Chapter 21 Falling into a pit

After searching for a long time in the trading market, Li An did not find anyone to sell the body-refining techniques.

This disappointed him, but it was normal, as the body-refining techniques were rare.

He had no choice but to go to the Sutra Library and spend fifteen spirit stones before he got the right to read a few bookshelves.

Every bookshelf in the Sutra Library was sealed. Some bookshelves were filled with core techniques, which could only be exchanged by paying contribution points. Fortunately, Li An did not ask for too much.

The bookshelf in front of him was full of low-grade yellow-level techniques, all of which were worn out.

After searching for a long time, Li An finally found a body-refining technique in a corner - the Copper Skin Technique.

Thanks to the fact that there were fewer people practicing physical fitness, this technique was slightly newer than other books. Li An spent a whole morning reading in the Sutra Library before leaving.

——Li An did not want to expose his Iron Tree Technique, so he must find an ordinary technique to cover it up.

The Copper Skin Technique was good.

Then, he went to the weapon refining hall again, registered at the door, and after waiting for a long time, Wang Dazhu came out.

He was shirtless, with only a gray leather apron tied around his chest. His body looked darker and stronger. Li An found that his blood and qi were more vigorous than those of ordinary people.

Moreover, Wang Dazhu's cultivation level was actually perfect at the fourth level of Qi training.

This cultivation speed is not much slower than Mu Qingwan, who has a yellow-grade middle-grade spiritual root, right?

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the bloodline?"

Li An's heart trembled, mainly because Wang Dazhu's blood and qi now triggered some speculations in him.

Some cultivators have some strange blood flowing in their bodies, but it is difficult to stimulate.

Could it be that Wang Dazhu stimulated some bloodline while forging iron in the weapon refining hall?

This is not impossible.

"The physique is different from that of ordinary people, plus a pure heart of Tao..."

Li An couldn't help but sigh that Wang Dazhu was also a "stupid man with good luck".

The immortal path is difficult, and it is common to scheme and scheme. Most people who can go far on this path are used to intrigue and deception.

But there are a few people who have a pure heart of Taoism and concentrate on cultivation. Such people will make faster progress.

It is hard to say which one is better.

"Brother An, you are here. I have prepared everything you want."

Wang Dazhu took out the storage bag directly from his apron, and in the blink of an eye, a large bag of iron sand appeared in front of Li An.

The storage bag is used... worthy of being a disciple of the Refining Hall.

Li An has not used it yet.

The main reason is that the storage bag is a space magic weapon after all, and it is very valuable. If you exchange it at the exchange place, the lowest level will cost forty spirit stones, which Li An does not need at present.

"Okay, Dazhu, this is the spirit stone, keep it."

Li An untied the bag, took out thirty spirit stones and handed them to Wang Dazhu. "Brother An, these are all scraps from the hall, not recorded in the account. I grind the sand myself, why should I pay for it..."

Wang Dazhu smiled foolishly, but Li An still said: "No, one thing is one thing, I can't let you suffer a loss."

He stuffed the spirit stone to Wang Dazhu, then carried two hundred kilograms of iron sand and left.

...

After leaving the weapon refining hall, he went to the medicine hall again.

Similarly, after the registration was completed, Zhao Xianchuan came out soon.

"Brother Li, I asked the master to prepare the liquid medicine you want."

He handed Li An many bottles and jars.

Li An checked them one by one, and then said: "Thank you, Brother Zhao!"

The liquid medicine only cost fifteen spirit stones.

"By the way, Brother Li,"

Before leaving, Zhao Xianchuan suddenly said, "I got a message that the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range has been reopened, and many people are going there again. It has been closed for four or five years, and many spiritual medicines in it are growing rapidly. Do you want to try it? I will buy the medicinal materials you get at a high price!"

Li An knew this news half a month ago, but he smiled and said, "It's too dangerous. I'd better draw the talisman slowly."

...

After returning to his residence.

Li An poured two hundred kilograms of iron sand into the bathtub!

These iron sands are carefully polished from the scraps of spiritual materials. Each piece of iron sand cannot be too sharp, otherwise Li An's body cannot bear it, and it cannot be too smooth, otherwise it will be useless for body refining.

Li An asked Wang Dazhu for help half a year ago, and he has only collected so many now.

Each piece is carefully polished by Wang Dazhu, so Li An is willing to spend a lot of money and spend thirty spiritual stones to buy these iron sands.

He stripped naked, only wrapped some particularly delicate parts with cloth for simple protection, and then jumped into the wooden barrel!

The cold iron sand, with its rough edges, rubbed against his skin, causing Li An to rub his teeth in pain, and then he hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy according to the Iron Tree Technique.

He "swimmed" in the iron sand, allowing every inch of his skin to be in close contact with the iron sand!

The iron sand was soon dyed red by the blood that had been leached out!

"The life seed has made my recovery ability very strong, and the speed of hemostasis and scab formation is much faster than that of ordinary people!"

Li An was surprised. In this way, his cultivation progress might be faster than he imagined.

Two hours later.

Li An walked out of the iron sand, filled another large wooden barrel with hot water, and then poured in a bottle of blue liquid medicine.

He entered the bathtub to bathe in the liquid medicine.

The thread of pain was like ants biting his skin. Li An hurriedly stopped the operation of the Super Sense Technique, otherwise the pain would be too severe and he would faint directly from the pain!

...

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

In the past six months, the talisman pens that Li An bought at the exchange office and the talisman pens issued by the Futang last year have all been scrapped.

On this day, it was time to hand in the talismans again. Li arranged the team and took out five spirit gathering talismans and five qi replenishing talismans, which were the number of tasks that had to be completed.

Then, he took out six flame talismans.

"Huh?"

Tan Qingxue was counting the talismans handed in this month and looked at him in surprise.

This number means that Li An has become an excellent first-level low-grade talisman master.

However, Li An has been in the Futang for two years, so it is normal to reach this level.

In the past two years, Tan Qingxue has also observed Li An, but Li An's performance was too mediocre, so she gradually didn't take it to heart.

After all, the competition in the Futang was so fierce, how could she have the extra energy to pay attention to a person with mediocre qualifications?

"Six first-level low-quality fine talismans, and thirty additional contribution points." She quickly wrote it down. When she finished registering, Li An did not leave, but said: "Senior Sister Qingxue, I want to... apply for fine talisman pens and fine talisman paper." If you want to draw a first-level medium-quality talisman, you have to use fine-quality talisman pens and talisman paper. But it's too expensive to buy them yourself, you have to spend thirty or forty spirit stones! It hurts! Since he started practicing the Iron Tree Technique, his expenses have been very high. If he buys... he really can't afford it. The main thing is that Li An can't reveal his true level of talisman making, otherwise with his current talisman inventory, if he sells all of them... he can make a lot of money in an instant. "You have just reached the threshold of refining first-level low-quality fine talismans. You are still far from first-level mid-quality ones. It will take at least three years."

Tan Qingxue said: "It is too early to apply now."

There are only seven first-level mid-quality talisman masters in the Fu Hall. In her opinion, Li An is really ambitious to use fine talisman pens now.

"How about this, Senior Sister Tan, I will make up the difference in the price of fine talisman pens. Do you think it's okay?"

"My low-level talisman pens are worth about eight spirit stones every year, and the cheapest fine talisman pens are about thirty spirit stones. I need to make up twenty-two spirit stones..."

Li An took out a pile of spirit stones and counted them. There was also a talisman pen among them. Li An carefully put the talisman pen aside and handed the spirit stone to Tan Qingxue.

Tan Qingxue glanced at the talisman pen in Li An's hand and couldn't help but be surprised.

She was very familiar with this talisman pen... because it belonged to Xu Qiuhui!

It turns out that Senior Sister Xu Qiuhui sold the talisman pen to Li An.

Li An didn't use it until it was scrapped, but cherished it very much...

She suddenly said: "Forget it, for Senior Sister Xu's sake, I'll help you apply for one for free."

Li An was surprised when he heard this. Tan Qingxue was so generous? ?

After all, he showed Xu Qiuhui's talisman pen just to ask Tan Qingxue for some concessions, and didn't really want to take advantage of the Futang.

Although he was confused, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Senior Sister Tan! Thank you!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me,"

Tan Qingxue's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and said: "I'm going to go to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range in a few days. I heard that someone found a second-grade spiritual herb there...Will you accompany me?"

The Spirit Beast Mountain Range is quite dangerous. The disciples of the Futang rarely go out to do tasks, and she lacks experience.

The talisman pen in Li An's hand reminded her of Xu Qiuhui's warning. Li An was a good person and very alert... maybe it would be useful if she took it with her?

Li An was stunned when he heard it.

He thought to himself that Tan Qingxue was not an easy person to deal with...it was really hard to take advantage of her.

He had fallen into a trap!
