Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

A year-long seclusion every three years?

This information made Li Ji'an feel somewhat unusual.

However, Chen Qingling clearly didn't know the reason either.

Not delving further, Li Ji'an left a communication talisman, expressing his hope to maintain contact with his father's friend.

Before leaving, he left a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills, which he had refined for himself over the years to benefit body refinement. They were useless after reaching the first-order perfection, but could help Chen Zhaohu, whose Qi and blood were declining too quickly as a body cultivator.

Bidding farewell to the Chen Zhaohu brothers, Li Ji'an steered his flying sword back to the clan.

The reason he specifically established contact with the Red Stone Hermit and Chen Qingling this time was because he had already planned to leave the Yan family.

He had already survived his weakest period in this life. Continuing to stay in the Yan family would prevent him from further improving his alchemy and talisman skills.

Moreover, due to insufficient resources, it was also affecting his cultivation progress.

With his level of alchemy and talisman skills, he could establish himself in any market town in the world.

What's more, after crossing the hurdle of the late Qi training stage, he would have to start planning resources for Foundation Establishment, which the Wasteland did not provide.

"Hmm?" Not long after flying out of the gathering place, Li Ji'an's eyes suddenly narrowed.

His Foundation Establishment-stage divine sense detected that three people ahead were in a state of concealment and ambush, and had all used disguise techniques.

"A Qi training ninth layer with some declining mana, two Qi training fifth layers… Ambushing me?" Li Ji'an was a little surprised.

Even all of them together aren't enough for Guagua to swallow.

Guagua's combat power is not low after those years of wilderness training.

In addition, with its soul-shielding ability, mutated from devouring parasitic soul ants, it can truly kill people invisibly.

"Swish~" The next moment, Li Ji'an's divine sense sensed that the leftmost Qi training fifth-layer ambusher suddenly disappeared.

"Whoosh~" Immediately after, the Qi training fifth layer on the right also disappeared.

Just as Guagua was about to stick out its tongue at the Qi training ninth layer in the middle, Li Ji'an was slightly stunned. At this moment, within ten zhang, his divine sense directly detected the other party's disguise technique.

It was actually an acquaintance!

Temporarily stopping Guagua's movements, Li Ji'an flew straight into the ambush circle that originally consisted of three people, but now only one remained.

"Heh heh heh~" Sure enough, as soon as he entered the ambush circle, the acquaintance chuckled sinisterly and gradually revealed himself, as if he had him cornered.

"Boy, I heard you are very close to Fairy Yan? If you are killed, Fairy Yan will probably go crazy, right?"

Li Ji'an looked at his ridiculous performance and wanted to laugh: "Wei Huairen, you've been exposed!"

"Hmm?" Wei Huairen was obviously shocked.

He didn't expect the kid in front of him to directly call out his name.

He subconsciously looked back at his two subordinates, but where were they?

"You…" He was instantly even more terrified.

"Whoosh!" Li Ji'an stopped talking nonsense and slashed down with a Blazing Flame Slash.

Wei Huairen was experienced in combat and quickly calmed himself. The moment his protective magic shield was activated, a golden pointed cone shot towards Li Ji'an at the same time.

A talisman that Li Ji'an had prepared in advance flashed instantly, turning into a bronze heavy shield, blocking in front of him.

"Bang!" However, the moment the golden pointed cone hit the bronze heavy shield, the bronze heavy shield broke in response.

It continued to hit Li Ji'an's protective magic shield without stopping, before being stopped and gradually shattered into countless light spots that dissipated in the world.

"A mid-stage, mid-grade bronze shield talisman can probably only withstand the full blow of a Qi training middle stage cultivator. It can only weaken 30% of a late Qi training stage spell."

After experimenting, Li Ji'an had an accurate judgment of his talismans, and immediately stopped delaying and ordered Guagua to attack.

Wei Huairen easily resisted Li Ji'an's Blazing Flame Slash, and carefully sensed his surroundings again. There were indeed no other auras, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

The kid's attack just now was definitely only the power of the Qi training middle stage.

"Hmph, you thief, your death…"

"Whoosh!" Wei Huairen was halfway through his words when a fleshy phantom suddenly drilled out from the ground behind him and shot towards his heart.

The magic shield that had just resisted Li Ji'an's Blazing Flame Slash shattered without resistance, and the fleshy phantom pierced through his chest.

"… is here." Mixed with the gushing blood, Wei Huairen barely managed to finish a sentence.

He looked down and saw the fleshy tongue piercing through his chest.

Turning his head, he saw a cyan frog as big as a calf.

In an instant, the memory of the ambush on the medicine garden nearly fifty years ago flashed back. Wasn't this cyan frog the miscellaneous bloodline toad he had specially bought from the Beast Taming Liu family?

The figure of the kid in front of him gradually overlapped with the figure of the person who smashed the beast tamer with his last punch.

"Gua~" Guagua rolled its tongue and swallowed Wei Huairen.

Li Ji'an shook his head, crossed out a person on his little notebook, and steered his flying sword to set off again.

He informed the clan of the ambush on the way back, concealing the other party's identity and the result, only saying that he had escaped by chance.

But he emphasized the sentence that the other party said.

The other party's ambush and interception on the way, and the clear target, was enough to explain the problem.

Yan Zongsheng thoroughly investigated the spies in the clan that day.

In the evening, Yan Qingwan came in person to ask if Li Ji'an was injured and to comfort him.

And told him about the current situation in the Wasteland.

The Zheng family had four Foundation Establishment cultivators. The spiritual vein dojo in the clan was increasingly unable to meet the simultaneous cultivation needs of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators. There must be a new second-order spiritual vein dojo.

However, the spiritual vein lands in the Wasteland had already been occupied. Only the other seven Foundation Establishment families had second-order spiritual vein lands.

Their target could only be the other seven families.

Ten years ago, when Yan Qingwan sent Li Ji'an to the sect for trials, the Zheng family was already taking action. As Li Ji'an had expected, they initially wooed the Yan family, wanting to join forces to dominate the Wasteland, promising to divide the Wasteland equally.

Yan Zongsheng was clear-minded and did not seek skin with the tiger.

After that, the Zheng family used the same trick to win over other families, but they were all old foxes who understood the Zheng family's wolfish ambitions.

The latest and most complete novels are at 69shu.com!

Now the Zheng family is getting more and more anxious.

Li Ji'an immediately understood the purpose of Wei Huairen's interception today, to kill him and frame other families, most likely the Wei family, intending to provoke a fight between the Yan family and the Wei family again and muddy the waters.

He didn't expect that he had become the key figure for them to stimulate Yan Qingwan.

The chaos in the Wasteland was set, and he couldn't stay any longer.

This strengthened his determination to leave the Yan family.

In the next few months, he used the spirit stones he had saved over the years to buy ten mid-stage, high-grade talisman papers in the clan, and finally successfully drew six mid-stage, high-grade talismans, including one Cold Wind Talisman, one Small Teleportation Talisman, two Golden Armor Talismans, and two Golden Sword Talismans.

Adding to the previous Golden Sword Talisman, he had a total of seven mid-stage, high-grade talismans.

These were considered the most superficial trump cards, which could be used as the first round of methods in case of an emergency, and were effective against late Qi training stage cultivators.

Guagua was the mid-level trump card, attacking unexpectedly.

The most guaranteed trump card was still his first-order peak body refinement strength.

On this day, he sorted out the supplies in Guagua's mouth Qiankun and storage bags one by one.

In addition to the seven mid-stage, high-grade talisman trump cards placed close to his body,

less than five hundred spirit stones remained.

This included the surplus from Yan Zongsheng's gift in his previous life and the gifts from Zheng Tianxiang and Zhao Shuyao ten years ago, plus less than a hundred pieces seized from Wei Huairen and the two Qi training fifth-layer cultivators' storage bags.

There were also four magic tools. In addition to his own low-grade flying sword, there were Wei Huairen's three, one high-grade and two mid-grade.

In addition, there were more than a dozen early-stage talismans and a few bottles of ordinary pills drawn previously.

Of course, there was also the tool for making a living, a mid-grade pill furnace and the Great Elder's first-order mid-stage talisman brush.

In addition, there were two jade talismans that had been rubbed yellow. One was the "Li's Alchemy Biography" he compiled in his previous life, which had been supplemented over the past ten years, including some analyses of that second-order alchemy inheritance that Yan Qingwan had studied for several years without success.

The other was some insights and feelings about the talisman path that he had gained under Yan Kongyi's teaching these years.

After hiding the two jade talismans under the bed, Li Ji'an only went to see Zhang Tiezhu. Since Yan Qing began to cultivate, his pressure had been reduced. These years were considered a real retirement, but there was also a hint of twilight.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Li Ji'an also gave him a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills before leaving.

"Xiao Fan, are… are you leaving too?" This scene made Zhang Tiezhu suddenly feel something. It was the same when Brother Li left back then.

Li Ji'an smiled freely: "Take care!"

That night, taking advantage of the cover of night, Li Ji'an entered Guagua's mouth Qiankun, sneaked into the ground, and headed towards Golden Brilliance Immortal City.

In Cangyun Prefecture, in addition to the Wasteland, there was only one joint market. There were many other markets, but the largest and safest was Golden Brilliance Immortal City under the eyes of the Biyun Sect.

He had already learned a lot about it ten years ago, and with Zhao Shuyao and Tong Yaoyao there, he could have someone to take care of him.

Yan Qingwan received Li Ji'an's message three days later and was told the truth.

The reason why he didn't say goodbye to her that night was because he was afraid that she would worry and that she would try to keep him.

When Yan Qingwan found the two jade talismans under the bed according to Li Ji'an's instructions, she finally understood that Li Ji'an had deliberately hidden his skills these years.

"This kid is really like Brother Li!"

Yan Kongyi was only told the truth by Yan Qingwan three months later. After carefully studying the talisman path essence left by Li Ji'an, his old face turned red. After reacting, he wanted to chase Li Ji'an back, but was finally dissuaded by Yan Qingwan.

In fact, all these years, because of Li Ji'an's demonstrated alchemy and talisman skills, they basically didn't think that he would leave the clan. Even if he did, after experiencing the hardships of life outside, he would probably come back in disgrace.

But now, Yan Qingwan and Yan Kongyi knew that Li Ji'an would not come back.
