……
The Jiang family is located on Xingluo Mountain. Every true alchemy level expert has his own independent peak. Jiang Ribai lives on the “White Crane Peak”.
The meeting was held in Jiang Ribai’s private mansion. Li An entered the living room, and the servant served the high-quality spiritual tea. Li An waited for a long time before an old man in white robe slowly arrived.
“Meet the real man!”
Li An hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The old man in white robe waved his hand, “There is no need to be too polite.”
He also sat down, with a round face that naturally gave people a sense of kindness. He smiled and said: “Little friend Wu Qin has done a lot to my Jiang family.”
Li Andao: “Senior praised you, it’s Wu Qin’s job.”
“My Jiang family will never treat meritorious people badly. Little friend Wu Qin’s cottage is gone. From now on, it is naturally better to stay in Jiang’s family. Moreover, Ruoli is also reluctant to part with you.”
“Ruoli” is the current name of Lihua. To recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, it is natural to name them according to the generation of characters in the clan.
“Hey, but at the clan meeting, there were a few ignorant people who said that little friend Wu Qin was born as a bandit and had a bad background. He shouldn’t stay in Jiang’s house. He should give you some spirit stones and send you off.” go out……”
He looked at Li An with a smile.
Li An’s face was very ugly.
But his heart was cold, Jiang Ribai, this old fox, was laying the groundwork!
“Later, the old man fought hard for a long time before they retreated…Leave little friend at Jiang’s house as a guest.”
Jiang Ribai said: “Little friend, are you still satisfied?”
Li An was flattered, stood up and said: “It is a great honor for Wu Qin to be a guest of the Jiang family, thank you senior for your support—”
“What kind of support is this!”
Jiang Ribai suddenly shook his head again, “How can a mere guest minister be worthy of the great contributions you have made to the Jiang family? I argued with the Patriarch and obtained a position of Shangqing for you!”
The position of Shangqing!
Li An was taken aback for a moment, and even more ecstatically, he even saluted.
“Senior is so kind, Wu Qin will never forget it!”
He naturally understood what Jiang Ribai meant by talking so much around the corner.
This is to point out that everything Li An has is given by him!
Let Li An understand who is Li An’s master in the Jiang family from now on.
Of course, Li An was quite happy in his heart.
There are only two ways for outsiders to enter Jiang’s family: through marriage or as a guest.
Marrying into the Jiang family or becoming a member of the Jiang family is the strongest bond.
The relationship between Ke Qing and the Jiang family is a little looser, accepting the salary and resources from the Jiang family, but also doing things for the Jiang family.
And “Shangqing” is very honorable among Keqing.
For a big family like the Jiang family, Shangqing is generally only qualified for the fake alchemy.
Li An’s current cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and it is indeed not easy to achieve such a status.
Jiang Ribai nodded in satisfaction, “But the Patriarch also said that if you don’t perform well, the position of Shangqing… can be taken away at any time.”
“So, from now on, you must work hard, understand?”
Li An nodded again and again, and said in a deep voice: “From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, Daoist! As instructed by your arm, it is absolutely unambiguous——”
Express your opinion directly.
Jiang Ribai was even happier, this Wu Qin… is still sensible!
He continued: “I heard people say that you are better at drawing symbols?”
This is the information Li An deliberately gave out. After all, entering the Jiang family does not have any skills and is of no use to the Jiang family. Why should they accept him?
“Correct.”
“Can you refine third-order talismans?”
“For now… not yet.”
Jiang Ribai nodded, “After you go to Zhike Peak, get familiar with the situation first.”
“After a while, I’ll tell you what to do.”
Li An nodded.
He is very clear that from now on, he will be Jiang Ribai’s “chess piece”.
It doesn’t matter.
To enter such a powerful force, you need to find a backer, a big tree with your back to enjoy the shade.
If there is no cover, you will not be able to get a position in your life!
So, I can accept it.
Jiang Ribai ordered some more things, and then Li An left.
Appointed by the Jiang family, a steward of the Jiang family took him to the “Zhi Ke Peak” where Ke Qing lived.
Most areas of Zhike Peak belong to the second-order spiritual vein area. Only those who have reached the fake pill and above and have accumulated enough credit for the Jiang family can apply for adjustment to the third-order spiritual vein area.
Although Li An has made great contributions, his cultivation base is not enough, so he only lives in the second-order spiritual vein area.
“Wu Shangqing, this is your house, let me take my leave—”
The steward took him to the place and left.
Entering the spacious house, Li An first took a hot bath under the service of the maid.
Comfortable.
Finally settled down in Jiang’s house!
Wait for a while, and then look for an opportunity to go to White Tiger City to retrieve the elixir.
Prepare for Dandan!
The news of the arrival of the new Shangqing also spread like wildfire in Zhike Peak. On the first day of his arrival, many guests came to visit.
Jiang’s family has a big business, and only Zhike Peak accommodates about 40 guest officials, almost all of whom are capable people and strangers, such as talisman masters, puppet masters, weapon refiners, alchemists, doctors, etc.
So many guest ministers were divided into three halls: “Zhuque hall”, “Baihu hall” and “Xuanwu hall”, and each hall was managed by a senior minister.
That’s right, Shangqing is in Zhike Peak, and belongs to the role of “manager”!
Shangqing can nominate and recommend new Keqing candidates to the Jiang family, and can also nominate and expel unqualified Keqing candidates.
Moreover, Shangqing’s salary is also more generous, as high as 500 yuan of spirit stones per month. In addition, he can also have the same qualifications as the internal personnel of the Jiang family, and can obtain ordinary resources in the Jiang family.
Of course, the most core resources will definitely not be available, Ke Qing is an outsider after all.
Zhike Peak has a chief guest minister and three Shangqing.
On the roster that Ang Li got, there are a total of thirteen guests in the “Xuanwutang” under his management, covering a complete range of categories.
Most of the people who came to visit tonight were these “subordinates”.
“Shangqing, these are the masters of our Xuanwu Hall. Brother Chen Rong is a doctor with excellent medical skills, and sister Wang Yue is an alchemist…”
Everyone sat facing each other, and one of them, a bright woman, took the initiative and enthusiastically introduced the situation to Li An.
This woman’s name is Sun Jinxue, she is a puppet master and talisman master, she seems to have a certain status among the crowd.
Everyone gave a gift, and Li An also returned the gift.
Everyone chatted very happily, and they all said some warm and polite words.
The crowd dispersed.
“Fellow Daoist Sun stay behind,”
Li An called Sun Jinxue to stop.
“Is there something else for Wu Shangqing?” Sun Jinxue smiled brightly with bright eyes.
“Feng Yuancheng, Lu Song, and Zhang Meng, do you know each other?”
Only these three did not come to visit!
“Feng Daoyou is also a talisman master with high attainments. Before that, he was highly valued in Xuanwu Hall. There were even rumors that he would become the new Shangqing…”
Sun Jinxue didn’t hide it and told Li An directly.
Li An instantly understood!
Li An’s “airborne” might have taken Feng Yuancheng’s place, so the other party didn’t come.
“Thank you Sun Daoyou for clarifying the confusion.”
“Shangqing is very polite,”
Sun Jinxue smiled, “By the way, Shangqing, I’m asking alchemist Wang Yue for help recently to refine the all-way Chongling pill. I still lack a second-grade ‘Iris Spirit Flower’. Can I ask Shangqing to help buy it? The spirit stones I need are up to me.” After the pill is completed, Shangqing can give half of it first, how about it?”
Li An’s heart skipped a beat.
There is no internal price for ordinary Keqing to buy supplies from the Jiang family, so it will be more expensive.
But ask him to buy it for a while, and give half a batch of panacea… This is a deliberate show of favor, surrender!
“Okay. Thanks a lot.”
Li An also smiled, “If you need anything in the future, just tell me.”
Sun Jinxue was overjoyed.
……
In the next two days, Li An took a closer look at the situation in Xuanwu Hall.
It’s more complicated than he imagined.
Feng Yuancheng was originally a member of another Zhendan elder——Jiang Ridong. According to common sense, Feng Yuancheng would definitely be promoted to Shangqing.
But Jiang Ribai had no influence on Zhike Peak.
But later, because of Ruo Li’s appearance, Jiang Ridong’s descendants were kicked out of the core seed candidates.
At the same time, Jiang Ribai even took the opportunity to beat the dog and pushed Li An, who had no foundation, to the top position.
The reason is to welcome Li Ruoli’s great contribution!
The Patriarch finally nodded in agreement with Jiang Ribai’s proposal.
Only then can Li An come over.
A small position change at the bottom may be the epitome of the fighting skills at the top!
Moreover, Li An’s identity is well known in the Jiang family. He was born as a bandit, but now he has a halo to protect his body, welcoming the important descendants of the Jiang family to return to his throne, and he was once the guide of the genius Ruoli.
It can be said that as long as Ruoli continues to be popular, Li An will be able to stay in the Jiang family like a fish in water.
This is also the reason why Sun Jinxue and others actively showed their favor to Li An.
Feng Yuancheng has lost power, but Li An has a promising future.
“It just so happens that this batch of pills will allow me to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and then practice for a few more years to achieve perfection. At that time, I will be able to propose to the family about borrowing land to make pills…”
Now that he is in the Jiang family, he has a backing and a foothold, and it only takes time for him to rush to Dan.
After all, if he can form the alchemy, it must be a good thing for Jiang Ribai, and it can strengthen his power in the clan.
During this period, according to Jiang Ribai’s wish, we will naturally eliminate dissidents and so on…
In a few days, plan to kill Feng Yuancheng first!
Once in charge of the Xiuxian family, Li An has long been familiar with these ghostly methods. Although Feng Yuancheng has been a guest minister in the Jiang family for several years, he is only a casual cultivator. In this regard, it is too easy for Li An to play him to death.
……
On the third day, Li An went to visit the other two Shangqing and the Chief.
These three people naturally have backgrounds in the clan.
The chief was retreating, but Li An didn’t see it.
Han Jize, the master of Qinglong Hall, is a master of fake alchemy, who is said to be able to refine third-order magic weapons.
Although he met Li An, he was quite indifferent, which is normal, after all, he is not comparable to Li An in terms of cultivation and skills!
Li An was only polite, and left after a cutscene.
“Shangqing of Baihutang, Tan Xue, spirit beast healer…”
Waiting outside Shangqing’s mansion in Baihutang, Li An was rather curious about this Tan Xue.
Spirit beast healers are very rare.
Similar to secular “veterinarians”, spirit beast healers can treat the injuries of spirit beasts.
As for the Yushou Jiang family, there should be no shortage of talents in this field. With the Jiang family not lacking at all, this Tan Xue can still be a high-ranking official, which shows that she must have something extraordinary.
“Please come in—”
The door servant who went to report brought Li An in respectfully.
Enter the living room.
A woman in white was sitting upright, she raised her eyes to look at Li An.
Seeing this woman, Li An was instantly shocked!
This……
The woman in front of her is clearly Tan Qingxue!
How can this be?
When we parted in Qingyangfang City, the last time Li An met her was writing a letter telling her to take refuge in Hefang City, Liuyang. Since then, he has never seen Tan Qingxue again.
But Tan Qingxue should have died of old age long ago!
After all, Li Ang is now 240 years old.
Tan Qingxue didn’t have the opportunity to build a foundation in the past, and with his cultivation in the Qi refining period, a lifespan of two hundred years is the limit.
However, Li An and Tan Qingxue had a close friendship, and they were too familiar with her breath. After confirming the formula of Nourishing Life and Casting Immortals, Li An was sure that the person in front of him was Tan Qingxue.
Tan Xue and Tan Qingxue are only one word apart.
“Wu Shangqing?”
Tan Xue smiled slightly.
Li An quickly recovered from his trance, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and his expression returned to normal, “Meet Tan Shangqing!”
“Wu Shangqing, please sit down. I’m too embarrassed to sit down if you stand like this.”
Tan Xue smiled brightly. Li An sat down, but was slightly dazed. He recalled the time when Qingyangfang City parted.
At that time, Tan Qingxue wanted a child very much, as a sustenance to rely on in her later years, but Li An devoted herself to it, locked Long Yuan tightly, and despite her begging in every possible way, Li An would not give her a single one.
In the end Tan Qingxue left. On the day she left, she wore light makeup and a white dress, and only said one thing to Li An:
“I hope that when you climb to a higher place on the fairy road, you can remember that there was a woman named Qingxue who once accompanied you.”
“Brother Li, goodbye.”
Over the years, Ang Lee had actually forgotten about her.
I just didn’t expect to see you here.
Although there were slight ups and downs in his heart, Li An quickly recovered his calm and analyzed it carefully.
After the catastrophe of the Xuanyang Sect, Tan Qingxue must have had an adventure!
Today’s Tan Qingxue is actually a Dzogchen cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Watch out for her eyes,”
In Li An’s altar, Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s voice came faintly: “If you are not careful, maybe you will be seen by her.”
Li An was alarmed.
“Wu has just arrived here, and he doesn’t know much about the affairs of Zhike Peak. From now on, I will ask Tan Shangqing to give me some pointers. A little courtesy is not a respect—”
Li An got up and handed over a gift box, but at this moment, he regretted so much in his heart.
In order to gain a foothold in Jiang’s family, he revealed that he has the ability to make talismans, so he also chooses to give talismans to the Keqing and Shangqing of Zhike Peak.
In the box he gave to Tan Qingxue, there were two second-order “Forbidden Breaking Talismans”.
If I had known it was Tan Qingxue, I should have sent some beauty pills or something.
After all, Tan Qingxue used to get along with him day and night, and now she doesn’t know what kind of opportunity she got, who knows if she will find out something…
“Wu Shangqing is too polite.”
Tan Qingxue smiled slightly, took the box with both hands, and then returned a gift, apparently already prepared.
“By the way, I heard that Wu Shangqing personally recited the Jiang Family’s Qingyan God Sparrow Egg from Wanzhang Yuan?”
She suddenly asked again.
Li An’s heart shuddered slightly, Tan Qingxue actually knew such detailed news!
It seems that Tan Qingxue’s position in the Jiang family is not simple.
“Yes, in fact, the god’s egg is the grandson of Elder Jiang Rihua, Mr. Jiang Ruolin got it himself, I just helped to take it for a while…”
“Then does Wu Shangqing know that the inexplicably extra evil spirit in the egg was there from the beginning, or did it come later?”
She looked at Ang Lee’s face.
Li An was a little nervous!
At that time, he was on the cliff of Wanzhangyuan, but he injected a lot of evil spirit with his own hands…
