Chapter 385: Chapter 246: Evil King’s Trail (Long Chapter)

Li An suddenly understood why Gao Tai was searching for evil energy. Evil Qi, as a fringe force born of heaven and earth, can naturally be utilized by evil cultivators and is an excellent source for cultivating evil skills!

Over the past two years, Gao Tai surely found this energy in other places besides where Li An was.

And has officially become an... Evil Cultivator!

Numerous thoughts flashed through Li An’s mind.

The Evil King lineage had escaped unscathed from the chaos at the Dao Sect decades ago. Li An later heard that Evil King Evil Fourteen, Xun Dongfang, and others had fled, while Witch Lady and Tuoba Wanchong had died in battle and couldn’t escape.

The knowledge of the Evil Qi Skill should only be known to Evil Fourteen, Zhan Qingxuan, and their group.

Did they wander to the New Continent?!

This was quite normal; the Evil King had fled, and the Dao Sect pursued them madly. Daozhou was simply no place for them to take shelter, and other continents like Brahma Continent, Five Elements Continent, Sun and Moon Continent, etc., would also join in the hunt. With no way to heaven or earth, the New Continent, a power vacuum, naturally became the best sanctuary for the proliferation and survival of evil cultivators!

Perhaps they have been secretly spreading their influence in the New Continent for many years.

"Friend Gu, let’s not beat around the bush. Have you prepared the item I need?" Gao Tai asked with a smile, quite expectant.

Li An sighed, saying, "Friend Gao, follow me, please."

He led Gao Tai into the quiet room. Gao Tai took a look and was taken aback.

The Rank Four Creation Jade rough stone Li An had auctioned two years ago remained unchanged, with only about half of the evil energy extracted, while the other half still remained!

"Friend Gu, you promised two years..."

Gao Tai was displeased.

"There was genuinely no way. I never expected this evil energy to be so stubborn... Friend Gao, here are the results of these two years, take them first for use."

Li An handed Gao Tai a jade bottle. Gao Tai took it, lightly sniffed it, and felt the purest evil energy. His displeasure diminished somewhat, and he remarked, "Never mind then, but Friend Gu, you have certainly deceived me this time. You must return the favor next time!"

Li An chuckled, "Sure, sure."

"By the way,"

At this moment, Gao Tai suddenly asked, "Friend Gu, I’m quite curious, which continent of the Spirit Realm are you actually from?"

Li An laughed and said, "Why pursue these questions?"

Gao Tai smiled, "Just curious... Friend Gu, I feel you’re quite wasted on managing such a small and impoverished place like Evil Spirit Lake with your capabilities. What a pity!"

"Anyway, I’m taking my leave now—"

He turned to leave, but suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh my, I almost forgot, Friend Gu, there’s another deal. A certain friend wants to refine a Rank Four Array, mainly an imprisonment array, as strong as possible. Are you interested?"

"Of course!"

"Here’s the deposit, five hundred Spirit Stones. If you can make it well, there’s another five hundred to balance—concerning this imprisonment array, that friend specified it must be powerful enough to trap five or six Nascent Soul cultivators within a short period; do you have confidence?"

Gao Tai smiled and looked at Li An.

Li An was rather surprised. This friend of Gao Tai seemed quite generous!

A Rank Four Array generally costs around six hundred, which is considered good. The deposit alone is five hundred!

After contemplating, Li An said, "Alright, I’ll do my best... How about this, I’ll give it to you the next time you come to collect evil energy, okay?"

Gao Tai nodded: "Settled then!"

He left.

As Li An watched Gao Tai’s departing figure, a thought flashed through his mind...

Looks like this Gao Tai should be used as a step in a chess game.

Being able to connect with the Evil King lineage, hmm, it’s necessary to invest a bit.

He could clearly see Gao Tai’s intentions; the other seemed to be roping Li An in, albeit casually... Yet Li An wished to utilize him in return!

"He’s using the evil energy to cultivate evil skills, hmm... must research crafting an insect that integrates with evil energy."

Li An furrowed his brow; crafting such an insect is genuinely difficult, fearing many attempts are necessary.

.....

After sending off Gao Tai, Li An left Evil Spirit Lake, embarking on his journey to the Emperor Origin Realm.

He had been away from the Seven Yin Sect for many years now; that dear and adorable elder should be thriving?

.....

A month later.

Li An arrived at the former site of the Profound Yang Sect, now the Seven Yin Sect.

The spirit vein of the Seven Yin Sect had been restored to Rank Three, but unfortunately, under Lin Fangping’s leadership, the sect’s development wasn’t promising. Within the True Core forces in the north of Great Li, it was mid-to-low tier.

After all, Lin Fangping himself had suffered damage in cultivation, with his Nascent Soul abolished, and he dared not recruit other True Core cultivators into the sect, fearing being overtaken, thus for years, he remained the only True Core.

Of course, development was poor!

Li An infiltrated the Seven Yin Sect, observing for almost a month, and then finally found an opportunity on a certain night. He slipped a Blood Ant Gu into the Spirit Wine of one of Lin Fangping’s beloved concubines. The two drank to celebrate, going wild that night, utterly unaware.

Li An quietly retreated, hiding his achievements and name. As a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator adept at concealment, they naturally couldn’t detect a thing.

.....

Returning to Evil Spirit Lake.

Li An secluded himself for three months, pondering deeply, always researching and experimenting with the Gu technique.

Three months later.

"Got it."

Li An’s mind now had a plan... for the gift prepared for Gao Tai, the Evil Cultivator brother.
