Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Having just entered the world of cultivation and spent five years learning about it, Li Ji'an had a general understanding of this realm.

The so-called eight great families of the Fallen Dragon Ridge wilderness were only considered the bottom rung in the entire cultivation world, merely a very low starting point relative to his path of eternal life.

However, he also had a clear understanding of his own talent and status in this life.

Being able to enter such a family in this life was already the limit of what he could achieve.

If in the next life he could start at the age of eight and nurture his spiritual roots with the second-order spiritual veins here, perhaps he could grow to the optimal level of his own spiritual roots.

However, whether he could start the next life here was still unknown.

Even whether he could stay in the way he wanted was also unknown.

The Yan family's eldest daughter in front of him was the key to whether his plan would succeed.

If Yan Qingwan were to die at this moment, his plan would likely fall through.

In addition, given the many favors Yan Qingwan had shown him over the past three years, he also had a good impression of her.

At this moment, both sides in the late stage of Qi training were unable to attend to other matters, and the opponent was only a wood-attribute cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training, so he didn't even need to reveal his true body refining cultivation.

"Whoosh!" Li Ji'an flashed past, taking Yan Qingwan away before the wooden thorns could hit her.

"Hmm?" The Wei family cultivator was stunned for a moment, looking at the fleeing Li Ji'an with surprise, forgetting to pursue for a moment.

He never expected that these small fry in the early stage of Qi training from the Yan family would dare to come and save someone!

Wasn't this like snatching food from a tiger's mouth?

"Old Li!" Yan Tong and his son were even more dumbfounded.

In that situation just now, they also wanted to save her, but they didn't dare!

Facing a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training in the early stage of Qi training, they had no power to resist.

"Courting death!" The Wei family cultivator came back to his senses and instantly chased after him with a cold face.

But how could he be faster than Li Ji'an?

Seeing Li Ji'an hug Yan Qingwan over the valley and run into a dense forest, the Wei family cultivator had no choice but to summon a staff and leap up.

The speed of a fifth-level Qi training cultivator controlling a magical artifact with their magic power was not slow, and without Li Ji'an unleashing the blood energy of a mid-stage body cultivator, he would soon catch up.

However, although a mid-stage Qi training cultivator could fly with a magical artifact, it consumed a lot of magic power, was difficult to sustain, and made it almost impossible to spare extra magic power to cast spells.

After chasing for a while, he finally cornered Li Ji'an in a mountain stream.

"Keep running?" The Wei family cultivator snorted coldly, preparing to put away his staff.

However, to his surprise, Li Ji'an, who he thought was about to be scared out of his wits, suddenly had a fluctuation of magic power, and then a fireball the size of a human head appeared in his palm.

"Hmph! You dare attack me with..." He sensed Li Ji'an's weak magic power fluctuation at the third level of Qi training very clearly and didn't care at all.

"Boom!" But before he could finish speaking, the fireball shot towards him at a speed beyond his comprehension.

The powerful impact, coupled with the instantaneous explosion of the fireball, shattered the magic power shield around him, leaving him no time to react.

"Swoosh!" Another fireball followed closely behind at the same speed.

Looking at the Wei family cultivator whose entire head had exploded, Li Ji'an frowned slightly.

At this moment of life and death crisis, why did the other party talk so much nonsense?

It seemed that these families had not engaged in fighting and duels for many years.

He quickly looted the corpse, picked up a storage bag, and turned to head towards the dense forest above the valley.

This place overlooked the valley below.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw the Wei family cultivators below quickly retreating.

Immediately afterward, two other figures charged over.

When the three late-stage Qi training cultivators of the Yan family returned, there was no suspense here, and Li Ji'an carried the barely breathing Yan Qingwan back to the valley.

"Girl!" The Third Elder saw her from afar, flashed over, and took Yan Qingwan to check her injuries.

"Wei Huairen! This old man will definitely tear you to pieces!" Yan Hongsheng also arrived immediately afterward, with a ferocious look on his face.

Li Ji'an put down Yan Qingwan and took the initiative to retreat to the side, waiting quietly.

It wasn't until the team set off again that he sat on the cart with Yan Tong and the others again.

"You're at the seventh level of Qi training, why didn't you take action? If you could have joined forces with Wan'丫头, how could Wei Huairen have succeeded? Even if you had only resisted for three more breaths, it would have been enough!" On the way, Yan Hongsheng couldn't help but burst out at the Mo Alchemist.

And this time, even the most稳重 Third Elder颜泰来 in the family did not stop 老七.

The Mo Alchemist remained silent from beginning to end.

"Old Li, you've made a great contribution this time!"

"Saving the eldest young lady, this credit is enough for you to stay in the family."

"Maybe you'll even be granted the Yan surname like us? You're going to be rich!"

Several people at the bottom of the family on the cart were envious of Li Ji'an.

"Oh dear, I was too far away at the time, otherwise I would definitely have saved her."

"I didn't have that fate, I was blocked by the cart, I didn't see it at all."

There were also people who were wise after the event.

However, more people were concerned about where the Wei family's mid-stage Qi training cultivator who chased Li Ji'an had gone.

"He should have received the order to retreat and escaped far away," Li Ji'an replied.

This instantly made several people beat their chests and stomp their feet, as if they had missed a great opportunity.

Less than an hour later, the team finally arrived at the Yan family's territory.

Looking at a not-so-large mountain range standing far away, its top coincided with the afterglow of the setting sun, at first glance it really looked like a golden jewel inlaid on the top of the mountain.

"Brother Li, this is our Spirit Pearl Mountain. The ancestral vein is at the foot of the mountain!" After witnessing Li Ji'an save Yan Qingwan with his own eyes, Yan Tong's attitude towards Li Ji'an was even better.

Even Yan Quan, who had always looked down on Li Ji'an before, began to compliment him, guessing that he was really going to have good luck this time.

However, Li Ji'an didn't think so.

After all, his main identity was the Mo Alchemist's handyman, and he was originally the middleman to reconcile the contradictions between the Yan family and the Mo Alchemist.

If he was now openly accepted by the Yan family, how dare the Mo Alchemist use him so confidently?

Sure enough, that night Li Ji'an was arranged to live next to the Mo Alchemist's small courtyard.

Moreover, for the next three months, no one from the Yan family looked for Li Ji'an, and there was not even any such after-dinner talk in the family, as if he had not saved the Yan family's eldest daughter.

On the contrary, the Mo Alchemist, whether it was because he had received a task from the patriarch or because he took advantage of Yan Qingwan's serious injury, had been opening the furnace to refine pills almost every five days for three consecutive months.

Because of this, the Mo Alchemist was sometimes a little lacking in energy. In addition to letting Li Ji'an participate in the whole process, he would occasionally teach him some key methods and let him temporarily replace him.

It wasn't until three months later, when Yan Qingwan's injuries improved, that the Mo Alchemist's pill refining frequency decreased again.

With Li Ji'an's full participation in these three months, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Mo Alchemist's alchemy inheritance, and he had also naturally memorized the pill formulas for three kinds of mid-stage Qi training pills.

Moreover, as a Yan family offering, the Mo Alchemist lived on the outer side of the core spiritual vein, which had the degree of a first-order high-grade, and even the spiritual energy abundance of Yan Qingwan's pill room in the joint workshop could not compare with this at all.

This made Li Ji'an very satisfied.

This day, Li Ji'an had just finished his daily practice when Yan Qingwan's message arrived.

When he saw Yan Qingwan again, she was much thinner, but looking at her complexion, she had recovered well.

"Li Changan, I owe you a favor. What do you want? You can tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy you." Yan Qingwan's courtyard was in the core area of the Yan family's ancestral vein. Inside, there were pavilions, terraces, and open halls, rockeries and flowing water, clean and elegant, and the spiritual energy was the most Li Ji'an had sensed since coming to this world.
