Chapter 52 Gu Hong Arrives

In the evening, Li An finally returned to the talisman shop.

As he thought, despite the reconstruction of the market, the ancient well he chose was indeed very hidden, and the storage bag was safe and sound.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, so he took inventory.

At present, in terms of spiritual medicine alone, he already has a second-grade Youguang Lotus, a second-grade Zipo Grass, and two second-grade Qianling Vine!

"I only need two more spiritual medicines, and I can gather the medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill!"

He was quite relieved!

This is also the reason why he was willing to give up the foundation-building pill of the sect.

"I am currently only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and I still have decades to build the foundation... take it slow."

He was not panicked.

The only thing he was worried about now was that Xuanyang Sect might be invaded by the Demon Cult at any time.

After all, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xuanyang Sect might really have fallen into the trap of the Soul-Seeking Horse-Faced.

If the Soul-Seeking Horse-Faced really lurked inside Xuanyang Sect, then his plot would be obvious!

In this regard, he always prepared for the worst.

"After all, the Xuanyang Sect is a big tree with deep roots. It is impossible for the Demon Cult to shake the Xuanyang Sect quietly, so there must be extraordinary movements before taking action... So, pay attention to the situation of the Demon Cult in Dali on one hand, and pay attention to the news in the sect on the other hand!"

"Once there is an abnormality, escape immediately!"

He made a decision.

"I am afraid that there will be few peaceful days, I have to practice hard..."

"The Thunder Palm is a good technique..."

He took out a volume of techniques.

It was the yellow-level top-grade technique awarded by the sect.

This volume of techniques is top-grade in the Xuanyang Sect. Usually only elders can refer to it. If Li An had not killed the Soul-seeking Horse-faced Man, he would never have been able to get this kind of thing in the sect in his life.

Li An also mastered several other techniques of this level, which are not much different from the Thunder Palm, but the Thunder Palm has an advantage that it can be used openly after practice!

"First practice 'Thunder Palm', then practice 'Cold Yin Finger'..."

Cold Yin Finger is another yellow-grade top-grade skill he has mastered, and its attributes are completely opposite to the Thunder Palm.

The Thunder Palm is fierce and fierce, while the Cold Yin Finger is feminine and sinister!

The biggest advantage of the Cold Yin Finger is that it can also produce cold Yin poison!

Li An made this choice for his own reasons. When he faced the enemy, he showed the masculine and fierce Thunder Palm. The enemy would definitely think that he was taking the masculine path. Who would have thought that he could practice the opposite and poisonous method?

Of course, it would be very difficult to practice like this. Ordinary practitioners would probably be exhausted and have difficulty in achieving anything.

But Li An has extraordinary mental strength!

Immediately, Li An began to practice the Thunder Palm.

"There are thirteen styles of the Thunder Palm, each one is more powerful than the last, and it is quite difficult to practice..."

The first half of the night was almost over, and Li An still only seemed to be proficient in the palm method, but he still hadn't found the key to the way of exerting force.

Feeling tired, he did not practice the Thunder Palm anymore, but walked to the wooden barrel and poured fifty kilograms of molten gold into it.

Take off all your clothes and step into it.

He started to use the Iron Tree Technique.

"Hiss——"

Even though he had iron skin and silver flesh, he was grimacing in pain at this moment!

The molten gold penetrated into the skin, passed through the flesh, and then went straight to the bones, and the bones were immediately as if pierced by needles.

...

Five years of life in the market went by in a flash.

This year, Li An was fifty-four years old.

He still stayed at the sixth level of Qi training, but after six years of hard practice, he had practiced five styles of the Thunder Palm and three fingers of the Cold Yin Finger.

"Golden Bones" were a small success.

At the same time, his level of drawing talismans has been further improved. He can almost make first-grade high-quality talismans at will.

"It's a pity that my cultivation is not enough, otherwise I can try second-grade talismans..."

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Making talismans requires spiritual energy and spirit. Even though he has practiced the life-nourishing immortal art, his own spiritual energy is much purer than others. It is extremely difficult to use the spiritual energy of the middle stage of Qi training to refine second-grade runes.

At least he has to wait until he enters the late stage of Qi training before he can try.

"Li Lang,"

Tan Qingxue walked in. Eight years have passed, and there are already faint wrinkles on her face.

In the past few years, she has also found a beauty pill to take, but the beauty pill can only delay aging. She is now nearly sixty years old, and the breath of time is hard to erase.

The once beautiful and lively girl of the Futang is now a middle-aged woman. Although she is still beautiful, she has shown signs of decline.

"Sister Qiuhui wrote again, urging me to return to the sect."

She served Li An some spiritual rice porridge and brought it to him, with some sadness in her eyes.

"Good, you go back."

Li An took the warm porridge and took a sip.

After Xu Qiuhui established her foundation, she naturally had a say in the sect, and it was not difficult to transfer Tan Qingxue back.

Li An also knew about this matter. At first, considering the danger of the sect in the future, he had dissuaded Tan Qingxue indirectly.

But Tan Qingxue's heart seemed to be getting more and more determined, and she was unwilling to stay in Qingyang Market.

So, he did not stop her any more.

Tan Qingxue looked at the man in front of her who had been with her for decades. After so many years, he was still so young, and even his face had not changed much.

His expression was still so calm, as if he didn't care about anything.

"Li Lang, I'm going to be sixty years old soon. If I don't give birth again, I will have no children in this life..."

She looked at Li An with a pleading look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Li An finished his porridge, put down his bowl, and just said this. Tan Qingxue's eyes showed a touch of sadness and sorrow, "You hate me, right? Hate me for not saving you in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, hate me for leaving you eight years ago." "You don't love me either, you love Sister Qiu Hui..." Li An suddenly said: "Qingxue." He looked into Tan Qingxue's eyes: "I don't hate you." "I didn't love her either." "Really." Tan Qingxue also looked into Li An's eyes. After so many years, she suddenly felt that she saw sincerity in Li An's eyes for the first time. She felt very complicated in her heart. She stood there for a long time, and suddenly stepped forward gently, hugged Li An, and kissed his forehead. "Li Lang, I'm leaving." "I understand, this time I understand more than anything else." "I hope that when you reach a higher place in the immortal path, you can remember that there was a woman named Qingxue who accompanied you." After saying that, she turned and left. The next morning, Li An quietly folded her daily laundry, put it in the bag along with a brand new high-level talisman pen, a protective soft armor, and a pair of cloud-shoe boots.

These three things were the magic tools he carefully selected in the market, which cost him 1,600 spiritual stones.

"Be careful when you go back, I will write to you often."

Li An handed the bag to Tan Qingxue and said.

Tan Qingxue took the bag and put it in the storage bag. Standing outside the talisman shop, she suddenly smiled and said:

"Junior Brother Li, goodbye."

She put on light makeup this morning and wore the most beautiful dress, just like in the past.

She seemed to want to let Li An see the most beautiful herself before leaving.

She turned and left, disappearing into the crowd. ...

After watching Tan Qingxue disappear in the crowd on the street, Li An turned around calmly, cleaned the talisman shop carefully, and put out the talismans to be sold today, as usual.

…

In the following days, he would write two or three letters to Tan Qingxue every month, maintaining frequent contact.

In the letter, he would ask about the recent situation of many sects, and Tan Qingxue would answer carefully.

At present, the sect is still stable.

But Li An's worries are getting deeper and deeper, but the practice of Yangming Zhuxian Jue is really slow and can't be forced, so he has to practice Tieshu Jue, Benlei Palm, Hanyin Finger, etc.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

Li An is already 59 years old, only one step away from the 60-year-old mark.

Almost all his peers have started families and careers, but Li An is alone, and there is a tendency to die alone. Moreover, at his age, it is a bit late to have children.

But Li An took steady steps, without any disturbances. His cultivation finally reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he could reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

That day, he was practicing the Cold Yin Finger in his room.

All ten fingers were immersed in the blue medicine liquid, and the poison penetrated into the skin and flesh, and soon the small basin of poison water became very clear.

"The Cold Yin Finger has been slightly improved!"

He was quite satisfied.

"Master Li Fu, Master Li Fu... someone is looking for you outside!"

At this time, the apprentice he recruited knocked on the door outside the room.

"Who?" Li An opened the door, puzzled.

"It's a female customer, she insisted on seeing you."

Li An was suspicious, and at the same time, he instantly grasped more than a dozen talismans, ready to kill directly if the timing was wrong.

But when he saw the person in the store, he was a little surprised.

The person was Gu Hong, whom he saved more than ten years ago!

"Master Li Fu, long time no see!"

Gu Hong smiled slightly. Her face did not age at all, and her aura was even more amazing...

She has successfully established her foundation!

...
