Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 150 The storm is coming
Duanmu Qin was very satisfied with Li Ji'an's attitude and reaction.

First, he is obviously attracted to the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth.

Second, he is not a foolish person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken a fancy to Li Ji'an.

People like Hua Hongling who lack foresight and act impulsively at the first sign of trouble are not worth discussing with.

The most important thing is that now is not the best time.

It is only in muddy waters that it is easy to fish.

This is just the first test, there is a long way to go.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you will know my sincerity in the future." Duanmu Qin bowed.

Li Ji'an nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I originally prepared a gift for Xiao Qiao. How about asking Brother Li to pass it to her?" Before leaving, Duanmu Qin took out a jade hairpin from her storage bag.

"Fairy, you are so thoughtful. I would like to thank you on behalf of Xiao Qiao." Li Ji'an took the jade hairpin.

"Friend Li, Xiao Qiao is already a grown-up girl. If there's anything that's inconvenient for you, you can ask her to spend more time with me."

Li Ji'an smiled slightly. He had been counseling Xiao Qiao a lot in his free time over the years. Xiao Qiao's personality had improved a lot now. In addition, she had grown into a beautiful young lady and was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training. He also often encouraged Xiao Qiao to go out for a walk.

"Li will definitely tell Xiao Qiao."

After sending Duanmu Qin away, Li Ji'an scanned the jade hairpin with his spiritual sense, confirmed that there was no problem, and handed it to Xiao Qiao.

In the following six months, great opportunities often appeared in the ruins of the Daze Mountains.

Jinhuang Immortal City also ushered in another sustained surge in the number of people.

Not only did independent cultivators from the entire Cangyun Province flock here to try their luck, but many family cultivators also came here to wait for an opportunity.

Obviously, the news about the harvest of relics was most likely targeted, but it was definitely spread intentionally by someone with ulterior motives, and many of the words were exaggerated.

On this day, Li Ji'an finally received good news from Yan Qingwan.

He said that two and a half years ago, the bandit group suddenly fell apart, and the remaining ones were slaughtered by the Zheng family and the four-family alliance.

Just as the Yan family began to deal with the siege from the Zheng family and the four-family alliance, the young master of the Zheng family suddenly died at the hands of the Qingshuihe Li family, one of the four-family alliance.

There was a second-level talisman aura lingering at the scene, and the Zheng family pointed the spearhead at the Li family. In the end, the Zheng family and the four-family alliance had a fierce battle.

The dying ancestor of the Zheng family replaced the ancestor of the Li family, and then used the Li family's land as a condition in exchange for the other three families to stand idly by.

Eventually, the Li family was destroyed and the clan land was taken over by three families.

The Zheng family only had two foundation-building ancestors left, and their vitality was severely damaged. They offered apologies to the Yan family and the three-family alliance respectively. The two foundation-building ancestors personally signed a blood contract, promising never to commit the crime again in their lifetime.

A year later, internal strife broke out among the three alliances due to uneven distribution of spoils.

The Yan family made friends with those far away and attacked those nearby, and took down the nearest Wei family with thundering means. Three members of the Yan family established their foundation, and only the ancestor was injured.

Afterwards, the two families in the northeast mourned each other's loss and swore an oath of blood alliance again, acknowledging the Yan family's dominance over the wilderness, and offered the Li family's land in Qingshui River with both hands and signed a blood contract.

At this point, the wasteland has regained stability.

The Yan family has three foundation-building members and occupies three second-level spiritual veins, replacing the Zheng family of that year and becoming the number one family in the wasteland.

Li Ji'an was very pleased with the result.

As a mere casual cultivator, he was powerless to change the general trend of the wilderness, but what he most wanted to see was naturally a favorable outcome for the Yan family.

The Yan family’s success today is inseparable from the cohesion within the clan, and the primary credit for cultivating this cohesion goes to clan leader Yan Zongsheng.

It is a bit regrettable that the seventh elder Yan Hongsheng died for his clan in the decisive battle for supremacy in the wilderness.

"The Biyun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, the Hall Master Jiang Yunzhou, invites you all to meet him!" Just as he put away the communication talisman, a majestic voice suddenly came from the core area where Li Ji'an and his group were.

"Jiang Yunzhou?" Li Ji'an was familiar with this person. He was the chief disciple who ranked first in the trial during the same period.

I met him by chance when I was returning from Flaming Mountain ten years ago. He had already established his foundation at that time.

Later, when he took Xiao Changfeng to relieve his worries, he learned that his identity was not simple. He was the relative and grandson of Jiang Wannian, one of the ten great True Dan elders who protected the Biyun Sect!

This time, it was actually the head of the Law Enforcement Hall! Li Ji'an stood up and walked outside.

"Uncle Li!"

"Fellow Daoist Li."

When they arrived at the front yard, Duanmu Qin had just said goodbye to Xiao Qiao.

Ever since Duan Muqin came once half a year ago and gave Xiao Qiao a gift, he often found excuses to come to the Li Mansion.

Considering that it was beneficial to Xiao Qiao's character, Li Ji'an didn't say much, but he was also very sensible and only stayed in the front yard every time he came.

Li Ji'an glanced at Xiao Qiao and smiled slightly. After being dressed up by Duanmu Qin, she looked like a beautiful girl, stunningly beautiful.

This also made Xiao Qiao more confident, and she was always laughing and cheerful.

"Fairy Qin, let's go." Li Ji'an and Duanmu Qin walked out of the Li Mansion side by side.

As soon as I left the house, I saw a man in a red robe standing in the air in the center of the area not far away, with his hands behind his back, looking down at this place.

"Middle stage of foundation building!" His magical aura did not restrain itself and filled the place wantonly.

Li Ji'an remembered that his spiritual roots were not particularly good back then, only twenty-six strands of top-grade spiritual roots.

According to local experience, it normally takes about thirty years for a top-grade spiritual root to go from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building. If one has sufficient top-grade or above elixirs to supplement the practice, the time can be shortened by 40%. If one often practices fighting skills, it can also have a 10% effect.

But the fastest it will take is sixteen or seventeen years.

It only took him thirteen years to go from foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

"In addition to the extraordinary martial arts, there are probably many natural treasures to supplement it!" Li Ji'an nodded secretly.

Then he carefully sensed his magical aura, which was strong and powerful, more than twice as strong as his own.

"Greetings, Hall Master Jiang!" The eight people in the core area all bowed in greeting.

No matter how they complain in private, as long as they are still in Cangyun Province, Biyun Sect is the king.

Even Master Gou Kui came out in person to pay his respects this time.

"No need to be so polite!" Jiang Yunzhou glanced down and then his eyes fixed.

"Everyone, Jiang will not beat around the bush. My Biyun Sect has been established for five thousand years. We have slain evil spirits, killed bandits, and resisted foreign enemies, ensuring peace in the entire state. Countless fellow disciples have died and disappeared. Don't you think this is an enormous act of kindness?"

"To ensure the safety of the state for eternity and strengthen our sect, we risked depleting our resources, gathered countless resources, and spent over a decade to finally break through the ruins."

"During this period, many of our sect's outstanding brothers and sisters were willing to contribute their key cultivation resources for the sake of eternal peace in the future."

"During this period, countless immortal seedlings with extraordinary talents were buried in the ruins. Could their blood have been shed in vain?"

"But... now that we've finally gained something, I never imagined that those with ulterior motives would spread rumors, mislead the world, and even snatch the opportunity to obtain the ruins from our sect! What do you think? Should they die?"

……

"You are all cultivators in the foundation-building stage of the Immortal City, and have enjoyed the spiritual veins of the Immortal City for many years. This time... don't make mistakes!"

In the end, Jiang Yunzhou revealed his true purpose.

Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

However, no matter how arrogant his demeanor or how cruel his tone, Li Ji'an could see at a glance that he was actually weak!
The fact that he came here today and said these words is very telling.

The dignified Biyun Sect actually began to care about these few foundation-building people.

What does it mean?
This means that these few Foundation Establishment cultivators may also make him feel threatened.

Under normal circumstances, these Foundation Establishment cultivators would probably not even be looked at by the Biyun Sect. If they dared to approach them, they would be killed with a single move.

But now he came specifically to warn and threaten them.

Li Ji'an narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is the situation so tense now? Could it be the pressure from the two northern states?"

Duanmu Qin's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously pursed her lips.
