Chapter 66: Eight Years of Survival

After entering the Suiyue Valley, Li An made up his mind that he would not go out again for a while.

Anyway, the current resources are enough for him to practice for a long time.

Moreover, with him here, many active functions of the second-level formation of Suiyue Valley can be turned off, which can save a lot of spirit stones. Two hundred spirit stones a month are enough to support it.

When no one is around, the formation is in a full stress state, and the cost will be much higher!

…

And at this moment.

Xuanyang Sect.

The fire burned for twenty consecutive days before it finally stopped. The dozens of miles of mountains that once belonged to Xuanyang Sect have all turned into scorched earth.

The sect was in a mess. The Alchemy Hall, the Talisman Hall, the Refining Hall, etc. had long been looted and burned. The bodies of Xuanyang Sect disciples were scattered everywhere, flies were buzzing, and the stench was overwhelming.

And at this moment, in the inner gate hall of Xuanyang Sect.

Seven foundation-building period demon cultivators sat on both sides.

At the head, it turned out to be the elder of Xuanyang Sect - Li Yuan!

It was just that at this moment, black demonic energy emanated from his body, and the whole person was carrying an undisguised demonic murderous aura!

"Master, all the resources of Xuanyang Sect have been counted and sent away according to your instructions. This time, the harvest was huge!"

"Most of the remnants of Xuanyang Sect's foundation-building period were killed, and no more than five people escaped. They can't cause any trouble!"

"We have been keeping a close eye on the Hundred Beast Sect. They dare not make a move. We can attack Liuyang River Market with confidence!"

This group of foundation-building period demon cultivators spoke up one after another.

The leader, "Li Yuan" nodded and said, "It's hard to break through Xuanyang Sect in one fell swoop this time."

"Each of you will receive three furnaces and 20,000 spirit stones, and you can choose any other resources."

"In addition, spread the word to me and tell the world that old Xuanyang has been chopped up by me and made into minced meat to feed the dogs - the heads of his junior brothers and sisters will be hung at various intersections in the northern part of Dali for ten days!"

Everyone nodded. "Li Yuan" suddenly thought of something: "Where is that little talisman master? Have you caught him? Hang his head out. Although I deliberately wanted to die, I was killed by such a thing. I am angry when I think about it-"

The last demon cultivator stood up with an ugly face: "Report to the helmsman, the black-hearted talisman master escaped..."

"I guess he is the one who killed my senior brother. He learned our Yin-Yang magic furnace skills, so he changed his appearance and got out-"

Another foundation-building demon cultivator next to him Xiu also said: "Captain, there is another small matter. The dozen men I left at the Mashan Ferry were killed and robbed of their treasures. Combined with the facts, we infer that it was probably done by the talisman master!"

"Li Yuan" frowned instantly: "You mean, the man who sold me fake talismans and cut off my head back then slipped away under my nose today, not only did he not die, but also turned around and tricked me, killed a dozen of my men, and took away the treasure?!"

The two foundation-building demon cultivators trembled, with fear in their eyes.

"Captain, we have issued a kill order..."

Li Yuan suddenly said, "Well done!"

The two foundation-building demon cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, "This is what our subordinates should do..."

"Who said you did a good job?"

"Li Yuan" said, "I said that the little talisman master did a good job!"

"Damn it, what a ruthless, patient and decisive black-hearted talisman master. It seems that my plan was actually discovered by him, hehe... He is more like a demon cultivator than me, and he has also cultivated the Yin-Yang Demon Furnace Skill of our demon sect. Good, good, good!"

He actually praised it loudly.

Many demon cultivators in the field looked at each other in surprise.

"What's the use of a kill order? This kind of cowardly and ruthless character, who has taken so many resources, will wait for you to kill him? He must have found a remote place to practice for ten or eight years before coming out."

"Remove that damn kill order, don't embarrass yourself. If the order is issued and no one can be killed in ten or eight years, won't it be embarrassing?"

"Li Yuan" spoke casually, as if he was chatting, without a trace of anger.

"Captain, are you going to just let it go..."

A demon cultivator in the foundation-building stage couldn't help but speak.

"Of course not. You two go find people related to that little talisman master, but don't make it public. Find those people who are greedy and bribe one or two of them secretly."

"Li Yuan" said: "I guess, after ten or eight years, this grandson will most likely show up, and then he might contact his old friends..."

The two foundation-building period demon cultivators nodded immediately, "If he shows up, we will kill him ourselves!"

"Li Yuan" rolled his eyes at his two subordinates, "Kill the ass, capture him alive, remember, I want to capture him alive!"

After saying that, he stood up and said: "Let's go, hurry up and practice for a while, most likely I have to help the third brother catch the white-haired tigress..."

...

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

For three years, Li An has not contacted the outside world once, nor has he gone out, but he will regularly conduct a reconnaissance of the ten-mile area around Cuiyue Valley every once in a while, focusing on detecting the breath of demon cultivators.

But fortunately, the area around Cuiyue Valley has always been very peaceful. "The spiritual root has officially reached the middle grade of the yellow rank!"

That day, Li An looked inside his life seed and felt the changes in his spiritual root. He was extremely relieved!

Currently, his spiritual root sensitivity has reached 64 points!

Generally speaking, 30 to 60 is the low grade of the yellow rank, and 60 to 100 is the middle grade of the yellow rank.

It needs to exceed 100 points to be called the upper grade of the yellow rank.

Those with middle grade yellow rank spiritual roots can generally practice smoothly to the late stage of Qi Refining. If the opportunity is enough, there is a great possibility of impacting the foundation building.

And those with low grade yellow rank, such as Tan Qingxue, although they practice very hard, they stop at the seventh level of Qi Refining in this life, and the chance of building a foundation is very slim.

Spiritual roots are the foundation of sensing the world and practicing the great way. If the spiritual root is too poor, even if you use three foundation building pills in a row like Chen Cheng... it is in vain!

He stood up, walked out of the room, stretched his body, and suddenly his palms blasted like thunder.

Bang bang bang!

Wherever his palm went, thunderous sounds came and went. A rhododendron forty meters away was smashed to pieces by his palm power.

He kept moving, and with his great light steps, he was lighter than a monkey, like a butterfly, gently touching leaves and grass leaves, as graceful as a startled wild goose. At the same time, the Thunder Palm in his hand was better than one palm. When the last palm was hit, the lake water eighty meters away exploded, and huge waves rose more than ten meters, and then fell heavily!

The power was amazing!

"The Thunder Palm has been fully practiced!"

At the same time, Li An gently exerted his strength, and a blue-green light bloomed on his hand, giving people the illusion of a venomous snake!

"The Cold Yin Finger is also perfect, but unfortunately, the venom has not kept up during this period. I will find more poisonous ones to practice in the future."

The only stagnation was the Iron Tree Art, and the Golden Bone State remained at the level of three years ago.

The main reason was the lack of resources, and there was no place to buy molten gold liquid.

"It will take several years to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining..."

The effect of the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art is amazing. It can increase lifespan, spiritual roots, consciousness, physique and other aspects, but the side effect is that the speed of cultivation will be slowed down.

But Li An did not complain about this. In fact, he has found that the quality of his spiritual power is particularly pure after the speed has slowed down.

If he does not use any magic runes and other external objects, and simply fights with his own strength, Li An is sure to fight against the ninth level of Qi Refining!

Even after having consciousness, he still has a natural advantage.

"Continue to refine talismans and make formations!"

Since cultivation cannot be rushed, Li An works hard in other aspects.

Especially talismans, which are the foundation of his life!

Another five years have passed.

Li An finally reached the eighth level of Qi Refining and can impact the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At the same time, the talisman paper and other resources he brought from the talisman shop have been exhausted and all made into runes.

Now, he has a total of sixteen second-level talismans in his hand!

Five Explosion Talismans, Two Breaking Taboo Talismans, Three Mysterious Shield Talismans, Three Second-Level Speeding Talismans, Two Thunder Talismans, and One Soul-Calming Talisman.

"There are still not enough Explosion Talismans..."

%74%78%74%38%30.%63%6f%6d

Li An sighed. His ideal is to always have 20 pieces of attack, defense, and control talismans.

It is best to have 10 Breaking Taboo Talismans and Speeding Talismans as a base!

This is the only way to be stable.

But this ideal is obviously not something he can do at the moment.

First, it is limited by resources. Second-level talisman paper requires special materials to make. Even if he got a lot from the talisman shop, it is not enough.

Second, it is limited by realm. There is always a difference between the spiritual power of the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage.

In fact, it is already amazing to be able to make a second-level talisman at this stage. It is impossible for other talisman masters to do it.

In addition, he has four sets of advanced formations, namely defense, attack, and control. "Prepare to break through the ninth level of Qi Refining..."

After breaking through the ninth level of Qi Refining, it's time to go out...plan to build the foundation!
