Chapter 158 – Unexpectedly Adopting an Apprentice
Chapter 158 – Unexpectedly Accepting a Disciple
Qingfeng Walled City, in the closed place.
After some struggles, Walled City Lord Zhao Yi knelt in front of Li An and was completely controlled by Li An.
“If it wasn’t for my extremely strong divine sense, I’m afraid I would have been revolted by him!”
Li An couldn’t help but be thankful.
Zhao Yi obviously had some chance and was progressing quickly, actually about to enter the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
What was once an idle move had grown beyond his expectations.
In fact, if Li An’s cultivation progress was really overtaken by Zhao Yi, and his divine sense was inferior to Zhao Yi’s, then he would no longer be able to control Zhao Yi, and it was even possible that he would be influenced by Zhao Yi in turn!
Although the Demonic Power was overbearing, it needed to be built on the premise that one was strong enough.
Li An easily read Zhao Yi’s memories over the years.
“Actually having contact with the Yan side-“
Li An was quite surprised.
Zhao Yi had led the cottage well over the years.
Ten years ago, he even discovered a secret place in the Four Scenic Mountain Range and obtained a precious jade from that secret place.
In order to be safe, Zhao Yi directly sold that precious jade towards the Yan side of the country, after all, if he struck out on the side of the Da Li Dynasty, he would probably be targeted by the Hundred Beasts Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and other big powers.
At that time, the secret land that Zhao Yi and the others had discovered would certainly not be protected, and they themselves were afraid that they would be swept away by the Divine Sword Sect and the like!
Zhao Yi was also very cautious in his actions.
And this jade of Zhao Yi’s seems to be seen by a big buyer over in Yan.
It directly gave Zhao Yi a Foundation Building Pill.
It accomplished Zhao Yi’s chance to build his foundation.
“But Zhao Yi was actually controlled as well ……”
Li An realized upon careful inspection that there was a Dao poison in Zhao Yi’s dantian!
Obviously, it was carried in the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The buyer from Yan’s side had controlled Zhao Yi through this means, making Zhao Yi continuously explore that secret land, seemingly caring about the secret land in the Four Scenic Mountains.
For this reason, they also spared no expense and continuously invested in Zhao Yi, so that Zhao Yi could advance so quickly.
“Ten Thousand Abyss ……”
Li An learned about that secret land.
In the depths of the Four Scenic Mountains, was a deep abyss of misty clouds, known as the Ten Thousand Fathoms Abyss.
It was very dangerous, and in an accident, there were actually lights of treasures flying out of it, and Zhao Yi got one of them, the piece of jade he had gotten.
“Transition Jade!”
After meditating on what that jade looked like in Zhao Yi’s memories, Li An couldn’t help but be moved.
Transition Jade, very special, said to be formed when the Heavenly Tribulation descends, can block all the Tribulation Fury in the world ……
This kind of thing was rare, and its value was much higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if the grade was enough, it wasn’t impossible to even exchange it for a Yuan Spirit Pill!
It was only because Zhao Yi obviously didn’t know the goods that he sold it.
Yet, this also attracted the attention of Yan’s side.
“What kind of secret land would actually have Transition Jade flying out of it?”
Even Li An was a little misty-eyed.
It seemed like it was necessary to go and take a look!
……
A few months later.
Li An, disguised as Zhao Yi, came out of his place of seclusion and succeeded in his attempt to reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
As for the real Zhao Yi, he was arranged by Li An to leave the Qingfeng Village, disguise himself as something else, and go out to inquire about the news of the upper echelons of the Da Li Dynasty, as well as the aftermath of the battle in Tian Yang City.
After that battle, why did Tianyang City turn into ruins, how did the Da Li Dynasty react to this, etc……. Li An now knows nothing.
The lord of the fortress is on a higher level, and the Qingfeng fortress is in a state of euphoria.
“Walled City Master, there is a letter from Yan–“
Second Boss Chen Gui, a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining, respectfully presented a letter.
Li An opened the letter and took a look:
The buyer from Yan’s side will personally come to Four King Mountain in ten days.
Tell Zhao Yi to get ready and take them to the Ten Thousand Fathoms Abyss.
Li An pondered in his heart.
The buyer from Yan, who was able to give Zhao Yi a Foundation Establishment Pill, was definitely not an idle person.
It should be a big power!
It was good to take this opportunity to make contact.
However, need to prepare in advance, after all, that side is bound to be not idle generation ……
“By the way Walled City Lord, you are in seclusion this time, that secret land and there is a strange movement, however, we guarded over there manpower, let the Rakshasa Walled City and King Kong Walled City to extinguish, on the contrary, there is no thing to fly out, I do not know ……”
Chen Gui continued, “You are in seclusion, I don’t have the certainty of victory, so, I didn’t go out.”
Li An, however, raised his eyebrows.
The Rakshasa Walled City and the King Kong Walled City, were the other two roving bandits in the Four Scenic Mountains.
That secret land is definitely not simple, and these two groups of roving bandits know ……
Then they should be exterminated!
“Do it, exterminate them first!”
Li An directly spoke.
Chen Gui was overjoyed, he had been waiting for Li An’s words for a long time.
……
Very quickly.
Li An personally led the elite of Qingfeng Walled City and arrived at Rakshasa Walled City.
Rakshasa fortress owner Li Rakshasa, early stage of foundation building!
But to Li An’s surprise, the Rakshasa Walled City was easily attacked, and in the Walled City, there was a great deal of mourning.
“Surnamed Zhao, don t you just want this piece of jade …… Hahahaha, a piece of calamity jade, Laozi give you, Laozi give you!”
The early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Li Rakshasa, rushed out of the big fortress with his breath dying, and threw a piece of muddy yellow ancient jade towards Li An.
That ancient jade exuded a powerful aura of calamity, and the people around Li An were avoiding it.
Li An was all surprised that this was indeed a piece of Transition Jade.
However, it contained a powerful baleful aura, if an ordinary cultivator touched it, his cultivation would be misplaced, his qi and blood would be turned upside down, and he would be in great trouble all of a sudden.
The Rakshasa Walled City was destroyed by this piece of jade.
Li An had the Life Seed’s Qi in place, he was not afraid at all, even, even if he did not use the Life Seed, the Devil’s Power could effectively suppress and refine the Fatal Qi.
However, he casually handed out a jade box to a minion next to him, “Go pick it up and put it in the jade box.”
This is what fits the style of a mountain bandit.
The jade box can effectively block the demonic energy to a certain extent, moreover, the buyer on the Yan side previously also gave Zhao Yi some runes to suppress the demonic energy, and Li An also affixed them to the jade box at this moment.
This minion’s face was unsightly, but he still went forward, and just after putting the Transitional Jade into the jade box, he himself had already died violently on the spot.
“Walled City Lord is invincible!”
The crowd, however, shouted loudly. Li An received the Transitional Jade and ordered the people to slaughter the fortress before continuing to the Vajra Fortress.
When he rushed into the Vajra Walled City, he encountered a certain obstruction, and the Walled City Lord Song Jin Gang was actually not as badly injured as Li Rakshasa, so Li An took some effort to kill the other party.
“Walled City Lord, what about these villagers? Slaughter them all together, or pick a few good looking ones to bring back to the walled village away to warm the bed?”
Chen Gui escorted a bunch of villagers over and said:
“That motherfucker Song Jin Gang is quite good at this, actually captured this village and used their blood to absorb the demonic energy ……”
Li An swept a glance at these villagers and prepared to slaughter them all together.
These villagers would have been the situation of certain death, Li An would not let himself be at risk of exposure for their sake, not to humiliate them before their deaths was already the greatest mercy.
But suddenly, one of the bright young girl who was tied up whistled, at that moment, there was actually an eagle flying down in the air, pouncing towards Chen Gui, Chen Gui was not defending himself, and almost got scratched on his face, but after all, he was at the ninth level of qi cultivation, and with a knife of the backhand, he split the eagle into two halves!
“Demon girl, I chopped you with a knife ……”
Chen Gui roared and was about to hack that young girl to death, but his knife instantly hovered in mid-air, unable to hack down.
Li An had already stopped him.
“The villagers are innocent, what’s the point of killing them?”
Li An said coldly.
Chen Gui was instantly puzzled.
Li An, on the other hand, continued, “Innocence must not be killed indiscriminately, you go deal with the other mountain bandits, I will talk to them.”
After saying that, Li An dismounted from his horse and personally went over, untied these villagers and said, “Folks, you have suffered, don’t worry, you are safe now.”
Li An was pleasant to the eye.
Because the young girl in the party made him a little surprised ……
What that young girl had cast, seemed to be the Imperial Beast Technique?
But the key is, that young girl is obviously just a mortal, without cultivation!
There is some meaning ……
When this group of villagers saw Li An was so kind, for a moment, they all knelt on the ground, begging Li An to spare their lives and crying bitterly.
That Beast Sentinel Maiden also followed the group and knelt down.
As soon as Li An helped them up and ordered people to give them food, the villagers were simply like they had met a living god, thanking them profusely.
Li An sat down on the ground and chatted with them, under Li An’s warm and gentle guidance, this group of villagers regarded him as a good person and savior, without words.
Li An understood everything effortlessly.
These villagers came from Tianning Village at the foot of Si Jing Mountain, all of them were mortals, because Song Jin Gang had gotten the method of removing the demon from somewhere and captured them all, originally to behead them all and take their blood for use.
Fortunately, Li An came.
“What is this girl’s name? Seems like she can communicate with eagles?” Li An looked at the young girl with a smile on his face.
That young girl was holding a piece of meat to eat, and was a little short of breath at his words.
“Her name is Pear Blossom, she can be powerful, she is the number one hunter in our village, her hunting skills, taught by Heaven, she can also understand the words of wild beasts ……”
An old man opened his mouth with a smile and introduced Pear Blossom.
Under Li An’s detailed inquiry, he learned that Pear Blossom’s grandfather, was not a person from Tianning Village, but an outsider.
It is said that when her grandfather came, he was dull and stupid, as if he had lost his soul, but the good thing was that he was also kind and able to work, so he married a widow in the village, and passed down a bloodline in the village, which led to the later Pear Blossom.
“It should be his grandfather blessed her, her grandfather s grave, often all kinds of birds and beasts come to …… Pear Blossom thus learned to communicate with the beasts.”
Li An became more and more curious, he moved in his heart, got up and said, “Old man, I will escort you back to the village–“
He decided to go to Tianning Village to take a look.
Deep in the Four Scenic Mountains, there is a secret place that makes all the great powers of the Yan State heartbroken, and the Tianning Village at the foot of the mountain has such strange things …… that make Li An have associations.
Li An instructed Chen Gui to say a few words, then took the villagers back to the village himself, and also took a lot of goodies for them from the coffers of the Vajra Walled City.
These villagers thanked them a thousand times, and each of them was in tears, saying that they had met a good person.
After arriving at the village, Li An swept his divine thoughts and immediately detected the grave that the village elders were talking about!
The grave of Li Hua’s grandfather.
There were indeed a lot of small birds gathering, and, Li An’s Divine Thought had already found abnormalities everywhere.
Under the tombstone of Pear Blossom’s grandfather ……
There was a piece of bone.
Very extraordinary!
Li An instantly determined that Pear Blossom’s grandfather, was bound to be no ordinary person.
And Pear Blossom, should have awakened some kind of talent or something.
“The bone of a fourth-ranked spirit beast contains an earth-ranked beast-guarding technique.”
In the sea of consciousness, Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s voice rang out, “It has some origin, but it’s not worth much.”
After she was sealed by Li An for more than half a year, she learned to shut up and only say one or two words at critical moments, so that’s why Li An lifted her seal, and she could sense the outside world through Li An when Li An allowed her to do so.
At those words, Li An thumped his heart.
The gong method of the earth rank ……
It must be known that in his previous life, as a JieDan powerhouse, he had never obtained a gongfu of this level!
Moreover, this Beast Sentry Technique, which was still hidden in the bones of a fourth rank spirit beast, was enough to show that the origin was extremely great!
He also instantly flashed a thought, could this …… be related to the Imperial Beast Jiang Family of Yan’s Qingzhou?
From Zhao Yi’s memories, he also had a rough understanding of Yan Country.
The Yan Country’s overall strength was much stronger than the Da Li Dynasty, and bordering the Da Li Dynasty was the border Qing Zhou.
And the biggest in Qingzhou was the Jiang Clan, which was said to be a Yuan Ying level family!
It was quite possible.
In any case, it now seemed that Pear Blossom should be the heir of a beast-robbing expert, with a beast-robbing talent within her body, which was why she was able to communicate with birds and beasts.
However, she had not obtained the inheritance of this place.
“Not much value? Do you have a better Imperial Beast Art?”
Li An glared at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, “The Demon Sect doesn’t need Imperial Beasts! The Heavenly Demon Technique can directly refine people and beasts into puppets!”
Li An, however, couldn’t help but laugh, in the end, it just doesn’t!
The inheritance here, he’ll take it!
In addition, Pear Blossom is also worth cultivating, if she is really some great family’s stray bloodline, then through her, she might be able to solve the problem of her third-order spirit vein when she rushes Dan.
Thinking of this, Li An immediately spoke, “Old Abbot, I intend to choose two children from within the village, how about following me to cultivate together?”
“In the future, if they are successful in their cultivation, they will also be able to return to the village and protect everyone.”
When Li An said this, the villagers were even more excited and happy.
“Many thanks to Walled City Lord Zhao!”
“It’s a great blessing for the village children that a good person like Walled Lord Zhao is willing to take on an apprentice!”
Li An swept a glance and smiled, “Well, Pear Blossom, Erniu, how about the two of you follow me up the mountain to practice?”
He had already observed that Li Hua was extremely talented in Royal Beasts, while the other sturdier child, Er Niu, should have barely any spiritual roots.
Choosing Pear Blossom alone would be reminiscent, and taking Erniu, the raggedy one, would make him look like he was holding a righteous heart.
Pear Blossom and Erniu are mountain children, at this moment heard, naturally happy, next to the old man reminded, the two children only hastily worship in front of Li An ……
“Greetings master!”
