After saying this, Li Xiao displayed the Haotian Jinque Miro True Body, and then shouted in a low voice:

"God·Hundreds of Streams Return to One·Sky-Chasing Sun Sword!"

A small golden sword moved along with Li Xiao's sword finger, swelled in the wind, and in an instant became hundreds of feet long. Then Li Xiao's sword finger fell, and the golden sword followed suit and chopped on the ice pillar.

Intricate patterns appeared on the surface of the icicle, like some kind of formation. It only resisted for a breath before shattering into pieces.

As a stream of light streaked across the sky and flew into the distance, the icicle instantly burst open, revealing the blood-red pig demon's lungs sealed inside.

As soon as the pig demon's lungs were freed from the seal, it immediately burst out with powerful demonic energy, trying to break free, but Li Xiao would never give it a chance.

He just clenched his five fingers, and the pig monster's lung was immediately tightly grasped by a big golden hand.

Qiu Changkong was stunned watching from the side. He had never seen such a miraculous method. Even when their Qingyun Sword Sect's ancestor, Qingyun Emperor, was alive, he had never seen such a spectacular scene.

At the same time, he was secretly glad in his heart that he had wisely chosen to cooperate with Li Xiao. Otherwise, if he really became an enemy of Li Xiao, the entire Qingyun Sword Sect would probably be destroyed.

"Your Majesty is extremely capable. I admire you so much." Qiu Changkong complimented.

Li Xiao smiled slightly without saying much. He stretched out his hand and the sealed pig demon's lung turned into a stream of light and flew into his palm.

"Okay, I have got the pig demon's lung. Take me to see the daily record of your ancestor." Li Xiao said lightly.

Qiu Changkong bowed slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, please."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to fly into the air, but he felt his shoulders sink, and then his whole body stood up on the ground. After a dizzying moment and a few breaths, he finally felt that he was standing on solid ground.

“This…this…”

Qiu Changkong was shocked to find that he had already appeared in front of the sect's main hall.

"Exactly where it is? You lead the way."

Qiu Changkong's scalp tingled, and he responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qiu Changkong suppressed the shock in his heart and led Li Xiao into one of the three halls behind the sect's main hall - the Transmission Pavilion.

As the name suggests, this is the place where the sect teaches skills and imparts doctrines. When you step inside, you will see flickering candlelight all around and the ancient bookshelves are filled with classics, each of which carries the history and wisdom of the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Qiu Changkong walked to a hidden bookshelf with ease, then took out an inconspicuous book. The bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing a deep secret passage. He turned around and said to Li Xiao, "The daily record is hidden in this secret room. Please follow me, my king."

Li Xiao nodded and stepped into the secret passage. The secret passage was brightly lit, and the walls were carved with complex runes, emitting a faint spiritual light, as if they had a protective function. Qiu Changkong introduced the history and meaning of these runes as he walked forward, while Li Xiao listened silently and nodded occasionally.

Soon, the two came to a secret room. Qiu Changkong pushed open the door and saw that the room was filled with various ancient books, and the air was filled with a faint scent of ink. He walked to a desk and carefully pulled out an ancient book. On the cover, five large characters "Qingyun Qijulu" were embroidered with golden silk thread.

"Your Majesty, this is the daily record left by our ancestor." Qiu Changkong presented it with both hands with a respectful look.

Li Xiao took the diary and flipped it open. It recorded the words and deeds of the ancestors of Qingyun Sword Sect, as well as various secrets and anecdotes. He flipped through it quickly, looking for clues about the pig monster's parts.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Xiao finally found the information he wanted on a yellowed page. He looked up at Qiu Changkong, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Found it!"

The book records that the pig monster's spleen is guarded by Emperor Lieyang, Emperor Panlong guards the pig monster's stomach, and the pig monster's ears are in the hands of Emperor Caihua.

"That's not right, Sect Master Qiu, why isn't the location of the other great emperors' sects recorded here?"

Qiu Changkong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this... before the great emperors were born, the sects behind them, including our Qingyun Sword Sect, were just insignificant ordinary sects. They were only mentioned in the imperial court map 30,000 years ago, but they have long been lost.

After the catastrophe, the ten great emperors gathered the shackles of heaven and earth and passed away one after another. Take our Qingyun Sword Sect for example, we have been hiding from the world since then, waiting for the emperor to reincarnate and return. The other sects are probably the same. Therefore, in the past 30,000 years, the ten great sects have not appeared in the world, and naturally there is no connection between them. "

Li Xiao frowned when he heard this.

Without a map, it would be a pipe dream to want to find these three hidden sects on the Kyushu continent.

Take the Qingyun Sword Sect for example. Without Old Huang's guidance, he would never have thought that he would be in such a place.

"Okay, I understand. In this case, I will think of other ways. I'll take my leave now."

"I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."

Li Xiao waved his hand, and in a flash he came out of the tunnel. In just a breath, when Qiu Chuji followed him out, Li Xiao was nowhere to be found.

Qiu Chuji paced to the entrance of the hall and stared in the direction from which Li Xiao came.

After a long while, he sighed and murmured softly: "I don't know... Is it a blessing or a curse?"

After leaving the boundless snowy area, Li Xiao had no idea what to do for the time being, so he simply went to the capital first.

The capital Chang'an was safe and sound, but the court was in chaos.

In just a few days, sects of all sizes sprang up everywhere like mushrooms after a rain.

Thanks to the suppression of the four demons including Tiezhu, no one in the local area dared to go against the court.

But as the saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the devil. These new powerful people in the secret realm of magical powers have established their own sects and attracted a large number of people to join them with their magical powers.

Although their little magical powers are so insignificant compared to the real magical powers of the demon clan, they are enough to win over the people at the bottom.

Originally this would have been nothing, but the number of people in this group was too large.

Although there were not many masters in the Dajing Dynasty originally, if one or two came out of each prefecture, they could attract thousands of people.

Nowadays, there are 30,000 people who have been absorbed into such sects, and most of them are young and strong.

Moreover, most of these people stopped working after joining the sect, which led to a large amount of farmland being abandoned. Not to mention it was left deserted, but the remaining old, weak, sick and young were not enough to support the burden of production. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the fields became barren.

This is a big trouble.

Now the people are all bewitched. If we use force directly, we will inevitably lose the support of the people.

You must know that the Li Tang Dynasty was in its ascendant at this time, having just been established for less than a year, and a time of great strife was about to come, so it was absolutely imperative to not cause unrest among the people.

But production is an urgent issue. If the farming season is missed, the grain output for that year will inevitably be reduced.

The ministers in the Fengtian Hall were confused, but no one could come up with a practical idea.

When it comes to matters concerning a large number of people and production, there is no such thing as a trivial matter.

Li Tian looked at the ministers who were lowering their heads and unable to even fart, and he could not help but throw the jade paperweight out fiercely. It bounced on the ground and hit a minister's head accurately.

Fortunately, the other party was also a warrior and was not seriously injured. He just knelt down in a hurry and begged for mercy.

"Please be wise, Lord Kaiguo! I am a military commander, and I don't know how to govern..."

"you!"

Li Tianqi was furious and jumped up and down:

"You receive salaries from the court every day, and enjoy the support of the people. But when the court and the people need you, you can't even fart. What's the use of you? Are you better than raising a few pigs? The problem is that the pigs can still be killed and eaten! The pigs are more useful than you! Aren't you all ashamed? Have you all just wasted your ten years studying?"

No matter how furious Li Tian was and how harshly he cursed, the ministers under him remained unmoved.

In fact, they are also anxious, but this is an unsolvable proposition.

Everyone knows that entering the realm of supernatural powers can increase a person's lifespan by several decades.

No one can resist the temptation of longevity. Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about the officials in the court. Who doesn't want to live two more years? However, with Li Yunqing in the capital, no one dared to have such a crooked idea. The most important thing is that they have seen Li Xiao take action, which is definitely not something that ordinary warriors in the realm of magic can contend with.

But it’s different in other places. Ordinary people have never seen Li Xiao, and don’t know what a higher realm is like. They only know that whoever they follow will give them meat to eat, immortality, and two more years to live.

Li Tian looked at his dumbfounded ministers and couldn't help falling into despair. His own qualifications were limited. Not to mention the secret realm of magical powers, he had never even set foot in the realm of a grandmaster. Therefore, he could understand why those poor people could be easily bewitched.

This is indeed a dead end. If you want to solve it, you can only rely on Xiaoer...

"Dismiss!"

When Li Xiao saw Li Tian, ​​the old man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and half of his hair had turned white.

Although he should have some white hair at the age of nearly fifty, it should be far more than this. Li Xiao couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Xiao'er, you..."

"Don't talk yet, Grandpa."

Li Xiao took out a bottle of spiritual power and transferred it into Li Tian's body.

The latter began to come alive visibly.

The gray hair has almost disappeared, and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes have also faded a lot.

The most important thing is that Li Tian can clearly feel that his cultivation is skyrocketing.

A crisp sound was faintly heard, as if something was broken.

"Grandpa, I have raised your cultivation to the seventh level of the magical power secret realm, but you haven't learned any magical powers yet. I have instructed two of my subordinates to bring their magical powers to Beijing to open a school. You can learn a few magical powers by then. Although they are not of much use in this world of great strife, they can help you protect yourself in the future and prolong your life."

Li Xiao did not help Li Tian break through the wind and fire catastrophe because the other party's soul was too fragile.

When he helped others to overcome the tribulation before, he only blocked most of the thunder and wind tribulations and most of the fire tribulations. However, the moment the fire tribulation appeared, it also had a great impact on the soul, even more violent than the burning afterwards.

Those who are undergoing tribulation can ignore everything else but must withstand this wave of impact.

But Li Tian has just come into contact with the secret realm of magical powers at this age, and his soul is still very fragile. It can even be said that it has not yet condensed into a shape. Therefore, he will definitely not be able to withstand the calamity of this incomplete soul.

"Xiao'er, thank you so much. I can stay with you for a few more years."

"Hey, Grandpa, what are you talking about? Look in the mirror. Do you look like an old man at all?"

Li Tian was shocked to realize that his cultivation had increased so much that his life span had increased by at least 100 to 200 years. Now... compared to ordinary people, he should be considered a young man...

"Ahem, well, Xiao'er, from now on you should just call me Duke of the Kingdom, not Grandpa..."

"Uh-huh?!"

"Huh~ This technique is much more awesome than that 'Black Sky Ultimate Intention Technique'! Hmm! It even deserves an awesome name! Hmm... let's call it... Hun Yuan Qi Tian Sheng Gong!"

Li Xiao weighed the booklet in his hand, sucked his teeth, and was full of pride.

This is a self-cultivation method he created based on a series of movements performed by farmers during the farming process.

After learning about the recent unrest in the empire, he immediately thought of Zhu Chixin's creation of a method for his followers to practice. He couldn't help but wonder if he could also create a method for the people to practice, which would not only take care of production, but also strengthen the body and prolong life...

Of course, with his current mental strength, it is impossible for him to create a set of martial arts. Not to mention one, even ten thousand different ones would not be a problem.

The only problem is how to integrate it into farmers’ daily production.

But fortunately, he finally did it, which might have something to do with his peasant background in his previous life...

Li Xiao is also equipped with a method to condense his soul.

Carrying two booklets, Li Xiao found Li Tian.

"Excuse me... Ahem, Duke Kaiguo, this is a martial art I created overnight. This is a matching method for gathering the soul. You can pass it down and print millions of copies. The former can be used by ordinary people for cultivation. When you have cultivated to the great perfection of the martial arts master, you can start to try to gather the soul. After the condensation is successful, you can learn supernatural powers.

As for magical powers, a special martial arts academy can be established in each county. The county-level academy is only equipped with low-level magical powers, the prefecture-level is equipped with medium-level magical powers, and the number of high-level magical powers is scarce, and it is only equipped in large academies at the state level. If you want to learn supreme magical powers, you must go to the capital...

Of course, I haven’t obtained the supreme supernatural power yet, but that’s a story for later.

I don't know much about these things, so you can arrange them. In addition, I have left many magic weapons in the treasury, which have been classified into categories. It would be best to set up a special department to look after and distribute them."

Li Xiao gave instructions one by one, and Li Tian wrote them down in a booklet as if they were treasures.

"…Okay, that's all for now. Anything else?"

"Well... we can handle other things ourselves. Those ministers are not all here to do nothing. With the general rules, they can handle the details. But Xiao'er, can't you stay in the capital for a long time?"

Li Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:

"I have a more important task. The passage between the upper and lower worlds will soon open, and the era of great strife is about to come. I still have a lot of preparations to make..."
