Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

The opening of the Yan Family's Pill Shop, especially the rise of the medicinal herb fields co-developed by the Yan and Wei families, was most upsetting to the Zheng family.

Relying on early acquisitions, the Zheng family not only had the largest spiritual vein dojo in their clan, but also occupied many medicinal herb fields. They not only almost monopolized the pill business within the market, but also almost monopolized the wild medicinal herb business, providing medicinal herbs for the other pill shops.

Therefore, in the past, even if the other families opened pill shops in the market, it would not affect their market income much.

But now that the Yan Family's Pill Shop has its own medicinal herb fields, they are a real competitor.

When the Yan Family's head left a year ago, he specifically warned Yan Qingwan to be wary of the other party's schemes and tricks, and to keep a low profile in the early stage and make a fortune silently.

During this year, Zheng Tianxiang often used the excuse of rekindling old friendships to look for Yan Qingwan at the pill shop, mostly to investigate Yan Qingwan's pill skills.

Before, seeing that Yan Qingwan's pills were not good, he didn't take any action. However, a month ago, Yan Qingwan refined that top-grade Qi Supplementing Pill, which prompted the Zheng family to take action.

Li Ji'an had never thought that the other party would find him, after all, apart from him and Yan Qingwan, at most a few limited high-level members of the clan knew about Yan Qingwan's pill skills. To the outside world, he was only a guest elder assisting Yan Qingwan in refining pills, similar to a pill boy.

Today, he was able to find him, and Li Ji'an's first reaction was that there was a mole in the pill shop.

"Young Master Zheng is so kind, I am terrified, I don't know..." Li Ji'an showed the demeanor that a low-level cultivator should have.

Zheng Tianxiang didn't buy his act, walked to his side, and patted him on the shoulder: "Hahaha, Guest Elder Li doesn't need to be so polite, come, come, pick a fairy you like first."

"I don't deserve such a reward, and I know my own worth. Young Master Zheng is so kind, I feel uneasy, please tell me what you want." Already seeing that he was not a brainless纨绔, Li Ji'an was not in the mood to play games with him.

"Hmm?" Zheng Tianxiang's face instantly darkened, and his eighth-level Qi Refining magic power surged.

"Swish!" He suddenly stretched out a hand, and surging magic power turned into an invisible big hand, passing right by Li Ji'an's ear.

"Ah!" The next moment, the young man who had just brought Li Ji'an here groaned, his feet leaving the ground, and he was grabbed next to Li Ji'an.

"Kneel down!" Zheng Tianxiang then suddenly burst out with magic power pressure, pressing him to the ground, causing blood to flow from his mouth and nose.

"This young master asked you to invite him respectfully, did you take advantage of my power again and ruin my reputation?"

The young man knelt on both knees, trying to explain miserably, but under Zheng Tianxiang's magic power pressure, he couldn't even open his mouth.

"Hmph, it must be you, who takes advantage of my power, who made my distinguished guest have opinions about me, what use are you? Get out!" Then Zheng Tianxiang waved his hand, and the whole person fell from the window on the third floor.

Li Ji'an sighed slightly, not only was he not brainless, but he also had considerable means. As expected of a successor cultivated by the family.

"Guest Elder Li, I made you laugh, it's all my fault for spoiling my subordinates too much on weekdays." Zheng Tianxiang apologized, then waved to the madam, signaling them to leave.

"Sit, sit, since Guest Elder Li still has concerns about me, I might as well not beat around the bush, I'll just say it straight."

After a pause, he randomly took out a jade bottle from the storage bag next to him: "Fellow Daoist Li, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on. You should know how the Yan family treats outsiders. As far as I know, you have been in the Yan family for eight years, but you don't even have the qualifications to queue up for the Breaking Realm Pill. And you have put in so much effort to refine pills for Yan Qingwan, I feel sorry for you. This is the Flying Cloud Pill, as long as you..."

"Hmm?" However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt the aura of mid-stage Qi Refining emanating from Li Ji'an in front of him.

Li Ji'an cupped his hands slightly: "Young Master Zheng, please forgive me. I just stabilized my realm today, and I'm still a bit rusty in controlling it. I didn't intentionally hide it."

"..." Zheng Tianxiang's well-prepared rhetoric was instantly cut off. Even though he believed that his scheming was no less than some old guys, he couldn't help but choke.

A surge of anger welled up in his heart.

He had clearly confirmed many times that Li Ji'an was stuck at the third level of Qi Refining for several years and could not advance, so he prepared this Flying Cloud Pill.

It was also this subconsciousness that made him not carefully investigate Li Ji'an's cultivation.

He never thought that this would make him look so bad.

However, he only lost his composure for a moment before quickly regaining his composure: "Haha, good, good, congratulations. Well, this makes me look like I'm being a 马后炮. How about this, you can mention any needs you have. As long as you are willing to come to our Zheng family, not to mention this kind of primary Breaking Realm Pill, even... more advanced pills, as long as you reach that step, this young master can also make the decision to give it to you."

"Foundation Establishment Pill is also possible?" Li Ji'an ridiculed in his heart, but did not say it out loud to make him suffer again.

He just saw that his spiritual root talent was poor, and he was old, so it was impossible to use the late-stage Qi Refining Breaking Realm Pill, so he was so generous.

Even more, he just didn't want Yan Qingwan to have himself by her side. It is estimated that he would take action as soon as he left the market.

"Young Master Zheng, please forgive me. I was originally a casual cultivator with no one to rely on. The head of the family gave me a dojo and bestowed me with the Breaking Realm Pill. How can I forget such kindness? Moreover, I only served the Pill Master Mo for a few years, and I am only proficient in preparing before opening the furnace and handling chores, but the eldest lady gave me an important task, and I already feel ashamed... Today's matter, I will definitely keep my mouth shut, and please Young Master Zheng just pretend that it never happened." Li Ji'an solemnly bowed. Facing this kind of intelligence and means online, and whose status is far higher than his, all schemes and means are useless. It is better to play the sincerity card.

It is not to hope to move him, but just to let him not have a legitimate reason in the market.

After all, the joint market town guards are rotated by the ancestors of the eight major families. In the market, he does not yet have the arrogant strength to not eat beef.

If it still doesn't work, he might as well run away temporarily and wait for the next life to find an opportunity to put an end to it.

Zheng Tianxiang probably didn't expect Li Ji'an to say such a thing. He was silent for a long time, just staring at him.

"Hehe~ What a loyal servant, it makes this young master look like a villain."

Li Ji'an stood up: "Young Master Zheng is serious, nothing happened today, I have not seen Young Master Zheng, goodbye."

Fortunately, Zheng Tianxiang did not do anything irrational, otherwise his late-stage Body Refinement strength would definitely kill him, then he would have to run away.

As soon as he returned to the pill shop from Tianxian Tower, Li Ji'an entered the pill room and told everything that had just happened.

"Brother Li, I thank you on behalf of the Yan family!" After listening to the story, Yan Qingwan's expression became stern. She understood how difficult Li Ji'an's decision was. How could an ordinary person withstand such threats and inducements?

Li Ji'an smiled freely: "After all, you promised to take care of me in my old age, you can't go back on your word."

"Pfft~ Brother Li, you're still joking at this time. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you can stay in the clan with peace of mind."

"And my descendants." Li Ji'an reminded again.

He came to the cultivation world for the first time in this life, and he has been here for thirteen years. He has a certain recognition of the Yan family after these years of acquaintance with the Yan family.

Especially for Yan Qingwan, she is kind-hearted, gentle in character, and has great potential. She also has a voice in the clan.

If there are no accidents, he has basically decided that his protector in the next life will be her.

"Brother Li, don't worry, Qingwan has already said that in Qingwan's heart, she has long regarded you as a relative brother. Your descendants are my nephews and nieces. As long as he is willing to call me aunt, I will protect him for a lifetime!"
