Chapter 87 Xu Qiuhui's Test

Listening to Xu Qiuhui's voice outside, Li An knew that this side was unavoidable.

If he avoided it, it would be more likely to arouse suspicion and attention.

He thought about it, and immediately removed his disguise and returned to Wei Ming's appearance.

After all, if he used a new appearance, it meant that he would have to play a new identity in the future.

And Xu Qiuhui, who had met Wei Ming and dealt with his new identity, would disappear when the "Wei Ming" who was preparing to refine the foundation-building pill disappeared, and a new foundation-building cultivator appeared... This would easily make Xu Qiuhui aware of something.

After all, Xu Qiuhui was not an easy person to deal with!

At that time, if Xu Qiuhui guessed that he practiced the Yin-Yang Magic Furnace to change his appearance, it would be dangerous.

It would be better to appear directly as Wei Ming.

He pushed open the door, walked out of the secret room, and said gratefully: "Fellow Daoist Gu, you have worked hard!"

Gu Hong guarding outside really made him feel at ease.

In this life, the only person he could truly trust was Gu Hong.

Even though Tan Qingxue had been close to him and had lived together for many years, Li An still did not trust Tan Qingxue.

"Congratulations on your success in building your foundation."

Gu Hong smiled, her eyes were so relaxed, and she was really happy for Li An.

Although Li An's appearance change surprised her, she was smart and said nothing and asked nothing.

"Wei Ming was able to successfully build his foundation, and Gu Daoyou and Gu Daoyou made great contributions. I will never forget this favor!"

Li An said another sentence, calmly pointing out his identity.

Gu Hong understood that Li An was trying to cover up in front of Xu Qiuhui, nodded and said: "Master Xu is here, and Wei Daoyou will go to meet him first."

...

Not long after.

Gu Hong opened the door of the spiritual medicine shop, and Li An walked out calmly, glanced around, bowed slightly, and said:

"Wei Mou was lucky to succeed in building his foundation, thank you for your concern!"

Others greeted him one after another, but Xu Qiuhui was stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be Wei Ming! ?

He succeeded in building his foundation?

This really surprised her, and she was a little... shocked.

Didn't she get the two Yuanhun crystal cores of Wei Ming? He collected all the medicinal materials for the foundation-building pill so quickly?

Or did he hold back back then?

She was shocked, but she remained calm and said, "Congratulations to Daoist Wei Ming. Although it was a few years late, he finally crossed the threshold of building his foundation. Daoist has succeeded, and Qiu Hui can finally rest assured."

Wei Ming smiled slightly, "Master Xu, please come in and have a chat."

Xu Qiu Hui nodded.

Walking into the inner hall, Gu Hong served tea to Li An and Xu Qiu Hui as a host.

Xu Qiuhui smiled slightly, "Just now when I was outside, I was still thinking that now that the foundation-building pill has been produced, Qiuhui must buy one anyway to make up for the favor she owed to Daoist Wei Ming a few years ago, but she didn't expect that it was Daoist Wei Ming who built the foundation..."

She couldn't help but sigh, "Daoist Wei, you have successfully built the foundation, but how can Qiuhui repay your kindness back then?"

She collected various soul-nourishing items back then and owed a few favors. She wanted to take this opportunity to buy the foundation-building pill to repay it.

However, Wei Ming... naturally didn't have much weight in her heart, and now it was just talk.

Li An said: "Master Xu, you are polite. You gave me four thousand spirit stones back then. It was this amount of spirit stones that allowed my friend to buy spiritual medicine in other places, which led to today's success. You and I don't owe each other anything, not to mention that all these years are thanks to your care."

"Wei should thank Master Xu."

Hehe, buy the foundation-building pill to make up for yourself?

Li An certainly wouldn't believe such words. Li An was neither humble nor arrogant, but Xu Qiuhui felt inexplicably complicated.

If it was someone else who was building a foundation, she could still ask to buy the foundation-building pill in his hand.

But Wei Ming...

She had robbed Wei Ming's Yuanhun crystal core in the past, and she had a grudge against Li An. Now asking for his foundation-building pill... I'm afraid it will make Li An even more disgusted, which is not appropriate.

After all, Li An is now a foundation-building cultivator, no longer the Qi-refining minion who can be manipulated at will.

However, she suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, where is Master Gu Dan?"

Gu Hong said: "My master is too tired from refining the foundation-building pill. He is resting and cannot see guests. Please forgive me, Lord Xu."

Xu Qiuhui nodded. She knew about Gu Songxi's affairs. He didn't have much life to begin with. Now he refined another furnace of foundation-building pills, which must have consumed a lot of energy.

But what she was puzzled about was...

Why did Gu Songxi help Wei Ming refine the pill?

In recent years, Gu Songxi and Gu Hong rarely refined second-grade elixirs, one is to avoid causing dissatisfaction from Zhang Deyi, and the other is that Gu Songxi's life span is not much.

How could Wei Ming let Gu Songxi sacrifice his life and cause Zhang Deyi's disgust to refine elixirs for him?

Moreover, Wei Ming did not look for anyone else, but specifically looked for Gu Hong and his apprentice. Obviously, the two sides have known each other for a long time.

In this case, Wei Ming's origin is not an unknown person...

Some thoughts flashed through her mind...

"Master Gu Dan has not made a move for many years, and his move today is extraordinary. Fellow Daoist Wei can get such help from Master Gu Dan, which is also a great blessing."

She did not reveal it at all, but just said politely, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Wei has successfully built his foundation, Qiu Hui is very pleased, and please accept this small gift."

As she said, she took out something!

A second-level talisman pen and forty second-level talisman papers!

Li An's heart trembled, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked a little confused and said, "I don't know the way of talismans..."

Xu Qiuhui didn't see the information she wanted from Li An's face. She smiled and said, "Qiuhui knows that formations and talismans have something in common. I believe that this talisman pen will be useful to you in the future."

Li An also smiled, "I am ashamed to accept such a generous gift, but I would be disrespectful to refuse it, Lord Xu."

"If there is anything in the future, please let me know, Lord Xu."

Express goodwill. "Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Wei reminds me of someone..."

While Xu Qiuhui was speaking, her eyes were observing Li An in a casual manner: "That person is my fellow junior brother. Back then, he killed the Soul-demanding Horse-faced Demon in the Qingyang Market and was rewarded with a Foundation-building Pill by the sect..."

Li An was surprised: "Are you talking about that... Black-hearted Talisman Master? I seem to have heard of him in the early years and have some impression of him."

"Yes."

"That junior brother is extremely cautious. Speaking of which, I was able to escape from the disaster of the Xuanyang Sect thanks to a letter from him..."

Back then, Li An killed the "Soul-demanding Horse-faced Demon" in the Qingyang Market and became the final winner, which made Xu Qiuhui pay more attention to Li An.

So, after that incident, she kept an eye on him and kept learning about Li An's movements through Tan Qingxue.

During the Xuanyang catastrophe, Li An wrote a letter to Tan Qingxue to go to the Qingyang Market to find materials for the second-level talismans for him.

She followed Tan Qingxue secretly at that time, wanting to investigate Li An.

But unexpectedly, she escaped the disaster by mistake.

In addition, she later learned that Wang Dazhu, who had a close relationship with Li An, also left with a letter from Li An...

She had already guessed something.

Now Wei Ming reminded her of Li An for some reason...

Mainly, Li An was robbed of his foundation pill, and Wei Ming was robbed of his soul crystal core. These two things are quite similar.

Moreover, Wei Ming's attitude of neither servility nor arrogance at this moment made her feel more and more... familiar.

"Just like I owed a favor to fellow Daoist Wei, I also owed a big favor to that junior brother."

She sighed and said, "Does fellow Daoist Wei recognize my junior brother? His name is Li An."
