Chapter 162 Shang Qing

Many thoughts flashed through Li An's mind.

Tan Qingxue asked him if he knew about the evil spirit in the divine egg. Did he discover something?

But after thinking about it carefully, Li An felt that it was impossible!

The evil spirit was everywhere in the Wanzhang Abyss. It was impossible to verify whether the evil spirit was artificially injected or naturally infected. At that time, Li An gave the divine egg a trace of life seed energy to save its life. That trace of energy was also digested by the divine egg at that time, leaving no trace.

"Evil spirit? This Wu doesn't know..."

Li An asked in confusion: "Is the problem of the divine egg very serious now?"

Tan Qingxue remained calm, "Yes, the head of the family summoned me and the healers of the clan to discuss many times, but the vitality of the divine egg is too weak and it is forced by the evil spirit. It is already difficult to remove the evil spirit. If you want to completely save the divine egg, you need to find some magical life substances..."

"So that's it... Tan Shangqing took the trouble."

Li An said indifferently.

"By the way,"

Tan Qingxue suddenly continued, "Tan Xue has something that I would like to ask Wu Shangqing for help."

Li An hurriedly said, "Tan Shangqing, please speak."

"I have been suffering from insomnia and dreaming recently. I went to see the doctor in the hall. He said that my spirit and soul are exhausted. In addition to taking the medicine for soothing the soul, it is best to use some 'Ningpo Fu' with it."

She smiled, "Wu Shangqing can help?"

Li An said, "Okay, how many does Tan Shangqing need?"

"Three or five will be enough."

Li An nodded, "Wu will do his best. When the runes are refined another day, they will be delivered to Tan Shangqing immediately."

"Wu will not bother you any more——"

He stood up and said goodbye.

Watching him leave, Tan Xue was thoughtful for a long time. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, whispering, "Why are you in a daze when you see me?"

She was thinking back.

When Li An first came in and saw her, although he was only slightly stunned, it did not escape her eyes.

"An acquaintance? But I haven't sensed a familiar aura. Besides, who of my acquaintances can still live today? The northern part of Dali is in turmoil. Qiu Hui and the others are all gone..." She whispered, as if she was a little emotional, and then a clear light flashed in her eyes, "You think so?" I don't know who she was talking to. But after a long time, she suddenly said, "Maybe, there is another person who is smart and cautious... Wu Shangqing, he is also from Dali..." ... Walked out of Tan Mansion. Li An was still alert. In fact, he had no interest in what adventures Tan Qingxue had. Even if they had had physical contact and deep communication, so what? When they met again, they were just like strangers. But he didn't want to reveal any clues in front of the other party. "Ningpo Fu..." He suspected that Tan Qingxue deliberately asked him to refine this, was she testing him? After all, the White Tiger Hall will not lack talisman masters. Besides, Tan Qingxue was originally a talisman maker. Now she has reached the late stage of foundation building. Will she not be able to refine the Ningpo talisman?

Moreover, the Ningpo talisman belongs to the second-level special talisman, which can play the role of calming the soul and calming the mind. Generally, few people use it.

When refining this kind of talisman, Li An's soul will also participate. If he is a master with a sufficient realm, he can even infer the soul breath of the talisman maker from the talisman.

The appearance can be changed, but how to conceal the soul breath?

But Li An is not worried about this.

His life seed is ever-changing. After the first branch is connected to the spirit platform, he can even conceal his own soul breath!

These Ningpo talismans must be refined for Tan Qingxue.

After all, he is now a second-level talisman master and the Shangqing of Xuanwu Hall. It is unreasonable that he cannot refine these talismans.

Not refining them will make the other party more suspicious.

"Have you found anything special about her?"

After returning to his residence and closing the door, Li An had an idea and asked Shangguan Xiaoxiao in his spiritual platform.

"You don't listen to me, why ask me?"

Shangguan Xiaoxiao's Yuan Ling folded her hands, as if she felt proud.

Since entering Li An's spiritual platform, she has never received the "respect" she deserves!

When Li An was hiding in the stinking ditch outside Tianyang City, she persuaded Li An countless times to leave, but Li An insisted on doing so for twenty-two years, and she almost despaired of herself.

Facing the opportunity of the Wanzhang Abyss, she analyzed Li An in various ways, but he turned around and left.

Even in the middle, she wanted to refine her directly...

Now, she finally found the opportunity.

"Say it or not?"

Li An asked coldly. "I hope you understand that life needs to be valuable. If it is not valuable, then there is no need to live." His words were calm and threatening: "You think your sister exists, so I need you, but I can run away, escape from Yan State, escape from Xiling Yuanzhou, and even escape from this Diyuan Realm. At that time, what value do you have to me?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao was indeed stunned when she heard this. If Li An said this before, she would only ridicule and not care. But now... She thinks Li An is probably serious! This guy is really a dog. For safety, he must have done something that took decades to escape, and escaped to a place hundreds of billions of miles away. She has seen it. After twenty-two years in the stinking ditch, she finally had a slightly correct understanding of Li An-Li An is a person who cherishes his life extremely. "You are such a good Li Gou..."

She cursed angrily, and then said: "... That woman is no longer a human being."

Li An frowned, "Not a human being? What is it?"

"There is no conclusion yet. It may become a demon or a demon. Let's see how the thing in her body finally takes shape..."

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said: "In short, stay away from her. She wants to kill you like killing an ant."

Li An: "..."

He sighed.

Cause and effect are chaotic and unpredictable. In this vast world of immortal cultivation, anything can happen. Tan Qingxue was just a mediocre and simple-minded talisman master, and was left far behind by everyone.

Dugu's death is her only ending.

Unexpectedly, when Mu Qingwan, Zhao Xianchuan, Wang Dazhu, Xu Qiuhui and other immortal cultivators with their own strengths turned into dust, she was still alive, and she had unimaginable luck?

Of course, whether it was luck or disaster, it might be difficult to tell for a while.

However, Li An was very calm in his heart. Whether she was dead or alive, weak or strong, Li An would just treat her as a passerby!

It was once and it is still now.

Li An didn't care what she came to the Jiang family for. He kept his distance and didn't let other things interfere with his Dan-forming path. That was it.

…

In the next few days, Li An first bought the herbs that Sun Jinxue needed and sent them to her.

For this, Sun Jinxue seemed happy and excited. That night, she made a lot of wine and food by herself. The man and woman invited Li An to dinner to express their gratitude.

However, she grasped it very well. Nothing happened that day. She just guided the atmosphere to a suitable moment and then sent Li An away.

Step by step.

Li An knew this very well, but he didn't care.

Sun Jinxue needed him as a backer. With him, she might have a much better life in the Jiang family in the future. And he also needed confidants and a base in Xuanwu Hall. Sun Jinxue was sensible and had brains, which could be used by Li An. Each of us takes what he needs, and takes his time.

Then, Li An took a few more pieces of talisman paper from the hall and made talismans for Tan Qingxue.

Four days later.

Li An came again and knocked on the door of Tan's house.

"Wu Shangqing is here, the master is in the study, and said you can go directly there--"

The door servant said respectfully.

Li An went to the study, and just as he arrived at the study, he heard a burst of flirting between a man and a woman.

"Oh, it's so hard to draw talismans, I draw them crookedly, is it because I don't have talent?"

Tan Qingxue's voice.

"It's not hard, come, I'll hold your hand and teach you, right? Don't be afraid, right... Slow down, slow down, just a little bit to succeed!"

Another clear male voice sounded, and there was a trace of excitement in this male voice, like a man who has been pursuing a goddess for a long time and is suddenly excited by the opportunity given by the goddess.

Li An's heart moved, and he waited outside the door for a long time.

Some memories came to mind. When he and Tan Qingxue were in Qingyang Market, they were like fish in water and inseparable. They did a lot of such things. When they drew talismans together in the study, Li An also held her hand and guided her to do some absurd things... But that was all in the past.

He became alert in his heart.

Was Tan Qingxue doing this on purpose for Li An to see?

After a long time.

"Drawing talismans is really tiring. My waist is sore after standing for so long..."

Tan Qingxue's voice of coquettish complaint sounded.

The man stammered: "I, I'll rub it for you?"

"No need... By the way, I have an appointment today."

After the voice fell, the door of the study opened.

"Wu Shangqing, when did you come..."

Tan Qingxue seemed very surprised, and her bright eyes stared at Li An's eyes, but Li An's eyes were only calm, without any ripples, and he bowed slightly:

"Wu sent talismans for Tan Shangqing--"

He handed over a few talismans. Tan Qingxue took it and looked at it carefully. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she still said, "Thank you, Shangqing Wu. This is my reward for you."

She gave him a storage bag.

Li An took it calmly and said with a smile, "I won't bother you anymore."

After that, he said goodbye and left.

Tan Qingxue watched him leave, but there was no longer the expectation she had last time. There was only a kind of indifference and disappointment in her eyes.

He listened to the voice in the room, and there was no fluctuation. Looking at his spirit again, he was not the old friend she imagined.

Why bother? Perhaps, it was just the stunned look when Li An saw her, the coincidence from Dali, and the talisman he gave her... that aroused a trace of unwillingness in her heart, so she tried so strangely.

There was no need at all!

She smoothed out the ripples in her heart. "Xue, I will continue to teach you how to draw talismans... Take a break this time, okay?"

The talisman master beside her looked quite young, with hope and expectation in his eyes.

"I'm tired, Chen Lin, you go back."

Tan Qingxue said lightly.

Chen Lin's face changed slightly, "Xue'er..."

"Master Chen, although I don't care about the difference in status, it's more appropriate for you to call me Shangqing, right?"

Tan Qingxue did not hide the trace of disgust between her eyebrows, "Send the guest away."

Talisman Master Chen Lin was asked to leave the Tan Mansion, he was ashamed and angry.

What happened?

"Wu Qin!"

Finally, he clenched his fists and looked towards the direction of Xuanwu Hall with hatred in his eyes!

Everything was going so smoothly, it was all because of Wu Qin's arrival, ruining his good deeds.

Moreover, he could obviously refine the Ningpo Talisman by himself, but Tan Shangqing actually went to Wu Qin?

"Today, I, Chen Lin, am in a lower position than others, but in the future... I may not always be just an ordinary guest official, and I may not be worse off than Wu Qin!"

He flicked his sleeves and turned away.

...

Back to Xuanwu Hall.

Li An felt that after this incident, Tan Qingxue would not do these meaningless things again.

His guess was correct. The next period of time was very peaceful, and there was almost no excessive interaction between him and Tan Qingxue.

...

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

In five years, Li An thrived in Xuanwu Hall.

It was mainly because his backer was too powerful in the past few years!

Since Jiang Ribai welcomed Ruoli back to his ancestral home, he has become the most powerful among the four True Dan elders.

Ruoli did not live up to her talent. Her practice of beast control was advancing by leaps and bounds. Although she started late, she was already a recognized genius in the Jiang family. In five years, she had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, almost a small step every year.

She and Erniu came to see Li An once.

Li An used to be their master, but now their status is very different. When they meet, Li An can only call her Miss and bow to her.

She still calls Li An Master, and returns the courtesy of a disciple, and gives Li An some gifts.

This makes Li An quite sentimental. It is rare that Ruoli can still maintain a simple and sincere attitude in the Jiang family.

After all, he has seen too many people who have gone from being poor to being rich, and then become arrogant after success. The kindness and simplicity that once accompanied the weak will also disappear.

It is precisely because of the above that Li An lives a peaceful life.

This year, there is news in the family that the head of the family seems to have some problems with his cultivation and may have to go into seclusion. At that time, Jiang Ribai will be the first person to preside over the major events of the family, and Li An will be smoother.

It can be said that Li An now has the environment for Dan formation!

But he cannot form Dan now.

First, when he entered the Jiang family, his cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building, and he suddenly wanted to form a pill, which made people suspicious. It took time to make this process reasonable.

Second, he needed a "Yuanling Pill" in plain sight.

He certainly couldn't let people know that he had a top-grade Yuanling Pill and needed to hide it!

However, fortunately, the Jiang family was large and powerful. Although Yuanling Pill was a core strategic material, inferior pills were within reach!

Li An planned to save up for a few years and buy a "low-grade Yuanling Pill" from the Jiang family to make a pill. In this way, the Jiang family would be more assured of him.

Secretly, he used the top-grade Yuanling Pill to make a pill. After he made a pill, it was done and he was not afraid of people having bad intentions.

"Shangqing, aren't you still in seclusion?"

In the morning, Sun Jinxue and Li An got up together. She felt that Li An's cultivation was already able to impact the late stage of foundation building.

Moreover, Li An already had the assistance of Chongling Pill.

"That's right. I'll go into seclusion tomorrow." Li An smiled slightly. Pretend to break through to the late stage of foundation building. After success, spend another 20 to 30 years to lay the groundwork and pretend to cultivate to the great perfection of foundation building. At that time, you can almost buy inferior Yuanling pills from the Jiang family. Great plans are expected! The next day, Li An began to retreat. Three months later. Li An officially came out of seclusion, and his strength also entered the late stage of foundation building. "This is the task issued by the family this month-" Shortly after coming out of seclusion, the family steward had arrived and gave him the task list for this month. The family directly contacted Shangqing to assign tasks. As for how to arrange in the hall, it was Shangqing Li An's own business. Li An took the letter and frowned, "Brother Xinda, how come the amount of talismans, magic tools, and pills this month has increased so much? It's four times the previous amount!" The steward's name is Jiang Xinda. Li An often deals with him. After taking the initiative to make friends with him, the two have a close relationship and call each other brothers. Jiang Xinda smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't blame me. It's not just Xuanwu Hall, the White Tiger and Blue Dragon Halls are the same."

He said slowly, "For the sake of our friendship, Brother Wu, I'll give you another tip. It may be the same in the future... and it may increase."

Li An's heart moved.

Although Li An is a senior minister, his status is different. He is not qualified to know some secrets in the family.

On the contrary, Jiang Xinda is the core manager of the family and may know more than Li An.

The Jiang family suddenly needs a lot of materials, and it continues to increase... This is a crazy reserve.

Generally, there is only one possibility for such reserve!

War!

Because war consumes a huge amount of materials!

The more preparations are made in advance, the more abundant they will be when the war comes.

But in the whole Yan State, the Jiang family has no enemies. In Qingzhou, the Jiang family is the overlord and no one can challenge it.

Unless...

Is there going to be a war between Yan State and Dali Dynasty?

This thought suddenly flashed through Li An's mind!

...
