After Li Xiuping arrived at Puyun Mountain, many powerful men from the academy quickly followed him, and then they all walked towards the main hall.
In the main hall, Li Xiuping sat with the old Confucian scholar from before. In addition, there were also the head of Puyun Mountain and several elders of Puyun Mountain.
The first person to enter the main hall was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He was a swordsman who was at the peak of the divine transformation stage.
After entering the main hall, this man bowed to Li Xiuping and the old Confucian scholar and said, "Disciple has met Master Yu and Master Li."
Before Li Xiuping could speak, the old Confucian scholar smiled and said: "This is Changqiao, a disciple of Junior Brother Chen. Like Junior Brother and Junior Brother Qi, they are both swordsmen with good talents. You also know that Junior Brother Qi has a higher eye than his head." , but he can appreciate it and even give pointers, so it’s definitely not bad.”
Li Xiuping nodded.
The old Confucian scholar continued: "Junior Brother Qi said that your understanding of the sword is better than his. If you have time, why not give him some advice?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "You can't believe everything that Senior Brother Qi says. Besides, asking me to teach others is really embarrassing for me. I don't know how to deal with my two apprentices now."
The old Confucian scholar said with a smile: "Those two little girls are amazing, they are already in the Golden Core stage now. The eleven-year-old Golden Core, tsk tsk, looking at the entire cultivation world, I really can't find a third one."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Is Yang Erni also a golden elixir?"
The old Confucian scholar nodded and said: "Chu Yan's front legs were forming elixirs in Guanchao Pavilion, and her back legs were forming elixirs in her own yard. The difference between the two periods was only half a year. The key point is, these two girls have no one to guide them. One has been working like a day for five years. , just climbed the stairs tirelessly, and one of them just hid in the room and read a book. To be honest, no one in the entire academy expected that they would suddenly form pills."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I'm afraid that girl Chu Yan climbed up the stairs just to hide from others. Her real purpose should be to steal the book."
The old Confucian scholar was stunned, looked at Li Xiuping with some astonishment, and asked: "How does the junior brother know?"
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Erni's ability to form a pill means that she has been exposed to the classics in Guanchao Pavilion. She has the sword intention that I left in her body. As long as she can find a way to unlock the seal, let alone form a pill." , there will be no problem even if she enters Nascent Soul, but that girl has a more stable temperament, so she should be suppressed."
The old Confucian scholar nodded and said, "That's it."
Li Xiuping continued: "As for that girl Chu Yan, her talent is indeed rare, but it is basically impossible to form pills without anyone's guidance, so the one who gives her guidance must be her senior sister."
The old Confucian scholar smiled and said: "Junior brother is worthy of being their master. His calculations are really not bad at all."
Li Xiuping smiled slightly.
At this time, the Confucian scholar said: "The two junior sisters are already very powerful, but I wouldn't be able to do it."
He said with some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of Uncle Li's jokes. When Junior Sister Chu was forming elixirs, I also climbed the stairs. I only climbed the stairs for half a year and found nothing, so I gave up."
The old Confucian scholar smiled and said: "He is the one who has persisted the longest, but Junior Brother Qi said that he does not have a hundred years of accumulation, so it is impossible for him to be distracted, but he only wants to break through."
The Confucian scholar said: "There are so many things going on in the academy now, and the disciples want to help more."
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Help me, please don't cause trouble for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old gentleman walked into the hall, saluted Li Xiuping and the old Confucian scholars next to Li Xiuping, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and my junior brother has become stronger again. This makes us old guys It’s a bit of a shock.”
This person was the strong man from the academy who came to accept the Puyun Mountain matter, and Li Xiuping had met him before.
Behind him, there are many powerful men from the academy.
Li Xiuping and the old Confucian scholar both stood up and returned the greeting without saying anything.
The old man who entered the door asked: "I heard that my junior brother is going to solve the problem of the secret realm?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "If this secret realm is not solved, it will be a trouble sooner or later. It just so happens that the situation is stable now, so we can solve it easily."
With that said, Li Xiuping motioned for everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, tea began to be served from Puyun Mountain, and Li Xiuping spoke first: "I called a few senior brothers here this time just to ask them for their opinions on how to deal with the secret realm. Everyone can talk about it.”
Everyone looked at each other and started talking.
After a long while, the old Confucian scholar said: "Regarding this matter, the academy has actually made some preparations, but they are not appropriate, so this matter has been postponed again and again, and it has not been dealt with until now. This matter was originally due to It is most appropriate for the junior brother to get up and deal with it. However, now that something like this happened in Tianzen Temple, the junior junior brother is not in a good situation. If he stays here at this time, if something happens, I am afraid... …”
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "The matter of Tianchan Temple is indeed a trouble, but it should not have much impact on the disposal of the ruins. Speaking of this matter, I really can't understand why Tianchan Temple paid such a high price. What is it for? If it is to kill me, Tianchan Temple does not need to do this. After all, it is impossible for the person behind this not to know. In that case, the possibility of killing me is too low. "
Everyone was looking at Li Xiuping. Even he himself didn't know, and it was even less likely that they would know.
They actually couldn't figure out what happened to Tianchan Temple, and they didn't even know what it was about. But since Li Xiuping said it wasn't him, they naturally believed Li Xiuping, because in their opinion , this junior brother really has no reason to do that.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Li Xiuping smiled helplessly, forgetting that although they were his senior brothers, the things they had access to were actually not much better than him, or even less.
The old man surnamed Chen said: "It is obviously not worth sacrificing a Tianchan Temple to pit the entire Buddhist sect against my junior brother. After all, even if it is to deal with Confucianism, such a sacrifice is too great."
The old man named Yu said: "I'm afraid this is the real purpose."
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but look at the old man named Yu, including Li Xiuping.
The old man surnamed Yu continued: "Everyone thinks that it is not worthwhile for Buddhism to do this, and there is no reason to do it, but they do it. Then in the eyes of others, the junior brother is the culprit of all this. In this way, Come on, it’s not just Taoism and Buddhism that are opposed to my junior brother, but…”
He didn't say anything further. Li Xiuping took over and said, "The whole world."
The old man named Yu nodded, his face looking a little heavy.
The old man surnamed Chen said: "If you really die like that, it will indeed be a big trouble. I am afraid that the entire Confucian family will be greatly affected."
Everyone nodded at the same time.
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "At worst, I'll just have to distance myself from Confucianism."
Everyone couldn't help but frown, and the old man named Chen said: "I didn't mean that, little junior brother..."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "I know, but you can't really involve the entire Confucian family because of me. Now the demon clan's matter has not been completely resolved. If the Confucian family confronts the entire world because of this, no matter what the final result is, it will be It will only be the demons who will benefit. Of course, it may also be the mastermind behind this."
He continued: "It obviously doesn't take so much trouble to deal with me alone. I'm afraid its real purpose is not me, but the entire Confucianism."
The old man surnamed Yu said: "Regarding this matter, it is best for me, junior brother, to return to the academy and listen to the opinions of the mountain master. What he sees and thinks must be more profound than us."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the secret realm first."
Everyone stopped continuing this topic and fell into thinking again.
The old man surnamed Chen asked: "How confident is my junior brother?"
Li Xiuping replied: "Solving those magic weapons is not a problem, it just takes some time. As for the secret realm, in fact, as long as the magic weapons in it are solved, the existence of the secret realm will not have much meaning."
The old man surnamed Chen nodded and said: "If junior brother is really sure, then junior brother will act according to his own ideas. If you have any needs, just tell us, but junior brother it is best to tell the academy about the specific plan. It’s best to get the mountain owner’s permission.”
That being said, in fact, they all know very well that it is useless for the mountain master to agree or object to what this junior brother wants to do. Of course, the mountain master knows this better than anyone else, so for this The mountain master will definitely not object to this junior brother's decision.
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "That's fine. I just need some time to prepare."
Li Xiuping looked at the head of Puyun Mountain and said, "Senior, please help me find some weapon refiners. The level doesn't have to be too high, as long as you know how to refine weapons."
The head of Puyun Mountain stood up and saluted, nodded and said, "Okay."
He then asked: "I wonder how much Mr. Li needs?"
Li Xiuping thought for a moment and said: "At least a hundred people, of course, the more the better."
Hearing this, the head of Puyun Mountain was obviously in a dilemma. Although there were no specific requirements for a hundred weapon refiners, it was not easy to find so many people.
Li Xiuping seemed to understand his difficulty and said with a smile: "As long as we can find them all in three months."
When the head of Puyun Mountain heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. If it is three months, then it can still be done, but everyone in the academy frowned, because this means that this junior brother will stay here for at least three months.
The key is that these three months are just preparations, not actually dealing with the ruins.
Although this junior brother said before that it would delay a lot of time, now it seems that this "a lot" is much more than they imagined.
When this junior brother went south, he already had a lot of things to do. Now that he is back, apart from the Tianchan Temple, the best way is to return to the academy as soon as possible to ensure the greatest possible safety. This is also the reason why they are doing this this time. The reason for welcoming Li Xiuping and showing the academy's attitude.
If they knew that this young junior brother would stay here for so long, they wouldn't have to do what they did before. Doesn't this mean that they told the entire cultivation world that Li Xiuping did not return to the academy, but stayed in this small Puyun Mountain?
Isn't this superfluous?
