Volume 1: The Sword Comes from the West Chapter 4: Dislike from Scrap
Everyone is hiding and retreating.
It is true that no one wants to bring a useless person who can neither make swords nor practice cultivation into the family, just to cause trouble. If it were not for their face, these people would have left long ago.
At this time, someone needs to stand up and save face for them. Even if there is no one, they will kick someone out.
Chen Wanrong's mood was complicated. She couldn't understand how a person with no spiritual roots could kill three foundation-building monsters at the same time. She saw that with her own eyes, and there was no way it was fake. But the test just now,
There is no lie. Does she really want to bring back someone who doesn't make swords and has no spiritual roots?
Just when she was hesitating, a sigh rang out from the crowd, and the head of the Huayang Sect came out and asked, "Little brother, would you like to follow me back to the Huayang Sect to practice?"
Li Xiuping did not answer, but looked at the old guys who had previously been scrambling to take him in, but were now hiding behind them.
The young man couldn't help but wonder, one day in the future, will these people regret their decisions today?
"Thank you, Master Fang." Li Xiuping saluted the leader of Huayang Sect.
The old head of the Huayang Sect was stunned. He probably didn't expect that Li Xiuping actually knew his last name, but he didn't pay much attention to it and said: "Take care of yourself, let's set off now."
Li Xiuping said awkwardly: "I'm afraid it's not possible now."
The head of Huayang Sect couldn't help but frown.
Although all the forces were quite curious, they had no intention of staying any longer, fearing that something might change later. Now that someone has come out to clean up the mess, they were happy to go back and report.
Everyone left one after another, either walking with swords or flying in the clouds, pretending to look sorry before leaving.
Almost in an instant, the originally crowded small courtyard became empty in an instant, except for the old head of the Huayang Sect and his four disciples, as well as master and servant Chen Wanrong, who did not rush to leave.
As for the reason why Li Xiuping couldn't go to Huayang Sect immediately, the head of Huayang Sect didn't seem to care, and said directly: "In that case, I will leave a disciple behind. After you have taken care of everything, he will take you to the sect.
.”
As he spoke, he immediately pulled out the obese disciple, not forgetting to kick his butt. Then he held out a yellow flag and took the remaining three disciples into the air, and soon he was gone.
Traces.
Seeing his master and his fellow disciples abandoning him, the obese Huayang Sect disciple looked aggrieved. He probably knew that even the grievances could not undo his master's decision, so he squeezed out a smile and said to Li Xiuping: "My name is
Xu Bansheng, I will be your senior brother from now on."
This guy is a little depressed. He doesn't understand why the master wants to accept this guy who has no spiritual roots and doesn't make swords. Doesn't this give Huayang Sect an extra mouth to eat?
Life in the Huayang Sect is already tight, and with that stingy master, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the holidays to eat meat in the future...
Li Xiuping smiled and replied: "Hello, Senior Brother Xu."
"What a fart!" But Xu Bansheng did not say these words, and said directly: "If you have anything to deal with, just hurry up. There will be an Immortal Ascension Conference in three months. As the future hope of Huayang Sect, I will
I will definitely participate.”
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "It won't take that long, at most half a month."
Xu Bansheng glared and said: "I mean I have to go back to practice and try to achieve... foundation building before the conference."
Li Xiuping unlocked the door and said casually: "Senior Brother Xu hasn't built the foundation yet?"
Xu Bansheng was stunned, jumped up the three steps of the blacksmith shop, frowned and said: "What do you mean? Do you still think my level is low?"
Li Xiuping ignored him, but looked at Chen Wanrong's master and servant who had not left yet, and asked: "Why don't you two come in for a meeting?"
The woman looked at Chen Wanrong, who did not refuse, nodded and walked towards the blacksmith shop.
It was probably Chen Wanrong who was there, but Xu Bansheng did not continue to ask questions. He smiled and moved out of the way.
The furnishings in the shop are simple and sparse, and it can really be called a home with only four walls. The whole blacksmith shop is inside and out, except for the couplet hanging on the door.
Chen Wanrong couldn't help but ask: "I'm curious, since you don't have spiritual roots, how did you kill three foundation-building monsters at the same time?"
Li Xiuping pulled up a bamboo chair. He hadn't been home for a few days and it was already dusty, so he wiped it with his sleeve, handed it to Chen Wanrong, and replied with a smile: "This is why I don't make swords.
"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Li Xiuping. However, Li Xiuping had no intention of explaining and walked towards the casting furnace nearby.
"What do you mean?" Chen Wanrong asked.
Li Xiuping hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Everyone thinks that my master is unrivaled in making swords, but they don't know that what he has been pursuing all his life is not sword-making, but the method of raising swords, a method that can be used without spiritual roots."
The method of spiritual practice.”
Chen Wanrong immediately asked: "Has he found it?"
After speaking, she stared at Li Xiuping with eager eyes.
Li Xiuping nodded, "It's a pity that this method still has many flaws. My master hasn't perfected it yet, so..."
Speaking of this, the young man looked a little sad.
The woman who followed Chen Wanrong sighed with emotion: "The life of a mortal is indeed too short, which leads to many regrets in the world and prevents some great wisdom from being passed down completely. Even those that are passed down can only be passed down from generation to generation.
Continuous improvement... Mr. Ouye's death is a huge loss to the entire human world."
Li Xiuping suddenly brightened up and said, "That's why I can never take the same path as him!"
The three of them looked at the young man in the morning light, and could faintly see the gleaming brilliance of that young man. It was the impassioned spirit of young people, the vigorous vitality of young people, and the discovery of an ideal that one could strive for all his life. But
Isn't that the beginning of a person's regret...
Xu Bansheng asked at this time: "What does this have to do with you not making swords?"
Li Xiuping asked: "I raise a pond of fish. If the water is polluted, what will happen to the fish?"
Xu Bansheng replied: "I will die."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "Forging a sword will damage the sword spirit in my body, so before the fish grows up, I must ensure that the water will not be polluted."
Xu Bansheng seemed to understand, but Chen Wanrong already understood and nodded: "I understand. In other words, it's not that you will never forge swords, you just won't for the time being."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "You can say that."
Chen Wanrong said in confusion: "In that case, why didn't you make it clear before? Then both Jiuyuan Mountain and Xuanqing Sect would be happy to take you into their sect."
Li Xiuping just smiled and did not answer the question.
Li Xiuping did not answer, and Chen Wanrong did not ask further questions. Instead, she stood up and said, "When the day comes for you to forge a sword, I will definitely ask you to forge the first sword."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "If Miss Chen can wait that long, I will naturally be happy to help."
Chen Wanrong glanced at Xu Bansheng, and a thought came to her mind for no reason: Does this mean that stupid people have stupid blessings?
If this guy hadn't shouted those words before, the head of Huayang Sect wouldn't have pinched his nose and accepted Li Xiuping into his sect. Then, regardless of whether Li Xiuping would be accepted by other sects, he would be doomed in the future.
It has nothing to do with Huayang Sect. Now that Li Xiuping has joined Huayang Sect, once he forges swords in the future, it will be a huge wealth for the entire Huayang Sect.
Of course, no one knows when Li Xiuping will be able to forge swords. After all, no one knows when the "fish" he calls will grow up...
"Miss, how can we explain to the old man when we go back?" After leaving the blacksmith shop, the woman asked Chen Wanrong.
Chen Wanrong looked back at the blacksmith shop and said: "To tell the truth, it will be beneficial to our Chen family to have a good relationship with the Huayang Sect."
The woman nodded and thought: "There is actually a way to gain Li Xiuping's favor."
Chen Wanrong was stunned and asked: "Are you referring to the demon trouble in Qingyang County?"
The woman nodded.
Chen Wanrong shook her head and said: "This matter is not trivial. Grandpa still needs to make the decision."
The woman nodded and said no more.
After Chen Wanrong's master and servant left, the blacksmith shop returned to its previous appearance, but with the addition of Xu Bansheng.
As soon as Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanrong left, Xu Bansheng couldn't wait to ask: "Junior brother Li, will you really know how to forge swords in the future?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, it depends on when the sword intention in my body will be fully realized. It may be three to five years, it may be a hundred and eighty years, or it may be a lifetime."
"Ah?" Xu Bansheng opened his mouth wide.
I still thought that if Li Xiuping could forge swords, he could improve the Huayang Sect's food supply. I don't have any extravagant hopes for magical weapons. As long as Li Xiuping could forge spiritual weapons, the Huayang Sect would be rich.
"What's wrong with forging swords? Look at your master, who in the world doesn't know about it? Half of the top ten famous swords on the weapon list were made by your master." Xu Bansheng really couldn't understand.
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "But he is still dead."
Xu Bansheng was stunned.
Li Xiuping continued: "People like you who have spiritual roots and can practice cannot understand. No matter how poor your talent is, as long as you reach the Qi training realm, you can live for at least one or two hundred years, but ordinary people can't survive.
Hundreds of years. My master's life was not unsatisfactory, and it could even be said that his life was not in vain. But when he died, there was actually regret in his eyes."
The young man looked at Xu Bansheng with a bit of envy in his eyes, but it was only for a short moment.
He is just an ordinary monk who has not yet established a foundation. Now he can defeat two of them casually.
At this time, a woman wearing a bright red dress walked into the blacksmith shop, looked at the fat Xu Bansheng, frowned and said: "Why is it the Huayang Sect? Even if it is not Jiuyuan Mountain and Xuanqingmen, it must be the Chen family.
"
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "That's enough, at least there won't be any."
Xu Bansheng frowned and looked at the two people back and forth. What do you mean? Even if our Huayang Sect is not a famous sect, it is still an immortal cultivating sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Who is not allowed to take a high look when walking around outside?
What do you two mean by the disgusted expressions on your faces?
