Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Crisis
Xu Qiuhui's reminder made Li An alert.
The small beast tide in the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range lasted for nearly a year, and the whereabouts of the mysterious spirit beast had been unknown. Later, the sect suddenly suspended all tasks related to the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range.
Now, Xu Qiuhui suddenly reminded him to be careful...
Something must have happened in the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range, and it might even affect the Spiritual Plant Mountain? !
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had been persistent in making friends with Xu Qiuhui.
A word from the other party could save him a lot of trouble and allow him to know a lot of news in advance.
...
Out of caution, he went to Zhengyi Residence in the outer sect again.
——The residence of registered disciples.
There was a janitor at the door who was responsible for registering visitors. After completing the registration, Wang Dazhu ran out of Zhengyi Residence not long after.
"Brother An, you are finally here, great!"
He was very happy to see Li An.
What surprised Li An was that Zhao Xianchuan also came out with him.
Zhao Xianchuan looked a little haggard and listless. When he saw Li An, he forced a smile:
"We haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Let's go drink. I'll treat you!"
...
Soon, beside the Moon Lake outside the gate, in the pavilion.
Li An told the two about the recovery of his spiritual roots.
Wang Dazhu was very happy and pulled the three of them to toast to celebrate.
Even Zhao Xianchuan didn't say anything unpleasant and sarcastic. He was very easygoing and seemed to have no hostility towards Li An.
He drank very quickly and his face turned red in a short time.
"Li An, congratulations, your spiritual roots have recovered... That's great."
"You are smarter than me, you know what's good for you, I am a fool... Come often in the future, the three of us are brothers from now on, let's drink together, drink together!"
He spoke drunkenly, lying on the table and fell asleep. Wang Dazhu sighed and said, "Last month, he went to Yangdaoju to find Mu Qingwan, but found another man who was very close to Mu Qingwan. The two had a conflict, and he was broken one hand by the other party, and his status as a formal disciple was abolished..."
Li An was speechless.
Zhao Xianchuan was different from Li An and his family. He was born in a family of immortals. There were strong people in the foundation-building period in his family. In a sense, he was a second-generation immortal.
How could he be bullied like this?
"That man is called Han Cheng. It is said that he is the grandson of an inner sect elder. His cultivation is the sixth level of Qi training. His background and strength are far stronger than Zhao Xianchuan..."
"For the past month, Zhao Xianchuan has been drinking every day and is very depressed..."
Li An understood that the second generation had met a more powerful second generation.
In fact, the most important reason why Zhao Xianchuan was hostile to Li An at the beginning was that among the first batch of disciples, Li An and Mu Qingwan were the closest.
Secondly, Li An had good qualifications at that time and was a threat to him.
Now he has become a loser, and after adapting to the cruel and difficult cultivation environment of the sect, looking back at the competition when he first joined, it seems ridiculous now.
Therefore, Zhao Xianchuan felt that he and Li An were in the same boat, and his attitude changed accordingly.
"Dazhu, do you know the situation in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range?"
Li An didn't care about these, but asked solemnly.
Wang Dazhu said: "I'm not sure. We were mainly on the periphery at that time, doing some simple tasks. Later, I heard that something happened in the depths. It seems that a foundation-building cultivator was injured, so all the tasks were stopped."
Foundation-building cultivator injured?
According to Li An's experience, if the news is like this, the truth is generally more serious.
I'm afraid that the foundation-building cultivator is not injured... but dead!
Otherwise, Xuanyang Sect will not suspend all tasks because a foundation-building cultivator is injured.
There is danger...
A sense of urgency came to my mind. "Brother An, come on, the sect exam will be in a year and a half, and you can become a disciple then!"
Wang Dazhu was looking forward to it.
Li An couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It took him almost two years to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining.
Wang Dazhu and Zhao Xianchuan, however, were already at the third level of Qi Refining.
Still far behind.
...
In the evening, Li An returned to Lingzhi Mountain and had dinner.
He immediately began to make talismans.
"The Gathering Spirit Talisman is too low-level and not very useful..."
He began to meditate, holding the paintbrush, and began to make the Flame Talisman.
The first four pieces of paper all failed.
But thanks to his breakthrough in cultivation and the Super Sense Technique, his use of mental power improved a lot. On the fifth piece of talisman paper, a lifelike flame pattern was finally drawn completely!
A first-grade low-level Flame Talisman was successfully made!
Moreover, the quality was good. Li An felt that if a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining was hit, he would probably be seriously injured!
He didn't stop and drew forty pieces of talisman paper in a row.
Five pieces succeeded!
The flame talisman is much more difficult than the spirit gathering talisman. It is a fine product among the first-level low-grade spirit talismans. This success rate is considered good.
This is mainly due to his experience in the previous life. Otherwise, it would take at least half a year for a beginner to successfully make a flame talisman!
"The flame talisman is mainly for attack, and you also have to refine some talismans for control and defense."
He pondered and began to make the other two talismans.
The cold wind talisman can form a wind domain of about three meters after it is cast, which lasts for several seconds. The movement of the shrouded enemy will become slow.
The earth shield talisman has the main effect of defense. After use, it can form an earth shield.
The difficulty of refining is comparable to that of the flame talisman.
In fact, these three talismans are also the most popular among cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, and they are in short supply.
Due to the conversion of talisman types, Li An wasted thirteen pieces of talisman paper before making the first cold wind talisman.
Soon, he made four cold wind talismans.
The flame talisman and the cold wind talisman cost him seventy-six pieces of talisman paper.
The money he spent on the four cold wind talismans alone was already paid back.
Only twenty-four pieces of talisman paper remained.
"I have to make another earth shield talisman!"
Li An concentrated his attention.
The thirteenth piece of talisman paper finally made an earth shield talisman!
"Ten pieces of fine talisman paper!"
Li An felt a little more secure.
Hiding the ten talismans in his sleeve pocket, Li An fell into a deep sleep.
...
In the next month, in addition to his daily cloud and rain, Li An occasionally entered the forest near Lingzhi Mountain.
He constantly refined the water arrow technique and explored the changes in the forest. He even tried to go several miles deeper to explore deeper.
He dared to do this mainly because he had the talisman with him, and the life seed allowed him to hide his breath, so the safety factor was very high.
Li An's water arrow technique can currently be launched about twenty times in a row, and can send out four arrows at a time, with a range of up to sixty meters!
This is also the limit of the second level of Qi Refining.
With the talisman, even if facing the third level of Qi Refining, most of them can be killed in seconds, and facing the fourth level of Qi Refining, it is not impossible to fight!
"There are more wild animals in this forest than before. Leopards, lynxes and other fierce beasts that did not belong to this place have appeared... It seems that something is really coming?"
That day, Li An fell into deep thought after hunting a leopard with water arrows.
This place is close to Lingzhi Mountain. In the past, there were only some small animals such as stink rats, wolves and hares, but in the past few days, he has killed more than one fierce beast.
In any case, you have to prepare in advance.
"There are mountains on both sides. If something is coming, this pass is a must."
He turned around and, relying on his experience in his previous life, he started all kinds of deductions in his mind.
What if it is a person who comes.
What if it is a spirit beast.
If he faces danger here, how should he escape?
He made a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the terrain and environment. In one afternoon, he had drawn up four relatively safe escape routes for this mountain pass alone!
Including where on the route to set traps and where to hide... He knew everything.
"It's not enough to just know the escape route. If you're not fast enough, you can't run away--"
He thought about it and decided to practice his body skills.
"In the early stage of Qi training, the most practical thing is light steps!"
He began to practice in the mountains and forests, his figure flashing through the trees.
...
When he returned to his residence in the evening, he was ready to continue refining talismans.
"Li An, are you home?"
Suddenly, Zhang Susu knocked on his door.
Li An immediately hid the talisman paper and pen, then opened the door and said, "Sister Susu, what's wrong?"
In more than a year, Zhang Susu has become more mature and charming, with a curvy figure, fair skin, and a very beautiful figure.
She walked into Li An's room and closed the door. Her face was red and she whispered: "Fan Jie has been out for three days. It will take a few days for him to come back. I feel so bad during this period. Can you help me?" Li An frowned. ...
