Chapter 178 Practice in the Tiansha Mountains (Long Chapter)
Madam She took Li An and headed directly to the south.
“To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Lin, I was cultivating on the ‘Spiritual Rhyme Mountain’ in the south before. Although the spirit veins of Lingyun Mountain are also D-class, the evil spirit is the least among D-class.”
While walking, Mrs. She said: “Recently, because of some meritorious service, I was allowed to enter the third-class spiritual vein by the mountain lord to practice. The spiritual vein that I was originally in was temporarily vacant.”
Li An knew in his heart that Madam She would not have brought him here if he hadn’t performed well in front of Shanzhu and Xiaoying.
For the core interests of Lingmai, the little favor he gave was far from enough!
“This is Lingyun Mountain.”
The two landed in front of several peaks, “Lingyun Mountain’s spiritual pulse involves a total of four peaks, namely Lingdong Peak, Lingjing Peak, Lingyuan Peak, and Lingsha Peak. Among them, Lingsha Peak is the place where evil spirits gather. Difficult to use, but other places are good.”
Madam She opened her mouth, and after she finished speaking, she walked to the front of the mountain and waved her spiritual power, and a formation ripple appeared in front of her.
Several rays of light flew over from the mountain.
“Sister She, why are you back? Hey, who is this?”
The first one to arrive was a beautiful woman, with a plump figure and passionate eyes, she had a romantic temperament, which was quite seductive.
When she asked the question, another ray of light had already fallen. This was a man, his brows seemed to be tightly furrowed forever, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but there seemed to be an inexplicable hostility in his eyes, and said:
“Friend She Dao—”
Madam She said with a smile: “I brought this fellow Taoist Lin An here. He has just entered the sect of Lord Baishan and has been approved by Lord Baishan. He needs to find a Ding and other spiritual veins to practice.”
Both of them glanced at Li An, and the glamorous woman was quite surprised.
“Under Lin An, Master Fu, I’m here for the first time, please take care of the two fellow Taoists.”
Li Ang cupped his hands.
“He will live in my original Lingjing Peak to practice from now on, what do you two think?” Mrs. She asked.
“We have nothing to worry about about the people Sister She brought here, Fellow Daoist Lin, welcome.”
The beautiful woman smiled.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
……
Immediately, Li An entered the Lingyun Mountain and climbed to Lingjing Peak.
The four peaks of Lingyun Mountain are close to each other, and the aura is not weak. Although there are some evil spirits, compared to the ones encountered along the way, it is indeed superior!
The main reason is that the topography here is peculiar. Although the entire spiritual vein is polluted by evil spirits, Lingsha Peak has concentrated a lot of evil spirits, which has taken a lot of responsibility for the other three peaks.
Li An also knew that the beautiful woman’s name was Zhou Libai, she was a third-order puppet master and lived in Lingdong Peak.
The middle-aged man is Xiang Yuntian, a sword repairman who lives in Lingyuan Peak.
They are all true alchemists!
In addition to the two, there was another person——Zhou Libai’s husband, Ba Jijian, a craftsman, because he was in retreat, so he never came out to meet.
On Lingjing Peak, there is also the cave that Mrs. She left behind. She took Li An to familiarize herself with the environment, explained some things, and then left.
……
Li An was the only one left on Lingjing Peak.
Feeling the breath of the surrounding spiritual veins, Li An was quite happy in his heart.
From today onwards, it is considered that he has truly set foot in the Tiansha Mountains.
He first set up two sets of second-order formations on Lingjing Peak to cover up, then repaired Madam She’s original cave, and then set up a third-order formation around the cave!
After finishing all this, he entered the cave.
“The spiritual energy is not weak, but the evil spirit is also quite strong!”
Feeling it, Li An couldn’t help smiling.
Here, he can practice the art of nourishing life and casting immortals at the same time, magic skills!
For him, it is definitely a treasure.
But what he wanted to go most was Lingsha Peak.
The ratio of spiritual energy to evil energy in Lingjing Peak is almost five to one.
That is to say, if you absorb five parts of aura, you will carry one part of evil spirit.
There is a lot of evil energy concentrated on Lingsha Peak, feel it from a distance, at least the ratio of spiritual energy to evil energy is about three to one!
But going over now will definitely seem abrupt and strange, so Li An is not in a hurry, just wait slowly and draw it slowly.
What’s more, in addition to the Lingsha Peak, there are many spiritual veins in Lord Baishan’s territory that are so fierce that no one can cultivate them!
He sorted out the current situation.
The spiritual meridian has been settled, the Nourishment and Casting Immortal Art and the Immortal Demon Art can be practiced normally, and the energy of the Taiyin and the energy of the devil can grow at the same time.
Among the main cultivation methods, Jinzangjue does not lack the metal materials that Jinzangjue temporarily needs, and it can last for a while.
The Three-Yuan Slash has already achieved a small success. This is his main fighting method. With his current level of spiritual power, it is very powerful. It is not a problem to threaten the mid-term of the real pill.
But his talismans and formations are currently in trouble.
As for the formations, he has been in the Jiang family for many years, and he has not obtained the materials for the fourth-order formations. Fortunately, at his current level, he can only make the third-order formations in the inheritance of the Devil’s Cult formations, and the third-order formations of the Devil’s Cult The strength of the method is far beyond the general third level, and it is enough for now.
Just pay attention to finding the fourth-order materials.
But the talisman…
He is in urgent need of fourth-order talisman inheritance!
The talismans in his hand have only been passed down to the third level. The current level of runes at the third level is no longer a problem for him, and he can hit the fourth level.
“Fourth-order talisman inheritance, do you have any inside the Devil’s Cult?”
He couldn’t help asking Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
“Do you think our Demon Cult collects junk? We have everything?”
Shangguan Xiaoxiao said disdainfully: “The talisman is too low-level, it’s just an introductory method of the way of the celestial master… In the past, I taught and destroyed several inheritances of the way of the celestial master, but I was too busy at that time to learn it.”
Ang Lee: “…”
“The alchemy, weapon refining, medical skills… all kinds of careers of cultivating immortals, what else have you learned?”
He decided to empty out Shangguan Xiaoxiao all at once!
“Only the formation method, the formation method was used for reference in order to play chess with my master back then… Cultivation of immortals is all cumbersome. If you can practice the immortal demon skill to the extreme, any formation method and talisman can be broken with one punch.” Of.”
When it comes to the Immortal Demon Art, she is very domineering, and at the same time, she is more and more helpless towards Li An.
The extremely domineering Indestructible Heavenly Demon Kung Fu will fall on a Li Gou!
Lost magic.
It’s too weak!
“Well… I also learned some alchemy, and some basic methods, I can send you.”
Shangguan Xiaoxiao thought for a while, then waved her hand, and a message rushed into Li An’s mind.
Li An hurriedly checked.
“Alchemy, up to the fourth level!”
He was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Just this fourth-order alchemy technique is invaluable.
Moreover, he is indeed planning to learn about alchemy in the near future.
The biggest reason why Li An didn’t get involved in this technique before was that his aptitude was too poor and his spiritual roots were not good enough.
After all, alchemy and weapon refining are the most popular among all kinds of immortal cultivation, but the threshold is also the highest. You must have enough spiritual sensitivity.
In fact, formations also have high requirements for comprehension and spiritual roots. High-level formations are often ever-changing, mysterious and unpredictable, and must be achieved by geniuses.
But the low-level basic formations and talismans have something in common, and there are patterns to find, so at the current stage, he has not encountered the dilemma of formations.
Now, after 300 years of life-seeding cultivation, Li An’s spiritual root has reached the low-grade Xuan rank!
Generally speaking, a low-grade spiritual root of the mysterious rank can easily build a foundation, and the probability of forming an alchemy is relatively high, so it can be regarded as a genius.
Alchemy can naturally also be involved.
This is the heaven-defying part of the formula of nourishing life and casting immortals. As long as you keep on living, after years of changes, you will eventually gain something!
He determined his next goal.
First, learn alchemy.
Second, look for the fourth-order talisman inheritance.
Third, collect fourth-order array materials, various high-order metal materials, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is to find opportunities to go to Lingsha Peak and other spiritual veins with more evil spirits to practice.
“Are you hungry?”
From the sleeve, Xiaoqing flew out, Li An fed the spiritual food, and let him stay in the cave by himself, then Li An got up, went to the other two peaks, and visited the neighbors.
He went to Lingyuan Peak first.
“You’re welcome, I’m busy!”
Jianxiu Xiang Yuntian didn’t even open the peak protection formation for him, standing on the mountainside, frowning, “I have something to say!”
This swordsman has a very temper… Li An said: “I just came to visit my neighbor…”
“let it go.”
Xiang Yuntian turned directly.
Li An was stunned.
This person is really… unreasonable.
“correct,”
However, Xiang Yuntian suddenly turned his head again, “What gift did you give me?”
Li An said: “Ah… this is a little thought.”
Then he offered a box, flew out of the formation to Yuntian, took the box with one hand, opened it face to face, took a look, and nodded: “Okay, it’s not a sting.”
“You are so generous, can I give you a gift too?”
He stared at Li An suddenly, “Remember, stay away from that woman in Lingdong Peak, otherwise… die!”
In his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of evil spirit. He took the box given by Li An and turned into the mountain, closing the formation.
Ang Lee: “…”
“Bad air attacking the heart, insanity?”
Li An narrowed his eyes.
This Xiang Yuntian obviously has some problems, and the evil spirit on his body is also very heavy.
Listening to Xiang Yuntian’s words, is there any adultery with Zhou Libai from Lingdong Peak?So Li An is not allowed to get involved?
Li An pondered for a while, turned around and flew towards Lingdong Peak without paying attention.
Compared to Xiang Yuntian’s coldness, Zhou Libai is very enthusiastic towards Li An. She seems to be dressed more revealingly on weekdays. The skirt she wears is like a light gauze, which is faintly visible. , The fragrant wind came in gusts.
“I heard from Sister She that Fellow Daoist Lin has a bird that the Mountain Lord likes very much. I wonder if you have brought your bird? Can you let me see it?”
Zhou Libai asked curiously.
Li Andao: “It’s just an ordinary bird. It has some spirituality. I keep it at home… If you want to see it, you are welcome to visit anytime.”
Zhou Libai laughed when she heard the words, “Okay, I also raised a butterfly, but I’m going to retreat with my Taoist partner. When I have a chance later, let my butterfly and your little bird get closer~~”
If it was an ordinary person, I’m afraid that my heart would be shaken, and there would be some turmoil in my heart. After all, Zhou Libai was really beautiful, and a decent young woman with such a hint of coquettishness made her very charming.
But Li An was very cautious, and gave a gift, saying: “Lin will not bother Fellow Daoist—”
leave.
Neither of these neighbors is easy to mess with.
Jianxiu is facing Yuntian, with evil energy entering his body. This kind of person is very dangerous, and he may go crazy at any time.
Zhou Libai is even more of a disaster, the Taoist couple is retreating, maybe they are hooking up with Xiang Yuntian…
It is best not to communicate as much as possible in the future.
……
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
“The Qi of Taiyin has finally condensed into a wisp!”
Li An was quite happy.
He has absorbed a lot of Taiyin Qi in the Jiang family for many years, and now he has been cultivating for another year, and finally condensed a formed ray of Taiyin Qi in his dantian.
Its aura is like moonlight, cold and deep, but it is the basis for condensing the Zifu.
If it weren’t for the help of magic skills, if you want to get such a ray of yin energy, you have to spend at least seven to eight thousand yuan of middle-grade spirit stones and buy three or five rare and high-priced elixir to obtain it.
Seventy-eight thousand yuan of middle-grade spirit stones is not a small sum for alchemy cultivators.
As a Jindan cultivator, Li An’s daily consumption of spiritual stones is far more than that of a true Dan cultivator, but if there is no additional expenditure and is dedicated to cultivation, only 500 yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones a month is enough.
He only has a total of more than 6 middle-grade spirit stones on him. If he spends money to buy elixir to absorb the yin energy, he will not be able to hold it for a few times.
Forming alchemy is already extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult for alchemy practitioners to attack Yuanying.
Even if the qualifications are sufficient, the cost required is unimaginably sky-high.
To cultivate the purple mansion and achieve the Nascent Soul, every step is the accumulation of resources.
It can be said that Li An saved a lot of spirit stones with the Immortal Demon Art, at least he didn’t need to spend money to buy elixir to absorb the energy of Taiyin.
It’s just that the absorption from the spiritual veins will be slower. Others may be able to absorb a ray of Taiyin Qi in a day with the use of elixir, but it will take Li An several years to obtain it from the spiritual veins.
According to the current progress, it will take at least 200 years to achieve the success of the Purple Mansion.
But, Li An is not in a hurry!
“The accumulation of magic energy is relatively slow…”
As soon as his heart moved, a black demonic energy was released from his lungs, mixed with a metallic luster, densely covering his whole body!
Immortal Demon Armor.
Li An is confident that the second-order magic weapon can’t break his defense at all.
It’s been a small success.
The accumulation of demonic energy is also very important. In addition to the Immortal Demon Art, if Li An wants to practice other magical powers and spells in the future, he will also need to accumulate demonic energy.
“First grade alchemy is completely mastered…”
He took out a bottle of the recently refined elixir – Qingsha elixir!
Qingsha Dan has a round luster, which can be called top grade.
He is very satisfied, with his current knowledge, cultivation base, and spiritual roots as the basis, his learning of alchemy is also advancing rapidly.
Becoming a first-grade alchemist within a year is considered to be progressing extremely fast.
And he mainly refines the Qingsha Pill, and he also has a plan.
In the Tiansha Mountains, the Qingsha Pill can almost be said to be hard currency!
Because most of the cultivators who practice here are practicing in Ding and other spiritual veins, they will be contaminated with evil spirits, and the evil spirit pill is the most useful thing for clearing away evil spirits.
After Li An can refine the Qingsha Pill, there are two advantages: First, it can be sold to increase income.Second, it can conceal his own magic skills.
After all, if Li An was practicing in Ding and other spiritual veins but never bought the Qingsha Pill, there must be something wrong.
In addition, Li An is now thoroughly familiar with the rules of the Tiansha Mountains: in addition to paying the spirit stones to the owner of the mountain, tenants must also maintain a certain “contribution”, otherwise the level of the spirit veins they live in will be downgraded, and there is no way to downgrade. will be expelled.
There are two ways to obtain contributions: 1. Undertake the tasks issued by the Mountain Master. 2. Hand in specific materials.
Among the supplies is the Qingsha Pill!
After all, if the Lord of the Mountain wanted to control the cultivators within his jurisdiction, he would definitely control the supplies they urgently needed. This is how Madam She was promoted to the third-class spiritual vein.
The first-grade Qingsha pill is not very useful, and it is completely useless to a true alchemist, but when he becomes a second-grade alchemist, he can exchange the Qingsha pill for contribution points.
……
Standing up and stretching, Xiaoqing stood on his shoulder like a stone sculpture.
The divine bird is almost symbiotic with him, in addition to spirit stones and spirit food, it has been practicing with the help of his life-seeding breath.
Shenniao’s cultivation is faster than Li An’s, and he is about to break through the middle stage of Jindan.
In fact, this is already the case of inexplicably slowing down after absorbing the breath of Li An’s life, otherwise it should be faster!
“Is Fellow Daoist Lin there?”
At this time, a voice came from outside.
Li An walked out and activated the second-order formation to protect the mountain, only to see a man and a woman walking up.
Zhou Libai, and her Taoist partner, Artifact Refiner Ba Jijian.
Zhou Libai was as glamorous as before, with a variety of styles and plumpness, but Ba Jijian was thin and thin, with sunken eye sockets, as if he was malnourished, and looked more depressed.
Li An was rather curious. He could tell that Zhou Libai hadn’t practiced Yin-Yang Demon Art, so how could he make a true alchemy practitioner so thin?
Could it be that there is really a field of immortality in this world, which can make it difficult for true alchemy practitioners?
“Two fellow daoists, please—”
“Friend Daoist Lin, we are here to ask you to go with us.”
Ba Ji gradually became silent, but it was Zhou Libai who said, “We are going to go to the Ghost Demon Valley to find some opportunities. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin can go with us?”
Guisha Valley, Li An also knows this place.
It is said that the reason why the Tiansha mountain range is extremely evil is because there was a bloody battle between the human race and the monster race, and too many Daxiu died.
Therefore, there are many opportunities buried in the Tiansha Mountains, including demon pills, demon flowers, magic weapons of the demon way, etc., if they can be obtained and given to the mountain owner, it is a contribution.
The contribution of Zhou Libai and his wife should be almost enough to change the spiritual pulse.
“Sorry, I’m preparing to practice in seclusion recently—”
Li An refused. In the first three years after entering the Tiansha Mountains, he didn’t have to hand in contributions, so he wasn’t in a hurry.
And he already has a way to change contribution points in the future.
He didn’t want to go to all kinds of dangerous places.
“Lin Daoyou, you only have two years, why don’t you think about it? If you don’t get enough contributions after two years, you may not even be able to live on this little spirit…”
Zhou Libai reminded with a smile, “It’s useless even if you have a bird, the rules are strict.”
“In addition… this trip to Guisha Valley was initiated by Fellow Daoist Baijiang, who sent invitations to us all, but you were in retreat and failed to receive them.”
She took out an invitation card and handed it to Li Ang, and it was indeed for him.
“Bai Jiang has a spirit beast with good talent. This time I went to Guisha Valley to find a chance for the spirit beast to become a demon. Once successful, Bai Jiang will be able to become the official subordinate of Lord Baishan along with the monster. When the time comes … Fellow Daoist Lin is not afraid of offending him?”
Ang Lee pondered.
He already knew that this Bai Jiang was actually Jiang Ri Bai!
Jiang Ribai came to visit Master Bai, and he was indeed almost killed, but he was also a wise man, he crippled his ability to control beasts, and healed a spirit beast that Lord Bai had favored.
Since then, I have been favored.
In the Tiansha Mountains, if one can support a spirit beast and help the spirit beast to become a demon, then the status of the supporter will also increase accordingly.
It is said that there is a chance to enter the Yaozu!
The Yaozu, as the oldest force, has an unfathomable background. It is definitely more comfortable to have the Yaozu as a backer than being a casual cultivator.
For example, Baijiang, if he really succeeds, he can obtain all the resources in the main area of Baishan.
Baishan is mainly the things of the Yaozu, and most of the resources used by human cultivators are not used by the Yaozu!
Moreover, its status will be very high.
Therefore, Bai Jiang’s invitation may or may not go, but if you don’t go, you have to consider whether it will offend him…
Li An pondered for a while, “Where is fellow Taoist Xiang Yuntian?”
“He’s just a stinking stone in a latrine, and he’s poor and stingy. He can’t even afford the Qingsha Pill. The evil spirit has already entered his body, and he’s almost dead. So he naturally doesn’t think about it.”
When Zhou Libai mentioned Xiang Yuntian, she was very disdainful.
Li An couldn’t help being stunned. Before that, Li An thought that Xiang Yuntian was having an affair with Zhou Libai…
However, Li An thought for a while, and said:
“Thank you fellow daoist for reminding me, but Lin An really doesn’t want to go yet.”
First, with so many true alchemy cultivators under Master Baishan, obviously not everyone gave Jiang Ribai face, and Li An was not alone.
Second, to some extent, Li An has something to do with Bai Shanzhu——Sakura.
“Well, since that’s the case, my husband and I won’t force it.”
Zhou Libai didn’t say anything, and the two left immediately.
After they left.
Li An got up, ready to go to Tiansha City.
Just after he left the Dongmai mountain area, he found a no-man’s land, changed his appearance, turned into an old man, and then went straight to Tiansha City.
Enter a stone temple.
Wait a long time.
The true alchemy practitioners who came to participate in the transaction arrived one after another, a total of four people, each exchanged their needs.
Li An sold some things, and then said, “I would like to buy a Tier [-] Suppressing Evil Talisman.”
Suppressing evil talismans are also in short supply in the Tiansha Mountains, and most cultivators will also buy some. It is normal to buy this.
“Is the third-level one okay?” A cultivator asked.
“No, the ruins that I want to explore next must be of the fourth order!”
Li An shook his head, seeing that there were no real alchemy cultivators, he gave the next best thing: “If you can provide information about the fourth-rank talisman master, you can-”
But in the end it was nothing.
Li An didn’t give up. For the next period of time, he came out from time to time. Finally, on this day, he got a message from a real alchemist:
“I do know one, a fourth-rank talisman master under the leadership of the Southern Meridian Jie Shanzhu, but I haven’t heard much about him in the past two years, maybe he is in retreat.”
“This talisman master is surnamed Cao, and lives in Yintai Valley in Ximai.”
Li An readily paid the reward.
“Fourth talisman master…”
Now that there is a direction, it is time to prepare slowly.
Back at the main site of Baishan, he took Xiaoqing to pay a visit to Miss Sakura, and gave him many precious spiritual food.
No matter where you are, relationship management is very important!
“Why don’t you go to Ghost Valley?”
While eating the spiritual food he gave, Xiaoying teased the little red bird and said, “That little lizard in Baijiang looks ugly, but the mountain master likes it very much…”
“It should be about to take form.”
“You have to work harder, let Xiaohong transform quickly, so that I can have someone of the same kind to play with me…”
Obviously, Sakura likes Little Red Bird because Xiaohong and her are of the same kind, they are both birds!
“Lin An must work hard!”
Li An smiled slightly, but his heart trembled.
It seems that Jiang Ribai… is really going to get out?
……
Ten days later, Zhou Libai and his wife returned.
They gained a lot!
“Friend Daoist Lin, if you are told to go, you will not go. If you go this time, you will have earned enough from living here for ten years!”
Zhou Libai was elated, but Li An found that her husband, Ba Jijian, had become thinner and more sluggish.
“Congratulations,”
Li An just smiled at this and continued to practice.
But in the second month after Zhou Libai and his wife came back, on this day, a voice came:
“Open the big formation—”
This voice made Li An familiar for a while. After the Lingyun Mountain Protector Formation was opened, an old man in a white robe came stepping out of the air, and said proudly: “Cultivators here, come out and see me!”
This person is…Jiang Ribai!
Li An couldn’t help frowning, what is he doing here?
