Chapter 100 Long-term planning

Li An found a deserted place and waited until late at night before taking action. He first arrived at the mountain stream and then sneaked into the crocodile pond to dig out all the things buried four years ago.

He also killed two crocodiles and roasted them for food.

He carefully counted and classified the supplies.

First, his own things: tortoise shell shield, soul-calming horn, wind-riding shoes, a second-level talisman pen given by Xu Qiuhui, and dozens of second-level talisman papers.

Then there were his plunders, which mainly included:

More than 21,000 spiritual stones and various basic supplies worth tens of thousands.

The more high-end ones were the second-level low-grade Frost Sword, two second-grade spiritual herbs, and a low-quality foundation-building pill.

More than 20,000 spiritual stones and high-end supplies were easy to carry, and three intermediate storage bags were enough.

But there were too many other basic supplies, and it would not be easy to sell them in the future.

He thought about it, and the next morning, he headed towards the "Four Scenery Mountains". The Sijing Mountains are all wild and barren, located in the no-man's land between the Divine Sword Sect and the Hundred Beast Sect, and many robbers hide in it.

One of his puppets, Zhao Yi, who went to Zhaojia Town to pretend to be "Li An", hid here with a group of people.

It took Li An three days to finally confirm Zhao Yi's location, and then spent another half a month to find out the surrounding situation.

A month later, when Zhao Yi and his group were preparing to attack another mountain stronghold, Li An secretly helped them to successfully capture it and threw a large amount of basic supplies into the warehouse of this mountain stronghold.

After all, it would be inappropriate for Zhao Yi to get so many supplies inexplicably in the mountain stronghold.

The risk must be completely eliminated.

And in this way, the batch of supplies given by Li An can be "whitewashed".

Moreover, during the whole process, Zhao Yi did not meet Li An, and did not know that this was Li An's arrangement!

Even for him, this was just an idle move.

Let Zhao Yi develop, if he develops well in the end, Li An can also easily reap it in the future.

"What a pity, the side effects of the Blood and Flesh Furnace Technique are very large..."

Li An couldn't help but sigh.

In the past few years, he has become more and more familiar with the Blood and Flesh Furnace Technique. Although this technique is overbearing, its side effects are also terrible.

The master's control over the blood and flesh puppets is one-sided, but the existence of the blood and flesh puppets will also affect the master's mind and increase the risk of the master's obsession. The longer the time, the more obvious it will be.

Li An has already discovered that in the past few years, some gray dust has been produced in his spiritual platform.

If the spiritual platform is not connected to the life seed, he can hardly find this kind of thing.

When he breaks through the barrier and forms the elixir in the future, this kind of thing will cause a disaster!

But fortunately, he tried to mobilize the power of the life seed to dissolve it, and the speed of dissolution was almost just balanced with the speed of generation, making his spiritual platform pure.

In other words, he can only control the current two puppets.

If there are more, it will not be worth the loss!

Moreover, every time he "controls" the puppet, the speed of producing that kind of gray matter will also increase.

Therefore, first, we must control the number, and second, we must not use puppets until the critical moment.

As long as Li An does not actively activate it, the "demon seed" he left in the flesh and blood puppet's spiritual platform is like a dormant "virus" that will not show its effect on weekdays, and the puppet will be normal.

After doing all this, Li An left directly.

…

Half a month later.

Li An reappeared in front of Tianyang City.

This time, he looked like a poor middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples.

The entry inspection had been cancelled two years ago, leaving only a magic weapon hanging at the city gate, which is said to be able to illuminate the breath of the magic way.

Li An successfully entered the city, lingered in the city for a while, and then rented a residence at the end of "Anle Street".

Anle Street is very close to the "second-level spiritual vein" area, but it still belongs to the category of "civilian neighborhood". The "Wuyang Street" not far away opposite is generally much taller and more luxurious, belonging to the real second-level spiritual vein area.

Besides, Wuyang Street is the territory of a huge power - Treasure Pavilion!

When he was in Baihu City, Li An had dealt with the branch of Treasure Pavilion. In the previous four years, he inquired from many sources and gradually learned some information.

It seems that Treasure Pavilion has a close relationship with the royal family of Dali.

Besides, Treasure Pavilion is also the center where all kinds of rare materials gather.

This is Li An's goal!

Finding an opportunity to enter the Treasure Pavilion will give him the greatest chance of contacting the rare resources he needs!

In fact, as a casual cultivator, he has been practicing hard, relying on the life-nourishing immortality casting technique, and looking for auxiliary elixirs when he breaks through, Li An is not without the hope of forming a pill.

But what is formed in that way is most likely just a "real pill".

In his next life, Li An's goal is the golden pill!

After all, becoming a golden pill is a sure thing for the impact on the Nascent Soul in the future.

You have to look long-term!

Li An knew that in order to form a golden elixir, in addition to the support of spiritual root talent, some special resources were needed to lay a solid foundation.

The external manifestation of forming a golden elixir is the solidification of spiritual fluid, but in fact it is the first time that the Great Dao takes root in the body of the cultivator!

If a person is a proud child with a huge background, he will even take some spiritual medicine containing the aura of the Great Dao during the foundation-building stage, and it is almost certain that he will form a golden elixir.

Li An does not want that kind of thing, and that kind of spiritual medicine is probably not found in the entire Dali Dynasty.

What he wants is the "Tao Poison Medicine"!

Tao Poison Medicine, as the name suggests, does not contain the aura of the Great Dao, but contains the poison of the Great Dao!

This kind of spiritual medicine generally grows in places where the spiritual energy is disordered and the ground energy is turbid, so the spiritual energy will be very abundant, and it will also be infected with the turbid air of the Great Dao, thus forming a highly toxic.

But Li An knows that the Great Dao is originally chaotic, and among the thousands of turbid air, it can often contain a trace of the aura of the Great Dao, but it is almost impossible to purify it.

Therefore, Dao Poison Medicine is generally used as poison, and no one can use it for cultivation.

If it weren't for Li An's "Life Seed" which has the miraculous effect of detoxification, he would not dare to think of this kind of spiritual medicine, and most of the time he could only take the path of true elixir.

...

The Dao Poison Medicine is very rare, and secondly, it is very similar to ordinary poisonous spiritual medicine, and it is difficult to distinguish.

If he relies on collecting it by himself, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it depends purely on fate.

It is different when entering the Treasure Pavilion. Dao Poison Medicine is generally very spiritual, so it is often sent to auction houses, spiritual medicine stores and the like by herbalists as a rare medicine.

And the largest such force in Tianyang City is the Treasure Pavilion.

His target is the "treasure appraiser" in the Treasure Pavilion!

The treasure appraiser is responsible for appraising rare things sent from various channels. He has the widest contact surface and is the most convenient for him to find Dao Poison Medicine.

But there are only two channels to become a treasure appraiser:

One is to be selected by the Treasure Pavilion and cultivated from a young age. Generally, only orphans with great talent can be selected as seeds, but it is impossible for Li An.

The second is to get the recommendation of the current treasure appraiser and pass the assessment, which is also a way.

Li An chose the latter.

After inquiring for the past few years, he roughly figured out the situation of the Treasure Pavilion. Now there are ten ordinary treasure appraisers, three senior treasure appraisers, and one chief treasure appraiser.

And the oldest of the ten ordinary treasure appraisers, Song Mingzhang, lives in Wuyang Street in front.

…

In the following period of time, Li An stayed at home and made second-level talismans with the existing talisman pens and talisman paper at hand, while observing carefully.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.

One day, Li An walked to the "Yundao Tea House" on Wuyang Street.

When he entered the Yundao Tea House, the waiter came out to greet him. Li An found a quiet corner and sat down without raising his head, "Give me two pots of refreshing spiritual tea, the taste can be bitter!"

He took out a few books and buried his head in studying hard.
