Chapter 102: First involvement in the shadows of the spiritual world
"My benefactor!"
"Brother Xu, just tell me it's safe and sit down."
Li Ping'an said hello, invited Xu Xuntian to take a seat at the square table in the room, and poured Xu Xuntian a cup of tea.
Li Ping'an asked: "How's the incense going?"
"It has improved a lot," Xu Xuntian sighed with a smile. "I can already talk to my wife. Although I can only speak a few words every day, Qiu'er's spirit body has just begun to condense. I know that such a secret method is extremely precious. My family
It’s all owed…”
"Eh!" Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Not to mention these, senior Xu Sheng is an old friend of my Wanyun Sect's founder, and he also takes great care of me."
He went straight to the point: "I invited Brother Xu to come over this time because I have something to ask for."
Xu Xuntian said: "I have received a message from my father a few days ago, saying that the Guanhai Sect is always in trouble with the Wanyun Sect. Junior Sister Xiao Yue was seriously injured and was attacked by assassins hired by the Guanhai Sect."
"They are here to kill people. Wan Yun Sect can no longer tolerate this matter."
Li Ping'an's eyes flashed a bit coldly:
"As a member of the Wan Yun Sect, I cannot possibly see the sect being humiliated.
"What's more, Xiao Yue and my father share the same love. As a human son, how can I not take revenge?"
Xu Xuntian nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Ping An, just say a word and I will go to that mountain of swords and sea of fire!"
"Brother Xu is serious," Li Ping'an smiled, "This is the dispute between our Wan Yun Sect and Guanhai Sect, and has nothing to do with Brother Xu directly. I came to Brother Xu today not to let Brother Xu get involved.
This matter is to avoid dragging down Wei Yuanzong."
"Safety!"
Xu Xuntian frowned and pursed his lips slightly:
"I won't be polite to you, and you don't want to chat with me. I am willing to help you with my life, so why do you say this?"
"This is not a courtesy," Li Ping'an said sternly, "The reason why I am looking for Brother Xu is that I can trust him, and secondly, it is to avenge me personally and has nothing to do with the sect."
"oh?"
Xu Xuntian asked: "What do you want to do?"
Li Ping'an brushed his palm across the table, and immediately there was a pile of storage magic weapons.
He said: "I have no intention of offending Brother Xu. I just think that Brother Xu has been out there for thousands of years and is a master of weapon refining. He should have come into contact with all kinds of people in the cultivation world."
Xu Xuntian couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! You asked me to do such a small thing! Why do you have to be so solemn?"
"Brother Xu, don't laugh," Li Ping'an said calmly, "This is my first time doing this kind of thing, so I am somewhat unskilled."
"However," Xu Xuntian pondered for a few times, "I have been anonymous among the common people before, and with your help last time, I have resolved the misunderstanding with my father and Wei Yuanzong... Some of my brothers have indeed been looking for me.
, I am also worried about how to say goodbye to them."
Li Ping'an said seriously: "I have to ask, are there any monsters among Brother Xu's brothers?"
"Yes, but not many, and they are not man-eating monsters. I have considered this."
Xu Xuntian looked directly at Li Ping'an and whispered:
"There is light and darkness in the East Continent. The East Continent in the dark is where evil cultivators gather. Although there are many cruel and murderous people, there are also people who are righteous and mean to the sky.
"What you are looking for this time is the Blood Demon Palace.
"I have some interactions with several masters of the Blood Demon Palace. They once asked me to refine spiritual treasures. The eighteen Blood Demons in the Blood Demon Palace are all strangers to each other. Each Blood Demon leads a team of masters to attack Elder Xiao this time.
Yes, I don’t know which one of the eighteen blood evil spirits it is.”
Li Ping'an:......
You really asked the right person!
Sure enough, his previous guess was good.
Xu Xuntian had been wandering among the "black and white paths" in Dongzhou for thousands of years, and his skill in weapon refining was on par with that of his predecessor Xu Sheng. He would be a favorite wherever he went.
Li Ping'an leaned forward and whispered: "Brother Xu, do you know about the people outside the Blood Demon Palace who collect wealth and kill people?"
"Well," Xu Xuntian sighed softly, "Ping An, just leave it to me if you have any orders. My hands are dirty, but you yourself must not get up to deal with these evil cultivators.
Your temperament is too upright and you are not suitable for interacting with them."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I know it well."
Xu Xuntian pondered for a few times, but finally did not hide anything: "Actually, when I was walking on the devil's path, I also had a name... Mo Wentian."
After saying this, he looked at Li Ping'an quietly.
A great 'you know my secret' look.
Li Ping'an was also murmuring in his heart.
What should he do?
He glared and took in the cold air and said, ‘Are you Mo Wentian’?
He is really not familiar with things in the devil's way.
Xu Xuntian looked at Li Ping'an's clear and questioning eyes, couldn't help but blush, and said in a low voice: "What kind of rankings do people in the magic way like to do? I am actually the second-ranked weapon refiner in the magic way in the past few hundred years, and I am also the second-ranked weapon refiner in the magic way.
Because of this relationship, I got acquainted with Mo Yunshen from Forging Heaven Clan."
Li Ping'an frowned and said, "Are these sects all related to the devil?"
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Xuntian sighed:
"The devil's path is actually just a general term. Many masters of the devil's path take off their masks and they are the elders of large sects. When they put on their masks, they are the people of the devil's path who act unscrupulously.
"Dongzhou is not as peaceful as it looks.
"Many large sects have unclean subordinates, and some elder sects are also needed to walk between light and darkness and do things that cannot be brought to light.
"The reason why Wan Yun Sect is isolated from this matter today is actually due to the civil strife that happened ten thousand years ago. That civil strife in Wan Yun Sect was essentially caused by a few elders with evil intentions. Those elders were later killed by Senior Kong Ming.
Half of it was cut off and half of it was exiled.
"Your sect leader and some older elders definitely know these things, but how could they say this in front of the disciples?
"Your father has great luck, and your father and son's cultivation has gone smoothly, but many people have not.
"When they are stuck in a bottleneck, they will use any means to find a way to break through the bottleneck. It is normal to kill people and seize treasures. As long as they are not recognized, they will be fine.
"In Dongzhou, the lives of casual cultivators are the thinnest, not as good as the mortals of the various immortal dynasties in the middle part of Dongzhou."
Li Pingan sighed.
Okay, Master Nephew Yunmo is really hiding deep enough!
It is indeed as Xu Xuntian said, because of a series of encounters, his father's great luck, the influence of Zhuyuntang, and the preaching of Teacher Yun Zhongzi, Li Ping'an was held in the palm of his sect.
The people he comes into contact with on a daily basis are all ‘good people’.
Of course, what's more important is that the civil strife in Wanyun Sect thousands of years ago swept away a group of people with evil intentions.
Now, the most unbearable person in Wanyun Sect is Deputy Head Mo Yi, and this Deputy Head is just petty-minded and loves power. He is barely a thousand-year-old green tea, and he has no murderous sins.
In other words, the current Wanyun Sect has actually had its fangs pulled out.
"Thank you, Brother Xu, for telling me this."
Li Pingan raised his hand to cover the pendant on his chest and said to his master:
"Master, what he said is a bit biased. Most of the immortals in our Wan Yun Sect are good."
Qingsu said "hmm", seeming a little unhappy.
Li Ping'an added: "Brother Xu hasn't told me yet which sects there are like the Blood Demon Palace."
"The Blood Demon Temple is the ninth ranked demon cultivator.
"It's not appropriate to use the word "sect". Most demon cultivators do not have fixed gates, and their members are diverse. Each has its own skills, and there is no obvious master-disciple inheritance. Let's call them demon cultivators."
Xu Xuntian said in a deep voice:
"In the ranking of demon cultivators, the first one is the [Ten Thousand Demons Heaven].
"The Demon Lord of Wan Mo Tian is said to be close to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his identity is mysterious. Wan Mo Tian attacked and killed a large sect 40,000 years ago, destroyed all its members and became famous in the devil's way.
"Subsequently, ASEAN sent out immortal soldiers and wiped out many masters from the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven. The identities of these Qi refiners were not announced to the public.
"Later, as the masters of the demon race joined the major demon cultivators, the Ten Thousand Demon Heavens grew again. They acted domineeringly and had eccentric temperaments. Their shadows can be found in both East and West continents.
"The second ranked demon cultivator is [Bihai Pavilion].
"The master of the Bihai Pavilion is very mysterious and rarely shows up. This Bihai Pavilion rarely does anything to kill evil people. They stay on some fairy islands in the East China Sea and usually do business in buying and selling information.
"As far as I know, Bihai Pavilion has attracted a large number of casual cultivators, and many major sects have contacts with them, such as the Forging Heaven Sect.
"Mo Yunshen from Forging Heaven Clan met me through this Bihai Pavilion.
"The third one is [Chaotian Que]. This demonic cultivator is said to be established by a certain sect that is one of the top two in Dongzhou. They don't do many evil things, but they are very powerful. They are famous for killing demonic cultivators.
"The reason why they are demons is because they claim to be demons. Whether it is their methods of doing things, their nature, or the skills of the members in Chaotian Palace, they are all the ways of the great sects of immortality.
"Some people once said that Chaotian Tower is used by ASEAN experts to monitor and restrain demon cultivators, but there is no evidence for this."
Xu Xuntian cleared his throat and whispered: "The fourth ranked demon cultivator is the [Happy Valley] where I have been seeking refuge for thousands of years and which I have a close relationship with."
Li Pingan blinked.
He has heard of this name.
Isn't this the one Gu Qingcheng mentioned several times...the famous Golden Grotto for pleasure seeking in Dongzhou?
Xu Xuntian smiled awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, Ping An, I have never been sorry to my wife! This Happy Valley is not only home to six thousand brothels, they also sell all kinds of rare and rare treasures. I started looking for them to find treasures.
Later, when they saw that I was good at refining weapons, they took the initiative to win me over. Huangu is actually very strong, and there are many ruthless women in it. Their main job is to sell information to Bihai Pavilion, so Huangu
In fact, we have a very good relationship with Bihai Pavilion."
Li Ping'an:......
Six, six thousand brothels serving qigong practitioners!
Good guy, this is how many helpless male nuns are trapped in a sea of misery, and how many spiritual stones they can earn every year!
Xu Xuntian continued to talk and talked about all the top ten demon cultivators.
Li Ping'an keenly discovered that the top six demon cultivators were actually just like the major sects in Dongzhou who were all stained with "white".
Probably, there is no distinction between pure and turbid in this world, but there is more turbidity and less turbidity.
"Thank you, Brother Xu. I have learned a lot today."
Xu Xuntian smiled and said: "Ping'an, you are a disciple of the sect. You have not been practicing Taoism for a long time. It is normal that you have not been exposed to these things. If you practice for three hundred years and become a true immortal or above, you will naturally be exposed to these things."
Qingsu sighed against Li Ping'an's chest.
Li Ping'an felt bad, and his master was afraid that he would be severely shocked at this moment.
——The elders of Caiyun Peak have never mentioned this to Qingsu.
Get down to business first.
"Brother Xu thinks," Li Ping'an said, "how should I deal with this Blood Demon Palace?"
"There are many demons in the Blood Demon Palace," Xu Xuntian said. "When I came here, I happened to hear that ASEAN had issued an order to exterminate them."
Li Ping'an nodded: "I was the one who facilitated this. My original intention was to put pressure on Guanhaimen and Blood Evil Palace."
Xu Xuntian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I know Ping'an that you have a profound background, but I never thought that you could even affect ASEAN."
Li Ping'an took out Old Man Tianli's token and briefly told Xu Xuntian about how to eliminate demons in the southeast of Xizhou, but omitted the part about human sacrifices.
Xu Xuntian has been serving the incense temple in Dongzhou for the past few years. It is unknown that Li Ping'an has obtained the official title of ASEAN third-grade inspection envoy.
Xu Xuntian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Ping'an, you should be more careful. The Blood Demon Palace is a poisonous snake. It's okay if you don't provoke them. If you provoke them and you can't kill them in one go, they will bite you."
"My Wan Yun Sect has so many shops, and I really can't bear the consequences of being noticed by the Blood Demon Palace."
Li Ping'an sighed, stood up, and walked around with his hands behind his hands.
The situation was more complicated than he had thought before.
He said: "As for the devil's affairs, let's try to resolve them with the devil. Is there any enemy in the Blood Demon Palace? Why don't we offer a reward?"
"There are enemies everywhere in the Blood Fiend Palace. The strategy of offering a reward is a good one, but it is very expensive."
Xu Xuntian said seriously:
"If it's safe and you're not in a hurry, I'll go for a tour of the East China Sea and return in about three days. I have many sisters over there in Happy Valley, ahem, brothers and sisters. They are all trustworthy."
"Brother Xu, I have a treat!"
"Just ask!"
"It would be unreasonable for you and me to fight against the Blood Demon Palace. We need to take advantage of the situation."
Li Pingan said seriously:
"Take all these treasures and use them for this purpose. Don't be in a hurry to directly offer rewards to the Blood Demon Palace. You can only inquire about the whereabouts of the demon cultivators in the Blood Demon Palace.
"It would be great if we could find evidence that Guanhai Sect colludes with Blood Evil Palace.
"It doesn't matter if you can't find any evidence. Please try your best to find out who among the Eighteen Blood Fiends attacked my Wan Yun Sect members this time and their specific whereabouts.
"If you can't find out this, there is no need to do more. You and I will discuss in three days whether to put a reward in the Demon Dao to arrest the Blood Demon Palace."
"Goodness! Just small things!"
Xu Xuntian stood up and handed over his hands, but refused to take the stored magic weapons on the table.
Li Ping'an tried to persuade him for a while, but in the end he could only say: "If our Wan Yun Sect wants to return to the top ten sects, we must deal with the demon cultivators. Some things can only be done by them. These treasures and power should be our friends."
use!"
Only then did Xu Xuntian accept those stored magic weapons.
He took a closer look and clicked on the total amount of treasures in these stored magic weapons, and his eyes were a bit shocked.
"Where did you get so much treasure, Ping An?"
"It's just a gift from Xizhou Heaven and Earth."
…
After setting up a contact code with Xu Xuntian, Li Ping'an and Qing Su returned to the sect.
Inside the cave.
Qing Su's beautiful face looked a little depressed. Just when she was about to say something to Li Ping'an, she saw Mu Ningning coming again.
Qing Su said: "I'm going to practice."
Li Ping'an said gently: "Master, don't think too much about today's matter."
Qing Su nodded and sighed: "Apprentice, I believe in you, but I just feel that no one has told me this before. Maybe they can't trust me."
"Master," Li Ping'an said, "I want to visit Elder Xiao Yue. Do you want to go with me?"
Qing Su said: "I'm going to calm down my mind, you can just go."
After saying this, the plain clothes and skirts fluttered gently and returned to the inner cave.
Mu Ningning asked cautiously: "What's wrong, uncle?"
"It's okay, I got a little irritated when I went out."
Li Ping'an looked at her cute face and did not want her to be exposed to the dark side of the Qi Refining World, so he said warmly:
"Let's go, remember to talk to Elder Xiao Yue more later."
"Well," Mu Ningning lowered her head and moved forward, taking the initiative to hold Li Ping'an's arm.
Although this was just an arm-holding gesture, and she had rehearsed it with Wen Ling'er many times in advance, she still felt a little nervous when she actually made the move.
The soft fragrance was by his side, but Li Ping'an had no intention of feeling it.
He kept thinking about how to make full use of the demonic cultivators to deal with the demonic cultivators, and went to Zhuyuntang with Mu Ningning.
When leaving the cave formation, Mu Ningning let go of his arm and stood aside obediently.
After going to Zhuyuntang, Li Ping'an did not tell his father about the demon cultivators. When his father asked about the follow-up arrangements, Li Ping'an just said that everything was fine.
Xiao Yue was able to stand up and sit up, her sunken shoulders became round and full again, and there were no scars left.
After all, this is the body of a true immortal.
Three days later, Li Ping'an called his master and together they rushed to the place agreed with Xu Xuntian to wait.
This time, Xu Xuntian not only did not disappoint Li Ping'an, he even brought a little surprise.
