In fact, whether it is for Li Xiuping or for the Qingying Monk, the sooner the better, but refining the elixir, Li Xiuping is not absolutely sure that he will be able to succeed, so he plans to wait for the willow tree in his body to fully recover, and the chance of success will be much greater at that time.

In order to bring that willow tree back to life, it is necessary to have enough sword intent, and there are actually many ways to obtain sword intent.

The easiest way to forge a sword, but the sword intent that can be obtained in this way is very limited, and it is completely fixed, the amount of sword intent obtained depends on the grade of the sword cast, if you cast the spirit sword, I am afraid it will take a lot of time, and it is not easy to search for materials, let alone the fairy sword.

With his current strength, even if he doesn't fail, it will take at least a month to cast an immortal sword, plus the time to search for materials, it is difficult to say whether he can produce one in half a year.

Of course, he can also release the news directly, as long as he says that he can forge immortal swords for other forces, but the materials need to be provided by the various forces themselves, which can save a lot of time and maximize his influence in the cultivation world, but this method is still too slow.

In addition to sword casting, alchemy can also increase sword intent, which has been confirmed before, but compared to sword casting, alchemy can get less sword intent, so it will only take more time.

However, alchemy has another advantage, that is, you can continue to master the skills of alchemy, and the pill that is refined can also get the effect of improving the sword intent, which is more cost-effective than casting a sword, and the medicinal materials for refining the pill are indeed much easier to find than the materials needed for casting a sword.

In addition to sword casting and alchemy, if you want to obtain sword intent, you can only fight with people, this is the most direct way to obtain sword intent, and it is also the way to obtain the most sword intent, but fighting is not a simple battle, but to reach your own limit, and even face death, and then gain insights from it.

The point is that there is such a thing as fighting, not that it happens when it happens. If others don't come to provoke him, he can't just go to someone else to fight for life and death, right? And it doesn't work to find those who are too weak, you can't do it if you look for something too strong, you can't fight if you don't have a grudge, and those who have a grudge are afraid of putting your own life into it......

After Li Xiuping squatted for a while, he sighed: "Wait a while, my current body has not fully recovered, and the probability of failure is not low if I refine rashly." ”

The Qing Ming Monk nodded.

Although he was excited, although he was eager to get the Soul Melting Pill, after all, he had waited for thousands of years, and it was not too long for a while.

Li Xiuping continued: "Find the remaining medicinal materials first, and then find a suitable time, you should be able to refine them." ”

The Qingming monk was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I've been waiting for so long, it's not a while, you don't have to have any pressure." ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It's not all for the seniors, after all, if this elixir can really be refined, it can directly solve a lot of troubles that can't be solved." ”

The Qing Ming Monk nodded.

Along the way, wherever Li Xiuping goes, there will almost be a lot of forces and strong people appearing, and they are all here to pull a relationship with Li Xiuping, either to use Li Xiuping's reputation to gain the corresponding reputation, or to let Li Xiuping help them forge swords, as for whether it is a fairy sword or a spirit sword, it depends on the range that these forces or strong people can bear.

Along the way, there was no big change, and with these forces or strong people, Li Xiuping directly collected the medicinal materials needed to refine the Soul Melting Pill one after another.

As Li Xiuping and others are getting closer and closer to Emperor Wu City, there are more and more rumors that are unfavorable to Li Xiuping, which makes Li Xiuping more and more sure that these rumors must be related to Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower.

At this moment, everyone entered a small city, and for unnecessary trouble, the blue water unicorn also directly transformed into a middle-aged man in blue, but became the highlight of the group, because this guy looks like a rich man, whether this image is with Li Xiuping or with Qingming Jushi, it is somewhat incompatible.

Li Xiuping is used to being thrifty, he is wearing an ordinary black robe all the year round, pinning a firewood knife, hanging a wine jug, and his whole body is worth some money except for the hosta on his head, and there is really nothing special about it.

Although the Qingying monk carried a sword on his back, he was really not particular about his dress, and he was a thin old man, so he didn't look like a sword cultivator who could use a sword, but like a servant who specialized in carrying swords for people. Of course, this sword is definitely not for Li Xiuping's back, and naturally it can't be for the blue water unicorn like that rich man, because the image of the blue water unicorn at the moment is not at all like a sword that can be used.

As for the "Fire Spirit Real Man", his image and temperament are better than Li Xiuping and Qingming Layman, but in fact, it is not much better, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a swaggering and deceitful magic stick.

It is very strange for the four of them to walk together, and the order of the four is also strange, Li Xiuping, who is obviously the youngest and poorest, is at the forefront, like the leader of this group of people, the old man with the sword on his back and the Taoist priest who is like a god, and the one who walks at the end is the rich man who seems to be the most noble and rich.

In this way, where the four of them passed, it naturally attracted the attention of many people, and Li Xiuping didn't care much about this, anyway, for the monks on the mountain, his whereabouts must not be hidden, so it didn't matter what the people under the mountain thought.

All in all, as long as it doesn't break into the world with a spirit beast and scare ordinary people, it's already good.

Qing Ming Monk said with a smile: "Judging from the current attitude of the various forces, the impact of the previous fairy sword has exceeded my imagination, and now even if it is the Taiyi Pavilion and the Stargazing Tower, if you want to make a move against you, I am afraid that you will have to consider one or two." ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "The current situation is what I expected, and the situation is not as optimistic as the predecessors thought." ”

The Qingming monk was stunned.

Li Xiuping continued: "Along the way, although all the forces seem to be showing favor on the surface, they can actually keep their distance from me, which should be related to the recent rumors, so although I can forge the fairy sword, these forces still have a wait-and-see attitude, if I have a conflict with Taiyi Pavilion or Stargazing Tower, these forces will also have a wait-and-see attitude." ”

The Qing Ming Monk nodded slightly.

Li Xiuping continued: "If you want to completely change the attitude of these people, I'm afraid there is only the Soul Melting Pill. ”

The Qing Ming Monk frowned and said, "Are you going to start refining the Soul Melting Pill?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Refining some ordinary pills first, firstly, to be proficient in alchemy, and secondly, I can also recover my body through these pills, anyway, there is still a period of time before entering Martial Emperor City, since Taiyi Pavilion and Stargazing Tower have not made a move until now, then I should not make a move before I enter Martial Emperor City, but what is brewing in Martial Emperor City waiting for me to jump into it myself." ”

The Qingying Monk continued: "Therefore, as long as the Soul Melting Pill is refined before entering the Martial Emperor City, the plans of the Taiyi Pavilion and the Stargazing Tower can be completely smashed. ”

Li Xiuping nodded and said: "The premise is that it can be successfully refined, if it fails, whether to continue to enter Martial Emperor City or not, I'm afraid I will have to reconsider." ”

The Qingming monk also nodded, his expression couldn't help but be a little heavy.

It's not because he's worried about the failure of the Soul Melting Pill, but because the various rumors he's heard during this time are really unfavorable to Li Xiuping.

First of all, almost everyone thinks that it is because of Li Xiuping that Penglai Xianzhou will collapse and become Penglai Zhou, which directly leads to the loss of Penglai Xianzhou such a secret realm.

This change may have little impact on those large sects, but for some small sects, it is a big loss.

Before the collapse of Penglai Xianzhou, these small sects could still obtain the qualification to enter Penglai Xianzhou through the Immortal Ascension Conference, and they could also obtain benefits through Penglai Xianzhou, but after the collapse of Penglai Xianzhou, they are now directly divided and occupied by the major sects, and there is nothing to do with these small sects of them.

In addition, the Immortal Ascension Conference has always been a grand event in the cultivation world, and now that Penglai Xianzhou no longer exists, this Ascension Conference naturally has no meaning, and some sects that want to rely on the Ascension Conference to get benefits can only find another way.

Take Yunzhou as an example, although there is a difference between the strength and weakness of the various sects, as long as there are one or two geniuses in the sect, if these two geniuses can achieve good results in the Immortal Ascension Conference, then no matter whether they can obtain the qualification to enter Penglai Xianzhou in the end, they will be able to get a lot of influence and benefits in the local area.

Now that the Penglai Immortal Boat has collapsed, the Immortal Ascension Conference will naturally be canceled, so many sects that want to rely on the Ascension Conference to make changes have no hope, among which forces like the Chen family have been the most affected and impacted.

The collapse of the Penglai Immortal Boat has a huge impact on the entire cultivation world, and it is not as simple as canceling an immortal ascension conference.

In this way, these sects that have been impacted and affected will naturally attribute the blame to Li Xiuping.

Secondly, it is because of the so-called demons.

Although this matter has gradually been ignored by people because of the Kraken, as it gets closer and closer to Emperor Wu City, there are still a lot of rumors.

Some people say that because of the collapse of the Penglai Xianzhou, the demons who were originally imprisoned in the Penglai Xianzhou were able to enter this world, bringing disasters to this world, which was originally an unverifiable rumor, but because of the real fire spirit, the rumors about the demon race became more and more real.

Then the blame for this crime will naturally be attributed to Li Xiuping's head.

There is also the sudden attack of the kraken, which is also because of Penglai Xianzhou, which is also blamed on Li Xiuping.

Because of the war launched by the Kraken against the human world, the entire human world has suffered a lot of losses, whether it is under the mountain or on the mountain, there are many people who died in this war, so the sacrifices of these people will naturally be blamed on Li Xiuping's head.

It may not be obvious elsewhere, but in the territory of Emperor Wu City, especially as they continue to get closer to Emperor Wu City, whether it is on the mountain or under the mountain, the resentment against Li Xiuping is really not small at all, many people mention Li Xiuping, it is so hateful that they grit their teeth, if it weren't for Li Xiuping's fame, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't know Li Xiuping at all, I am afraid that they would have rushed up and fought hard with Li Xiuping.

Although those sacrificed people may not have much to do with them, in their hearts, Li Xiuping is a big devil, the culprit who brought disasters to the world, and an existence that must not continue to live.

These are sentient beings.

They don't care what the truth is, as long as many people are saying that a person is heinous, then even if they don't know that person and haven't seen that person, they will definitely feel that person is indeed heinous, and then that person will naturally be really heinous.

After Li Xiuping and the others entered the city, he first found a place to eat, and by the way, he listened to the curses of the people around him, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

It's impossible to say that Li Xiuping doesn't care at all, but even if he cares, there is no way, he can't stand up and defend himself, right? If you really do that, not only will it not have any effect, but it will put you in a more difficult situation.

Since this is the case, it is better to let them say it, anyway, no matter what these people say or scold, they still have to eat when they should eat, and they still have to practice when they should practice.

It's just that Li Xiuping has a new understanding of this world, or he has an inexplicable fear of this kind of trumped-up crime, although these people who scold him are just ordinary people, even if they are not ordinary people, at most they have reached the level of the Jindan period, such an existence is really nothing in his eyes, at least it is impossible to pose a threat to him.

But now, under the influence of this statement, a powerful force has been formed that cannot be ignored, if all the people who think he is guilty come forward, not to mention him Li Xiuping alone, even if it is the Guanchao Academy and the Sword Washing Pool, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry.

Ironically, Li Xiuping actually saw in these people the power of faith, a kind of brilliance unique to mortals, and a determination that human beings have always wanted to destroy a certain existence......

Li Xiuping's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he raised his eyes to look outside.

At this time, two people walked in through the door. Both were old men, one was dressed in white, the other was bald, and they were wearing big red robes, and the two stood together in stark contrast.

The key is that Li Xiuping still knows these two people, one is from Drifting Snow City, and the other is from Incense Burner Mountain.

After the two entered the door, they walked directly towards Li Xiuping.

Whether it is Li Xiuping or the Qingming monk, or the blue water unicorn, they are all facing the enemy at this moment.

The two Tribulation Period Saints, once they really want to make a move, they don't have any power to parry at all.

The saint in Drifting Snow City took the lead and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi doesn't need to be nervous, we have no malicious intentions here, we just want to know something from Li Gongzi." ”

Li Xiuping glanced at the blue water unicorn, and then the blue water unicorn got up and gave up his position, and at the same time, the "fire spirit real person" also got up and gave up two positions.

The two saints sat down, but they didn't directly ask them what they wanted to know before, but listened to the discussions of the people around them, and asked with a smile: "What does Gongzi Li think about this matter?" ”

Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

The saint in Drifting Snow City smiled and said, "Being misunderstood by so many people, doesn't Li Gongzi feel aggrieved?" ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "What about being aggrieved, is it possible that I can still kill them all?" ”

The saint in Drifting Snow City smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that immortal sword can't be killed." ”

Li Xiuping smiled and said, "The two seniors came over on purpose, and I don't know what advice I have. ”

Whether it is Incense Burner Mountain or Drifting Snow City, Li Xiuping has been in contact with it before, so he really doesn't have a good feeling.

The two saints each glanced at each other, and it was the saint in Drifting Snow City who spoke: "Li Gongzi has fought with the Fire Spirit True Person before, so I want to ask Li Gongzi, what do you think of the Demon Clan?" ”

Li Xiuping was stunned.

The saint from Drifting Snow City continued: "To be precise, what is Gongzi Li's opinion on dealing with the Demon Clan? ”

Li Xiuping looked at these two saints, but he still didn't quite understand.

The saint of the incense burner mountain spoke at this time: "Amitabha! To tell you the truth, the two of us came to Li Shizhu this time in the hope that Li Shizhu could help. ”

Li Xiuping asked this time, "What do you say?" ”

The sage of the incense burner mountain continued: "Master Li Shi has fought with the demonized fire spirit real person before, and he has successfully killed him......

He paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to explain this matter clearly for a while, but quickly continued: "Although I don't know very well how Li Shizhu can do it, after all, after the fire spirit is truly demonized, even we will be difficult to deal with, but Li Shizhu can kill it, and he must know how to deal with the demon clan." ”

Speaking of this, the two saints both looked at Li Xiuping, as if they wanted to see something from Li Xiuping's face.

Hearing this, Li Xiuping finally understood the intention of the two.

It seems that what the Qing Ming Monk said before was right, the Seven Holy Lands knew something about the Demon Clan, and now they came to him to understand the method of dealing with the Demon Clan, that is to say, the news that came out of the Demon Clan before was by no means a fictitious thing, and it was not just a coincidence that the Fire Spirit True Man suddenly used the Demon Clan's secret method.

In this world, in the entire cultivation, there are still many things that most people don't know, including him Li Xiuping, because there are seven holy lands, four cities, and the existence of super forces such as the three mountains, ordinary people naturally can't get in touch with those things.

As for how the news of the demon clan came out before, I am afraid it will also become an eternal mystery, and as for why Li Xiuping happened to be able to contact this kind of thing from the fire spirit real person, I am afraid it will also become an unsolvable puzzle.

And although the Seven Holy Lands know the existence of the demons and have a certain understanding of the demons, they don't have much experience in dealing with the demons, or they don't have a way to directly eliminate the demons......
