Chapter 187

As Li An guessed, Longyu Gorge was very quiet, and no enemy came to attack.

His formation was still open.

He sneaked back to the cave along the river, put away the puppet, and then walked out.

"The battle should be over, right?"

He asked.

"It should be soon. We are safe here... It's a pity that we didn't participate in this battle. The contribution points we can get are very low."

The other two cultivators were full of emotion. They guarded this place and could get very few contribution points.

...

After the battle, Li An and others did not disperse immediately.

It seemed that Master Jie was crazy, constantly attacking Master Bai's territory, and many battles at the master level broke out again.

Li An heard that Master Jie suffered a great loss this time!

His attack failed, and many people and horses were lost. Tai Xi Yaozi successfully transformed into a demon.

In addition, Lord Baishan also sent another team to attack Lord Jie's lair when Lord Jie came out in full force. It is said that Lord Jie's top-grade blood demon liquid was robbed.

In addition, his favorite adopted son, the Earth Spirit Leopard, also died.

But strangely, Lord Baishan did not admit it at all, claiming that he had neither obtained the top-grade blood demon liquid nor killed the Earth Spirit Leopard.

Other mountain masters intervened to mediate, and the whereabouts of the top-grade blood demon liquid and the Earth Spirit Leopard became a mystery.

The situation is still very tense, and a new war may break out between the two mountain masters at any time.

…

Returning to Lingsha Peak safely.

Li An was excited and counted his spoils.

A Yuanying demon child and a perfect master in the late stage of Jindan, so his harvest this time was huge!

Most of the things in the Yuanying demon child's ring were used by the demon clan.

Two fourth-grade demon blood flowers can purify the blood of spirit beasts and demon clans, which are very precious to the demon clan.

Two pieces of demon bones, seemingly excavated from ancient ruins, record two earth-level spells of the demon race.

A fourth-grade soul-forging flower that refines the soul.

In addition, there are a bunch of demon pills, crystal cores, etc. that are roughly equivalent to third-grade pills.

There are only more than a hundred spiritual stones, but they are all top-grade spiritual stones!

One top-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.

It can be said that they are all strategic resources. Many things sold may cause wars.

"These all belong to you."

Demon blood flower, demon bones, demon pills, etc., Li An directly pushed them to Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing immediately chirped and seemed very excited. He rubbed Li An intimately, and then quickly began to devour the demon blood flower.

It is only in the middle stage of the golden elixir now, and these things are particularly useful to it.

Li An solemnly put away the fourth-grade soul-forging flower on the demon child.

This is the third fourth-grade spiritual medicine in his hand.

Then, he opened the storage ring of the Jindan Great Perfection cultivator.

The resources were also very rich.

First, there was a fourth-level magic weapon, which was a delicate small crossbow, only the size of a palm, with only three crossbow arrows left, and a range of only one mile!

Just looking at the range, it was completely unworthy of the level of a fourth-level magic weapon, but its special feature was that the crossbow arrows were immune to the perception of the divine consciousness.

This meant that this thing was a complete assassination artifact!

Not to mention just a Jindan, even if it was a Yuanying cultivator, if there was no particularly powerful protective magic weapon on him, he would definitely be killed without anyone noticing.

It can be said that if Li An had not acted very quickly and was extremely cautious at the time, once the old man had a chance to lock him, he would have been dead!

Li An couldn't let go of this crossbow.

In addition, there were five or six third-level magic weapons that could be used to practice Li An's Heavenly Demon Armor.

There were also six or seven third-grade elixirs.

More than 70,000 middle-grade spirit stones and more than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.

...

With these things, Li An can continue to survive.

The most important thing is that he now has three fourth-grade spiritual medicines, which means that he has far surpassed others in his preparation for the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul is the shackle that Li An did not break through in his previous life.

Once he reaches the Nascent Soul level, his life span will increase significantly, and his understanding of the great way of heaven and earth will reach a higher level. Some geniuses can even understand certain truths and obtain some magical powers from the creation when they break through the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul is even more overwhelming to the Core Formation. It can be said that if Li An was not lucky enough and the demon he met was dying, he would have almost no chance even if he was a Golden Core.

…

After sorting out the resources, Li An was also thinking.

The situation this time was different from what he judged.

In his opinion, with the traitor on the side of Master Jie Shan, Master Bai Shan should have a greater chance of losing.

But Master Jie Shan was defeated miserably.

Did the traitor not work? Or, has the traitor been eliminated by Lord Bai Shan in the past few years?

Li An thinks that the traitor is probably still there.

Last time Jiang Ribai's plan, apart from Lord Bai Shan's demonized subordinates, there are very few people who are qualified to know the whole picture.

But among those people, except Jiang Ribai, no one has died.

The traitor is still there, but he didn't give Lord Jie Shan accurate information... Why is this the case?

Unless for the traitor, Lord Jie Shan's failure is good for the traitor!

What is the benefit? Rob the other party like Li An did?

Rob the other party...

Li An suddenly thought that Lord Jie Shan's nest was attacked, and the so-called top-grade blood demon liquid was lost!

Could it be related to this? !

Moreover, the last time Lord Bai Shan prepared the demon flower for Tai Xi, it was lost, and Lord Jie Shan claimed that he didn't get it.

This time the top-grade blood demon liquid was lost, and Lord Bai Shan also said that he didn't take it.

Will it be all...

The traitor took it? ?

This is not impossible!

Someone is taking advantage of the fight between Lord Bai and Lord Jie to profit from it.

If this is true, then the traitor must be the one who knew Jiang Ribai's plan last time and participated in the raid on Lord Jie's lair this time!

Li An thought carefully about the people who went to attack Lord Jie this time...

A beautiful figure appeared vaguely in his mind.

Mrs. She.

Could it be her?

A thought flashed through Li An's mind.

But he didn't think about it any more, just be alert in the future.

For him, as long as it doesn't affect him, it doesn't matter!

Even if the traitor kills Lord Bai and takes over, it's the same for Li An.

Whether the emperor is replaced or not, will it affect the monthly salary of the lower-level people of 3,000? If the mountain master is replaced by someone else, can the rent of Li An's spiritual vein be reduced every month?

...

Li An didn't ask about the outside world and began to retreat.

His cultivation is already in the middle stage of the Golden Core, one step closer to the Nascent Soul.

But the cultivation of the Purple Mansion is far from keeping up!

The Purple Palace is the foundation for the birth of the Nascent Soul. Even if a cultivator has reached the late stage of the Core Formation, if the Purple Palace is not formed, he still does not have the qualifications to impact the Nascent Soul.

And the Purple Palace needs daily accumulation and continuous absorption of the Taiyin Qi.

It is difficult and time-consuming to obtain it from the spiritual veins.

Fortunately, Li An is not in a hurry and just endures it slowly.

"You can try to impact the third-grade alchemist..."

He was quite excited.

Alchemy has always been the most sought-after among the hundreds of immortal cultivation professions. In his previous life, Li An suffered from his qualifications and did not even have the qualifications to learn.

In this life, he waited until the Core Formation Realm, and his qualifications and spiritual roots were finally changed by the Life-Nourishing Immortal Art, and finally had the opportunity to step into the threshold.

Moreover, in a sense, now he has everything he needs, famous teachers, inheritance, and talent!

So the progress is very fast.

...

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

"There are changes in the Tiansha Mountains. The disputes between the mountain masters have temporarily stopped. It seems that the mountain masters are all carrying out reforms!"

"Yes, the master of Jinshan has changed more than 70 cultivators under his tutelage into three teams and appointed three captains. According to some internal information, the master of Jinshan and his disciples may all be incorporated into the demon race!"

"Yes, I also heard that in the deepest part of the Tiansha Mountains, there is a demon army that is about to arrive in the Tiansha Mountains!"

When participating in the trade fair, various news were quickly communicated and spread among the true Dan cultivators.

The main thing is that the cultivators in the Tiansha Mountains are just tenants!

Paying rent to the mountain owner and working for him, there is actually no subordinate relationship between the two in the strict sense.

For example, Li An, as long as he finds a good place, he can leave at any time.

And the changes in the Tiansha Mountains today mean that all human cultivators need to make a choice.

If you stay, you must accept the reforms of many mountain masters, etc., and you may become part of the demon race in the future, but your future is uncertain.

If he leaves, where should he go? After all, those who can come to the Tiansha Mountains to practice actually have certain troubles in the outside world. Moreover, it is now rumored that the outside world is turbulent and war-torn, so going out is not a good choice.

Li An was also thinking, but in the end, he decided to stay first.

According to his recent news, the Dali Dynasty in the outside world is getting more and more ferocious, and the attack on cities and territories has never stopped. The outside world is dangerous, and it is difficult for him to find such a comfortable place to practice after leaving the Tiansha Mountains.

The spiritual veins can be used at will!

I don't know how much it will cost in other places.

At most, if there is any danger later, then I will run away.

Li An's principle has always been that selling oneself is OK, but selling life is not OK!

One day, Li An was practicing in seclusion and striving to become a third-grade alchemist. Suddenly, a voice came from outside the Lingsha Peak:

"Is Fellow Daoist Lin here?"

Li An was quite surprised, because the voice was... Zhou Libai.

He pretended to be covered in evil spirits, walked out, opened the formation, and invited Zhou Libai to come in.

Zhou Libai landed leisurely and walked into his cave. Feeling the evil spirits coming from all around, she frowned slightly, then sighed deeply, and said: "Fellow Daoist Lin has suffered a lot living here."

Li An said: "It's okay, I'm used to it. Fellow Daoist Zhou, please sit down."

The two sat down.

Compared to the past when she was in Lingyun Mountain, Zhou Libai is now more calm and elegant, and since she replaced Jiang Ribai, she has never had a Taoist partner, and she is even more aloof when it comes to matters between men and women.

Li An can understand that she was struggling to raise the Hehuan butterfly back then, and for the sake of her future, she didn't care about her chastity. Now that her status is different, she is naturally more proud.

"This is the first time we meet since we separated," Zhou Libai said, "We are old friends. Now that I see Brother Lin living here, I feel uneasy. How about asking Brother Lin to move to the C-level spiritual vein?" She got straight to the point. Li An was slightly startled. Zhou Libai actually came to show her goodwill? Abnormality must be a demon! "No merit, no reward. Lin's contribution to the mountain master is limited... I appreciate the kindness of Brother Zhou."

"Brother Lin is now a second-grade alchemist. It won't be long before he can be promoted to a third-grade alchemist. At that time, it will be a natural thing to go to the third-grade spiritual vein. Why be so modest?"

She smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Brother Lin, I won't beat around the bush with you. The White Mountain Master is about to reform his disciples and will form two teams, with Xiaoli and Taixi as the left and right lieutenants respectively."

"You should have heard about this, so I came here to ask Brother Lin, do you want to leave or stay? If you stay, what choice will you make?"

Sure enough.

Li An had already expected it.

Xiaoli and Taixi are the two strongest demonized spirit beasts under the White Mountain Master.

Divided into two teams, the left and right teams, it means that all the disciples under the White Mountain Master need to choose sides.

It doesn't matter to other people, but in the Tiansha Mountains, alchemists are strategic talents. The side of the alchemists will affect the choices of others.

Zhou Libai is the patron of Taixi Yaozi, so she will run around for Taixi Yaozi.

But Li An frowned slightly. He is a second-grade alchemist. In fact, he has no status at all. After all, second-grade elixirs are not very useful for Jindan cultivators.

Zhou Libai is in the limelight, why would she come to invite him in person?

Unless she is in great need!

That means... Madam She chose Xiaoli's side?

After all, Madam She is the only third-grade alchemist under the Baishan Lord.

This is the only possibility.

After figuring this out, Li An immediately said, "Thank you for your reminder, Daoist Zhou. I want to think about it carefully. Is that okay?"

Zhou Libai frowned and looked a little cold when she heard it:

"Daoist Lin, you have to think it over."

"The level of demon blood awakened by Miss Xiaoli is only yellow level, while Tai Xi is at Xuan level!"

"In addition, I can also tell you that the rumors about the coming of the demon army are indeed true. At that time, the demons will be valued. The stronger the innate bloodline, the more stable their status in the demon clan will be in the future."

"Moreover, if you go to Xiaoli, you will not be valued with your alchemy level. On the contrary, if you follow Tai Xi, you will definitely be trained as a key person!"

"Some opportunities only come once. If you pass by them, they will be gone forever——"

She felt that Lin An was really ungrateful!

She was of such status, and now she had condescended to come here, but Li An dared to refuse.

Li An smiled bitterly and said, "Lin really can't make a decision for the time being, please forgive me, Brother Zhou--"

Zhou Libai's face became a little ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, this is the second time you reject me. Have you thought about the consequences?!"

There was already a hint of threat in her words.

She has not forgotten Li An's rejection and humiliation of her.

Li An sighed, "Sorry."

Zhou Libai stood up and said, "Okay, I wanted to give Brother Lin a chance for the sake of our old relationship. Since Brother Lin doesn't cherish it, let it go--"

She said meaningfully, "I hope you don't regret it after you go to Xiaoli--"

Of course, after saying that, she left with a wave of her sleeves.

...

After she left.

Li An breathed a sigh of relief and decided to get up immediately to visit Mrs. She!

The reason why he didn't choose Zhou Libai was very simple.

First, Zhou Libai had an old grudge.

Secondly, if he went to Zhou Libai's side, as the only alchemist, he would indeed be trained as Zhou Libai said, but that also means he would be paid special attention.

Li An now wants to be a marginal person. If he goes to Xiaoli's side, Madam She will take care of the alchemy, and no one will bother him.

Third, and most importantly, after the two battles between Master Jie and Master Bai, Li An has always suspected that Madam She is the so-called insider.

This person is unfathomable!

If he stands on the side of Tai Xi, it means that he will have to face Madam She, a ruthless person, in the future, which is too risky.

Li An does not believe that Zhou Libai will be Madam She's opponent.

Of course, Li An also thought that if he took the initiative to find Madam She, she might be alert... But it doesn't matter, she will pay attention to Li An for a short time at most, and Li An will make her lose patience slowly...

Compared to endurance, Li An has never been afraid of anyone.

...

Soon after, Li An arrived at the "Qinglan Peak" where Madam She lived.

"It's you, Mr. Lin. Come in..."

Mrs. She smiled and invited Li An in.

After just one look, Li An had already keenly sensed that Mrs. She's life force seemed to be emitting

Some subtle changes have taken place...

"Demonic aura..."

He was slightly shocked.

How could Madam She have demonic aura? Could it be that she has become a demon?

She concealed it very well. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even if a demon came, it might not be able to be seen.

But Li An's Life-Nourishing Immortal Art is too sensitive to the breath of life, and others can't hide it at all.

"Sure enough..."

Li An almost instantly confirmed his guess.

The demon-transforming flower that Jiang Ribai lost and the top-grade blood demon liquid that was taken away by Master Jie Shan should have been obtained by her. Moreover, she did not use it on the spirit beast, but...used it on herself!

This person...is very cruel!

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin has something important to do here?" Madam She asked with a smile.

"I heard that the reform of Lord Baishan is about to begin. At that time, Miss Xiaoli will be the left lieutenant and Taixi Yaozi will be the right lieutenant... Therefore, I came here for this matter." Li An said calmly: "Lin is willing to follow Madam She-" Express your position! Madam She was quite surprised and looked at Li An. After all, most people's choice is actually Taixi! Although Madam She is an alchemist, in the long run, Taixi will definitely have a higher status in the demon clan in the future. Therefore, only a small number of old friends followed her to choose Xiaoli. Lin An took the initiative to come to her, which was something she didn't expect. "In fact, it should be better for Fellow Daoist Lin to choose Taixi." She smiled slightly. Li An said: "To be honest with you, I have some grievances with Zhou Libai..." He laughed and immediately told her about his rejection of Zhou Libai after her husband died. "That's why I have a grudge against her. Besides, when I first entered the Baishan master's sect, I was helped by Daoist Fellow She. I will never forget this favor, so I came to your house."

Mrs. She couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

"Okay, then in a few days, you and I will go to see Lord Zuo Wei together."

Li An then left.

It was a long time after he left.

"Sister, is this the person you mentioned, the one who raised the spirit bird and was favored by Miss Xiaoying? This person is quite interesting..."

Another woman walked out of the cave. She looked younger than Mrs. She and looked very similar to her.

She was Mrs. She's sister, She Anqi!

Madam She asked curiously, "What did you see?"

She Anqi said, "His soul power fluctuations are very quiet, especially quiet, the quietest I have ever seen!"

"Whenever a person has desires, his soul power will naturally manifest, but this person... seems to have no desires, he is so strange!"

Madam She pondered, "Is it because he has no desires, or is it because what he wants is unimaginable?"

She Anqi said, "It may also be that he is too focused and has only one ambition, so all the trivial matters cannot arouse his inner emotions... But for this kind of person, I still I have never seen him. "

Mrs. She said: "This man should not be underestimated."

"When he entered the Baishan master's sect, he brought a spirit bird with him. I thought it was a coincidence, but later, under Bai Jiang's targeting, he did not die. I heard that he also found a lot of things."

"He never participated in the tasks issued by Baishan master, but when he was about to be expelled, he showed the level of a second-grade alchemist."

"Now you can see that his soul power is extraordinary. It seems that the dog that bites does not bark..."

She sighed slightly and continued:

"Angel, what do you want to do in the future? You can't get in touch with this person. If you have a chance, go into his dream to check it out." She Anqi smiled and said, "Sister, although I also think he is a little strange, are you too sensitive? Even if what you said is true, at most he is lucky and careful enough..." Madam She shook her head, "No." "Bai Jiang died in Lingyun Mountain. It is said that the evil vein of Baihua Valley broke out, but I am very familiar with that place. If the evil vein of Baihua Valley is not stimulated by external forces, it will definitely not be like this." "At that time, there were only two people in Lingyun Mountain. People, Zhou Libai, Lin An. "

She Anqi said: "Sister, didn't you check it? Besides, even if Bai Jiang's death is really related to other people, it is related to Zhou Libai... Why do you still suspect Lin An?"

Mrs. She also nodded, but still smiled and said: "Maybe it's intuition, I always can't see through Lin An..."

"Tsk, sister, is there still someone you can't see through in this world? Okay, in a few days, I will live on a mountain with him and help you see through him, see through him!"

She Anqi smiled.

Mrs. She was thoughtful and said: "Well, remember to look at his bird, that bird, you must see through it!"

She Anqi suddenly said: "Sister, you are so dirty..."

...

And Li An had just left Mrs. She.

In his spiritual platform, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly came:

"You almost got seen naked just now."

Li An: "? ? "

...
