Chapter 26: Standing on the Wrong Team
Mu Qingwan suddenly arrived, and Li An and the other two were a little surprised, especially Zhao Xianchuan, who lowered his head and was very embarrassed.
"Qingwan, what do you want to talk to us about?"
Wang Dazhu broke the awkwardness and asked.
"It's like this, I will hold a ceremony for marriage at the end of next month... I hope you can come."
Mu Qingwan's face was full of the expectation of a girl's wedding. She took out three invitations from the storage bag and handed them to the three people.
"Li An, I heard that you were injured in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range recently. Are you okay?"
She asked with concern.
Li An took the invitation and said, "I have recovered. Thank you for your concern, Brother Mu."
Mu Qingwan's eyes were slightly complicated. When she first entered, she actually had a little affection for Li An, but six years later, she and Li An were no longer from the same world, and those unbudded feelings had disappeared.
"Mr. Xianchuan... Can you come too?"
She spoke to Zhao Xianchuan. Zhao Xianchuan blushed and had to lower her head to accept the invitation: "Okay." She seemed to want to talk to Li An and others, but Chen Cheng had already reminded her: "Qingwan, we still have to visit Elder Wang." The implication was that she couldn't waste too much time with Li An and others. Mu Qingwan immediately said goodbye and left. Looking at her back, Li An thought about it, but shook his head and said nothing. "Brother An, don't think about it. She will be someone else's wife in the future..." Wang Dazhu was a little concerned: "Don't be like Zhao Xianchuan, and get into trouble again..." After saying that, he immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said: "Xianchuan, I didn't mean it..." Zhao Xianchuan: "..." "Dazhu is right, she and we are indeed not from the same world. After marrying Chen Cheng, she will have a backer in the inner gate." Zhao Xianchuan couldn't help but sigh. Li An just smiled. Just now, when Mu Qingwan handed over the invitation, he noticed the bracelet on Mu Qingwan's white wrist.
That bracelet... looks like the "body-protecting bracelet" used by the magic cultivators to nourish the furnace.
If you really want to choose a furnace from the outer disciples, then Mu Qingwan is indeed the most suitable, with the highest level of spiritual roots...
The world of immortal cultivation is not clear-cut. The methods of the magic cultivators are also used by the righteous cultivators, and they may even be more vicious. This is not a rare thing.
Unfortunately, Mu Qingwan is still indulging in the happiness of her newlyweds...
Li An said nothing. He didn't care about Mu Qingwan's fate.
...
After the party, Li An bought 100 kilograms of silver sand from Wang Dazhu, spending 20 spirit stones.
He also spent five spirit stones to buy liquid medicine from Zhao Xianchuan, which was mainly offset by his large amount of miscellaneous spirit herbs.
...
Back to the Futang, Li An began to practice intensively.
The cultivation of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art cannot be rushed. His goal is the next stage of the Iron Tree Art - training the flesh!
After the iron skin is refined, the spells of the cultivators in the early stage of Qi training and the first-level low-grade attacking talismans are almost difficult to hurt Li An.
In the flesh training stage, once the "silver flesh" is refined, Li An can withstand the attacks of the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training!
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
"Too little silver sand..."
Li An frowned.
One hundred kilograms of silver sand has been completely used up. At present, only the flesh on his right hand barely meets the "silver flesh" standard!
The loss in the flesh training stage is greater than that in the skin training stage.
...
During the period of his cultivation, Mu Qingwan and Chen Cheng's ceremony was held as scheduled. Li An only asked someone to bring a gift and did not go.
At the same time, in three months, some subtle changes have also occurred in the talisman hall.
Li An noticed that since Tan Qingxue failed in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, Cao Zhirou and Jiang You have been getting close to Sun Lin recently.
In the competition with Sun Lin, Tan Qingxue was already behind, and now he suffered a great defeat. It is normal for his confidants to be separated.
Li An was also weighing whether to join Sun Lin.
If he joined, he would definitely offend Xu Qiuhui from the inner sect, but if he didn't go, his life in Futang would be difficult in the future.
Just as he was hesitating, the door was slammed roughly.
Li An got up and opened the door. The person who came was Feng Xi.
"Brother Feng, why are you here?" Li An said.
Feng Xi sneered, "Why, I can't come?"
He walked into Li An's room casually, "Why, after so many years, you still live in such a shabby place, and now you still want to follow Tan Qingxue?"
Li An heard the hidden meaning and couldn't help saying, "Please give me some advice, Brother Feng Xi."
Feng Xi smiled, this kid is much more sensible, and immediately said:
"Do you have spiritual stones? Give me a hundred first, I will help you talk to Brother Sun Lin."
"In addition, if you succeed, I will take half of your monthly allowance in the future."
Li An's mouth twitched when he heard this. He was called Li Baopi, but he didn't take it so hard.
"Brother Feng, can I buy on credit? I was injured some time ago and owed a large debt... How about buying on credit for half a year?"
Li An spoke nervously.
"Get lost!"
Feng Xi's face suddenly changed, he stood up and walked out the door:
"Boy, this is your own choice!"
After he left, Li An frowned even deeper.
It's not that he is unwilling to surrender to Sun Lin.
But he can't go through Feng Xi!
If he pays 100 yuan, Feng Xi may take 50 spiritual stones from it, and he can't escape exploitation in the future.
If he really surrenders, he has to find it himself and communicate with Sun Lin himself.
"No matter what, let's attack the fourth level of Qi Refining first. Even if we have to negotiate with Sun Lin, the fourth level of Qi Refining will be more valuable!"
After handing in the amount of talismans for next month in advance, he began to retreat to attack the fourth level of Qi Refining!
...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"Failed..."
Li An walked out of his residence with a complicated look on his face.
Sure enough, the disadvantage of spiritual roots finally revealed.
In the early stage of Qi Refining, he had been relatively smooth, but the small threshold from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Qi Refining made him feel very strenuous.
The sensitivity of his spiritual roots was too low.
Even if he had completed the third level of Qi Refining, it would probably take many years to successfully enter the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"Li An, gather in the hall immediately!"
At this moment, a disciple notified.
Li An hurriedly trotted into the hall, where many disciples had already stood.
In front of the hall, an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a black robe, was the hall master Guo Xiao.
He said:
"One year and nine months, Sun Lin, successfully completed the task of the Fu Hall!"
"From today on, Sun Lin has obtained the second-level talisman inheritance of the Fu Hall!"
As soon as these words came out, the Fu Hall burst into long-lasting applause.
Li An was a little stunned. How did Sun Lin do it?
According to his speculation, it would take at least four or five years for Sun Lin to get 10,000 contribution points.
This guy must have come from somewhere else.
Li An couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He wasted time in seclusion for a month. If he wanted to go to Sun Lin again, it would be too late...
"In addition, the leader Li in Qingyang Market is old, and the sect has agreed to let him return to the sect for recuperation. Qingyang Market urgently needs a capable disciple to take charge."
Guo Xiao continued, his eyes fell on the girl in the crowd:
"Qingxue, you go out and gain experience--"
Tan Qingxue's face was extremely ugly, and tears welled up in her eyes!
Failure in the competition for the inheritance of the second-level talisman means that she is also out of the competition for the next hall master.
For the losers, they are usually sent to the outside market to be responsible for the outside business, and they will be away from the core of the Futang from then on.
"Sun Lin, your junior sister Qingxue is less experienced, you can help her pick a few Futang disciples to go together."
Guo Xiao briefly explained a few words, then turned and left. The crowd dispersed immediately, and everyone rushed to Sun Lin's side, flattering and congratulating him, needless to say.
"Junior sister Tan, Qingyang Market is also an important place for the sect. Fu Tang has a store there, which is very profitable..."
Sun Lin pretended to comfort her, but there was a sneer in his eyes.
"No need for you to be hypocritical!"
Tan Qingxue bit her lower lip and said, "I'll take Cao Zhirou and Jiang You there."
She had already had a premonition of this ending, so although she felt uncomfortable... she could only accept it.
Sun Lin shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the two of them told me that they want to stay in the sect..."
"How about this, Li An will accompany you, how about it?"
Tan Qingxue's face became even uglier.
Today, Cao Zhirou and Jiang You did not come to the assembly in the hall on the pretext of something, it turned out that they did not dare to see her...
She couldn't help but smile miserably!
The old feelings of the past could not beat the interests of reality after all...
She turned her head and looked at Li An beside her, saying: "Are you willing to go with me?"
Li An sighed lightly, was silent for a moment, and nodded.
