Chapter 57 The Wandering Taoist
"set off!"

At the command of the Seventh Elder, a group of people marched out of the market and headed towards the Yan family's territory in the southeast.

"Old Li, how are you? We're going to our Yan family's land soon. Are you excited?"

"It must be said that Old Li is one of the best servants in the market. He was able to sneak into our Yan family as a servant. This is really lucky."

……

At the front of the team was the seventh elder Yan Hongsheng, with a one-horned spirit beast the size of a buffalo under his crotch. Li Ji'an didn't recognize it, but he could sense the magical aura emanating from it.

It must not be an ordinary spirit horse that focuses on hurrying on its way.

After that came three brocade carriages with magical horses. Yan Qingwan was in the first one, Master Mo Dan was in the second one, and the third one was filled with medicinal materials and pills for the alchemy shop. It took fifteen primary storage bags to barely hold them all.

Surrounding the spiritual horse and brocade carriage were the clansmen who came with Yan Hongsheng to protect him.

As for the original employees of the Danpu, including the manager Yan Tong, they were all at the end of the team, sitting on two large carts.

Li Ji'an ignored the jealous guys and quietly sensed with his spiritual awareness without leaving any trace.

Except for Yan Hongsheng, who is publicly recognized as a peak cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training, the other ten people are all in the middle stage of Qi training, and are all the backbone of the clan with Qi training levels above the fifth level.

Based on Li Ji'an's four years of experience in the market, this force is considered a high-end combat force in this area.

This shows how much importance the Yan family attaches to Master Mo Dan.

"Old Li, you can close your eyes and take a rest. We will reach the clan territory in two hours at most." Yan Tong took the initiative to talk with a very kind attitude.

Today, when I learned that Chen Qingling's brother was actually a half-step late physical cultivator, I was really scared.

He is nominally a member of the Yan family, and the other party dare not openly slap the Yan family in the face. However, if they do something dirty, even if the Yan family eventually finds some clues, they may not turn against him for him.

So at this moment, I feel grateful to Li Ji'an from the bottom of my heart.

"Thank you, Manager. I'm not feeling sleepy at all." Li Ji'an nodded with a smile.

"Since you are not sleepy, why don't I tell you some rules of the tribe? Otherwise, if you accidentally break the rules, you will regret it." This was Yan Tong's original intention.

It can be regarded as reciprocating love.

"Thank you very much!" Li Ji'an accepted his kindness.

In fact, during the three years that he and Yan Qingwan spent together in private, he also had a general understanding of the Yan family.

The clan was established less than five hundred years ago. The ancestor was also a helpless cultivator. He seized the trend of land reclamation and took his sons to risk their lives to build a Taoist temple here for future generations.

After that, it took three generations of hard work to cultivate a foundation-building ancestor, and finally the Yan family, one of the eight major families today, came into being!
Moreover, the Yan family now has a strong family cohesion and a pioneering spirit, and there are rarely any family infighting.

However, as Yan Tong began to explain in detail, Li Ji'an discovered that the information he learned from Yan Qingwan was quite different from what Yan Tong had said.

The reason is very simple: different identities, different heights, and different perspectives.

What Yan Qingwan learned was mostly about some information and situations of the middle and upper levels, while what Yan Tong talked about here was mostly about the cultivation status of the lower levels of the clan.

"Old Li, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not?" After talking about the situation at the bottom of the clan, Yan Tong suddenly lowered his voice.

Seeing Yan Tong's behavior, Li Ji'an was slightly startled and subconsciously glanced at the people in front of him.

Then he looked at Yan Tong with some helplessness.

The ones in front of you are all big guys in the middle and late stages of Qi training, with strong spiritual awareness. What's the point of you lowering your voice?

But it's not his fault. Yan Tong is in the early stage of Qi training, his spiritual awareness is weak, and he can't transmit sound through his spiritual awareness.

"Please let me know clearly, Steward."

"Well, that's right. After you went to the clan today, your life trajectory has completely changed. You can forget everything in the past. However, your spiritual roots are too weak and you are too old. Whether for the sake of family identity or future potential, it is impossible for you to be trained. Moreover, I don't recommend that you think about it anymore.

People, sometimes you have to accept your fate, you can't fail to recognize yourself, and you can't be too ambitious.

We have to accept that this life is over. Instead of struggling and getting hurt, it is better to recognize the situation early and create conditions for the next generation.

My suggestion is that once you join the clan, you can start looking for wives and concubines for yourself and prepare for the continuation of the family line.

Only once you marry a woman from the clan can you truly stay in the Yan family."

Li Ji'an nodded slowly and clasped his fists in a salute: "Thank you for your guidance, Steward."

Li Ji'an understood that Yan Tong's teachings were truly for his own good, because according to his understanding, Yan Tong himself had done the same.

However, whether it was Zhang Tiezhu's advice to fight and take risks, or Yan Tong's advice to face reality, seek stability, and plan for the long term, neither could be said to be wrong, but neither was suitable for him.

At the same time, Yan Hongsheng, who was at the front, had a smile on his face, and was very satisfied with the teachings that Yan Tong passed on to Li Ji'an.

After three years of refining pills, the top management of the Yan family had naturally heard Yan Qingwan talk about Li Ji'an, and had long agreed to Yan Qingwan's request. No matter what, they would eventually allow Li Ji'an to live out his retirement in the Yan family.

Yan Qingwan also heard what Yan Tong said clearly and nodded with satisfaction.

After three years of getting along, she had a good impression of Li Ji'an, and could even say that she had some affection for him.

Putting aside his potential and strength in cultivation, his mind is as calm as water, his behavior is mature and steady, his speech is frank and occasionally humorous, and most importantly, his eyes are very pure.

Of course, he was very serious and attentive in assisting her in refining the elixir.

Sometimes she even felt that Master Mo Dan was not as good as Li Ji'an in his guidance.

The only pity is that he is a little old and has almost no potential and strength, otherwise, she would have thought about introducing her cousin to him.

Now Yan Tong's suggestion has given her a new plan. If Li Ji'an has a child in the future, she is willing to provide extra support to fulfill her promise to Li Ji'an.

"Ok?"

Li Ji'an, who had just thanked Yan Tong for his teachings, suddenly sensed a faint breath.

Three years ago, after Yan Qingwan taught him the method of refining spiritual consciousness, he felt that his spiritual consciousness at the first level of Qi training was several times stronger than Yan Qingwan's spiritual consciousness at the sixth level of Qi training.

Now, after another three years of Qi training, his understanding of spiritual consciousness has become clearer, and he clearly knows that his spiritual consciousness has almost reached the peak of the Qi training stage.

He estimated that if he could "rejuvenate" next time, perhaps his spirit soul could be condensed to achieve spiritual consciousness. In that case, the safety of childhood would be greatly increased!
"Old Li, what's wrong?" Yan Tong saw that Li Ji'an's face became serious and asked immediately.

Li Ji'an was a little worried: "Will the Wei family kill Master Mo Dan along the way?"

"Hahaha, Old Li, you don't understand our Seventh Elder. He is hoping that the other party will come and die." Yan Tong laughed.

"Oh?"

"The Seventh Elder is our clan's strongest fighter after our ancestor, and he's the biggest headache for the other seven major clans. He's been known for his bravery and fighting since he was young, helping the weak and suppressing the strong. He was nicknamed the "Wandering Taoist" by the outside world early on."

"Do you know why it's Taoist Polang? He is the one who can create three-foot waves even without wind!" Yan Tong explained with a smile.

however,
"Buzz~" As soon as Yan Tonghua finished her voice, a buzzing sound was heard in the sky.

"Enemy attack!" Someone in front immediately warned.

"Hmph! Just in time." Yan Hongsheng didn't get angry but laughed instead. He slapped his storage bag and a purple-gold Xuantian Hammer shot up into the sky.

The next moment, a golden light flashed and instantly turned into a huge net hundreds of feet long, covering the area below.

"What a trivial trick! Why don't you show up!" Yan Hongsheng shouted, performed the Fire Dragon Escape and turned into a beam of fire. He calmly avoided the descending golden light shield and shouted towards the distance.

At the same time, a halo of light suddenly emanated from the horn of the spirit beast under his crotch, covering the three chariots.
The other cultivators immediately surrounded Master Mo Dan and Yan Qingwan's brocade carriage and provided them with intensive protection.

"Yan Hongsheng, you've fallen into the trap!"

 I wish all my book friends a happy New Year, good health in the new year, happiness for your family, and a prosperous 2025!
