Volume 1: The Sword Comes From the West Chapter 47 The Heart Has a Far Way
The appearance of Chen Wanrong made the entire Huayang Sect instantly forget the harm caused by Li Xiuping. It was really because this Miss Chen family was so famous in Yunzhou.
After Li Xiuping sent Chen Wanrong away, he did not return directly to the outer alchemy place, but went to find Xu Bansheng.
According to Li Xiuping's idea, since everything was arranged by Fang Tianhe, he should not continue to stay in the outer sect. However, Fang Tianhe and the elders did not express any opinions, so he could only continue to stay at the alchemy place.
Become a disciple of the alchemy department.
But one thing is certain, that is, among the candidates participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference this time, Li Xiuping must have a place, so the matter of foundation building is imminent.
The stronger you are, the greater the possibility of winning in the Immortal Ascension Conference, the more benefits you can obtain, and the more beneficial it will be to your future practice.
Although foundation building has become an obstacle to Li Xiuping, he wants more than just foundation building.
Li Xiuping was actually a little hesitant about Xu Bansheng's residence. After all, Xu Bansheng was also a victim of what he had done in Xuanmu Mountain, yet he shamelessly came to him for help. What kind of attitude did Xu Bansheng have? Li Xiuping really didn't dare
Sure.
Just when Li Xiuping was hesitating, Xu Bansheng walked out of the yard and said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't remember me as your senior brother after meeting Miss Chen."
Li Xiuping bowed awkwardly and said, "Senior Brother Xu was joking."
Xu Bansheng pulled Li Xiuping directly into the courtyard and said, "Tell me, do you need my help? Anyway, you will definitely not come to my place if you are fine."
Li Xiuping said directly: "I want to find some books about foundation building, but as an outer disciple, I cannot enter the library, so I want Senior Brother Xu to help me find a way."
Xu Bansheng frowned and said, "Master didn't let you enter the inner gate?"
Li Xiuping shook his head.
Xu Bansheng thought for a while and said, "That shouldn't be the case. If nothing else, as far as Chen Wanrong is concerned, Master should put you in the inner sect."
Li Xiuping shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xu Bansheng said: "Okay, you first give a general description of the books you need, and I will help you find them when the time comes. But it is almost impossible to bring them out, so I can only read them for you and try to memorize them."
Li Xiuping nodded his thanks, and then told Xu Bansheng what he needed. Xu Bansheng wrote it down in his notes. After making sure that nothing was missing, Li Xiuping returned directly to the outer alchemy place.
The entire outer sect disciples were waiting for the news of Li Xiuping's punishment. However, the news of punishment did not arrive. Instead, they received news that all Huayang Sect disciples could not accept, because among the people who participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference,
One of them is Li Xiuping.
In this way, it is clear at a glance what the attitude of the head and the elders is. It is obviously impossible to make Li Xiuping pay the price.
These disciples were not convinced, but they really did not dare to go against the will of the master and the elders. However, the more they thought about Li Xiuping, the angrier they became, and the more they looked at him, the more they disliked him.
At this moment, Li Xiuping had just returned to the alchemy place, and then left the alchemy place again, taking the harvest from Xuanmu Mountain to the outer gate square to sell it.
Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, what he has to do now is to sell these things quickly and return the spiritual stones of the two senior brothers in Jiange.
Li Xiuping is not worried that no one will buy his things. Now that the situation in Xuanmu Mountain has happened, it has become a fact that Huayang Sect disciples cannot enter Xuanmu Mountain to obtain cultivation resources. It also happens to be that the Ascension Conference is about to come, so many
The treasures of heaven and earth were put out, and there were many people rushing to get them.
Of course, if you don’t deny it, there will be some anger. In order to show your integrity, you will not ask Li Xiuping to buy spiritual treasures even if you kill him. But this is Huayang Sect, a place for cultivating immortals. In the end, is integrity or strength more important?
, many people know it very well.
Just as Li Xiuping guessed, at the beginning, those Huayang Sect disciples did sneer at him and didn't even bother to take a second look at the things he was selling. But as time went on, they began to slowly
Someone approached and bought the first thing.
As the first person came forward, everything Li Xiuping was selling was quickly sold out.
In fact, that guy Li Xiuping is really hateful. The selling price at the beginning was considered fair, but the price got lower as time went by, and the things on the ground became less and less, and the faster he bought them, the faster...
After Li Xiuping sold all his things, he returned to his residence with satisfaction, and then began to think about how to spend the money.
The spiritual stones owed to the two disciples of Jiange must be repaid, and the remaining money must be used in good ways. The most important thing for him now is to build the foundation, so the money must be spent on
On the matter of foundation building.
Xu Bansheng would definitely not be able to help him in a short period of time, and he couldn't wait like this forever, so Li Xiuping could only target other disciples of the outer sect. If that didn't work, he would target Elder Wan, and then cast
The matter of the platform and the casting furnace must also be resolved as soon as possible.
After making up his mind, Li Xiuping walked directly towards the place where the medicinal materials were stored.
Regarding the matter of the foundry platform and the foundry road, he had to talk to Elder Wan first. Only with Elder Wan's permission could he consider the follow-up matters. Maybe he could get what he needed through Elder Wan's channels.
Elder Wan's expression was as usual, and he didn't seem to care about the Xuanmu Mountain matter at all, nor did he care that Li Xiuping had entered the country and became a candidate to participate in the Ascension Conference. In the eyes of this old man, all the people and things seemed to be in front of him.
Those herbs are important.
There were already many disciples in the place where the herbal medicines were stored. When they saw Li Xiuping approaching, they were all afraid to avoid him. Li Xiuping kept a distance and whispered.
Li Xiuping walked up to Elder Wan and saluted, "I have met Elder Wan."
The old man did not raise his head. While sorting the medicinal materials on the table, he asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Xiuping said directly: "This disciple wants to build a casting furnace and a casting platform in his residence. I hope the great elder can give permission."
Elder Wan suddenly paused in his hand movements, raised his eyes to look at Li Xiuping, frowned and said, "You want to forge a sword?"
Li Xiuping smiled and shook his head and said: "That's not the case. It's just that every time I go back, I can't see these two things and I always feel empty, so..."
Elder Wan nodded, continued to work on the matter at hand with his head down, and said, "Okay, I'll have someone help you get it in two days, but you have to pay for the money you need."
Li Xiuping was a little stunned. He didn't expect Elder Wan to agree so readily.
"Do you have anything else?" Elder Wan asked while busy.
Li Xiuping came to his senses, shook his head hurriedly, thanked Elder Wan, and turned to leave.
After bidding farewell to Elder Wan, Li Xiuping checked that it was still early, then left the alchemy place again and walked towards the sword pavilion.
Nowadays, there are not many disciples in the outer sect who don't know Li Xiuping, and among them, almost all of them know Jiange, who is generally the strongest, because in the previous battle, Jiange had the most disciples who took action, and Li Xiuping was beaten the hardest.
At this moment, seeing Li Xiuping walking straight towards Jiange, the expressions of all the disciples of Jiange suddenly changed. For a moment, they didn't know whether to avoid or face him.
Fortunately, before Li Xiuping entered the sword pavilion, two people walked out of the sword pavilion. They were the two people who lent the spiritual treasure to Li Xiuping before.
When the two saw Li Xiuping, the disciple named Han took the lead and said with a smile: "We were about to go find Junior Brother Li, but we didn't expect that Junior Brother Li came here on his own."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Two senior brothers also want to fight with me?"
The two were stunned, and the disciple named Han smiled and said: "Junior brother Li can even kill the demon in the Xudan stage, how can we have the courage?"
Li Xiuping asked: "You are here to ask me for money?"
The disciple surnamed Han shook his head and said: "Junior Brother Li knows the situation in Xuanmu Mountain best now, so we plan to invite Junior Brother Li to enter Xuanmu Mountain together. As for the previous Lingbao, we are all fellow disciples, so we should treat it as a gift to Junior Brother Li.
It’s a meeting gift.”
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
The disciple named Han came closer to Li Xiuping and lowered his voice: "We found a thousand-year-old elixir in Xuanmu Mountain, but it is guarded by a powerful monster. With Junior Brother Li's strength, if we work together, we can get the elixir."
The chance of taking medicine will be much greater."
He continued: "Junior Brother Li, don't worry, after the elixir is sold, we will never treat Junior Brother Li badly."
Li Xiuping did not agree immediately, nor did he refuse directly, but fell into thinking. After a while, Li Xiuping said: "If you can come up with a recipe for foundation building, I will agree to go with you."
The two looked at each other and frowned.
Li Xiuping continued: "Let's make an agreement first. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, what I want must be given to me first."
The disciple named Han nodded and said, "No problem."
After saying that, he took out a yellowed booklet and handed it to Li Xiuping, saying: "This belongs to Master, so it cannot be given to Junior Brother Li, but there is no problem in lending it to Junior Brother Li for a period of time."
Li Xiuping took the booklet, nodded that there was no problem, and asked at the same time: "When will we leave?"
The disciple named Han said: "Let's meet outside Xuanmu Mountain early tomorrow morning."
Li Xiuping put the book away, said goodbye and left.
The disciple surnamed Han looked at Li Xiuping's back, obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Junior brother Mo, do you still feel that we gave him two spiritual treasures at the beginning?"
Another disciple saluted and said: "Senior Brother Han understands everything, but he is short-sighted."
The disciple surnamed Han sighed at this time: "It's just that Xuanmu Mountain has changed now, and the impact on Huayang Sect is probably not small. Those disciples who have not yet established the foundation will lose the precious land of Xuanmu Mountain, and the time it will take to build the foundation will only be long."
It will be longer.”
The disciple surnamed Mo nodded and said: "That's true. So if I don't understand something, I would like to ask my senior brother to clarify my doubts."
The disciple surnamed Han turned around and walked towards Jiange, saying: "You are talking about Li Xiuping who did such a thing. Why did the elders of the sect not only not punish him, but also let Li Xiuping go on behalf of Huayang Sect?"
Participate in the Ascension Conference?"
The disciple named Mo nodded.
The disciple named Han smiled and said: "Because we have an amazing leader."
The disciple named Mo was even more confused.
The disciple named Han did not intend to continue explaining, but said to the disciples of Jiange: "Come with me to Xuanmu Mountain tomorrow. Of course, if you don't dare to go, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
All the Jiange disciples looked at each other and started talking among themselves.
That night.
Li Xiuping sat alone on the futon in the room, looking at the yellowed book in his hand.
There are only four big characters in the booklet that are blurred: Yushu Sword Sutra.
Li Xiuping stretched out his hand and gently groped the cover. The wind was blowing and it was extremely cool. After this period of ventilation, the musty smell in the room no longer existed.
"call!"
Li Xiuping took a long breath and opened the book.
After looking at it for a while, Li Xiuping suddenly closed the book. The book was bright and pale, as if he had seen something that aroused fear.
"how so?"
Li Xiuping murmured to himself.
The reason why he had not opened it for confirmation before, but agreed to accept the booklet with the disciple named Han, was because it was a sword scripture and was the most relevant thing to his cultivation method, so for this little
book, Li Xiuping actually had great expectations.
But now, this expectation has completely disappeared.
According to the description in this booklet, it is necessary to use a special method to transform the spiritual roots in the body into sword bones, and then practice through a special way of practice.
Although this method is related to swords, it has no connection with his current practice, and it still requires spiritual roots.
In other words, even if this booklet is mysterious, it has nothing to do with him.
Li Xiuping closed his eyes and tried to stay calm.
He had actually expected this situation, but he had held out hope before, so he seemed particularly disappointed now.
After a while, Li Xiuping opened his eyes, then reopened the book and continued reading...
The night was as cold as water, and an old man walked forward with a stoop under the moonlight, but his figure was pulled straight by the moonlight.
The old man walked into the house, looked at the young man who was holding a yellowed book and was thinking about it, and coughed lightly.
Li Xiuping was startled and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Elder Wan."
The old man walked into the bamboo building and said, "Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts if you haven't rested so late?"
Li Xiuping couldn't help but look down at the booklet in his hand.
Elder Wan asked: "Is this the Yushu Sword Sutra from the Sword Pavilion?"
Li Xiuping nodded, then pulled a stool and handed it to the old man.
After the old man sat down, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Xiuping, and asked, "What do you think foundation building is?"
Li Xiuping was stunned and fell into thinking.
The old man asked himself and answered: "The true energy turns into essence, the soul first appears, and the spiritual sea can be seen by looking at it, laying the foundation for cultivation; with continuous practice, the spiritual sea turns into crystals, and after the ninth level, the crystals are broken and elixirs are formed..."
Li Xiuping knew all this, so he didn't quite understand why Elder Wan came here so late and told him this.
Elder Wan said with a smile: "Someone told me before that foundation building is the foundation of cultivation, but in the final analysis, the human body is the foundation of everything."
After saying this, Elder Wan stood up and walked outside, saying at the same time: "Practice is difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is even harder to walk a road that has not been traveled before. But if your heart has a distant future, it is difficult.
What’s the harm in a few.”
The young man stood in front of the bamboo house, looking at the old man's hunched back walking away under the moonlight, and felt as if his heart was turning upside down.
