A few days later, Li An received his monthly allowance, which was quite generous:
One thousand top-grade spirit stones and three fifth-grade "Enlightenment Pills".
Li An is currently in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit. He needs to consume about 500 top-grade spirit stones every month. There is still a surplus, and he can buy the materials he wants in the sect.
Enlightenment Pills are only auxiliary pills that can keep the cultivator's spirit full and maintain a keen state of enlightenment. As for the pills used to improve the strength of cultivation, Dao Sect has very strict control and basically cannot use them at ordinary times.
Because Dao Sect has never liked disciples to rely on external objects to improve themselves.
Only when the disciples work hard enough, but are just a little short, Dao Sect will issue the corresponding pills. Don't think about using them during daily cultivation. Using them is against the sect rules!
Most of Li An's accumulation is on the puppet "Gao Tai". He lacks a lot of things, such as talisman paper, talisman pen, formation, alchemy furnace, etc. If you want to get these things quickly, you can only complete the corresponding tasks issued by Dao Sect and then exchange them.
But Li An decided to save up spiritual stones to buy it slowly.
Anyway, he can make a few hundred spiritual stones every month.
Besides, practicing in the Dao Sect has a high safety factor. It is not like being a casual cultivator outside. You may have to fight and kill at any time and anywhere, so you must have the means to protect the Dao.
"Brother Li,"
Chen Ning came and brought him a lot of daily necessities, including a pair of spiritual shoes and clothes she made herself. She smiled and said:
"Brother, you will definitely open up your own spiritual field in the future. It will be more comfortable to wear this when you enter the field. Brother, see if it is suitable?"
Li An took it and noticed that the stitches of the clothes and spiritual shoes were very dense. Obviously Chen Ning was very attentive. He just smiled and thanked him.
"By the way, brother, some people on the peak have been spreading rumors about you recently. You must not take it to heart..."
Chen Ning reminded again.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Li An was very interested. "It's all hearsay. Some people say you are a demon cultivator and collude with the Demon Cult..."
"It's not hearsay, it's true."
Li An said calmly: "Junior Sister Chen Ning, I am a demon cultivator, are you afraid?"
Chen Ning was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Li An to be so frank, but she immediately laughed and said: "Even if you were a demon cultivator before, you are my second senior brother now! Who cares what you were like before... Senior brother, there is a saying that everything in the past is a prologue. As long as you start over, it's never too late..."
"They said that you were once married to Senior Sister Qingxue from the Demon Ancestor Peak. Is this true?" She suddenly asked again.
"This is false."
Li An said lightly.
He could imagine that Dao Sect suddenly had two more true disciples, one of whom followed the headmaster to practice... This was very unusual in itself. In addition, among the insiders, there were Tianhuo Peak, Tianlei Peak and other people who hated the Demon Cult to the core. It was normal for news about them to spread.
And Li An's story... to some extent, it is really bizarre and legendary, just like what is written in a novel, so it will naturally spread more widely.
"Brother, do you know the art of planting and raising? Do you want me to teach you?"
Chen Ning is handsome and cute, and very proactive. Li An did not say it, and said, "Okay."
The two of them immediately reclaimed the spiritual field outside Li An's cave. Chen Ning generously took out a lot of spiritual soil, saying that it could improve the soil quality for Li An, and gave him some spiritual medicine seeds.
"Is Brother Li here?"
At this time, three people came outside.
Li An already had some impression of these people. The leader was named Zhao Nangeng, and the other two were Long Lu and Xie Yang. These three were all gods of Changqing Peak!
There were quite a few gods of Changqing Peak, a total of more than a dozen, but only two or three of them belonged to the younger generation, and the others were older practitioners. Among these three, only Xie Yang and Li An belonged to the same generation.
"Several junior brothers are here, sorry for not welcoming you..."
Li An stepped forward, and the cultivators were surprised to see Chen Ning beside him.
"Junior sister Chen Ning, it's the birthday of our eldest senior brother, and we asked you to help him host the event for a few days. You said you were very busy, but you ended up being busy with our second senior brother..."
Long Lu smiled and joked. He was a generation older than Li An and the others, and looked like a middle-aged man. His words immediately made Chen Ning blush, and he said, "I'm here to give our second senior brother some daily necessities. This is arranged by Master."
"Did Master also arrange for you and our second senior brother to cultivate the land?"
Long Lu asked with a smile.
Li An frowned slightly. Did this person think he didn't exist? He immediately said indifferently: "What can I do for you, three junior brothers?"
"Oh, it's like this, Second Senior Brother, Master is in seclusion now. This time he has been in seclusion for three hundred years. All the affairs of the peak are temporarily managed by Senior Brother. Senior Brother has made a lot of contributions and hard work. His birthday is coming soon, so we, as junior brothers, can't just sit there and watch, right? So we decided to celebrate for him..."
Zhao Nangeng smiled and said, "So I came to discuss with Second Senior Brother how to prepare a gift for Senior Brother?"
Li An said: "Everyone can do what they want. I just arrived at Changqing Peak and I don't have anything on hand... Well, I'll give you fifty top-grade spirit stones."
As he said that, he took out fifty spirit stones and handed them to Zhao Nangeng.
Zhao Nangeng was stunned on the spot.
What the hell is this? Just fifty? ? ?
Li An was very indifferent. These birds want to flatter Senior Brother, what's his business?
Occasionally there is a little happy event, and Li An will never be stingy with gifts, but the master is in seclusion for 300 years. How many times must these people curry favor with the senior brother in 300 years? Li An has to bleed every time?
That's all thanks to...
Li An's principle is that there is no need to waste money on useless socializing.
"Second senior brother, we have discussed it. As a true disciple and a newcomer, you should show more. You don't need to give spiritual stones. You can give the Qingmu Immortal Art to the senior brother as a gift. It's the most appropriate!"
Xie Yang said directly, "This is the result of everyone's discussion."
Li An raised his eyebrows. It turned out that he came for this matter...
The King of Hell is better than the little ghost. He had thought about it a long time ago. The peak master is in seclusion, so naturally he can't take care of these disciples for the time being.
"Everyone discussed it, have you discussed it with me?"
Li An said calmly. "I'm here to discuss this with you..."
"I don't agree."
Li An said calmly: "I'll just pay fifty, take it or leave it!"
To put it bluntly, he and his senior brother Song Qingsong are both true disciples, so why should they bow their heads?
Li An never needs the so-called dignity and face. If it is the birthday of the peak master, Li An will take the initiative to find an opportunity to send the immortal secret to him without anyone saying anything, even kneeling to send it.
But who do you think you are, Song Qingsong?
What level.
If he bows his head in front of his peers, Li An will have a hard time in the future.
"What do you mean? Senior brother works so hard, and you can't even give up this little thing?!"
Long Lu frowned, "Second senior brother, you are too stingy..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li An slapped him!
Long Lu's face changed drastically. He didn't care that Li An dared to do it, so he slapped him directly.
Pa!
Long Lu took two steps back, covered his face, and said in disbelief, "You, you demon cultivator, you dare to hit me, you dare to hit me?!" He was extremely angry. They had already found out about Li An's background during this period. In fact, he didn't have any real backers. He just relied on the relatives who greeted him. But the key is that the people who greeted him have left and can't take care of Li An. In addition, for some reason, it seems that someone secretly added fuel to the fire. Even the news that Li An was abolished by the headmaster for his demon cultivation was spread, and it was not quite the same as the fact. According to the rumors, Li An originally wanted to go to Tiandao Peak to lick his face, but the headmaster was very displeased with Li An and sent him to Changqing Peak and abolished him... So the disciples on Changqing Peak generally felt that Li An actually had no background. In this way, the Qingmu Immortal Art on him naturally attracted covetousness. But now Li An dared to attack them...
"Second Senior Brother, we all came to you with good intentions, but you are so ungrateful..."
Zhao Nangeng shook his head: "You started it first, don't blame us!"
His cultivation of the Spiritualization Stage was immediately released.
Xie Yang and Long Lu beside him also had gloomy faces, ready to teach Li An, the "true disciple" a lesson!
"You dare..."
Chen Ning's face changed drastically, and said: "Wait for Master to come out of retreat, you will be punished!"
She was only in the late Nascent Soul stage and could not help at all.
"Junior Sister Chen Ning, according to the rules of the Taoist sect, except for the Great Dao disciples, all disciples can challenge the true disciples. Your second senior brother is a genius, and we challenge him, which is not considered a violation of the sect rules!"
Zhao Nangeng spoke calmly.
Li An coughed slightly, his face turned slightly pale, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He said, "It seems that there is another rule in the sect, which is not to take advantage of others' misfortune. My magic cultivation was abolished by the headmaster, and my injury has not healed yet..."
"Sorry, I can only slap you in vain. I don't accept your challenge."
He spread his hands.
Hearing this, Long Lu and the other two looked very ugly.
Does this guy still have any shame?
Among the true disciples, who is not a true genius? As long as there is a challenge, they will never refuse it. As a result, Li An actually escaped due to illness...
"Who wants to challenge Li An, first pass me!"
At this time, a voice sounded like thunder!
Everyone hurriedly turned back, but saw that three people had quickly arrived in the air. They were Xiang Yuntian, An Li, and Gu Canye, the first genius of Xiajian Peak!
Seeing these three people coming, Long Lu and the other two changed their faces.
Xiang Yuntian landed in front of Li An, stared at him, and his eyes were already filled with tears. He suddenly stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged Li An.
Seeing each other again after hundreds of years, Li An was also full of mixed feelings, but this guy hugged him so hard that he couldn't breathe, so he had to say: "Hey, hey, hey, two grown men hugging each other, what's the matter... Let go, let me go!"
Xiang Yuntian then let Li An go, laughing: "Old sinister, old thief! You old sinner, fucking old sinner, you are so sinister, you are so sinister!!"
After saying that, he suddenly drew his sword and said: "You even lied to me, you are not a human, old sinner, take my sword!"
He slashed at Li An with a sword, and the sword intent was as wild as clouds, shaking the entire Changqing Peak. Long Lu and others beside him all changed their faces. I don't know why this happened. Xiang Yuntian was just like a madman.
One moment they were so affectionate, and the next moment they wanted to kill Li An?
But Li An stood there motionless, and Xiang Yuntian's thunderous sword intent finally turned into a drizzle, washing away all the dust on Li An.
He made light of heavy things, and possessed both tiger and rose!
With just this sword, Li An already understood that Xiang Yuntian's sword cultivation had advanced further.
"How about it, my sword is good, isn't it? Hahaha... The old and dishonest peak master pushed your grave and forced me to fight him for three days and three nights until I had a little breakthrough, and then he told me the truth. You f*cking want me to die..."
Xiang Yuntian put away his sword, grinning, his eyes sparkling.
"Meet Uncle Li An!"
An Li had also stepped forward, his eyes quite excited.
"Brother Li plays with Dao Zong in the palm of his hand, which is really extraordinary and should be exposed!"
Gu Canye smiled and spit out the grass root in his mouth, saying: "I am the host and brought two thousand kilograms of good wine. How about not going home until you are drunk today?"
Li An smiled and said: "Okay, not going home until you are drunk!"
After that, he looked at Long Lu and the other two and said: "Sorry, three of you, I am not healed from my injuries. I want to drink now and I don't have time to duel with you."
Long Lu and the other two looked very ugly. Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye were here, how dare they make noise here?
In these years, among the true disciples, Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye were the most powerful ones. It is said that they have challenged the disciples of the Dao level and are famous.
They hurriedly slipped away. "Stop!"
But Xiang Yuntian roared and pointed his sword at the three of them: "If you come to bother me again, I will take my sword to Changqing Peak and challenge the other true disciples of your peak and your elders and peak masters. Remember?"
Dao Sect does not allow the strong to bully the weak. Xiang Yuntian cannot attack Long Lu and the other two. But after hearing what Xiang Yuntian said, they were also scared. If this evil star really came to challenge the eldest brother Song Qingsong, I am afraid that Song Qingsong would not be enough for him to chop with a few swords. Instead, they made things worse.
After they left.
"Let's go, get drunk, get drunk today! If you don't drink a thousand kilograms of wine, you will be finished if I don't chop you..."
Xiang Yuntian pulled Li An to his cave.
"Junior sister Chen Ning, do you want to have a few drinks together?" Li An smiled at Chen Ning.
"No, no, I won't disturb you, senior brothers... I'll take my leave first."
She left in a hurry, thinking as she walked, who said that Senior Brother Li An had no background in the sect? This network... seems to be much stronger than that of Senior Brother Song Qingsong!
She became more determined in her mind.
...
Clinking glasses.
Drinking, drinking, and drinking again.
Xiang Yuntian was particularly happy. He had guarded Li An's tomb for hundreds of years. Li An's death had always been a source of worry for him. Now that Li An was still alive, he was really happy.
Gu Canye was also very happy. Li An was not dead. In this way, Xiang Yuntian's worry could be eliminated, and he would definitely be able to make further progress in the way of the sword...
The four chatted freely.
Gu Canye had just broken through to the realm of refining emptiness a hundred years ago, while Xiang Yuntian's realm was only the late stage of transformation of spirit, and even An Li was in the late stage of Yuanying.
Li An was not far behind Xiang Yuntian.
"After you died, I beat Luo Zijie and Dai Xiongtian. I was going to beat Li Yunxiao, but unfortunately, I was stopped by that ruthless woman Tan Qingxue, and I couldn't beat her..."
Xiang Yuntian was a little drunk, talking about the past: "He's a ruthless person, an old sly guy, don't bother him, she has also practiced the Void, but Li Yunxiao failed to awaken the Heavenly Blood, hehe..."
Li An just smiled, Tan Qingxue, Li Yunxiao... he really didn't take them to heart.
Avenge if there is a chance, forget it if there is no chance.
What Li An is thinking about now is the three unfathomable major changes and the great catastrophe. It is really difficult for a specific person around him to move his heartstrings again.
Whether it is a genius or a great power, they will be very small and very small.
After a long time, An Li supported the drunk Xiang Yuntian and Gu Canye and prepared to leave.
"And this, this..."
Before leaving, Xiang Yuntian stuffed a storage bag into Li An's hand.
Li An said, "No, my monthly allowance is enough..."
"Take it, I'll let you take it!"
"I was going to burn it for you this month... Four hundred years, four hundred years, you've made me burn so many good things, damn, I'm so heartbroken, I'm so heartbroken!"
Xiang Yuntian cursed and finally left.
Li An opened the storage bag and saw that there were some spiritual stones and some spiritual medicines to nourish the dantian, but the quantity was not much, and there was also
There are so many beautiful female paper figurines, paper caves, etc., all of which are very exquisitely made. They should be made by a master of talismans. They are magnificent...
"Fuck..."
Li An couldn't help feeling a little depressed, but with so many female paper figurines, what kind of rapist did this guy think he was?
But he smiled again.
A pure smile.
...
"Did I ask you to find out about his background? Did I ask you to provoke him?"
At this moment, on Changqing Peak, in a cave for cultivation.
Song Qingsong's face was very gloomy, and he said, "I am a true disciple, the first disciple of Changqing Peak. If you spread it out like this and say that I bullied Li An, wouldn't my reputation be ruined in your hands?!"
He was very unhappy!
"Big Brother, we have good intentions..."
Long Lu said, "But Li An is really too much. He doesn't take you seriously. He is only willing to give out fifty top-grade spirit stones for your birthday... Isn't this an insult to you?"
Xie Yang said, "Besides, he dared to slap Big Brother Long Lu... He is really too arrogant!"
Both looked at Song Qingsong, hoping that Song Qingsong could teach Li An a lesson.
But Song Qingsong shook his head:
"The peak master asked me to take charge of all matters on the peak. If I target him, it will easily give others a handle to accuse me of abusing my power for personal gain, which is not appropriate..."
As a true disciple of Dao Sect, he still has some integrity.
"Big Brother is right..."
Zhao Nangeng nodded after thinking, and said, "In this case, we will not bother him in the future."
"Brother Long, Xie Yang, we will not bother Big Brother anymore. Let's go first--"
Long Lu and Xie Yang wanted to say something else, but they had to follow Zhao Nangeng. Before leaving, Zhao Nangeng suddenly said, "Big Brother, there is one more thing."
"Didn't we ask Junior Sister Chen Ning to take care of your birthday these days? She has been busy. When we went to find Li An, Junior Sister Chen Ning was helping Li An to sort out the spiritual field."
He was about to leave, but Song Qingsong suddenly raised his eyes and said, "What?——"
...
For a period of time, Li An practiced as usual. There was nothing unusual about his dealings with Song Qingsong on weekdays. On the occasion of Song Qingsong's birthday, he also sent a very heavy gift.
He was both hard and soft. He beat Long Lu to make the other party sensible, not to completely freeze the relationship.
At the same time, he also keenly noticed the relationship between Chen Ning and Song Qingsong. When Chen Ning came to him later, he often used seclusion as an excuse to avoid seeing him.
He was not afraid of Song Qingsong, but there was really no need to cause trouble for a woman.
Seeing this, Song Qingsong did not make things difficult for him.
"Brother Zhao, are we just going to let it go?"
Long Lu was getting more and more angry. As a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, he was slapped in the face... He couldn't help but feel angry!
"Li An, this coward, took the initiative to give face to the senior brother. The senior brother was proud of his status and was even more unwilling to target him..."
Xie Yang said coldly: "You can only challenge him!"
"Crazy, then Xiang Yuntian..."
Long Lu was a little scared.
"What are you afraid of? When he recovers from his injury, you can challenge him to fight alone. Xiang Yuntian can't say anything... You are not afraid of Li An, right?"
Zhao Nangeng smiled slightly, "Don't forget, if we don't seize this opportunity of Li An, we will never have the chance to touch the immortal formula in this life..."
Their goal is the immortal formula!
There are immortal methods in the Taoist sect, but unless they are true disciples or great disciples, others have no chance to touch them at all!
Although the Taoist sect advocates following the will of heaven and letting nature take its course, how many people who embark on the road of cultivating immortals can really see through it? Especially for them, although they were not true disciples, they were also geniuses, so they were naturally unwilling.
Li An carried a "Qingmu Immortal Art" on him. This immortal art did not belong to Dao Sect. As long as they could get it through reasonable means, Dao Sect would not care about anything!
This was their only chance.
Even last time, they took advantage of the issue and forced Li An to take it out by taking advantage of Song Qingsong's birthday. They were mainly for their own interests and wanted to use Song Qingsong's banner to force Li An to surrender, but they didn't expect Li An to ignore it at all.
Long Lu said: "I'm afraid of him?"
He was full of hatred, "Just a remnant of the demon path..."
"I have asked the doctor from Huichun Peak to come for him. As long as the doctor says that his injury is healed, he must accept the challenge at that time..."
Zhao Nangeng smiled slightly.
When the cultivator from Huichun Peak came to treat Li An's injury, Li An immediately understood something.
The doctor told Li An that his injury was not serious. It was just that when the headmaster abolished his cultivation, his meridians were slightly injured. He would recover in half a year.
After hearing this, Li An hesitated for a moment, and after the doctor left, he took the initiative to enlarge the cracks in his meridians...
...
Three months later.
The doctor: "Why is it getting worse?"
The female cultivator was very puzzled and said, "Is it because my medical skills are not good enough? It shouldn't be... You should cultivate carefully, and you will be fine in two years at most."
Two years later.
The doctor: "... You will be fine in five years."
Zhao Nangeng and others: "Fuck..."
"Bitch... I have never seen such a shameless true disciple!"
"He has ruined the reputation of the true disciples!"
They were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a play...
Which true disciple would be so mean to use such a trick to avoid a fight!
...
In fact, from the perspective of cultivation, Li An was not afraid of Long Lu and the other two.
Even if the other three come together, he is confident that he can defeat them now!
But there is no need.
Li An came to Dao Sect for only one purpose, to practice in a low-key manner, so he would avoid conflicts even with practitioners at a lower level than him.
Fighting, fighting for fame and fortune are nothing to him.
The most important thing is to make full use of the rules and practice peacefully.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was fifty years later.
For fifty years, Li An lived in seclusion. Except for occasional meetings with Xiang Yuntian and others, he hardly had much contact with the outside world.
Moreover, for fifty years, his injuries have not healed...
And he registered at Huichun Peak, so it was even more legitimate for him to avoid fighting...
This directly made Zhao Nangeng and others lose their temper, and their mentality collapsed...
For fifty years, he has adapted to the practice rhythm of Dao Sect, and his cultivation is stable, still in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit.
His cave was becoming more and more perfect, and he had already laid two fourth-level formations. Although he had mastered the method of making fifth-level formations, he chose to hide his incompetence.
In fact, the fourth-level formation was redundant. It was very safe in Dao Sect, and the resources were sufficient. He just used to defend himself.
He also bought talismans and talisman pens, and relaxed about alchemy. After all, alchemy, which was very popular in the outside world, was not popular in Dao Sect.
Anyone who used elixirs to practice would be despised, and the sect rules did not allow it. Li An did not dare to take it himself after refining it, and no one would buy it.
This made him sigh that Dao Sect had opened his eyes.
The strength of a sect is definitely not determined by a gifted cultivator or a magic weapon.
What is more important is a persistent ecology!
This ecology can continuously produce strong people and geniuses.
"Generally speaking, if the Hedao realm is strong enough, there is a chance to attract heavenly thunder, and the Lianxu realm triggers heavenly thunder, although it is rare, but it does exist."
"According to records, if you use the Thunder Dao Stone when breaking through the Lianxu realm, you may attract heavenly tribulation!"
"However, the Yin and Yang in the Lianxu realm are not combined, and the vitality of ordinary cultivators can't bear it at all. Only a few have survived, and basically they have life-saving sacred objects on their bodies."
"I have the Yangming Zhuxian Jue as my foundation, and my vitality is far greater than that of ordinary people, so it should be no problem!"
After so many years, Li An finally found a way to attract heavenly tribulation from the classics of the Dao Sect.
The complete Yangming Zhuxian Jue can reach eternity, and the most important thing is to use the power of heaven and earth to temper the life seed.
"There is still a long time, I have to reserve a large number of life-saving elixirs, etc., and at the same time, I have to find a way to get the Thunder Dao Stone..."
Li An has a goal.
"In addition, my life treasure has officially begun to be sacrificed..."
In his Dantian, a reduced stone coffin is stored.
After years of cultivation, he has been able to fully control this stone coffin.
The space inside the immortal coffin is vast and can be large or small. If it is small, it can only accommodate one person. If it is large, it can be about three thousand miles in radius.
Moreover, this thing can be called a real treasure, forming a small world in itself.
Li An has already had a preliminary idea about this magic weapon he got!
This magic weapon has two advantages: one is indestructible, and the other is that it can hold things.
"If I fill the immortal coffin with talismans, talismans, poisons, evil spirits, miasma, sky fire, weak water and other things, and pour them out when fighting with others, what kind of scene would it be?"
Li An imagined this picture and felt...
Great.
In addition, he also planned to make this immortal coffin into a small world where he could practice!
If he could find a high-grade small spiritual vein to put in it, maybe he could enter the immortal coffin to practice in the future?
"Second Senior Brother,"
At this time, Chen Ning came from outside, and Li An pretended to be in seclusion and still ignored her.
"Second Senior Brother, I will be engaged to my eldest senior brother, and I came to send an invitation--"
Hearing this, Li An opened the formation and said: "Junior Sister, please come in--"
Fifty years have passed, and Chen Ning's face has not changed. She still looks the same as before and enters Li An's cave.
"Congratulations to Junior Sister on your marriage--"
Li An smiled and said.
But Chen Ning looked at Li An affectionately and said: "Second Senior Brother, I haven't agreed to my eldest senior brother yet."
Li An was stunned. What does Chen Ning mean?
...
