Jing Li and the other two were sitting on the stone steps to rest when they suddenly saw a few people from the inner city walking towards them.

After seeing the appearance of those people clearly, Jing Li and Sha Chu both stood up and stared at the leader.

The leader was Li Changyin, followed by Bai Wanli and several other members of the Li family. One of them was Li Changmian, a light-based trialist who participated in the competition this year. He was Li Changyin's brother.

"You are here indeed." Li Changyin glanced at them and did not take them seriously.

Even Jing Li, who had already condensed his light veins, was nothing in Li Changyin's eyes.

Before Jing Li and the others could speak, Li Changyin saw Li Xiu walking out of the city gate tower and standing on the city wall looking at him.

"Where is Elder Dao?" Li Changyin frowned slightly.

He thought Elder Dao should have already dealt with Li Xiu, but now it seems that Li Xiu is still fine, so he knows that something may be wrong.

"Master Li." Lao Dao's voice came from inside the city gate tower.

"Elder Dao, why is Li Xiu still alive?" Li Changmian next to him asked coldly towards the city gate tower.

Elder Dao's laughter came from inside: "Li Xiu is my friend, of course he will live."

"Okay, since Elder Dao is a man of loyalty and righteousness, I won't bother you any more. We can handle our own issues ourselves." Li Changmian said as he was about to walk towards Li Xiu.

when!

The magic knife flew out from the city gate tower and stabbed into the city wall, blocking Li Changmian's way. The strong light waves made Li Changmian unable to control his body, and he took several steps back before he could stabilize himself.

"Elder Dao, what do you mean?" Li Changmian asked coldly.

"Master Li, please go back." Lao Dao ignored Li Changmian and just said it lightly.

Li Changmian was furious and was about to say something when he was stopped by Li Changyin.

"Elder Dao, have a pleasant journey." Li Changyin took a deep look at the city gate tower, then turned around and left with everyone.

"Brother, why did you let Li Xiu go? Even if Elder Dao is protecting him, so what? Elder Dao's blood seal stone is in your hands. Are you still afraid that he will cause trouble?" After leaving the city wall, Li Changmian asked puzzledly.

"Elder Dao is about to die." Li Changyin said lightly.

"Is he going to die?" Everyone was shocked.

"He used people to support the sword, and when the magic sword was perfected, his life was gone." Li Changyin said.

"Wouldn't that be more convenient? We could even save on the Blood Seal Stone." Li Changmian was even more puzzled.

"He is different from us. When we die, the symbiotic contract will also die. Even though Elder Dao is dead, his sword will remain there. The sword will inherit his will. If you want to kill Li Xiu, you must first think about whether you can block that magic sword." Li Changyin said.

"There is such a thing?" Li Changmian couldn't believe it.

Li Changyin sighed and said, "This generation of sword demons will probably be gone from now on. From now on, the magic sword will guard the Heavenly Gate. Unless there is a rebellious demon spirit that breaks through, this gate will be completely sealed. This is a good thing for our Changshengtian. I just didn't expect that Li Xiu would have such a relationship with Elder Dao. No wonder he escaped into the Heavenly Gate. We can't kill him here."

"This Li Xiu is really a bit weird. He just entered Changshengtian not long ago, but he has already become sworn brothers with the Eighth Master and Wan Chaochun. Now he has such a close relationship with Elder Dao. This is weird." Li Changmian said depressedly.

"It doesn't matter. He will leave Tianmen sooner or later. It won't be too late to kill him then. Let's go back. We need to report Elder Dao's matter to the president. I guess the president already knew this would be the result, so he let Elder Dao guard Tianmen." Li Changyin said lightly.

Several people left Tianmen and returned along the same route.

After Li Changyin left, Li Xiu walked back into the Jade Tower and saw Lao Dao sitting on the ground. His hand holding the pipe had dropped down. He was breathing out more than breathing in. He could not even open his eyes and looked like he was about to die.

Li Xiu walked up to Lao Dao, looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly summoned two forbidden guns and fired two shots at Lao Dao.

One bullet hit Lao Dao's heart, and one bullet hit Lao Dao's abdomen.

After putting away the gun, Li Xiu stretched out a finger and touched Lao Dao's forehead. A transparent light, like a flame, penetrated into Lao Dao's forehead.

Lao Dao used people to feed his sword, and he himself failed to condense the light veins, but the magic sword had already broken through the light base.

Qi is strong but weak, plus he has old injuries in his body and cannot withstand the energy brought by the magic sword, so his health will get worse and worse.

If the president of Changshengtian had not used something to temporarily seal the old wounds on Lao Dao's body, I'm afraid Lao Dao would have been unable to control the magic sword long ago, just like the last time at the Golden Gate, when Lao Dao used the magic sword to super spirit, but was injured by the power of the magic sword instead.

In the final analysis, this is all because Lao Dao himself is too weak. Even if there had not been this battle with the evil ghost, it was only a matter of time before the Demonic Sword would take over.

Li Xiu wanted to use the light planting method to light a lamp inside Lao Dao's body to build a foundation, allowing him to condense the light veins. As long as the light veins were formed, his own ability to withstand light energy would increase, and the hidden danger of the magic knife would naturally be solved.

However, Li Xiu was not completely sure whether it would succeed or not, so he had to try it first to know.

Lao Dao's body was too weak now. He already had old injuries and was almost drained of energy by the magic sword. Li Xiu first used two immortal bullets to heal Lao Dao's injuries and stabilize his body before he dared to light the lamp for him. Whether Lao Dao could survive until the lamp was lit successfully depended on his life.

Strands of ultimate light penetrated into Lao Dao's body and flowed towards the intersection of the light veins in his body, finally converging at one point and gradually lighting up that knot-like point.

Lao Dao, who was almost at the end of his strength, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xiu in disbelief.

"Old Knife, you have to walk your own path. No one can replace you." Li Xiu injected his ultimate light into Old Knife's body and said, "Since you know that the knife is lonely, then continue to accompany it. There is only one magic knife in the world, and there is only one Old Knife. No one can replace you, and no one else can get the recognition of the knife, because no one can treat it like you do."

Lao Dao looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression and opened his mouth to say something, but Li Xiu continued: "Whether you want to live or die is up to you. If you want to live, then try again. I will help you light the lamp and build the foundation, so that you can continue to move forward with the magic knife..."

Lao Dao nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and silently practiced the Ningguang method that he had not used for a long time.

Lao Dao also modified the Ningguang method himself, but the Ningguang method he modified was not for his own use, but for the magic knife. This Ningguang method is different from the one used by humans.

"Your Ningguang method doesn't work. Listen to me and do as I say." Li Xiu slowly recited the Bu Yu Strange Power and Chaos Technique, explaining as he spoke.

Lao Dao began to condense light energy according to Zi Bu Yu's method of Guai Li Luan Shen Jue. The light seed that Li Xiu tried so hard to ignite gradually took on a different glow.

But Lao Dao was too weak, and the light energy in his body was pitifully small. No matter how hard the two tried, the light seed could never take shape.

Li Xiu was sweating all over, and the ultimate light in his body was almost drained. He had drawn out the light energy of the Forbidden Spear and the Evil Spirit Card, but he still couldn't ignite the light seed. As long as Li Xiu's ultimate light stopped, the light seed would immediately go out, and Lao Dao would definitely die.

Just when Li Xiu thought that something bad was going to happen this time, he suddenly heard the sound of a knife. The magic knife that was inserted into the city wall actually flew back by itself and stabbed straight into Lao Dao's chest.

boom!

The terrifying demonic light surged, making the light in Lao Dao's body shine brighter, like a burning fireball.

Li Xiu was greatly surprised. The magic knife had become independent and was no longer controlled by the old knife. Once the old knife died, it was completely free. He did not expect that it would use its magic light to help the old knife.

"Slow down... don't be too intense... Old Dao's body can't withstand such violent light energy..." Li Xiu shouted at the Demonic Knife, not knowing whether the Demonic Knife could understand him.

The magic knife actually understood Li Xiu's words, and the magic light that emerged from it became much weaker. Combined with Li Xiu's ultimate light, it burned the light seed little by little, making it crystal clear, like a black diamond.

Li Xiu let out a long sigh, removed his fingers from Lao Dao's forehead, and sat on the ground as if exhausted, gasping for breath and looking at Lao Dao.

Lao Dao's complexion gradually improved. Although he was still skin and bones, his skin gradually became shiny.

"Success." Li Xiu found that the light energy in Lao Dao's body was getting stronger and stronger, and it actually began to directly condense light veins.

The light energy that condensed his light veins naturally came from that magic sword.

Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Look at the other person's contract, he still knows how to repay his master, you rubbish, you only know how to suck my blood, you are all prodigal sons and parasites."

No one knew how long it had passed, but the magic light on Lao Dao's body was so bright that it almost became material. Judging from the strength of the light energy on his body, it was probably much greater than the light veins condensed by Jing Li.

"What a pity." Lao Dao opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiu and sighed.

"What's going on?" Li Xiu was a little confused. He didn't know what Lao Dao meant and thought something went wrong.

"I originally wanted you to inherit my magic sword, but now I can live for a few more decades, so I have to keep this old friend for myself." Lao Dao said with a smile.

"You should keep that broken thing for yourself." Li Xiu also laughed.

The magic knife immediately flew up, and the tip of the knife was pointed at Li Xiu and trembled continuously, as if it would pierce Li Xiu's chest at any time. It was obvious that it was very dissatisfied with Li Xiu calling it a piece of broken stuff.

Lao Dao grabbed the handle and took the magic knife back.

"I've saved my life, and my old injuries are almost healed." Lao Dao patted Li Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Next time Li Changyin comes to trouble you, don't come to me. I still want to keep this life and live a good life."

Li Xiu couldn't help but give him a middle finger, but he wasn't really angry.

He understood what Lao Dao meant. Before, Lao Dao was not afraid of Li Changyin threatening him with the Blood Seal Stone because he was about to die and there was no need to be afraid.

But it’s different now. If Li Changyin uses the Blood Seal Stone to threaten him again, Lao Dao will be in a dilemma.

So if it's not absolutely necessary, it's best not to let that happen.

"Li Changyin must be thinking that you are dying now, but there is still a chance to get the Blood Seal Stone back." Li Xiu pondered.

"That depends on your means. It's not convenient for me to come forward." Lao Dao said.

"I'll think of a solution after I get out, but before that, I have to raise my level first. C level is too low, I need to be at least super spiritual." Li Xiu suddenly remembered something, looked at Lao Dao and asked, "How many light veins have you condensed?"

"All twenty-eight light veins have been condensed." Lao Dao answered proudly.

"The light energy of the magic sword is so strong?" Li Xiu was shocked.

"For an old friend like me, this is nothing. Do you regret not being able to inherit my business?" Lao Dao said with a laugh.

"My own strength is still more reliable. Is there any place in Tianmen where I can be promoted to a higher level?" Li Xiu asked.

"Yes, there are, but if you want to increase your level, it's better to go to the trial field to participate in the trial." Lao Dao pondered.

"Do you think I can go out now?" Li Xiu shrugged helplessly.

"Given Li Changyin's personality, he must have prepared a trap outside the Heavenly Gate. If you go out, you will surely die." Lao Dao thought for a while and said, "Since you can't get out, you can only think of a way here. There is a place that can help you level up."

"Where?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"I call that place a pig farm." Lao Dao said with a smile.

After Li Xiu came out, he took Sha Chu and the other two away.

"Where are we going?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked Li Xiu.

"Find a place to upgrade my level." Li Xiu said casually.

"What level do I want to upgrade? I can advance to the light base anytime I want. What I lack now is something that can increase the upper limit of my super spirit... Otherwise, help me condense my meridians first..." Jiu Xiaoyun said depressedly.

"I will help you condense your meridians when I reach S-level." Li Xiu said casually.

"You help me condense my meridians? Didn't Jing Li help me condense my meridians? You are not even a light base, how can you light a lamp for me?" Jiu Xiaoyun was full of confusion.

"Who do you think helped Jing Li light the lamp?" Li Xiu said.

Jiu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he looked at Jing Li in disbelief and asked, "Old Jing, was it he who helped you light the lamp?"

"Yes, it was the chief who lit the lamp for me." Jing Li nodded.

Jiu Xiaoyun looked even weirder, still looking at Li Xiu in disbelief and asked, "Doesn't your Light Planting Method say that only the Light Base can help people light lamps?"

"Do you also know that I was the one who invented the light-seeding method?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Jiu Xiaoyun was speechless for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Chief, how do you want to be promoted? Do you need my help?"

"There's no need for your help. If you encounter an evil spirit, just don't think about running away." Li Xiu said casually.

After a while, the four people came to a collapsed palace. There was a big hole in the ruins of the palace.

The cave was dark and bottomless, and no one knew where it led to.

"What is this place?" Jiu Xiaoyun had never heard of such a place.

"Lao Dao said this is a pig farm." Li Xiu said as he observed the cave.

"Pig farm?" The three of them were stunned.

"Yes, it's a pig farm. Every once in a while, gems that can improve the quality of the embryos will appear in it, and they will never run out, just like someone comes to feed the pigs every once in a while, so Lao Dao calls it a pig farm." Li Xiu replied.

"There is actually such a place? Where did those gems come from? Could they be baits created by the evil spirits?" Jiu Xiaoyun was a little bit unbelievable.

"Who knows? I don't care anyway. If you care, then stay outside." Li Xiu said and jumped down.

Sha Chu and Jing Li also jumped down with Li Xiu without hesitation. Jiu Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and jumped down.

This seemed to be a bottomless cave. The bodies of Li Xiu and his companions kept sinking, but the speed of descent was getting slower and slower, as if there was an invisible force supporting them.

After more than half an hour, the four people reached the bottom of the cave and their bodies slowly fell onto the white jade-like ground.

Looking up, the hole was about the size of a needle tip. I had no idea how high this damn place was.

None of the four people were in the mood to care about this problem, because they all saw colorful gems scattered all over the ground.

"Oh my god... rubies the size of ping-pong balls... emeralds the size of soaps... this thing that looks like an ostrich egg, could it be a sapphire... are these gems real? How can the Demon Kingdom have gems from Earth..." Jiu Xiaoyun's eyes were wide open.

Not only him, Li Xiu and Sha Chu also had shining eyes, but no one dared to pick up the gems on the ground.

"Chief, can I take these gems?" Jiu Xiaoyun looked at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu pondered and said, "Lao Dao said that these gems can be taken, but..."

Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Jiu Xiaoyun, who had only heard half of what he said, had already reached out and picked up the ruby ​​the size of a ping-pong ball on the ground.

He had just picked up the ruby ​​when it suddenly emitted a strange red light. Jiu Xiaoyun immediately screamed and threw the ruby ​​in his hand away.

I saw that his palm was already charred and the flesh on it was burnt.

"You cheated me!" Jiu Xiaoyun's lips trembled in pain.

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "Who told you not to listen to me? I said the gems can be taken, but these gems are a little different from the gems on our earth. The gems contain a huge amount of unstable light energy. Once they are touched, the light energy inside will burst out."

Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Spear, pointed at Jiu Xiaoyun's hand and said, "Do you want me to help you heal?"

"How to treat it? Break my arm?" Jiu Xiaoyun quickly dodged Li Xiu's gun.

"How could you think of me like that? The bullets in my gun have healing abilities. Do you want to try it?" Li Xiu said.

"Forget it. I have my own way to heal myself." Jiu Xiaoyun took out a jade leaf and placed it on his burnt palm. The burnt flesh gradually began to recover.

"The light energy inside these gems is so unstable, just like a bomb. There is no way to absorb the light energy inside. What's the use of having more?" Jiuxiaoyun said depressedly while healing his wounds.
