Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 158 Making the Deal
Qin Henian was asked to leave by Elder Jia of Biyun Sect, and the scene returned to normal.

However, there are still many elderly people who are curious about Liu Jingchun and watch him from afar, especially some old women.

This genius who was so brilliant two hundred years ago and captured the hearts of countless fairies of the same period seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world of cultivation and was gradually forgotten.

Tailor Zhou looked at Liu Jingchun's aged face from afar and sighed with regret: "Time is merciless. The spring breeze blows young men into old age. Even the most beautiful face will eventually grow old."

Li Ji'an raised his eyebrows, realizing that Liu Jingchun must have been an extremely handsome man when he was young.

However, he is now in his twilight years and growing increasingly old.

Although according to his age, the years he has experienced are similar to those of Li Ji'an.

But Li Ji'an couldn't empathize with him. After all, he had never experienced real aging, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would never really grow old.

Soon, the auction will continue.

After Liu Jingchun's identity was revealed, he was also invited by the attendants to the VIP seats on the same floor as Li Ji'an and his group.

"Master Li Dan, I have no ill intentions. I just had no choice. Please forgive me." As soon as he sat down, he sent a message to Li Ji'an.

Li Ji'an stood up and bowed to him.

Combining all the fragmented information, he speculated that the tribe that ambushed the Immortal Master Jie Yin back then was most likely related to this person. He even had a hunch that this person might be the key to solving the blood slave issue.

Seeing Li Ji'an like this, Liu Jingchun nodded slightly and then walked straight over.

Seeing his childhood idol approaching, Tailor Zhou's breathing stopped and he immediately glared at Master Qian Zhen.

Master Qian Zhen stood up unwillingly but helplessly: "Senior, please take a seat."

"Thank you, young friend." Liu Jingchun nodded and sat between Li Ji'an and Tailor Zhou.

"Greetings, senior." Li Ji'an greeted formally.

"No need to be so polite." Liu Jingchun nodded, then said frankly:

"Master Li, I would like to ask you to show me some mercy. If possible, I would also like you to help me refine the elixir. I will only take two, and the rest will be considered as your reward. What do you think?"

A set of second-level longevity pills can only produce five pills. Considering Li Ji'an's reputation in alchemy, it is not a problem to guarantee three pills. He is sincere.

"Okay." Li Ji'an agreed without much hesitation. If he didn't pursue quality, he was confident that he could make four pills.

However, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that he is likely to have an antagonistic relationship with the ancestor of the Liu family.

In addition, Liu Jingchun's performance at this moment.

He had just been humiliated in public by Qin Henian, but now he was calm and collected, wiping away the humiliation.

Even when people criticize his past glory and compare it with his current decline, he can still remain calm and composed.

He was still able to put aside his pride and ask for help from a junior in public.

Li Ji'an admired his outstanding character and true mind.

"Thank you, Master Li Dan."

Then, Liu Jingchun bought the Zhu Yu Fruit for 3,100 spirit stones.

However, he did not even touch the Zhu Yu Fruit. After paying the spirit stones, he asked the maid to hand it directly to Li Ji'an, and also handed over the auxiliary materials that had been prepared long ago.

It was agreed that the goods would be delivered in three days, and then he left the auction.

He left in a very free and easy manner, and it was obvious that the purpose of this auction was to get the longevity elixir.

Soon the auction became lively again due to the appearance of items, and the previous episode was forgotten.

"Congratulations to Master Li Dan for winning the super exquisite magical weapon, the Glazed Mirror!"

"Congratulations to Master Li Dan for winning the Millennium Ice Silkworm Robe!"

"Congratulations to Master Li Dan for winning the second-level Blood Swallow Flower..."

……

Li Ji'an had almost no more concerns. He actively bid for anything that would benefit him, acquiring all of them. He spent nearly 20,000 spirit stones in total, almost completely consuming the profits that outsiders believed he had made in recent years.

In addition to two rare and super-fine protective magic weapons, there are also several second-level spiritual medicines, including the main medicine for the foundation-building mid-stage breakthrough pill.

What surprised him most was that a top-grade flying boat appeared during this period.

Flying magic tools are rarer than combat magic tools. After all, flying magic tools have a single function, and cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can control the divine rainbow and magic tools to fly long distances. The market for top-quality flying boats that are too expensive is very small.

Li Ji'an, however, had a need for this. The world of cultivation was vast and sparsely populated. The more time he spent on the road each time he went out, the more uncertainties there would be. Being able to exchange spirit stones for safety, even if it was just a little bit, was worth it.

The mid-grade flying boat that Yan Qingwan used back then took four months to reach the Immortal City.

The high-quality flying boat he had bought previously would take nearly three months to return to the wilderness.

But now with the top-grade flying boat, it only takes one month.

Overall, the Biyun Sect did give them a little benefit this time, and the resources they provided showed some sincerity.

However, among the items auctioned this time, there are not many resources that can improve combat effectiveness. Most of them are mainly auxiliary, and defensive magic weapons are the limit.

There was also no second-level mid-stage talisman material that he wanted most.

Li Ji'an's heroic act not only earned him the envy and admiration of the cultivators present, but also attracted the attention of the elders of Biyun Sect who were in charge of the auction.

Li Ji'an played an indispensable role in ensuring that this auction exceeded expectations.

On the way back, everyone looked at Li Ji'an with different eyes.

Master Zou Dan's face was filled with frustration. He had originally wanted to attract the attention of the elders of Biyun Sect by strongly supporting the auction, but in the end his financial resources were no match for Li Ji'an, and he ended up becoming a supporting role to Li Ji'an.

Back at the Li Mansion, Li Ji'an handed the piece of cold marrow he had auctioned to Xiao Qiao. "Wear this close to your body. It will calm your mind and stabilize your spirit. It should also be helpful in setting up your formation and sensing the earth's spiritual power."

"Hmm? Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with you?"

When I handed it over, I realized that Xiao Qiao was a little absent-minded.

During the auction, Xiao Qiao was always with Duanmu Qin, and Li Ji'an didn't pay much attention to her.

Only then did I discover the problem.

"Ah, Uncle Li, I... I just suddenly felt a panic, a... very strange feeling." Xiao Qiao suddenly came back to his senses and said uncertainly.

"A very strange feeling? Panic? Was it when that Master Qin appeared?" Li Ji'an thought for a moment and asked.

Qin Henian's fake Dan majesty and his wanton release of energy without caring about others can indeed easily cause great pressure to the minor Qigong practitioners, and even those with weak wills may suffer some mental trauma.

"It seems... it started at that time." Xiao Qiao was still a little absent-minded.

Li Ji'an exhaled slowly, put his hand on Xiao Qiao's brow, and channeled his magic power into her to help her stabilize her sea of consciousness.

Although it is not clear what exactly happened between Qin Henian and Liu Jingchun, we can probably guess some clues. Given his current status, he can still be so out of control and angry. He must have been deeply hurt.

However, compared to Liu Jingchun, Qin Henian's character is indeed much worse.

After stabilizing Xiao Qiao's sea of consciousness, Li Ji'an fed her a nourishing pill and sent her back to her room to rest.

Then he returned to the alchemy room to sort out what he had gained today.

Two super-fine magic weapons, one is a glass mirror, which has the effect of counterattacking and can also be used as a heart-protecting mirror to protect against the full-strength attack of an ordinary mid-stage foundation-building cultivator.

The other item is a dragon-patterned forehead guard, which is a magical tool for protecting against spiritual attacks and also has a certain effect in preventing others from spying on you with their spiritual consciousness.

The reason why both items are known as super-fine products rather than top-quality products is that they come from ruins and have been eroded by time, resulting in some degradation of their power.

These two magical instruments can now be regarded as Li Ji'an's obvious support.

At least it is almost impossible to take him down quickly in the middle stage of foundation building.

Perhaps if the Bloody Hand Butcher had known that he had this treasure, he might not have targeted him.

The other spiritual medicines are all medicinal materials that help with cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as well as the main ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Stage Breakthrough Pill. There is nothing much to say about them, but one of them, a second-level blood swallow flower, is the spiritual medicine that Li Ji'an cares about the most this time.

This medicine is both the main ingredient of a second-level elixir and a third-level poison recipe that can be a threat to fake elixir masters.
