Chapter 163 Huge Harvest
Yan State and Dali Empire might go to war.
Besides that, Li An couldn't think of any reason why the Jiang family stockpiled a large amount of supplies.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Now he was living a peaceful life in the Jiang family.
Once the war started, the Jiang family, as the overlord of Qingzhou on the border, would inevitably be deeply involved in the war, and Li An would inevitably be affected.
The most important thing is that although the Dali Dynasty was far weaker than Yan State, there was Shangguan Shengxian there!
What a fight.
If a real fight breaks out, ten Jiang families probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Shangguan Shengxian.
However, keeping these thoughts in his heart, he said, "Thank you, Brother Xinda, for reminding me. In this case, Wu will definitely be well prepared and live up to the Jiang family--"
After giving Jiang Xinda some benefits, Jiang Xinda left.
"I have to find a chance to go back to Baihu City to get something..."
At least I have to go before the war, so that if the war breaks out and the Jiang family is destroyed, he can run away.
But at present, the pressure is still on this pile of tasks.
On that day, he called together the guests of Xuanwu Hall and assigned tasks.
Although many guests were surprised, they did not have much objection after learning that the task volume of the entire Zhike Peak had increased.
"Shangqing Wu, my cultivation has fluctuated recently, and I urgently need to go into seclusion. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on tasks in a short period of time..."
A middle-aged man sitting on the left suddenly smiled and spoke.
This person was Feng Yuancheng.
He was supposed to be the Shangqing of this term, but was "airdropped" by Li An to seize power, so he has always been very cold to Li An and has never taken the initiative to visit Li An.
Li An also ignored him.
The two of them did not interfere with each other, and Li An had never touched him.
This time, he took the initiative to make trouble!
The Jiang family has rules. Although guests need to work for the Jiang family, they can go into seclusion and ignore worldly affairs at the critical moment of their cultivation.
Generally speaking, one can go into seclusion for one year every ten years. If you do not go into seclusion within a ten-year cycle, the length of seclusion can be accumulated for later use!
There are four people in Xuanwu Hall who can make talismans.
Li An, Feng Yuancheng, Zhang Meng, and Sun Jinxue.
But Sun Jinxue's main job is a puppeteer, and her level of talismans is very low, which can basically be ignored.
Feng Yuancheng and Zhang Meng are birds of a feather!
If these two people play badly together, it means that Li An will have to take on all the tasks alone.
In Feng Yuancheng's view, Li An will definitely not be able to handle it.
And this is the best time for them to tear down Li An's platform.
Li An's heart chilled, and he frowned and said, "Retreat at this time?"
"Wu Shangqing, this is the rule of the Jiang family!"
Feng Yuancheng sneered.
"Okay, I agree."
Li An spoke.
"That... my cultivation has also fluctuated a little, and I also need to retreat."
Zhang Meng followed immediately.
"Okay."
Li An's face became more gloomy.
...
After the meeting. "Do you have any ideas?"
Sun Jinxue frowned, she was a little worried that Li An could not handle it.
"It's okay, I'll find someone to help."
Li An said calmly.
In fact, he didn't plan to find anyone at all, after all, he couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to.
But what Feng Yuancheng and the others didn't expect was that in terms of making talismans... Li An alone could easily beat four or five ordinary talisman masters.
After all, Li An's success rate and spiritual awareness were far beyond ordinary people!
But doing so would expose part of Li An's true talisman making level.
However, this was acceptable.
After all, who among the Jiang family's guests didn't have some outstanding qualities? For a Yuanying family, this was nothing at all.
Immediately, Li An himself accepted all the talisman making materials, talisman pens, etc. given by the family.
The materials given by the Jiang family were sufficient. According to common sense, they were enough to make about 120 second-level talismans.
But for Li An, so many materials could make about 200!
It means that he can get the remaining 80!
It is equivalent to making a lot of money every month.
There are not many such opportunities!
Since the battle in Tianyang City, he has been poor until now. This is a good opportunity to accumulate wealth again.
For the next period of time, Feng Yuancheng and Zhang Meng really retreated, while Li An was frantically refining talismans.
In the first month, 107 pieces were successfully handed in!
"Huh? Brother Wu, you are very capable..."
Even Jiang Xinda was surprised when he came to collect the talismans.
He knew the situation here. Li An alone had such a high output in a month.
Li An had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. "Li An has tried his best, but there is still a little short. Please help me with a few good words..."
He handed Jiang Xinda a lot of spirit stones.
Jiang Xinda smiled and said, "It's okay. The gap is not big. The family should not say anything."
...
In this way, Li An has been under pressure for several consecutive months.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he is madly squeezing himself and can't last long.
Three months later.
"Mr. Ruoshi, why are you here in person!"
Li An respectfully welcomed a distinguished guest - Jiang Ruoshi.
The direct descendant of Jiang Ribai.
Jiang Ruoshi was dressed in brocade and looked arrogant. Even though he failed in the core seed selection, he was still a core figure of the Jiang family. He sat directly on the main seat, said nothing, tasted a sip of tea, and said to his servant:
"Aba, you also try this tea."
Li An hurriedly poured a cup for his servant.
"Master, this tea is really good."
Jiang Ruoshi nodded, "Since you like the tea here, come and ask Wu Shangqing for tea more often in the future."
Li An hurriedly said: "Eighth brother is here, Wu Qin welcomes you very much!"
After that, Jiang Ruoshi got up and left with Aba.
It looked strange, but Li An understood Jiang Ruoshi's intention very well.
He came here just to let Li An know Aba.
In the future, Ah Ba will come forward to coordinate some things with Li An, and most of these things are inconvenient for Jiang Ribai and Jiang Ruoshi to ask Li An to do directly!
Let a servant do it, and Jiang Ribai and Jiang Ruoshi will not be implicated in any problems.
Sure enough, Ah Ba came to the door the next day.
"Wu Shangqing, I have a favor to ask you to do,"
A Ba drank tea and handed over a stack of third-level talisman paper and a third-level talisman pen with a smile.
"Make as many offensive talismans as you can, such as third-level fire python talismans and gas explosion talismans--"
Li An's face changed slightly, "Eighth Master, Wu can't make third-level runes now..."
"It is said above that with Wu Shangqing's level, he is not far from the third-level talisman. Here, this is a third-grade fetal soul grass that nourishes spiritual consciousness, and the method of making these talismans."
A Ba handed another box to Li An, which was a medicinal material and several bamboo slips.
He patted Li An's shoulder, "It must be completed. In addition, this matter is only known to you and me, understand?" Li An hesitated repeatedly, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Wu will definitely try his best, but the success rate and quality cannot be guaranteed in the short term, please forgive me, Mr. Ba..." "Don't worry, you can spend as much as you want in the first three months, and you don't have to make a talisman..." Ah Ba left after saying that, and before leaving, he said, "I will come here regularly, I like your tea." After he left. Li An stared at the talisman paper and talisman pen, frowning. Obviously, this was a private job assigned by Jiang Ribai. No one in the family must know! Li An's performance of the second-level talisman made Jiang Ribai feel that Li An's real talisman making level was not low. Of course, the other party certainly didn't guess that Li An could actually make a third-level talisman now. So he gave Li An the aid of the fetal soul grass and the space to practice. "Jiang Ribai or Jiang Ruoshi must have used these talisman papers to do something shameful!" This is what Li An guessed. After all, if it is due to family needs, then just arrange it directly. There is no shortage of experts who can make third-level talismans in the Jiang family! But Jiang Ruoshi and others still found Li An because Li An is their man and has no foundation in the Jiang family. Finding Li An to make talismans will not be known to others. Moreover, Li An was supported by them and is easy to control. "Don't worry about him for now. It's a waste to not use the talisman paper that is delivered to the door--" Now Li An has no shortage of second-level talisman paper, but there is no third-level talisman paper! It's just right to take advantage of this opportunity to replenish it. He first made a third-level flying talisman! He has the best foundation in this. In just the first month, he made twelve flying talismans, which greatly filled his storage bag. In the second month, he began to focus on gas explosion talismans and fire python talismans. The gas explosion talisman can directly detonate the air within a radius of ten miles when it is activated, which is equivalent to the attack of a Jindan cultivator. It is very powerful and is basically a sure kill for those below the Jindan stage. It belongs to a range killing talisman.
The fire python talisman, as the name suggests, can burst out a powerful flame. The strength of the flame can threaten Jindan cultivators. Although the range is not as large as the gas explosion talisman, it is more aggressive!
They are all top-notch third-level talismans.
The only thing Li An can rely on is his experience in his previous life, as well as the powerful consciousness and pure spiritual power in this life.
After the second month, Li An consumed countless talisman papers, but only refined two or three inferior gas explosion talismans.
He embezzled two and only showed Ah Ba one, but Ah Ba was already quite satisfied.
In the third month, Li An successfully made three genuine gas explosion talismans and four inferior gas explosion talismans. He gave Ah Ba one genuine one and three inferior ones, and Ah Ba was even happier!
…
In this way, in the blink of an eye, a year passed.
"Twenty third-level flying talismans, ten scattered spirit talismans, fifteen gas explosion talismans, fifteen fire python talismans... In addition, there are more than three hundred second-level talismans!"
Li An looked at the harvest in the storage bag, feeling full of security!
Now, even if he faces a Jindan cultivator, Li An is no longer embarrassed like before.
Relying on these talismans, he will definitely not be able to beat the Jindan cultivator, but there is basically no problem in escaping!
"It's good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade..."
He couldn't help but sigh.
This is the foundation of the Yuanying family. With the resources provided by the Zhendan cultivator, he can also make a fortune.
In the past year, there have been many rumors about the war between Yan State and Dali.
Li An made many friends in the Jiang family, so he heard some rumors.
It seems that this war was initiated by the Jiang family.
The Jiang family's target is the northern border of Dali, or part of the northern border of Dali.
Ten thousand feet abyss!
Li An thinks this news is very likely.
The opportunity in the Wanzhang Abyss, even for a Yuanying family like the Jiang family, it is impossible not to be tempted.
If you want to get it, you must first take the land in the north of Dali, so that you can slowly explore and develop it...
"Wu Shangqing,"
That day, Ah Ba came again. After Li An handed in the talisman, Ah Ba said: "The young master will go to Dali next month. You are more familiar with the situation there. You should prepare and go with the young master--"
Li An's heart moved.
Jiang Ruoshi is going to Dali...
He didn't care much about Jiang Ruoshi's purpose, but when he went back to Dali, maybe he could take the opportunity to get the top-grade Yuanling Pill back!
