Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 273 - 204: Gu Hong’s Fiancé?

The people from the Taiyi Sect have arrived.

－－Li An had already made arrangements, including the route, concealment, and so on, just waiting for the people from the Taiyi Sect to come looking.

He believed that the Taiyi Sect would definitely come.

Li An quietly left his territory, altered his appearance, and after some twists and turns in hiding, arrived at Broken Dragon Mountain outside Celestial Killer Mountain City.

On Broken Dragon Mountain, a woman was already waiting.

It was none other than Lihua!

Li An had already guessed it would be her because everything he arranged was precisely to have Lihua do this task.

He deliberately gave that Jade Talisman to Lihua, and then limited it to the Foundation Establishment Stage only to go...

There were many benefits to doing this. Firstly, it could allow Lihua to gain an important position in the Taiyi Sect. Secondly, at a critical moment, Lihua could most likely be turned against them!

Of course, he would not reveal his identity at this point.

"How has the Taiyi Sect considered?"

Li An stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Lihua, obviously somewhat cautious about this stranger before her, still said, "I’ve already brought part of what you wanted－－"

Saying this, she directly handed Li An a storage bag.

He glanced inside.

There were a thousand sheets of Rank Four talisman paper!

With what Li An had accumulated over these years, he now had about two thousand sheets of talisman paper.

Of course, talisman paper is not the same as a talisman, but with so many, he can officially start making Rank Four talismans.

From Rank Three to Rank Four, it’s a tremendous watershed. Trying to produce them is very difficult, and whether the cost of two thousand sheets of talisman paper can help him successfully reach the level of a Rank Four Talisman Master is still uncertain.

Li An said, "What about the others? My condition is a thousand sheets of Rank Four talisman paper, plus two sets of Rank Four Creation Jade, or the main ingredient of a Nascent Soul Pill..."

"If you wish to do business with us, you must first show us your capital, right?"

Lihua said, "Only if both sides are satisfied with this transaction, can there be a next one."

Li An laughed and immediately handed Lihua a storage bag.

In the storage bag, there was a corpse.

This corpse, which Li An refined for a long time, although only at Core Formation Level, was nurtured with the aura of Evil Crystal so that no one could see it was artificially created afterward.

Lihua finished checking and said, "Thank you－－"

After finishing, she remembered Elder Chu’s instructions and immediately said, "In addition, we also want to do another business with you."

"Oh?" Li An said.

"The map of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range."

Li An’s expression changed slightly, coldly saying, "I’m just doing business with you, providing you with the map of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range would make me a traitor, wouldn’t it?"

Lihua said, "In the Celestial Killer Mountain Range, it’s only for cultivation purposes. If greater benefits can be obtained, which are more beneficial to one’s cultivation, why care about these, right?"

She smiled slightly.

This once innocent village girl from the Four Sceneries Mountain Range, after experiencing many ups and downs, has become much more adept and mature.

Li An contemplated for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Well said, what are you going to exchange?"

"A piece of Rank Four Creation Jade!"

Lihua said, "Next time, bring the Nascent Soul Level corpse and the map together, and we will give you three pieces of Rank Four Creation Jade."

Li An was tempted, but shook his head and said, "I am the number one loyalist of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range, utterly loyal and devoted. Moreover, if I provide you with the map, who knows how many of my brothers, close friends, and loved ones would die at your hands..."

"The price must be raised!"

"The map of the Celestial Killer Mountain Range, two pieces of Rank Four Creation Jade!"

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed across Lihua’s face. Indeed, Elder Chu was right, those who can leave the Human Race forces and come to the Celestial Killer Mountain Range as lackeys of the Demon Race are mostly people who can sell out anything for profit.

"Regarding your thoughts, I will relay them to the sect."

"Previously, Zhao Changkong already provided us with one, but it wasn’t as comprehensive... We hope what you bring can satisfy us."

Li An pondered for a moment and said, "Alright."

He agreed!

Lihua smiled and said, "Pleasure doing business!"

...

The first transaction is completed.

Back at the palace, he did not start crafting talismans immediately.

He was worried.

The information obtained from the Taiyi Sect, Xiang Yuntian, and others all indicated that people from the Immortal Talent Hall were soon arriving at the Celestial Killer Mountain Range, and at that point, if war breaks out, Li An would be in trouble!

If they win, would the intensity of the war escalate further? Causing a premature full-scale war between Great Li and the Demon Race, at which point Li An would be unable to control the situation. Would Shangguan Shengxian appear, and if so, where...

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

But what if they lose? Losing the Celestial Killer Mountain Range and entering the Demon Realm was not what Li An wanted, after all, in his view, Tan Qingxue and Lady Shee were not benevolent people, and besides, the Demon Realm was not suitable for his cultivation; it would only be a last resort to avoid disaster.

To avoid this situation and continue staying in Great Li... he must make that so-called Immortal Talent Hall and even Great Li unwilling to come to the Celestial Killer Mountain Range.

Following this train of thought, to make them not come... unless the place loses its value to them.

Evil Qi!

The Immortal Talent Hall intends to come because there is a lot of Evil Qi here.

After pondering for a long time, a plan slowly formed in Li An’s mind... Although it may not necessarily succeed, he can only try his best at this point.

He immediately got up to find General Jia Man.

...

"Immortal Talent Hall?"

General Jia Man pondered, "I have heard of it, within the Human Race, it’s composed of top-tier talents from all major forces, and even in Great Li, their status is very high."

"Your information should be true, I have also investigated, and they are extremely concerned about Evil Qi."
