Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 188 The Liu Family Arrives
Li Ji'an stroked the Biyun Sect jade token on the way back to the Immortal City, full of expectations for the future.

This time, as a guest alchemist of the Biyun Sect, according to the contract, he only needs to produce thirty second-level early-stage pills or twenty second-level mid-stage pills every month. If the quality exceeds the top grade, the quantity requirement can be reduced.

With his alchemy skills, opening the furnace four or five times a month is enough.

The reward that Biyun Sect gave him, in addition to the independent outer peak training ground of the second-level medium grade, was also the corresponding contribution points for alchemy. The contribution points were the same as those earned by disciples in the sect from completing tasks and could be exchanged for public resources.

Calculated based on the minimum contribution required, it is roughly equivalent to resources that can be exchanged for nearly 600 spirit stones per month, and some resources cannot be bought with spirit stones in the fairy city, so the remuneration is considered generous.

More importantly, the medicinal materials provided by the sect were formulated according to the success rate of senior alchemists of the same level. With his alchemy skills, he could reasonably retain at least 30% of the medicinal materials.

This part is the big part.

Even if calculated based on the most basic elixir, the estimated amount of medicinal materials that can be intercepted each month is nearly a thousand.

In addition, as long as he meets the sect's requirements, there will be no restrictions on his private business in principle, but he has no plans to do so for the time being.

Of course, the main reason why Li Ji'an was willing to be a guest official was that he could enjoy the sect's spiritual veins and Taoist temple, and was eligible to exchange some resources, and he would not be forced to assume the responsibilities and obligations of a sect disciple.

"Master Li Dan, you are finally back. The noble Liu family has been waiting for a long time." He was in a good mood all the way, but just as he returned to the gate of the courtyard, a familiar guard hurriedly reminded him.

"Thank you!" Li Ji'an gazed slightly, nodded to the guard with a smile, and strode in.

His first connection with the Liu family in this life was that he helped Liu Jingchun refine the longevity elixir when the sect recruited him.

Apart from that, there was no interaction.

It is said that the alchemists in the Liu family have superb alchemy skills, no worse than the sect's deacon's alchemist.

"What do you want from me?" Li Ji'an returned to the Li Mansion while thinking.

At the gate of Li's mansion, he saw two people waiting outside, both wearing Liu family clothes.

The leader was in the middle stage of foundation building. He was the elder of the Liu family who stopped Liu Jingchun and Qin Henian from confronting each other half a year ago when he was hiding from Gua Gua. He saw at that time that his talent in formation was quite extraordinary.

"Excuse me, are you Master Li Dan?" The other person had a pair of triangular eyes, and his gaze gave people a sense of oppression.

"What do you two want to see me about?" Li Ji'an asked.

"My name is Liu Changgeng, the second elder of the Liu family. I have an important matter to discuss with Master Li Dan." The man with triangular eyes spoke calmly, but there was a kind of contempt that could not be refused.

"Negotiate?" Li Ji'an's face showed confusion.

"Why don't we go inside and talk in detail?" Liu Changgeng glanced at Li's house.

Li Ji'an smiled and shook his head: "No need. If you have anything to say, please speak here. I have something important to attend to today."

Liu Changgeng was visibly stunned for a moment, his triangular eyes becoming even more sinister. "Is this how Master Li Dan treats guests?"

"I'm sorry, I have something to do today and it's not appropriate to entertain guests. Maybe you can come another day." Li Ji'an remained calm and composed.

He will go to Biyun Sect another day.

"Okay, okay, in that case, I'll say it here."

"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Li, do you know a formation master named You?" Liu Changgeng's eyes flashed, and he was obviously performing some kind of qi-gazing technique.

Li Ji'an nodded. This kind of thing was out in the open, and there was no point in denying it.

However, he suddenly reacted.

In addition to Liu Jingchun, the other person he had connections with the Liu family was Grandma You.

Of course, Liu Xiangshan is also one of them, but no one probably knows about it.

"Okay, Master Li Dan is honest enough, then it's easy." Liu Changgeng smiled proudly.

"Master Li, please return the Liu family's inherited formation technique to me!"

"Huh?" Li Ji'an was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't thought of this. Liu Changgeng stared straight at Li Ji'an.

They also discovered a set of formations similar to their Liu family's inherited formations near the ruins during the sect's last recruitment, and eventually found an elder named Jiadan who had a close relationship with the Liu family to ask about it.

Only then did I know about You Qingci.

However, You Qingci died unexpectedly while helping the sect break the ban.

However, according to the words of the fake Dan elder, they learned that when You Qingci was taken away by the sect, he entrusted Li Ji'an to take care of an orphan and gave Li Ji'an a storage bag.

"I'm afraid you have misunderstood, fellow Daoist. How could I, a mere alchemist, inherit the formation technique of your Liu family?" Li Ji'an came to his senses and denied it outright.

You can never admit to such a thing, even if you exchange the inheritance jade talisman, the other party will definitely suspect that you have learned it or copied it, and it is hard to explain.

"Hmph! Master Li Dan, are you still trying to quibble?" Liu Changgeng, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, suddenly released his pressure.

Unfortunately, Li Ji'an was wearing a wooden bracelet and a forehead protector, so he was not under any pressure from the pressure.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't slander me."

Seeing that Li Ji'an was not affected by his pressure at all, Liu Changgeng was slightly surprised and even more angry: "Yes or no, do you dare to let me into the mansion to investigate?"

This brings us to Li Ji'an's weak spot. In the mansion, there are indeed two sets of superimposed shielding formations set up by Xiao Qiao who practiced the formation inheritance of Grandma You.

But it can't withstand the other party's investigation.

More importantly, in the Abyss Cave, through Liu Xiangshan's words, he roughly guessed that Xiao Qiao might be Liu Jingchun's granddaughter.

This means he cannot be allowed to see Xiao Qiao.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, you are going too far!" Li Ji'an's face darkened. It wasn't that he was really angry, but it was just a necessary gesture. It was also a way to send a message to the guards outside the courtyard that someone was causing trouble here.

"Hahaha, is there any need for my Liu family to bully a casual cultivator like you?" Liu Changgeng sneered.

Li Ji'an refused to give in.

Soon, the guards outside the courtyard hurried over.

The new manager of Xiancheng looked embarrassed after seeing the identity of the other party, the elder of the Liu family.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Besides, he received orders from his clan to concentrate on making money as quickly as possible. After all, the right to use the fairy city only lasts for more than 70 years.

Therefore, he could not offend the five major family forces in Cangyun Province at any cost.

As for the alchemist of Jiyuan, he didn't care too much, because in the past six months, several second-level alchemists had come from Tianyuanzhou and Daoyuanzhou, and they were not necessarily inferior to Master Li.

"Master Li Dan, since Fellow Daoist Liu has such doubts, why don't you let him investigate without worry? This will also prove your innocence!"

Li Ji'an's face suddenly darkened. "How can this be justified? If he can search my residence today without any evidence, then tomorrow he can kill me with no evidence at all."

Everyone understands this principle, not to mention that their status in the Immortal City is already superior. Once this precedent is set, face will be a small matter, and won't others follow suit?

The new steward was clearly biased towards Liu Changgeng.

"Hmph! You are just a casual cultivator. Do you really think that my Liu family dare not kill you?" Liu Changgeng lost his patience. His triangular eyes suddenly condensed, and murderous aura filled the air. At the same time, a spiritual pressure was directed towards Li Ji'an.

"Kill me? Fellow Daoist Liu is being a bit lawless."

Li Ji'an sighed deeply, took out the Biyun Sect's identity jade token from his arms, and activated it with his magic power.

Boom~
An extremely powerful pressure instantly erupted from Li Ji'an, covering the entire courtyard.

The group of people before him, all below the foundation building stage, were losing their minds and trembling.

Liu Changgeng's followers were given special attention. The moment they felt the pressure, they crawled on the ground with their faces covered in dirt.

The new steward and Liu Changgeng's expressions also changed instantly, filled with fear...
