded, and the man said goodbye and left.
Li Xiuping actually wanted to ask some things about He Feng, such as now that the seal has been lifted, whether He Feng will become the target of the demons in the future, etc., but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Since the Lord of Emperor Wu City has made such an arrangement, , there must be his plan.
Li Xiuping soon discovered that everyone had something to do, including He Feng, who was doing their part to fight against the demons. Women and children were not idle either, so he was embarrassed to be lazy. After taking a sip of wine, he took out the square furnace cauldron and started refining the elixir.
After Li Xiuping and others entered Maple Leaf City, nothing happened in Maple Leaf City. Everyone, whether they were monks or ordinary people, did what they should do step by step. However, on the morning of the third day, Li Xiuping just opened the door. He saw He Feng standing in front of his door.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, Miss He?"
He Feng nodded and said: "Just now news came from Emperor Wu City that the war situation is more tragic than imagined. There is a great demand for elixirs and spiritual swords, so my senior brother has brought many alchemists and weapon refiners. I hope that Young Master I can move over and teach them how to make alchemy and forge swords."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, Miss He, while I pack some things first."
As he said that, he glanced at the blue water unicorn in front of the house and said coldly: "Don't get up yet."
The green water unicorn stood up reluctantly, its eyes full of resentment.
No one asked him to do anything at first, but Li Xiuping seemed to hate it and sent him to help people in the city every day. He couldn't rest until very late every day, and then he was woken up by Li Xiuping early in the morning. .
Master Qingming and "Master Huo Ling" also walked out of the room at this time. He Feng bowed to them and said: "Two seniors, please also prepare. Mr. Li's safety depends on these two seniors."
The layman Qingming and "Huoling Zhenren" both nodded, and after a brief tidying up, they followed He Feng out of the mansion and walked north along the street.
He Feng brought Li Xiuping to a heavily guarded building. An old man immediately came forward to greet him. He looked at Li Xiuping and said, "This must be Mr. Li Xiuping, right? This old man is Danqi Sect Yuan Hua. I’d like to thank Mr. Li for your advice in the future.”
Li Xiuping frowned slightly and didn't quite understand why someone would come to establish relations at this time.
Just at this time, another middle-aged man came out. After bowing to Li Xiuping, he said with a smile: "Junior sister He should have informed Mr. Li of the situation. Mr. Li will have to work hard next."
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "It should be."
The man then said: "Master Li, please come in."
He Feng said at this time: "Then junior sister will go back first."
As he spoke, he bowed to the middle-aged man and Li Xiuping in turn, then turned and left.
After entering the courtyard, the middle-aged man took Li Xiuping to a hall. Countless people in the hall immediately looked at Li Xiuping and others with different expressions.
These people are both male and female, old and young, but they only have two identities, either alchemists or weapon refiners.
The middle-aged man brought Li Xiuping and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Ou Ye's personal disciple, and he is also the master who refined the immortal elixir Soul Melting Pill. From now on, Mr. Li will be responsible for guiding you in elixir refining." And forge swords, Emperor Wu's city will rely on you."
As he spoke, he bowed to these people.
Everyone returned the gift.
Then someone said: "Refining elixirs and refining spiritual treasures for Emperor Wu City. As alchemists and swordsmiths, we naturally have a duty and will do our best. Why should we let him guide us?"
The middle-aged man from Emperor Wu City smiled slightly and said: "Don't misunderstand me. It's not that I don't believe you, so I have people come over to supervise you. However, whether it is elixirs or spiritual weapons, the higher the grade, the better. I brought Mr. Li here because I hope that under Mr. Li’s guidance, you can break through the current limits and refine higher-grade elixirs and spiritual weapons.”
Another person said: "Let's not talk about whether the rumors are true. Even if he can really refine the soul-melting pill and forge the fairy sword, it may not be able to allow us to break through the existing limits."
Someone immediately echoed: "It's just a young boy coming to guide us. Isn't this a joke?"
"..."
Everyone started talking at once, and the hall suddenly seemed a little chaotic.
Looking at these people, Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown. The disciple from Emperor Wu City was also a little bitter, obviously he didn't expect such a situation to happen.
The disciple from Emperor Wu City said in a deep voice: "Please be quiet."
The shock of the strong man in the distraction stage immediately silenced everyone.
After everyone was quiet, he said to Li Xiuping: "I know nothing about alchemy or sword making, so I can only leave it to Mr. Li."
Li Xiuping nodded, then looked at those people and couldn't help but frown, because he found an acquaintance among these people, the female cultivator from Huatian Sect who knew how to refine weapons.
Naturally, she had seen Li Xiuping a long time ago, and now she saw Li Xiuping looking at her, smiling and waving.
Li Xiuping smiled back, and then said: "To be honest, if it weren't for Martial Emperor City, I really don't want to stay with you. After all, this matter will not do any good to me. On the contrary, you can make alchemy and weapon refining." A breakthrough has been achieved. So if you don’t trust me and don’t want to stay here, just leave, and I believe Emperor Wu City will not stop you.”
The disciple in Emperor Wu City was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Everything here is decided by Young Master Li."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Xiuping said, "Since we all want to stay, let's talk less. Otherwise, even if you don't leave, I won't mind throwing you out."
Seeing that everyone was quiet and no one was leaving, the disciple from Emperor Wu City just breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard Li Xiuping's words, he couldn't help but frown.
These alchemists and weapon refiners are very proud. Mr. Li said this, it's surprising that these guys can endure it.
However, he never expected that these guys who usually have their eyes high above their heads would all be silent at this moment, and many of them even lowered their heads.
The disciple from Emperor Wu City felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, you can tell people outside. Also, just don't worry, no matter what kind of In this situation, Emperor Wu City will ensure your safety, so you can just concentrate on refining elixirs and refining weapons."
After this strong man from Emperor Martial City left, the entire hall suddenly became quiet. No one spoke, and you could hear a needle drop.
At this time, someone smiled and said: "Master Li, can you show us the process of refining the elixir?"
The person who spoke was the old man who went out to greet him in person and called himself Danqi Sect Yuan Hua.
Li Xiuping glanced at him, and the guy lowered his head, as if he was afraid that Li Xiuping would really throw him out.
Li Xiuping said: "If you can provide materials, I won't mind, but even if you all bring together the medicinal materials, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the ingredients to refine the immortal elixir."
Everyone looked at each other again, then nodded at the same time.
Li Xiuping raised his hand, and a furnace cauldron appeared out of thin air, and then said: "I will refine a spiritual elixir first, and you can see if it can be helpful to you."
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged, and then flames rose from the furnace. Li Xiuping said, "The alchemist will stay, and the weapon refiner will go out first."
As soon as the voice fell, all the alchemists stepped forward at the same time, and the weapon refiners walked out. Although they were talking about it, they all kept their voices low.
In front of Li Xiuping, countless medicinal materials appeared out of thin air, and then were thrown into the furnace one by one. Under the refinement of the flames, they began to change.
All the alchemists opened their eyes wide, for fear of missing even a tiny bit.
Looking at it, many people actually had some insights and nodded repeatedly. Some people who were still suspicious of Li Xiuping were now attracted by Li Xiuping's alchemy techniques.
As time continued, the aroma of medicine filled the air from the cauldron. Then Li Xiuping thought, and a spiritual elixir flew out on its own, hovering in the air.
Li Xiuping stood up and said: "I believe that you have gained something, but after all, there is a gap between perception and practice. Next, you can refine it on your own. If you encounter any problems, come to me again."
Many people saluted at the same time and said in unison: "Thank you Mr. Li for your advice."
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said, "Go out and call the weapon refiners in."
Everyone walked out one after another, whispering to each other.
Li Xiuping put away the cauldron and waited for the weapon refiners to walk in. He then led these people out and came to a casting platform. Then he took out the cauldron again and at the same time, he took out the tools required for making the sword. He took out the materials, but he did not start making the sword directly, but said: "Forging a sword is different from refining a weapon, so I can only demonstrate the process of smelting and fusion, and you can only rely on yourselves for the rest."
After saying that, he actually put all the materials into the furnace, and then manipulated the flames to refine the materials. At the same time, he said: "The method I use will be much faster. It does not mean that you can imitate it directly. So how to refine it?" The materials will have to be decided according to your own circumstances.”
After saying this, the surrounding temperature instantly increased, and the materials in the furnace began to melt...
Some people died, but not completely...
