Volume 1: The Sword Comes from the West Chapter 42: Worldly Matters, Life and Death
For some unknown reason, the news that Li Xiuping killed Lao Huai spread throughout the Huayang Sect overnight.
Early in the morning, countless Huayang Sect disciples crowded into the alchemy office, threatening to get rid of the scourge Li Xiuping.
However, as soon as these people entered the alchemy place, they were stopped by the elders of the alchemy place. Although these disciples were furious, it was the elders of the sect who blocked them, and these disciples did not dare to be too presumptuous.
"The Council of Elders will come up with a resolution on this matter. I also ask all the disciples to be calm. Now that the leader is not in the sect, the great elder and other elders have entered Huoyun Mountain again. How will this matter be handled? Wait until the great elder comes back.
, I will give you an explanation."
An elder stood in front of countless Huayang Sect disciples and said loudly.
After hearing this, all the Huayang Sect disciples frowned, but no one left.
The elder continued: "Whether this matter is true or not has not been confirmed yet; and even if it is true, if you rush in at this time, will you really be able to defeat Li Xiuping? Don't forget that he has
An old locust tree has a thousand years of Taoism and is comparable to the golden elixir."
Hearing this, everyone frowned even deeper, as if they were ready to retreat, but they were obviously unwilling to leave just like that.
The elder continued: "To take a step back, even if you can really fight, even if you really kill Li Xiuping, can you really change what has happened? If you don't do it, you will have to bear the guilt of killing your fellow disciples afterwards.
Li Xiuping is dead, but what can you gain besides venting your anger?"
After saying this, the elder moved out of the way and said, "If you still want to find Li Xiuping now, I won't stop you, but I still hope that you can think it over carefully and don't let yourself be temporarily distracted."
Anger went to his head."
Everyone looked at the path that the elder gave way to. No one stepped forward, but began to whisper to each other.
After a while, some people turned around and left one after another, and soon they were all gone.
Seeing these angry disciples finally leaving, several elders of the alchemy department breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, public anger cannot be quelled, and what Li Xiuping has done now is the future of the entire Huayang Sect disciples. Although they are elders, their strength is far away.
Above these disciples, if a conflict really breaks out, let alone whether it can be stopped, the Huayang Sect, which has already suffered losses, will only suffer greater losses.
The key is that Li Xiuping's identity is too special. If it were someone else, Huayang Sect would not be as hard to get off as it is now.
Now that the leader is not here, the great elder is not here, and even many elders who can make decisions are not here, the alchemy office must handle this matter carefully. Otherwise, one mistake will cause the entire Huayang Sect to suffer disaster.
Now all the pressure is on the alchemy department.
In this regard, the alchemy department has no choice but to admit that it is unlucky.
The Alchemy Department has even begun to wonder: Did the leader know that Li Xiuping was in trouble, so he left before Li Xiuping entered the Huayang Sect and left all the mess to the great elder; then the great elder took advantage of this hot hand again
He threw the potato to the alchemy office and took the opportunity to run into the secret realm of Wujue Mountain...
Now the alchemy department really has nothing to do except hope that the great elder will come out soon and the master will come back soon.
…
Xu Bansheng's pair of dark eyebrows were tightly intertwined at this moment. He never dreamed that Huayang Sect would undergo such a big change because of the arrival of Junior Brother Li.
As the head disciple of the inner sect, he knows very well what the fusion of Xuanmu Mountain and Tianshui Mountain represents, but the key point is that he is still the victim of this change.
He is only at the seventh level of Qi training and has not yet established a foundation.
But even so, Xu Bansheng was not very angry. After all, along the way, he and Li Xiuping could be said to have lived together, lived through life and death, and shared hardships. Although they were just junior brothers, they were better than full brothers. Of course, the most important point was
, it was getting along with Li Xiuping that caused Xu Bansheng's character to change a lot.
For a cultivator, resources are indeed important, but they are not the most important. Compared with resources, talent is thousands of times more important than resources.
They just lack cultivation resources now, but what Li Xiuping lacks is talent.
A person with no spiritual roots can still reach the level that Li Xiuping is now. If those who have spiritual roots feel sorry for themselves because of the lack of resources and attribute everything to Li Xiuping alone, then they will be successful in the future.
If you build a foundation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue on the road of spiritual practice.
Therefore, compared to the anger of other disciples, Xu Bansheng felt that this was a test, a test of perseverance and perseverance.
Li Xiuping has no spiritual roots, but he can practice, and he has terrifying strength comparable to that of a foundation-building monk. So even if Xu Bansheng has no resources, he can still build a foundation, and he can still make great progress on the road of cultivation.
Even if he can't surpass Li Xiuping, he can't be too far behind Li Xiuping. Otherwise, how can he dare to tell others that Li Xiuping is his junior and brother when he goes out in the future?
Li Xiuping is now working hard to build the foundation, and he is also working hard to build the foundation. What he lacks is only resources, but what Li Xiuping lacks is not just resources.
…
Elder Wan of the alchemy department is really a little confused at the moment. It would be fine if only the outer disciples came to find Li Xiuping. He, the outer elder, could still deal with it, but now even the inner disciples have come to find him. This is not the case.
Something's happened.
Those little brats in the inner sect would not give him, the elder of the outer sect, face. The little brat named Xu is the best example. If the disciples in the inner sect really want to force their way in, will he really take action?
Even if he could block Li Xiuping once or twice, what about the third, fourth, or even more times?
Now the leader's whereabouts are missing. He has no idea when he will return. The great elder has led countless elders into the secret realm of Wujue Mountain to solve the trouble caused by Li Xiuping. He doesn't know if he can come out alive. If this continues, the entire Hua Dynasty will
Yangzong must be in great trouble.
After much thought, Elder Wan felt that the person who tied the bell must untie it. Since Li Xiuping caused this mess, Li Xiuping could only solve it himself.
Isn't that kid very capable and very smart? Let him suffer a little loss and learn a lesson in the future, otherwise he won't know how much trouble he will cause Huayang Sect in the future.
Today's Huayang Sect really can't afford such trouble anymore.
…
In accordance with Elder Wan's instructions, Li Xiuping has not left his residence in the past few days, and all the disciples in the alchemy room have not been allowed to come near this place in the past few days. No matter day or night, there are two elders guarding the only road leading to Li Xiuping's residence.
With.
Li Xiuping naturally didn't know what was going on outside. The more he didn't know, the more worried he became.
The two elders took turns guarding there day and night, seemingly to protect him, but how could they not be to keep an eye on him?
Although Elder Wan didn't say anything, judging from Huayang Sect's reaction, he could guess how much trouble he had caused this time. If he didn't handle it well, his life might not be enough to offset it.
What Li Xiuping fears most now is that Huayang Sect will use his life to calm the anger of all Huayang Sect disciples.
Li Xiuping took out the spiritual seed and put it in front of his eyes to consider it carefully.
This thing is about the size of a thumb, and is brown all over, like a bead. The surface is not shiny, but it exudes a gleaming brilliance. At first glance, it is not ordinary.
Li Xiuping had no idea what effect this thing had, but he desperately hoped that it would work, and the greater the effect, the better.
The greater the effect, the more precious this thing is, and it may be worth his life.
Now Li Xiuping only cares about this.
No matter what kind of foundation building, what kind of spirit stone, or what kind of reputation, you have to save your life first.
Things in this world, except life and death, are all trivial matters.
Just when Li Xiuping was thinking about how to exchange this bead for his life, a figure came in from outside the door and enveloped him completely.
Li Xiuping looked up and saw Elder Wan, who was pale and stooped.
Seeing this old man, Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel nervous, and at the same time he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When Elder Wan appeared at this time, it was definitely not to see him, but to announce his punishment; but no matter what the reason was, it was better than waiting like this all the time without knowing anything.
Li Xiuping stood up and saluted.
Elder Wan raised his hand and pressed it, motioning for Li Xiuping to sit down.
Li Xiuping didn't show any restraint and sat down openly.
Elder Wan walked to sit opposite Li Xiuping and asked, "Did you get what you took earlier by killing that locust tree?"
Li Xiuping nodded and handed the spiritual seed in his hand to Elder Wan.
Elder Wan was obviously stunned by Li Xiuping's actions and couldn't help but ask: "You just handed it over and didn't think about anything else?"
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "I have indeed thought about it, but no matter how good this thing is, it is not as important as life."
Elder Wan asked: "So you want to trade it for your life?"
Li Xiuping said: "If it works, it's best. If it doesn't, it just means that this thing is really useless, at least for Huayang Sect."
Elder Wan asked: "How to say?"
Li Xiuping said: "If Huayang Sect really wants to use my life to calm the anger of all the disciples, it means that Huayang Sect has reached a point where it has to take risks, and then the existence of this bead will naturally be meaningless.
"
Elder Wan asked this time: "Because you are Mr. Ouye's disciple?"
Li Xiuping nodded.
Elder Wan looked at Li Xiuping and said, "You are indeed very smart. If it weren't for the fact that you were born without spiritual roots, you would definitely have a place in the world of spiritual practice a hundred years from now."
Li Xiuping also looked at Elder Wan, with a serious expression and firm eyes, and said: "Even if I don't have spiritual roots, it won't take a hundred years for everyone in the entire cultivation world to know me, Li Xiuping."
The great elder looked stunned.
He really couldn't understand, where did this young man get such confidence?
Is it because he is a disciple of Mr. Ouye? Is it because he has achieved what he is today with a body that was born unable to practice? Or is it because he is a frog in a well and has no idea how high the sky is and how thick the earth is?
Is it confidence or ignorance?
"It can be said that you are the most confident person I have ever seen in my life, Wanjuanshu. Whether you are truly confident or fake, that will all happen in the future. But if you cannot solve the current problems, there will be no future.
"
Wanjuanshu collected the spiritual seed and stood up.
