"We have almost completed the investigation, but... the problem is a bit serious."
Huang Yanzhen Shinto.
"Oh, what a serious method."
"It has something to do with City Lord Li in the battle where you showed your prowess on the southern front. In that battle, you relied on the burst of the Star-Shattering Swordsmanship to kill five true gods. This kind of achievement is unprecedented. Originally, the Star-Breaking Swordsmanship was already famous.
, there is an endless stream of people who want to study it, and buyers. After your results in this battle are known, you can learn the Broken Star Sword Technique, and the number of demigods and true gods of Shen Gang's true form that match the Broken Star Sword Technique, and the number will increase geometrically.
...Almost every force in the Daxia Empire has one person..."
True God Huang Yan paused slightly when he said this, and said with a wry smile: "In addition to our Great Xia Empire, there are many people practicing in the surrounding Aurora Empire, Morning Star Kingdom, Sifang Island Kingdom and other countries..."
True God Yan Yu on the side also followed: "I have heard of your name City Lord Li more than once on the Iron Blood Fire Front. Many true gods even came to me specifically to inquire about you. After all, you killed five great true gods at that time.
, this kind of influence is too great. You must know that even if the iron-blooded fire front has a god-king, when a full-scale war does not break out, at most one true god will fall in a year, and sometimes it will only take two or three years for one to die.
The true gods are in crisis, and you have become famous throughout the country by killing the five true gods in an extremely short period of time."
"Not just nationwide."
True God Youyi smiled and said: "I am very familiar with City Lord Li's name here in the Aote Kingdom, and there are many friends who have asked me about your name. City Lord Li's name should now be famous all over the world.
"
"So, how many people are now secretly learning my three secret arts?"
Li Qiu Xian Dao.
"Almost all the Daxia Empire originally purchased the three major methods of Star-Shattering Sword Technique, Shen Gang True Body, and Ruins of Refining Mantra. There were only 12 companies that had not purchased them. However, the other forces added up to more than 100 companies. We can confirm that they learned it secretly.
There are forty-six forces that have mastered the Star-Breaking Sword Technique, the Ruins Refining Mantra, and Shen Gang's true form. There are eighty-two families that cannot be confirmed. These forces are evenly distributed in the other six major kingdoms and the stars in the sky except Otegu.
Among them, the Aurora Empire that borders us, the Morning Star Kingdom has the largest number, followed by the Sifang Island Kingdom."
True God Huang Yan said with a little help, Li Qiuxian's star ring already indicated that he had received a piece of information.
As Li Qiuxian clicked on the information, what was recorded in it was clearly those forces who secretly learned these three methods.
"The only thing that is fortunate at the moment is that the top forces in these major countries have not secretly learned the three secret arts. On the one hand, the genuine purchase of the three major secret arts only requires two hundred star divine crystals. For those top forces with god kings at their command,
It’s not that they can’t take it out, but on the other hand, they can’t afford to lose face.”
True God Huang Yan added.
"Twelve families in Daxia, 46 families outside Daxia that can be confirmed, and 82 families that cannot be confirmed... a total of one hundred and forty families..."
Li Qiu Xian Dao.
One hundred and forty...
If every family secretly learned the Star-Shattering Sword Technique, Ruins Refining Mantra, and Shen Gang True Body...
That’s a total of 28,000 Star God Crystals!
What an astonishing sum of money!?
"City Master Li really wants them to make up for the stolen Star God Crystal? Among these people, our Great Xia Empire has better power. With your record and reputation of killing the five true gods on the southern front, if you come to ask for it,
, they were unwilling to accept the fact that the evidence was conclusive and had no choice but to make up for the two hundred star crystals they owed, but the same cannot be said for the forces outside our Great Xia, especially since this matter also involves the stars in the sky..."
"Why don't you let them replenish it? Twenty-eight thousand star divine crystals are equivalent to the total value of more than a dozen artifacts. If you take them all back, it will be enough for me to reach the level of God King."
Li Qiuxian said matter-of-factly.
"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. Although we, Daxia, and other countries have to unite under the oppression of the Austin Empire, this union is not close. As the true god of Daxia, you rashly broke into their borders to do something.
If anything goes too far, it may easily cause internal disputes. Moreover, the stars in the sky account for 40% of those forces. If you want to collect the debt, you have to enter the stars in the sky, and among the stars in the sky... Emperor Tiangao
Far...if those true gods have evil intentions..."
True God Huang Yan did not continue, but he believed that Li Qiuxian understood what he meant.
"Haha... City Lord Huang Yan, don't worry. Since I dare to come to collect the debt, I'm not afraid of them. If they do, I have to be prepared for heavy bleeding."
Li Qiuxian said calmly.
"That's not the problem. If there are too many conflicts, it may affect the cooperation of the stars and the eight countries against the Austin Empire."
True God Huang Yan said and thought for a moment: "City Lord Li, do you think this is the case, we will charge compensation fees from those forces with evidence? And the fees... shouldn't be too high, even a hundred star divine crystals? I think in
In the face of conclusive evidence and under the intimidation of Li Zhenshen, the most powerful true god, these forces should complete the one hundred star divine crystals. In this way, City Lord Li, you can still obtain more than five thousand star divine crystals.
"
"My own practice, what's wrong with me protecting my own rights now?"
Li Qiu
I can forget about Xuanbing Castle's compensation for the three major techniques, otherwise... when I come to ask for the bill in person, not only will they have to give me the technique fee of two hundred star divine crystals, but they will also have to compensate me for the labor fee of one hundred star divine crystals.
"
"this……"
"Okay, that's it. I'll ask True God Huang Yan to spread the news for me. During this year, I will stay in Xuanbing Castle to refine the Soul Ship, and at the same time wait for the response from Longtu Pavilion."
True God Huang Yan saw Li Qiuxian's resolute look, and considering that Li Qiuxian's powerful combat power was not inferior to that of the strongest true god, he finally nodded.
"City Lord Li, you are also one of our Xuanbing Castle City Lords now, have you ever thought about recruiting a few disciples from the true disciples?"
Seeing that Li Qiuxian and True God Huang Yan were talking properly, True God Yan Yu asked with a smile.
"disciple?"
Li Qiuxian suddenly thought about it after hearing this: "Okay, take it! I'll do the math and decide on a preliminary quota of twenty disciples."
"Twenty?"
True God Yan Yu was slightly startled.
Normally, true gods would only accept three or five disciples, and then they would gradually recruit more. However, there were still a few people like Li Qiuxian who accepted twenty disciples at once. After all, teaching disciples requires a lot of energy.
However, she was naturally happy that Li Qiuxian was willing to accept a disciple: "Well, Fancheng, you are in Xuanbing Castle now, right? You will cooperate with City Master Li to select a disciple that satisfies him."
"Leave it to me."
The True God of Fancheng nodded and said to Li Qiuxian: "I will send you the information of those true disciples. You choose. If you like them, I will directly ask them to visit your mountain peak."
"Just call over the top twenty true disciples. Of course, if there are disciples you are observing, then push back."
"This...don't you see if the character, talent, and talismans of these disciples are in line with your cultivation method?"
The True God of Fancheng was speechless.
"I will teach these twenty disciples. There will be a testing period of several decades. Who can become my direct disciple and accept my mantle depends on their own future destiny."
When the True God of Fancheng heard that Li Qiuxian had accepted a registered disciple first, the trial period of several decades was not short, but it could not be called long. Some True Gods would even secretly observe them for hundreds of years. Now he understood something.
Nodding: "That's indeed what it should be."
After suspending the meeting, Li Qiuxian left the training room and summoned Xie Dongfang and Luo Jin.
"I will send twenty true disciples from Xuanbing Castle in a moment. Since my time is limited, you can watch and teach them first."
"us?"
Xie Dongfang was startled: "Most of the true disciples of Xuanbing Castle are at the minor heaven level or above, and there are also a few great heaven level disciples. We don't even reach the minor heaven level, so why..."
"You are my first disciple after all, and you can be regarded as their senior brother. Why not teach them? Besides, I will assign cultivation tasks to them. You can just supervise them. While supervising, you can also observe these twenty
People, select some people with better character and tell me, and I will focus on training them when the time comes."
After Li Qiu
Star effectiveness is the best."
Upon hearing this, Xie Dongfang immediately understood what his master meant...
Master wants him to brainwash these true disciples so that they can be kidnapped in the end.
but……
Is this really good?
Soon, the top twenty people in the true disciple rankings had arrived at the mountain peak where Li Qiuxian lived.
However, since most of the top ten true disciples have been favored by the four true gods and are in the inspection period, only four of the twenty can actually be included in the top ten of the true disciples list. Among the twenty, the lowest ranked
All of them have reached thirty-two.
Seeing Li Qiuxian, these twenty true disciples seemed very excited. After all, in terms of fame in Xuanbing Castle in the past few years, no one can compare with Li Qiuxian, not even the city lord Yan Yuzhen.
"See Lord Li."
"I would like to accept you as my registered disciples and examine them for a period of time, if you are willing."
Li Qiu Xian Dao.
"Yes, yes, we are willing."
Twenty true disciples responded at the same time.
"It is our greatest honor to become Lord Li's disciples."
"Disciples must do their best to follow Master's instructions and not let Master down."
"very good."
Li Qiuxian nodded.
He is a responsible person, and since he has decided to let these people be his registered disciples, it will certainly give them some benefits.
"Here is a technique for refining the gods, called the Nine Questions of Heaven and Man. These are the first three questions. You can use them to practice. I will verify your practice progress after a while."
"Thank you Master for giving me the Dharma."
The twenty true disciples bowed respectfully and thanked him.
Li Qiuxian nodded, and just as he was about to say something, the star ring lit up.
As he connected the star ring, Wu Qingqing's figure soon appeared inside: "Sir, something is not right in the Azure Empire recently. I hope you can go back and take a look when you have time."
