The people from Taiyi Sect have arrived.
--Li An had already made arrangements, including routes, hiding, etc., just to wait for the people from Taiyi Sect to come.
He believed that Taiyi Sect would definitely come.
Li An quietly left his territory, changed his appearance, and after a series of twists and turns, he arrived at Duanlong Mountain outside Tiansha Mountain City.
On Duanlong Mountain, a woman was already waiting.
It was Lihua!
Li An had already guessed that it would be her, because all the arrangements Li An made were just to let Lihua do this.
Deliberately gave the jade talisman to Lihua, and then limited it to only those in the foundation-building stage...
There are many benefits to doing this. First, it can allow Lihua to take important tasks in Taiyi Sect. Second, at the critical moment, Lihua can probably be turned against!
Of course, he will not reveal his identity at present.
"What has Taiyi Sect considered?"
Li An stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Lihua was obviously wary of the stranger in front of her, but she still said, "I have brought some of the things you want--"
She said that and handed Li An a storage bag.
She took a glance.
There were a thousand pieces of fourth-level talisman paper!
Including what Li An had accumulated over the years, he already had about two thousand pieces of talisman paper.
Of course, talisman paper is not the same as talismans, but with so many, he can officially start refining fourth-level talismans.
From the third level to the fourth level is a huge watershed, and it is very difficult to make. It is still unknown whether the cost of two thousand pieces of talisman paper can allow him to successfully enter the level of a fourth-level talisman master.
Li An said: "What else? My condition is, one thousand fourth-level talisman papers, plus two sets of fourth-level fortune jade, or a main medicine for the Infant Pill..."
"If you want to do business with us, you have to let us see your capital first, right?"
Li Hua said: "This transaction will only be successful next time if both parties are satisfied."
Li An smiled and handed Li Hua a storage bag.
In the storage bag, there was a corpse.
Li An had been refining this corpse for a long time. Although it was only at the Jindan level, it was nourished with the aura of the evil crystal, so others could not tell that it was refined after birth.
Lihua finished the inspection and said, "Thank you--"
After saying that, she remembered Elder Chu's instructions and immediately said, "In addition, we want to do another business with you."
Li An said, "Oh?"
"The map of Tiansha Mountains."
Li An's face changed slightly, and he said coldly, "I am just doing business with you. If I give you the map of Tiansha Mountains, wouldn't I become a traitor?"
Lihua said, "In Tiansha Mountains, it is just for cultivation. If you can get better benefits and be more beneficial to your own cultivation, why bother about these? Right?"
She smiled slightly.
This once simple mountain village girl in the Sijing Mountains, after experiencing ups and downs, also seems to be much more sophisticated and mature.
Li An thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Well said, what are you going to exchange for it?"
"One fourth-level fortune jade!"
Li Hua said, "Next time, bring the Nascent Soul-level evil corpse and the map together, and we will give you three fourth-level fortune jades."
Li An's heart was pounding, but he shook his head and said, "I am the number one loyal minister of the Tiansha Mountains, loyal to the core, and if I give you the map, I don't know how many of my brothers and sisters, beloved relatives and friends will die in your hands..."
"You have to pay more!"
"The map of the Tiansha Mountains, two fourth-level fortune jades!"
Hearing this, Li Hua couldn't help but flash a complex expression on her face, what a price... Sure enough, what Elder Chu said was right, most of those who can leave the human race and run to the Tiansha Mountains to be the running dogs of the demon race are people who can sell anything for profit.
"I will tell the sect about your idea."
"Zhao Changkong has already given us a copy, but it's not that comprehensive... I hope what you come up with will satisfy us."
Li An pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."
He agreed!
Li Hua smiled and said, "Happy cooperation!"
...
The first transaction was completed.
After returning to the palace, he did not start refining talismans immediately.
He was worried.
The news from Taiyi Sect, Xiang Yuntian and others showed that the people from the Xiancai Palace would soon arrive at the Tiansha Mountains. If a war broke out at that time, Li An would be very uncomfortable!
If they win, will the intensity of the war escalate further? It will lead to a full-scale war between Dali and the demon clan too early. At that time, Li An will not be able to control the situation. Will Shangguan Shengxian appear, where will he appear, etc.
It's scary to think about it.
But what if they lose? Abandoning the Tiansha Mountains and entering the Demon Realm was not what Li An wanted. After all, in his opinion, Tan Qingxue and Madam She were not good people. In addition, the Demon Realm was not suitable for him to practice, so he could only avoid disaster when it was absolutely necessary.
To get rid of this situation and continue to stay in Dali... the only way was to make the so-called Xiancai Palace and even Dali unwilling to come to the Tiansha Mountains.
Following this line of thought, he wanted to prevent the other party from coming... unless this place lost its value to them.
Evil spirit!
The reason why the Xiancai Palace wanted to come was because there was a lot of evil spirit here.
After thinking hard for a long time, a plan slowly took shape in Li An's mind... Although it might not succeed, he could only try his best at present.
He immediately got up and went to find General Jiaman. ...
"The Hall of Immortal Talents?"
General Jiaman pondered, "I have heard that among the human race, the top talents of various forces are composed of them, and they have a very high status even in Dali."
"Your information should be true. I have also inquired about it. They are very concerned about the evil spirit."
Li An said: "So, the worry of Tiansha Mountain Range... lies in the evil spirit."
"I think, when the people from the Hall of Immortal Talents come, it might be a good idea..."
He told the plan one by one.
General Jiaman nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it."
"Thank you, sir! I will take my leave now."
Li An immediately prepared to leave.
"Master Lin," General Jiaman suddenly called him again, as if to comfort Li An, and said with a smile: "In fact, there is no need to worry so much. If the enemy is really too strong, just go directly to the demon domain. You made great contributions last time. When we evacuate, I will take you with me." Li An said: "We have the responsibility to defend the Tiansha Mountains. Besides, the Demon Queen is about to ascend the throne. If we lose the Tiansha Mountains at this time, I am afraid that you and I will lose our lives..." He heard the weakness in Jiaman's words, as if he wanted to give up the Tiansha Mountains? So, he used this to remind Jiaman... Whether it is useful or not, do the last bit of strength. Jiaman nodded and said: "Master Lin is right." Li An left. Jiaman was in deep thought, frowning. He heard what Li An meant. Li An didn't want to leave the Tiansha Mountains! This is worrying...
"No, we have to report to the demon domain immediately..."
Otherwise, if Dali really attacks, whether he can save Lin An is another matter...
...
Although the arrangements have been made, Li An still carefully scouted the route in the next few days and studied the map in various ways.
Make a plan for escape!
For this reason, he even arranged formations on two routes in advance to use when escaping.
Before thinking about victory, think about defeat first.
...
On the third day, Lihua came again.
"Are the maps and evil corpses ready?"
Li An nodded and handed a storage bag to Lihua.
In the storage bag was a jade talisman and a Yuanying-level evil corpse.
The jade talisman contained a map of the entire mountain range, but Li An made all the key changes!
If Dali really attacks, this map will not only be useless, but will mislead them.
Lihua carefully checked part of it and found it was consistent with what Zhao Changkong gave them!
It seems that Li An did not lie to her. Last time, she told Li An that Zhao Changkong had given them a copy, just to let Li An be honest and not play tricks, they could check it.
But they didn't know that Li An searched Zhao Changkong's memory and could naturally avoid that part.
In addition, there was no problem with the Nascent Soul-level evil corpse.
Lihua immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Li An, "Four copies of the fourth-level good fortune jade!"
Li An took the storage bag and was overjoyed.
He didn't expect that for a map, Taiyi Sect actually gave two copies of the fourth-level good fortune jade in exchange, which was simply a blood profit.
After all, the two things he gave Lihua were actually of no value.
Not to mention that the map was fake, the Nascent Soul-level evil corpse was also refined after birth, but it was covered with the breath of the evil crystal, so it couldn't be seen. Although it was useful, it was far from being comparable to the real Nascent Soul evil corpse.
"In addition, we want to make another deal with you." Lihua said slowly: "Be an insider and cooperate with our Taiyi Sect." At first, it was just a business, then Li An gave the map, and now Li An is an undercover agent. Taiyi Sect's rebellion was tested step by step. Li An smiled and said, "What are you going to exchange for this?" "The main ingredient of the Infant Pill - Three Souls and Seven Souls Grass." Three Souls and Seven Souls Grass! Three Souls and Seven Souls Grass is extremely critical. It can be said that other ingredients of the Infant Pill can be replaced, but this thing is irreplaceable. It is the core of the core! Without this grass, there is no way to talk about the Infant Pill. This kind of thing is a real Nascent Soul-level opportunity. It is extremely difficult to find it on weekdays, and it is controlled by major forces. "In addition, Taiyi Sect can promise you that after conquering Tiansha Mountain Range, you can enter Taiyi Sect as a guest of the Supreme Guest, and we can also refine elixirs for you!"
Li An pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood why Taiyi Sect was so generous to him.
Bribing Li An and conquering Tiansha Mountain Range will make Taiyi Sect more money!
Moreover, for the high-level officials of Taiyi Sect, it will be too easy for Taiyi Sect to take back the treasures given to Li An now after conquering Tiansha Mountain Range. They just "deposit" them with Li An first!
Li An was clear-headed and finally nodded, "Okay."
"When are you going to attack?"
"Ten days later, during this period, you can continue to look for evil corpses. How many there are, Taiyi Sect will trade you with that amount."
Li An shook his head and said, "I can help you as an insider, but evil corpses... You know, in the entire Tiansha Mountains, the only evil corpse of the Nascent Soul level is the one I gave you, there are no more."
Lihua frowned immediately: "No more?"
After she became Li An's "contact", Taiyi Sect gave her a lot of information, and she now has a good understanding of evil corpses.
"Yes, several decades ago, King Suzaku led his army to stay in the Tiansha Mountains for a period of time. At that time, they opened a secret realm of the demon."
"In the secret realm of the demon, there is a corpse of a demon. As a result, the evil crystal in the corpse of the demon actually contains poison. When the secret realm is opened, the corpse is broken, and the poison spreads to the evil veins of the entire Tiansha Mountains... Now forty years have passed, and the evil veins in the Tiansha Mountains have become poisonous."
"So, there are many evil corpses in the Tiansha Mountains, but they have all become poisonous. Can you still use them?"
Li An spoke leisurely and smiled, "Now there are only me and General Jiaman left who participated in the secret realm of the demon. I think this news alone is worth another fourth-level fortune jade. What do you think?"
Lihua's face was a little ugly. She also knew that if the evil corpse was poisonous, it would be really useless.
"Here, this is a poisonous corpse. If you want it, I can give it to you. Just give me some third-grade spiritual medicine containing the energy of Taiyin."
Li An also took out a corpse directly, and the poison gas was overwhelming!
Lihua hesitated and said, "I'll take this corpse back with me... I'll bring you the spiritual medicine next time?"
The news Li An said was too shocking, which might be related to the grand plan of Taiyi Sect, and this poisonous corpse is a confirmation.
Li An said, "Okay."
"As for the time to attack Tiansha Mountains... it may be postponed and decided next time."
Lihua seemed a little worried.
...
After she left.
"I don't know how General Jiaman arranged it..."
The "news" that Li An and Lihua said was only part of the plan.
The other part was done by Jiaman.
But whether the damned Xiancai Hall could give up its covetousness for Tiansha Mountains is still unknown, and the success rate of this plan is not high.
...
Lihua returned to Taiyi Sect and reported the situation in detail.
"What... all turned into poisonous evil spirits?!"
This news shocked Elder Chu!
If so, would the Tiansha Mountains still be useful to them?
He repeatedly stared at the poisonous evil spirit corpse that Lihua took out, his eyes becoming very gloomy.
They had never heard of this news before.
In fact, this is normal. Since the departure of the Suzaku army, there are fewer cultivators left in the Tiansha Mountains. Almost all the third-class spirit veins can accommodate them. Who would have nothing to do but study the evil veins?
Therefore, ordinary True Dan cultivators do not know the changes in the evil veins, so naturally they have no way of knowing.
"Is this news... true or false?"
Elder Chu pondered over and over again.
It has a certain degree of credibility.
After all, if the Tianyao evil spirit corpse is really poisonous, it is normal to be able to affect the entire Tiansha Mountains.
Moreover, in their opinion, Li An is more credible. Because, after comparing the map Li An gave them with the one Zhao Changkong gave them, there was no problem, and it was even more detailed and clear than the one Zhao Changkong gave them.
In their opinion, this person was a first-class greedy person. Just based on this map, this person was already a traitor to the Tiansha Mountains, and they could only continue to cooperate with them.
No, we still have to find out the truth of this news, and we must confirm it.
"Report!"
At this time, a Zhendan cultivator hurried in and said, "Master, something bad has happened. I just got the news that Fei Tianqi of the Xiancai Hall... has gone to the Tiansha Mountains!"
Elder Chu frowned, "Fei Tianqi... Isn't he in the capital of Dali, engaged to Dali Princess Gu Hong? Why is he here now?"
"Maybe this person wants to break through the Nascent Soul realm before the engagement... Master, if he breaks through the Nascent Soul first, the Taoist book of the Xiancai Hall will fall into his hands, and several geniuses of our sect will have no chance."
The Zhendan cultivator looked ugly.
The reason why Taiyi Sect is so concerned about Tiansha Mountain Range is to support the genius of Taiyi Sect in the competition in Xiancai Palace!
Over the years, Taiyi Sect and other forces have understood how deep the foundation of Dali Empire is!
It is far beyond the reach of Taiyi Sect and others.
The elite they sent to Xiancai Palace are currently competing for the position of Holy Son. Once they become Holy Sons, they can get the Tao Book issued by the White Tiger Empress herself. It is said that the opportunity of Tao Book can reach the level of transformation or even higher!
Therefore, Taiyi Sect is determined to get it.
And Fei Tianqi... has always been called the number one in Xiancai Palace, and his cultivation is about to break through the Nascent Soul level.
This person is the biggest obstacle for their Taiyi Sect genius to become the Holy Son. Taiyi Sect's action against Tiansha Mountain Range this time is to seize the opportunity of Fei Tianqi's engagement in Dali. Who would have thought that he would come so quickly...
It's too strange. Does Fei Tianqi have a traitor in Taiyi Sect? Elder Chu had a thought in his mind.
Flashed past, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"Pay close attention... I will discuss this matter with the sect master and others, and never allow him to break through the Nascent Soul first!"
...
And at this moment.
Outside the Tiansha Mountains.
"Is this the place?"
The group has arrived.
Four young men among them are particularly eye-catching.
They are all wearing black brocade robes, and on their left chests are embroidered with a graceful word in spiritual gold thread: Immortal.
Following them, there are many servants, among whom there are actually two Nascent Soul-level elders, escorting them!
"It is here. I heard that this place has been ruled by the demon clan, but now, there is only one Nascent Soul-level demon cultivator guarding it..."
The young man in the lead, with a dignified demeanor and a natural sense of superiority on his face, smiled slightly: "Only one? That's too few, really... not enough to kill."
...
