Chapter 59: Condensing Spiritual Awareness

In the evening, Li An finally returned to Qingyang Market.

He first disguised himself as another customer and wandered outside the store for a long time. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he returned to the store.

He had been away for only a few months, and the store was in charge of the apprentices he recruited and was running normally.

Tan Qingxue sent many letters and materials.

She had collected all the things that Li An asked her to find in Liuyang River Market, and told Li An in the letter that he didn't need to give her spirit stones, as she no longer needed to practice in the sect.

Li An was silent for a long time after reading it.

He continued to communicate with Tan Qingxue, Wang Dazhu and others, and at the same time he regularly inquired about the news in the market, keeping a high level of attention to the Demon Cult.

Then he began to concentrate on making money and practicing.

In the past, he was worried that the large shipment volume would attract the attention of those who were interested, but now he thought that the Demon Cult might have already started to lay out, and time was running out.

So, he adjusted the shipment volume of talismans and increased it significantly.

Mainly the more expensive first-grade high-quality talismans.

Aside from the cost, his monthly profit is about 200 yuan.

Only the top first-level talisman masters can reach this level.

It is also the upper limit of what can be sold openly.

Privately, he goes to the underground trading market every month to sell many fine talismans, and earns an extra 50 to 60 yuan.

It can be said that Li An has become a ruthless money-making machine.

He only sleeps for two hours a day, but fortunately, the life-nourishing immortal art is very effective in replenishing vitality, so he does not feel tired.

In addition to making first-level high-quality talismans and practicing, he is also trying to draw second-level talismans.

The soul-calming talisman and the thunder talisman are special talismans, which are not very suitable for fighting to save lives.

"At least one second-level low-quality wind spirit talisman, one second-level low-quality mysterious cover talisman, and one explosive talisman need to be made!"

He whispered, this is his goal.

Escape, protection, attack!

As for the control talisman, he didn't dare to hope for it at present. The control talisman was a real fine product among the second-grade lower-grade ones. If he wanted to refine it, with his current level, it would probably cost a sky-high price.

It was extremely uneconomical.

The cost of other talismans was already very expensive.

Besides, he had to speed up the practice of Iron Tree Jue and Cold Yin Finger.

It was all about money!

…

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

"Finally succeeded--"

Li An looked at a talisman in his hand and showed a look of relief.

Finally, two second-grade lower-grade wind spirit talismans were refined!

At the same time, his Iron Tree Jue was close to the state of great success.

The toxicity of Cold Yin Finger had also reached the level that Li An wanted.

Now, he could almost withstand the attack of a first-grade upper-grade magic weapon with his body alone!

And the poison in his hand could easily poison a cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining.

"It's time to go to Yunhuan Mountains..." He whispered. It's time to retrieve the things hidden there. He didn't go there for a year. In addition to not wanting Gu Songxi and others to find something unusual, the most important reason was that without Gu Hong by his side, he lacked support. There are still risks when traveling alone. Now that he has a second-level low-grade wind spirit talisman, his ability to save his life has been greatly improved. He sneaked out of the market. Two months later, he retrieved the storage bag from Yunhuan Mountains and returned to Quyue Valley. In the past three years, he would come here every six months to replenish the spirit stones for the second-level formation in the valley. Each time it was a considerable expense. Even though Li An worked hard to make money, he was still a little stretched. But he was not stingy. The money was worth it. He had a safe place to retreat. In addition, he made some minor adjustments to the activation method of the second-level formation. If Gu Songxi and his disciples returned, they could indeed activate the formation, but there would be traces left, which Li An could observe from the outside.

He checked carefully and confirmed that no one had entered, and then he activated the formation and entered the valley.

Close the formation and enter the closed chamber.

Li An opened the storage bag and looked at the body of the Yuanhun beast in it, feeling a little excited!

This thing is very important to him... The Yuanhun beast is born with extremely powerful soul power and consciousness, and can even crush the foundation-building cultivators.

And Li An knows that if he can get the Yuanhun beast crystal core in the late stage of Qi Refining, it is possible to cultivate consciousness!

It should be noted that generally only the foundation-building cultivators can have consciousness.

The spiritual consciousness has many wonderful uses. With a random sweep, it can sense the surrounding environment, which is far more accurate than vision and hearing.

With this thing, it will be very convenient to sense the opponent and detect the environment during the battle.

However, few people would use the Yuanhun beast crystal core to condense the consciousness in the late stage of Qi Refining, because it is really a waste. The Yuanhun beast itself is valuable. It can refine the small Huandan that all the foundation-building cultivators flock to. If the purity is sufficient, it can also be used as the material of the foundation-building pill...

But Li An doesn't think so. Condensing the consciousness in advance can increase the ability to save life in the Qi Refining stage, and it is also very beneficial when impacting the foundation.

Moreover, he also knows that some of the proud children with extremely deep backgrounds will choose to condense the consciousness in the Qi Refining stage.

In the final analysis, ordinary people can't do this, but they don't have enough vision and resources.

Now, Li An has no lack of cognition, and he has already obtained the purple soul grass for refining the foundation-building pill, and he has no worries about his life span, so the crystal core of the Yuanhun beast can be used to do this.

After working with the star-shaped dagger for most of the night, Li An finally completed the dissection of the Yuanhun beast corpse.

Turtle shells and head horns are excellent materials for refining second-level magic tools.

The tortoise shell is indestructible, even the star-shaped dagger can hardly leave a scratch on it. It can be used to refine defensive magic tools. The head and horns contain the soul power of the Yuanhun beast, which can be used to make magic weapons to attack the soul.

Even the meat of the Yuanhun beast is a very precious spiritual food.

And seeing the pure crystal core cut out of the Yuanhun beast's belly, Li An was even more delighted.

The crystal core is the size of a fist, without a trace of impurities, crystal clear, and round.

Li An carefully used a dagger to decompose the crystal core into four parts.

He felt that with his own experience, one part was enough to condense the consciousness.

If everything goes well, the rest...

Leave it to Gu Hong.

Li An's Taoism is firm, but not indifferent.

The reason why he didn't tell Gu Hong that he got the crystal core was because he didn't want Gu Hong to know his secret.

These things cannot be told even to the beauty who is in life and death.

But he saw Gu Hong's sincerity, so he naturally would not be stingy.

He set up many defenses, but he would not reject sincerity.

Moreover, when he gave Gu Hong the crystal core in the future, he also needed to think of ways and means, and he could not let Gu Hong know the origin of the crystal core.

At that time, he had seen that Gu Songxi still had 20 to 30 years to live, and getting the crystal core later would not delay his life extension.

…

Holding a crystal core in his hand, Li An began to meditate.

Completely calming down, all his perceptions were focused on the crystal core.

Guiding the power in the crystal core into the body, like a wisp of air, like a wisp of mist, all his spirit was focused on it…

…
