Chapter 183 The Fish Takes the Bait and Waits for the Rabbit (Long Chapter)
What Zhou Libai brought back was an early stage cultivator of true elixirs named Han Liu, who was a weapon refiner.
After this person arrived, he stayed on Lingdong Peak for three days and three nights, and only came to visit Li An on the fourth day.
He was strong and strong and looked like an iron tower. He sat opposite Li An and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I heard from Li Bai that you and she seem to have quite a friendship, but from now on, she is my wife. That's all in the past. I just hope that we won't get entangled with each other from now on, how about that?"
As he said this, he gave a gift: "A little thought."
Li An was stunned when he heard this.
Zhou Libai, what did you say?
What does it mean not to get entangled with each other? When did I get entangled with Zhou Libai?
He suddenly understood why Xiang Yuntian wanted to hack Zhou Libai to death...
"Brother Han, please rest assured. There is not much contact between Lin and fellow Taoist Zhou. From now on, we will cut off everything as Brother Han said!"
He spoke loudly.
I couldn’t ask for it more.
Han Li nodded and left immediately.
…
In the following period, Zhou Libai and Han Li were just like she and Ba Jijian at the beginning, and it was completely impossible to tell that she was a person whose husband had just died not long ago.
Ang Lee ignored this.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Li An paid close attention to the direction of Baihua Valley. Finally, on this day, a butterfly flew out and wandered around the edge of Baihua Valley.
Li An immediately used his animal control skills and easily controlled the spirit butterfly.
Then he brought the spirit butterfly back to Lingjing Peak and slowly released it on the third day.
It was exactly noon.
On Lingdong Peak, Han Tuo had just walked out of Zhou Libai's cave. Even though he was a tough guy, he couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his kidneys in the past few days, so he was going to go down the mountain to buy some nourishing medicine.
Otherwise I won’t be able to stand it.
The large formation at Lingdong Peak was activated and they just walked out.
"Um?"
Suddenly, he noticed a spiritual butterfly, flapping its broken wings, landing in a flower next to it.
He was a true alchemy cultivator, and he immediately realized how extraordinary this spiritual butterfly was.
He reached out to pick up the spirit butterfly and returned to the cave.
…
In the next few days, Li An noticed that Han Li and Zhou Libai often went out, as if they were looking for something around them.
It worked!
When the spirit butterfly flew to Spiritual Peak, the two of them must have noticed it and discovered the extraordinary aura contained in the spirit butterfly.
Zhou Libai is eager to feed butterflies and will definitely find the source of this spiritual butterfly.
This is the first step in his plan.
It is estimated that they will have to search for another three to five days before they can find the rose he left in the Valley of Flowers...
Li An calmed down and set up the second-grade alchemy furnace and various medicinal materials.
Today, he is finally going to challenge the second-grade alchemist!
…
Seven days later.
Uncharacteristically, Zhou Libai and Han Li never went out again. Instead, the large formation on Lingdong Peak was always open to prevent others from approaching.
Li An guessed that they had already obtained the roses and were feeding the butterflies with them.
very good!
On this day, Li An left Lingjing Peak.
He headed towards Tiansha City.
After arriving at Tiansha City, he did not rush to participate in the trade fair, but stayed there first.
…
More than ten days later, there was a small trade fair for true elixir cultivators.
"I have a furnace of third-grade evil-clearing pills, three pills in total."
Li An spoke.
He has already refined a furnace of second-grade evil-clearing elixirs and has officially become a second-grade alchemist. However, it is far from impossible to refine third-grade elixirs.
What he is selling now is the spoils of his last acquisition.
The reason for doing this is to cover up. After all, he will hand over the second-grade Qingsha Pill to Lord Bai Shan in a while in exchange for his contribution. He sells the second-grade Qingsha Pill at the trade fair. If someone is interested, he may not be able to investigate. Found clues.
Immediately, several other true elixir cultivators looked enthusiastic and inquired about prices.
A third-level evil-clearing pill is worth a lot of money, selling for about a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.
Li An made a sale and gained more than 3,000 medium-grade spiritual stones. Then he fell in love with two exotic metal refining materials and bought them all immediately, spending more than 1,700 spiritual stones.
"Is this fellow Taoist an alchemist?"
The cultivator who sold him the weapon-refining materials asked.
"yes."
Ang Lee didn't hide anything.
"Fellow Taoist, I will only charge you for one of these two items of weapon refining materials!"
This cultivator is very generous.
Li An remained calm, "Oh? No reward for no merit..."
The cultivator smiled, "Of course, I also have a request."
"In the future, if fellow Taoists have Qingsha Dan, what will happen if they all come here to participate in our transactions?"
What he was interested in was Li An's identity as a third-grade alchemist.
It should be noted that Qingsha Pill is a necessity in the Tiansha Mountains. Therefore, the major mountain owners have very strict control over this material. Any alchemist who can refine it will be won over by the mountain owner to prevent the pill from leaking out. For example, She lady.
As a result, most cultivators can only risk their lives to explore ruins and gain contributions, and then redeem them from the mountain owner.
There are very few evil-clearing pills available on the market.
It would be great if they could recruit an alchemist in their circle, as they would have a stable supply channel.
After all, who is willing to take the risk to exchange for something that can be bought with spirit stones? Everyone is not stupid.
Li An thought about it for a while, but still insisted on paying two portions of the spiritual stones. He said, "Slow water will flow forever. If I still have a third-grade Qingsha Pill in the future, I will give priority to trading here."
No guarantees are made.
The cultivator nodded. He also understood that the third-grade alchemist was very disciplined in this regard. He was afraid that his identity would be exposed and he would be punished by the mountain master!
He immediately said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, we will not leak a word about the trading situation here!"
Several other traders also nodded, hoping to retain Ang Lee.
"By the way, I still want to buy something."
Li An then spoke, "I raise a spirit spider. At a critical moment recently, I am in urgent need of the spirit blood of albizia butterflies, fallen centipedes and other spirit insects. If any fellow Taoist can provide it, I can exchange it with the Evil Elixir Pill."
No one answered, but two of the true alchemy cultivators looked at each other!
——These two true alchemy cultivators are from the subordinates of Lord Baishan!
Li An stayed in Tiansha City for more than ten days before he met these two people and followed them into the trade fair.
The cultivator who had just sold the materials to Li An took the opportunity to say: "In this way, after we go down, we will all ask about it. How about giving an answer to fellow Taoists at the next trade fair?"
In this way, Li An will come again next time, which will be good for them all.
"Okay, thank you all."
…
The deal will break up.
Back at Lingyun Mountain, the formation at Lingyun Peak was still closed.
At night, Li An concealed his breath and cautiously entered Baihua Valley again.
He re-selected two roses here. These two roses were located in a mountain stream. The evil energy accumulated in the mountain stream was very dangerous. The roses grew alone here, already carrying some evil energy.
Even if Han Li and the others come again, they won't be able to find them here.
Li An also buried the breath of life into it.
It won't take long for these two miraculous roses to take shape!
Then, he set up a large formation around him.
This formation was carefully crafted by Li An with great painstaking efforts. It is considered the strongest in his hands at present!
It is extremely powerful, truly second only to the fourth-order formation.
Then, Li An quietly retreated and caught a spiritual butterfly in the valley.
…
On the third day, the big formation at Lingdong Peak finally opened.
Because two true alchemy cultivators came to visit - the same two that Li An met at the trade fair.
But a quarrel broke out between the two sides.
Li An quietly controlled a spiritual butterfly that had achieved partial transformation in the Baihua Valley, and quietly flew to the foot of Lingdong Peak.
On Lingdong Peak, the two parties broke up unhappy. Zhou Libai didn't even take out the Albizia Butterfly to show the two true elixir cultivators.
The two true alchemy cultivators walked down the mountain in despair.
"Um?"
One of the true alchemy cultivators suddenly moved his eyes and saw a broken butterfly at the foot of the mountain. He quickly put it away calmly.
The two looked at each other and left immediately.
After watching the two cultivators leave with the remaining butterflies, Li An went to Lingdong Peak and curiously asked:
"Fellow Daoist Han, what happened? Why are you arguing?"
"It's nothing, just a little thing."
Han Diao spoke calmly, but there were heavy bags under his eyes and some dark circles, and he looked very tired.
Zhou Libai, on the other hand, was very direct. She glanced at Li An coldly, and then suddenly closed the Smart Peak Formation.
Li An: "..."
After the formation is closed.
"Didn't you say that this person is quite admired by the mountain master? It's better not to quarrel..."
Han Tiao couldn't help but frown.
"That was before."
Zhou Libai smiled coldly, "The spirit butterfly has swallowed the entire spirit flower. By then, the spirit butterfly will also hopefully embark on the path of demonization. What does it matter to just Lin An?"
More importantly, Lin An's rejection and humiliation of her... made her unforgettable!
Now that she has obtained the most precious treasure, there is hope that Spirit Butterfly can be transformed into a demon, so she naturally despises Li An.
…
The day after the two true elixir cultivators left, Lingyun Mountain was once again visited by an uninvited guest - Jiang Ribai!
"Mr. Bai came here to visit fellow Taoist Zhou——"
He stood in front of Lingdong Peak and spoke loudly.
Inside the Smart Peak.
"Why is he here?"
Zhou Libai suddenly frowned and became very worried.
This Jiang Ribai is not an easy person. The last time she came here, she lost the blood of the spirit butterfly. What is the purpose of coming here this time?
She suddenly remembered that the two true elixir cultivators yesterday wanted to ask her for the blood of the spiritual butterfly... Could it be related to this matter?
But they couldn't ignore it, so the couple had to bite the bullet, opened the formation, and welcomed Jiang Ribai inside.
As soon as Jiang Ribai arrived, he had already let go of his spiritual consciousness and swept across the cave.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
Han Li couldn't help but spoke in a deep voice. Jiang Ribai's behavior was really too deceiving.
Zhou Libai's expression was ugly. Spirit Butterfly was in retreat in the cave. Now... she couldn't hide it anymore!
Jiang Ribai glanced at Han Suo and suddenly said: "Your name is Han Sui, and you are a third-level weapon refiner, right?"
Han Tuo said: "It's me."
"According to the records, you were supposed to be practicing at Ziling Peak, so what are you doing here?"
Jiang Ribai's eyes were stern, "Who asked you to change the place of practice without the permission of the mountain master? Go away yourself, or should I call the law enforcement spirit beast to come and eat you?!"
He had already taken out a jade talisman in his hand. The jade talisman was a token sent by the mountain master to her subordinates, and it could be used to mobilize spiritual beasts.
Jiang Ribai also received a piece of this honor because he was previously responsible for the demonization of Tai Lizard.
When Han Qiao heard this, he was immediately speechless and his face looked very ugly.
According to the rules, anyone who wants to change their spiritual veins and practice within the main jurisdiction of Baishan must obtain permission.
But if they become a Taoist couple and go to practice together at either party's location, they usually won't care, so Han Li dared to come directly.
Now Jiang Ribai wants to investigate, and it turns out that Han Li has indeed violated the rules.
"you!……"
Han Tiao stared at Jiang Ribai, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fellow Taoist Bai, Li Bai and I are Taoist couples. This...isn't necessary?"
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
"I'm only going to say this once, get out of here, or should I let the spirit beast kill you?"
Jiang Ribai was extremely indifferent.
He had just swept away his consciousness and understood that what the two true alchemy cultivators told him was indeed true. There was indeed a great opportunity hidden here. It might even be possible for Mr. Tai Lizi, whom he was supporting, to become a master in a short period of time. Recover quickly!
In this way, he can continue to plan the demonization.
Therefore, he was determined to seize the opportunity here.
Zhou Libai is determined.
It would be best if Han Tie stayed away.
Zhou Libai bit her lower lip tightly. She already understood that Jiang Ribai was probably attracted to her butterfly...
"Han Li, please leave first -"
She opened her mouth, otherwise based on her understanding of Bai Jiang, he was cruel and would definitely kill Han Qiao.
Han Tuo's face turned pale and blue again and again. It was such a shame and humiliation, but he could only swallow his breath, wave his sleeves fiercely, and leave.
After he left.
"Fellow Daoist Bai...what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhou Libai asked warily.
Jiang Ribai put away the jade talisman, a lustful smile appeared on his old face, "Of course I will be your husband."
Zhou Libai took two steps back, gritted her teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai...please respect yourself!"
Devotion doesn't matter, chastity means nothing, but now Jiang Ribai is obviously not just here for her, but for her butterfly!
Jiang Ribai pressed forward step by step and sneered: "Are you pretending? Ha, when you brought your husband Ba Jijian to see me, your husband was waiting in the living room, but you and I were not like this in the study... What, you don’t want to change your spiritual veins or join the demon clan?”
"You can't grasp this opportunity of the Albizia Butterfly on your own!"
"Either follow me, and I will successfully cultivate Tai Lizard Yaozi into a demon, and you will have a share in the glory and wealth, or, I will kill you and still get your butterfly, but you will get nothing!"
"You can choose one."
Jiang Ribai’s words are naked!
Zhou Libai gritted her teeth, really hating her to the extreme.
She couldn't figure it out, even though everything was going so smoothly, why two people suddenly came to her door yesterday, asking for the blood of the Spirit Butterfly...
If it weren't for those two people, how could Jiang Ribai be recruited?
Now facing Jiang Ribai...she really had no right to choose.
Resist?
Jiang Ribai supports Tai Lizi Yaozi, a spiritual beast that even the Lord of Baishan values.
She had no place to reason.
If there is enough time for the spirit butterfly to be refined and absorbed to achieve transformation, then everything will be safe. She can take the spirit butterfly to ask for merit from Lord Baishan, and the spirit butterfly can also have hope of becoming a demon.
Now that nothing has been accomplished, Lord Baishan will not allow such a precious substance to be absorbed by the spirit butterfly...
"Figured out?"
Jiang Ribai sneered leisurely, sat down casually and said, "Come here when you have figured it out and kneel down."
…
Lingjing Peak.
"finally come."
Li An has been paying close attention to the situation at Lingdong Peak.
Jiang Ribai came and the plan was half done!
He estimated that in the next period of time, Jiang Ribai would slowly force out the aura absorbed from Spirit Butterfly's body and use it to nourish Tai Lizard Yaozi.
But the little bit in Psylocke's body... is not enough.
He will definitely inquire about Zhou Libai, trace the source, and eventually go to Baihua Valley...
Now, it's just a matter of waiting.
Li An immediately fully activated the mountain protection formation and put up a sign, announcing that he was in seclusion and would not welcome visitors.
Prepare for what follows.
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed!
On this day, the Lingdong Peak's grand formation finally opened. Jiang Ribai and Zhou Libai walked out together, and they didn't know where they went.
In the evening, the two returned with nothing.
late at night.
Li An took out his puppet Wang Zhongxian, changed the puppet's appearance to look exactly like him, gave the puppet a bit of his life breath, placed it in the retreat, and let the little red bird land on the puppet's shoulder.
In this way, others will not be able to find any problems if they investigate.
Moreover, the formation has been open for two consecutive months. Li An is practicing in seclusion, and both Jiang Ribai and Zhou Libai know it.
Li An then concealed his presence and secretly sneaked into Baihua Valley along an unknown path.
He captured some bees and butterflies, killed them all with evil spirit, and then scattered them randomly. Finally, he left a hidden direction in them - that mountain stream!
He hid in a mountain stream, hiding in the accumulated evil miasma.
In the mountain stream, there are two roses that he had cultivated long ago. The energy of the roses' destiny has already undergone transformation.
Li An uprooted one of the roses, put it away, and then covered up the traces of the pulling. While the other rose was left in place, he repeatedly injected a stream of poison!
His middle finger kept gently rubbing the petals, and the poisonous power had merged with his life-seed aura. Even a true elixir cultivator would never be able to tell...
Everything has been done.
Just need it now.
Stay on guard and wait for the rabbit.
