Chapter 703 - 329: Summoning Demons_2
"Once I refine this root into my Primordial Spirit, I might be able to approach that bronze giant lamp..."This was his purpose all along.
The immortal dao fruit burning inside that bronze giant lamp was too important for him.
If he could get close, a day’s cultivation might equal decades!
...
After finishing cultivation, Li An stepped out from the array position.
In the second layer, similarly, a light descended to assess his cultivation level.
"Four Symbols Profound Immortal."
The voice echoed.
The immortal cultivation that Li An displayed wasn’t strong; after all, his cultivation speed was too fast, anxious for results. If he showed too powerful a Profound Immortal level, it would easily attract attention.
Four Symbols Profound Immortal sounded rather ordinary, causing no waves, and Li An left directly.
Returning to Purple Spirit Peak, he first went to pay respects to his master, Leng Rufeng.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. Disciple has proven to be a Four Symbols Profound Immortal—"
Inside the main hall, Li An saluted Leng Rufeng.
Leng Rufeng nodded, saying, "Four Symbols Profound Immortal... not too slow. Go now, cultivate well the techniques Yuan Province gave you."
Li An then departed.
"Master, with Profound Immortal cultivation, coupled with Third Junior Sister’s array power, as long as the information from Senior Brother Shen is accurate, it should be enough."
Yuan Province spoke.
Leng Rufeng said, "The opposing side acts cautiously and often sets up false fronts; they’re hard to investigate. But Lanyi said that recently that witch’s trail has been seen near the Gong Clan... let’s wait some more."
"After all, if one strike fails, and the opponent escapes with the magic pot lid, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would find it incredibly difficult to capture them—"
Yuan Province nodded.
...
After becoming a Profound Immortal, Li An originally thought the opposing side would act immediately, searching for the magic pot lid, etc., but they didn’t. Instead, he was quite leisurely on Purple Spirit Peak.
It was only the shortage of Anomaly Crystals that troubled him.
Upon ascending to Profound Immortal, ordinary Profound Immortals usually needed no more than thirty pieces of middle-grade Anomaly Crystals per month, but Li An required about fifty.
The monthly allowance wasn’t enough, and the missing part he had to find ways to cover.
Having no choice, he had to sell some Immortal Talismans to supplement.
"Do I fall into the inexpressible now or wait a bit longer before saying..."
While cultivating, Li An hesitated.
After ascending to Profound Immortal, grey scales like a scaly armor covered his chest and back; he could completely let things go, or even accelerate the inexpressible occurrence.
Then, through refining that root in his Primordial Spirit, he could mix into the Land of Divine Descent to guard the bronze ancient lamp.
In this way, he could escape from Purple Spirit Peak and find the most suitable place for orthodox immortal dao cultivation!
"Forget it."
Eventually, he planned to take things slowly.
Firstly, falling too quickly into the inexpressible would obstruct Leng Rufeng’s plan. If the opposing side got furious and attacked him mercilessly, he would be in trouble.
Secondly, Leng Rufeng now wanted to get the magic pot lid; if Yi Lingwei got caught, everything Li An did in the Yi Clan might be revealed, and who could say whether Leng Rufeng would connect it to the current "Gu Fan."
After all, both were from the Spirit Realm, both mastered the Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Skill, and both excelled at nurturing Blood Medicine...
Li An certainly didn’t want to be exposed!
So, if Leng Rufeng truly wanted to scheme against Yi Lingwei, it was best for him to be involved, just to be prepared!
...
In a blink of an eye, another four and a half years passed.
During this period, Li An refined several more anomalous demon sources.
On this day, Yuan Province finally conveyed orders, and Leng Rufeng summoned him.
Li An went to the grand hall, where only Li An, Yuan Province, Su Yebai, and Leng Rufeng’s third disciple Zhao Qingtong were present.
Zhao Qingtong was an Immortal Array Master, and the Profound Immortal Array given to Yi Linglin by Yuan Province was actually her handiwork.
"I have already investigated that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot’s lid is still in Purple Cloud Province, and the witch holding this item has been near the Gong Clan lately!"
Leng Rufeng spoke calmly, "Qingtong, Gu Fan, Yebai, the three of you swiftly head to the Gong Clan and set up the Demon Summoning Array, drawing out the magic pot lid."
As he spoke, a beam of light shot out from his sleeve towards Zhao Qingtong’s hands—it was a jade hairpin.
"This is an item belonging to that witch; it may be useful to you three."
He introduced, but Li An was momentarily stunned.
This hairpin...
Clearly belonged to Shangguan Shengxian!
Back when still on Nanfu Island in the Spirit Realm, Shangguan Xiaoxiao had once found Li An and given him this hairpin. Later, Li An placed it in Lady Yi’s tomb to frame Shangguan Shengxian.
Unexpectedly, this item fell into Leng Rufeng’s hands now.
Moreover, Leng Rufeng judged the magic pot lid to be in Shangguan Shengxian’s possession based on this?
Li An suddenly realized...
Leng Rufeng might have been...
Wrong all along.
Misguided from the start!
Perhaps he was scheming against Shangguan Shengxian, not Yi Lingwei?
Damn...
Li An felt an inexplicable urge to laugh!
Causality indeed turned out like this.
If Leng Rufeng destroyed Shangguan Shengxian, it would actually be a favorable outcome for him.
"Additionally, this task is perilous; here are some Golden Immortal-level immortal treasures, personally crafted by me, for each of you. In case of danger, they can be triggered to protect yourselves."
He casually bestowed each with an immortal treasure; Li An received a small silver knife.
A Golden Immortal-level immortal treasure, worth a fortune!
This Leng Rufeng is indeed generous...
"Qingtong, although you are a senior sister, when at the Gong Clan, for any issues that cannot be resolved, consult more with your junior brother Su."
Leng Rufeng added a word of caution.
Evidently, Su Yebai, though a newcomer, had fully demonstrated his abilities and gained Leng Rufeng’s trust!
