"I said I won't kill you, so I won't kill you! Do you think I'm kidding you?" Li Xiu laughed even more and said: "Qizong, you are also a master of weapon refining, but you are actually scared to death by others. , I don’t even dare to say anything, this is not like you! Tell me, I, Li Xiu, have offended many people, including the Red Lotus Sect, Tianduyuan, the General’s Mansion, the Thirty-six Islands, and the princes of the imperial court. , where are my enemies? Now I have decided to compete with Penglai Xiandao. With me protecting you, what are you afraid of? Since you have the courage to ask for a quick death in front of me, why don't you have the courage to face that threat? Your enemy?"
"What did you say? You decided to compete with Penglai Immortal Island? Are you serious?" Qi Zong was surprised.
Li Xiu simply unlocked all the restrictions on Qi Zong. Qi Zong regained his ability to move, stood up and stared at Li Xiu, hoping to get the exact answer.
Li Xiu said with a strange expression: "From your tone, could it be that the person threatening you is a master from Penglai Immortal Island?"
"That's right! I didn't know who Penglai Immortal Island was before, but this year, I haven't had a good life, and I have seen how powerful they are, and then I discovered that our thirty-six islands in the Beiming Sea have Compared with other people's skills, the various cultivation methods are really far behind, especially the level of weapon refining, which is far behind others. Sure enough, each dynasty has its own ups and downs! The previous dynasty Daguan is known as the Age of Ending Dharma, but I was born in that dynasty, and I have never heard that there are powerful Dharma Doors like Penglai Island in the world. They have advanced Dharma Doors in many fields and have many fantastic ideas. I I think it shouldn't appear in this world!" Qi Zong said.
Li Xiudao: "It seems that in order to recruit you, their people have spent a lot of money to show you many valuable things. As you said, since Penglai Immortal Island has so many advanced methods, especially in your The same is true in the field of weapon refining. Logically speaking, you should have flocked to them and sharpened your head to get in, so why did you reject them?"
Qi Zong said: "When you reach my age, maybe you won't ask such a question! I have figured it out a long time ago. It's better to leave the killing to you young people. After all, I have seen through it a long time ago. A real problem, talented people emerge from generation to generation. Generally speaking, the young and powerful people in this era are much stronger than those in the previous dynasties. In terms of cultivation level, I have no intention and ability to compete for victory or defeat! The weapon refining technology mastered by Penglai Xiandao is far superior to mine, and it is for this reason that I refused."
Li Xiu said: "You don't play according to common sense. Could it be that you are mentally ill?" Li Xiu said bluntly.
Qi Zong said: "Don't you understand that if I completely master a technique like that, would I still be free? Although I am addicted to this technique, I don't want to be their slave. Besides, do you think that although their technique is strong? , is it so easy to master? As far as I know, once I agree to them, they will transform me. Without the cultivation of Nascent Soul stage, I am afraid it will be difficult to use their weapon refining technology flexibly. Think about it, I If I agree to them, even if I can refine a few incredible magic weapons, will they still be my magic weapons?"
Li Xiudao: "So you also know that they can transform people. It seems that Penglai Immortal Island needs to take some action recently, otherwise, they will not be eager for success and recruit talents everywhere! You are right, once you agree to them Under the conditions, great benefits will be obtained. Let’s not talk about the issue of cultivation resources. First of all, they can implant media boxes and artificial pseudo-Nascent Souls into people, which is what many people dream of. People like you can refuse them I’m afraid there aren’t many people.”
Qi Zong said: "I don't know much about the outside world, and I don't know how many people have chosen to reform. I only know one truth. Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them. I can't even think about it. If I join them, what will happen to me?" A road of no return, which is completely contrary to my principles!"
Li Xiudao: "Then if you are so taboo against them, why do you dare to say these things to me now?"
Qi Zong said: "Li Xiu, you are one of the few people I can respect. You have a pure yang constitution and have a natural affinity with me in refining weapons. Since you are determined to compete with Penglai Immortal Island, I am happy to help you." Give me a helping hand, anyway, I know that their people will not let me go sooner or later, so instead of waiting for them to lose their patience and die in their hands, it is better to take a gamble!"
Li Xiu finally understood what kind of person Qi Zong was. He was extremely arrogant in his heart. He was unwilling to lose his freedom and become someone else's slave in order to learn the techniques of Penglai Immortal Island, but this was only one of them. The most important point is that he wants more honors. Only fame can bring him honor. Today, the Weapon Sect chose him, which is indeed a gamble. But if he wins the bet, his name as the Weapon Refiner Master will definitely be lost. His record in history is naturally far from being comparable to that of Penglai Immortal Island, where he could at most contribute his own efforts and annihilate everyone else. In this world, apart from the Penglai Immortal Island, with his level of weapon refining, he would be treated as a guest of honor wherever he went.
"That's good!" Li Xiu said: "Instead of waiting for others to come to your door, why not take the initiative to lure out those people from Penglai Immortal Island who threaten you. If I guessed correctly, they should all be cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. Is that right?"
Qi Zong said: "Yes, they came to me three times in succession. However, when they saw that I did not slip up and went to other sects, they did not make it too difficult and still tried to persuade me. But I know that next time they come to me, Maybe they’ll take me away by force.”
"Why?" Li Xiu asked.
Qi Zong said: "The reason is very simple. I know that they are in urgent need of a group of craftsmen to refine an important magic weapon for them. They may take action in the near future. Therefore, I think that when they come next time, You won’t be polite to me anymore.”
"You are actually looking around for a magic weapon that can only be completed by the masters of weapon refining by working together? You know, after you are taken there, you will be implanted in the media box and become pseudo-Nascent Souls. With a group of masters of weapon refining at the level of pseudo-Nascent Soul, God knows what level of magic weapon we can complete together." Li Xiu thought about it seriously and continued: "Unless we capture a few of them and forcefully search their souls, we will definitely get the answer we want to know! Qi Zong, you still go. Do your thing and attract them to come. When the time comes, I will personally take action and arrest the fake Nascent Soul, and everything will be revealed!"
Qi Zong said: "No problem. Since you can trust me, I will naturally trust you, so I will leave first. If I am not wrong, their people will have to come to the door in as many as seven days and as little as three to five days." Come."
"If you encounter trouble, crush this piece of hairy blood jade. I can instantly sense it within a hundred miles!" Li Xiu handed Qi Zong a piece of hairy blood jade.
Qi Zong took the Mao Xue Jade, turned around and walked out without saying another word.
"Brother Li, I'm afraid this person cannot be trusted easily!" Zhang Xiong said suddenly.
"Why do you say that?" Li Xiu had a strange look on his face.
Zhang Xiong said: "This person obviously gave up Taoism and cultivated demons before he advanced to Lingjiu cultivation. His true energy is very mixed. Since you are so optimistic about his weapon refining cultivation, it means that he is indeed extraordinary, but his own strength is really not enough." Compliment. If he is as beautiful as he says, why is he like this?"
Li Xiudao: "What the old master said is not unreasonable. However, as the saying goes, do not trust people when you employ them, and do not trust people when you doubt them. Reputation is a very magical thing. It does not prevent me and him from testing each other this time."
Zhang Xiong said: "Brother Li, you are very talented and bold, but with the strength of Penglai Xiandao and Wangui Sect, you must not take it lightly, lest the boat capsizes in the gutter, then the gain outweighs the loss. You are still so young, there is no need to act too hastily, there are many Everything can be figured out slowly!"
"Don't worry, old master. I do need a few pseudo-Nascent Souls, or experts from Penglai Immortal Island who really know some core secrets. Since they are already there in the Beiming Sea, why should I go to the coast of the East China Sea to go far away? Caught? The old boss will settle here for the time being. When things are over, I will personally select a good family for you to reincarnate in, and promise you that I will protect your reincarnated body in the future until you Grow up and reawaken!”
"Thank you very much, old man!" Zhang Xiong said happily.
Li Xiu immediately absorbed Zhang Xiong into Duoduo's parallel space.
A day without words.
The next day, Li Ruocheng was the first to open his eyes.
During this time, she accompanied Li Xiu to do experiments and gained a lot. After a day of practice, she has made a lot of progress, and has successfully modified the previous methods of performing the Three Corpses Technique. Over time, she can coexist peacefully with the organ consciousness and tap into divine substances.
Although Li Ruocheng revised the method later, she was one step ahead of the one-eyed old man, Wen Xiuqing, the Sky-Swallowing Devil Boy, and Bei Gongxue. She understood the true meaning of the spherical Yuan Shen, and she was very interested in the Three Corpses Transformation Technique. The understanding is still higher than that of the four people, and the correction will naturally be much faster!
"Are you awake?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ruocheng.
"Yeah!" Li Ruocheng nodded and said, "Through these days of experiments and practice, I have vaguely sensed some of the mysteries of the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death."
Li Xiudao: "The so-called profound secret of life and death is to understand the structure of the genetic chain in the process of cultivation. Under normal circumstances, the peak of Lingji is only in a state of vague understanding. This time you are on the coast of the East China Sea. It is a blessing in disguise that you have realized the beauty of the spherical soul. Over the past few days, the summary and experience of clinical experiments have been of great help to you. It is equivalent to obtaining a more comprehensive theory, confirming it, and completely becoming your own thing. But still It’s not enough, you are still some distance away from the level of the quasi-Nascent Soul that uproots trees to find their roots.”
"Uproot the tree to find its roots?" Li Ruocheng was puzzled.
Li Xiudao: "In traditional cultivation, Yuanying, in the most popular way, understands the structure of the genetic chain, and can practice it personally. By integrating knowledge and action, he can integrate the understood principles and actually apply them to the physical treasure. And if Although we have fully understood the truth and obtained the Taoist fruits of the soul, we only have a partial understanding of the secrets of the body and cannot achieve the purpose of uprooting the trees to find the roots. This is a watershed. In fact, whether it is traditional cultivation or what we are embarking on today This new path has the same principles. The difference is that traditional cultivation focuses on absolute control, which means that the subjective consciousness group is in behavior in order to achieve synchronization with the physical treasure. The ultimate goal is to say what I want, the physical treasure is also How can we do it. But our purpose is not like this. We must first understand the most basic thing, that is, the human body is inherently weak. Even if we break through the initial limits of the human body and embark on the path of cultivation, monks of the same level will Among them, the physical elixirs of many monks from other races are far more powerful than the physical elixirs of humans. Therefore, for a long period of human cultivation history, they have been trying their best to solve this shortcoming, and only then did magic weapons appear. That is to say, in the traditional sense of practice, the so-called synchronization theory, there has been a big contradiction from the beginning. It is not what I want, what the physical treasure pill can do. Just imagine, a strong human being, and An innately powerful demon clan master, such as a dragon clan, giant clan, etc., with the same cultivation level, because of their innate superiority, everyone can synchronize at the same stage and judge the superiority. It is impossible for a strong human being not to practice magic weapons. It’s hard to compete with strong men of the same level!”
Li Ruocheng said: "Practice the Three Corpses Transformation Technique. Is it because you have understood this principle a long time ago that you created it?"
