Chapter 77 – Peak Qi Refining
Chapter 77 – Peak Qi Refining
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Guo, please, please, please-“
Li An smiled warmly and invited Guo in.
“I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei is a formation master?”
Guo Xiao Xiao opened the door, “I’m not going to hide it from Fellow Daoist Wei, my concubine is here because I also have a request for Fellow Daoist Wei, I want to purchase a set of high-level formations.”
Li An said, “Of course! I wonder what kind do you want?”
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately described her needs, and Li An pondered for a moment that although it was slightly troublesome, it could be crafted.
“Good, it’s just that Mister Wei isn’t too skilled in advanced formation refining yet, he needs to prepare for a while, how about a month later?”
“Good, this is the deposit.”
Guo Xiao Xiao directly gave Li An a hundred spirit stones!
The two agreed and then chatted a few more times, Guo Xiao Xiao left immediately.
After she left.
“Someone from the Devil Cult?”
Li An’s eyes were slightly cold.
Ever since the extermination of the Xuan Yang Sect, the Yin Yang Demon Cult had disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone.
Now they actually encountered them in White Tiger City?
He couldn’t help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Moreover, based on the information he had gotten from other people, this Guo Xiao Xiao actually had backers in White Tiger City.
The backer was most likely someone from White Tiger Mountain.
Could her backer also be someone from the Demon Sect?
The reason why the Xuan Yang Sect was overthrown was because a mole was mixed in.
Could it be that White Tiger City was the next target of the Demon Sect?
But, this was just speculation, and although Li An kept his eyes peeled, he didn’t panic.
The Yin Yang Demon Cult was once flooded, and even, midway through, the Yin Yang Demon Furnace Technique had been spread everywhere, and the mere appearance of a demonic cultivator meant nothing.
If there is a devil cultivator place have to escape, then he probably do not need to cultivate, the entire Da Li territory, where there are not a few devil cultivator?
But in the future, he had to pay more attention to the dynamics of this Guo Xiaoxiao, maybe he could tell something from her.
Sending Guo Xiao Xiao away, he took out a first-rate alchemy furnace, as well as some spiritual pills.
This furnace was also obtained from the storage bag of the first demon cultivator he killed.
Since he had gone to ask Luo Yong for advice, it was still necessary to make a show of it.
As for the dan dao? Li An was not hopeful.
His talent and energy to support the two paths of Formation and Talisman were already at their limits.
Tossing in alchemy and weaponry or something else would be delaying himself.
It was only after a month and a half that Li An delivered the advanced formation to Guo Xiao Xiao.
“Mister Wei’s ability is limited, causing the formation to overstay its welcome, and there are broken many flaws, please ask Fellow Daoist Guo to inspect it, and if you’re not satisfied, Mister Wei can return the deposit in full.”
He deliberately dragged out the production cycle and had control over the quality, appearing reluctant.
When dealing with demonic cultivators, one definitely needs to be on guard and not let the other party see the true level.
Guo Xiao Xiao however smiled faintly, “Fellow Daoist Wei is polite, this formation is good, my concubine bought it at the original price.”
Saying that, she took out eight hundred spirit stones.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist! If there is a need in the future, please feel free to command!”
Li An thanked and left.
After he left.
“The level is rather substandard, not enough to use ah ……”
Guo Xiaoxiao played with the formation in her hand for a while before casually putting it aside.
It was rough, and although it was successfully refined, Li An’s reluctance could be seen in the details.
“That’s just it, let’s look for a more suitable one.”
……
In a flash, four years passed.
In four years, Li An finally arrived at the peak state of Qi Refining!
That year, Li An was eighty-one years old.
From breaking through to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, to the peak of Qi Refinement, he had only used five years, which was mainly due to the breakthrough of his Spiritual Roots, as well as the changes in the Spiritual Qi of the surrounding Spiritual Veins.
Three years ago, when Xu Qiuhui officially became the seventeenth disciple of the White Tiger Realist, the area where Li An was located really did have the spiritual qi suddenly become very dense, saving him a lot of things.
Over the past four years, Li An and Luo Yong’s relationship had become very close.
On this day, under Luo Yong’s guidance, Li An finally succeeded in refining a furnace of first grade aura pills.
“Brother Wei, congratulations ah ……”
“Many thanks to Brother Luo for his guidance.”
Li An was very excited.
“Brother Wei, currently, you’ve already achieved something in the alchemy path.”
“Could you have another inheritance in your hands? Take it out and you and I will study it together, perhaps it will allow you to progress faster.”
Luo Yong smiled and spoke.
“I’m not hiding it from Brother Luo, there are indeed some more ……”
Li An took out some more.
Luo Yong was delighted in his eyes and took it to look at it.
But after he read it, he suddenly had a ghost in his heart, Li An this guy …… again only took out part of it!
“Brother Luo, in fact, I have something that I want to ask for your help ……”
Luo Yong immediately said: “But there is no harm in saying it!”
“Refining the Foundation Building Dan.”
Li An finally spoke. After these four years together, Li An was intentionally or unintentionally testing Luo Yong’s situation, and only dared to reveal this intention when he was certain.
Luo Yong instantly heart penetrating …… original Li An intention here ah!
“Brother Wei, your cultivation is only at the seventh level of Qi refining ……” he couldn’t help but open his mouth.
Li An said: “Not to hide brother Luo, Wei mou another friend needs, Wei mou if out to be able to find a suitable alchemist refining for him, there will be a chance to share one.”
Luo Yong looked at Li An contemplatively.
It didn’t matter if Li An’s words were true or false.
What mattered was that it was an exchange.
He asked his master Zhang Deyi to make a move, and Li An gave him the Second Grade Dan Master Inheritance.
“I will ask about this matter for you, but my master, his old man is too busy …… may not succeed.”
In fact, he was very sure of inviting his master.
After all, the Second Grade Alchemist Inheritance was definitely of interest even to his master, plus the cost of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was already not expensive, so there was no reason for his master to refuse.
Li An said, “Then thank you very much!”
For the next period of time, he sent Luo Yong some parchment every now and then, while asking about the progress, Luo Yong told him that it was expected that it would have to be three months before Zhang Deyi would have the time.
Li An was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
……
On this day, Li An continued to go out, purchased some medicinal herbs, bought some small spiritual food along the way, and went to see Man Man.
Li An maintained the relationship with all his heart, visiting her from time to time and helping her with some small favors, so the two of them were getting along more and more familiar, and Man Man was becoming more and more trusting of Li An.
“Brother, the news you asked me to inquire about has come, half a month later, there will be an auction in the city, and it is estimated that there is something you need.”
Man Man quietly told Li An a piece of news.
Li An’s eyes lit up.
He had consciously or unconsciously mentioned to Man Man that he wanted to take advantage of his generous hand to purchase some herbs for foundation building.
This was normal, every cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining would prepare for Foundation Establishment.
“Right.”
Man Man added, “I heard the shopkeeper say that recently materials, pills, etc. that can harbor the soul are selling well, and it seems that some people are purchasing them on a large scale……. At this auction, the odds are that there might be Purple Vibranium Grass, but I don’t recommend that you go and buy it.”
She reminded.
Li An Xin’s heart snowed.
If there was a powerful person looking for something that could harbor the soul, then Li An had auctioned off the Purple Vibranium Grass and probably wouldn’t be able to keep it.
This was the benefit of being friendly with Man Man!
Often times it was just a single word that might be able to avoid a trouble.
During this period of time, in fact, Li An also gradually understood the source of Manman’s information – the store manager of the Body Nurturing Residence, Yang Wei.
Yang Wei had a background on the White Tiger Mountain side and was well-informed, while Man Man was his pillow.
In this regard, Man Man did not mention much, and Li An did not ask much.
A young girl with low cultivation and no special skills on her side, it wasn’t easy to live in a place like White Tiger City.
If not for that, she wouldn’t be able to live in the second-order district, and would most likely end up in the slums of the first-order district and so on, struggling to make ends meet.
“Thank you, Sister Man.”
Li An took out an elixir and said, “This is the first elixir I’ve refined, a first-grade aura elixir, the quality isn’t great, but the process was quite difficult, so I’m giving it to you.”
“When I become an alchemist in the future, I’ll make you a face nourishing pill.”
This one pill was his only finished product for half a month.
It wasn’t worth much.
However, Manman was very moved and said, “Brother, you’re so good to me.”
“Good, I’ll leave first, without delaying your work.”
Li An’s afterglow swept a middle-aged man out, and immediately turned around and left.
“Manman, is this the Wei Ming you were talking about?”
The middle-aged man walked over, “What did he give you?”
Man Man spread out her hand and said, “Just one grain of one Reiki Dan, he seems to be learning alchemy.”
Yang Wei picked up the aura dan and glanced at it, he couldn’t help but laugh, this level of alchemy, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to become an alchemist in this lifetime.
But he didn’t say anything, at the beginning when Man Man said she recognized a brother, Yang Wei also paid attention, afraid that Man Man would steal a man outside.
But later found that the two did keep a good distance, that Li An is also very knowledgeable, he did not care.
……
Back to the residence.
Li An took an inventory, currently there were still more than twelve thousand spirit stones in his hand, purchasing the auction was definitely enough.
However, Manman’s news had caused him to become slightly worried.
There were powerful people collecting treasures that nourished the divine soul, and one of the main medicines of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Purple Prana Grass, was a treasure medicine in this regard.
If he asked Luo Yong’s side to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, would there be any ripples?
Just as he was pondering over the matter, the door had already been knocked sharply:
“Fellow Daoist Wei, open the door quickly, things are settled!”
Li An went out and opened the door, Luo Yong walked in with a delighted look on his face, “My master promised to refine the Foundation Building Dan for you!”
……
Today on the road traffic jam delayed, still writing, will not be less more, rest assured.
