Chapter 36 Gu Hong

Tall figure, snow-white thighs, long black hair, delicate facial features, and a beauty mole on the forehead...

The woman in the ring lay quietly like a virgin, in a coma, without a single piece of clothing on her body.

In the ring, there was even a jade bed prepared for her, with a simple spirit gathering array on the bed, and many spirit stones piled beside it, gathering spiritual energy to nourish this woman.

Could it be the female cultivator who sought to buy the second-grade fire spirit fruit during the transaction that day?

But Li An quickly recognized that it was not her. First, this woman was taller and bigger than the female alchemist that day, and this detail could not be hidden from Li An, who had many wives and concubines in his previous life.

Second, this spirit gathering array had obviously been set up for several years!

In other words, this woman should have been imprisoned in this ring for many years.

"It's actually a yellow-level middle-grade water spirit root, no wonder!"

Li An took a closer look and understood instantly.

This woman is the furnace of the demon cultivator!

Besides, there was already some Yin-Yang demonic energy in the woman's body... Obviously, she had been dual-cultivated with the demon cultivator many times.

Li An hesitated in his heart, how should he deal with this woman?

If he ignored it and threw away the ring directly, then when the spirit stones in the ring were exhausted, the ring would collapse and the woman would die inside.

This seemed to be the best.

After all, if Li An saved her, there would be more risks, and one more person in the world would know that it was Li An who killed the demon cultivator!

Finally, Li An put away the ring and didn't care about it for the time being.

He planned to collect information tomorrow to see if he could confirm the identity of this woman.

After all, a yellow-level middle-grade cultivator is also an elite and genius in the sect, and he is definitely not an unknown person.

"It seems that the demon cultivator is very strong, he should be a confidant of the Soul-demanding Horse-faced..."

Otherwise, he would not be taught the Xuan-level skills, let alone get the yellow-level middle-grade furnace.

It was a pity that Li An didn't even know the opponent's Qi Refining level...

Killed too quickly.

The demon cultivator didn't even have a chance to attack, and died.

...

The next day.

Li An temporarily closed the shop and went out for a walk.

Everyone who saw him greeted him warmly.

In just one day, Li An's name spread throughout the market. After all, this story was too dramatic. The greed of a talisman master destroyed the plot of a demon cultivator and saved a market...

"Black-hearted talisman master" and "demon nemesis" and other names spread like wildfire.

Although these reputations were not good, Li An was quite relieved.

It was best to become a public joke, harmless.

As for business, it will definitely be affected in the short term. People who come to the talisman shop to buy talismans may be more cautious to avoid buying fake talismans... But it doesn't matter. The money Li An made in this wave may not be earned by selling talismans for ten years.

Li An appeared in the middle of the street of Fangshi, around a square, where there were a lot of information posted, some looking for certain items, some selling certain special materials... and there were also bounty notices for arresting people!

Li An specifically picked out the ones about the demon cultivators.

There was a lot of information, especially the bounty for the life-demanding horse-faced demon, which was very generous, up to thousands of spirit stones.

In addition, there were some other ruthless and vicious people in the demon world, with a lot of bad deeds.

Finally, Li An's eyes were fixed on a somewhat yellowed bounty notice!

The publisher, a second-grade alchemist, a cultivator in the foundation-building period - Gu Songxi. Reward content:

"My beloved disciple Gu Hong, a first-class alchemist, was captured by a demon cultivator in Liuyang River Market three months ago and his whereabouts are unknown. Now the reward is as follows. If you can provide clues about my disciple, I will reward you with one thousand spirit stones. If you can rescue my disciple, I am willing to do anything within my ability for him."

Below the reward announcement, there is also a portrait of Gu Hong. Although the portrait has yellowed and is no longer clear due to age, the beauty mole between the eyebrows... Li An remembered it.

He remembered that before leaving Xuanyang Sect, Xu Qiuhui had just asked him and Tan Qingxue to meet. At that time, Xu Qiuhui mentioned that a disciple of an alchemist was captured outside Liuyang River Market...

It seems that it was Gu Hong!

After reading the other announcements as if nothing had happened, Li An left.

"Master Li Fu, don't be afraid. It's safe in the market!"

"Yes, although the demon cultivator has offered a reward for you, we will be the first to disagree if anyone dares to touch you!"

Many people around were laughing and speaking.

In their opinion, it was normal for Li An to pay special attention to the news of the demon cultivators because he was being rewarded and targeted by them.

When Li An went out, he also paid attention to the news outside the market. It was said that almost all the cultivators who went to Liyang Valley were killed, and few escaped.

But the masters of Xuanyang Sect had come to support and were hunting down the demon cultivators and rescuing the survivors.

Even if Tan Qingxue really bought treasures such as cloud shoes as Li An said, she was probably in danger.

…

At night.

In Li An's room.

After thinking, Li An opened the ring, a faint white light flashed, and Li An entered it.

He checked the woman's body, covered her with a piece of clothing, and then injected a spiritual power. The woman coughed and slowly woke up.

There was some confusion in her eyes. She felt the clothes on her body and was obviously a little surprised. She looked up and saw a young man in front of her!

"Who... are you?"

She spoke vigilantly. Li An said, "I am an outer disciple of Xuanyang Sect, Li An!" He did not hide his identity, but said, "I have killed the demon cultivator by trickery. I accidentally got the ring worn by the demon cultivator, so I came here... I wonder who you are? Are you imprisoned here by the demon cultivator?" The woman was immediately excited when she heard it, "You are from Xuanyang Sect?!" "Great... Hurry up and save me!" She was so anxious that tears welled up in her beautiful eyes for a moment because of excitement. Over the years, she was imprisoned in the ring, which was tantamount to becoming the lucky slave of the demon cultivator, suffering torture and living a life worse than death! Li An said: "Miss, don't panic... The thief is dead, you are safe!"

Gu Hong wanted to say something anxiously, but Li An had already said: "Miss, the place I am outside is still not safe. You have been controlled by the demon cultivator for many years, your cultivation has been greatly damaged, and there is still demonic energy in your body. If you go out, it will be even more dangerous. I am afraid you will fall into the hands of the demon cultivator again."

"Why not stay in this ring and restore your cultivation before leaving the ring!"

Gu Hong immediately agreed with Li An's proposal. She nodded gratefully: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, you are thoughtful..."

Li An smiled and took out some more food, "I think the girl has been imprisoned here for many years, and should have rarely eaten water and rice. I specially prepared some food for you. Please eat some first."

Li An brought a bowl of spiritual rice, a bowl of braised pork, and even a small bottle of spiritual wine.

Seeing these things, Gu Hong couldn't help but shed tears. After so many years, she finally saw the hope of surviving and leaving...

"Tomorrow I will find a way to find some Qingqi Pills to clear the evil spirit in the girl's body."

"In addition, these are fifty spiritual stones. The girl can practice on her own and restore her cultivation."

Li An laid out fifty spiritual stones, and then said: "Li An will not disturb the girl's rest. I will take my leave first!"

After that, he left the ring.

In the ring, Gu Hong put on the clothes given by Li An, picked up the chopsticks, and ate the spiritual rice. She burst into tears...

...

In the room.

Li An was indifferent.

After learning about Gu Hong's identity, he had some thoughts in his mind.

If he reported directly to the sect, the sect would give a large reward, and Li An could also get a lot of contribution points.

But in this way, the fact that he saved Gu Hong would be exposed, and it was not worthwhile in terms of benefits.

After he reported to the sect, it was a matter between the sect and the second-grade alchemist Gu Songxi. Gu Songxi would only remember the favor of Xuanyang Sect!

Li An planned to take it slow, build a good relationship with Gu Hong first, and then find a chance to send her away.

In this way, the one who gained the favor of Gu Songxi's master and apprentice was Li An himself!

After all, alchemists are worth making friends with, especially second-grade alchemists like Gu Songxi!

…

The next day.

Li An went directly to the Xuanyang Sect's alchemy shop and spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of spiritual medicines.

The excuse was also very simple: after being targeted by the demon cultivator, he panicked and wanted to quickly improve his cultivation.

Among them, there were a few first-grade Qingqi pills.

This directly cost Li An two hundred spiritual stones.

However, for Li An, who is now rich and powerful, this is nothing.

He received a deposit of four hundred spiritual stones from the demon cultivator, and sold a total of three hundred forbidden-breaking talismans, earning more than seven hundred spiritual stones. Later, he took more than 300 spirit stones from the magic cultivator's storage bag.

Except for the consumption of talisman paper and talisman pen, and the two hundred spirit stones, there are still 1,000 spirit stones left!

Not short of money.

"They are rescued. Two of the disciples of Xuanyang Sect who went to Liyang Valley have been rescued!"

At this moment, a message came quickly!

"It's Tan Qingxue from the Spirit Talisman Shop and Wang Song from the Weapon Pavilion!"

Li An was surprised that Tan Qingxue was still alive?

On the street, several Xuanyang Sect cultivators rushed to the spirit medicine shop in a hurry.

"Is Zhao Gang, the owner of the spirit medicine shop, here? Come out and save people quickly!"

The leader was a master at the peak of Qi Refining. He was holding a woman covered in blood. It was Tan Qingxue!
