Chapter 76: Planning to Build a Foundation

In the next month, Li An continued to adapt to the life in Baihu City while practicing. He also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about various news about medicines and alchemists in the city.

He also easily learned about the situation of Gu Hong and her master. After all, Gu Hong's master was a second-grade alchemist and a well-known figure in the city.

However, they did not live well.

Gu Songxi rarely made pills in recent years because his life span was about to end. If he continued to spend his energy, it would accelerate his death.

Gu Hong was also able to make second-grade pills in recent years, but the success rate was still relatively low.

Li An once walked far away from the pill shop opened by Gu Hong and his apprentice and saw Gu Hong busy in the shop.

She was the same as before, just worrying about running the shop, and she was more vicissitudes.

In addition, Li An also learned a gossip from Manman that Gu Hong had a bad relationship with his senior brother Zhang Deyi, and Zhang Deyi was highly regarded in Baihu Mountain, so there were big figures in Baihu Mountain who did not like Gu Hong and his apprentice.

This also caused Gu Hong and his apprentice to have a hard time in the city.

After comprehensive consideration, Li An did not consider Gu Hong and his apprentice as the first choice for refining the foundation-building pill!

But it was a backup.

First, since Gu Hong and his apprentice were targeted, he would be asking for trouble if he went to Gu Hong and his apprentice to refine the pill.

Second, after Zhao Xianchuan's catastrophe, he became extremely cautious.

Who knows if the Demon Cult has set up any killing plan here?

He will still find a chance to give the Yuanhun beast crystal core to Gu Hong, but not now.

"Luo Yong, a first-grade alchemist, his master is the second-grade alchemist Zhang Deyi..."

"Zhang Deyi is very famous in Baihu City and has many experiences in refining foundation-building pills!"

Li An thought, Luo Yong is in the same direction.

At the same time, Li An also began to buy some materials for refining arrays, and began to make medium and high-level arrays. He also found a store to consign. After paying the city entry tax and daily training expenses, the monthly income was only a surplus of ten yuan.

The income level was even worse than when he was in Qingyang Market.

This was mainly because he was worried and did not want to expose his identity as a talisman master as soon as he arrived.

There was a demon sect watching him secretly, and he was simply unable to sleep or eat!

Before building the foundation, he had to minimize all risks.

However, Li An was not short of spirit stones at present, and he still had more than 10,000 yuan in his hand, so this was enough.

The days passed one by one.

In the blink of an eye, half a year later.

Li An settled down in Baihu City as Wei Ming, and the years were like waves, but the wind was calm.

However, in the middle of this, the news that Xu Qiuhui became the seventeenth disciple of Baihu Zhenren was finally made public, and the apprenticeship ceremony was also completed, which caused a wave of waves. The "housing price" in Li An's area doubled directly, and the supply was in short supply.

In the evening of that day, Li An knocked on the door of the alchemist Luo Yong.

"Mr. Wei, what's up?"

It was not Luo Yong who opened the door, but a concubine of Luo Yong, named Wang Yue, who was beautiful.

"I have something important to visit Master Luo, so I'll give you this small gift. Please pass it on to me--"

Li An took out a set of advanced formations and handed it to Wang Yue.

Wang Yue followed Luo Yong and was naturally knowledgeable. When she saw it, her beautiful eyes lit up: "Mr. Wei, please wait a moment."

She immediately took the formation and went in.

Not long after.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Wei is here. My humble home is honored. Please come in!"

Luo Yong had already walked out with a big laugh. This time, his face was obviously much more enthusiastic, and the condescending coldness was gone.

Because Li An can now refine advanced formations, which means that Li An has become a high-level formation master!

He is at the same level as him. In addition, the formation that Li An gave him was also very targeted, which could strengthen his control over the temperature when refining the elixir.

He naturally valued Li An and could not help but treat him equally.

Entering Luo Yong's residence, Wang Yue served tea to the two of them, and Li An and Luo Yong exchanged pleasantries.

"Daoyou Wei, you gave me such a valuable gift, it should not be just for this cup of tea, right?"

Luo Yong asked leisurely.

Li An said: "Master Luo Dan has a keen eye,"

Li An immediately took out a few pieces of parchment and handed them to Luo Yong, saying: "In fact, Wei Ming came here to ask for advice."

Luo Yong took the parchment and glanced at it, and his eyes could not help but reveal a bit of solemnity.

The parchment was full of things about alchemy.

The more he read, the more frightened he felt.

At first, it was just some descriptions of the refining of first-grade elixir, but it already made him feel that he had gained a lot.

It was as if he was listening to the earnest teachings of an alchemy predecessor!

Even though he was a first-grade alchemist and the apprentice of second-grade alchemist Zhang Deyi, he was able to gain such insightful explanations.

And he was even more shocked when he saw the back, because some of the knowledge... did not seem to belong to the category of first-grade elixirs.

But second-grade!

"Daoyou Wei, where did you get this thing?!"

He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Li An.

Li An said: "Daoyou Luo, please tell me first, is there anything wrong with this thing?"

He asked humbly.

"Of course not!"

Luo Yong said: "If I am not mistaken, this should be the lifelong inheritance of a second-grade alchemist!"

He was already excited in his words.

Luo Yong's qualifications were only average among alchemists, so he had never been valued by Zhang Deyi, and it was almost impossible for him to get the inheritance of a second-grade alchemist in this life.

But, the thing given in front of Li An...

gave him hope.

So, how could he not be excited?

Li An nodded: "No problem... Then I can rest assured!" He said to Luo Yong: "To be honest, Brother Luo, I got this thing by accident. It seems to be something about the way of alchemy, but unfortunately I don't know the real thing and dare not learn it rashly, so I asked Brother Luo to help me judge it." After that, he reached out to take the parchment. But he couldn't move it. Luo Yong held it tightly. "Master Luo?" Li An said softly. Luo Yong let go, but still stared at the parchment and said: "Brother Wei, this is all you have?" Li An said: "Yes." Luo Yong pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Wei, if you want to learn the way of alchemy, this thing alone will not work." "You need someone to guide you!" Li An's eyes lit up and looked at Luo Yong. "Brother Wei gave me such a valuable gift today, and I have similar interests with Luo. I am willing to be Brother Wei's guide..." He looked at Li An quietly. He was sure that Li An must have the inheritance of the second-grade elixir in his hand!

But Li An only copied part of it.

Therefore, he used this as a pretext, and maybe he could take out Li An's inheritance later.

He did not directly ask for it or purchase it, because that might arouse Li An's vigilance.

Li An was overjoyed when he heard it, and said: "Thank you, Brother Wei. In fact, Wei Ming came here to ask Brother Luo for advice!"

Immediately, Li An humbly asked Luo Yong for advice, and Luo Yong told Li An everything he knew.

It was not until late at night that the two returned with great pleasure.

"This is the first time I have seen the master so happy. Mr. Wei, you are so lucky."

When sending Li An away, Wang Yue couldn't help but say one sentence.

Bid farewell to the two and returned to his residence.

Li An once again counted the resources he currently had.

"There is still one missing herb to complete the recipe for the foundation-building pill."

Building a good relationship with Luo Yong is to prepare for alchemy.

It would be best to ask Luo Yong's master Zhang Deyi to help. He has many experiences in refining foundation-building pills and is the safest choice.

The parchment that Li An showed him was some of Gu Songxi's alchemy experience, plus part of the incomplete inheritance of a second-grade alchemist that Li An obtained in his previous life.

He made some changes to the description of Gu Songxi's alchemy experience and the second-grade alchemist inheritance to ensure that Luo Yong could not trace the source.

Let Luo Yong have hope, so that he can get in touch with Zhang Deyi through him.

After all, Zhang Deyi is very famous in the city. If a character like Li An rashly goes to find him, first, he will not meet him at all, and second, there are risks.

You can't be impatient with Luo Yong's affairs, you have to take it slowly...

It's time to strengthen the collection of spiritual medicines recently...

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Li An got up and opened the door. In front of him was a gorgeous woman in a black dress. Her skin was as white as snow and her waist was very graceful. She was a beauty on earth!

"My name is Guo Xiaoxiao. I heard that a new neighbor has arrived, so I came to visit."

She introduced herself.

Although Li An's expression did not change at all, his heart suddenly sank...

He felt a long-lost breath from this woman...

Demon spirit!
