I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 268 Enemy Attack
When Li Jizhou came to the lobby, he saw that the lobby was already full of people.

At a quick glance, there were three people in the late stage of pill formation, 12 in the middle stage, and more than 30 people in the early stage of pill formation, including Liu Hongling, a third-level earth spiritual master, and the pill collector who always had a puppet standing beside him. Later monk.

"Everyone, this is Zhenren Li, my great benefactor, An Liuli. If a chaos breaks out, if you have the spare capacity, please take care of it." When An Liuli saw Li Jizhou coming in, he immediately said to everyone in a gentle manner.

Everyone looked at Li Jizhou. The three late-stage pill-forming people and Liu Hongling just nodded slightly, while the rest of the people stood up one after another and clasped their fists at Li Jizhou: "Fellow Daoist Li, I'm glad to meet you."

"Please rest assured, Lord, we will do our best!"

An Liuli smiled with satisfaction.

"Ji Zhou, come, sit next to me!" An Liuli then invited Li Jizhou to sit next to him with a smile on his face.

This made the puppet master sitting on the other side of An Liuli frown slightly.

As a female cultivator resident in Lone Bamboo City, An Liuli is naturally beautiful and has a gentle personality. Especially because she is a descendant of the Moon Worshiping Immortal Lord and blessed with royal status, countless male cultivators flock to her.

Since he came to Lone Bamboo City, he had kept himself clean and there had never been any rumors of impurity until Yu Ziyu brought Zhou Cang and Li Jizhou to stay in this hospital a few years ago.

After Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang left, Li Jizhou lived here as a single man, which made many monks who hoped to become Taoist companions with An Liuli unhappy.

This puppet master is one of the best among the many monks who have thoughts about An Liuli.

"Xianzi An, we are facing a formidable enemy. Yan recommends that we should not keep irrelevant personnel in this hospital, especially those with insufficient strength. Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether their lives will be accidentally injured during a life-and-death fight, let alone the distraction of rescue operations. !" The puppet master's surname is Yan, and just like his surname, he is quite good-looking. He is dressed like a young boy, and even the puppet beside him has a more elegant and elegant appearance.

As soon as he spoke, the other two late-stage alchemy monks beside him also nodded: "Zhenren An, what Master Yan Yan said makes sense."

Even Liu Hongling subconsciously glanced at Li Jizhou and hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

"An already knows what you mean. However, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. Everyone can just perform their duties." An Liuli's face remained as usual, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Master Yan Yan glanced sideways at Li Jizhou, who was sitting silently and calmly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Li Jizhou always looked calm and didn't look sideways.

When An Liuli convened a meeting this time, he had already learned through people from the Cangming Dynasty that people from the hostile faction had arrived in Lone Bamboo City.

And as expected, the other party has reached some kind of agreement with Zhenjun Guzhu.

Li Jizhou guessed that there was a high probability that the two would not help each other and stayed out of the matter, but it was likely that the number of people who could enter would be limited.

So from today on, this place will enter a real state of crisis preparedness!
The three major alchemy masters in the late stage and the earth spirit master Liu Hongling will be stationed in this courtyard, while the others will patrol the perimeter at twelve o'clock.

The entire thirty miles surrounding this house are included in the core area.

After An Liuli made arrangements, everyone clearly knew their responsibilities and areas of responsibility.

Everything was done step by step and in an orderly manner, demonstrating An Liuli's outstanding leadership skills.

Everyone present was given responsibilities, even the four maids, but Li Jizhou had no sense of participation from beginning to end.

Li Jizhou was also happy.

In the end, Earth Spirit Master Liu Hongling was placed in the center of the house, mainly protecting the magic circle.

Yan Yanshi was assigned to protect Liu Hongling.

There is a quasi-fourth-level protective magic circle, and the opponent does not have the combat power of Nascent Soul True Lord, so it is difficult to destroy the magic circle instantly.

As long as the magic circle is there, the house will basically be safe.

However, since the opponent came from the Cangming Dynasty, he must have a forbidden talisman, a high-level spiritual weapon or even a spiritual treasure.

Based on the effectiveness that the pills can exert in the later stage, even if you hold these, you cannot break the formation instantly, at least it will take a while.

And during this period, if Liu Hongling continues to connect with the general trend of heaven and earth to repair the magic circle, he will almost be worry-free!
Therefore, Liu Hongling's responsibilities are crucial.

"Master Yan Yan, thank you!" Liu Hongling nodded slightly to Master Yan Yan. Although he was also a little cold and distant, he was obviously more polite than others.

People who have suffered from the weak have a stronger mentality of admiring the strong.

Master Yan Yan has achieved advanced levels of pill formation and is protected by powerful puppets. His strength is among the best and he is even regarded as the leader.

And the real Huangshi person in Liu Hongling's heart also has a puppet.

These two points made Liu Hongling more fond of Yan Yanshi.

When Master Yan Yan faced Liu Hongling, a gentle and elegant temperament appeared on his face, and he handed over his hands very politely: "Don't worry, Master Liu, unless I step over Yan's body, I won't even think of hurting you at all!"

Then he said to An Liuli: "Don't worry, Fairy An, Yan will not let you down!"

An Liuli smiled gently and said thank you.

The other two late-stage alchemy monks were placed in the backyard and front yard respectively.

One person is facing the side room where Li Jizhou lives.

On that day, the entire house became tense. Everyone kept their consciousness fully open at all times, and immediately felt a sense of oppression that the storm was coming and the building was full of wind.

Moreover, all the aura of the entire house was extracted into the guard formation, which affected Li Jizhou's practice. He simply walked out of the wing and walked around the house to predict possible weaknesses in advance.

"The hub of the formation, idlers stop!" Li Jizhou had just walked from the backyard to the middle courtyard. Before he put down his raised feet, a sharp voice came out.

Looking up, Master Yan Yan stood with his arms folded on his chest and his eyes closed in front of the hub of the nursing array. Behind him, Liu Hongling sat cross-legged.

Li Jizhou couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was just passing through this place and had not entered the hub of the protective formation.

This shows Yan Yanshi's prejudice against him.

"I'm going to the front yard!" He said lightly, ignoring Yan Yanshi.

"Yan said, idlers stop!" Unexpectedly, Master Yan Yan's voice turned cold, and at the same time, the puppet behind him instantly came to Li Jizhou to block the way.

Li Jizhou raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Master Yan Yan, who was still crossing his arms and squinting his eyes.

"Master Yan Yan!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder, Liu Hongling from behind frowned and shouted.

When Master Yan Yan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to look at Liu Hongling: "Master Liu, Yan said that he will keep you safe. So he will show no mercy to anyone who is suspicious."

"Master Yan Yan has done his duty well. The little girl admires her and feels at ease. However, Mr. Li is Sister An's benefactor, so it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Hongling came to the rescue.

Hearing this, Yan Yanshi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Jizhou with an even colder look.

"Hmph!" He finally snorted and turned around, and his puppet returned instantly.

"Master Li, if nothing happens, you should move as little as possible. There may be an enemy attack at any time. Then, I'm afraid no one can protect you!" Liu Hongling looked at Li Jizhou and said calmly.

"Thank you, Master Liu Tian." Li Jizhou nodded, ignored them, and continued to move forward.

Until I came to the front yard, I happened to see An Liuli watering the flowers as if nothing had happened.

"Ji Zhou, I'm sorry. You need to gather spiritual energy in large formations in the past two days. Has it affected your practice?" An Liuli saw Li Jizhou from a distance and smiled gently.

"Fairy Liuli said something serious. It's time to relax your mind and body and comprehend the world." Seeing An Liuli's behavior at this moment, Li Jizhou couldn't help but admired again. Compared to An Ruoxi, An Liuli, as a sister, can indeed achieve great things.

"That's good. This matter won't drag on for too long. It should be over soon!" An Liuli smiled slightly, showing great confidence.

This made Li Jizhou feel more reassured.

After chatting for a while, An Liuli remained calm and didn't show any signs of nervousness before the battle.

That kind of calmness and confidence that comes from the heart cannot be faked.This made Li Jizhou suspect that An Liuli had a very high degree of control over this matter through his internal connections with the Cangming Dynasty and his connections with Lone Bamboo City.

After bidding farewell to An Liuli, Li Jizhou felt at ease and returned to the wing again.

Activating the third-level advanced shielding array, Li Jizhou finally released Guagua.

With his colorful skin and five-color pupils coated with a layer of gold powder, Guagua looked very unseemly at this moment.

When he ambushed Lord Kudie in the wilderness earlier today, Li Jizhou had no time to communicate with Guagua in detail.

Now I finally have some free time.

Before Li Jizhou and Guagua could say anything, Bai Yi couldn't help but fly out.

As soon as Bai Yi came out, he immediately ran to Gua Gua's side, swaying his spiritual fire and looking very excited.

Guagua was quite mature. He stretched out a paw and gently stroked Bai Yi's head.

Seeing this, Li Jizhou was not in a hurry and gave them time to communicate first.

After a while, Bai Yi was finally satisfied and jumped on Gua Gua's head and stopped moving.

It was Li Jizhou's turn to ask questions.

The general situation has been understood through spiritual communication before. This time Li Jizhou mainly asked about the situation around the Wandu Sect in the northwest.

Guagua suddenly became angry and said that he had been attacked, killed and arrested by many monks there over the years.

They all regard it as a poisonous beast.

And for a period of time, it was running for its life almost all the time in order to avoid those poisonous cultivators who played with poison.

Many dangers arose.

At first, he was poisoned once and almost died from explosion.

It wasn't until they fled to the edge that they finally stopped.

However, it also said that he met a similar frog demon who could transform into a human form in that edge area.

It can feel the aura and blood of its frog demon, and it is still female, but the other party dislikes it very much.

He scolded it as just a low-level monster, just a beast, not the same kind as their monster clan.

Guagua was very angry, but it couldn't beat her, and finally left sadly.

"Monster clan!" Li Jizhou looked to the west with some longing in his heart.

In the two lifetimes since I came to this Xuantian Continent, so far I have only read about the Monster Clan in ancient books, but have never actually seen the Monster Clan!

Guagua also said that in addition to the first female frog demon he met, he also met another demon clan who had demonic aura but didn't know what his true form was. He was always in human form.

The demon clan also fed it and taught it a method of cultivation, saying that it could transform into a human form after practicing to a certain extent.

Li Jizhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
According to the ancient books he read, the monsters in this world are all ancient wild beasts that have degraded their intelligence, have only simple wisdom, and only retain a very weak bloodline. Compared with ordinary beasts, they have more bloodline and innate magical powers.

The demon clan is an ancient alien beast that has preserved the transformation of its spiritual intelligence, and even has a purer bloodline. Its spiritual intelligence is the same as that of the human race, and it is a humanoid existence that is born to be the leader of all things.

Monsters are born to exist in human form, but monsters can never transform into humans.

Moreover, monsters can only evolve through blood, and I have never heard of any methods that can be practiced.

Out of curiosity, Li Jizhou asked Guagua to recite the cultivation techniques passed down to him by the demon clan.

After a while, Li Jizhou repeatedly chewed the skills taught by the demon clan, and his face felt strange.

This technique is actually similar to the body-refining technique of the Central Domain Body-Refining Holy Land that he obtained in his previous life.

"Could it be that the human race's body training method is based on the demon race's training method?" Li Jizhou suppressed this speculation for the time being, and encouraged Guagua to practice hard.

Afterwards, Guagua vomited out the treasure bag in his belly after answering the questions asked by Li Jizhou.

As soon as the treasure bag was opened, Li Jizhou was overjoyed.

The eyes that looked at Guagua became a hundred times more kind.

There are a hundred pieces of various treasures.

Spiritual medicine, sacred wood, red gold, purple star copper...

Basically, Li Jizhou has taught it everything.

However, the grades are not very satisfactory. There are mostly second-order ones, less third-order ones, and almost no fourth-order ones.

There is only that half of the arbor tree, but unfortunately, the fourth-level arbor tree has been soaked in the black water of the swamp for too long, and its divinity has deteriorated, making it difficult to use it as a fourth-level material.

Overall, Guagua is very satisfied that she can think of bringing something back for herself.

Li Jizhou was confident that after teaching it more about some high-level treasures and elixirs, it would be able to achieve greater gains.

As a reward, Li Jizhou gave it the broken first-grade spiritual treasure in Zhenjun Kudie's storage bag.

That spiritual treasure should have been the personal robe of Lord Kudie. It was just a bellyband, but the damage was so severe that it exceeded the repair value. After a few uses at most, the spiritual treasure would be completely wiped out.

Li Jizhou didn't expect it to protect Guagua, but just borrowed its magical effect of concealing his aura.

It will be of great use to Guagua who will often go out to the wilderness to hunt for treasures in the future.

"Boom~"

Just as Li Jizhou was sorting and sorting the treasures Guagua had brought back, there was a loud noise outside.

"Enemy attack! Everyone on alert!" Immediately, a majestic voice filled with magical power rang out.

Li Jizhou's consciousness instantly rushed out of the shielding formation in his wing, and he saw a fight outside the house.

Ten people advanced towards the house from due east, ten people advanced from due south, ten people advanced from the west, and ten people advanced from due north.

The leaders of the four teams are all in the late stage of forming pills, and their magic power is even at its peak.

The rest are all in the middle stage of elixir formation or above.

In addition, there is another person at the top who is watching the battle from a distance. He should be the commander-in-chief of this operation. His magic power has stabilized the peak of the golden elixir!
This made Li Jizhou raise his eyebrows slightly. The opponent's number and cultivation level were obviously higher than An Liuli's arrangement.

Then why is she always so confident?
Is the information wrong, or does she have a winning trump card?

Li Jizhou prefers the latter.

Thinking about this, Li Jizhou settled in the side room, paying attention only with his spiritual consciousness and observing from the wall!

Just as previously speculated, such momentum did not attract any monks from the City Lord's Mansion.

Even in this area, a large formation slowly rose up, just covering the room and blocking outside visits.

Lone Bamboo City really wants to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye.
