As time continued, the spirit crystals of the ninth layer were quickly condensed, and at this time, the willow tree also began to continue to grow, directly breaking through the spirit crystals of the eighth layer, and then continued to approach the spirit crystals of the ninth layer that had just been condensed.

Without any accidents, the ninth-layer spirit crystal that had just been condensed was directly broken by the willow tree, and then turned into golden energy, which was absorbed by all those willows.

As a result, the nine-layer spirit crystals all disappeared.

Li Xiuping didn't care much because all the nine-layer spirit crystals had disappeared, but instead focused on the willow tree, to be precise, on the sphere on the willow tree.

According to Li Xiuping's previous guess, what was bred in it was the so-called Jin Dan, and now that the nine layers of spirit crystals have been absorbed by the willow tree, the Jin Dan in it should naturally be condensed and completed, so he should also become a Jin Dan monk.

It's just that he looked at it like this for a long time, and the sphere on the willow tree didn't change at all, it was still the same as before, there was constantly light overflowing, and then it was entangled and wrapped by more and more willows, and as the sphere grew larger, the light was also suppressed.

When all the light was suppressed, there was no new change, whether it was the sphere or the willow.

Li Xiuping frowned, and could only withdraw his divine consciousness from the spiritual sea.

Seeing Li Xiuping open his eyes, the woman in Tsing Yi asked directly, "How is it?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head, and then told the situation in his body clearly, without any concealment.

After hearing this, the woman in Tsing Yi couldn't help frowning.

The nine-layer spirit crystals were all disappeared by the willow tree, and the so-called golden pill did not appear in that sphere, the key is that Li Xiuping can't get close to that sphere yet, doesn't this mean that Li Xiuping can't condense the golden pill at all?

At this time, the woman in Tsing Yi naturally couldn't hit Li Mingyue, but comforted: "Even if it is a normal practice, it takes a process to form a pill, and it is not something that can be done after the nine-layer spirit crystal, so wait, you must not slack off during this time." ”

Li Xiuping nodded.

The woman in Tsing Yi then asked, "What is the strength now?" ”

Li Xiuping thought for a moment and replied: "If you don't use the immortal treasure, there is no problem in facing the monks in the late Jindan stage, but if you use the immortal treasure, if you go all out, there is no problem in dealing with the strong people in the Yuan Infant Stage." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi continued to comfort: "That's good, at least it shows that the strength is improving." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, he could only comfort himself like this now.

The woman in Tsing Yi continued to ask, "How does your body feel?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Basically, there is no problem, and there is no bad feeling." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi nodded and said, "Then continue on the road, I can feel that there are many strong people approaching this side." ”

After finishing speaking, he directly took out the divine sword without a sheath, and then carried Li Xiuping into the air, and everyone in the academy and the little red girl also followed the sky and continued to go in the direction of the imperial capital.

Along the way, Li Xiuping had a lot of worries, and naturally it was impossible to let go of the situation in his spiritual sea, so he secretly tried a few times, wanting to see if the sphere on the willow tree was Jindan.

However, several attempts were blocked by the willow tree, and he couldn't get close at all, and he couldn't investigate, so Li Xiuping could only give up and focus on fusing the nine-layer spirit crystal. Now that he didn't have a spirit crystal, he could only draw power from the willow tree and try to fuse it to form the last layer of spirit crystal.

With Li Xiuping's attempt, he was soon surprised to find that this method was actually feasible, and there were faint signs of the appearance of the tenth layer of spirit crystals in the spiritual sea.

This discovery can be said to have surprised and delighted Li Xiuping, which means that as long as he completes this layer of spirit crystal, he will be able to smelt it into a fake pill, and then as long as he condenses it into a golden pill, he can enter the golden pill stage and become a golden pill monk.

However, Li Xiuping soon discovered that as the energy was continuously extracted from the willow tree, and it was faintly about to condense into the tenth layer of spirit crystals, the willow tree actually stopped the transmission of energy.

This is the second time that the willow tree has gone against his will after Li Xiuping got this willow tree.

The first time was because he wanted to get close to the sphere and was stopped by the willow tree, this time it was because he wanted to extract the willow tree's energy and directly condense the last layer of spirit crystals, but the willow tree refused.

In this way, Li Xiuping couldn't help but be a little worried, because this was enough to show that this willow tree had its own will.

In one's own spiritual sea, there is a thing with an independent will, which is difficult for anyone to accept.

When this change occurred, Li Xiuping did not panic too much, but calmed himself down and tried to drive the energy of the willow tree to attack, but found that there was no repulsion, and it was still the same as before.

Li Xiuping couldn't help but think about the difference.

Using the energy given by the willow tree to convert it into sword intent, or defense, or attack, is because the willow tree can withstand and give such energy, so even if the loss is serious, it will not cause any damage to the willow tree; And extracting the energy of the willow tree to condense the tenth layer of spirit crystals has exceeded the scope of what the willow tree can bear and give, and has already hurt the root of the willow tree, or more precisely, it has hurt the existence of the sphere, so the willow tree will refuse.

Could it be that if you want to condense the tenth layer of spirit crystals, you can only obtain energy from the outside world?

This kind of thinking is obviously not realistic, and ordinary people will not have this kind of thought, but Li Xiuping's cultivation is different from others, so it is naturally not surprising that he will have this kind of thought, if he doesn't even dare to have an idea, he will not be able to get to this point.

With an idea, Li Xiuping decided to start trying.

He now needs to convert sword intent into energy, but the perception of sword intent cannot be obtained at will, so he can only hit the idea on the body of the Yuan Infant in the copper bowl.

Jin Dan is different from Yuan Ying, if he breaks a Jin Dan to absorb energy, in his current situation, it is obviously difficult to bear, and the woman in Tsing Yi said that this method has a lot of hidden dangers for him, but if he does not absorb all the energy of Jin Dan, it seems a bit wasteful, all the best way is to extract the energy of the Yuan Baby, and extract as much as he wants, that Yuan Ying may be difficult to find.

He is just testing now, so as to determine what he thinks in his heart, as long as the energy from the outside world can replenish the spirit crystal at the bottom level, then he can continue to perceive and absorb the sword intent, complete the spirit crystal of the tenth layer, and then smelt it into a golden pill.

Of course, the premise is that the spirit crystal of the tenth layer will not be destroyed by that willow tree.

This is what Li Xiuping is most worried about.

After extracting the energy of that primordial infant, Li Xiuping transformed it in a special way, and then threw it into the spiritual sea, fused it into the spirit crystal of the tenth layer, and carefully observed the subtle changes that appeared in the spirit crystal after these energies were integrated.

The next moment, Li Xiuping was overjoyed in his heart, because this method was indeed feasible, and the spirit crystals of the tenth layer were obviously condensed a lot because of the integration of those energies.

After confirming that this effect was useful, Li Xiuping focused all his attention on the willow tree, observing the changes of the willow tree, so as to judge whether it would destroy the tenth layer of spirit crystals.

The willow tree stood still, and there was no change.

Seeing this, Li Xiuping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is expected to condense Jindan, which is naturally a happy thing.

Li Xiuping withdrew his divine consciousness from the spiritual sea, and his whole mood instantly improved a lot.

And on the next road, there were no accidents, everyone either edgeworthy, or walking, walking and stopping, and finally saw the imperial capital.

This should be the most prosperous capital city that Li Xiuping has seen so far.

Li Xiuping originally thought that the Guanchao Building of Guanchao Academy was the tallest building in the world, but here, buildings like Guanchao Lou abounded, some were even taller than Guanchao Building, and various straights of different widths crisscrossed each other, and brilliant buildings of various colors were lined up one after another.

Although everyone is above the sea of clouds, they can feel the lively atmosphere of the entire Imperial Capital City.

And as Li Xiuping and others approached, a powerful aura began to appear in the city, and they approached everyone directly.

The woman in Tsing Yi said at this time: "It should be a strong person who guards the imperial capital, and if you come forward to deal with it later, they will give face to Guanchao Academy." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, and directly sacrificed the flying sword, and the imperial sword walked in front.

After a while, several figures appeared one after another, blocking in front of everyone, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy.

What made them feel dangerous was naturally not Li Xiuping and those disciples of the academy, but the woman in Tsing Yi who had reached the stage of transformation into a god, so after these people appeared, their eyes were all staring at the woman in Tsing Yi.

Li Xiuping and others also stopped moving forward.

Li Xiuping took the lead in walking out, and after bowing, he said: "Senior Li Xiuping, I have seen all the seniors, this time I am representing the Guanchao Academy to participate in the Seven Holy Land Conference, passing through the imperial capital, disturbing the Qing cultivation of the seniors, please forgive me." ”

Hearing this, those strong men all frowned, and finally set their eyes on Li Xiuping.

Regarding the rumors about Li Xiuping, I am afraid that there are not many people in the cultivation world who don't know about it now, just because this young man is a disciple of Old Mr. Ouye, just because this young man has involved immortals who don't know the truth or falsehood in the rumors, just because the immortal treasures possessed by this young man have far surpassed any first-class sect.

No one will fail to attach importance to such a person.

A strong man quickly put on a smiling face and saluted back: "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, the old man has long heard of Li Gongzi's young hero, and now he can see it, he is really handsome and extraordinary, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people." ”

Although it is not the first time that Li Xiuping has been praised like this, he still feels a little embarrassed to be praised by so many Yuan Infant powerhouses, and hurriedly said: "The seniors are polite, but the juniors really dare not be." ”

And at this time, those who were strong in the infant stage began to be embarrassed.

Now Li Xiuping represents Confucianism, and the matter of Confucianism and Taoism fighting openly and secretly is not a secret in the cultivation world, so the Taoist side will definitely do everything possible to prevent Li Xiuping from participating in this grand meeting held in the Seven Holy Lands.

Although these old guys also have some skills, once the Taoist bigwigs make a move, their cultivation is basically a child's house. It's not enough to see at all.

The key is that there are many Taoist disciples in Dijing City now, if these people are allowed to go on like this, they will definitely collide together, and if they can't fight at that time, it's okay, if they really fight, should they make a move? Who should I help after the shot?

It is certainly impossible to persuade peace, and I am afraid that both sides will not give them face.

But if you don't let these people go down, it will be tantamount to deliberately making things difficult, and it will be tantamount to having trouble with Guanchao Academy.

If you can't get along with Guanchao Academy, you can't get along with the entire Confucianism, and when the time comes, the entire court will be in chaos, and it will be a pot of porridge, which will be accepted by His Majesty the Emperor.

Don't look at the officials in the court who seem to be powerless, but they can play tricks and show off words, it can really be described as perfect, even if they insist on saying that the white is black, they have the ability to convince His Majesty the Emperor.

If His Majesty the Emperor is unhappy, then they, the people who protect the safety of the Imperial Capital, will not feel good.

A Yuan Infant powerhouse asked directly, "I wonder how long you plan to stay in Dijing City?" ”

Li Xiuping thought for a moment and replied: "It won't be too long, it will only be two days at most, if you can catch up with the Xiandu leading to Great Xia, it will be the best." ”

Those Yuan Infant powerhouses glanced at each other, and one of them said: "It just so happens that there is an immortal crossing to the Xia Kingdom tonight, if you need it, we can also get the certificate of Xiandu." ”

Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, this was a little beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but look at these people.

Li Xiuping quickly understood what was going on, feeling that these guys wanted to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, so that they could leave Dijing City as soon as possible and not add any trouble to them.

Someone spends money, Li Xiuping naturally won't refuse, but when he came to Dijing City this time, in addition to the main purpose of taking Xiandu, he also wanted to buy some sword casting needs here, and then forge it within the limit.

After all, this Xiandu will fly for a long time, and he can't do nothing every day, and now he continues to use his sword intent to complete the tenth layer of spirit crystals, which can only be obtained by forging a sword.

Although there was a lot of harvest in Baiyang City before, it was obviously far from enough, Dijing City is such a good place, there will definitely be no less materials that can be purchased, if you come here, but you don't buy anything, Li Xiuping will definitely not agree in his heart.

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry, the juniors still want to buy some things in the city, so ......"

He didn't go on, but the meaning was already obvious, he was going to stay in Dijing City for a few days.

A strong man in the Yuan Infant Stage asked directly: "I don't know what Li Gongzi needs, I can also do it for me, as long as we can afford it, we will definitely satisfy Li Gongzi." ”

Li Xiuping was really a little surprised now, is he really that terrible? Isn't it just to stay in Dijing City for a few days, these are also strong people in the Yuan Infant Stage, as for being scared like this?

However, this is indeed an opportunity for Li Xiuping, and it is much better to let these Yuan Infant powerhouses help him buy what he needs, than to look around for what he is not familiar with.

Li Xiuping said: "This is very good, if you seniors can help, the spirit stones you need, the juniors will give them all." ”

Now Li Xiuping also wants to leave quickly, after all, there are Taoists and countless strong people in the secret, and the sooner he arrives in the Snow Country, he can also be down-to-earth as soon as possible, and now that he can save money and effort, Li Xiuping naturally has no reason to refuse.

Hearing that Li Xiuping agreed, and that he would pay for it, all the strong people in the Yuan Infant Stage were actually relieved.

Now they only hope that they can send this guy away as soon as possible, so as not to affect the imperial capital and them.

After making eye contact, several Yuan infant powerhouses directly took Li Xiuping and fell towards the imperial capital, doing everything himself, just hoping that this group of people would not make any trouble, and they would not run into those disciples of Taoism.

After that, Li Xiuping said everything he needed, Rao was one of those strong people in the Yuan Infant Stage, and he was also dumbfounded after listening to it.

Although they knew that Li Xiuping was a swordsmith and that they had purchased these materials for sword casting, the number of swords that could be made with so many materials was not a small amount at all.

Let's not talk about how many spiritual weapons this Li Xiuping can build, just these materials will cost a huge amount of spirit stones, even if they empty all their family funds, it may not be enough, and this guy will really have so much money at that time?

If this guy can't come up with so much money, and they all get those materials, will it be for Li Xiuping or not?

Give, so much so that they don't even have their belts left, if they don't give it, if this guy is unhappy, then all their efforts will be in vain.

Li Xiuping didn't seem to want to embarrass these people, and said directly: "If you seniors can't come up with so much money, you can directly bring the people who have these materials directly, and I will trade with them in person, but if you want to complete it all before tonight, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Obviously, these people can't trust Li Xiuping, and Li Xiuping can't trust them, otherwise they can directly hand over the spirit stone to these people, and this matter can be solved, and Li Xiuping is determined to pit these people, at least the certificate of Xiandu, how can these people come out.

Li Xiuping didn't feel distressed about the cost of buying a sword, but when he thought of the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones that took Xiandu, Li Xiuping felt uncomfortable.

Now that someone has stepped forward and taken the initiative to bear this part of the expenses, Li Xiuping can't ask for it.

After that, several Yuan Infant powerhouses discussed it and decided to take out the spirit stones they could take out first, buy what Li Xiuping needed, and then obtain the spirit stones from Li Xiuping, which was the best way to do this.

At that time, if Li Xiuping wants to get the rest of the things, he can only pay money, and they can also reduce the loss as much as possible, as for whether it can be completed before tonight, and then send this group to Xiandu, it can only depend on the will of heaven.

Li Xiuping didn't expect that this group of people would go all out in order to let him leave the imperial capital as soon as possible, and it didn't take long to get a lot of materials that Li Xiuping needed, and Li Xiuping also took out the spirit stones needed to buy these materials according to the agreement, and almost all of them were only a lot more.

Take everything when you see it, even if you want to take advantage of it, you can't take it too much.

These people are also in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty, but now they are running errands for themselves, and it is natural to give some benefits, and these people have received benefits, and they will be at ease when they take advantage of their Xiandu.
