Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Fulfill a promise?

At the brink of death, Master Mo's eyes dimmed rapidly. He couldn't recall any specific promise, as he had made countless empty promises throughout his life.

After quickly collecting the spoils of war and incinerating the body with a fire spell, Li Ji'an dove into the Qiankun space within Gugu's mouth and instantly fled.

Now that Gugu had advanced to a Rank 2 spirit beast, the Qiankun space within its mouth had expanded again, becoming larger than a large courtyard house and five zhang tall. The only drawback was that living beings couldn't stay inside for long.

Otherwise, he would have liked to decorate it nicely.

"As expected of a Rank 2 Superior-grade Pill Furnace!" Li Ji'an first scanned all the spoils of war with his divine sense to ensure there were no other marks before picking up the superior-grade pill furnace.

After a brief test with his Dan fire, it exceeded Li Ji'an's previous expectations, with effects several times better than the one Yan Qingwan had given him.

With his pill refinement skills, capable of producing top-grade, late-stage pills with a Rank 1 middle-grade pill furnace, he estimated that the quality rate of Rank 2 pills would be very high with this furnace.

It wasn't until he returned to the Immortal City that he reluctantly put down the pill furnace and began to count the other spoils.

After counting, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The Zheng family is going to suffer a great loss this time!"

In addition to the pill furnace, the storage bags of the other three people contained finished, late-stage pills worth nearly three thousand spirit stones, as well as various medicinal materials worth more than two thousand spirit stones.

There were also more than one thousand spirit stones and three middle-grade magical artifacts left.

The Zheng family had directly taken nearly ten thousand spirit stones to the Immortal City for procurement.

Unfortunately, they had not traded for Rank 2 strategic materials that would have been beneficial to the battle.

In addition, the five people who had previously robbed Master Mo and his group provided nearly eight hundred spirit stones and several middle-grade magical artifacts in their storage bags.

This haul was equivalent to Li Ji'an's earnings from three years of painstaking pill refinement.

He naturally understood the principle of 'killing and arson brings a golden belt,' but he also understood that it was not a long-term solution and was not suitable for his philosophy.

This search for Master Mo was only to put an end to the relationship between the two of them from his previous life.

"These pills are of poor quality and can only be sold on the black market, as well as these magical artifacts." He placed a pile of goods that could not be sold openly in one place and sorted all the spirit stones.

The number of spirit stones on his body reached more than eight thousand again.

"There are enough materials for Foundation Establishment Pills!"

In the following period, in addition to refining pills daily and adapting to the Rank 2 superior-grade pill furnace, he often searched within the Immortal City.

He also purchased some auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He clearly felt that the resources in the shops in the Immortal City had improved qualitatively compared to when the Bi Yun Sect was in charge.

In addition, the rules of the Immortal City were also changing subtly.

Now, those who are not residents of the Immortal City need to pay an entrance fee of one spirit stone to enter the city gate.

Moreover, a stall area has been specially opened to allow private individuals to set up stalls after paying a stall fee.

Many of the regulations that were unfavorable to commerce during the Bi Yun Sect's rule in order to maintain control are disappearing little by little. As Li Ji'an expected, the economic atmosphere of the entire Immortal City is getting better and better.

The number of monks entering the city every day is constantly increasing, and the number of monks settling in the Immortal City is also increasing, leading to a surge in housing rents in the Immortal City.

At the same time, the number of vicious interception incidents near the Immortal City is also increasing day by day.

Two months later, Li Ji'an received a message from Yan Qingwan, a good news.

The Zheng family's reinforcements had somehow had internal strife in a short period of time, and the gang of bandits took the opportunity to attack. As a result, the Zheng family didn't know when they had hidden a Rank 2 Illusion Formation. A Foundation Establishment leader of the bandits was trapped, and the Zheng family's first Foundation Establishment mid-stage ancestor was seriously injured to end the battle by killing a Foundation Establishment monk of the bandits.

Both sides suffered.

The five-family alliance represented by the Yan family became the biggest winner, not only regaining a superior-grade medicine field that had been occupied by the Zheng family before, but also regaining the joint market that had been occupied by the bandits.

Li Ji'an had expected this result when he counted the spoils of war from Master Mo and his group.

However, before he could be happy for long because of this news, a message talisman that had been silent for twelve years suddenly vibrated.

It was the one that Li Ji'an had left to Chen Qingling before going to Jin Huang Immortal City.

It was bad news, but also expected.

Chen Zhaohu, who could be regarded as the guide to this world, died of old age at the age of one hundred and eight.

When Li Ji'an left, he sensed the decline of his energy and blood and saw that he estimated that he would not live for more than ten years. He gave him a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills before leaving. Now it seems that it has been delayed for a few years.

After sending a message to express his condolences, he naturally asked about his master, the Red Stone Hermit.

He was told that he was as usual, going in and out of the deep mountains and forests, and there was nothing unexpected.

"His age should be close to two hundred years old. The theoretical lifespan of a Foundation Establishment monk is three hundred years, but in reality, very few can live to three hundred years. Ordinary Foundation Establishment monks are almost two hundred and fifty-six years old. If there are any injuries or other accidents... it seems that I have hope to wait in this life." After calculating his lifespan, Li Ji'an looked forward to it.

Afterwards, he sent the news of Chen Zhaohu's death to Dong Jiangling and Zhang Tiezhu.

Zhao Shuyao had gone away with Tong Yaoyao a few years ago, exceeding the communication distance of ordinary communication talismans, and still could not be contacted.

Chen Zhaohu can be regarded as the guide for the five of them who came to this world sixty-seven years ago, and also the first person to introduce them to this cultivation world.

Zhang Tiezhu immediately said that the situation in the wilderness was slightly stable now, and he wanted to represent the five of them to see him off.

At the same time, Zhang Tiezhu and Dong Jiangling were both touched. Chen Zhaohu had already left, and they were not far away.

The two also asked about Zhao Shuyao's situation, and Li Ji'an told the truth.

What I didn't expect was.

Only three days after this incident, Li Ji'an unexpectedly received a message from Zhao Shiyao.

"Xiao Fan, Aunt Yao will be back soon, you have hope for Foundation Establishment!"

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Li Ji'an was shocked when he got this news.

Zhao Shiyao had previously vaguely expressed her idea of ​​supporting him with all her strength.

However, given her identity, Li Ji'an did not expect too much. In fact, he was very satisfied to be able to introduce him to the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.

After that, Zhao Shiyao said that for Tong Yaoyao, the main material of the Foundation Establishment Pill was not a problem, which made him hopeful. He was waiting for Tong Yaoyao to come back, and wanted to find a way to buy the main material of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Nine-Star Tuckahoe, from her.

And this time, Zhao Shiyao's so straightforward and affirmative words surprised Li Ji'an a little.

A month later, Zhao Shiyao returned to the Immortal City and called Li Ji'an over as soon as possible.

"Aunt Yao." Seeing Zhao Shiyao again, her hair was almost all white, and her face was getting older. After all, she was already ninety-five years old, even if she had the cultivation of a first-level peak body cultivator, she only had a maximum of twenty years of life left.

"Well, not bad, vigorous energy and blood, pure mana, and you have reached the peak of Qi training, but you have not disappointed Aunt Yao." Zhao Shiyao looked at Li Ji'an kindly before he could speak. Tong Yaoyao came over with her hands behind her back and looked Li Ji'an up and down and praised him.

"Thank you, Aunt Yao." Li Ji'an looked at Tong Yaoyao again. After many years of absence, she was still young and beautiful, and her coercion was even stronger, obviously making another breakthrough.

"You kid, you look more pleasing than your father, how about it? Do you have a Taoist partner now?" Tong Yaoyao nodded and suddenly asked.

Li Ji'an shook his head: "Aunt Yao is joking, how can I be qualified to find a Taoist partner in my situation?"

"It's really not possible now, but it will be possible after Foundation Establishment."

Zhao Shiyao smiled and shook her head, interrupting Tong Yaoyao's nonsense: "Yaoyao, don't joke with Xiao Fan, give him the things quickly."

"Aunt Yao, I'm not joking. I'm a great power in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment now, a senior expert, isn't it right to worry about the lifelong affairs of the younger generation?" Tong Yaoyao retorted, but she intimately stepped forward and took Zhao Shiyao's arm, without the slightest majesty of a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

"You, haha." Zhao Shiyao also patted Tong Yaoyao's hand dotingly.

This scene is very warm, especially in such a cultivation world, it is even more rare.

Not to mention Tong Yaoyao's excellent spiritual root talent, her future achievements are limitless, even her current cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment is a leader in the entire Cangyun Prefecture.

Generally, in a Foundation Establishment family, or even a five-major family, as long as someone succeeds in Foundation Establishment, their attitude will change instantly, and it is really rare to see someone like Tong Yaoyao.

This has a lot to do with family background.

"Hey, remember, this is what your Aunt Yao gave up to advance to the second-level body cultivator, so you must remember this favor.

In addition, don't let my mother know, go to the second-level alchemist in the fairy city to refine it yourself." Tong Yaoyao threw a storage bag to Li Ji'an with her backhand.

"Huh?" Li Ji'an took the storage bag and stopped instantly.

Inside was a complete set of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was really a bit caught off guard.

In the cultivation world, in order to get the chance to build a foundation, brothers and sisters kill each other, masters and apprentices turn against each other, and even fathers and sons become enemies are not uncommon.

Although he knew Zhao Shiyao's affection, he never expected that she would have such a big gift.

He is not a person who likes to take advantage of others for nothing, and he has never thought of taking advantage of others, even on the way he just came, he brought enough spirit stones. As long as Tong Yaoyao can help him find a main medicine, he will not only remember this kindness, but also be willing to buy it at a high price.

But I definitely didn't want to take it for nothing.

However, at this moment, he looked at Zhao Shiyao's gaze, saw the satisfaction on her face, the hope in her eyes, and the gratified expression, the action of reaching out to take out the spirit stone was slightly stagnant...
