Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 152 Aunt is coming
This time, Duanmu Qin did not mention the matter of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

The mutual flattery provided Li Ji'an with a lot of emotional value.

His words and actions were generous and measured, and the topics he guided were all relaxed and pleasant. He did not touch on any topic that would make Li Ji'an feel uncomfortable, nor did he make any moves to pry into secrets or test the details.

We had a great conversation, like old friends.

He even admitted at the end that the value of Li Ji'an's Yunfa Pill exceeded the last time's Shujinlianlian Lingzi, and he would either make up the difference to Li Ji'an or help Li Ji'an feel comfortable again.

Li Ji'an had already said that he would not accept the spirit stones, and finally underwent another baptism of muscles and bones.

It feels very good.

It is slightly helpful for the realm of physical cultivation.

After bidding farewell to Duanmu Qin, Li Ji'an returned to Li's residence, recalled her behavior that day, and guessed what she was thinking.

"As expected of an expert in studying the mind and soul, he has a remarkable mind."

He could clearly see that the situation was about to get chaotic, and he wanted to seize the opportunity, but the more anxious he became, the more he managed to keep his composure.

The musician's skills, on the surface, are the magic power condensed into sound waves, but in reality it is the use of the soul, but it does not act on the sea of consciousness, but on the mind.

Li Ji'an was not sure whether he had ever practiced any secret techniques related to the soul.

He had used his spiritual sense to peek at it half a year ago, wanting to see its true appearance, but even though his spiritual sense was comparable to that of the late foundation building stage, he still could not see through that thin veil.

However, he couldn't be sure whether it was due to his soul or the veil was a rare treasure that could prevent spiritual consciousness from spying.

"From this perspective, this woman is definitely not a reckless person... then what she said six months ago was probably mostly untrue."

After pondering for a moment, Li Ji'an suddenly understood.

If it is really as he said half a year ago, that he is just like other casual cultivators, jealous of the gains of Biyun Sect and thinking of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, then it is too foolish.

We got to know each other through the past six months of getting along.

Li Ji'an had already seen that she was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, and had a sharp mind.

If such a person was not absolutely sure, why would he be misled by rumors like ordinary casual cultivators?
"Could it be that she knows of an opportunity somewhere that's worth the risk?"

In an instant, Li Ji'an suddenly understood.

Then why are you looking for me?
However, the next moment, his self-awareness prevailed.

In the eyes of outsiders, I am now just as Doctor Bai said, lacking in combat power and in need of protection.

Apart from the fact that he was young and had the hope of forming a pill as Duanmu Qin said, he could not be of much help in finding opportunities and was even a burden.

"Cannon fodder to attract attention?" It seems that this is the only possibility for the time being.

Li Ji'an laughed at himself, looking a little helpless.
-

In the days that followed, as more and more people came to the Immortal City, more and more people visited the core area where Li Ji'an lived.

There are many cultivators in the foundation-building stage asking for elixirs, magic weapons, puppets...

Among them, Hua Mansion, Li Mansion and Gou Mansion are the most popular.

Faced with an excessive number of people seeking elixirs, Li Ji'an had no choice but to use the excuse that his energy was limited and he could only refine ten furnaces at most per month, and let the many people seeking elixirs negotiate the order and quota among themselves.

Not surprisingly, it ended up being a bidding queue.

Originally, when helping people refine pills, if the person requesting the pills provided the medicinal materials themselves, the labor fee would only be 20% of the pill's value. However, in just a few days, those people raised the price to 50%.

There were even a few people who were so eager to get the pills that they took the initiative to bid the cost of a furnace of pills to twice the market price of the pills.

It was a furnace of second-level Flying Soul Pills, which could temporarily enhance spiritual awareness, break through illusions, and prevent one from being affected by magic.

There were originally few such elixirs involving the soul, and the supply to the various chambers of commerce in the Immortal City had been cut off, so they were almost all sold out.

In just three months, Li Ji'an earned more than three years' worth of income, which was even more reasonable, as he had intercepted many rare medicinal herbs with his own skills.

Most of the elixirs refined during this period were useful for exploring ruins, enhancing combat power, and preventing crises.

Three months later, there was still a constant stream of people coming to his house seeking elixirs, and the number of people visiting the Bai Mansion across the street also gradually increased.

More and more people are injured.

More and more people are buying detoxifying pills.

At the same time, under Li Ji'an's spiritual sense, he saw more and more unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Compared to the local family cultivators in Cangyun Province, these people have a common characteristic: they are poor. Half a year passed in a flash.

"Uncle Li, the shielding array has been set up, with two layers inside and outside." Li Ji'an had just sent away two people who came to seek elixirs that day, and Xiao Qiao reported with a rather tired look.

In the past two years, Xiao Qiao has made rapid progress since he started to actually set up the formation.

Just like Li Ji'an made his own elixirs without relying on his own magic power, Xiao Qiao did not need his own magic power to engrave the array patterns when setting up the array. He only needed to bury the array base and the array eye according to the orientation of the array, and the spiritual inspiration of the earth would flow in.

Therefore, his current attainments in formations cannot be measured by his cultivation level at all.

In just a few years, he has been able to skillfully arrange the first-stage late-stage formation, and even apply what he has learned to other situations, no longer needing to rely on the formation diagram to follow the steps.

The shielding array he arranged this time was the result of the superposition of two layers of arrays that he had realized, and its effect was even better than the second-level shielding array arranged by Master Qian.

"That's right, the spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate the initial stage of foundation building! Thank you for your hard work." Li Ji'an tested it a little and gave Xiao Qiao a thumbs up.

His talent in formation is too strong, the only shortcoming is that he doesn't understand what Xiao Qiao's ability to sense the earth is, and whether he can become stronger?

If it cannot become stronger, then the strength of its formation will only remain at the first level.

Xiao Qiao smiled with relief: "Being able to help you is my greatest happiness."

"Silly girl, go and have a good rest. Don't worry about anything else." Li Ji'an nodded at her, put his hand on her shoulder, and transferred some magic power to her to help her recover.

"Ah."

Just at this moment, Doctor Bai summoned everyone to a meeting.

The eight people have met several times in the past year and shared intelligence information in a timely manner.

Only seven people came today.

This is also the reason why Doctor Bai called everyone here.

"Yesterday, someone broke into the Biyun Sect's sealed ruins area and killed a sect disciple. The Biyun Sect was furious."

"Then we discovered parts of a damaged puppet there, and eventually traced the source back to Daoist Fellow Gou."

Doctor Bai spoke briefly and told the news he had heard today when he was asked to treat a sect disciple.

"Is it finally too much to hold back?"

"This battle will probably completely ignite this fire!"

"The Biyun Sect must make an example of someone to scare the monkeys."

……

Several people knew about Master Gou Gui's situation, understood the local situation and the crisis faced by the Biyun Sect, and knew that he would most likely be fine. The only thing was whether the buyer of the puppet he sold could be confirmed.

Otherwise, he may not be able to be free in a short time.

However, for Master Gou Kui, being under house arrest in the sect may not be a bad thing.

"It won't affect other people much. Fellow Daoist Hua, Fellow Daoist Zhou, you need to be more careful when doing business. It's better to be safe than sorry. If the Biyun Sect really gets angry, anything is possible." Doctor Bai advised at last.

"Thank you, Doctor Bai, for reminding me. I saved myself the trouble."

"In addition, five more vicious incidents broke out in the city today. Although they were still just minor Qi training cultivators, the situation is getting increasingly out of control."

"Humph, the Qi family is so timid. Many people have already felt their attitude. The city will only become more chaotic in the future."

"We can't blame the Qi family. After all, their roots aren't here. Besides, many foundation-building cultivators from Tianyuan Province have come to Xiancheng now. I can't guarantee there are any members of the Qi family among them, and we don't want to offend them. In short, we have to rely on ourselves."
-

After returning to the Li Mansion, Li Ji'an did not feel much pressure about the chaos in the Immortal City as described by Doctor Bai. After all, those who were truly powerful had already gone to the Daze Mountains.

Those who are still staying in the Immortal City at this time are either timid and cautious, or lack strength or preparation.

No matter which one, he is not afraid!

Just as he was about to draw another life-saving talisman, the communication talisman vibrated.

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the news.

"Yan Qingwan is coming to the Immortal City, and even going to guard the ruins."

And he was summoned by the sect.

Every foundation-building family in Cangyun Province must produce a foundation-building cultivator, but in the Yan family, the previous generation's ancestor is too old and the new foundation-building cultivator is too young, so Yan Qingwan took the initiative to take on this responsibility.
