Chapter 296: Caught in a Strife
After listening to the words of the other self, Li Xiuping fell into thought.
He had to be cautious about this matter, after all, his personal safety was at stake.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuping decided to stay and go to see the so-called Lingbao Trading Conference and see the sage.
He has already come into contact with the Seven Holy Lands, Guanchao Academy, and Washing Sword Pond are all on his side, Stargazing Tower and Taiyi Pavilion are on the opposite side of him, Butterfly Valley because of his relationship with the demon clan, although he will not stand on his side, but he will not stand on his opposite, and the remaining Drifting Snow City and Incense Burner Mountain are neutral, and the specific final choice should be decided according to the changes in the final situation.
Among the Eight Sages, the Qing Ming Monk has long seen that a sword cultivator in a distraction period, even if he will offend the entire Taoist, he also chooses to come forward to help himself, and then the previous Bai Xue Monk, although he came forward to help himself, but because of his own involvement, he will not directly confront Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower, so he may not have any contact with himself in the future.
And these two people have a lot of contact with Mr. Ouye, and they both owe Mr. Ouye's favor.
Now this is the third sage Li Xiuping has met, but he doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Ou Ye, at least Mr. Ou Ye has never mentioned this person, so what kind of attitude this person has towards him, Li Xiuping doesn't know for the time being.
However, in Li Xiuping's opinion, now that there are so many people gathered here, even if the sage's target is himself, he will not directly and blatantly make a move, at least he will wait for the end of the Lingbao Trading Conference, and only when Li Xiuping leaves and is alone.
This means that if Li Xiuping wants to get the materials for forging the sword, it must be no problem, and he will have enough time and opportunity to get rid of the other party's tracking afterwards.
And if the other party's purpose is to lead the strong people from all sides to the east to fight against the so-called demon clan, he can also join the team and go to Emperor Wu City together, then whether it is the Stargazing Tower or the Taiyi Pavilion, it is not good to attack himself directly.
After making up his mind, Li Xiuping found a place to live in the city, intending to wait for the start of the Lingbao Trading Conference.
As time continued, more and more people gathered in this small city, and the restaurant inn, which had no guests before, was instantly overcrowded, and the price was still rising, so Li Xiuping couldn't help but be glad that he had come a few days earlier.
In addition, the strength of the people who appeared was getting stronger and stronger, and at the beginning, they could only see one or two Yuan Infant Stage monks, but now they can be seen almost everywhere, and sometimes they can even feel the breath of the Transformation Stage monks.
For the sake of unnecessary trouble, Li Xiuping rarely showed up, and almost did not deal with those monks, only during meals he would listen to the conversations of those monks and obtain some relevant information.
At this moment, Li Xiuping walked out of the room and entered the dining hall, he couldn't help frowning, because at this moment, the entire hall was crowded with people and noisy, he looked left and right, but he couldn't find an empty place, so he walked to a corner, planning to wait for someone to eat before taking a seat.
There are actually many people in the same situation as Li Xiuping, for example, at this time Li Xiuping's side, there are three people, two women, and one man, who are not much older than Li Xiuping, but two of them have already entered the Jindan period, and the remaining one is also the peak of the foundation building period.
When Li Xiuping walked over, the three of them naturally looked at Li Xiuping, the two women didn't say anything, and the man showed a smile and politely gave up a place for Li Xiuping.
Li Xiuping cast a grateful look at the man and did not speak.
After Li Xiuping stood still, the man asked with a smile, "Brother Tai is also here to participate in the Lingbao Trading Conference?" ”
Li Xiuping glanced at him, then nodded, and added, "Come and try your luck." ”
It should be that Li Xiuping's accent is different from theirs, so this person was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but look at Li Xiuping twice, and said with a smile: "Listen to Gongzi's accent, it's from the south?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded and didn't explain too much.
Seeing that Li Xiuping didn't want to say more, this person changed the topic and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of spirit treasure Brother Tai wants to find, we may be able to help you refer to it, but I can't hide it, my senior sister is a refiner and has a unique insight into the spirit treasure, so you don't have to spend money in vain." ”
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at the woman beside him.
It's not that he hasn't met a refiner before, but he hasn't met a female refiner, so he is even more said to be a refiner in the Jindan period.
In the cultivation world, there is such a phenomenon, whether it is an alchemist or a refiner, the cultivation realm is generally not high, after all, their talent is above refining or alchemy, and most of the time is spent on refining or alchemy, and there is not much time for cultivation, and the realm will naturally be much lower.
However, such people are often the richest, and they can casually take out a large number of pills or spiritual treasures, and when they are fighting, they can almost be completely invincible in the same realm. Just imagine, two people in the same realm, one finally bought a spiritual treasure, while the other casually took out a lot of them, defensive, offensive, how to fight?
In the same way, alchemy is actually the same, people directly eat the pill as a meal, and they don't worry about the injury and the loss of their own spiritual power at all, how can you fight against others?
Li Xiuping is the best example, relying on a bunch of divine weapons and immortal treasures, although he only has the cultivation of the foundation building period, he can easily kill even the strong people of the Yuan Infant Stage.
The most important point is that since the other party is also a refiner, then this time he came to participate in the Lingbao Trading Conference, he would naturally buy some refining materials, and when the time came, he might be able to take a fancy to the same thing as Li Xiuping, and there would inevitably be competition.
With competition, there will inevitably be confrontation and even conflict, Li Xiuping is not afraid, but feels a little helpless, because this is really a completely unnecessary thing, but it seems to be inevitable.
The woman also looked at Li Xiuping at this time, frowning slightly, but quickly looked away and did not speak.
At this time, a table had already finished eating and got up, and the man said to Li Xiuping: "Let's go, I will be preempted again after a while." ”
said that he dragged Li Xiuping directly up, but he was a self-cooked.
There were four people, just at the same table, and the man who pulled Li Xiuping over sat on Li Xiuping's left, the woman who refined the weapon sat opposite Li Xiuping, and on Li Xiuping's right was another woman, that is, the woman at the peak of the foundation building period.
Three people, the man is very arrogant, the people who are familiar with him are generally very enthusiastic, the woman who refines the weapon has a cold expression, as if her body is always wrapped in a layer of ice, and the other woman is quiet and quiet, giving people a feeling that she doesn't like to come into contact with outsiders, and her personality is obviously a little closed.
Three people traveling together, and judging from the costumes, they should be from the same house. But the personalities are very different.
The man didn't continue the previous topic, and after sitting down, he first glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "Do you know, I heard that this time there will be an auction of a fairy treasure, which directly led out a lot of old monsters, this kind of skill, it really deserves to be one of the sages." ”
Li Xiuping was stunned, he really hadn't heard of this. But judging from this guy's tone and expression, this news shouldn't be fake.
If there is really an immortal treasure, then the situation is even more complicated, because under the effect of the immortal treasure, not to mention the strong people in the transformation period, the strong people in the distraction period and even the strong people in the merger period may appear.
And it is precisely because of the huge influence of immortal treasures that his Li Xiuping's situation will become relatively more dangerous, because there are countless immortal treasures in him.
That sage used a fairy treasure to attract so many strong people, but there is only one fairy treasure, it is impossible for everyone to have a share, when the time comes, those strong people who can't get the fairy treasure will take themselves as their goals?
The deterrence of that wine fairy senior is certainly powerful, but now the stargazing tower and Taiyi Pavilion in the holy land have already made a move against Li Xiuping, and I don't see any movement from that wine fairy senior, not to mention that this kind of thing is useful for some people, but it is useless for some people.
This is like the deterrence of the Taoist Taiyi Pavilion and the Stargazing Tower, which can deter the Bai Xue monk, but not the Qingying monk, in fact, it is the same reason.
In the cultivation world, there are many lonely people like the Qingying monks, because the cultivation road is long, and the people involved with them no longer exist, the good ones have one or two friends, and the bad ones don't even have a single person who is involved.
This kind of person is alone, as long as he has the certainty of saving his life, he doesn't care what kind of person he will offend, and most of these people have stayed in a certain realm for a long time, and they need all kinds of opportunities and magic weapons to help break through, and once they meet, most of them will risk their lives to get their hands on it.
If they hadn't run into Li Xiuping, because of the deterrence of that wine fairy, and because of the involvement of those forces and strong people behind Li Xiuping, they might not have traveled thousands of miles to find Li Xiuping, but if Li Xiuping ran in front of them by himself, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not be moved.
Feeling that Li Xiuping was distracted, the man couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xiuping came back to his senses and shook his head.
Seeing Li Xiuping shaking his head, the man smiled and said, "Xianbao, we can only think about it, if we can see it, we will already be satisfied." ”
"I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to meet."
A voice suddenly sounded, and a group of people walked straight towards Li Xiuping and others.
Seeing these people, Li Xiuping couldn't help frowning.
Why is it that every time there is trouble with a new one, trouble will follow?
Looking at the posture of these people, they obviously have grievances with the three people around them, and the grievances are not small, and there seems to be no possibility of easing. The key is that even if he wants not to interfere now, the other party is afraid that he will not agree, because the other party is afraid that he has already regarded him as a companion of these three people.
If his realm cultivation is higher, if he proposes to leave, the other party may still be jealous, but now he is only a monk at the peak of the foundation building period, and the other party is like a Jindan stage monk, and he will not take him in his eyes at all, even if he takes the initiative to dissociate himself from these three people, these people are afraid that they will not agree.
can't get married, there is such a disadvantage.
With the appearance of these people, the faces of the three people beside Li Xiuping also became gloomy, and they had even begun to mobilize the true qi in their bodies, and some spiritual treasures were even held in their hands.
It can be seen that it is inevitable to say that it is inevitable to do it, and once you do it, it will inevitably attract the attention of countless people.
Now in this small city, it can really be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, don't see what you want at that time, and become someone else's target first, then your previous plan will all come to naught.
Unfortunately, he has no choice now.
The familiar fellow's eyes rolled at this point, as if he was thinking about something.
The woman who knew how to refine the weapon said in a deep voice: "This is where the Lingbao Trading Conference is located, do you Tianlan Sect really want to do it here?" ”
At this moment, the group of people had all walked up, blocking the four people on Li Xiuping's side, and a Jindan period monk said with a smile: "Isn't it that the Lingbao Trading Conference has not started yet, besides, now that the sage has not yet appeared, even if he kills you, who can ask anything." ”
At this time, the familiar guy spoke: "The grievances between our two families are not good to involve others, this little brother is just sharing a table with us, please let him leave first, and then fight to the death, each according to his ability." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuping couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect it.
The Jindan monks on the other side looked at Li Xiuping, and the Jindan monks who spoke before said in a deep voice: "You said it doesn't matter, so you don't care?" But anyone who has contact with your Huatian Sect is the enemy of my Tianlan Sect, and there is only one way to die. ”
Hearing this, everyone, including Li Xiuping, frowned.
The man from Huatianzong looked at Li Xiuping and said bitterly: "I really didn't expect to meet these guys here, even the brothers, we will find a way to drag them down in a while, you find a chance to leave, you are not my Huatianzong disciple, and they will not chase you relentlessly." ”
Li Xiuping nodded.
After that, the three of Hua Tianzong glanced at each other, and then walked forward at the same time, two Jindan period monks stood in front, and the foundation building period monk stood behind, confronting those Jindan stage monks of the Tianlan Sect opposite.
In the entire inn, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and heavy, and many guests also distanced themselves from this group of people one after another, but they didn't want to be involved in the grievances of the two families.
Li Xiuping did have a chance to leave at this time, and he could guarantee that those people would not be able to catch up with him, but if he left, it would be impossible for the three of Hua Tianzong to deal with so many Jindan stage monks in Tianlan Sect.
Originally, when Pingshui met, he didn't have to interfere, but the guy from Hua Tianzong actually asked him to leave, not wanting to involve him, which made Li Xiuping hesitate.
The woman, who had not spoken all along, was closest to Li Xiuping at this moment, and said, "As soon as we make a move, you will directly find a chance to leave." ”
Li Xiuping looked at her, but she had already turned her head and stared at the people in front of her with all her attention, and there was an extra spiritual treasure in her hand.
Li Xiuping didn't plan to make a move, but he didn't plan to leave, although the number of people on Hua Tianzong's side was much smaller, but the number of spiritual treasures he took out was not bad, this should be thanks to the woman who knew how to refine weapons, although there was still no chance of winning, but it shouldn't be so miserable.
The four people from Tianlan Sect walked out at this time and said, "Don't say that we are bullying you, one-on-one, as long as you can win, let you leave." ”
In this way, Li Xiuping couldn't help frowning again, didn't this mean that even he had to participate in the battle?
The woman who knew how to refine weapons in Hua Tianzong glanced at the man who was familiar with her, and then the two of them took the lead in attacking, and they actually attacked the four people at the same time.
Here, except for Li Xiuping, the woman who was only at the peak of the foundation building period did not make a move, but just drove the spirit treasure in her hand to stay vigilant.
It should have been found that Li Xiuping hadn't left yet, and the woman couldn't help but look back at Li Xiuping, frowned, and said, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
Li Xiuping was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Hua Tianzong's two people could barely hold three people, and the remaining one person was killing Li Xiuping.
A Jindan stage monk naturally had no problem dealing with two monks at the peak of the foundation building period, so he seemed a little arrogant, and he actually attacked the two of them at the same time.
Hua Tianzong, the woman at the peak of the foundation building period, naturally couldn't pay attention to Li Xiuping anymore, drove the spirit treasure to resist that person's attack, and then sacrificed another spirit treasure, which actually launched a counterattack directly.
The Jindan period monk of the Tianlan Sect didn't seem to expect that this woman who was only at the peak of the foundation building period would not only be able to block his attack, but also be able to launch a counterattack, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he could only abandon Li Xiuping first and deal with the woman wholeheartedly, but he was not worried that Li Xiuping would attack him.
In his opinion, this unlucky guy who doesn't know if Hua Tianzong has anything to do with it, he was obviously stupid, he let him leave before, he didn't move a bit, if he was an ordinary person, he would have run away without a trace, and then in the face of his attack, this guy was slow to react, if it wasn't for Hua Tianzong's woman to help him block the attack, this guy is afraid that he would be dead at this moment.
How could such a timid guy dare to attack a Jindan powerhouse like him, and even if he really had that guts, he would not pose any threat to himself.
Although the woman at the peak of Hua Tianzong's foundation building period has two spiritual treasures of not low grade, after all, she only has the cultivation of the peak of the foundation building period, and she doesn't even have a fake pill realm, and it is naturally impossible to win against a Jindan stage monk alone, and it is already extremely difficult to resist the continuous attacks of the other party.
The battle situation on this side is not good, and the situation on the other side is not much better, two Jindan stage monks against three Jindan stage monks, relying on the grade of the spirit treasure can resist for the time being, but as time continues, I am afraid that it will also be at a disadvantage, and it is naturally impossible to free up his hands to help the woman who only has the peak of foundation building.
At this moment, after the woman at the peak of the foundation building stage blocked the attack of the Jindan stage powerhouse, her body was obviously lost a lot, so that her entire body trembled slightly.
This scene was naturally seen by the Jindan period monk, and at this moment he showed a cruel and cold smile, and then mobilized all the true qi of his body, injected it into the spiritual treasure in his hand, and launched a fatal blow towards the woman of Hua Tianzong.
