Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 110 A little famous
Ever since Gua Gua devoured tens of thousands of soul-hosting ants and was promoted to the late first stage 28 years ago, he accidentally developed the ability to shield his soul, and his spiritual consciousness has been unable to sense it.

Once the spirit or soul touches its body, it passes by as if naturally.

In addition, in recent years, especially in the first few years after entering the Yan family in his second life, he took the queen ant to hunt in the depths of the wilderness. During the period of raising the queen ant according to the method taught by Li Ji'an, the countless soul-hosting ants born by the queen ant every year became his food, which made his ability in this area increasingly enhanced.

Even though his spiritual awareness was now comparable to that of the middle stage of foundation building, even if the creature was right behind him, he would still be unable to sense it at all.

And at this moment, that guy has hidden himself thirty feet underground!

"God's favored one? Or some other divine power I don't understand?"

"Was Grandma You's adoption accidental or was it due to this miraculous phenomenon?"

"Is he unwilling to take Xiao Qiao with him to the sect because he has a premonition that he won't be able to escape unscathed, or is he worried that the sect will discover his supernatural powers?"

In an instant, countless distracting thoughts filled Li Ji'an's mind.

"Xiao Qiao, can you... see it?" After calming himself down, Li Ji'an came to the courtyard and asked tentatively.

Xiao Qiao raised her head slightly and then nodded.

"Where is it now?" Li Ji'an used the spirit pet contract to let Gua Gua move to the next yard.

Xiao Qiao's eyes instantly moved to.

"now what?"

……

After several attempts, it was completely confirmed.

During this process, Li Ji'an used his spiritual awareness to its fullest, not missing any trace of breath, but he did not sense any spiritual power from Xiao Qiao.

No abnormalities were found in his incompletely grown dantian.

"That……"

However, just as he was about to continue exploring, a look of fear suddenly flashed in Xiao Qiao's eyes, and he subconsciously moved away.

"Huh~ Xiao Qiao, don't be afraid, uncle is a good man." Then he stopped testing.

"Quack~" called out the quack.

"Quack~" When Guagua emerged from the ground, Xiao Qiao finally showed a rare smile on his face.

"Big toad." Then he wanted to reach out and touch the toad.

"Quack~" Guagua turned around and faced away from her, rolling his eyes in a very human way.

Li Ji'an smiled and patted Guagua's head. He said to Xiao Qiao, "It's not a toad, it's a frog, and it calls Guagua."

"Quack." Xiao Qiao called softly again.

"Quack~" This time, Guagua reluctantly turned around.

Li Ji'an stopped disturbing them and turned to go into his alchemy room.

When Granny You came to say goodbye today, he had just stabilized his ninth level of Qi training and was about to try to use more powerful and pure magic power to draw a first-order late-stage teleportation talisman.

The reason why he gave priority to trying the Displacement Talisman was because of its unparalleled ability to escape.

Back when they were in the Yan family's medicine garden, Yan Kongyi had drawn a first-level elementary small teleportation talisman himself, which could travel dozens of miles in an instant, and had already made Li Ji'an jealous.

However, in the world of cultivation, there are various escape methods, air control, flying instruments, as well as spiritual locks and spiritual sensing, so a distance of dozens of miles is far from enough.

At this moment, the late-stage teleportation talisman that Li Ji'an wanted to try was enough for him to escape from the hands of a Taoist priest in the foundation-building stage.

Even the lower quality ones can travel three hundred miles in an instant.

However, this set of talisman materials used the top-grade Li Xuan branch, and the price of the talisman materials alone cost ninety spirit stones, which was a bit too expensive.

If he had not thoroughly studied the talisman inheritance given by Yan Kongyi in the past six years and made many improvements on this basis, he would really be reluctant to use it for practice.

However, at this moment, because Xiao Qiao made his mood fluctuate, he was not prepared to continue. The mood not only affects his cultivation, but also has a great impact on all arts.

Put the talisman materials away properly and concentrate your mind.

After a long time.

"Hu~" Li Ji'an slowly exhaled and his mood gradually recovered.

Feeling the stable ninth level of Qi training power in his body, he felt relieved and secretly sighed.

From the time he started practicing cultivation in his previous life to the time he stabilized his Qi training at the ninth level today, he had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of practicing cultivation here.

Especially based on some ancient legends he had heard over the years, he developed a yearning for the ancient times.

It is said that many relics unearthed in recent years have shown that the laws of nature at that time were perfect. Human cultivators, even if they did not have extraordinary comprehension, were blessed by the way of heaven and earth. They could absorb spiritual energy and refine magic power just like they do now, with the help of luck. Even the properties of spiritual energy between heaven and earth were different. They did not need many external objects at all. They could absorb spiritual energy and refine magic power by themselves, and both the progress and the effectiveness of the magic power were very good.

Now, without mentioning the two bottlenecks in the Qi Refining Stage, let’s just talk about cultivators with the same spiritual roots, the same situation, and the same skills. Whether or not they have elixirs to assist and supplement their practice, the outcomes will be very different.

If he hadn't taken enough elixirs to replenish himself in the past six years, he would probably have barely broken through to the eighth level of Qi training by now.

The most important thing is that the quality of the elixir will also affect the mana and potential.

If he had only taken genuine or mid-grade elixirs, the effects of drug resistance and elixir poisoning would probably not have reached the current level.

Fortunately, his spirit was strong and his comprehension was extraordinary, so his alchemy skills could barely handle it.

But in the past six years, I have hardly saved any spirit stones.

Fortunately, now that I have reached the ninth level of Qi training, I need to further consolidate my magic power and stabilize my realm. I don’t need to consume a large amount of high-quality elixirs anymore, and I should be able to save some spirit stones later.

Accumulate materials for foundation-building pills bit by bit.

After a moment, he spread out the talismans he had drawn in the past few years in his storage bag again.

The seven mid-term talismans he had when he left the Yan family had been sold at other shops, and now only five were left.

A late-stage, top-grade golden knife talisman has the power of a full-strength attack from the golden magic power of a peak-level Qi training cultivator. If one uses Yan Hongsheng, whose family is at the peak of Qi training, as a reference, it can almost instantly break his magic shield and injure his body.

A mid-range, top-grade teleportation talisman that could allow one to travel a hundred miles in an instant. He planned to replace this talisman after drawing a late-range teleportation talisman.

A late-stage fine freezing talisman, and also the only late-stage fine talisman in six years. This talisman is relatively simple, one reason being that Li Ji'an had previously drawn many cold wind talismans based on it. Once activated, it can create a freezing effect on the target within a range of ten feet, depending on the strength of the opponent's body protection shield. If we use Yan Hongsheng as a reference, he should be able to be frozen for three breaths, and then his speed will continue to slow down.

A late-stage, top-grade golden bell talisman, and the first golden knife talisman are difficult to break with one strike.

The last one is a late-stage, top-grade water curtain talisman, which can defend in a wide area and trap the enemy. He mainly wants to compare this talisman with the one activated by the family cultivator who brought them to the cultivation world that year. Comparing the two, the water curtain talisman that year should be a late-stage, low-grade one.

These five talismans replaced the previous seven trump cards, making the Qi training period almost worry-free.

"My magic power should be enough to draw a second-level talisman now, but unfortunately I don't have a second-level inheritance." Li Ji'an was a little disappointed after putting the talisman away.

The higher the level of the talisman, the greater its power and the more precious it is. Even the second-level talismans are considered strategic materials among forces because they are good at attacking and fighting, and are easy to carry and hide, and are difficult to obtain.

It was already dark when Li Ji'an went out and saw Xiao Qiao having a great time playing with Gua Gua.

It can be said that we have known each other for seven years, and today is the first time I have seen Xiao Qiao smile so happily.

Li Ji'an simply let Gua Gua accompany Xiao Qiao back to the next door, which could be considered as a personal bodyguard.

A month passed in a flash, and Grandma You did not come back.

On this day, Li Ji'an received another message from Yan Qingwan. In the past six years, after several messages, Yan Qingwan took the initiative to talk about the situation in the wasteland, affirmed Li Ji'an's decision to leave in time, and explained the reasons for the chaos in the wasteland.

The Zheng family received strong support from the Liu family before they made up their minds to start the war.

Initially, the Zheng family was almost outnumbered, as the seven families had been on guard for a long time. After they attacked the weakest family, the other six families immediately joined in. The Zheng family almost suffered a heavy loss in the initial battle, but at the critical moment, the second-level illusion array saved the Zheng family.

Afterwards, he used a second-level killing formation to kill the two foundation-building ancestors.

Now the Zheng family has occupied three second-level spiritual vein sites, and has exchanges with the other five families with the help of the formation provided by the Liu family.

Yan Qingwan said that the situation is now stable again.

Li Ji'an finished reading the message and stared at it for a moment.

The Liu family's move is probably an attempt to finally take control of the wasteland.

Otherwise, with his family background, it would be no problem for him to help the Zheng family take down the other seven families in the wasteland in one fell swoop.

He is now deliberately letting the Zheng family and other families consume each other.

Shaking his head, Li Ji'an stopped thinking about it.

What he can think of, other families in the wilderness can definitely think of, even the Zheng family itself can think of.

It’s hard to say how it will develop in the end.

However, the Liu family's actions made Li Ji'an even more suspicious that they were the family that raised blood slaves back then.

To the north of the Xianci Dynasty, beyond the sandstorm area, lies the wasteland. If the Liu family occupies the wasteland, they will undoubtedly be closer to the Xianci Dynasty.

After three months.

Grandma You still hasn't come back.

That day, Li Ji'an took Xiao Qiao out to buy daily necessities.

"Master Li Dan is going out."

"Master Li Dan."

"Meeting Master Li Dan."

……

Li Ji'an has been on the list of alchemists for several consecutive years and is now quite famous in the Immortal City.

I met many people who greeted me along the way.

Of course, he was only slightly famous during the Qi training period.

There are still some benefits. Two years ago, a business company that specializes in holding auctions customized special elixirs for the auctions from him, and he was also invited to participate in several auctions.

While broadening my horizons, I also completely gave up the idea of buying foundation-building pills from the market to build my foundation.

I learned from that business that the better Foundation Establishment Pills would not be put up for auction, and even if they were, the prices would be ridiculously high.

Genuine foundation-building pills increase the success rate of foundation-building by 20%, while mid-grade ones increase it by 30%. Even with this one-tenth chance, the price difference is nearly doubled, which really proves that the cultivators are fighting for that slim chance of becoming immortals.

Because of this, he only had two options left in his foundation-building plan over the years. The first choice was naturally to rely on refining it himself, but the biggest problem was the lack of alchemy fire.

The other way is to find a second-level alchemist to help refine it.

But both paths involve the issue of medicinal materials. Through the auction house, we learned that although the medicinal materials for foundation-building pills are scarce, they are not difficult to obtain to a certain extent for low-level cultivators.

Later, Li Ji'an asked Zhao Shuyao and got a positive answer.

However, the price is also not cheap.

He also comforted him, telling him not to worry about the medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill, and to focus on his cultivation until Tong Yaoyao returned from the trial at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

It was also at that time that Li Ji'an learned that the Chamber of Commerce of the Tong Yaoyao clan was not the Chamber of Commerce in the Tiancang Realm, but in another large cultivation area further northwest, isolated by the Lost Lin Tian Abandoned Land.

After taking Xiao Qiao shopping, they stopped by Taiping Inn.

Same corner sitting.

The difference is that sometimes people come to make friends.

After staying for half a day, he still didn't see the cultivator who talked about the spiritual flame of heaven and earth near the Jedi of Flame Mountain in the east more than two years ago.

"In this way, the possibility of deliberately luring me should be ruled out." Li Ji'an felt a little relieved.

Although that person just mentioned it casually, Li Ji'an later read almost all the ancient books in the entire fairy city that recorded about the spiritual flame of heaven and earth.

He even spent a hundred spirit stones to purchase information about Lingyan from an intelligence agency.

Spiritual flames have not only existed since ancient times, but have always existed. It is said that the third-level Dan King of Tianyuanzhou Wanfa Palace today has a spiritual flame fused in his dantian.

Moreover, according to ancient records, Lingyan is the spirit of heaven and earth.

To be precise, it is the product of the incarnation of the Holy Spirit of Fire that was conceived between heaven and earth.

It possesses the characteristics of the Holy Spirit of Rebirth, but lacks the spiritual wisdom of the Holy Spirit. It is an immortal being.

It was accidentally discovered by alchemists in ancient times that it can be nurtured in the Dantian. When refining the elixir, the spiritual flame's divine power is closer to the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth than the elixir fire condensed by his own fire-attribute skills. It is indeed a magical object that alchemists can only encounter when refining the elixir.

However, although Lingyan has lost its intelligence, it still has the nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. In addition, it is a spirit of heaven and earth, wandering among the mountains and rivers, and is very difficult to encounter.

The good thing is that after countless attempts, the ancient alchemist found a special method to capture the spiritual flame. It is not difficult. All it requires is a soul-trapping talisman that can isolate spiritual energy, and a mid-stage talisman will do.

For this reason, Li Ji'an has also practiced the soul-trapping talisman in recent years and has successfully drawn some of them.

When he returned to his residence that day, the communication talisman vibrated.

Xiao Changfeng finally replied.

Two years ago, when Li Ji'an accidentally heard about the Heaven and Earth Spirit Flame, he felt something strange.

However, one of them was worried that someone was setting him up and deliberately luring him there.

Secondly, he was unfamiliar with the area and had concerns.

During a conversation with Xiao Changfeng, I learned that Xiao Changfeng's hometown was nearby, so I mentioned it to him and said that if he ever wanted to go back there, we could go together.

Having inner disciples of the Biyun Sect following us would save us a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Changfeng finally returned from his training in the Daze Mountains in the north. He was going back to his hometown soon and invited Li Ji'an to join him.

He had been communicating with Xiao Changfeng over the years. He was promoted to the late stage of Qi training three years earlier than Li Ji'an. As a result, in order to accumulate contributions for exchanging for Foundation Establishment Pills, he reduced his daily training resources over the years, which led to his promotion to the ninth level of Qi training only last year.

He had top-grade spiritual roots, and he often fought to sharpen his magical powers, but his progress in cultivation was almost equaled by Li Ji'an.

However, his fighting experience is twice that of Li Ji'an.

If Li Ji'an didn't use his trump card, he might not be able to defeat him.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the situation where Xiao Changfeng does not have any external objects. If he has magic weapons or secret techniques, that would be a different story.

"Uncle Li, it's time to eat." In the evening, Xiao Qiao took Gua Gua to make a sumptuous midnight snack.

It was the monster meat that Li Ji'an bought in the fairy city today. He taught her how to stew it.

Since Xiao Qiao was born, Gua Gua has been able to enjoy a feast on his appetite. When Xiao Qiao cooks, he can also help, which makes the couple very harmonious.

Two months later, Grandma You still hadn't returned.

On this day, Xiao Changfeng, who had not seen him for eighteen years, finally stood in front of Li Ji'an again.
