As Li Xiuping revealed his identity, the entire venue was in an uproar. Everyone's eyes fell on the young man.
The woman and girl looked stunned. They never expected that after going around in a circle, this young man was actually the Li Xiuping they were looking for.
A green-robed Taoist with white hair and a boyish face stepped forward, made a sign with one hand, smiled kindly, and said: "I am a poor Taoist from Jiuyuan Mountain, Zhang Xuanling. I came here to hope that Brother Li can join me in Jiuyuan Mountain to practice..."
Before he finished speaking, an old man with red hair and red robe interrupted: "It is better to go to your Jiuyuan Mountain than to come to my Xuanqing Sect. After all, my Xuanqing Sect's reputation in Yunzhou is much greater than that of your Jiuyuan Mountain."
He smiled at Li Xiuping and introduced himself: "I, the sixth elder of the Xuanqing Sect, Zhao Chengkuan, have met Brother Li. As long as Brother Li is willing to join our Xuanqing Sect, I can now guarantee that all the resources of the Xuanqing Sect, Li
Brothers can enjoy it first."
The Taoist priest from Jiuyuan Mountain continued: "The reputation is great, but I am afraid that it is not worthy of the name. Who in the entire Zhou Dynasty does not know that I, Jiuyuan Mountain, are the authentic Taoist sect, and one of the nine sects, but I have always been low-key, unlike your Xuanqing sect.
To do any trivial things, you need to sign up first.”
The elder of the Xuanqing Sect obviously had a bad temper. At this moment, his beard and hair were all flaring, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he yelled: "The surnamed Zhang, do you want to fight?"
Zhang Xuanling said with a smile: "Others are afraid of you, Old Monster Zhao, but I am not afraid of you. Since you want to fight, I will naturally accompany you, so that others can see who is the number one sect in Yunzhou."
.”
After saying that, the two of them actually rolled up their sleeves, as if they were going to fight to the death.
Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but take a step back and keep a distance from these two people. Those were two Nascent Soul-level powerhouses. If they really wanted to fight, it would be a real fight between gods. If it affected them, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
At this time, Li Xiuping said: "Seniors, please be patient."
The two Nascent Soul level bosses actually calmed down. After all, in the final analysis, this matter still depends on Li Xiuping's own wishes.
Seeing the two old gods calm down, Li Xiuping also breathed a sigh of relief.
If you want to fight somewhere else, it doesn't matter if you kill or maim him, just don't fight here. Originally, Mr. Ouye didn't leave anything for his apprentice, and the only blacksmith shop couldn't be destroyed by these two old guys.
"You have also seen that this is the rule set by my master..." Li Xiuping pointed to the couplet in front of the door and continued, "So no matter where I go, I cannot forge swords."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
They traveled thousands of miles to come to this remote and barren country, originally because of Li Xiuping's identity as a swordsmith. But now that this guy said that he doesn't make swords, it doesn't mean that their trip will be futile.
Return with success?
Many people present even made a guarantee before leaving, saying that they would definitely bring Li Xiuping back to the mountain gate. If he just went back like this, where would he put his old face?
Soon many people began to whisper and discuss.
In any case, this Li Xiuping is the only disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, the master swordsmith. Even if he doesn't make swords, he can't be left in another family. After all, no one can guarantee that this guy will suddenly make swords one day.
Secondly, according to the news from the Night Travel Division, Li Xiuping not only inherited Mr. Ou Ye's mantle, he is also a ruthless man who can kill monsters with his bare hands. This shows that not only can he make swords, but he is also talented.
.
If you can't bring back a swordsmith, it would be a good idea to bring back a disciple with basic qualifications. As long as you keep this child in your own sect, no matter whether he can make swords in the future, at least there will be no loss.
"Whether little brothers can forge swords or not, our Huayang Sect welcomes little brothers to join us." A thin old man looked at the people talking around him with a smile on his face.
Although he also came because of Li Xiuping's identity as a swordsmith, Huayang Sect is incomparable to Xuanqing Sect, Jiuyuan Mountain and other large sects. Now that so many people are standing together, even if it is his turn, Huayang Sect will not be able to compare.
Zong, so the old man felt that now was the opportunity.
Everyone was hesitating, but he stood up without hesitation. If nothing else, Li Xiuping's favorable impression of Huayang Sect would not be bad. After that, as long as he bites the bullet and spends his money, he might actually get it.
The opportunity brought Li Xiuping back to Huayang Sect.
For others, having Li Xiuping under his command is like adding more power to a tiger, but for Huayang Sect, it is a timely help. Because even if Li Xiuping does not make swords, he is still a disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, the great master of sword making. Although Mr. Ou Ye
He is dead, but the favors he left behind during his lifetime are still there. These favors may be able to help Huayang Sect at a critical moment.
Everyone immediately looked at the leader of the Huayang Sect, who had no one to send and could only come forward in person, and frowned slightly. This old guy took advantage of the loophole and immediately increased the Huayang Sect's presence.
.
In fact, Li Xiuping did have a good impression of Huayang Sect, and he also wanted to find a sect to practice in. This sect should not be too big, nor too small. Although Huayang Sect is not that ideal, it is still suitable.
Because he has no spiritual roots, once he enters a large sect where geniuses gather, he will not enjoy any resources at all. He will even be squeezed out, overwhelmed, and ridiculed. This is unnecessary; but if the sect is too small and has no resources,
If you don't have any background, you might as well stay in the Night Travel Division. At the very least, you can learn the ability to slay demons.
"Old seniors, don't rush to conclusions." Li Xiuping looked at the head of Huayang Sect and said with a smile, "Besides not making swords, I don't have spiritual roots."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and then asked: "Even so, are you still willing to take me in?"
No spiritual roots?
There was another uproar on the field, but the eyes of people looking at Li Xiuping were obviously full of disbelief.
First, there was news from the Night Travel Division that Li Xiuping had killed demonic beasts, and at worst the demonic beasts could rival monks in the Qi Refining Stage. A person without spiritual roots would never be able to do this; secondly,
That's Li Xiuping's performance.
A person without spiritual roots is a real waste; it is impossible for a waste to have the kind of confidence that Li Xiuping has.
Li Xiuping is indeed too confident, and he doesn't look like a person without spiritual roots. A boy of thirteen or fourteen can still be so neither humble nor overbearing, nor favoured, humiliated, or frightened by so many big figures in the spiritual world. Even those so-called geniuses
Difficult to do.
Is it a test? To test the attitude of these sects? But Li Xiuping's eyes looked so sincere, not like he was lying at all.
At this time, everyone present had to think carefully.
If this Li Xiuping has the talent for cultivation, then even if he has to obey his master's orders and never forge swords in his life, it will be nothing if he brings them back to the sect. But if he doesn't forge swords and has no spiritual roots, then he is a real waste.
One, bringing such a person back to the sect will definitely damage the sect’s reputation.
The key is that Li Xiuping is Mr. Ou Ye's disciple, his only disciple. You can't ignore it when he takes him back. If something happens to his sect, not only will he be brought up to sue, but also those who owe Ou Ye will be sued.
Mr. Ye's favor-seeking people are just asking for trouble.
Li Xiuping noticed the changes in everyone's expressions, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Sure enough, without spiritual roots and without forging swords, in the eyes of these people, they were just useless scraps.
"I do not believe."
A woman's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.
Everyone looked along the sound and saw the young lady of the Chen family, Chen Wanrong, whose reputation had spread throughout Yunzhou.
He entered the qi training realm at the age of twelve, and is now at the fifth level of qi training at the age of fourteen. Such talent has indeed not been seen in the entire Yunzhou for a hundred years.
Facing so many people's attention, even Chen Wanrong, the proud daughter of heaven, could not help but have subtle changes in her expression. Compared with Li Xiuping of the same age, it actually gave people a kind of "judgment".
illusion.
"I did hear before I came that you have no spiritual roots, but -" At this point, her words suddenly stopped.
She saw with her own eyes that Li Xiuping killed three foundation-building monsters. This was definitely not something that a person without spiritual roots could do, but she couldn't say it because this was also an opportunity for the Chen family.
Li Xiuping has no spiritual roots, and if she doesn't forge swords, other forces will give up. When everyone gives up, and she goes out to recruit on behalf of the Chen family, there will be no reason to fail.
But she was halfway through her words and had to finish her words, so she changed her words and said: "Similarly, some people say that you have killed monsters with your bare hands."
Li Xiuping looked at her and smiled slightly. Others didn't know what she was thinking, but Li Xiuping knew it very well. Li Xiuping was a little curious, what would her expression be like if it was confirmed that she did not have spiritual roots?
"Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you test it."
The sixth elder of the Xuan Qing Sect was really quick-tempered. At this time, he walked out and took out a talisman and said: "This is my Xuan Qing Sect's spirit detecting talisman. No matter how bad the spiritual root is, it can detect it."
After saying that, he made a seal with both hands, and the talisman suddenly glowed with light, floating out of thin air, and then a ray of light directly enveloped Li Xiuping.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the talisman at this moment, for fear of missing any detail.
A long time passed like this, but there was no response from the talisman.
Ten breaths, no response, twenty breaths, still no response, thirty breaths, forty breaths, still no response.
The world was silent, and everyone could hear their own breathing clearly.
"Hahaha, you really have no spiritual roots."
A laugh suddenly broke the silence. Although the sound was not very loud, it was extremely loud at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were turned to the guy who dared to tell the truth at this moment. If looks could kill, the more than 100 kilograms of meat on this guy's body would have been turned into ashes long ago.
Are you not scolding them for being so dim-sighted that they can't even tell whether they have spiritual roots or not?
The head of the Huayang Sect looked ugly, as if he was mourning for his heir, because the guy who shouted these words was his disciple.
What the hell are you talking about? To tell the truth, other people don’t have eyes? Can’t see? I want you to tell me. But he couldn’t get angry at this time.
The red-haired old man named Zhao Chengkuan took back the spirit-detecting talisman with an embarrassed look on his face. He coughed and said with a smile: "If the grade of the spirit bone is too high, this spirit-detecting talisman will not be able to detect it."
After saying that, he walked into the crowd dejectedly, and the old Taoist named Zhang Xuanling also hid in the crowd with a tacit understanding.
"Is there anyone who is willing to take me in now?" Li Xiuping asked.
All the people either raised their heads to look at the sky, or looked down at their toes. In the end, their eyes unanimously fell on the Huayang Sect group.
