Chapter 242 The Family and Descendants of the Previous Life

Li's Talisman.

The familiar door plaque made Li An realize that this store should be the property of his original family!

Wasn't his family in his previous life in Ningguo, hundreds of thousands of miles away from here? Ningguo Tianye County Li's family, although famous in Ningguo, was unknown in the entire Qianshuiyunzhou. When did the industry come to Jiguo?

With curiosity, Li An decided to take a look.

He didn't rush, but walked around the city several times to make sure no one was following him, and then quickly changed his appearance in an alley where no one noticed, and then walked out and casually entered the Li's Talisman Shop.

There were only two people at the front desk in the store, a male waiter, and a girl who seemed to be the boss of this place. She was wearing a light yellow long skirt, looking down at the account, calculating something.

Li An's Yangming Zhuxian Jue moved lightly, sensing the life energy of the girl, and was immediately surprised. This girl... seemed to be his direct descendant?

I just don't know which generation it is...

He frowned secretly in his heart. He was the patriarch and ancestor of the Xiuxian family. His direct descendants should not be separated from the core of the family. How could this girl run so far away to look after a small shop?

Besides, the girl's spiritual roots look pretty good. She has a yellow-grade upper-grade water spiritual root and is expected to form a pill. She should not be bad in the family, right?

"What do you want to see, sir?"

The girl raised her eyes and asked.

Li An said, "Do you have a fourth-level talisman for sale?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, but she immediately shook her head: "No, the highest talisman in our store is only the third level."

"However, if you want it, you can pay a deposit and we will deliver it from the family."

Li An was surprised. As far as he knew, the Tianye Li family had never produced a Yuanying-level cultivator. Even Li An was only in the late Zhendan stage. Now they can make fourth-level talismans?

This means that the family already has a Nascent Soul cultivator and a fourth-level talisman master?

He understood instantly that it seemed that during the period after his death, Tianye Li must have had some adventures!

Nascent Soul opportunity, fourth-level talisman inheritance... These were all difficult for Tianye Li to obtain in the past.

Li An said: "Well, in addition, I also want fourth-level talisman pen and talisman paper, can you provide them?"

He asked tentatively.

The girl's attitude became more and more enthusiastic. She realized that the person in front of her might be a "big customer", and immediately introduced enthusiastically: "If you want, I can contact the family right away... Although it may take some time, it can be made!"

"And the price here must be cheaper than other places."

The status of Li's talismans is far inferior to that of the New Dao League Treasure Pavilion, so the price in the market must be lower.

Li An asked, "How much is it exactly?"

The girl said, "How about we chat in the inner hall?"

Li An nodded and entered the inner hall. The girl personally served tea to Li An and then introduced the talisman pen and other information.

A fourth-level talisman pen costs four thousand high-grade spirit stones.

A box of fourth-level spirit ink costs two thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Fourth-level talisman paper, basic five-element attribute, costs ten high-grade spirit stones per sheet, special attribute ones are more expensive, fifteen spirit stones per sheet.

This price is indeed lower than that of the New Dao League Treasure Pavilion.

Li An nodded, "A fourth-level talisman pen, two boxes of spiritual ink, and basic talisman paper with five elements attributes, all for 100 pieces. In addition, prepare 100 pieces of thunder attribute, ice attribute, and wind attribute talisman paper for me." The girl was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, senior, thank you very much!" She hurriedly took out a jade contract and signed it with Li An on the spot. The jade contract was in duplicate and could not be copied. In addition, they had to agree on a secret code to facilitate the collection of goods. "How much is the deposit?" "A total of 17,500 spiritual stones. In this way, I will give you a discount and only need 17,000. The deposit is 50%... No, 40%, 40% will do!" The girl was obviously a little excited. She was suppressed by the family and sent to a place far away from the family's sphere of influence. She was also carrying an almost impossible performance task. She was always frowning, but this order from Li An was enough to make her worry-free for a year! So, she used the highest authority of the store owner to reduce the deposit by 10%. Li An nodded and immediately paid 6,800 high-quality spirit stones, and asked, "When can I pick up the goods?"

The girl said, "Four months, four months at most!"

Li An stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "What's the owner's name?"

The girl blushed slightly, mainly because she realized her own gaffe. She didn't take the initiative to introduce herself from beginning to end. As a store owner, it was really too rude and inappropriate. She hurriedly said, "I'm Li Shuangshuang, what's your name, senior?"

"Yun Li."

Li An said calmly, "Shopkeeper Li, please keep this matter a secret for me."

Li Shuangshuang said, "Senior, please rest assured!"

Li An left the talisman shop, disappeared into the crowd, and quickly left Fengling City.

He met his descendants by chance, but Li An was not ready to recognize them. Everything was over.

Although the family is developing well now, even Yuanying cultivators have been born. Li An's return may have some benefits, but there will be more troubles.

In his previous life, these things in the mortal world took up too much of his energy, causing him to delay his cultivation to a certain extent. He naturally couldn't repeat the same mistake in this life.

Moreover, if he really went to recognize her, he would probably be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. An old ancestor who had come back from the dead would definitely have many secrets.

No need.

Even if the Li family was destroyed now, Li An would not necessarily care about anything.

He bought Li's things just to get a bargain and then test the family's foundation and strength.

…

Back to the Evil Spirit Lake.

Li An began to concentrate on making a fourth-level magic array!

Although he still hadn't broken through the Nascent Soul, it was not difficult for him to make a fourth-level magic array. In fact, his current attainments in formation were higher than some skilled fourth-level formation masters.

Because this formation was to protect his own practice place, Li An did it very attentively.

"Outer warning, leading defense, halfway through the lake, it is necessary to provide good conditions for the evil spirits to fight, and some mazes are needed. The island area in the middle of the lake is the most important, and both defense and attack should be given equal importance."

Li An spent half a month thinking about this formation alone, and then spent another month on making it!

Finally, the formation was completely completed, perfectly integrated with the terrain of the Evil Spirit Lake, covering a range of 500 miles around!

In fact, a fourth-level formation can cover an area of ​​2,000 to 3,000 miles at will, but Li An is well versed in formations. If he pursues a wide coverage, it will become weak everywhere and the protective effect will become worse.

It is better to focus on guarding his place of practice!

With this formation, even if a Yuanying cultivator comes, it is difficult to threaten Li An.

In this life, his path of practice has been ups and downs, stumbling, Xuanyang Sect, White Tiger City, Tianyang City, Beastmaster Jiang Family, Tiansha Mountains, Dao Sect... It can be said that he has been running away all the time, and there are few times when he can really settle down. Until now, he has truly found his own place to stand. Moreover, he no longer faces huge external pressure like before.

The only drawback is that he is still... relatively poor.

It is really difficult to earn spirit stones by fighting alone as a casual cultivator without the support of the sect.

The fourth-level spirit vein can support the basic practice of Yuanying cultivators, but the speed is not fast enough. Whether it is Li An or Qingyan Shenque, they still need extra spirit stones every month.

Li An is fine at present. One top-grade spirit stone is enough every month, but Qingyan Shenque is already fourth-level, and it needs about ten top-grade spirit stones a month.

The maintenance of the fourth-level formation also consumes two top-grade spirit stones every month!

This does not include the cost of purchasing various materials and supplies.

"I have to find a spirit mine. If it doesn't work, I can create a casual cultivator city and collect taxes..."

After reaching Yuanying, it becomes more and more difficult to be a casual cultivator. The consumption is huge. It is very difficult to make money to support cultivation by yourself.

From today on, he started to save the spirit mine!

Spiritual ore and spiritual vein are not the same. There must be spiritual stones inside the spiritual vein, but the spiritual vein is a composite product, which also contains the creation of heaven and earth, enough to help cultivators realize the truth and break through. Spiritual ore is not the same. It is a product of rich spiritual energy and may not have the aura of the great way, the rhyme of heaven and earth, etc.

Spiritual ore can be mined, but no one will dig spiritual veins, which is a waste of natural resources.

A spiritual vein can support countless generations.

Fortunately, according to the news obtained by Li An, due to the influence of the power of the spiritual world, many places in Xinzhou have produced some small spiritual mines on their own.

Li An wants to find a few, and it is not too difficult.

This is why many cultivators from Daozhou, Fanzhou and other places come to Xinzhou!

This is a blue ocean with abundant resources. Unlike Daozhou and other places, the limited resources have been divided up by vested interests, and ordinary people can hardly have a bite of soup.

However, Li An had always had a suspense in his mind. Why did the super powers such as Dao Sect and Brahma Sect in Xinzhou not take action?

They only built Taoist temples to maintain their existence, but did not directly exercise strong rule!

They took a laissez-faire attitude.

Do they think that the current level of Xinzhou is not qualified for them to reap, or do they have ulterior motives?

Li An always felt that so many major forces joined forces to create a new continent in the spiritual world, and the plot must be great.

There may be huge storms in the future...

However, he could not think so far ahead. The most important thing at present is to catch up with his own practice!

He went out again. This time, he wandered around the Evil Spirit Lake and investigated thousands of miles. Sure enough, in a valley more than a thousand miles away from the Evil Spirit Lake, he found a small spiritual mine that was taking shape!

After careful exploration, this small spiritual mine currently mainly produces medium-grade spiritual stones and a small amount of high-grade spiritual stones. Li An estimated that he could produce 500,000 medium-grade spirit stones and 8,000 high-grade spirit stones every year!

Converted into top-grade spirit stones, the output is about 130 pieces per year.

It's not much, but it's not too little either!

Just the current output, not to mention the extra, is barely enough to support the practice of the Blue Flame Divine Bird and the operation of his fourth-level formation.

It can relieve him a lot of pressure!

Moreover, this spirit mine is still growing, and the output should be able to increase in the future.

Li An couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the spirit world is inflated, everything is more expensive than it was in the Emperor Yuan Realm, the water rises and the boat rises...Spirit stones are not as barren as in the lower world.

If it were in the lower world, such a mine would be enough to trigger a bloody battle among the Yuanying family!

Li An immediately placed a third-level magic formation around this spirit mine for protection, and asked a third-level spirit leopard on the lake island to bring a few second-level spirit beasts to guard it.

From then on, this place belonged to him!

Unfortunately, there is no such good spiritual mine within a thousand miles. There are two other places, but they are too low-level. The main output is low-grade spiritual stones. There are very few medium-grade spiritual stones, which are basically of no use to him.

However, with the attitude of not wasting, Li An still set up two second-level formations for protection and sent two foundation-building spiritual beasts to guard.

Compared to people, Li An felt that spiritual beasts were much easier to manage.

In particular, the beast control technique itself relies to a large extent on the control of the spirit consciousness and soul, and the Immortal Heavenly Demon Art of the Demon Sect, the Lord's Judgment of the Paradise Sect, the Soul Control Method of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, and even the witchcraft technique are more or less the best in this regard. After his multiple fusions, he has also raised the original Jiang family's beast control technique to a whole new level.

The spiritual world is vast, and Li An has died in Dao Sect on the surface, so Li An is not worried about exposing the beast control technique.

As long as he does not show those secret techniques in front of people, there will be no problem at all. "It's not enough to just guard it, we have to mine..." Li An thought, he still needs to find some miners and some subordinates. ... After finishing the spiritual mine, another half a month passed. There are still two months before the time agreed with Li Shuangshuang. But Li An decided to go now! No other reason, for safety. After all, this order is not big, but it is not small either. What he is worried about is that a fourth-level formation master and a fourth-level talisman master suddenly appeared in the capital of Ji State. Will it attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives... That would be inappropriate. If someone really wants to target him, they will definitely set up a network around Li's spiritual talisman in advance and wait for the rabbit. Then Li An will go there now and wait around. If there is any movement, he can find it immediately, so that it can be safe. Entering the capital of Ji State again, Li An found a place to stay. He would go out for a walk every day when he was free to learn about the recent events in the world of immortal cultivation, etc. During this period, he spent four or five thousand spirit stones to buy a fourth-grade and several third-grade soul-nourishing spirit medicines. It was because Shangguan Xiaoxiao's Yuan Ling was severely damaged in the battle of Huangquan Valley. Although Li An's life seed power could be nourished, the speed was very slow. Li An planned to calm down in a few days and refine some pills for her to supplement. In fact, in a sense, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had done many great favors to Li An, but before breaking through the Nascent Soul, Li An never dared to trust her completely. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. On this day, Li An pretended to be a cultivator in the foundation-building period and was visiting several vendors on the street. He immediately noticed two real Dan cultivators entering Li's Lingfu Shop! The deliveryman is here? Li is really generous now, they can easily let two True Dan cultivators to escort the magic weapon...

He paid close attention, and suddenly, he noticed another True Dan cultivator, who was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and sat down at a wonton stall not far from Li's Lingfu Shop.

Li An secretly practiced the Yangming Zhuxian Jue, and immediately felt that the life breath of this person was slightly similar to Li An.

He should be someone from the Li branch!

Could it be that Li really had bad intentions and was preparing to block Li An? This is not right. Li An bought a fourth-level talisman pen, etc., and he is obviously a fourth-level talisman master. If Li wants to deal with him, he should at least send a Yuanying-level master.

Li Jing watched the changes quietly.

The two True Dan cultivators who escorted the treasures left after entering the Lingfu Shop for a while. Li An then saw Li Shuangshuang come out and close the door of the Lingfu Shop. It seems that the shop will be closed in the next few days.

"The fourth-level talisman pen is in the store, but the two True Dan cultivators have left. Li Shuangshuang is worried about the safety, so she closed the store?" Li An thought, this is very likely. After all, it is a fourth-level magic tool, so at least one True Dan cultivator should be left to guard it, and wait until Li An arrives and the two sides complete the transaction before leaving. Li's actions are weird everywhere. Fortunately, Li An is cautious enough and keeps vigilant against his descendants. Otherwise, if something really happened, he, an old fox who had fought wits and courage with Shangguan Shengxian, Xun Dongfang and even Dao Zong, might be left here accidentally. That would be really funny. He guarded around for half a month, and Li's talisman store was closed for half a month. Moreover, although the cultivator in the straw raincoat outside changed his appearance several times, he never left.

Late at night that day.

Li An discovered that the True Dan cultivator suddenly moved.

Late at night, he headed towards Li's Talisman Shop. Li An followed quietly and found that the True Dan cultivator first set up a formation around the Talisman Shop to isolate the fluctuations of spiritual power, and then suddenly broke through the formation of the Talisman Shop and forced his way in!

Li An was immediately shocked. Was this going to be a scene where Li's people robbed Li's shop?

…

At this moment.

"You are not allowed to go out these days. Wait a minute. I always feel uneasy."

Although it was late at night, Li Shuangshuang had not slept yet. She summoned several Xiao Si in the shop and two foundation-building cultivators to tell everyone to keep watch.

Half a month ago, the family sent the fourth-level talisman pen in advance. She originally wanted to ask one of the masters to take charge, but the other party left in the name of other important matters.

This made Li Shuangshuang a little nervous. She keenly sensed something was wrong, so she decisively closed the store and stayed inside without leaving.

"Shopkeeper, are you too nervous? Who dares to come..."

A young man in the foundation-building stage smiled and spoke.

But as soon as she finished speaking.

Boom!

A loud noise suddenly came, and the surrounding formations fluctuated, but they were not activated, but destroyed!

"Not good!"

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they hurriedly turned back, only to see a man in black appear. He didn't say a word, but raised his hand, and a series of light burst out and shot towards everyone.

"Bold!"

Two foundation-building cultivators stepped forward to resist, but the light directly penetrated them!

The two fell to the ground on the spot, and their lives were unknown.

The other young people had no power to resist and died one after another. Li Shuangshuang's face changed drastically, and she turned around to run away, but she was only in the foundation-building stage, how could she be faster than this real pill cultivator?

The man in black had already landed behind her, grabbed her shoulders, threw her to the ground, stepped on Li Shuangshuang's face, and made a hoarse voice: "Where is the fourth-level talisman pen I ordered? Where is the fourth-level talisman paper?"

"Take it out!"

Li Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and said: "Where is the jade contract? Where is the secret code?"

"I asked you to take it out!"

"You are not the distinguished guest at all... You, your last name is Li, right?!"

Li Shuangshuang's eyes seemed to be filled with deep despair, saying: "Only people from the Li family would know so much about the formation here... Is the family really so heartless?"

"Looking for death--"

The man in black had a cold face, waved his hand, and his spiritual power had become a knife, and he was about to chop off Li Shuangshuang's head--

But at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill behind him, turned around abruptly, and saw that another black shadow had appeared at some point, grabbing him with a big hand.

The black-clothed man's face changed drastically, and he used his spiritual power to form a shield to block the attacker, but the attacker actually shattered his spiritual power shield and grabbed his throat. At the same time, the middle finger of his hand flashed a blue color.

A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed man. He wanted to say something, but a feeling of numbness had spread throughout his body. He realized... he had been poisoned.

Li An carried him like a dead dog, then looked at Li Shuangshuang and said in a deep voice: "The mountain is high and the moon is small. Take the things and follow me."

Li Shuangshuang climbed up, still in shock. After hearing this, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her... was the one who actually ordered the fourth-level talisman pen.

She hurried to the garden and jumped into the well. Not long after, she came up wet all over, holding a soul-locking box covered in mud in her hand. She said, "I put the things in the soul-locking box and hid it in the mud... Sir, you can leave after paying the balance."

At this time, she seemed unwilling to leave and wanted to hold on!

Li An glanced at her, frowned slightly, and suddenly made a move, pointing a finger. Li Shuangshuang fainted before she could react. Li An picked up one in each hand, and at the same time, two spiritual powers were slashed out, completely killing the two foundation-building cultivators lying on the ground on the other side!

Li An had already seen that the man in black did not completely kill the two foundation-building cultivators, but left them with a breath.

After doing all this, Li An robbed the entire Li's Talisman Shop, took away all the talisman paper, talisman pens, and temporarily threw the two people into the ring - his ring was not a high-level ring that could hold living beings, but in just one day, the two people would not die.

Leave the Talisman Shop.

Outside the Talisman Shop, the formation set up by the True Dan cultivator was still running, isolating the fluctuations here, so the Fengling City's city defense formation did not sense it.

Li An changed his appearance and breath, and returned to the inn where he lived quietly.

The next morning, Li An went out of the city directly.

After he left for a long time, the formation that concealed the fluctuations was uncontrolled, and the spirit stones were exhausted and finally dissipated. Everything in Li's Talisman Shop was finally discovered...

...

Soon after.

Li An returned to the Evil Spirit Lake.

Li Shuangshuang was still unconscious, Li An threw her aside, then released the True Dan cultivator, injected spiritual power, and made him wake up.

"You... who are you? How dare you catch me..."

The True Dan cultivator's eyes were filled with fear.

He couldn't even survive a single move from Li An!

So, he thought the man in front of him was probably... an old Yuanying monster?

"What do you want to do by pretending to be me?"

Li An spoke coldly.

The True Dan cultivator was stunned. Was this man the fourth-level talisman master who ordered talisman pens and talisman paper for Li Shuangshuang?

Didn't he agree with Li Shuangshuang to pick up the goods in four months? There was still a full month before the delivery date...

...
