Su Xiuwan was indeed very "honest" in a sense.
She was not familiar with the affairs of the Treasure Pavilion, and it was very likely that she had received some kind of instruction, so she gave power to Li An, which showed her great trust.
As the chief, Li An had the support of the Pavilion Master. It had only been three months since he returned to the main pavilion, and the pavilion had been turned upside down.
He directly deposed several treasure appraisers and promoted many newcomers. He also replaced the core positions such as the treasure house and auction with his own people.
After replacing his own people, the Pavilion Master became a mascot to a certain extent. The power of the pavilion was in the hands of Li An. He could do anything at any time, such as the appraisal, storage, registration, and auction of materials.
He also showed great greed, and he would directly take action on anything he liked!
Li An was very unscrupulous!
The main reason was that he was now very clear that the owner of the mysterious demonic energy valued him very much and must be eager for him to form a pill as soon as possible.
Therefore, instead of being angry at Li An's behavior of enriching himself, he would secretly support it.
In this case, how can we not be greedy and corrupt?
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
In just one year, Li An has embezzled a lot of things and his wealth has become strong again.
One evening, Li An was eating, but suddenly heard the sound of vegetable sellers on the street:
"Selling spiritual vegetables, selling spiritual vegetables... fresh spiritual vegetables, spiritual cabbage, cat's ear grass, and wild spiritual vegetables from the mountain..."
Li An frowned immediately.
Finally it's here...
Spiritual cabbage, cat's ear grass, wild vegetables from the mountain... White Tiger Mountain!
"Go and call the vegetable seller in. I'll pick some fresh vegetables. My appetite has not been very good these days." He said.
The old servant left quickly. Not long after, a man carrying vegetables came in. Li An picked and chose casually, but at the same time whispered: "From the northwest?"
White Tiger City is in the northwest of Tianyang City. "Yes, Master Zuo, these are all good vegetables from there..."
The man grabbed a handful of vegetables and handed them to Li An, and there was a storage bag in the vegetables.
Li An accepted it and handed him a storage bag.
The man thanked him profusely and left immediately.
...
"Third-grade Heavenly Evil Stone."
Three pieces in total!
Li An naturally understood what Baihu Zhenren meant.
It has been a year since he came back, and it's time to do something.
He carefully checked and soon found that there was another kind of mysterious demonic energy hidden in these three Heavenly Evil Stones.
This mysterious demonic energy is also higher in level than the flesh and blood demonic energy and the yin and yang demonic energy. Although it is not the same source as the mysterious demonic energy in Li An's body, the level is comparable.
"There is also a terrible demon cultivator hiding in Baihu Mountain, who is likely to be no weaker than the one on the side of the third county lord..."
He understood instantly!
Li An thought about the risks of this matter.
The demon sect of the Third Princess' lineage obviously has a gap with the palace, otherwise they would not have concealed Li An's affairs from the palace.
But what is their attitude towards Baihu Mountain?
Li An's work for Baihu Mountain will definitely be exposed, and he cannot hide it from the Third Princess.
The main reason is that he has been closely watched by the Third Princess - Baihu Mountain does not know this.
It can be said that Baihu Mountain's choice of Li An as an undercover agent and puppet was wrong from the beginning, and his chess moves will undoubtedly be revealed in front of the Third Princess' lineage.
After thinking about it, Li An decided to test it.
Because, if he really works for Baihu Mountain, there are only two situations:
First, what Baihu Mountain wants Li An to do is in line with the interests of the Third Princess' lineage, and the Third Princess' lineage will definitely remain silent.
Second, Li An's work for Baihu Mountain hurts the interests of the Third Princess' lineage...
If this is true, Li An thinks it is not a big problem!
His greatest confidence is himself.
Before he formed the elixir, the three princesses' lineage would not be able to attack him, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted. At most, they would use other means to prevent Li An from working for Baihu Mountain.
No matter what they do, they will not lose out!
It is very important to use this opportunity to test the interest relationship between Baihu Mountain, the royal palace, and the three princesses' lineage.
…
The next day.
Under his arrangement, someone sent the three pieces of Tiansha Stone to the Treasure Pavilion for appraisal.
Li An did not appraise it himself, but asked someone to find another ordinary treasure appraiser.
The treasure appraiser reported it to the higher authorities.
"Pavilion Master, these three pieces of Tiansha Stone are indeed all third-level and priceless..."
Li An said: "I remember that the royal palace once commissioned the pavilion to collect them. I suggest buying them directly!"
Su Xiuwan looked at Li An meaningfully, "Master Zuo, how many spiritual stones do you think are appropriate to buy?"
"30,000 spiritual stones!"
Li An spoke directly. Su Xiuwan was stunned for a moment. Li An had such a big appetite...
She approved 30,000 spiritual stones. It was a question whether there were 20,000 spiritual stones to buy the Heavenly Evil Stones. A large part of them would definitely be swallowed by Li An...
But she didn't say anything. "Leave it for now. I'll decide tomorrow. Also, bring the Heavenly Evil Stones up so I can take a closer look."
Li An left respectfully.
...
That night.
"Interesting, interesting,"
In a secret room, in front of the Soul-demanding Horse Face, the blood-shadow woman looked at the three Heavenly Evil Stones on the table and couldn't help laughing:
"I said that the White Tiger Mountain couldn't be indifferent. It turns out that they bribed Li An to do things for them..."
"Let Li An be an undercover agent and deliver problematic materials to the palace. When King Jingbei really attacks the Nascent Soul, the White Tiger Mountain will suddenly attack, and my sister can use this to deal with me..."
"A good show."
She was very impressed.
"Li An... is actually hooking up with Baihu Mountain!"
The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Guard said, "Senior, do you want..."
"What do you want?"
The Blood Shadow Woman sneered, "I want this Li An to be safe and happy."
The Soul-seeking Horse-Faced Guard was stunned. What does this mean?
"Baihu Mountain first sent a female cultivator with a yin fate, and now it asked Li An to help with the layout... This is when the fish starts to bite the hook."
"The more successful Li An is, the tighter she bites the hook."
"Only then can you successfully catch the fish."
The woman smiled slightly, "Let them know and help him."
"This Li An actually deceived my sister and became my sister's undercover. My sister didn't even know that he was born with a demon body..."
"Interesting."
...
The next day. "The palace is very satisfied with these three pieces of Tiansha Stone."
Su Xiuwan said: "Chief Zuo has made a great contribution to collecting these rare treasures this time!"
"The palace said that the more of these things, the better."
Li An felt relieved when he heard this!
It seems that the lineage of the Third Princess... chose to help Baihu Mountain deal with the palace!
Of course, this does not mean that the lineage of the Third Princess and the Baihu Mountain Demon Cult have common interests and are common allies.
It is also possible that the lineage of the Third Princess is deliberately using Baihu Mountain.
But Li An doesn't care.
The current situation is enough!
In this way, Li An can easily obtain resources from both sides without worrying about being blocked.
Now, the lineage of the Third Princess treats him as a furnace, thinking that he is unaware and "raising pigs".
From the perspective of Baihu Mountain, he is "Xu Qiuhui", an "undercover" of Baihu Mountain.
But Li An knew the plans of both parties and maintained a delicate balance in the vortex.
This card...is gradually becoming interesting.
