Chapter 43: Arrange the Formation Again

After sending Xu Qiuhui away, Li An sat in the store and pondered over and over again.

Xuan Yang Sect had obtained Yin Yang Magic Furnace Skill more than ten years ago, which matched some of the information he had obtained before.

Mu Qingwan seemed to have been chosen as the furnace cauldron.

However, the Yin Yang Magic Furnace Skill obtained by Xuan Yang Sect should be similar to the "simplified version" that is now circulating everywhere, otherwise, it would not take years of research to deduce the side effects of Yin Yang Magic Furnace Skill.

The problems of spiritual root promotion are explained in detail in the complete version that Li An obtained.

He just didn't expect that he could become the inner demon of a foundation-building demon cultivator...

Are the demon cultivators of this era so psychologically fragile? No matter how you think about it, this is a bit strange...

However, it doesn't matter.

From Xu Qiuhui's words, Xuan Yang Sect has decided to use Li An as bait!

Even if a fish is really caught, the bait will often be eaten...

His first thought was to run away.

But the risk is also very high. He is now under surveillance by Xu Qiuhui, and it is difficult to find an opportunity. Even if he manages to escape and uses the teleportation technique to leave, he will face endless troubles. The Xuanyang Sect and the Demon Sect will hunt him down.

What if he doesn't run away and stays?

If what Xu Qiuhui said is true, he will definitely face the killing of the demon cultivators.

In order to deal with the demon cultivators, the Xuanyang Sect will definitely arrange people to ambush secretly, but will the ambushing people care about Li An's life or death? The fisherman will definitely wait until the fish eats the bait and is completely hooked before lifting the rod.

To put it bluntly, in the Xuanyang Sect's plan this time, Li An is a sacrifice!

Otherwise, Xu Qiuhui would not have told Li An to quickly leave a child for Tan Qingxue.

"The people of the Demon Cult have been attracted by the medicinal materials of Xuanyang Sect."

"So, from the perspective of the Demon Cult, they should not come to kill me for the time being, because if so, their appearance will naturally alert the Xuanyang Sect and make it more difficult for them to rob medicinal materials."

"Similarly, they will not let me live for too long. Once the spiritual medicine is robbed, the Soul-Seeking Horse-Faced Demon will definitely upgrade his spiritual roots at the fastest speed and will not allow me to live for too long."

"So, if I were a demon cultivator, I would definitely act at the same time, robbing spiritual medicine while entering the market to kill people. This is the best!"

Li An analyzed carefully.

"If I act on both sides at the same time, then I may not face the Soul-Seeking Horse-Faced Demon Cultivator!"

His eyes lit up!

If he faced a foundation-building demon cultivator like the Soul-Seeking Horse-Faced Demon Cultivator... then Li An really felt a little desperate.

He is now perfect in the fifth level of Qi Refining. In front of that kind of existence, the chance of survival is very small.

But if it is other demon cultivators, as long as they are not in the foundation-building stage, there is hope.

Where will the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon go?

Li An felt that the other party would most likely go to rob the medicinal herbs!

After all, as long as Li An was still alive, there would always be a chance to kill him, but medicinal herbs were something that could only be encountered by chance.

In addition, Li An was certainly not as important as the medicinal herbs, so the Demon Cult should be able to guess that the Xuanyang Sect would have more power to protect the medicinal herbs, and the Soul-Calling Horse-Faced Demon would definitely fight this tough battle himself.

Thinking of this, Li An couldn't help but feel a little certain.

Next, he began to deduce what might happen.

"The other party would not forcefully attack the market town, and would most likely adopt the previous method - sneaking into the market town and then killing me."

"The talisman shop is the core!"

"At that time, the masters of the Xuanyang Sect will ambush all around."

"What I have to do is to survive. The longer I can hold on, the greater the chance of survival!"

Li An caught the key to the problem.

The Xuanyang Sect used him as bait, and the most feared situation was that the demon cultivators who came were too strong and would kill Li An instantly or quickly.

In this case, even if there are masters in the dark of Xuanyang Sect, they probably won't care about Li An's life or death.

However, if Li An can fight with the opponent for a long time and hold on, the masters of Xuanyang Sect will definitely take action.

Because, they dare not delay.

"At present, I have twenty first-grade high-quality talismans and two first-grade high-quality magic weapons. In addition, the silver flesh stage of the Iron Tree Jue has been refined. Even if it is the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, I can deal with it for a while."

"But it's not enough."

He whispered.

Then he counted the spirit stones.

After more than ten years of accumulation, plus the gains from killing the demon cultivators, he now has more than 2,100 spirit stones in his hand.

It can be called a huge sum of money.

Looking at the spirit stones, he gradually had an idea in his mind...

At night.

Today, Tan Qingxue was dressed up gorgeously, pure and lustful, more charming than before.

"Li Lang, why are you not very happy today? Is it because of Sister Xu?"

She lingered on Li An and asked with concern.

"I am worried."

Li An sighed: "The Demon Cult is so rampant, and I have offended the Demon Cult master. What if something unexpected happens?"

Tan Qingxue said: "Li Lang, you don't have to worry too much. After a few days, the sect will catch all the demon cultivators and we will be safe."

Li An nodded: "However, those demon cultivators are hard to guard against. If we want to have children, we still have to plan for a long time..."

Tan Qingxue was immediately excited and happy and said: "Li Lang, you finally figured it out. What are you going to do? I will listen to you!"

Li An said: "I plan to buy a second-level magic array to protect the talisman shop. In this way, we can rest assured..."

Second-level magic array?

After listening to this, Tan Qingxue couldn't help laughing for some reason. Li Lang was... a little too timid, right?

This is Qingyang Market, the territory of Xuanyang Sect, which is one of the safest places. But Li Lang actually wants to install another second-level magic array. He is really... extremely cautious!

You must know that the second-level magic array is for foundation-building cultivators!

However, she was already in high spirits. She immediately approached Li An and whispered softly in Li An's ear: "Today you teach me everything you know, tomorrow I will teach you everything I know, and you can buy anything you want..."

...

The next morning.

Li An did not go out, but Tan Qingxue went out.

Under Li An's guidance, she went directly to the formation store.

Formation stores generally do not have second-level formations in stock, but a few years ago, a foundation-building family ordered a formation here, but before they could pick it up, they were destroyed by the Soul-Demanding Horse-Faced, and the formation has been in stock ever since.

Li An has been eyeing this formation for a long time, but he has never needed it before, so he has not purchased it.

At noon, Tan Qingxue had already returned with the second-level formation.

"After much persuasion, I still spent 3,500 spirit stones... Li Lang, for your sense of security, our family's assets have been emptied."

Even though she had been mentally prepared last night, she still felt distressed to spend such a large sum of money.

If there is a chance, 3,500 spirit stones can be used to buy foundation-building pills, have children, and support a small cultivation family.

"Thank you Qingxue!"

Li An spoke gratefully, and then installed the formation without hesitation.

Unlike the incomplete formation before, this is a complete second-level formation. Just running it every day costs about 100 spirit stones!

Even though Li An has a stable income now, he can only barely support it.

Tan Qingxue really couldn't understand it.

However, seeing Li An busy, she didn't say anything, just turned around and silently prepared dinner for Li An.

...

In a blink of an eye, the third day arrived.

On this day, in the evening.

Xu Qiuhui came again.

"Qingxue, do you have time? Come with me."

She didn't tell Tan Qingxue the truth.

"Ah, now?"

Tan Qingxue was cooking soup in the kitchen. She was a little surprised when she heard it. She said, "Are you busy? If not, I'll cook some soup for Li Lang before I leave. He drinks Yangyuan Soup every night..."

Xu Qiuhui sighed softly and didn't urge her.

Tan Qingxue carefully took care of the fire. When the Yangyuan soup was cooked, she carefully brought it down and put it on the table, and told Li An:

"Li Lang, I put the soup here, remember to drink it while it's hot, I'm going out with Sister Xu first..."

In the room, Li An was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong, Li Lang?"

Li An got up, smoothed her hair, and carefully brushed off some of the dust that she touched in the kitchen, and then said: "Go, remember to be careful about everything after you go out."

Tan Qingxue smiled sweetly, she ignored Xu Qiuhui outside the door, gently hugged Li An, kissed Li An, and said: "I'll be back soon, wait for me--"

She went out and left with Xu Qiuhui.

Li An was alone, sitting in the room, waiting silently.

Before the soup cooled down, several figures appeared in the Lingfu Shop. They were all disciples of Xuanyang Sect. The leader was Jing Ao whom Li An had met before.

He had successfully established his foundation.

"Master Li Fu, we meet again."

He smiled slightly, "I heard from Senior Sister Qiu Hui that you set up a second-level formation here?"

Li An did not speak, but calmly picked up the Yangyuan Soup on the table and took a sip.

The soup tasted delicious, strong, and warm in the throat.
