Chapter 182 Xiang Yuntian is sincere and does not deceive me

After returning to Lingyun Mountain, Li An immediately checked the surroundings. Everything was the same as before. There were still fierce battle sounds coming from the depths of the mountains.

This war was not over yet.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

One was in the late Zhendan stage, and the other was in the early Zhendan stage. All the storage bags and rings on the bodies were taken off. After a rough scan, Li An found a lot of marked items, but he didn't care this time. He didn't throw anything away and took them all!

He was only worried that these two people would have too precious treasures. In that case, he would have to consider framing Xiang Yuntian.

After all, if people knew that any treasure fell into his hands, there might be some trouble.

But although the two people had a lot of good things, they were all within the normal range of the Zhendan realm.

So it was normal to take them all. After all, he participated in this battle and didn't get any spoils. Wouldn't that be more strange? More noticeable?

Besides, many people will surely die in this war. The two camps of Lord Baishan and Lord Jieshan will face off, and there will be casualties on both sides. If he gains something, no one will pay special attention to him.

It's just that he has carefully screened the things in his dead puppet and the storage bag ring, and destroyed all the marked ones.

After all, in his plan, this dead puppet was chasing Xiang Yuntian, and the things appeared on him, which was a big flaw.

It was quite regrettable for Li An that these two real Dan corpses could only be wasted.

The magic power can plunder the Taiyin Qi, blood and flesh power, etc. in the corpse.

But in that case, if the corpse is destroyed, he will be exposed, so he has to ignore it.

After collecting the spoils, Li An put away all the several formations he had set up to avoid being discovered.

Only the one on Lingjing Peak was left!

Just like that, he no longer tried to hide, and just hid on Lingjing Peak, waiting quietly...

...

Until the dawn of the next day, the battle finally came to an end. Many cultivators also fled from Lingyun Mountain, but they had no intersection with Li An.

Li An sensed the escape of these people and had guessed the outcome.

The Lord of Baishan should have won a great victory!

...

At dusk on the first day, someone finally arrived here.

"A late Zhendan and an early Zhendan died here?"

The people who came were Zhou Libai and his wife. They were quite shocked when they saw the traces and corpses on the battlefield.

Li An opened the Lingjing Peak formation, walked out, and said:

"Two Daoists, you are finally back--"

And seeing that Li An was still alive, the two were even more surprised. They looked at each other and quickly landed on Lingjing Peak.

"Daoyou Lin, what... is going on?"

Zhou Libai asked, while looking at Li An. Li An's breath was disordered and his face was a little pale. It seemed that he was seriously injured!

"Last night, someone attacked from the Black Leaf Forest. I was in seclusion at the time. Fortunately, Daoist Xiang Yuntian discovered it in time. He roared and shook the mountains..."

Li An began to narrate.

According to his description, it was Xiang Yuntian who discovered the enemy, and then the enemy sent three True Dan cultivators to attack Lingyun Mountain.

After a fierce battle, Li An hid in Lingjing Peak, relying on the third-level formation he set up to protect himself.

As a result, Xiang Yuntian was very fierce and killed two people in a row. He was also seriously injured. He was chased by another True Dan mid-stage cultivator and fled and disappeared...

After hearing this, Zhou Libai and the others were stunned!

"Xiang Yuntian, it turns out to be so powerful..."

Ba Jijian couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Xiang Yuntian's combat power is indeed against the sky. With the cultivation of the True Dan mid-stage, he can kill the True Dan late stage and severely injure the True Dan mid-stage, which is very remarkable.

The key is that cultivators like Xiang Yuntian are too poor, so they basically have no magic weapons, talismans, and other external objects.

All they rely on is their own sword!

"This man is really vicious..."

Zhou Libai also spoke, her beautiful eyes moving, but she was staring at Li An, saying: "Fellow Daoist Lin, according to what you said, Xiang Yuntian escaped in a hurry, and the other person chased him urgently. Then the storage rings on the two bodies..."

They have already checked, and they were all taken away.

Li An shook his head, "I don't know, maybe Xiang Yuntian took them all in the chaos--"

Zhou Libai cursed inwardly, and guessed that the things on the two real Dan cultivators were mostly taken by Li An, and she couldn't help but feel jealous for a while.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, how is the demonization event going?"

Li An continued to ask.

"Don't mention it!" Zhou Libai sighed, extremely disappointed: "The people of the mountain master Jie came to kill us. We had arranged an ambush, but many of them still rushed straight to the demon transformation pool, causing chaos. In the chaos, the demon transformation flower prepared for Master Taixi disappeared." "Master Taixi was also seriously injured. Now the demon transformation cannot be carried out. Several cultivators who are proficient in spiritual beast treatment are recuperating Master Taixi, but it is said that if he wants to recover, he may need special spiritual blood and spiritual objects..." This is exactly why she envied Li An very much. She went to find Jiang Ribai, paid a great price, sacrificed her body, and entered the core of this grand plan, knew the whole picture, and participated in it. If successful, the reward will be very rich! She will have the contribution of replacing the third-class spiritual vein, and can even exchange one or two fourth-level items from the mountain master. The result... It all collapsed! The mountain master was furious. Jiang Ribai, the host of the whole plan, was punished. The couple was also implicated and their contributions were deducted. They had to return to Lingyun Mountain.

On the contrary, Li An was doomed to die, but Xiang Yuntian, a madman, stepped forward and picked up the resources of two True Dan cultivators...

The ending was quite infuriating!

After listening to it, Li An was also quite surprised...

He had predicted that the Jie Mountain Master would most likely fall into the trap and pay a heavy price, while the Bai Mountain Master would win a great victory.

Although the Jie Mountain Master suffered heavy casualties in the end, his goal was achieved.

"No..."

Li An recalled his memory of the "dead puppet"!

The middle-stage True Dan puppet he refined was named Wang Zhongxian. At that time, Li An focused on searching for two pieces of information.

One was Wang Zhongxian and others' plan for this sneak attack.

The second is the news about the fourth-level talisman master from the Lord of Jie Mountain. After all, Li An had already heard that there was a fourth-level talisman master from the Lord of Jie Mountain. If the other party participated in this battle, Li An might be able to take advantage of the situation and kill the other party.

But according to Wang Zhongxian's memory, the talisman master seemed to be hit by the "soul evil", so he had been in seclusion for many years and had not participated in this battle.

But the first point is that Wang Zhongxian knew the exact location of the demon pool for this sneak attack...

This is not right!

After all, if the Lord of Bai Mountain only designed to lure the people of the Lord of Jie Mountain, he would definitely not reveal the real location of the demon pool to the Lord of Jie Mountain. It was either concealed or misled.

Why did Wang Zhongxian and others know the real and accurate location?

If not, the demon pool would not be affected, and the transformation of Tailizard into a demon would most likely succeed.

"Is there a traitor?!"

Li An's heart moved.

There is an insider who told the real news to the Lord of Jie Mountain...

This is very likely.

But this cannot be confirmed.

"Brother Lin, we'll take our leave first--"

The two left and returned to Lingdong Peak.

...

The next day, Jiang Ribai personally came to Lingyun Mountain to investigate the matter.

--After all, another reason for the failure this time was that the enemy was discovered in the Black Leaf Forest, causing the enemy to advance at full speed and head straight to the Demon Pond. Many of the ambush methods they prepared could not be used, and the ambush became an encounter battle.

Li An reported everything according to what he said yesterday.

Jiang Ribai traced all the way and finally found traces of fighting in a mountain forest not far from Tiansha City.

Sure enough, it was Xiang Yuntian and the middle-stage True Dan cultivator.

This proved that what Li An said was true.

"Xiang Yuntian... you fucking ruined my big plan!"

Jiang Ribai looked towards the direction where Xiang Yuntian ran away, full of hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiang Yuntian will probably never return to Tiansha Mountains after running away like this. He wants to find it, but he doesn't know where to find it...

...

After Jiang Ribai's investigation, Li An finally felt relieved.

After thinking carefully, there should be no flaws.

In the cave, Li An opened the storage bags, storage rings, etc. that he had gained from this battle!

After counting, he found that he had gained a lot this time!

In the storage ring of a late-stage True Dan cultivator, Li An found two third-level special spiritual medicines, which contained the energy of Taiyin!

There was also a fourth-grade spiritual medicine - Xuanyin spiritual grass!

This is one of the raw materials for "Hua Ying Dan"!

This made Li An extremely excited. These three things are priceless, especially Xuanyin spiritual grass, which belongs to the Yuanying level resource. You can't buy it even if you want to!

In addition:

There are eleven third-grade spiritual medicines in total.

Five third-grade magic tools, including two defensive ones.

Seven third-grade refining materials, including four heterogeneous metals.

Several third-grade pills, including five Fuyuan pills, seven Qingsha pills, and five Zifu pills. The Zifu pill can be used to increase the speed of cultivation in the Jindan realm.

In addition, there are more than 30 third-grade talismans.

A total of more than 90,000 medium-grade spirit stones and more than 40,000 low-grade spirit stones.

There are also some miscellaneous resources.

Li An was quite happy. This harvest can allow him to practice without worries for many years.

He couldn't help but think of Xiang Yuntian. With that guy's combat power, even the late Zhendan was not enough for him to kill. How rich should he be to be a robbery cultivator, killing people and robbing goods? How could he fall to the point where he couldn't even afford a Qingsha pill...

This kind of person is probably educated too well and still persists in this dangerous world.

It's just that he is prone to short life.

If it weren't for Li An, how could he be alive.

Li An prepared to continue his retreat.

"Fellow Daoist Lin——"

Outside, Zhou Libai's voice sounded again.

Li An walked out.

Zhou Libai smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, the mountain master has issued a mission to attack the mountain master Jie. My husband and I are going to go. Do you want to go with us?"

Li An refused immediately after hearing this.

"My injury has not healed yet. If I go now, I will only hold everyone back. I will not participate in this matter."

What a joke. Now I have the resources and the spiritual veins, but I still go out to fight and kill... I am afraid I am crazy.

I hate my life.

In fact, he can understand Zhou Libai and others. Unless they are alchemists, no one can stay in the Ding-level spiritual veins all the time. If they don't strive for contribution, the future will be bleak.

But it is different for Li An.

No need!

He just needs to ensure that he can stay in the Ding-level spiritual veins and not be expelled.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, the reward this time is very generous..." Zhou Libai wanted to say something.

Li An shook his head firmly: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, but Lin is determined not to go."

...

After Zhou Libai and his wife left.

Li An also thought about the situation.

The main reason for Baishan to attack the Lord of Jieshan was obviously revenge for the failure of Taixi to transform into a demon.

If you can avoid such a fight between big men, don't participate!

Just stay and practice slowly.

But there is one thing that has always worried him.

Jiang Ribai!

This man may have seen some clues about the Blue Flame Divine Bird at the beginning.

Now he is too busy to care about it. Will there be hidden dangers in the future?

It is better to find a chance to kill him.

"Taixi is injured..."

A plan slowly took shape in Li An's mind.

While there was no one in Lingyun Mountain, he slipped into a valley not far away.

This place is called "Hundred Flowers Valley", where many flowers grow, all year round, but the spirituality is not very strong, and the evil spirit is amazing, it is a bad place.

Except for the bees and butterflies that like flowers, few spiritual beasts come here.

After searching for a long time, he finally landed in front of a rose. After staying here for a long time, he passed many life-seed breaths into the soil at the root of the rose.

It won't be long before this ordinary rose will undergo a qualitative change...

Then, he carefully surveyed the surrounding geography and sensed the situation of the evil spirit in this place.

A killing situation has emerged in his mind.

But it will take time.

...

After returning to Lingjing Peak, he started to retreat directly.

He did not refine and absorb the three spiritual medicines containing the Taiyin Qi. This kind of thing is a strategic material. If he needs it in the future, it will be very convenient to take it out for exchange.

In addition to his daily practice, the most urgent thing now is to make pills!

Only if he quickly becomes a second-grade alchemist can he exchange contribution points by handing in pills.

Now he has a lot of spiritual medicines in his hands, plus the ones he purchases from outside, so he is not short of them for the time being.

"The fire is not enough, refine it a little more, the spiritual control is heavy..."

While he was making pills, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's voice sounded casually in his mind.

Li An's spiritual roots are much better than before, and with the guidance of this great master of magic, his alchemy skills have improved rapidly...

"Didn't you say that all kinds of cultivation are external things and not worth mentioning? You are quite proficient in alchemy..."

Li An couldn't help but speak.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "I liked to eat candy beans when I was a child. Can't I eat them as candy beans when I make pills?"

Li An: "..."

This is a bit hurtful. Just for making candy beans, she became a fourth or fifth-grade alchemist? Or even higher?

How many alchemists in the world would probably faint after hearing this.

...

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Li An's alchemy skills have reached the first grade, and first-grade pills are no problem for him.

Now, he can strive to become a second-grade alchemist!

That is, this month, the fight between Bai Shanzhu and Jie Shanzhu finally came to an end.

Bai Shanzhu sent people to attack Jie Shanzhu many times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

It is said that the two sides finally gave up after mediation by other mountain masters.

However, one thing surprised Li An, that is, Bai Shanzhu asked Jie Shanzhu for Tai Li's demon-transforming flower but failed. Jie Shanzhu claimed that he did not get the demon-transforming flower, but only gave other things as compensation.

It is generally believed that Jie Shanzhu did this on purpose to prevent Tai Li from transforming into a demon, after all, Tai Li's talent is too strong.

But Li An was wondering if there was really a third person who profited from it?

"Fellow Daoist Lin, now it seems that you are the wise one..."

Zhou Libai has returned, but she is left alone. Her husband, Ba Jijian, died at the hands of Jie Shanzhu and came to visit Li An today.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please accept my condolences--"

Li An comforted politely.

"It's no use to be sad."

Zhou Libai's eyes were not full of sadness. Her eyes were rolling. Although she was dressed decently, she had a charming look and a faint fragrance on her body. "Fellow Daoist Lin seems to be good at formations?"

She looked around Lingjing Peak.

"I bought it from the outside world."

"By the way, fellow Daoist Lin is a talisman master. Can you help me refine a few runes?"

She made a few simple requests, and Li An naturally agreed.

Zhou Libai left immediately and came back to get the talisman in a few days, and gave Lin An a generous reward.

In this way, Zhou Libai kept looking for Li An for half a month, either chatting or asking Li An for help. The two quickly became familiar with each other.

Li An has lived here for more than a year, and his interactions with her are not as many as in the fifteen days since her husband died.

Zhou Libai intentionally or unintentionally guided the topic, and the two of them were no longer unfamiliar with each other. She often joked with Li An.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is also quite good at making tea..."

She raised her teacup and smiled slightly, "Can you teach me?"

"I actually know nothing about the tea ceremony..."

"Then let's learn together, maybe we can learn a few more?" She smiled.

Li An just smiled.

He knew Zhou Libai's thoughts very well.

Ba Jijian died, but her butterfly still needed to be raised... so naturally she had to find a male cultivator.

Perhaps Li An is the most suitable candidate at the moment.

Li An is actually not afraid of her butterfly, and she can't hurt Li An at all. On the contrary, Li An can easily refine her into a furnace puppet and take away everything from her.

But there is no need, she is more useful to Li An!

"Brother Lin, we said more than a year ago that I would take a good look at your spirit bird when I have time. It's been so long now, can't you let me take a look?"

She stood up with a smile, walked behind Li An, put her jade hand on Li An's shoulder, and slowly moved down.

Li An took her hand away, stood up and said: "Daoyou, please respect yourself."

Zhou Libai was slightly stunned, her face was a little embarrassed and annoyed. Li An was so unromantic and ungrateful?

"Lin's cultivation is low, and I really don't have any feelings for his wife. Besides, your husband's body is still warm. If you and I act like this, how are we different from that beast?"

Li An spoke coldly.

He didn't want Zhou Libai to pester him anymore. Moreover, the subsequent plan was about to be implemented. It was also necessary to tear his face with Zhou Libai and keep a distance.

Zhou Libai gritted her teeth and stood there. A surge of hatred and anger rose in her heart, and said:

"Okay, okay, okay! Lin An, you are very good!"

After that, she flicked her sleeves and left. ...

On the third day.

She brought back a male cultivator from somewhere and let him live in Lingdong Peak without Li An's consent.

That night, she seemed to be very relaxed, and her voice shook the whole mountain.

Li An used a formation to block the sound from the outside world and said silently:

"As expected, you are a slut. Xiang Yuntian is sincere and never deceives me!"

...
