Xu Qiuhui.
Li An really didn't expect that he would still hear this name in Baihu City after eight years of separation.
When the Demon Cult broke through Xuanyang Sect and focused on killing the foundation-building cultivators of Xuanyang Sect, she didn't die?
However, Xu Qiuhui was the smartest person he met in Xuanyang Sect that year, so it was normal for her to survive.
Moreover, even if Xuanyang Sect fell, she was still doing well and worshipped the Jindan strongman Baihu Zhenren as her master.
After a detailed understanding, Li An found out more.
Xu Qiuhui came to Baihu City five years ago.
After entering the city, she went through various tests in order to worship Baihu Zhenren. Half a year ago, she finally got the approval of Baihu Zhenren.
It won't be long before the real disciple-taking ceremony will be held, and she will become the seventeenth disciple of Baihu Zhenren.
Baihu Zhenren treats his disciples very well. In addition to guiding them in terms of skills and cultivation, he also allows them to obtain the city entry tax paid in the sealed area as a source of spiritual stones for cultivation.
From now on, Xu Qiuhui has moved up a level.
Even though she didn't receive such treatment in the past in Xuanyang Sect.
Looking at the remaining disciples of Xuanyang Sect, she may be the one who has developed the best.
"Okay, let's choose this place."
Li An opened his mouth and said, "I'll pay for ten years first."
According to the current price, twelve spiritual stones a month, ten years is one thousand four hundred and forty.
But if it really becomes a sealed area, it will cost nearly three thousand spiritual stones in ten years. It's really a great bargain to settle it now.
"Brother Wei is really generous. Manman didn't make a mistake!"
Manman smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll take you to pay."
Soon, Li An paid the spiritual stones and received the certification jade card of the small courtyard, etc. Manman personally took Li An to the house he rented.
This small courtyard is located at the foot of a small mountain. The surrounding scenery is quite beautiful and very secluded. It has a single door and a single house. There are several other similar houses not far away.
Except that the spiritual energy is slightly weak, all conditions are perfect.
"How is it, Brother Wei, is it okay?"
Manman looked at the small courtyard in front of her, and her eyes were inexplicably complicated.
In fact, she originally left this small courtyard for herself, and planned to rent it after getting married.
However, three months ago, her fiancé died in Yunhuan Mountains, and she could not afford it with her own financial resources.
She has kept it in her hand all the time.
Seeing that Li An was so generous and gave her many benefits, she thought of introducing it to Li An.
"Manman, this place is so good, thank you so much."
Li An smiled, and suddenly took out a storage bag and stuffed it into Manman: "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely help if I can."
There are 100 spiritual stones in the storage bag. It should be noted that Li An stayed in the city for a few days, but he didn't get any news about the inside of Baihu Mountain, but Manman was able to get in touch with Xu Qiuhui's news, proving that she is well-informed in the city!
It is very useful to make friends with such people.
"Brother Wei, you are so generous... You are so good to me!"
Even though Manman has been in this business for many years, she still can't help but feel a little excited.
The tips Li An gave during this period add up to her annual income!
"It's nothing, you look a lot like my sister, and seeing you reminds me of her."
"If you don't mind, how about we get along as brothers and sisters in the future?"
Manman couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard it, "Brother!"
Li An smiled and responded.
Manman introduced a lot of situations to Li An again, obviously with a lot of care, including people and things that Li An should pay attention to in the city.
This made Li An feel that the 100 spirit stones were worth spending!
After a long time, Manman left.
Li An cleaned up the house. The courtyard is not big, but there is an ancient well, a willow tree, and it can accommodate a stone table. The house has two rooms, a kitchen, and a hall.
After cleaning, Li An took out two sets of advanced formations and set them up.
One set is mainly for defense, and the other is mainly for attack, cooperating with each other.
In fact, the same set of formations can achieve both offensive and defensive functions, but Li An knows that unless it is a second-level formation or above, the formations in the Qi Refining Period pursue completeness, and in fact, each function is weakened, complete but not strong!
It is better to use multiple sets of formations in combination.
After resting in the courtyard for a while, he went to visit the houses next door.
It is still necessary to get to know the neighbors when living here in the future.
After knocking on the door of the first courtyard, a middle-aged man looked at Li An with some doubts after the door opened.
"Hello, fellow Daoist, I am Wei Ming. I have just rented a house here for ten years. I came to visit my good neighbor."
Li An smiled slightly, then gave a set of first-grade lower-grade magic array, saying: "It's just a small gift, not a respect."
The middle-aged man saw this and was immediately happy. He said with a smile: "I am Liao Cheng, a doctor. Fellow Daoist Wei is a magic array master? Come in, come in."
Li An immediately went in, sat in Liao Cheng's residence for a while, drank a cup of tea, and then left.
Liao Cheng was quite polite. Before leaving, he gave Li An some simple medicines for treating injuries, and said: "By the way, fellow Daoist Wei, you don't have to go next door. Miss Xiaoxiao is not here these days."
Li An has learned from Liao Cheng that in addition to Li An, there are a total of four people living here.
They are: doctor Liao Cheng, talisman master Wang Can, alchemist Luo Yong, and Guo Xiaoxiao.
He introduced Guo Xiaoxiao very little, only saying that Guo Xiaoxiao is beautiful and usually doesn't live here.
But from this sentence, Li An had guessed a lot.
This means that Guo Xiaoxiao has at least other followers in the city.
Wang Can is already in his sixties and looks quite old. Knowing that Li An is a formation master, he asked Li An indirectly whether he knew talismans.
Generally speaking, formations and talismans have something in common.
When Li An said that he didn't know, Wang Can finally felt relieved - his runes in this area were the best-selling, and if a colleague suddenly came, it would affect the business.
Then he gave two lowest-level runes as a return gift.
Finally, Li An arrived at the door of the alchemist Luo Yong.
After knocking on the door for a long time, an impatient voice came: "Who is it!"
When he opened the door, he saw a fat man with an impatient face, a face full of flesh, about thirty or forty years old, wearing luxurious clothes, looking down at Li An.
"I am Wei Ming. I have rented a house here for ten years. I came to visit my good neighbor. This is a small gift, not a respect."
Li An presented a low-grade first-level spirit gathering array.
Luo Yong just glanced at it casually and said, "Oh, I see. Forget the gift."
Obviously, he looked down on it.
Alchemists are very popular, and he has the qualifications to be proud.
He did not invite Li An to sit down.
"Okay,"
Li An still smiled warmly, "Please take care of me in the future."
Luo Yong casually perfunctorily said a few words to Li An, and then closed the door.
Back at home, Li An had an idea of these people.
Except for Guo Xiaoxiao, whom he had not met, Liao Cheng, Wang Can, and Luo Yong were not a big threat, but were only in the late stage of Qi Refining.
Liao Cheng's depth could not be seen for the time being, Wang Can was narrow-minded, and Luo Yong was proud and complacent, but these were not problems.
You can practice with peace of mind!
