Chapter 140 The Situation Begins

Half a month later, Li An successfully returned to the main pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

On the way, he also went to the location of the Crocodile Pond and took out several treasures he had buried there before.

The third-grade spiritual medicine Green Light Grass, the third-grade refining jade, and two second-grade refining materials.

When he came to White Tiger City, Qin Xuan wanted to kill him, but was defeated by Li An, and these things also fell into Li An's hands.

They have been hidden until now.

Now that Qin Xuan and Gu Caier are gone, no one will ask about these things, so it is very safe.

Entering Tianyang City, the residence remains the same.

His "Zuo Mansion" has been managed by servants for many years and has never been occupied.

When he returned today, many people in the city heard the news and came to congratulate him.

The chief treasure appraiser of the Treasure Pavilion is considered a "big man" even in the entire Tianyang City. Many foundation-building and immortal cultivation forces in the city have come to make friends with him.

Cai Chao, the former owner of Yundao Teahouse, passed away more than ten years ago. His son Cai Bin inherited the restaurant and also came to make friends.

Song Mingzhang's granddaughter Song Qingqing has been married to a foundation-building family for more than ten years.

Although Li An was far away in Baihu City at that time, he still asked someone to send a gift. With Li An's strong relationship, Song Qingqing's status in her husband's family was also very high. She was already a "young mistress" and virtuous.

If Song Mingzhang knew about it, he would rest in peace.

Even Gu Hong came to visit. After many years, her face remained the same, but the vicissitudes of life in her eyes became more and more intense. She gave Li An a second-grade elixir as a way to make friends.

Li An was very indifferent to her and still did not reveal his identity.

Many guests were received.

…

The next day, Li An went to the Treasure Pavilion.

"Master Zuo, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Led by a steward, Li An walked into the new Pavilion Master's room. A young, beautiful and bright woman sat behind a desk. Seeing Li An coming, she stood up enthusiastically, "Please sit down--"

She is the new Pavilion Master Su Xiuwan.

Her appearance is no less than Qin Xuan in the past, and she is younger, more charming and more beautiful than Qin Xuan back then!

Moreover, according to what Li An knows, Su Xiuwan and the Third Princess are still "best friends", but she has become the new "lover" of King Jingbei and is trusted by the palace.

She must be the Third Princess's man!

A true member of the Demon Cult.

You must be careful when dealing with this person.

Li An bowed respectfully, "I pay my respects to the Pavilion Master!"

"I originally wanted to guard the White Tiger City for the Treasure Pavilion with my body of rotten wood until the end of my life, but I never thought that I would be promoted by the Pavilion Master. I am very grateful, very grateful..."

"Master Zuo is too polite."

Su Xiuwan smiled slightly, "By the way, before becoming the chief, there is a procedure to go through..."

"The Wangfu needs to check the chief to ensure that the chief candidate is clean. Master Zuo doesn't mind, right?"

Li An knew this.

The Wangfu's level of power naturally has strict laws and regulations. Every person who holds an important position needs to be checked unless they know the ins and outs of the person, so as not to be infiltrated by the enemy.

"Okay."

Su Xiuwan clapped her hands, and immediately, a white-haired old man walked in. He had a kind face: "Chief Zuo, please close your eyes and rest——"

Li An glanced at the old man and closed his eyes obediently.

He was already alert in his heart... because he had encountered the life breath of this white-haired old man before!

The person who brought the mysterious demonic energy into his body!

It was him.

But he remained motionless and waited quietly.

He felt the old man's hand touching his Dantian, sensing the breath in his Dantian.

Li An's life-nourishing immortal art was running, and under the activation of the life seed, the Yin-Yang demonic energy, the flesh-blood demonic energy and other auras in his Dantian were dormant.

But he did not cover up the mysterious demonic energy.

Because he had been trying to make the enemy think that he did not know the existence of the mysterious demonic energy. If he could cover it up now, it would be exposed.

Also, although he had refined most of the demonic energy, if he did not actively control it, the demonic energy would be exactly the same as before, and others would not be able to see it.

Behind the Dantian is the spirit platform!

These two places are the most important and fundamental parts of a cultivator.

Li An felt that his spirit platform was being spied on!

Just like when he was checked by White Tiger Master. He couldn't help thinking, this might be the key point.

Check his Yuan Ling, see if he has been possessed by someone, etc.

In the soul fire, Li An's own Yuan Ling sat cross-legged, motionless.

After a long time.

"Okay,"

The old man smiled slightly, "No problem."

"Congratulations, Chief Zuo--"

The old man said, then told Su Xiuwan about the situation and left.

"From today on, Master Zuo will officially take up the position of Chief. Xiuwan is new here and is not familiar with many things in the pavilion. She still relies on Chief Zuo for guidance."

Su Xiuwan smiled and walked to Li An naturally, took out a badge, and helped Li An pin it on his chest.

The badge was made of second-grade exotic gold, with an eagle head pattern, and wearing it can make the cultivator clear-headed.

It is the chief's exclusive thing!

"Zuo Wending did his best!"

Li An spoke gratefully.

...

Back home. "Sure enough, he is very cautious..."

The owner of the mysterious demonic energy obviously attaches great importance to Li An.

When he returned from Baihu City, the owner of the mysterious demonic energy also suspected that he would change, so he personally tried to test him.

"The target of Baihu Mountain is the palace..."

"But the owner of this mysterious demonic energy is from the lineage of the Third Princess, and the palace does not know the existence of the mysterious demonic energy owner."

Li An keenly sensed the opposition.

There are three forces fighting openly and secretly!

The first is the Baihu Mountain Demon Cult.

The second is the Palace Demon Cult!

The third is the Demon Cult of the Third Princess!

According to Li An's current judgment, Baihu Mountain and the Palace are enemies of each other.

But it is very likely that...both parties do not know the situation of the Demon Cult of the Third Princess.

The owner of the mysterious demonic energy is the most sinister...

The Palace wants to deal with Baihu Mountain, and Baihu Mountain also wants to deal with the Palace. In this case, the lineage of the Third Princess is actually the most terrifying.

"We need to test the relationship between the Third Princess' lineage and the palace..." Li An pondered. He is now caught between several forces and has become a chess piece. He must figure out the inclinations and interests of all parties. Only in this way can he develop himself with ease and avoid harm. ... And at this moment. In a secret room in Tianyang City. "Li An is a thoughtful and cautious man. I have said that even if he has been in Baihu City for decades, he should not be discovered by Baihu Mountain..."

The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Man said respectfully: "Now you can rest assured."

In front of him, there was a faint blood shadow, which looked like a woman. She said faintly:

"He was indeed not discovered. His Yuan Ling has not changed. The Qi I left behind is still in his body, and it is getting stronger."

"It seems that my sister is still stupid and cute. The natural demon body is right in front of her, but she missed it..."

There seems to be some sneer in her eyes, "But it's good. If she finds out about the natural demon body, there will be a lot of trouble."

"What will happen if she knows that Li An is a natural demon body?" The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Man asked. "She will directly use the Yuanling Honglu Gong to take over Li An's body." The woman said calmly, "No one can resist the temptation of a natural demon body..."

The Soul-seeking Horse-face nodded, "Next, we just need to wait for Li An to reach the Jindan realm..."

He couldn't help but reveal a hint of hope in his eyes.

He practiced two magic skills, which made his own state very dangerous.

Only after this senior obtains a natural demon body... can he be saved.

"Let Su Xiuwan keep a close eye on Li An for me, and report every move to me at any time..."

The woman said, and then suddenly said: "Li Xiaoyuan got that Jindan female cultivator thirty years ago, right?"

"Three Yang and One Yin Gong, counting the days, he should also plan to impact the Yuanying."

"My silly sister will probably attack him, but she doesn't know that King Jingbei is just a bait I casually gave him."

"When the time comes... collect the demon body and clear the door, do it all at once."

...
