"No problem, come in and get it."
Li An spoke to the little fat man, and he walked in with many thanks, bowed, and said: "Brother, what's your name? My name is Xu Yuan."
"Gu Fan."
Li An said: "I came late, I should call you brother..."
"Brother Gu Fan, don't be polite, the wise are respected, maybe in a few years, I will have to call you senior..."
The little fat man smiled, and it can be seen that his mentality is very good.
The little fat man packed his gifts in the residence, and Li An said: "Junior brother, you don't have to move out. Brother Luo Yuan was here just now, and I have something to say. This residence is very spacious and can accommodate you and me. If you don't mind, how about we squeeze together?"
This little fat man's cultivation is problematic. He doesn't look like a spiritual cultivator. It's just that he is covered by some treasure, so Li An can't see it clearly.
Now he is looking for immortals everywhere. If this little fat man is really an orthodox immortal cultivator, it would be a great breakthrough, so he took the initiative to keep him.
The little fat man saw that Li An was not as arrogant as he imagined, but was very friendly. He couldn't help but relax a little, but still shook his head and said: "Forget it, Senior Brother Gu, the supply of strange energy in each residence is limited. My being here will also affect your cultivation speed."
Li An said: "I'm really sorry... I don't have anything else. Please accept these pieces of strange crystals, as some of Gu's thoughts!"
He took out twenty pieces of low-grade strange crystals and handed them to the little fat man as "compensation".
The little fat man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother, you are too polite. Really, no need, no need!"
He refused repeatedly, and Li An had no choice but to say, "This really makes Gu feel bad... How about this, I will carry your things with you."
He picked up a gift from Xu Yuan and wanted to give it to him - some gifts were directly put into the storage bag. In fact, no one needed to carry them, but it was a courtesy. Xu Yuan didn't say anything else, and the two of them went out together.
Xu Yuan's new residence was on a gentle slope far away from the stream. It had been cleaned quite neatly. After he was sent there, he felt very embarrassed and threw away his resentment towards Li An. He hurriedly poured spiritual tea for Li An, and the two sat down to chat.
After chatting for a while, Li An said goodbye. He did not take the initiative to explore Xu Yuan's cultivation problems. This kind of thing must be the other party's top secret. If he revealed it now, it would make the other party very wary.
You have to boil the frog in warm water and do it slowly--
Just as he went out, he saw two disciples around him. These two disciples were also in the Tribulation Stage. One of them said coldly: "Little Fatty, who allowed you to come here to practice?"
"You came here to practice and affected our strange energy! Tell me, how should you compensate?"
Blackmail is coming.
Xu Yuan looked ugly and said: "This is not yours..."
The young man said coldly: "Haha, it seems that this little brother wants to compete with us?"
As they said, both of them released the cultivation of the late Tribulation Stage. Xu Yuan's face changed slightly. His cultivation was not as good as the middle Tribulation Stage. It was very difficult to face these two people!
"You two shouted and made my ears noisy, but I don't know how you should compensate?"
At this time, Li An suddenly spoke.
The two men had seen Li An a long time ago, but Li An was a stranger, and he was also only in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so they treated Li An as a low-level disciple like Xu Yuan and did not take him seriously.
"Boy, since you don't live here, don't meddle in other people's business!"
One of them said coldly.
Li An stretched lazily, but the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared!
"Not good!"
The two men's faces changed, and they turned around hurriedly. At the same time, the surging power of the avenue had already bombarded Li An, and several magic weapons were sacrificed.
Obviously, they also saw that Li An was not a good person, so they went all out!
But Li An didn't move at all, just sneered, and then slapped out with one palm-
Boom!
The surrounding space shook violently, sensing that someone was taking action, the formations all over Zixiao Mountain immediately sensed it, stabilizing the surrounding space and the earth, so that the scope of the battle was controlled.
However, the power of the two people's Dao and the magic weapons they sacrificed were destroyed by Li An's palm. They both screamed and flew backwards. Even with the protection of the formation, they were like human bombs, knocking down many stone houses!
And Xu Yuan, who had just taken out a magic weapon and was about to attack from behind, was stunned for a moment when he saw this and looked at Li An in disbelief.
Is this Senior Brother Gu so powerful?
They are both in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but why do I feel that... the Tribulation Crossing Stage of others seems fake in front of him?
His fighting power is so strong that it is simply terrifying!
Li An clapped his hands, and in a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the spot. In an instant, he had lifted the two out of the ruins and threw them in front of Xu Yuan. Then he squatted down, looked at the two, smiled slightly, and said: "Now you need to compensate me for more things. Not only did you make my ears noisy, but you also dirty my hands and destroyed so many buildings..." The two spit blood from the corners of their mouths, and they were extremely scared. They just wanted to bully the weak and make some money, but they didn't expect to meet such a bad star. "Will you pay?" Li An asked kindly. "We will pay!" Both of them spoke tremblingly. "Okay." Li An took off all the storage bags and rings on them. The two were anxious and stretched out their hands to snatch them, but Li An just looked at them kindly, and they both wilted immediately. Li An took a quick look. Although these two people were poor in Zixiao Mountain, they were much richer than those people he robbed when he was a robber. They had more than a thousand pieces of strange crystals on them, and some magic tools for the robbery period.
Li An took out all the strange crystals, and threw half of the spiritual stones and those magic tools he didn't need to Xu Yuan.
"This, so many?!"
Xu Yuan took the storage bag and was a little excited.
"Brother, leave some for us..."
The two people who were robbed were almost crying.
Li An said: "Don't say I'm a bad guy. Come on, I'll leave 50 yuan for each of you. It's enough for you to live this month."
Li An threw the storage bag back to them and said: "Oh, by the way, my junior brother lives here. You are welcome to come to his house to trouble him at any time."
The two dared not talk to each other. They took the storage bag and ran away in a hurry. "Brother, this is too much... and I didn't do anything. I'm already very grateful that you helped me drive them away. I don't need these..."
Xu Yuan stepped forward and wanted to give the things to Li An, but Li An smiled, patted his shoulder, and said: "Junior Brother Xu, you and I are from the same sect, so we should help each other. Just accept these things. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me."
After that, Li An left gracefully.
Xu Yuan stopped where he was, looked at Li An's back, and couldn't help but say: "Good man..."
...
In fact, Li An has always been reluctant to do things like standing up for others.
What does the life and death of others have to do with him? Not to mention a stranger who just met by chance, even if his loved ones died, if it would hinder him, he would watch coldly.
But now in Zixiao Mountain... he is not going to keep a low profile.
Before, he kept a low profile because it was more beneficial to him.
But now the situation is different. If he doesn't show up, how can he get more resources? How can he enter the sight of the upper class?
We must fight!
And we can't be slow, the faster the better.
Of course, his biggest confidence is that he is now a strange creature, and no matter how high-profile he is, he will not expose his biggest secret of nourishing life and casting immortals!
As for this little fat man, he just did it by chance.
As long as the other party really has something to do with the immortals...all his investment is worth it.
...
Next, he began his cultivation career in Dengyun Palace.
The next morning, he went to attend the "morning class" of Dengyun Palace on time. His sudden appearance caused a lot of attention. Everyone knew that he was brought back by the Golden Immortal Elder, and they all looked at him with admiration.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
"After the tribulation, it is the time to become an immortal, and all those who want to become an immortal must enter the tribulation land, under the gaze and blessing of the alien gods, and undergo the test of the tribulation-"
During the class of this day, the palace master Jinbi Xianren talked about the strange matter of becoming an immortal, and Li An immediately paid close attention.
His strange cultivation has been perfected, and the next step is to become an immortal, but he knows nothing about strange tribulations and so on.
"Strange God, what is this?"
Li An was puzzled.
"Brother, you don't even know about strange gods?"
Xu Yuan, who was sitting next to him, was surprised and explained quietly: "Strange God is the source of strangeness!"
"One famous mountain, one god. Every famous mountain enshrines a statue of a strange god. Where the statue of a strange god is, the source of strange energy is naturally born. Moreover, since becoming an immortal, if you want to ask about a higher realm, you need to go to the place where the gods descend to gain enlightenment. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you can't go any further!"
One famous mountain, one god...
"The gods bless and lead people to a higher level, but when breaking through the barriers, the most important thing is to unite the body and mind and be firm in yourself. Once you have evil thoughts, you are likely to suffer indescribable and die before the strange tribulations."
The voice of the Jinbi Immortal was emotionless.
"But I heard that the indescribable itself comes from the statue... People can practice without hindrance because of the statue, but the indescribable is the price to pay..."
Xu Yuan muttered in fear.
Statue, indescribable, strange disaster...
It's really mysterious.
But soon, Jinbi Immortal finished his lecture, and reminded him before leaving, saying: "Two years later will be the mid-term competition. If your cultivation level has not reached the level of immortals, your chances of winning may not be great - if anyone wants to challenge the immortal in the near future and needs to enter the land of the gods, you can come to me to report."
Everyone dispersed.
"Junior brother Xu, I want to ask you to do something for me..."
Li An said.
Xu Yuan was very enthusiastic when he heard this, and nodded quickly, "Brother, just say it..."
Li An helped him, making him feel that he owed Li An a favor, so he always wanted to repay him.
Li An said: "You are more familiar with the sect. I would like to ask you to help me sell these immortal medicines, can you?"
Li An took out three Xuanxian medicines and handed them to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan was very surprised to see this. This Senior Brother Gu is really rich...
"Okay, I'll find someone to sell it. This thing is in short supply!"
Xu Yuan agreed.
...
Although Xu Yuan's cultivation is low, he is very efficient. In just seven days, he has sold two spiritual medicines and gave Li An more than 2,200 medium-grade exotic crystals!
According to him, Li An's medicinal materials are of excellent quality, so they are very popular.
"It's time to plan to become an immortal..."
That day, Li An got up and prepared to find Jinbi Immortal to report on entering the God's Land.
Just as he left the house, he saw the little fat man Xu Yuan running over anxiously. He was still injured and looked angry. He said, "Brother Gu, something bad has happened..."
"What happened? Speak slowly."
The little fat man was out of breath and said, "The crystals used to sell medicine were snatched away by Senior Sister Yi Linglin!"
Yi Linglin!
Li An already knew this person. She was from the Yi family. When she entered the sect, she was the best-performing daughter of heaven under Yuanzhou. Not long after entering the sect, she had already broken through the realm of immortals. Now she probably wants to impact the realm of Xuanxian.
The amount of crystals consumed to impact the Xuanxian is huge. She couldn't gather them all in a short time, so she snatched Xu Yuan's crystals.
"It's all my fault. I didn't expect that the last buyer told Yi Linglin about the transaction with me, so she targeted me..."
Xu Yuan blamed himself and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Gu, I'm sorry... Don't worry, even if I don't eat or drink, I will definitely save up and return it to you as soon as possible!"
Li An said, "Why do you need to return it if someone else has taken it away? Let's go and get it back!"
Xu Yuan hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, that's Sister Yi Linglin..."
...
"Gu Fan wants to see Sister Yi!"
Soon, Li An was standing beside the upstream stream, outside a residence.
The strange air here is even more intense.
Soon, the door of the stone house was opened, and a woman in a bright yellow dress came out. She looked dignified and beautiful, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yi Lingwei whom Li An had seen. She smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Li An said, "A few days ago, I asked Junior Brother Xu Yuan to help me sell a few blood medicines."
After that, he looked at the other party.
Yi Linglin pondered and said, "I was wondering why Junior Brother Xu Yuan suddenly became so generous. It turned out to be Junior Brother Gu's business..."
"I took the strange crystals. In this way, this amount of strange crystals is considered as a loan from me. How about it? After the mid-term competition, Senior Sister will return it to you."
If it were someone else, she would not care at all, but she heard from Senior Brother Yuanzhou that Elder Leng Rufeng seemed to value this person Gu Fan... So, she still had to be polite.
"I'm really sorry, Gu is preparing to impact the immortal, and I'm also short of strange crystals recently."
Li An refused!
When he was in Gong's family, he had already offended Yuanzhou. The other party had a lot of complaints about him. It was wishful thinking to improve the relationship. In this case, why should he give face to the person he favored?
Moreover, he had thought about it. After Leng Rufeng accepted him, he neither searched his soul nor asked for more information. He was so laissez-faire. Either Leng Rufeng didn't care about him at all, or Leng Rufeng had other uses for him.
If he really didn't care, he would have been unable to move in Dengyun Palace after Yuanzhou's call. Why would Yi Linglin be so kind to him?
So, Leng Rufeng must have other arrangements for him.
It was because he thought through this that Li An dared to be so bold.
If he was not protected by anyone and still acted high-profile, wouldn't that be giving away his life?
Yi Linglin frowned immediately.
"Junior Brother Gu, we are all of the same blood, why should we distinguish between ourselves? This mid-term competition is not only about us, but also about the face of the higher-ups. How can you be so ignorant? Besides, I am not taking yours, I am just borrowing it. Why be so stingy?"
The commotion here attracted many people to watch, and a woman who was on good terms with Yi Linglin also stood up and spoke.
"Senior Sister Yi, I am really sorry, I really need this amount of exotic crystals."
Li An just looked at Yi Linglin.
As more and more people came around, Yi Linglin frowned more and more, and she was also angry, but she couldn't vent. She felt reluctant in her heart. This amount of exotic crystals was not small, and it was of great use to her...
"Well!"
She snorted coldly, and threw a storage bag to Li An, saying: "Junior Brother Gu, please check the number of exotic crystals carefully. Don't be confused about this account!"
Li An just smiled and said: "Thank you!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Xu Yuan followed him all the way and was stunned. Gu Fan was too fierce, wasn't he? He didn't even give Yi Linglin face... He hurriedly followed
and watched Li An leave.
"Brother Gu, from now on, you must offend her to death..."
Back at his residence, Xu Yuan spoke with a complicated expression, full of worry.
"So, I have to become stronger, otherwise I might die quickly."
Li An smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xu Yuan, you have to speed up too. Take this bag of exotic crystals."
He directly threw the exotic crystals he got from Yi Linglin to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan was stunned, then reacted and said hurriedly: "Brother, I can't accept this gift! Please take it back!"
Li An pushed it back to him and said earnestly: "Junior Brother Xu, in this huge Zixiao Mountain, in my opinion, there are not many people I can trust. You have a pure mind. I really want to make friends with you. The road to immortality is long, and it would be too lonely without one or two confidants."
"So, what are a few spiritual stones? It is important for you and I to become immortals together!"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan was stunned. In the past month, Li An's various help to him, coupled with today's actions, made him feel warm in his heart, so he said: "Brother Gu...are you really sure you want to become an immortal?"
"But once you pass the immortal gate, you may not have a chance to come back..."
Li An was overjoyed when he heard this!
After a month of showing goodwill, plus today's drama, it finally paid off.
This little fat guy... really knows the secret!
He pretended to be surprised and said, "Why do you say that, Junior Brother?"
Xu Yuan subconsciously looked outside, moved closer, and whispered, "Senior Brother, in fact, in addition to a famous mountain and a god, there is another saying..."
Li An said, "What is it?"
"A famous mountain... a tomb!"
Li An couldn't help but be surprised and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Xu Yuan said, "I also heard it from others... When the Heavenly Court was glorious, these famous mountains and rivers were all holy places for immortals, with immortal fruits. Where the immortal fruits are, people on a continent can get them as long as they have enough If they have enough opportunities, they can cultivate to the corresponding level of Dao fruit, but after the arrival of the weird god, those immortal Dao fruits were buried in these famous mountains..."
"So, these famous mountains are the graves of those Dao fruits?"
The little fat man nodded solemnly: "I have heard that the legendary orthodox immortal path has long been cut off. If you just want to become an immortal, find a lower world that has not been infected by weirdness, and obtain pure Hongmeng fairy light from the lower world's heavenly way. But what about the Xuanxian and Tianxian above the immortals? ... There are no Dao fruits to pick in the world."
Li An was stunned.
What the little fat man said... is indeed top secret!
It opened a window for him instantly.
He had also thought about this problem. The weirdness came, and the ancient immortal path had long been cut off. Even if he used the Hongmeng fairy light of the spiritual world to break through to the immortal, what about the immortals above?
There is no way to go...
What the little fat man said now vaguely pointed out the only feasible way to go...
Famous mountains, source lands, etc.
These places buried the fruits of the immortal path in the past.
So, if you want to take that immortal path, you must...
Conquer the famous mountain and dig out everything in the past!
For a moment, Li An seemed to see that the curtain of the eleven days of turbulent winds and clouds finally opened a corner...
He even instantly thought that the Immortal Restorer and Dao Zong set up that trap to kill Leng Rufeng, which might not be as simple as eradicating traitors. Maybe they were preparing for the Immortal Restorer to attack Zixiao Mountain?
However, Li An ruined their plan!
He also suspected that this little fat man might be a spy sent by the Immortal Restorer?
Li An pretended to be relaxed and smiled, saying: "What's the big deal? We are different cultivators. Those buried immortal fruits have nothing to do with us."
The little fat man sighed deeply and said: "But it's more than that... I've heard people say that the reason why a famous mountain is called a tomb is not just because it buries immortal fruits."
"What else is buried?" Li An was curious.
"Maybe... a lost past, and the statue is the door to that past."
Li An was puzzled: "A lost past? What does that mean..."
"I don't know either."
The little fat man shook his head. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be really confused about this sentence. Li An guessed that there was probably a master behind him, and this sentence was not the original one of the little fat man.
"In short, it's quite weird. When you become an immortal, you may see the weirdness in the lost past. That is the catastrophe, which is very difficult to resist..."
The little fat man said: "Brother, I don't have any ambitions. I just want to find a safe place to practice. I am a person with great fear in my heart and can't get through the catastrophe."
"So... I may not want to become an immortal."
Li An couldn't help but nod. The little fat man's cultivation was not high, which should be the core reason.
"Brother Fan, are you really... not afraid of anything? Becoming an immortal may not be that good. Think about the Jinbi Immortal. Is it interesting to live like that?"
His eyes flickered a little. Obviously, he might want to persuade Li An in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly. He could only remind him indirectly.
What he said today has violated taboos. If he reveals a word, he will suffer a death catastrophe!
Li An smiled slightly and patted the little fat man on the shoulder: "The more this happens, the more I will become an immortal."
"A famous mountain has a grave... I just like to dig his mother's grave!"
He looked firm and smiled like the wind.
Seeing this, the little fat man was helpless and immediately stood up and bid farewell to Li An.
...
After returning to his residence, the little fat man couldn't help but mutter: "Is he an orthodox cultivator? I can't test it..."
He scratched the back of his head and said: "This time the gamble is big! If he is really an alien cultivator, I will be in danger..."
...
