Seeing these Kongyun Sect disciples, Li Xiuping suddenly had an idea in his mind. Since the other party wanted to use huge monsters to stop them from going south, why not use the same method to deal with those monsters.
The overall strength of those monsters is not very strong, but they are superior in numbers, and they rely on the advantage of the river water, so even they have some trouble dealing with them.
In this case, he can completely rely on the cultivators nearby and use these forces to contain those monsters. When the time comes, it will be difficult to stop them from going south with just those monsters, and the people behind them will have to show up. .
As long as the person behind it appears, as long as the person behind it is eliminated, those monsters will no longer be a threat, and the trouble encountered this time will naturally be solved.
It's just that it's somewhat unkind to do this, but these practitioners are not good people. Since they like to gain fame with the slogan of exterminating demons and defending the Tao, then I should help them and let them eliminate demons and defend the Tao at one time.
Li Xiuping smiled and replied: "I am in the foundation building stage. Those two children have no cultivation level, but they can be regarded as practitioners. As for these seniors, they are all in the golden elixir stage."
The man glanced at everyone and frowned slightly.
There are six people in total, three of them are in the Golden Core stage and only one is in the Foundation Establishment stage. Doesn’t that mean that this group of people has no money to earn at all?
According to the rules set by their own Kongyun Sect, as long as they reach the Golden Core stage, they will not take any money from them. Even one Golden Core stage can bring an ordinary person, while the foundation-building stage monks will take half.
Now that there are six people on the other side, half of them are Golden Core Stage cultivators, so the remaining three, no matter what their cultivation level, naturally do not have to pay. Although it is depressing, rules are rules, and they, as disciples, naturally do not dare to violate them.
The man smiled and said: "Golden elixir stage monks need confirmation from the elders of our sect. If it is confirmed that there is no problem, and there are already three golden elixir stage powerhouses among us, then according to the rules of our Kongyun Sect, there is no need to pay. "
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "The rules of your Kongyun Sect are quite interesting. But there is no need to confirm. There are six of us, with a total of thirty spiritual stones. You can count them."
With that said, he took out thirty spiritual stones.
The disciple of the Kongyun Sect couldn't help but frown. Is there such a good thing in this world? There is no need to pay, and the other party insists on giving him money. You know, he can keep this money in his own pocket.
Thirty spiritual stones are enough to buy a decent spiritual treasure, which is really not a small amount of money. It's just that there must be a demon to use abnormality. Either these people have not reached the golden elixir stage at all, are guilty and are afraid of verification, or they have some purpose. If something goes wrong because of this, it will definitely affect the reputation of the Kongyun Sect. He couldn't afford it.
Although thirty spiritual stones were a lot, they were not enough to make him take risks. He shook his head and said: "This is the rule of the sect. Young master, please don't make things difficult for me."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "Then just pretend that we don't have the golden elixir level."
The man still shook his head and said: "When crossing the river, the strength of the people crossing the river needs to be distributed. This is also to ensure that everyone can cross the river safely, so some of you who really want to cross the river with me, Hongyun Sect, Jiang, please follow the rules of our Kongyun Sect."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Your Kongyun Sect has too many rules. Please lead the way."
The man smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Please come over here."
He said leading the way, and Li Xiuping and others followed behind.
Chu Yan and Yang Erni really couldn't understand Li Xiuping's actions. It was true that their master was in the foundation building stage, but that was the most powerful foundation building stage in the world. Master Huo Ling was indeed in the golden elixir stage. There was no problem with that, but over there The Bishui Qilin is in the divine transformation stage, and as for the Qingming layman, he is even more powerful in the integration stage. Why does the master say that their realm is so low?
Moreover, the two of them are not ordinary people. They are still in the Qi training period after all. I heard that person talk about their rules before, and thought that they could finally give their master some money. Who would have thought that the master actually has a lot of money? There is no place to spend it, and others don’t want it, so they have to give it to others.
However, Master had a reason for doing this, so of course they wouldn't say anything else, lest they ruin Master's plan.
Under the leadership of that person, everyone came to a courtyard, where there was a flow of people coming in and out.
There is a table on the steps in the middle of the courtyard. At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard is sitting behind the table, registering something. In front of the table, there are countless people lining up in a long queue.
After the man brought Li Xiuping and others here, he smiled and said: "Please wait a moment, I will inform the elders right now."
Li Xiuping nodded.
After the man left, Li Xiuping said: "Suppress your realm for a while, don't let the other party see the clues."
Everyone nodded at the same time.
Master Qingming asked with a smile: "Do you want to use these forces to deal with those monsters?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Those monsters are not very strong. The trouble is that they are numerous and rely on the river. If these forces can be used to deal with those monsters, then the people behind them will inevitably show up. At least you don’t have to be as passive as you are now.”
He glanced left and right, and then said: "I took a look when I entered the city. There is not only the Hongyun Sect here, but a combination of many forces. It can be seen that the demon in the river has indeed existed for a long time, and these The forces have nothing to do with these monsters, and we can easily solve the problems that have troubled these forces for many years, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Master Qingming nodded and said, "This is indeed a solution."
While they were talking, an old man walked out of the main hall. After looking around, he walked straight towards Li Xiuping and others, saluted and said, "I have kept you Taoist friends waiting for a long time."
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said, "It didn't take long."
The old man asked: "I heard that some of you want to verify your cultivation?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "We wanted to go south, but we heard that there was a monster in the river. We happened to find out that there was a sect here responsible for escorting, so we came over to take a look. It was because we were bringing two children with us and we were worried about something happening. It’s good to have other people taking care of you.”
The old man glanced at Chu Yan and Yang Erni, nodded and said: "That's true. A few fellow Taoists don't know that the monster in the river is really ferocious, and it has become more and more rampant in recent years. Even if the sects like us join forces, we can't do anything to it." There is no way.”
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Is it really that serious?"
The old man nodded, looking a little bitter.
He continued: "A few fellow Taoists are here to invite you."
After saying that, he led everyone into the main hall. After everyone sat down, someone immediately brought tea. The old man said: "Please let some of you relax. After I determine your specific cultivation level, I can make arrangements."
Li Xiuping nodded and took the lead in releasing his breath.
There is nothing much to say about the cultivation during the Foundation Establishment period and the aura during the Foundation Establishment period.
After Li Xiuping released his breath, there was someone next to him to register, and then Master Huo Ling also released his breath. He was also at the Golden Core stage, and there was nothing wrong with the Golden Core stage breath.
As a strong man in the integration stage, it is naturally not difficult for Qingming Jieji to hide his strength in front of these people. He wants these people to see what realm he is, and that is what realm he is. Finally, there is the blue water unicorn, and the other party does not have it. Any doubt.
In fact, the three golden elixir stage monks are already considered to be powerful beings. Such people can completely cross the river by themselves, because after reaching the golden elixir stage, they can fly in the air and completely avoid the monsters in the water. However, this group of people brought a foundation-building period and two children.
Everyone knows that monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot control the sky, and although monks in the Golden Core Stage can control the sky, they cannot bring others to control the sky unless they reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
This also just confirms the fact that these people need help. After all, if there is a strong Nascent Soul stage among this group of people, there is no need to come to them for help.
After everyone's strength was determined, one person took out a sign and handed it to everyone.
The old man said at this time: "We will cross the river early tomorrow morning. This is the certificate for us to board the spirit boat. One thing I must explain is that monsters have been rampant in the river recently. If you are unlucky and encounter monsters, please give me some advice." Don’t hold back, only by working together can we cross the river safely.”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "This is natural."
The old man nodded and said no more.
Seeing that the old man had no intention of testing their aura, Chu Yan felt that she had been slighted and asked in a low voice: "Master, we don't need to test?"
Li Xiuping asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Yan stuck out her tongue and lowered her head.
Li Xiuping stood up and said: "In that case, the inferiors will not disturb the seniors."
The old man stood up to see him off.
After Li Xiuping and others left, a monk ran in panting and saluted: "Elder, something happened."
The old man frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The man took a breath and said, "To the west... there is a demon trouble in the west."
The old man said calmly: "Isn't it normal for monsters to occur? When has there been no monsters in the past two years?"
The man shook his head and said: "No, this time it will be much more serious, and..."
The old man frowned and said, "And what?"
The man then said: "According to the news just sent back, at least a thousand monster beasts appeared in the west, and at least hundreds of them died. Just before sunset, a big battle happened fifty miles away in the west. How could it be possible to do so in such a situation? To kill so many monsters in a short period of time, the person coming here must be at least in the God Transformation stage."
The old man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is the news accurate?"
The man nodded and said: "It's the news from Fengxia Mountain. We have sent people to confirm it now, and the news should be sent back soon."
The old man thought: "If this is true, most of the monsters should have been led to the west. In this way, it will be much easier for us to cross the river tomorrow."
He continued: "Go and confirm, be sure to clarify the specific situation."
The man responded, turned around and ran out.
The old man said to himself: "Who could be a strong man who is at least in the God Transformation stage? We don't have such strong people in our area, and most of the God Transformation stages have already gone to the demon battlefield. They shouldn't ah."
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason, so the old man could only give up and continue to wait for news about his disciples...
After Li Xiuping and others left the yard, they realized that they needed to find a place to stay. It was already completely dark now, and the town was not big but there were many people. It might not be easy to find a place to stay.
Just as Li Xiuping was worried, he searched almost all over the town and couldn't find a place to live.
At this moment, Li Xiuping and others arrived at the last inn in the small town. Whether they would sleep on the street tonight would depend on whether this hotel had any vacancies.
After walking into the inn, Li Xiuping felt that there was little chance of leaving a vacant room, because this small inn was already crowded with people, and the key was that there were still people going outside.
Seeing Li Xiuping and others coming in, a servant came up to him with a smile on his face and asked with a smile: "What do the guests want to eat?"
It happened that everyone hadn't eaten yet, so Li Xiuping said: "Just get something that can fill your stomach. By the way, do you still have any vacancies here?"
Xiaosi smiled and said: "Everyone has already decided at noon."
Li Xiuping smiled bitterly and found an empty seat to sit down.
At this time, a young man ran down anxiously. He happened to see Xiaosi greeting Li Xiuping and others, so he ran up and asked: "Man, I have something to go back to now. Do you think the room can be vacated?"
The waiter frowned and said, "All the guests have checked in, so they definitely can't return."
The young man looked really anxious and asked, "Can't you even withdraw half of it?"
The waiter shook his head and said: "This is the rule set by the shopkeeper. The young one is just an errand boy, so the guest officer should not embarrass the young one."
The young man frowned, glanced at Li Xiuping and others, and then asked: "Then there should be no problem if I transfer it to someone else, right?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "There's no problem with this. As long as someone is willing, our store won't say anything."
The man then looked at Li Xiuping and asked, "I heard that some of you are also looking for a place to live. It just so happens that I have something important to do and I have to rush back overnight. I will transfer the room to you. You only need to pay me half of the rent."
Li Xiuping asked: "How much?"
The young man stretched out a palm, hesitated for a moment, bent two fingers, and said, "Three taels of silver."
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Two liang."
Everyone was stunned, including Li Xiuping's two apprentices, especially Chu Yan, who really couldn't understand his master.
Previously, the people of the Kongyun Sect refused to accept money from him, but he insisted on giving money to others. Now this young man only wants three taels of silver, but the master wants to bargain. Could it be that in the eyes of the master, thirty spiritual stones are not worth three? Is two stripes of silver valuable?
The young man also frowned, then gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't really had something important to do, I wouldn't have done such a loss-making business. Nowadays, it's hard to find a house in this small town. As long as I have time, I can definitely transfer it." If you pay a good price, three taels of silver, you can’t afford any less.”
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Then just three or two."
"For five taels of silver, I want this room."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice, and then a man next door stood up and walked towards this side. He also took out five taels of silver and patted it directly into the young man's arms.
