On the Lingxiao Sect Mountain, Li Xiuping has been silent for three days. If it weren't for the brilliance on his body, people would even doubt whether he was dead.
Except for those who continue to use soul-melting pills, the strong men from all sides have already left one after another. The strong men from Qingming and Emperor Wu City are still guarding Li Xiuping. In fact, if anything happens to Li Xiuping again, they will completely help him. Not too busy.
At this moment, several strong men from Emperor Martial City came from Maple Leaf City. After roughly understanding what happened here, they all looked at Li Xiuping, who was sitting motionless.
A strong man walked up to layman Qingming and asked, "Lady, Mr. Li, is he okay?"
Master Qingming glanced at Li Xiuping, then shook his head, but said nothing. He didn't know whether it was okay or if he didn't know.
At this time, Li Xiuping, who had not made any movement for three days, suddenly made a move and slowly stood up from the ground.
After Li Xiuping stood up, he glanced left and right, and then said with a smile: "I made you worry, I'm fine."
Seeing Li Xiuping getting up and hearing these words, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the distance, those strong men in the distraction stage naturally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they all wanted to ask Mr. Li to help them refine the soul-melting pill.
These strong men looked at each other, and then they all saw each other's thoughts, and they approached the Lingxiao Sect together.
Feeling the approach of these strong men, the strong men in Emperor Wu City suddenly became a little nervous, while layman Qingming frowned slightly, his face slightly gloomy.
Before they even got close, these powerful men took the lead in expressing their intentions and said loudly: "Don't be nervous, everyone. We just want to ask Mr. Li for help to see if he can help us refine this soul-melting pill."
Everyone then looked at Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping nodded, indicating that these people could be allowed in.
After these powerful men entered the Lingxiao Sect, they stopped in unison and saluted everyone in turn, appearing extremely polite.
Li Xiuping glanced at these powerful men, smiled slightly, and said, "Since you all want this soul-melting pill, what kind of reward can you give me?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then fell into thinking.
This question is really not easy to answer. If someone else needs wealth, treasures, or status, they can give it to them. Even if they give a promise to a strong person in the distraction period, it will be a priceless treasure. But this The person is Li Xiuping.
Mr. Li is probably not short of wealth. He can easily refine a pill or an immortal sword to get a lot of spiritual stones. He is also not short of treasures. After all, Mr. Li has many immortal treasures on his body. It's like he doesn't need money, and he can also forge the fairy sword himself. As for status...
This Mr. Li is a master of sword making, a master of alchemy, a junior uncle of Guanchao Academy, and a descendant of the sword master of the Xijian Pond. Now he is acting directly on behalf of the Lord of Emperor Wu City. In other words, this Li The status that the young master holds may not be the best in the world, but it is beyond the scope of what people like them can give.
The last promise is even more worthless. Not to mention that Mr. Li has a senior Jiuxian behind him, as well as various forces as backing. Now he is protected by layman Qingming, one of the eight sages. The key is Mr. Li's own strength is not inferior to theirs, which makes their promises worthless.
After everyone thought for a while, one person took the lead and said: "As long as Young Master Li wants something, as long as we can do it, we will never delay it!"
Li Xiuping pretended to think: "This is really difficult..."
Seeing Li Xiuping thinking, these people also frowned. This was what they were most afraid of.
If Mr. Li really wants something, then no matter how difficult it is, no matter whether they can achieve it or not, they still have a goal. I'm afraid that Mr. Li wants nothing, and even if they want to strive for it, they don't have that goal. Chance.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuping continued: "If you are allowed to fight against the demons, would you be willing?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Xiuping in astonishment. It was not that they thought this request was too much, but they did not expect that Li Xiuping would make such a request. You should know that this request would not bring any substantial benefit to Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping looked at everyone's expressions and said softly: "If you are afraid, forget it."
Saying that, he was about to leave.
Seeing Li Xiuping about to leave, a strong man hurriedly said: "This is not..."
He quickly continued: "Is this really the only request Mr. Li has?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "You are all strong men in the cultivation world, so you naturally know the current situation in Emperor Wu City. If you have seniors join us, the situation in Maple Leaf City can naturally be alleviated."
He then smiled bitterly and said: "This junior is also taking orders in the face of danger. The city lord asked me to be in charge of the rear. Therefore, the more anxious the situation in the front is, the heavier my task here will be. If you have seniors joining me, the situation in Maple Leaf City will be alleviated." The situation can be much more relaxed on my side.”
A strong man said at this time: "As human monks, we should stand up at this time. To be honest, we were planning to go to Maple Leaf City, but we met Mr. Li refining the soul-melting pill on the way. That’s when it stopped.”
Li Xiuping naturally didn't bother to prove whether this was true or not, and said with a smile: "In that case, the soul-melting pill is naturally no problem. After all, it is my task to refine the pill for the front line."
When everyone heard it, they still felt a little unbelievable. It was an immortal elixir, something that countless strong people in the distraction stage had been pursuing for their entire lives. Did Mr. Li really agree to this?
A strong man asked: "Master Li can really refine the soul-melting pill for us?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "As long as they are fighting against the demons on the front line, as long as they are unable to break through at the peak of the distraction period, I will try my best to refine it for them. Of course, it is definitely not possible now, and everyone who fought before will also You see, I am still seriously injured and I will definitely not be able to refine the immortal elixir within the next few months. Even if I recover, the medicinal materials will be a problem..."
Having said this, he looked at everyone with his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you seniors want the soul-melting pill, you can't let me provide the medicinal materials myself? To be honest, I really can't afford that much money."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other again.
Li Xiuping still didn't speak, just looked at these strong men.
A strong man took the lead and said, "No problem. Mr. Li will tell you what medicinal materials are needed. We will be satisfied as much as possible. But now that we have to go to the front line, I am afraid we don't have time to collect the medicinal materials..."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Someone will do the collecting of medicinal materials. Just give me money."
Everyone understood instantly and without any hesitation, they took out their valuable things one after another, eager to take out all the treasures they had collected over the years.
All the treasures and belongings are in preparation for breaking through to the integration stage. Now that there is hope, there is nothing to hesitate.
Li Xiuping was not polite and accepted all these things one by one, and then said with a smile: "In this case, you can rest assured to face the enemy on the front line. In four months at most, the first soul-melting pill will be sent to the front line. As for Whoever uses it first will depend on the number of enemies killed and the contribution made by the seniors on the front line."
This was originally a deal, and everyone agreed, but now it sounds a little strange, as if they are not making a deal with Li Xiuping, but are being driven by this young man.
After all, they are also strong in the distraction stage, and most of them are casual cultivators. They are used to being free and undisciplined. Now that they are being treated like this by such a young boy, they feel a little uncomfortable.
But they didn't dare to show it. They had no choice but to do so. This Soul-melting Pill was too important to them. Now that they could get it, they had no choice but to endure it. When they got the Soul-melting Pill, they wouldn't need it. Being controlled by others, what about fighting against the demons? If you are happy, help them. If you are not happy, just give up and leave. Who can do anything to them?
It's just that they originally wanted to go to the battlefield and have a little fun, and they planned to wait until they got the soul-melting pill before making plans. But now it seems that it is obviously impossible to get through. It seems that this time they go to Maple Leaf City, they really have to show some seriousness. That’s what it takes.
Of course, the premise is to save your life first. After all, only by saving your life can you wait for the soul-melting pill and reach the state you have always wanted to reach. As for who is first and who is last, they don't care much. Someone is in front, but You can let someone try the effect of this soul-melting pill first. Anyway, you have been waiting for so many years, so there is no rush for a few months.
After that, everyone said goodbye and left, heading directly to Maple Leaf City to join the team fighting against the demons.
After these people left, Master Qingming frowned and asked, "Do you really want to help them refine the soul-melting pill?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "They go to the front line to fight against the demons, and I refine the soul-melting pill for them. It's fair."
Qingming layman continued: "But if they get the soul-melting pill and leave, wouldn't it be..."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "They won't leave."
The layman Qingming and the powerful men in Emperor Wu City were stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "The purpose of refining the Soul Fusion Pill is to increase the strength of the monks who resist the demons. It is to strengthen the power against the demons. If they get the Soul Fusion Pill and no longer fight against the demons, then the Fusion The effect of the soul pill has not been exerted, so naturally I will not do such a thing."
Everyone became more and more confused.
Li Xiuping explained with a smile: "I refined the elixir. If I add something, that's fine. If they eat it then, it will be fine as long as they don't leave. If they really want to take the elixir, that's fine." Just run away, it’s not that easy.”
Everyone understood instantly.
The layman Qingming still didn't quite understand, and continued: "But the elixirs are sent one after another. If the first person takes the elixir and runs away, if you have done anything with the elixir, other people will know it. when……"
Li Xiuping nodded, looked at Master Qingming with some meaning, and asked with a smile: "If they know that I have tampered with the elixir, and this elixir can allow them to directly enter the integration stage, seniors think they Will you eat it?"
The layman Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "For monks in the distraction stage, it is indeed difficult to refuse such a temptation. The expressions of these people will definitely be wonderful."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Even if I didn't tamper with the elixir, as long as I tell them that I did tampering with the elixir, they can only continue to fight against the demons. The realm they finally achieved has not been fully realized yet." To feel something, you have to put your life on the line, no one would be willing to do this kind of thing."
Layman Qingming nodded and said, "That's the truth."
He then asked: "Then do you know how to do anything?"
Li Xiuping did not answer, but asked with a smile: "What do you think, senior?"
The layman Qingming just smiled slightly. It didn't matter whether he did anything or not. Anyway, the pill he took must be fine.
Li Xiuping handed over the treasures and spirit stones given by the strong men to the strong men in Emperor Wu City, and ordered: "Exchange them all for spirit stones, and then purchase the materials needed for refining. There is no need to deliberately collect the medicinal materials for the soul-melting pill. Whatever you need is fine.”
A strong man from Emperor Wu City took these things, nodded and left.
Master Qingming asked again: "Are you really okay?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Of course nothing will happen. It will take at least two months to refine the immortal elixir, and I have to take the first elixir myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned.
One pill is not enough. Do you want to take another one? You know, Li Xiuping almost died when he ate one before. If this happened again, how could he survive?
Li Xiuping didn't explain too much, but said: "Give me a secluded place, and no one will disturb me in the past two months."
The Lingxiao faction nodded in agreement and began to make arrangements.
At this time, He Feng and Gao Yunmian came forward at the same time and asked in unison: "Are you okay?"
Li Xiuping smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing serious, just take a rest for a while."
After receiving Li Xiuping's answer, the two of them seemed to feel relieved. Gao Yunmian said at this time: "News just came from the north and the situation is not optimistic, so I may have to leave. Everything here is almost arranged. , but there are some omissions, and you still have to check and fill in the gaps."
Li Xiuping was stunned, but he didn't expect Gao Yunmian to leave so soon.
Gao Yunmian continued: "Also, I may have to take away some alchemists and weapon refiners, especially the weapon refiners. After all, no one in the north can refine those things. If I want to teach others, I'm afraid I have to A lot of time.”
Li Xiuping nodded, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
Nowadays, among the four major cities, the situation in Emperor Wu City is the worst. Now some alchemists and weapon refiners have to be transferred. This will make the situation in Emperor City even worse. But there is nothing that can be done about it, not only in the north, but also in the south. I'm afraid Bian will come to ask for help soon, and the situation in Emperor Wu City will only get worse by then.
There are countless strong men on the front line to provide constant support, but even if new alchemists and weapon refiners are sent here, they will not be able to master the refining of the weapon immediately, and he will have to take action personally.
For a moment, Li Xiuping felt that the burden on his body was much heavier.
He really didn't want to get involved in these things before, but now that he has suffered several battles in succession, and has gained some understanding of the whole situation, he finds that it is impossible for him to escape. This is also the reason why he did not want to know about the situation related to the demons before. location.
It doesn't matter if you don't know some things, but if you really know them, you can't pretend not to know them.
He said before that those strong people in the distraction stage still took the pills even though they knew there was something wrong with them, but why wasn't he just like those people, helpless?
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Li Xiuping began to retreat, trying to recover his body as soon as possible, and then refine the soul-melting pill.
According to another Li Xiuping, as long as they take one more soul-melting pill, they will be able to fuse. By then, although they will appear unchanged on the surface, their strength will be able to reach the distraction stage.
The previous encounters had made it clear to him that even if he was in the rear and did not have to go to the front line to fight, there would still be many dangers, especially now that he had refined the Soul Fusion Pill, and because of the Soul Fusion Pill's For this reason, many strong men in the distraction stage joined the battle. The demons would never sit still and wait for death, and the dangers he would have to face next would never be less.
The best way to deal with these dangers is to improve your own strength. Otherwise, even if you are protected by strong men, your life will still be in danger. These battles are the best proof.
Now he no longer has those immortal treasures with him before, and because he swallowed the soul-melting pill before, not only did he suffer heavy losses, but the other Li Xiuping also suffered heavy losses, so before the fusion, the other Li Xiuping did not I can't continue to help him solve his troubles.
In other words, he now has no other option but to swallow another soul-melting pill and complete the fusion in advance.
After entering the room arranged by the Lingxiao Sect, Li Xiuping abandoned all distracting thoughts and devoted himself to his body, finding out every problem in the body one by one, and then solving them one by one.
This process is not only tedious, but also extremely painful.
Because of the repairs in the previous three days, these injuries have basically healed, but this healing was to save lives at the time and was not completely resolved. To completely resolve, this healing must be destroyed and then completely resolved. solve.
In other words, every time of healing is equivalent to repeating the previous injury process, and the pain that needs to be endured can be imagined.
At the beginning, Li Xiuping couldn't bear the pain at all, and almost fainted several times. Fortunately, the willow tree kept working, allowing him to stay clear, plus the Yuan Dan and the dragon soul. , which relieved him a lot of pain.
After a few times, he gradually became accustomed to the process of reshaping his body, so the speed was much faster. However, this situation did not last forever, because with the continuous destruction and repair again and again, even if Li Xiuping continued to I can bear it, but I am really afraid of that feeling.
It felt like taking a medicine. It was unbearable at first. As I took it, I gradually got used to the bitter and unpleasant taste. As time went on, I started to smell that smell every time. , will cause nausea directly.
Some people died, but not completely...
