Lihua.
More than a hundred years ago, when Jiang's family was destroyed, Li An asked Lihua and Sun Jinxue to leave Jiang's family before leaving. Moreover, he gave Lihua a small bottle of elixir he had refined, which could reshape Lihua's Dantian.
The reason for doing this was nothing more than a good intention. After all, he used Lihua to enter Jiang's family. Later, Lihua encountered a disaster, but she always believed in him, which was considered a cause and effect.
He didn't expect that he would meet Lihua today.
After leaving Jiang's family, did she go to Taiyi Sect?
In more than a hundred years, her foundation has been completed. It seems that she is not a core disciple in Taiyi Sect, but she is also highly valued.
"Sir, the remnants of Zhao Changkong have been killed, and the spies of Taiyi Sect have been captured alive--"
Gu Xuanting reported respectfully.
"Good!"
Li An first checked the two real Dan cultivators of Taiyi Sect.
The two True Dan cultivators were relatively wealthy. The total amount of spiritual stones they had on them, converted into high-grade spiritual stones, should be about 3,000.
However, the fourth-level materials that Li An wanted, neither of them brought with them. Obviously, the two were only here to negotiate with Zhao Changkong, not for the final deal.
Putting away the spiritual stones, Li An stared at one of them, "Tell me, what do you want to do in Tiansha Mountains?"
The two were extremely indifferent and unmoved.
Li An didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Lihua and others and said coldly, "You guys, get out of Tiansha Mountains and go back to tell people outside that from now on, no one is allowed to enter Tiansha Mountains, otherwise they will be killed. Do you understand?!"
Lihua and others were still in shock. At this moment, they were very grateful to know that they could not die. They hurriedly left trembling.
Li An asked people to put away the spoils, take the two cultivators of Taiyi Sect with them, and immediately go to see General Jiaman.
...
Lihua and the others fled at high speed, but not long after they fled, a True Dan cultivator appeared in front of them——
This cultivator was covered in a cloak, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?"
Lihua and the others were immediately alert.
"Don't worry about who I am, take this thing back to the people behind you."
He threw a jade talisman directly, and it fell into Lihua's hand.
"Go away, the main road of Tiansha Mountain Range has been blocked, take the small road, the southeast corner is still vacant."
After saying that, the man left directly.
Lihua and the others looked at each other, but then ran away immediately.
...
Before the others returned, Li An reported the whole story to Jiaman, and also used the reflecting crystal to record the whole process, so Jiaman just glanced at it and nodded: "Master Lin is in charge, I am relieved."
——Yes, all this was done by Li An!
As early as half a month ago, he had just come out of retreat. After learning about the current situation, he decided on this plan and secretly informed General Jiaman.
General Jiaman was also worried and was very satisfied with Li An's plan, so he directed such a drama.
Kill all the infiltrators sent by Dali, and take the opportunity to destroy Zhao Changkong and Taiyi Sect.
The reason why he suggested Jiaman to do this was more for self-protection.
After all, Dali continued to infiltrate the Tiansha Mountains, which was very unfriendly to him. What if any mountain master really colluded with Dali and caught them all in one fell swoop, wouldn't Li An be finished?
Now helping the demon clan is helping himself. He doesn't want the Tiansha Mountains, this piece of pure land, to be touched by Dali.
Secondly, he is too poor now.
Therefore, these spies, spies, etc. sent by Dali... are the best targets for robbery.
Let the people of the entire Tiansha Mountains take action, and his robbery will be much safer!
"Lord Jiaman, this is the spoils from the people of Taiyi Sect and Zhao Changkong--"
Li An presented a pile of storage rings.
But Jiaman smiled, "Lord Lin has made such a great contribution, you can take these things yourself."
"In addition, I will also ask for credit for Lord Lin--"
Li An said excitedly: "Thank you Lord Jiaman for the reward... But, where is Lin An's credit? All this is Lord Jiaman's credit, Lin An is just doing what Lord Jiaman ordered..."
Jiaman laughed, "Okay! It's up to you!"
"By the way, do you want to interrogate the two spies of Taiyi Sect again? I kept them alive... but they are very stubborn."
"Kill them, there is no use keeping them!"
Li An nodded and left immediately.
After he left.
"This Lin An is really a talent..."
Jiaman whispered.
"General, why not promote this person to be your deputy general? In this way, it may be much better to have this person to assist you in future work."
A True Dan cultivator next to him spoke.
Jia Man glanced at him coldly, and the True Dan cultivator immediately shut up and dared not say anything more.
"Do you think Lin An is someone I can use?"
After a long time, Jia Man slowly said: "If he really wants to be promoted... let alone a deputy general, even my position as a general is nothing to him."
The True Dan cultivator's face changed drastically. Lin An actually has such ability? Or does he have an incredible background?
General Jia Man didn't say much, just waved his hand, and the cultivator immediately withdrew.
"People only know that I am in Tiansha Mountains to protect the border, but they don't know that the order I received is... Tiansha Mountains can be lost, but Lin An must not make any mistakes!" After he left, General Jiaman whispered to himself, "What general... I am just a bodyguard, and I can't say it openly, and I can't leave any traces. I can only protect secretly." "It's good to have a background." He couldn't help but sigh! ... After the battle, the news that Zhao Changkong colluded with Taiyi Sect and had been killed by General Jiaman also spread throughout the Tiansha Mountains. All the mountain masters were shocked. They all understood what this meant. Killing the chicken to scare the monkey! From now on, if others want to hook up with the human forces outside, they must think twice. ... Back to their own territory. A man covered in a cloak has returned. Li An directly used magic to search for the whole story of the cloaked man! This cloaked man is the only flesh and blood puppet that Li An has refined in the past forty years!
At the early stage of the True Pill, his cultivation is not high, and Li An has wiped out most of his consciousness, making him slightly more "intelligent" than the corpse puppet.
What Li An did this time was not only to destroy Zhao Changkong and others, but more importantly to replace Zhao Changkong and do business with Taiyi Sect!
But doing business with Taiyi Sect is also very risky. If Li An can kill Zhao Changkong, it does not mean that he cannot be killed by others.
So, he took a detour, let Lihua and others go, and then let the puppet contact the other party.
In this way, his identity was kept secret, and Taiyi Sect did not know who he was in the subsequent transactions. Even if General Jiaman discovered him, Li An could cover it up calmly and it was safe.
"Go and wait."
Li An drove the puppet and asked it to go to a place at the entrance of Tiansha Mountains to wait for people from Taiyi Sect.
...
Li An took inventory.
After killing Zhao Changkong and more than a dozen of his men, Li An and his men gained a lot.
It was a time to use people, so Li An was generous in distributing the spoils, and he didn't take too much.
Two third-grade spiritual medicines containing Taiyin Qi and one fourth-grade infant-transforming pill auxiliary medicine were all good things.
Other runes, materials and other resources, plus various spiritual stones, were equivalent to more than 6,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Now he has nearly 10,000 spiritual stones in his hand!
But this little spiritual stone... is still not much for him now.
He and the two late Jindan Qingyan Shenque, plus three real Dan spiritual birds, have to consume nearly 150 high-grade spiritual stones every month for basic practice.
That's 1,800 a year.
Eight thousand high-grade spiritual stones are only enough for his basic practice for five or six years.
It's not enough to buy other supplies.
Then he entered the secret room.
The two cultivators of Taiyi Sect were imprisoned here.
"No matter what you want to ask, I won't tell you..."
One of the cultivators said stubbornly.
Li An smiled, "You misunderstood. I won't ask."
He walked over and grabbed the cultivator's throat, "Whatever I want to know, I will find the answer myself--"
He used magic to read the memories of the two cultivators and trained them into puppets!
"Sha crystal or sha corpse..."
The information he got from the memories of the two cultivators was similar to what he got from Zhao Changkong.
What Taiyi Sect wanted to trade with Zhao Changkong was sha corpse or sha crystal!
As long as they could provide these things to Taiyi Sect, Taiyi Sect could even give Zhao Changkong the formula of the infant pill, or the fourth-grade talisman, refining materials, array materials, etc.
They also promised that after Zhao Changkong left the Tiansha Mountains, he could go to Taiyi Sect as a guest official.
The conditions were very good. Taiyi Sect is a righteous sect, not a sect of evil cultivators. Evil crystals are of little use to them. The reason they are looking for them seems to be related to an organization called "Xiancai Hall".
Xiancai Hall is the darling of the Dali Empire. It is said that it was built by the White Tiger Queen herself. Only the world's top geniuses can enter it.
And Taiyi Sect has several elites who have entered the Xiancai Hall. The evil crystals and evil corpses that Taiyi Sect is looking for are for them.
Li An thought that the White Tiger Queen was just an agent of Shangguan Shengxian!
Obviously, this Xiancai Hall should have been created by Shangguan Shengxian. Maybe the practice is magic.
This is also normal. After all, Shangguan Shengxian also has the ambition to revive the Demon Sect. It is reasonable to cultivate the descendants of the Demon Sect while expanding its strength.
So, the talents of the Xiancai Hall need evil crystals and evil corpses, right? After all, these things are very helpful for magic!
Evil crystals, Li An still has them!
He has not used them up. But, take it out to trade with Taiyi Sect? That's obviously impossible.
This kind of thing is too sensitive, and it must not be shown to others.
But the evil corpse... maybe it can be fooled.
He has already refined the evil corpse of the demon, but if he uses other corpses and infects them with the energy of the evil crystal, ordinary people will definitely not be able to tell.
It should be enough to fool Taiyi Sect, right?
Of course, now we have to wait...wait for Taiyi Sect to contact him!
"Sir,"
At this time, Gu Xuanting's voice came from outside.
Li An walked out and said, "What's the matter?"
"There is someone in Tiansha City looking for you, saying that he is your old friend."
Li An was puzzled: "Old friend?"
"Yes... Xiang Yuntian."
Gu Xuanting's expression was slightly complicated. Most of the people under Master Baishan had some impression of this name.
"I'm afraid he will be discovered by other mountain masters, so I've temporarily hidden him... Sir, how should we deal with this man?"
Li An felt a headache. Xiang Yuntian, this big fool, didn't die in Zhongtian Central Continent...
Didn't he say before leaving that he was going to take revenge and might die?
Why did he come to me at this time? Is he crazy...
Li An just suggested that no outsiders should be allowed to enter Tiansha Mountain Range, and this guy sneaked in?
Really...
"Where is he... I'll go see him."
Li An spoke unhappily.
...
