Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 116: When time comes, heaven and earth all work together

After receiving the message from Yan Qingwan, Li Ji'an felt a little relieved.

According to previous news, no matter how the eight families in the wasteland fight, it is estimated that it will take some time to determine the winner.

Moreover, the Eight Great Families are, after all, well-known cultivation families in Cangyun Province. Even if the winner is decided in the end, they will abide by the rules of Biyun Sect and will not commit acts of genocide against each other.

The bandits in Tianyuan Prefecture were unscrupulous, brutal, and cruel.

However, what surprised Li Ji'an a little was that Xiao Changfeng had already reported the matter to the sect four months ago, but the sect had not sent anyone to pursue him?

Ten days later, Xiao Changfeng and Li Ji'an returned to the family that had been exterminated.

It happened that the Biyun Sect's law enforcement team had completed the investigation and cleanup.

"Hello, Senior Brother Jiang." Xiao Changfeng came forward to greet him from afar.

Coincidentally, the deacon leading the team was one of the three true disciples who had entered the sect together with Li Ji'an during the entrance examination.

"Junior Brother Xiao, have you finished your personal affairs? The sect is in need of people right now, so it would be better for you to return home early." Jiang Yunzhou raised his eyes and nodded at Xiao Changfeng.

"Yes, Junior Brother, this trip is to return to the sect." Xiao Changfeng clasped his fists and bowed.

Then, Jiang Yunzhou looked at Li Ji'an.

"Huh? It's you, Li Fan." They were together until the end, and Li Ji'an had complimented him. Jiang Yunzhou recognized Li Ji'an at a glance.

Sensing the foundation-building aura emanating from him, Li Ji'an bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Greetings, Senior Jiang."

"Little Li, you were a bit young and frivolous back then." Jiang Yunzhou said casually. They had all heard about Li Ji'an making a living by his alchemy skills in Xiancheng.

"Senior Jiang is right." Li Ji'an agreed.

Seeing his attitude, Jiang Yunzhou ignored him.

Xiao Changfeng thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Jiang, the latest news is that the bandits have arrived in the wilderness. According to the Wilderness Clan, there are nearly a hundred of them, and at least three Foundation Establishment Taoists are supporting them. I wonder who is going to the sect? Are they well prepared?"

Jiang Yunzhou waved his hand and said, "The sect is in urgent need of manpower right now. We don't have the time to spare. Let's leave this matter to the eight families of the wasteland. If that doesn't work, let the five major families handle it. We can't rely on us for everything."

Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but finally he kept his mouth shut and bowed before leaving.

Li Ji'an's heart was also slightly moved, but he had long guessed that the Biyun Sect had been making some secret moves over the years, and he was afraid that he really couldn't free up his hands at this moment.

Of course, perhaps the Biyun Sect also has the idea of keeping the many forces in the state busy.

Set off again.

Xiao Changfeng spoke much less along the way.

Li Ji'an continued to plan his foundation-building efforts.

If you fail to build a foundation, you will end up being an ant. Even in Cangyun Province, you will not be able to protect yourself, let alone get involved in other things.

Now that he has reached the ninth level of Qi training, his magic power cultivation has reached the top of the Qi training period. The next step is to strengthen his magic power and transform his Dantian, which is the stage of accumulating and consolidating the magic power from gas to liquid in the foundation-building period. The effect of elixirs is very small.

If you can get some spiritual objects from heaven and earth, this process will be completed quickly.

Or fighting life and death, refining magic power, can also help you reach the peak faster.

With Li Ji'an's current status, it is almost impossible for him to obtain spiritual objects from heaven and earth. As for life-and-death battles, they are even less suitable for him and he can only rely on time.

However, it will reach its peak in three years at most.

"In three years, can the Fire Spirit reach the power of a first-level Spirit Flame?"

"Foundation-building pill medicinal materials..."

Although Zhao Shuyao had comforted him before, she was afraid that the materials for the foundation-building pill, which were very difficult to obtain for ordinary cultivators or even the wasteland families, should not be so difficult for Tong Yaoyao.

However, he has no spiritual stones saved now.

He'd spent almost all his energy over the past six years striving to reach the ninth level of Qi training. This time, capturing the Fire Spirit, the Spirit Replenishing Pills and Spirit Trapping Talismans he'd consumed along the way, along with the newer, more powerful talismans, had practically drained him completely. "Save Spirit Stones!" Fortunately, his alchemy skills were now refined, his talisman skills had also improved, and he was a bit well-known within the Immortal City, with many repeat customers. His ability to earn Spirit Stones was still quite good.

Three months later, he returned to Xiancheng safely.

First report to Jiuding Chamber of Commerce. I have been away for nearly a year, so I must inform them when I return.

Zhao Shuyao said a few years ago that she was going out for a trip, and she hasn't come back yet. Li Ji'an guessed that she went to the trial with Tong Yaoyao, and might not be in Cangyun Province or even in Tiancang Territory anymore.

When he returned to his residence, Grandma You next door was still not back, and the warning symbol that Li Ji'an had set up before leaving was not triggered.

Grandma You was taken away by the sect, so the Immortal City should have reserved a courtyard for her.

The warning talismans around Li Ji'an's own yard were also intact, and the protective magic circle was functioning normally.

With the Biyun Sect's law enforcement guards guarding it, the fairy city is indeed safer.

In addition to the patrols of law enforcement guards, the city defense formation is constantly sensing fluctuations in the city's spiritual energy, and any slight abnormality will attract attention. According to records, no serious incidents have occurred in hundreds of years.

Of course, it is also possible that a few incidents were whitewashed by law enforcement officials.

After carefully checking every corner of the yard and asking Gua Gua and Xiao Qiao to check the area ten feet underground in the yard to ensure that everything was normal, Li Ji'an finally calmed down again.

"Qua~"

"Uncle Li, how is Xiaohuo?"

As soon as they entered the house, Gua Gua and Xiao Qiao surrounded Li Ji'an.

They are also curious about the Fire Spirit.

Li Ji'an smiled slightly and summoned the fire spirit.

Over the past four and a half months, the little fire spirit has recovered a lot, and the fire spirit that had been weakened by several spirit-trapping talismans has become vigorous again.

Moreover, careful observation reveals that after being nurtured by Li Ji'an's fire magic power in his dantian for a period of time, the fire spirit has become richer and the color has become darker.

As soon as one of them appeared, he was startled to see a large frog head.

But he does have a certain affinity towards Xiao Qiao.

Li Ji'an communicated with the fire spirit, asking it to restrain the power of the fire, not to hurt Xiao Qiao and Gua Gua, and not to set the house on fire.

Then he carefully sensed the situation in his dantian.

On the way, as the fire spirit gradually recovered, he felt subtle changes in the fire magic power in his dantian, and suspected that it was caused by the fire spirit.

At this moment, after careful sensing, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even though the fire spirit has left the dantian, the fire magic power in the dantian is still as pure and condensed as it was sensed on the road.

"Is it that while the fire spirit is being nourished, impurities are removed and the magic power is refined?"

This discovery delighted him.

He was originally worried that nourishing the Fire Spirit would delay his progress in reaching the peak of Qi training, but he never thought that it would actually be beneficial.

"Speaking of spiritual objects in heaven and earth, this Fire Element Holy Spirit must be the ultimate spiritual object. It makes sense that it has such an effect!" Li Ji'an smiled brightly after quickly figuring out the connection.

When times come, heaven and earth all work together!
Li Ji'an even suspected that he had taken away Xiao Changfeng's luck this time.

I have been in this cultivation world for fifty-eight years, and this outing seems to be the luckiest one I have ever had.

The only difference compared to before is that this time Xiao Changfeng is with him.

After realizing the effect of the fire spirit on refining magic power, Li Ji'an gained confidence and was afraid that he would be able to complete his Qi training in another year.
