Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 170: Pressure from the Outer Sect
Arriving at the front-line garrison, Li Ji'an stopped for a while.

The team leader here was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in the sect. After checking Li Ji'an's badge, he had a good attitude.

After all, those who can patrol here, although not very powerful, must have strong backgrounds.

After Li Ji'an and Yan Qing walked a distance away, they asked, "Brother Qing, where is my aunt?"

Yan Qing felt pressured upon hearing this. In his eyes, Li Ji'an was truly different. He still addressed him as a Foundation Establishment Patriarch, but he did not dare to overstep the line. "In reply to what you have said, Senior, Patriarch Qingwan is on the northern front."

"Front line?" Li Ji'an frowned slightly.

But then he realized that if Yan Qingwan hadn't been on the front line, it would be impossible for the Yan family to stay in such a safe place.

After all, the cultivators from the Cangyunzhou families are controlled by the sect and have little room for bargaining.

"Well, you also have to be careful here." Li Ji'an reminded.

"Yes."

"By the way, is Uncle Zhang okay?" Li Ji'an asked again before leaving.

Calculating the time, among the five people who came to the cultivation world together, the youngest Zhang Tiezhu will be a hundred years old in two years.

"Dad... he's fine in all other respects, except... a few years ago, because I wasn't motivated enough, I failed the foundation-building opportunity that my seniors had fought for for me. So Dad wanted to fight for another foundation-building opportunity for me. He's been a bit extreme these years, and often goes deep into Fallen Dragon Ridge to try his luck." Yan Qing said ashamedly.

Li Ji'an laughed.

Except for him, these five people are actually very enterprising and courageous. Zhang Tiezhu advanced the fastest through his family's military achievements when he was young.

Unfortunately, his path was cut short in the end due to lack of talent.

Now that I am old, I still want to fight for my son.

There was nothing else suitable for him except to try his luck in treasure hunting.

However, with his cultivation level at the middle stage of Qi training, his lifespan is 120 years. With the Qi and Blood Pill that I gave him before, he can probably live for another 10 years or so. I estimate that he can no longer live after the age of 110.

"Uncle Zhang, have you learned the art of Feng Shui? You can't really rely entirely on luck, right?" Li Ji'an asked with a smile.

Yan Qing smiled awkwardly: "Dad had the good fortune to meet Senior Chishi a few years ago and learned a little."

"Huh?" Li Ji'an paused.

"When did Uncle Zhang get to know Chishi Sanren?" Eight years ago, when he saw through Gua Gua's vision that Chishi Sanren and his two companions were captured by the rotten monster that rushed out of Yinsha, Li Ji'an decisively escaped.

Later, he learned that the soul tablets of the two bandits had been shattered, and their bodies and souls had disappeared. After waiting for a few more days, there was still no news from Chishi Sanren, so he thought that he had also died.

"It was one year before we were recruited by the sect." Yan Qing said with certainty.

Li Ji'an was instantly delighted when he heard this.

From the time he started to lay his foundation till now, compared to other sect cultivators like Xiao Changfeng and Jiang Yunzhou, his biggest shortcoming was that the skills he practiced were not good enough. Although he had used high-quality foundation-building pills when he was building his foundation, and had laid a good foundation, his magic power when he first started to build his foundation was stronger than Yan Qingwan and Xiao Changfeng.

However, during subsequent practice, it was gradually discovered that the efficiency of the technique was slow, and the mana refined from it during the Foundation Establishment Period was also weaker.

Even the key trump card skill of talismans is restricted by the lack of magic power.

Therefore, his greatest expectation for his next life is to learn a better martial art.

Now, it is understood that apart from joining a sect, only the martial arts of Chishi Sanren can meet this need in the next life.

"Well, I'll go first." Li Ji'an was in a good mood.

"Congratulations, senior."

After the search was over, this area was temporarily abandoned. Li Ji'an simply ordered Gua Gua to expand the search area, but he himself was unable to leave this area due to patrol restrictions.

As a second-level spirit beast, Guagua has the talent of earth escape. The most important thing is that it has the mutated soul shielding ability and the color-changing and concealing ability. As long as it does not wander into the core ruins and does not get close to the Jindan Zhenren, the probability of being discovered is almost zero.

After a while, Guagua started to have fun in the area outside the ruins.

At first, it was only in the area near the south, and then it began to explore northward little by little.

During this period, he accidentally met the Fake Dan Elder. He approached him little by little, and finally they were ten feet underground without the other party noticing anything. However, ten feet was not the limit, and Li Ji'an did not take any more risks.

After that, Guagua became even more unbridled. Finally, half a month later, through Guagua's vision, Li Ji'an saw Yan Qingwan, a beautiful and ethereal woman.

This is the main passage from Tianyuan Prefecture and Daoyuan Prefecture to Cangyun Prefecture, which is now blocked by the ruins discovered by Biyun Sect.

It is indeed the front-line battlefield.

Guagua hid in a pile of earth in the distance, leaving only his eyes exposed, looking around from afar.

Fortunately, Li Ji'an saw that Yan Qingwan was in good condition.

However, the situation is somewhat tense at the moment.

Just outside the Biyun Sect's magical barrier, there were still many cultivators confronting each other.

On Yan Qingwan's side, half of them were disciples from the sect, and the rest were cultivators from the family.

At the front was a True Dan elder of the sect, followed by the False Dan ancestors of the four major families. Yan Qingwan stood in the fourth row, her position also biased to the side, so as to avoid the fighting in front.

"Three inner disciples of my Lieyang Sect died at the hands of your Biyun Sect. Today, you must give an explanation!" Outside the barrier, the Zhendan elder of the Lieyang Sect had a gloomy expression, and he seemed ready to fight if there was any disagreement.

"That's right! Five inner disciples of my Dongli Sect also died at your hands. If you don't give us an explanation, how are we going to face our disciples in the future?" An elder of the Dongli Sect was also filled with righteous indignation.

Following closely behind, Qingjiang Sect and Liuli Sect also put pressure on Biyun Sect for the same reason.

Among the three states in Tiancang Territory, Cangyun State is isolated in the south due to the Daze Mountains. It is surrounded by the Storm Desert Jedi in the south, the Flame Mountain Jedi in the east, and the Boundless Absolute Spiritual Land in the west, forming the boundaries of an independent state.

To the north of the Daze Mountains is the core state of the Tiancang Territory, Tianyuan State.

There is a fourth-level spiritual vein temple in Tianyuan Prefecture, which gave birth to the Nascent Soul-level force Wanfa Palace, which governs the Tiancang Realm.

Below it are four third-grade top-grade spiritual vein temples, which gave birth to four late-stage Jindan sects and forces, and ruled the four directions.

To the east of Tianyuan Prefecture, there is the adjacent Daoyuan Prefecture.

There are only two third-grade superior spiritual vein dojo in Daoyuan Prefecture, which gave birth to a Sword Sect and a Tianyin Pavilion, two Jindan forces, and several Jindan families with third-grade early spiritual vein dojo.

At this time, in addition to the Wanfa Palace, the four major sects of Tianyuan Prefecture all arrived, and their reasons were exactly the same.

The two sects in Daoyuan Prefecture were relatively silent, simply standing together with the four major sects without seeking excuses.

Li Ji'an, who was in the rear, saw this scene and sighed in his heart. These people were too lazy to find reasons and it was obvious that they were determined to defeat the Biyun Sect.

It seems that the sects in other states are also aware of the intentions of the current leader of the Biyun Sect, and are not worried at all about the possibility of him being destroyed.

First, righteously shouting, threatening, intimidating...

But there will definitely not be a real fight.

If they really take action, how could the Biyun Sect possibly withstand the combined forces of several major sects?
However, other sects also know that the Wanfa Palace will not allow the balance in the Tiancang Realm to be easily disrupted.

If these major sects really join forces, the Wanfa Palace will not be able to sit still.

Ultimately, it is bound to reduce large conflicts to small ones.

Then turn the armed conflict into bargaining at the negotiation table.

……

"Fu Hanxing, the true disciple of the Lieyang Sect, comes to seek instruction!"

Sure enough, not long after, the two sides reached a consensus and let their disciples fight each other.

Seeing this, some young disciples actually thought that the two sides were going to resolve the conflict by fighting each other.

Li Ji'an understood that at this time, the Biyun Sect had already given in and agreed to a fight with their disciples, which was just a way to get out of trouble.

The outcome of the fight between the disciples will not affect the final result. It can be said that this outcome was already determined when the vision of the third-grade magic weapon appeared.

However, the wins and losses between disciples still have some effect on the sect's reputation and bargaining chips.

"Jiang Yunzhou, the true disciple of the Biyun Sect, please teach me!"
