Longevity begins with Zongmen handyman

Chapter 29

Li An didn't wear the robe of Xuanyangzong's disciple today, but a light blue casual dress, which was very inconspicuous when walking on the street.

He wandered around the market twice, making sure that no one was following him, and quickly changed into a dusty clothes in a deserted alley, put on a bamboo hat, covered his face, raised the soles of his shoes, and padded his shoulders. Thick, just leave.

Even if he passed by an acquaintance like Tan Qingxue, if the other party did not observe carefully, it would be difficult to recognize him.

Then, he quickly left the main street of Fangshi and came to an area of ​​low houses in the north of Fangshi.

Compared to the bustle of the main street, this place is quite deserted, with less traffic.

Li An walked into a private house, and there were already four people sitting in it, three men and one woman, and Li An was the fifth.

The other four, like Li An, all wore bamboo hats or veils to hide their eyes and ears. Only the leading man, a big man, did not cover up, but Li An guessed that he should be wearing a human skin mask.

"It's all here."

The big man said, "According to the rules, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five of us will show the things we want to trade or buy one by one. After all the things are displayed, we will trade."

——This kind of transaction is usually only participated by cultivators who are unwilling to reveal their identities. Therefore, they are called according to the arrangement of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and Li An sits at the water level.

The person above the gold position is a rather old middle-aged cultivator with gray hair hanging around his ears, and said in a low voice:
"I sell three pieces of first-grade top-grade Meteorite, and three pieces of first-grade Restoration Pill. Meteorite needs a first-grade top-grade protective magic weapon in exchange, and spirit stones are also acceptable."

As he spoke, he laid out three pieces of black meteorite and a small jade bottle.

On the wooden seat was a thin young man with a hoarse voice:

"I have produced a set of first-grade high-grade magic weapon - thorn armor. This armor is extremely strong in defense. At the same time, when attacked, it can emit spiritual power of thorns to kill the enemy. It needs to be exchanged with forbidden materials."

With a flash of inspiration in his storage bag, a black metal soft armor appeared in his hand!

Li Andao: "I will give you four first-grade elixir, Fire Spirit Fruit."

With that said, he laid out the fire spirit fruit.

Immediately, everyone looked over in surprise.

On the fire seat beside him was a woman wearing a white veil, who said impatiently: "My fellow Taoist, do you still have a second-grade fire spirit fruit? If so, I can buy it at a high price!"

The fire spirit fruit is a second-grade spirit fruit, as we all know.

Moreover, this is one of the ingredients of Zhujidandan recipe!

Li An shook his head, "Sorry, that's all."

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Don't disturb, continue!"

And the big man with the human skin mask sat on the last seat and spoke in a deep voice.

The woman with a white veil in the fire position said: "I sell three Chongling Pills, which can be used for breakthroughs in the mid-stage of Qi training, and accept Lingshi."

In the end, the earthly man also said: "I'll bring out a first-rank high-grade sword, and the spirit stone will do it!"

Next, it is the communication and inquiry link.

"Friend Daoist, these fire spirit fruits of yours are of very high quality, almost approaching the second-grade spirit fruit. Do you really not have second-grade spirit fruits?"

The woman wearing a white gauze mask asked again.

Li An said: "Sorry, really not."

The woman sighed and said, "Okay, I don't know how you sell these fire spirit fruits? I want them all."

Li An said: "One price, two hundred spirit stones."

The woman said: "I only have one hundred spirit stones on me, so how about using one elixir for one hundred spirit stones?"

Li An readily agreed.

The exchange was successful.

Li An looked at the skinny young man above him again, and said, "This fellow Taoist, I don't know if you, armor of thorns, accept spirit stones?"

In terms of magic weapons, Li An still lacked, but the general magic weapons for body protection and defense were not very useful to him, and the effect was not as strong as his Iron Tree Jue.

It would be great if you can get a first-tier high-grade one.

So, he stared at the armor of thorns in the man's hand, looked and looked, quite moved.

The man shook his head, "I'm sorry, I only want to ban materials, there is no limit to the type."

Li An was helpless, the forbidden materials were special materials specially used to set up restrictions, formations, etc., unless they were formation masters or formation masters, most people rarely had them.

However, he vaguely sensed that this youth's aura is not strong, it seems that he is only in the mid-stage of refining Qi, and should not have touched formations and restrictions...

After all, the learning and production of formations and prohibitions requires a huge amount of mental energy, and practitioners in the early and middle stages of Qi refining can't hold it at all!

At least in the late stage of Qi refining, you can start learning.

Li An also dabbled in the formation method. In the last life, he was unable to practice alchemy and weaponry because of his aptitude, so he chose formation method and talisman. With the accumulation of resources, he was quite accomplished in both methods.

But he wasn't too surprised, the other party might have concealed his cultivation.

He glanced at the young man casually.

……

The exchange is complete.

Several people did not disperse immediately, but exchanged information.

"I have a top-secret message about cultivators. Three days ago, an extremely dangerous incident occurred in Liuyang Hefang City, which was aimed at the Xuanyang Sect..."

The old man on the gold seat said in a deep voice, "Five spirit stones."

News can also be sold for money!

As long as you want.

Everyone was very interested in this news. Immediately, two people directly gave the spirit stone to the old man, and got the secret note from the old man.

Li An remained calm and bought a copy - after all, in this world, news always comes first.

Other news was more trivial, and the party quickly dispersed.

……

Leaving the trading place, Li An found a place where no one was around, changed into his blue suit, and mixed into the crowd by catching traces.

At night, he returned to his residence and opened the secret note he bought from the old man.

The news written on it made Li An frowned!
——Three days ago, in Hefang City, Liuyang, there was a vicious incident in which Moxiu robbed and killed Xuanyang Zongdan Pharmacy!
According to the description, the demon cultivator mixed into the market without being noticed, and there was a conflict when buying the pill in the elixir shop opened by Xuanyang Zong Dantang. The demon cultivator killed people on the spot and took away a lot of elixir.

The point is, the demon cultivator retreated completely!

Li An thought, if this news is true, doesn't it mean that even the market is very dangerous?

The magic cultivator can be mixed into the market, which means that either the magic cultivator's cultivation base is ridiculously high, reaching the alchemy level, or the demon cultivator has practiced some kind of strange skills.

Ang Lee thinks it's the latter.

After all, if the alchemy-level magic cultivator is born, the entire city can be wiped out directly!

Moreover, what made him even more worried was that the other party actually robbed Xuanyangzong's elixir shop...

This is a bit outrageous, not even giving Xuanyangzong face?

He sensed a hint of danger.

Is this news true or false?Can't tell.

But more preparation is always necessary.

"There are still too few cards in my hand..."

Li An was a little anxious.

This kind of thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Living so comfortably in Fangshi, his tolerance for danger is extremely low.

And his strength is too low, Qi refining level [-], facing the magic cultivator who can rob the Liuyanghe pill pharmacy, even if he uses all means, it may be difficult to resist.

Although he got a Chongling Pill, it won't help him for the time being. The Chongling Pill needs to be used after the fourth level of Qi Refining is completed, so as to increase the chance of breaking through.

"We have to prepare some ultimate moves, at least in the late stage of Qi refining, we can have the capital to survive."

"Currently the most suitable... array!"

he thought.

Formation is a big killer for low-level cultivators!
But the shortcomings are also very prominent. First, it is very expensive. Second, once it is deployed, it can only work in a fixed place, and it takes a lot of spirit stones to maintain it.

Generally, only the Xiuxian family, or powerful casual cultivators with fixed caves, would buy this kind of thing.

……

The next day, Li An went out again, and he also sold the Ganoderma lucidum and parasitic spirit vine fruits left on his body.

Only the second-grade You Guanglian was not sold. This kind of thing is hard to come by, and it is a strategic material. Li An will not make a move unless it is absolutely necessary.

Currently, he has 420 spirit stones in his hand.

It's a small fortune.

He immediately went to Xuanyangzong's formation shop.

In the past three years, he was quite familiar with the people of Xuanyangzong here. After entering the store, the store owner Shouye saw him, and immediately smiled and said:

"Li Fushi, what wind brought you here?"

"Zhang Daoyou, I want to see the formation."

Li An got straight to the point.

Seeing this, Zhang Shouye said in a low voice: "I came to see the formation again... You also got the news?"

Li An approached and said, "What news?"

Zhang Shouye said: "Are you pretending to be with me? The magic cultivator robbed Liuyang Hefang City. Today, several Xiuxian family shops in Fangshi came to ask about the formation..."

Li An's heart trembled, it really wasn't groundless!
"Actually, it's not necessary. The demon cultivator just made a mess, so he will definitely hide for a while. Moreover, the masters sent by the sect have already patrolled the four directions. It won't be long before the demon cultivator will be captured..."

The formation shop was the most leisurely place, so Zhang Shouye was quite talkative when he was free, and he talked a lot, and Li An learned more news from him.

The demon cultivator killed three people in the Liuyanghe Ling Pharmacy, one of them was a master of the sixth level of Qi refining!
The foundation-building monks in Liuyanghe's town opened a large blockade and searched for several days in a row, but they couldn't find the demon cultivator.

……

Li An quickly judged that this demon cultivator must have a cultivation level above the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he must be a master in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Maybe it might be the peak of Qi training!

After all, to be able to escape quickly after a murder is too fast.

Moreover, there must be some kind of secret technique that can hide breath and so on.

The more Li An thought about it, the more he felt that he had to be prepared, and immediately asked: "Is there a protective formation, let me see?"

Zhang Shouye pointed to the display cabinet and said, "A low-level formation can stop early practitioners of Qi training, one hundred spirit stones; an intermediate formation, three hundred spirit stones; an advanced formation, nine hundred spirit stones..."

An advanced formation that can resist practitioners in the late stage of Qi refining.

But Li An didn't think much of it, he shook his head and said, "I want a high-quality product!"

Zhang Shouye said: "Hey, Li Fushi is rich and powerful..."

Immediately took out an atlas, "The lowest level, the initial foundation formation, three thousand spirit stones."

For this level, the formation store has no stock at all. If you want it, you have to pay a deposit first, and then the Zongmen will make it to order.

The corner of Li An's mouth twitched.

Seeing Li An's expression, Zhang Shouye couldn't help laughing. He stroked his beard and said:

"In this way, for the sake of acquaintances, I have a good thing. It is of high quality and cheap. Let me show you?"

Li An moved his head and nodded.

Zhang Shouye turned around, took out a dusty white jade array plate from a display case, and blew it hard, causing the dust to rise everywhere. He handed it to Li An:

"This is Elder Luo of the Formation Hall. He made it when he was promoted to the second-level formation master. It is more powerful than the first-level advanced formation. It is almost a must-kill for practitioners below the foundation establishment stage!"

"Of course, there is also a small disadvantage. It can only be used once...but it is cheaper!"

Li An frowned, checked it carefully, and couldn't help sneering in his heart.

This piece of Shouye is not a fuel-efficient lamp...that's only half the story.

The biggest problem with this array is that you can't actively defend and attack the enemy, you need to control it yourself!
Needing to control it by oneself means that a lot of spiritual consciousness or spiritual power needs to be consumed, which means that practitioners in the foundation building stage will not like it, and practitioners in the qi refining stage will not use it.

Very tasteless.

Zhang Shouye wanted to cheat Li An, this is it.

"The quality of this is not good...how can I sell it?" Li An asked casually.

"For the sake of our two old acquaintances, I will give you a discounted price, eight hundred spirit stones!"

Li An turned around and left.

"Come on, Li Fushi, the price is negotiable, even seven hundred and eighty..."

But Ang Lee is gone.

He wasn't in a hurry to buy it, one was that the price was too expensive and he didn't have so much money, and the other was that it would be suspicious to buy it directly.

That night, Li An returned to the talisman store and was refining talismans.

"Junior Brother Li, are you there?"

Tan Qingxue knocked on his door.
