Chapter 55: Cloud Fantasy Mountains

Li An decided to go to Gu Hong first, for two reasons.

First, he must avoid the disaster of Xuanyang Sect, otherwise, if he encounters it, he will most likely die in it.

Second, after leaving Xuanyang Sect, he must find a way out for himself in advance.

In fact, it is most comfortable to stay under the big tree of Xuanyang Sect.

Every month, there is a stable monthly salary, a stable market store to sell talismans, and security.

These things are not available in other places.

If he really becomes a casual cultivator, let alone other things, his income from selling talismans may plummet!

A store in the market is worth a fortune. Even those cultivation families outside can only own a few stores in the market. Li An can use the Xuanyang Sect store to sell talismans privately, which is an important reason why he has been able to practice steadily for so many years.

There is no shortage of spiritual stones!

Moreover, after experiencing the previous life, Li An deeply knows how difficult the life of a casual cultivator is.

Fighting and killing, ups and downs, not knowing what will happen tomorrow, and not even a stable place to practice.

It's too life-threatening!

If Xuanyang Sect falls, he will have no way out if he doesn't prepare in advance!

Xuanyang Sect is located in the northern part of Dali. Apart from the three major forces in the Jindan stage, there are some foundation-building immortal families. How dare such a force take him in? Yin Yang Demon Cult has swept through so many foundation-building immortal families. Taking in Li An, who has a great grudge against the Demon Cult, is a waste of life.

And big sects like the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, even if they are willing to take in the "remnants" of Xuanyang Sect, will definitely treat them as outsiders and squeeze them hard, and will not fight the Demon Cult to death for him.

Just thinking about it makes me despair.

He thought about it and had an idea in his mind.

But this idea still needs to be verified.

So, he decided to go to Gu Hong.

In decades, this was the first time for him to "go far away", but he was experienced and dressed himself in ordinary clothes and ugly appearance. He looked like a low-level cultivator at first glance, and used his life seed to simulate a manic and sinister aura, giving people a feeling that he was not easy to mess with.

Plus, he did not deal with people along the way and stayed away from right and wrong, so he was safe.

Cuiyue Valley is nearly 200 miles away from Qingyang Market. Three days later, Li An finally arrived.

In front of him was a quiet valley with extraordinary scenery and abundant spiritual energy, only slightly weaker than Qingyang Market.

A protective formation was arranged in the valley.

Li An had changed back to his own appearance and called out to the valley from a distance.

Soon, a familiar figure came out, it was Gu Hong!

When she saw Li An, her face was full of surprise!

Although she was surprised, she still checked through the magic formation. The person in front of her did not have the aura of the devil and was not a devil cultivator. Then she opened the protective magic formation and put Li An in.

"Daoyou Li, why are you here?"

She walked up quickly.

"Daoyou Gu, what you told Li An a few months ago, Li An thought about it and decided to go to Yunhuan Mountains with you!"

Li An smiled.

Gu Hong's eyes were inexplicably touched. The reason why she had not set off was that she had been looking for someone.

To go to Yunhuan Mountains, she needed to find a reliable person to go with her.

But she had written a letter to a fellow senior brother for a long time, but that senior brother had not returned, making her wait very anxiously.

Now that Li An was here, she could also set off.

"Brother Li, come with me to see my master first. He wanted to see you in person more than ten years ago."

Gu Hong spoke and immediately led Li An to see her master Gu Songxi.

Gu Songxi is actually not very old, only over a hundred years old, and normally he still has a hundred years to live, but now his hair is gray, he looks thin, and his face is pale. He personally came out and poured a cup of tea for Li An.

This made Li An flattered!

"My friend, you saved Hong'er from the demon cultivators, and made talismans for me. This time, you are willing to go deep into the dangerous place for my life... I will never forget your kindness!"

Gu Songxi said with emotion: "My friend, are you interested in learning the way of alchemy?"

Li An's heart moved, and said: "I am quite interested, but unfortunately I don't have enough talent..."

"Even if I don't have enough talent, with your heart, there may be hope!"

Gu Songxi waved his hand, "If you don't mind, after you come back, I am willing to pass on my alchemy skills to you, how about it?"

Li An quickly stood up and saluted, saying: "How lucky Li An is!"

He knew very well that Gu Songxi's words might be half sincere, and the other half was to make a fuss for Li An, hoping that Li An could do his best to help Gu Hong during this trip.

But it was a good thing after all.

Gu Songxi laughed loudly, and Gu Hong beside him was also very happy.

The few of them chatted for a while.

Li An also roughly knew that Gu Songxi was injured by one of her senior sisters, which was related to some grievances between Gu Songxi and her master.

Early the next morning, Li An and Gu Hong set out for Yunhuan Mountains.

…

The Yunhuan Mountains are endless, tens of thousands of miles long, almost spanning the entire northern border.

Half a month later, Li An and Gu Hong barely arrived at the outskirts of Yunhuan Mountains.

The Yunhuan Mountains are rich in resources, with many spiritual medicines, mineral veins, and spiritual beasts, but they are also very dangerous. It is said that even Jindan cultivators have to think twice before going to the core area, and ordinary people only dare to explore the periphery.

Along the way, Gu Hong told Li An that in addition to the preparations of elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc., her biggest confidence in coming to Yunhuan Mountains this time is a set of mobile magic arrays that can be opened at any time!

However, this set of magic arrays requires at least two people to control together, so she has been waiting for people.

She is well prepared, and Li An is relieved.

After entering the Yunhuan Mountains, they encountered more spiritual medicines and spiritual beasts along the way. In just three days, Li An had already harvested three first-grade spiritual medicines.

At the same time, they also encountered several spiritual beasts in the middle and late stages of Qi training. In front of Gu Hong, a master of the foundation-building stage, Li An basically did not make any moves.

On the fourth day, they encountered a spiritual leopard in the early stage of the second stage. After a bloody battle, the leopard retreated, and Li An and Gu Hong wasted a lot of runes.

On the sixth day, they finally arrived at Gu Hong's destination-

This is a bare mountain, which is very conspicuous in the green forest. There are only some inexplicable yellow weeds and shrubs growing on the mountain. There is a dark cave halfway up the mountain.

"There should be a Yellow Spring Water in the mountain here."

"The Yuanhun Beast is probably guarding next to the Yellow Spring Water."

Gu Hong said, "This beast has a strong soul, keen perception, and is good at soul attack. You and I must use the Soul Calming Talisman to protect ourselves, use the Thunder Talisman to repel its attack, and then use the magic circle to kill it after approaching-"

Li An also nodded.

But suddenly he turned his head to look somewhere in the forest.

Gu Hong was only a moment slower than Li An, and immediately turned his head, only to see a man and a woman walking out of the forest.

The woman looked to be in her forties, wearing a red long skirt, very charming, with a kind of mature and spicy style of a middle-aged woman, while the man was very young, looking only in his twenties, with an overdrawn look on his face, and his eye sockets were a little sunken.

"Two Taoist friends, do you want to kill the Yuanhun Beast?"

The woman took the initiative to speak, and smiled and said, "We are also thinking about this, how about working together?"
