After listening to Li Xiuping's words, Master Qingming was first puzzled, then shocked, and finally admired.
He knew very well how tempting those two treasures were, because even he couldn't help but be tempted.
An immortal treasure with amazing defense, and an immortal treasure that can directly attack the soul. One attack and one defense, and they cooperate with each other perfectly. Having these two treasures will greatly improve one's own strength.
The key is that aside from these two immortal treasures, Li Xiuping had previously refined demonic energy and improved his own realm a lot. Moreover, when he came to this ruins this time, in addition to wanting to get rid of potential threats, In fact, I just want to see if I can get any benefits that can improve my strength in this secret realm.
You must know that Li Xiuping was unable to practice on this journey due to his health. Not only was his level of strength affected, but he was also unable to replenish it through practice. It would be difficult for anyone to endure it. This is why Li Xiuping found that he was refining those demons. When Qi can improve one's own cultivation, it is also the reason for showing excitement.
But now, whether it was fairy treasures or demonic energy, they were all placed in front of him, but he gave up directly. If he really wanted to leave like this, no one would be able to do such a thing.
In fact, let alone others, let's take him as an example. If he was in the same situation as Li Xiuping, he felt that he might not be able to make a decision like Li Xiuping's.
After all, if those fairy treasures were in the hands of others, they might become the targets of the demons. But Li Xiuping was different, because he had always been the target of the demons. One or two more demon treasures would have no impact at all.
Furthermore, Li Xiuping can improve his own cultivation by refining demonic energy and is not affected by the demonic energy. Naturally, he does not have to worry about the demonic energy having any impact on him. But even so, Li Xiuping still made such a decision to let He, an old swordsman who has been practicing for thousands of years, has to admire him.
To be able to withstand such a huge temptation, this kind of mentality is not something that ordinary people can possess.
No wonder he was able to become Mr. Ouye's disciple and have the Jiu Xian personally take care of him. No wonder he could reach the height that everyone looks up to now with a body without spiritual roots. There may be luck and fate in this, but it is definitely not all.
Li Xiuping had no intention of taking away those immortal treasures, so he naturally no longer had such thoughts and followed Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping said as he moved forward: "If it were before, I would definitely take those things with me and even practice in this ruins for a while, but what the demon cultivator said before reminded me."
Layman Qingming was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "Whether it's the demon clan or the fairy world, I know very little after all. Refining demonic energy can improve my strength, and it doesn't seem to have any impact on me, but improving my strength itself is an impact."
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and continued: "For me now, the temptation to improve my strength is too great. Apart from that, I'm afraid there are very few real objects that can tempt me. Then this will Isn’t it also the purpose of the demons?”
The layman Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then he was startled.
Indeed, although the previous refining of demonic energy had no impact on Li Xiuping, if Li Xiuping continued to refine the demonic energy and refined more and more demonic energy, would there be any impact?
Of course, no one can guarantee this, because not even Li Xiuping himself can guarantee it.
And by that time, even if the influence is discovered, Li Xiuping is probably already deeply involved. No matter how hard it is to extricate himself, then by that time, there will be no difference between Li Xiuping and those demonic cultivators.
As the demon cultivator said, when they came into contact with the demon clan's secret method just now, they didn't know that it was the demon clan's secret method. The only thing they knew was that the secret method could make them stronger and help them improve their strength. Now Li Xiuping Why not?
As Li Xiuping said, he is no different from Guo Huai and others. Guo Huai can be related to the demons just because he accidentally entered this secret realm, so why should he, Li Xiuping, be an exception?
Before Guo Huai entered this secret realm, he was just an ordinary monk. But after entering this secret realm, he came into contact with the demon secrets and became a monk who practices the demons' secrets. This may not even be possible for him. He never thought that Li Xiuping would do the same thing.
Everything comes from temptation, and the hardest thing for people to endure is the temptation that just suits them.
For some people, beauty is a temptation, and for some people, money is a temptation. Compared to people like Li Xiuping, the temptation is naturally strength, an immortal weapon and a spiritual treasure.
Whatever you need will be given to you, so many people who are tempted often don't know that they have been tempted at the beginning. By the time they find out, it has already caused irreparable consequences.
Not everyone is as lucky as Guo Huai to meet a Li Xiuping who can rescue him from that situation.
It is precisely because the temptation Li Xiuping suffered is more subtle and difficult to detect, and precisely because he himself is indeed different from Guo Huai and others, so once he is tempted, he may not be able to find anyone who can save him.
Regardless of whether he is overthinking it or not, Li Xiuping must maintain boundaries with the demons and must not let himself fall into an irreversible situation because of the temptation he is facing now.
The layman Qingming said with a smile: "It is said that the authorities are confused, and bystanders know better. Even I didn't think of this step, but you did. No wonder the demons spent so much effort to get rid of you. If I were a threat like you, , I can’t sleep well either.”
Li Xiuping said, "But if it's not, then I've really missed out on a lot of good things."
As he said that, he looked back, feeling a little nostalgic.
How could he not know the benefits of those fairy treasures, but he only took a glance at them. If he looked more, he would be afraid of turning back.
After leaving the ruins, layman Qingming personally arranged the seal to prevent outsiders from breaking in again.
A restriction placed by a sword cultivator in the Fusion stage. Even if someone really knows where this secret realm is, it will be very difficult to enter, because breaking the restriction requires at least the strength of the Fusion stage. Strong people in the Fusion stage cannot be found just by looking. Yes, it goes without saying in the world of human cultivation. As for the demon clan, if they can really produce a strong person in the integration stage, they will not invest so many fairy treasures in a monk in the distraction stage.
In other words, apart from waiting for Guanchao Academy to come over and take over this secret realm, it is impossible for anyone to break the restriction and enter it in the short term.
After doing all this, Li Xiuping and others returned directly to Evergreen City. Now that so much time has passed, a separate courtyard should have been built in Evergreen City. It's time to go back and hand over it. After settling Chu Yan's mother, she can continue her journey south.
Before leaving, Li Xiuping sent a letter to the elder of the academy in Puyun Mountain, explaining the situation here. In this way, the matter at Tianchan Temple could be considered satisfactorily resolved.
Although Li Xiuping no longer has to deliberately stay on the ground, it still requires the use of Yanxin's power, and it can only temporarily suppress the changes in the body, which is thankless, so the two of them still choose to walk.
It took more than half a month to come here because I needed to help Guo Huai deal with his physical condition. He kept walking around, so naturally it wouldn't take that long to go back. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to return to Evergreen City in ten days. It's just that there was a large group of people when we came, but now there are only two people and one beast when we go back, which seems a bit deserted.
…
Evergreen City.
According to Li Xiuping's drawings, the government worked hard day and night, and it took less than twenty days to complete the construction of the other courtyard in accordance with Li Xiuping's requirements. Moreover, they were worried that Li Xiuping would not be satisfied, so after the construction was completed, they started over again. Check all over.
Chu Yan didn't expect to be able to see the appearance of her home here. She knew that this was Master's painstaking efforts, so she couldn't help but miss Master at this moment.
She has not been separated from Li Xiuping for so long since she followed him. Almost a month has passed, but the master still hasn't come back, so while he misses her, he can't help but worry.
She knew that Master's trip must be dangerous, otherwise Master would not have left them behind, because in the past, Master would have taken this opportunity to let them increase their knowledge and hone their cultivation.
So it was boring to stay in the yard, so she took Yang Erni with her and walked towards the streets of Evergreen City, hoping to see the master.
Yang Erni originally didn't want to go, but she couldn't stand Chu Yan's hard work and various temptations, so she had to compromise in the end.
Originally it was Chu Yan who said she was going to wait for the master, but when she got to the street, it was Yang Erni who still remembered the master. Chu Yan had already completely forgotten about the master because of the dazzling array of things on the street, so she took Yang Erni to look at this. , take a look at that later.
But it was probably heading towards Xicheng, so the route didn't deviate, and we arrived in the direction of Xicheng unknowingly.
At the city gate, people were coming and going, but there was no trace of the master.
Maybe she was tired from walking, so Yang Erni walked to the side of the stairs and sat down. Because she was too idle, she occasionally looked up in the direction of the city gate.
Of course she also missed Master and was worried about Master.
Because of the existence of the master, she can have the life she has today and have expectations for the future. At least there is one person in the world who hopes that she will become better and gives her hope. Without the master, she really doesn’t know who she is. How to live in the future.
She likes to practice, not because she wants to become stronger, to satisfy her master, or to impress others. She just thinks that practice is interesting and something that she can strive for her whole life. But she also knew very well that only the master in the world was willing to teach her how to practice and teach her how to practice, because her talent was so poor that others simply looked down on her and would not waste time on her.
In addition, she doesn't like those so-called cultivators.
In this world, except Master, he dislikes all practitioners, including the junior sister and those around Master.
This junior sister is very kind to her, but this junior sister is so talented. Every time she stands with her, her clumsiness and her worthlessness will be highlighted. So although she is not jealous of this junior sister, it does not mean that she must You must like this junior sister.
As for the monks around the master, they were naturally very good to her, but that was all because of the master. Without the master, they would not see themselves any differently from the other monks.
So once something happens to the master, this junior sister can still have a good place to go, and at least her mother will care about her, but she has nothing but the master, she only has the master.
Chu Yan couldn't be like Yang Erni, who could sit in one place all the time and look dull. She preferred to move. She couldn't sit still for a moment anyway, so she ran towards the city gate at this moment. After looking at it for a while, she went to Run back, and the speed of running back is faster than the initial speed of running out.
She said she was waiting for the master, but it seemed more like she didn't want the master to come back right away, because then she could play on the street for a while longer.
Yang Erni sat at the foot of the steps, her head lowered, wondering what she was thinking.
At this time, a broken piece of silver was suddenly thrown in front of her, and Yang Erni looked up.
I saw a young man say: "It's really pitiful to be reduced to a beggar at such a young age."
Yang Erni stood up and said coldly: "I'm not a beggar, I'm just waiting for my master to take back your dirty money."
As he said that, he kicked the silver fragment away with one kick.
She was really angry, or more accurately scared.
If something really happened to the master, then she would really become a beggar in the future, because besides begging, she didn't know what else she could do. She was afraid that such a thing would happen, but some people always seemed to hope that such a thing would happen.
The young man didn't seem to expect that the little girl would react so strongly. He frowned slightly. The key was that there were so many people watching around him, which made him a little embarrassed. He said coldly: "What a ungrateful guy. I am giving alms to you." You, just take it, even if you are not a beggar, who would think that you have too much money? Besides, I said you are a beggar, you are a beggar. Let me see, your master is afraid that you are a burden, so he gave you a Otherwise, with your talent, unless your master is blind, he would bring a burden like you with him."
Yang Erni actually thought about this possibility, because before the master left, although he was going to do something, he didn't say what it was, and except for them, he took almost everyone with him, leaving only one old Taoist with the weakest strength. People, the key is that they also built courtyards, which are obviously for people to live in.
Of course, it is impossible for the master to live here, because the master has said before that he will go south, so isn't such a good house built now just for them?
It's just that she doesn't believe that the master is that kind of person, and even if the master really thinks that she is a burden, he will not keep Chu Yan. After all, compared with her, Chu Yan is one of the kind of geniuses that countless people want to pass on. The existence of the mantle means that even for Chu Yan, there are still people who are willing to take such a burden on her.
Now that this person said this, her worries were piqued again. The seal left by Li Xiuping in her body suddenly began to loosen, and a violent aura instantly filled her body, so that her eyes became blood red.
But to outsiders, it looked like she was about to burst into tears because something was said to her.
After what happened last time, Yang Erni had stabilized her mind. With the seals left by Li Xiuping, there would basically be no problems. Moreover, if Yang Erni hadn't unlocked those seals by herself, even Li Xiuping would have to spend a lot of money. A lot of effort.
Now because of such an incident, the seal can be loosened, which shows how much Yang Erni cares about this matter. Of course, this is also her opportunity.
Because if she didn't meet the opportunity, no matter how much she cared about what the other party said, she wouldn't be able to loosen the seal with her current cultivation.
Yang Erni's eyes were red and she rushed towards the young man.
The young man obviously didn't care. He turned slightly and easily avoided Yang Erni's attack. He was obviously a practitioner, and his level was far above Yang Erni, otherwise he wouldn't have seen Yang Erni's talent at a glance.
After dodging Yang Erni's attack, he snorted coldly, grabbed Yang Erni's wrist, then moved back, pushed forward, and threw Yang Erni directly. On the other hand, he said: "I kindly gave you alms, but you actually repaid me with kindness. For a person like you, it's no wonder that your master left you behind."
The young man threw Yang Erni so hard that there was blood on the corners of Yang Erni's mouth, but Yang Erni didn't care. She got up from the ground and rushed towards the young man again. She was even more powerful than before, with blood all over her body. There is even a profound sword intention emerging.
The young man frowned slightly, but he didn't care much. He snorted coldly: "Since you are seeking death, I will help you."
After saying that, he made a fist with his right hand and punched out. Suddenly, the fist suddenly appeared, and he turned out to be a martial arts monk, and his cultivation level was obviously not low.
In Yang Erni's current situation, if she really received such a punch, even if she didn't die, the mysterious artistic conception in her body at the moment would probably be shattered, and her future cultivation would be irreparably affected.
At this time, another little girl suddenly appeared, stopping Yang Erni with one hand, and making a fist with the other hand and punching the young man's fist.
With a muffled sound, the two little girls stepped back at the same time. Chu Yan's small fists were even more bloody, and the bones of her arms were shattered, but she gritted her teeth and hid her hand. Behind him, the other hand was holding Yang Erni, staring at the young man with his eyes.
The young man obviously didn't expect that such a little girl would suddenly appear, let alone that such a small girl could block his punch.
This shows that this little girl is at least in the Qi refining stage.
At such a young age, he has already reached the Qi refining stage. This kind of talent can be called a peerless genius, so the young man felt a little solemn for a while.
There must be many powerful people behind such a genius, and he might be a disciple of a large sect. It would not be a good thing if he offended someone he shouldn't offend.
His master said that those old guys in the cultivation world don't like to reason. If they really want to beat the younger ones, the older ones will definitely jump out. If his master can smooth things over, it's okay. If he can't, then he will I'm afraid I'll have to pay the price.
Chu Yan obviously knew that she was no match and shouted directly: "Help me!"
After the words fell, a strong wind appeared, and then an old Taoist appeared beside the two little girls. After seeing the situation of the two little girls, he couldn't help but frown...
