As time continued, all the materials in the furnace were refined, and then Li Xiuping quickly sealed with both hands, fusing the refined materials in turn, and soon condensed a sword embryo in the furnace.

The sword embryo was formed, Li Xiuping's mind moved, and the sword embryo appeared on the casting table, Li Xiuping grabbed the casting hammer on the casting platform and began to forge the sword embryo, while telling these people about some situations that need to be paid attention to when forging, and how to better integrate their sword intent into the spirit sword.

There were already many swordsmiths present, and at this moment, they were all engrossed, not only watching Li Xiuping's forging process, but also listening to Li Xiuping's narration, and writing down the two, which was really not an easy thing.

When the spirit sword gradually took shape, Li Xiuping stopped forging, so the sword became a semi-finished product.

It's not that Li Xiuping doesn't want to complete the forging, but such a semi-finished product makes it easier for these people to get some important information from it, after all, intact spirit swords, these people have not only seen them, but also forged them.

Li Xiuping threw the half-finished product to a swordsmith and said, "Let's see if we can get anything, and then try to break through your current level according to what you have obtained, I will watch from the sidelines, and if there is any problem, I will also make corrections." ”

Everyone nodded at the same time, and then they all got busy.

Li Xiuping said to the "Fire Spirit True Man": "Call those alchemists over too." ”

The Fire Spirit nodded and turned to leave.

The Qing Ming monk frowned and said, "You want to instruct them in alchemy and sword forging at the same time?" ”

Li Xiuping nodded.

The Qing Ming monk said: "But this has a great loss of your divine sense, and if something goes wrong, the gain outweighs the loss." ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "The level of these people is not low, the reason why they can't progress is just because of the influence of some preconceived notions, I helped them break this stereotype before, in fact, half of it has been completed, and the remaining half is just to feel it myself, so I don't need to pay too much attention." Besides, since Emperor Wu City is in such a hurry, it must really need these things urgently, and the sooner they can raise their level, they can also send more pills and magic weapons over as soon as possible. ”

The Qingying monk nodded, and said with a smile: "You all have something to do, just I have nothing to do for a day, although it is also important to ensure your safety, but you can't fight directly with the demons, I still feel ......."

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Think it's a bit overkill? ”

Before the Qingying monk could speak, Li Xiuping said: "That's also something that can't be helped, who made me weak, but I may be targeted by the demon clan at any time." ”

Qing Ming Jushi smiled and said: "I just got cheap and behaved, just complain a few words, you kid is expensive, if you live, there will be fewer deaths on the side of Emperor Wu City, and even if I go to Emperor Wu City, at most I will kill a few more monsters, obviously the former is more meaningful, otherwise Emperor Wu City would not let so many strong people protect you at this time." ”

Li Xiuping asked, "Can the seniors see how many strong people there are in this city?" ”

The Qing Ming monk shook his head and said, "Anyway, there are a lot, even if it is a monster in the Tribulation Period, it will be difficult for me to get close to you for a while, and this time is enough for me to take you to a safe place." ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It's not all used to protect me, right?" ”

The Qingming monk nodded and said, "There are also a lot of girls surnamed He around her, I'm afraid it has something to do with the inheritance she got before." ”

Li Xiuping was stunned.

The Qing Ming monk continued: "You talked to the one in Martial Emperor City, but you didn't talk about this little girl?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said, "I said something, but I didn't understand about the inheritance." ”

The Qingming Monk nodded, and just at this time, the "Fire Spirit True Man" came over with those alchemists, and the two stopped chatting.

The Qingming monk said: "You guys are busy, I'll take a look around, and it's really a bit unpleasant to do nothing like this." ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Senior, don't go too far, I'm afraid of death." ”

The Qingying monk just smiled slightly.

After the Qing Ming monk left, Li Xiuping also restrained his smile and began to guide these people in alchemy and refining.

These people are of different ages, and the level of alchemy and refining is also different, and Li Xiuping's main task is to enable these alchemists and refiners to improve their own level in a short period of time, so that they can refine higher-grade pills and treasures, so the worse the level, the easier it is to solve, and the trouble is those with a high level.

This is actually the same principle as cultivation, if the realm is low, it will be much easier to make a breakthrough, and if the realm is high, it will be more difficult to make a breakthrough, so Li Xiuping planned to start with those with a low level, so he divided these alchemists and refiners into three batches and solved them in turn.

The first batch of people took almost three days, and almost all of them made progress, and then Li Xiuping selected some pills that were just suitable for this group of people, and matched their own level to let these people refine them freely.

The second batch of people used exactly five days, and the third batch took a full ten days, adding up to nearly twenty days, barely completing the task assigned by Emperor Wu City, and during this time, a batch of pills and magic weapons were also sent here, but the number was not much, and compared with the needs of Emperor Wu City, it could even be said to be insignificant.

Although Li Xiuping has improved these people, the refining methods of these people naturally cannot be compared with Li Xiuping, after all, Li Xiuping has the help of immortal treasures, and he also has his own unique refining methods. A piece of the same elixir, Li Xiuping may only need half a day to complete, but in the hands of these people, it will take two or three days to do it, and the refining of the weapon will take even longer, after all, the refining of materials is much more difficult than the refining of medicinal materials.

And in the next few days, Li Xiuping will also join in refining.

Therefore, to help these people improve their level in the front is to ensure quality, and Li Xiuping is needed to ensure the output.

After another ten days like this, Li Xiuping and others sent out another batch of pills and magic weapons, and then the silence on the side of Maple Leaf City was completely broken.

At this moment, Li Xiuping was still refining a pill, and all the alchemists and refiners were also engrossed in the things at hand, when the Qingying monk suddenly appeared in the courtyard and said, "Everything in our hands has stopped, I'm afraid we're leaving." ”

Everyone was shocked, and all the medicinal materials and materials in the furnace were destroyed in an instant, and then they looked at the Qingying monk with a puzzled expression.

The Qingying monk spoke: "I just got the news, and a lot of strong people suddenly appeared out of thin air around Maple Leaf City, although they are all human monks, but these people are coming strangely, obviously related to the demon clan, and they are obviously coming for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, a powerful aura appeared in Maple Leaf City, and then rushed towards the outside of the city.

At the same time, He Feng also came here with a group of people and said, "Let's go to the Guiling Sect in the south first. ”

As he spoke, he handed over some things to the Qingying Monk, and continued: "Next, only the seniors can be in charge, and the Martial Emperor City side needs to stay and resist." ”

The Qing Ming Monk took those things, there was the spirit boat responsible for the flight, and some of the next arrangements.

The Qingying monk directly drove the spirit boat, and then took the lead in standing on the spirit boat, and said, "Come up." ”

When the words fell, the blue water unicorn also ran over in a hurry and took the lead in boarding the spirit boat.

As everyone got on the boat, it began to rise into the air and headed south.

This time, there was only this one spirit boat that rose from Maple Leaf City, and it was obvious that no one else would leave Maple Leaf City directly.

Looking down from above, the entire Maple Leaf City looked extremely chaotic, with countless monks and soldiers constantly running towards the city tower, looking like a great enemy was coming.

On the spirit boat, Li Xiuping withdrew his eyes, glanced at the people behind him, and asked, "If we encounter interception on the road, I'm afraid we will ......."

The Qingying Monk said bitterly: "If that's the case, there is no way to do it, once you are trapped in Maple Leaf City, the situation will only get worse." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, but there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

As the spirit boat headed south, it began to feel the aftermath of the battle, and judging from the momentum, the battle situation was not easy.

Feeling the battle situation, the face of the Qingying monk also became a little heavy, after all, if he was really going to be intercepted and killed, he was the only one responsible for ensuring the safety of Li Xiuping and others.

Now it has only been more than a month since the war with the demons, and the entire Martial Emperor City has been unable to draw manpower, and if it continues, as the losses of the Martial Emperor City become greater and greater, the battle situation will only become more and more anxious, if you can't get timely support, let alone Martial Emperor City, the entire coast of the East China Sea will fall.

But now that the four major cities are fighting against the demon clan, and almost all the cultivation forces in the entire cultivation world have joined the battle, where can they find reinforcements to support Emperor Wu City?

There has never been a battle like this that can affect the entire cultivation world, even if it was the battle with the demon clan before, at most it would be subsided by Qingqiu Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, but now that the three mountains have been involved, the battle has not only not subsided, but has become more and more anxious, if it continues like this, not to mention the four cities, the whole world is afraid that it will become a battlefield, and it will not only be the cultivation world that will be affected at that time, but the entire world.

According to the understanding of the Qing Ming Monk, there was a similar war ten thousand years ago, and there is no record of the specific situation of that battle, and the only thing that can be known is that many inheritances were cut off in that battle, even including the ascension.

Ten thousand years ago, there were so many great powers, there were so many powerful inheritances, and they paid such a heavy price against the demons, but now the inheritance is broken, the immortal road collapses, and the demon invasion is again, how can the entire human race resist?

If they can't resist the attack of the demons, then even if they leave Maple Leaf City now, where can they flee in the future?

Li Xiuping had the same idea in his heart at this moment, and at this time, the faces of the two changed almost at the same time.

I saw that the air in front of me began to fluctuate violently, and then huge fireballs continued to appear out of thin air.

After these fireballs appeared, they directly brought up black smoke and rushed towards this spirit boat.

The Qing Ming Monk was the first to leave the Spirit Boat, standing in front of the Spirit Boat out of thin air, the sword intent surging all around him, and then condensed into a long sword, like a tide, rushing towards those fireballs.

With a loud roar, those fireballs continued to explode, and a rain of fire suddenly fell in front of the entire front, and between the mountains and fields, a raging fire burned directly, and black smoke billowed out.

The Qingying Monk said in a deep voice, "Return to Maple Leaf City." ”

Li Xiuping was just about to steer the spirit boat back to Maple Leaf City, when huge fireballs appeared in the sky and smashed towards the spirit boat.

Li Xiuping directly took out countless spirit stones, and then integrated all these spirit stones into the spirit boat to drive the spirit boat's defense.

As soon as the spirit boat's defense was driven, those fireballs smashed directly on the spirit boat, and the entire spirit boat suddenly shook violently, and the height also dropped again and again.

Li Xiuping was driving the spirit boat at this moment, and his face became more and more heavy.

These seemingly ordinary fireballs actually contain extremely powerful power, under the attack of these fireballs, not only can he not drive the spirit boat to get rid of it, but even the defense on the spirit boat is a little unable to support, if it continues like this, I am afraid that before the spirit boat lands, it will be destroyed by all those fireballs.

Li Xiuping directly took out all the spirit stones on his body and said to He Feng: "You control the spirit boat." ”

After speaking, without waiting for He Feng to speak, his body also left the spirit boat and appeared in the sky above the spirit boat, actually to fight those fireballs with his own strength.

After Li Xiuping left the Lingzhou defense, he directly drove those bamboo slips and spread them out above, forming the first line of defense, and then drove the fairy sword, constantly impacting those fireballs, temporarily relieving the pressure of the Lingzhou.

The pressure of the spirit boat was relieved, but the attacks of those fireballs were all on Li Xiuping, which made Li Xiuping miserable.

If it weren't for the previous martial arts knot, his physical body had gained a huge improvement, even with the help of immortal treasures, he would not be able to withstand an attack of this intensity at this moment.

At this time, a few figures quickly approached this side, and then one by one runes began to condense and form in the sky above Li Xiuping, stacking layer by layer, blocking those fireballs a lot.

Four powerhouses of Martial Emperor City appeared at the same time, guarding the spirit boat.

With the help of these four people, Li Xiuping also returned to the spirit boat and drove the spirit boat back to Maple Leaf City.

Li Xiuping could naturally see that the attack of these fireballs was to force them back to Maple Leaf City, but now they had no other way than to return to Maple Leaf City, and with only this little person now, they couldn't break away from those fireball attacks at all.

As soon as the spirit boat approached Maple Leaf City, an even more powerful force appeared out of thin air, smashing on those runes.

The rune barely lasted long, and it exploded entirely, and the four powerhouses of Martial Emperor City also vomited blood instantly, and then that force smashed directly on the spirit boat, and the defense on the spirit boat could not resist this force at all, and it directly collapsed completely.

Almost instantly, the entire spirit boat collapsed in the air, Li Xiuping only felt a roar in his head, and in a hurry, he sacrificed that town ruler, and released all the sword intent around his body, pouring it into that town ruler.

There was a loud roar, and the town ruler exploded directly, and the violent force directly rushed towards the surroundings.

Li Xiuping drove those bamboo slips and the copper bowl again, and protected everyone in it.

The copper bowl had just appeared, and everyone suddenly felt that it was dark in front of them, and the entire copper bowl directly took everyone and smashed on the ground below, and the entire ground exploded on the spot!

At this moment, Li Xiuping only felt that the bones in his body were falling apart, first put away the copper bowl, and then looked around with a blank face.

He never thought that the previous force was so powerful, not only did it instantly break through the defense of the four distraction period powerhouses, but even the immortal treasure was destroyed in an instant, if it weren't for the power of the immortal treasure's explosion, I am afraid that it would not be able to block that attack.

Although that attack was blocked, the power of the Immortal Treasure explosion also directly affected the four Martial Emperor City powerhouses, and the four people who had already suffered heavy losses naturally could no longer resist the power of the Immortal Treasure's explosion, and they fell almost instantly.

If it weren't for Li Xiuping's final sacrifice of those bamboo slips and the copper bowl to protect everyone, I am afraid that they would have ended up like the four powerhouses in the distraction period.

Although the forged sword and the copper bowl blocked that force, the bamboo slips were almost completely destroyed, and the cracks that had already appeared on the copper bowl also became a lot larger, spreading almost the entire copper bowl.

Although this copper bowl was not directly destroyed, if it wants to continue to be used for defense in the future, I am afraid that it is impossible, at most it can only be used for storage.

Li Xiuping only felt that his mind was buzzing, but other than that, he couldn't hear any sound, around him, those alchemists and refiners were in a similar situation at the moment, many of them were even more embarrassed than him, and there were still a few people lying on the ground, all of them were bleeding, and all of them were shattered and died.

At this time, the willow tree in Li Xiuping's body began to release a stream of energy, which instantly restored Li Xiuping's clarity.

At this time, those fireballs kept falling down, and Li Xiuping didn't have time to think about it at all, so he directly drove the furnace tripod to resist those fireballs, and then drove the Taoist immortal treasure to interact with the furnace tripod.

In this way, it can be regarded as temporarily resisting the attack of those fireballs.

Li Xiuping opened his mouth and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

No one answered, and everyone remained at a loss until this moment.

Several monks who had already reached the primordial infant stage were the first to come back to their senses and shook their heads.

Li Xiuping continued: "Return to Maple Leaf City." ”

Hearing Li Xiuping's words, the people who were still alive all moved, and with Li Xiuping's defense, they began to retreat towards Maple Leaf City.

As the living arose, only the dead were left on the ground.

Li Xiuping glanced at these dead people, and his eyes suddenly froze, because one of them was actually the female cultivator of Huatianzong.

For a while, Li Xiuping only felt as if he was in a different world, not long ago, this woman was still waving and smiling at her, and that scene was like it was still yesterday, and it was like a world away.

Li Xiuping didn't dare to think about it, and with a wave of his hand, he put all the corpses of these people into the copper bowl, and then continued to drive the two immortal treasures to resist the attacks of those fireballs, and protect the rest of the people to retreat to Maple Leaf City.

Above the sky, powerful auras continued to emerge, and they were all powerhouses of the Stargazing Tower.

After these powerhouses of the stargazing tower appeared, their eyes quickly locked on Li Xiuping below, and then killed Li Xiuping at the same time......

Some people died, but not completely......
