Section 7 Useless waste

Li Ping has lived in an extremely advantageous environment since he was a child, and even the secret room he is in now is specially set up for him by his father Li Xian with countless energy and painstaking efforts, although this secret room looks dark and narrow, but it also cost Li Xian almost all of his belongings at the beginning. You must know that with his cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, with his status in the family, his net worth is quite expensive, not to mention that his mother is from the Lu family, another big immortal family in Dingyuan City.

Since childhood, Li Ping has shown excellent cultivation talent, although he himself is a three-spirit root monk, the absorption and utilization efficiency of heaven and earth aura is not high, but he has a calm temperament, willing to practice penance, over time, the realm of cultivation is also improving, but at the age of 15, he reached the sixth layer of the qi training period in one fell swoop, and stepped into the level of the middle stage of qi training, which is known as the hope of the next generation of the Li family.

You must know that Li Ping is a monk of the three spiritual roots, because of the complexity of the spiritual roots, he needs to refine three spiritual powers at the same time, and the efficiency is naturally far worse than that of the monks of the double spiritual roots, not to mention those heavenly pride of the heavenly spirit root (single spirit root) monks, who can catch up with the double spirit root in terms of cultivation speed, which naturally means that his perception and control ability of the spiritual energy are far beyond ordinary people.

Judging from the cultivation speed shown by Li Ping, perhaps within thirty years, the Li family will be able to produce one more foundation building period cultivator.

Although the monks in the foundation building period were only one level higher than those in the Qi cultivation period, it was not just as simple as nearly doubling the longevity yuan. Cultivators in the foundation building period can practice powerful exercises, and their condensed primordial gods can withstand the pain of splitting the primordial gods, and their strength is far from comparable to that of monks in the Qi cultivation period, and even cultivated to a profound foundation building period monk, they can easily kill dozens of monks in the qi cultivation period. Only when you really step into the foundation building period can you really set foot in the world of cultivating immortals, otherwise, it is just a mirror and a moon, and you have just touched the threshold of cultivating immortals.

However, Li Ping, who was pinned on by everyone, never took a step forward after stepping into the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period.

No matter how hard he worked in his cultivation, no matter how much his father tried to spend a lot of money to buy pills for him to improve his cultivation, his cultivation realm was always stuck at the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period, and he couldn't move an inch.

That year, bad luck seemed to have completely enveloped Li Ping's body, first his mother failed to split the original god, and was unfortunately devoured by ghosts when she signed the soul contract. Soon after, his father was also attacked by the sand beast tide while escorting supplies to the Heavenly Star Valley, and he was killed in battle. In just one year, the originally happy family was mutated one after another, leaving Li Ping alone in this world.

And because of the death of Li Ping's father Li Xian, the spirit runes and materials sent by the family to Tianxing Valley were all lost, and the entire Li family was also greatly injured.

As a subsidiary family of Tianxing Valley, the Li family needs to take on the heavy responsibility of making talismans for Tianxing Valley, which is also the reason why the Li family has a prominent status. Originally, the trivial matter of transporting talismans naturally did not need to be escorted by Li Xian, a master in the late stage of foundation building, in the territory of Xijun, because of the existence of Tianxing Valley, there was no need to worry about the security of Tianxing Valley, there was a great monk of the Yuan Infant Stage sitting in the Tianxing Mountain Range, where would anyone dare to come here to make trouble? Besides, the entire West Pole Continent was under the complete control of the three major factions, and there was no accident at all. Normally, for this kind of escort business, the family only needs to send a few monks at the top level of the Qi cultivation period to go, and it is enough. However, this time is obviously a bit special, because among these talismans, there is a Shenxiao Town Thunder Talisman that is used by the new Jindan Stage Elder Ling Xu, the new elder of the Heavenly Star Valley, who urgently needs to practice the magic weapon, for the sake of safety, this is why Li Xian, the strongest master of the Li family other than the ancestor, is allowed to serve as a guard.

Who would have thought that the sand beast tide, which is rarely seen in a hundred years, would break out at this time? Who would have thought that there would be a beast king of the Jindan period in the midst of the beast tide, and even an amazing and brilliant person like Li Xian would die in it.

Shenxiao Town Thunder Fu This kind of talisman is very rare, the success rate of the finished product is low, not to mention, the ingredients are annoying, needless to say, although it is expensive to spend some more spirit stones can also be collected, the key is that the raw materials used are made of 10,000-year-old god peach wood as the main material, which is really rare and abnormal.

Divine peach wood is not common on the West Pole Continent, and it can be regarded as a very rare spiritual material. And the thousand-year-old divine peach wood can be used to make thunder magic weapons, so that its use is very extensive, as for the 10,000-year-old divine peach wood, its own preciousness is no less than an ordinary magic weapon, its preciousness can be imagined. And even if Tianxing Valley is one of the three major factions in the West Pole, the divine peach wood stored in the gang is also very rare, and every time it is after a monk succeeds in forming a pill, he will take out a piece and hand it over to the ancestor of the Li family to make the Shenxiao Town Thunder Talisman, so as to resist the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation after refining the magic weapon for the monk of Jiedan.

This is also the reason why the monk wants to join the sect, imagine how difficult it is to collect scarce materials like divine peach wood with the strength of the monk alone? What's more troublesome is that even if you collect all the materials, who will help you refine them? The cultivation of a talisman master is a real astronomical pile, and in order to improve the success rate of talisman making, the energy and effort spent are obviously far from what ordinary people can imagine.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of the thunder talisman in Shenxiao Town that this incredible change is also an extremely shocking blow to the Li family. Although it is something that no one can predict when encountering the sand beast tide, but the Fu is not handed over to the sect, which affects the refining of the magic weapon of Ling Xuzhen, it is naturally unfavorable for the Li family, if it is not for the face of the ancestor of the Li family, for the sake of the Li family for so many years without any delay, I am afraid that this time the Li family will suffer a catastrophe. And in order to make up for the mistake, the ancestor of the Li family personally went to the Heavenly Star Valley, and spent hundreds of years of money accumulated by the Li family and spent a lot of effort to refine one, which ended the matter.

However, for Li Ping, life in the family has naturally been extremely difficult since then.

Not to mention that his parents died in vain, leaving him alone to live alone, it was because of his father's negligence that the huge loss of the Li family was naturally counted on his head. The uncles and uncles who originally had a harmonious relationship, the Tang brothers and the Tang brothers, were even more angry at him because of the family's food and clothing for a long time after that, and it was not enough to punch and kick down, after all, the big family still needs to take care of some face, but cynicism and sarcasm are naturally indispensable. It is inevitable to even secretly stumble on Li Ping and wear some small shoes.

There is nothing more warm and cold in the world than this, and it is human nature for the wall to fall down and everyone pushes it. In this world, there are a few people who can really send charcoal in the snow!

What's even worse is that Li Ping's realm cultivation has not made any progress since that year, and he watched others leave him behind on the way to cultivation.

From genius to waste, from the stars holding the moon to being trampled on the soles of their feet, from the treasures that parents cared for to the orphans who are lonely, from laughing to irony...... In that year, Li Ping can be said to have tasted the bitterness of the world and experienced the most unpredictable human hearts in the world.

The corners of Li Ping's mouth couldn't help but show a trace of disdain, a trace of disgust, this world really made him have no nostalgia, many times, he wanted to understand his life, so as not to see this dirty world again, but when it came to do it, he couldn't help but think of his mother's gentle eyes, that kind smile, and couldn't help but think of what she said to herself before she died, "No matter how difficult life is, you must live well."

Li Ping stretched out his hand and touched a black bead hanging on his neck, the bead was not gold or stone, he couldn't tell what material it was, but it was hung on his neck by his mother when he was fifteen years old, which had the magical effect of refreshing his mind. Touching the beads on his neck, Li Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and couldn't help but recall all kinds of situations when he was young.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a shallow smile, this simple-looking guy seemed to make people feel a little pleasing only when he laughed, and the faint smile on that ordinary face was still a little charming.

Involuntarily, Li Ping thought of a girl who liked to wear white palace clothes, that dusty temperament, that delicate face, and a hint of naughtiness in the dignified beauty, just seeing it once, it left a deep memory in his heart. This woman named Lu Tingting is the fiancée set by her father for herself, and she is a bright pearl of the Lu family in Kamiwind City. Of course, with his reputation as a genius back then, plus his father's status as a monk in the later stage of foundation building, this was obviously an excellent family affair.

But since the family had been in trouble, he had never seen her again, and the marriage contract between them was never mentioned again, as if it had never happened again.

Li Ping couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was obvious that it was impossible for the pearl of the Lu family to marry such a waste as him, especially since not only his father and mother had died at the moment, but even he himself was a waste whose cultivation had stagnated, and such a marriage had become a joke.

Inexplicably, another figure appeared in his mind, it was a slightly short woman, with curved willow eyebrows, a small and delicate nose, and a pair of watery eyes forming a not too beautiful, but quite delicate face. Especially the smile she keeps on her lips looks like it makes people feel warm. Just like at this moment, when Li Ping thought of her indifferent smile, he felt warm in his heart, and even the decadence in his heart was swept away.

He stood up in vain and said, "Sakurako, you wait for me, I'll be over soon." ”
