Chapter 163: Great Harvest
Chapter 163 – Huge Harvest
There was a possibility that Yan and the Da Li Empire would go to war.
Other than that, Li An couldn’t think of a reason for the Jiang family to stockpile a large amount of supplies.
He couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous in his heart.
Right now, he could be said to be in his years in the Jiang family.
When the war came together, the Jiang family, as the overlord of the bordering Qingzhou, would inevitably be deeply involved in the war, and at that time, Li An would inevitably be affected.
The most important thing is that although the Dali Dynasty is far weaker than the Yan Kingdom, there is a Shangguan Shengxian over there!
Fighting my ass ah fight.
In a real fight, ten Jiang Clan families would not be enough for Shangguan Shengxian’s second.
But, all these thoughts were placed in the bottom of his heart as he spoke, “Thank you for reminding Brother Xinda, in that case, next, Mister Wu will definitely make good preparations and live up to the Jiang Clan-“
After giving Jiang Xinda some favors, Jiang Xinda left.
“Gotta find a chance to make a trip back to White Tiger City to fetch something ……”
At least he had to go before the war, so that if the war broke out and the Jiang Clan was destroyed, he could also run away before he did so.
Currently, however, the head-pressing thing was still this pile of tasks.
On that day, he gathered the Xuanwu Hall’s guest ministers and did the task assignments.
Although many of the guest ministers were surprised, they didn’t have too many objections after they understood that the amount of tasks for the entire Zhiqi Peak had risen
“Upper Secretary Wu, my cultivation has been fluctuating lately, and I urgently need to shut down, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to take on tasks for a short period of time ……”
While a middle-aged man sitting on the left hand side suddenly smiled and opened his mouth.
This person was none other than Feng Yuancheng.
He was originally supposed to be this term’s Secretary, but as a result, he was “parachuted in” by Li An and seized power, so he had always been very cold towards Li An, and had never taken the initiative to pay his respects to Li An.
Li An also ignored him.
The two people do not offend the river water, Li An has not been touched him.
This time, he took the initiative!
There were rules in the Jiang family, although the guest secretaries needed to work for the Jiang family, it was possible for the guest secretaries to close their doors and ignore mundane matters during the critical juncture of their cultivation.
Generally speaking, one year of seclusion is allowed within every ten years, and if the seclusion is not done within the ten-year cycle, the hours of seclusion can still be accumulated for later use!
There were a total of four people in Xuanwu Hall who could make talismans.
Li An, Feng Yuancheng, Zhang Meng, and Sun Jinxue.
However, Sun Jinxue’s main profession was a puppeteer, and her level of talisman-making was so low that it was basically negligible.
Feng Yuancheng and Zhang Meng were one and the same!
If these two swung together, it meant that Li An alone needed to take on all the amount of tasks.
In Feng Yuancheng’s opinion, Li An definitely couldn’t swing it.
And this, was the perfect time for them to tear down Li An.
Li An’s heart went cold as he frowned, “Closed at this time?”
“Upper Secretary Wu, this is a rule of the Jiang family!”
Feng Yuancheng sneered.
“Fine, I promise.”
Li An opened his mouth.
“That …… I also have some fluctuations in my cultivation, and I also need to retreat.”
Zhang Meng really did follow immediately.
“It’s okay.”
Li An’s face grew more and more somber.
……
After the meeting.
“Do you have any ideas?”
Sun Jinxue’s brows were furrowed, she was a little worried that Li An wouldn’t be able to cope.
“It’s fine, I’ll just find someone to help.”
Li An calmly said.
In reality, he wasn’t going to look for anyone at all, after all, he couldn’t find anyone even if he wanted to.
However, what Feng Yuancheng and the two did not expect was that in terms of making talismans …… Li An alone, topping four or five ordinary talisman masters is no problem at all.
After all, Li An’s success rate, as well as divine sense, were far beyond ordinary people!
It was just that doing so would expose part of Li An’s true talisman making level.
However, this could be accepted.
After all, who of these guest ministers of the Jiang family didn’t have some outstanding skills? For a YuanYing family, this was nothing at all.
Immediately, Li An himself received all the talisman making materials, talisman pens, etc. given by the family.
The materials given by the Jiang family were sufficient, and according to common sense, it was enough to make around one hundred and twenty second-order talismans.
But for Li An, so many materials could almost produce two hundred!
Meaning that he could pocket the remaining eighty sheets!
It was equivalent to making a bloody fortune every month.
This kind of opportunity doesn’t come around often!
Ever since the battle of Tian Yang City, he had been poor until now, and this was a good opportunity to re-accumulate his fortune.
For the next period of time, Feng Yuancheng and Zhang Meng really closed their doors, while Li An was frantically refining talismans.
In the first month, one hundred and seven sheets were successfully surrendered!
“Huh? Elder brother Wu, you’re quite capable of this ……”
Even Jiang Xinda was shocked when he came to collect the talismans.
He was clear about the situation over here, Li An alone, actually produced such a high output in a month.
Li An topped his black eyes with a tired face, “Li An has done his best, but it is still a little bit worse, but also please Xin Da brother help to say a few words of praise ……”
Said handing Jiang Xinda quite a few spirit stones.
Jiang Xinda smilingly said, “It’s okay, the gap is not big, the family side, should not say anything.”
……
Just like this, Li An had resisted the pressure for several months in a row.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he was frantically pressing himself and couldn’t last long.
Three months later. “Mr. Ruoshi, why have you come in person!”
Li An respectfully ushered in an honored guest – Jiang Ruoshi.
A direct descendant of Jiang Ri Bai.
Jiang Ruoshi was dressed in brocade clothes and looked arrogant, even though he had failed in the core seed selection, he was still a core figure of the Jiang family, and sat directly on the main seat, without saying a word, sipping a mouthful of tea, and said towards his servant:
“Ah Ba, you also taste this tea.”
Li An hurriedly poured a cup for his servant as well.
“Young master, this tea is really good.”
Jiang Ruoshi nodded, “Since you like the tea here, come more often in the future to ask for tea with Supreme Minister Wu.”
Li An hurriedly said, “If eighth brother comes, Wu Qin is most welcome!”
After saying that, Jiang Ruoshi directly got up and led Buster away.
It seemed strange, but Li An understood Jiang Ruoshi’s intentions.
He had only come on this trip to let Li An recognize Ah Bachi.
In the future, Buster would step in and butt heads with Li An on some things, and most of these things were things that Jiang Ribai and Jiang Ruoshi would not be able to directly step in and let Li An do!
Letting a slave do it, anything that happens won’t implicate Jiang Ribai or Jiang Ruoshi.
Sure enough, the next day, Ah Bark came to the door.
“Wu Shangqing, there is a favor to ask you to help,”
Ah Bachi sipped his tea and smilingly handed out a pile of third-order talisman paper and a third-order talisman pen.
“Make third-order fire python talismans, air explosion talismans, and other attack-type talismans, as many as you can make, count them-“
Li An’s face changed slightly, “Eighth Master, Mister Wu can’t make third rank talismans right now ah ……”
“It says that with Wu Shangqing’s level, it’s not far from third-order talismans, here, this is a third-grade Fetal Soul Grass that nourishes the Divine Sense, as well as the method of making these types of talismans.”
Ah Ba handed out another box to Li An, in which was clearly a medicinal herb and a few scrolls of bamboo slips.
He patted Li An’s shoulder, “Make sure you finish it, besides, only you know and I know about this matter, understand?”
Li An’s face hesitates repeatedly, but ultimately gritted his teeth and agreed, “Mister Wu will definitely try his best, but the success rate and quality, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee it in the short term, please forgive me, 8th Master ……”
“Don’t worry, for the first three months, you can spend as much as you want, not a single talisman can be produced ……”
Ah Baji said and left, on the way out and said, “I will come over regularly, I like the tea you have here.”
After he left.
Li An stared at the talisman paper and talisman pen, his brows furrowed.
Obviously, this was a private job explained from Jiang Ribai’s side.
None of the family definitely knew about it!
Li An’s second-order talisman performance allowed Jiang Ribai to sense that Li An’s true talisman-making level wasn’t low.
Of course, the other party must not have guessed that Li An was actually capable of making third-order talismans right now.
That’s why Li An was given aids such as Tire Soul Grass, as well as space to practice.
“Jiang Ribai or Jiang Ruoshi must be using these talisman papers to do unseemly and dirty things!”
This was what Li An guessed.
After all, if it was out of the family’s needs, then it was just a straightforward arrangement.
There was also no shortage of high level people within the Jiang Clan who could create third-order talismans!
However, Jiang Ruoshi and the others still found Li An because Li An was one of theirs and didn’t have any roots within the Jiang Clan, so finding Li An to make talismans wouldn’t be known by others.
Moreover, Li An was supported by them, so it was good to hold him.
“Ignore him first, the talisman paper that was sent to the door, it’s useless to use it-“
Now Li An had no shortage of second-order talisman paper in his hands, but not a single piece of third-order talisman paper!
It was just the right time to utilize this opportunity to ruthlessly replenish it.
He first made a third-order flight talisman!
This one he had the best foundation.
In just the first month alone, he had made twelve flight talismans, greatly filling his storage bag.
In the second month, he began to target the Air Burst Talisman and Fire Python Talisman.
Gas Explosion Talisman, the instant it is activated can directly detonate the air in a ten-mile radius, equivalent to a strike from a JieDan cultivator, very powerful, basically mandatory for those below JieDan, belonging to the ranged killing talisman.
Fire Python talisman, as the name suggests can burst out a powerful flame, the strength of the flame can threaten the JieDan cultivator, although the range is not as big as the air explosion talisman, but the offensive is stronger!
All of them are the finest of the third-order talismans.
The only thing Li An could rely on was his experience from his previous life, as well as his powerful divine sense and pure spiritual energy in this life.
As the second month passed, Li An consumed an unknown amount of talisman paper, but only managed to refine two three second-ranked Qi Explosion Talismans.
He embezzled two and only showed one to Ah Ba, but Ah Ba was already quite satisfied.
In the third month, Li An managed to make three genuine Qi Explosion Talismans and four second-grade Qi Explosion Talismans, he handed over one genuine and three second-grade to Ah Bachi, who was even happier!
……
Just like this, in the blink of an eye, a year passed.
“Twenty third-order flight talismans, ten scattered spirit talismans, fifteen gas explosion talismans, fifteen fire python talismans …… In addition, there are more than three hundred second-order talismans!”
Li An looked at the harvest in his storage bag and felt a sense of security!
Now even if he was up against a JieDan cultivator, Li An was no longer in a position where he could only be embarrassed like he once was.
Relying on these talismans would definitely still not be able to defeat a JieDan, but there was basically nothing wrong with escaping!
“It’s good to have a big tree at your back ……”
He couldn’t help but lament.
This was where the underlying strength of the YuanYing family lay, with a True Dan great cultivator supplying resources, he could also mix fat and oil.
And over the past year, there had been quite a lot of gossip circulating about the war between Yan and Da Li.
Li An had a wide range of friends in the Jiang family, so he had heard some of the rumors.
It seemed that this war, or the Jiang family had taken the initiative to start it.
The Jiang family’s target was the northern border of Da Li, or a part of the northern border of Da Li.
Ten Thousand Abyss!
With this news, Li An felt it was very likely.
The opportunities in the Ten Thousand Fathoms Abyss, even for a Yuan Ying family like the Jiang family, it was impossible for them not to be moved.
If you want to get it, you must first pocket the piece of land in the northern part of Da Li, so that you can slowly explore and develop ……
“Upper Secretary Wu,”
On this day, Ah Bachi came again, after Li An submitted the talisman, Ah Bachi said, “The young master is going to make a trip to Da Li next month, you’re a bit more familiar with the situation over there, so prepare yourself and go over with the young master-“
Li An’s heart stirred.
Jiang Ruoshi is going to Da Li ……
He didn’t care much about Jiang Ruoshi’s purpose, but going back to Dali, maybe he could take the opportunity to get the Extreme Yuan Spirit Pill back!
