Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 76: Li Guanxuan's Persistence (Please Bookmark)

But then Zheng Huangjin said, "The boss has sent a message back. There are more than ten mid-level second-stage demon cores on her side, but the attributes are not of superior quality."

However, Shanggu City's main auction will be held in a month, and there will definitely be late-stage second-stage demon cores with above-average attributes. She asked if you want to go, and she can help you get an admission token."

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan was somewhat tempted.

In order to successfully build a foundation steadily before the age of sixty, he had spared no effort, fearing that any mistake would lead to a failure in foundation building...

If such a situation really occurred, it would be very difficult for him to attempt foundation building again in the future.

Therefore, it was very necessary to increase the chance of the Foundation Building Pill to three and a half.

Moreover, he still had twelve sets of Foundation Building Pill materials, but the quality of the demon cores was slightly inferior. If he could exchange for two or three better late-stage second-stage demon cores, he might really be able to increase the chance of the Foundation Building Pill to three and a half.

And, after selling ten Foundation Building Pills, he would have an extra one thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which would be equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Seeing Li Guanxuan sitting there drinking tea in silence, Zheng Huangjin somewhat guessed his thoughts and smiled, "No need to worry about safety issues. The boss is still in Shanggu City, and no one can do anything to you. Myriad Manifestations Pavilion is like a towering tree that can provide you with shade."

Furthermore, although it's important to be cautious, if you don't seize the opportunity in front of you, you may have some regrets in the future, and your state of mind may be affected."

"I will definitely go to this auction, but what I'm worried about is that the Foundation Building Pill with a three and a half chance, which Myriad Manifestations Pavilion will release, may have attracted the attention of many forces investigating who the pill came from..." Li Guanxuan's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "During the Foundation Building Pill auction held by the boss in Shanggu City before, it may have touched the interests of the Shanggu City main."

Therefore, it is highly probable that the main of Shanggu City is holding this auction to find the alchemist hiding behind Myriad Manifestations Pavilion."

Previously, when he taught alchemy and talisman techniques at Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, he did not claim to be able to refine the Foundation Building Pill. He mainly taught talisman techniques, and only gave a few pointers on alchemy.

Because he was very clear that an alchemist who could refine the Foundation Building Pill with a three and a half chance would be highly sought after no matter where they went.

But he relied on Myriad Manifestations Pavilion to make a fortune.

In addition, over the years, Zheng Huangjin had treated him very well, and the two had already formed a deep friendship, calling each other brothers.

And Liu Xiaoxian took him as a disciple. At first, it may not have been sincere, but as time went on, Liu Xiaoxian treated him as her only disciple.

Apart from Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Li Guanxuan did not want to have any dealings with other forces.

Who knows if he will be dragged into some conflict in the future?

After listening to Li Guanxuan's analysis, Zheng Huangjin was greatly shocked and dumbfounded, "You, you really have a meticulous mind... No wonder you have always refused to take on the position of a guest elder. It turns out that you had already anticipated that some forces would target you?"

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and said, "The position of a guest elder is not significant to me. I don't care about the salary and treatment. Anyway, I have my older brother and master taking care of me. Can the branch of Myriad Manifestations Pavilion in Shanggu City and Silver Maple City treat me badly?"

"I surrender..." Zheng Huangjin sighed deeply. He really surrendered to this guy.

Those alchemists and talisman masters with outstanding talents would do anything to make themselves known in the cultivation world, so that they could gain respect and receive special treatment from others.

But Li Guanxuan went against the tide and chose to hide, refusing to stand out no matter what.

When there were outsiders present, Li Guanxuan even called Liu Xiaoxian "Shopkeeper Liu" or "Senior Liu," not wanting to have any personal connections.

"Fortunately, the four Foundation Building Pills you gave me, I followed the procedure and handed them over to the boss for the auction. I only earned achievements. If I had sold them in Silver Maple City, there would probably have been big problems... No, wait."

Zheng Huangjin suddenly realized that even if he had sold them in Silver Maple City, very few people would have traced it back to Li Guanxuan.

After all, Fugui referred to him as Li Talisman Master, not alchemist...

Some people who didn't know Li Guanxuan would initially call him alchemist, but they changed their words along with Fugui.

Moreover, Li Guanxuan was not the only one he personally received. So very few people would be able to find out that he was the alchemist who could refine the Foundation Building Pill with a three and a half chance.

"I usually hand over the talismans and pills to Fugui to handle. There are more talismans, and precious things are brought up personally, claiming to be here for tea, so no one will find out about me."

Li Guanxuan rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "I will send a message to my master first and discuss with her. If it really doesn't work, I will trouble her to help me get the late-stage second-stage demon cores at the auction. I won't show up myself. It's too dangerous outside."

Looking at this timid guy, Zheng Huangjin nodded helplessly.

Since he met Li Guanxuan, this guy seems to have been quite cautious about his life.

But it's normal. In this cruel and dangerous cultivation world, if you're not careful, you'll eventually be devoured, leaving nothing but bone fragments.

But...

Li Guanxuan seems to be overly cautious.

After a moment, Zheng Huangjin said, "The boss replied. She said that if that's the case, once she helps you bid for a second-stage late-stage demon core, the price will probably be outrageously high. The Shanggu City Lord might even manipulate things behind the scenes and buy the second-stage late-stage demon core at a high price, not selling it to her."

Hearing this, Li Guanxuan sighed, "So, I have to do it myself?"

Zheng Huangjin nodded and added, "The boss can't get you an entry jade card. You'll need to handle it yourself."

"..."

Li Guanxuan really had a feeling of "just destroy it, I'm annoyed."

He couldn't ask someone to help him bid for a second-stage late-stage demon core because he only knew a few people, and they were all from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

Should he ask Qin Jiyue?

No, it's too dangerous. If something happens, I'll probably blame myself and fail at Foundation Building directly.

There's also Cao Mang...

Forget it, this big fool might expose me directly.

Moreover, as an artifact master, Cao Mang might also be tempted by a second-stage late-stage demon core. There's no need to test human nature with something like this.

After thinking it over, Li Guanxuan realized that he could only go there himself.

Seeing Li Guanxuan sitting there in deep thought, Zheng Huangjin couldn't help but advise, "If it really doesn't work, just forget it. A three in ten chance of a Foundation Building pill is already enough. There's no need to take this risk."

Li Guanxuan helplessly said, "According to my own plan, I must reach the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Refining within two years, and spend one year in seclusion for Foundation Building. Only then will the success rate of Foundation Building be higher...

But no matter what, I'm almost sixty years old when I'm about to do Foundation Building. I'm just barely meeting the minimum danger line. So now, even if there's a tiny bit of hope to increase the success rate, I have to try my best to fight for it, so as to avoid any accidents during Foundation Building."

Li Guanxuan stopped hesitating and made up his mind:

"I still have to go to the auction in Shanggu City. At that time, I can assess the situation first. If the situation is too complicated, I won't go for the second-stage late-stage demon core."

As tempting as the second-stage late-stage demon core is, it's not as important as his own life.

If it's really a trap set by the Shanggu City Lord, he can just slip away.

With his master protecting him, the worst that can happen is exposing his identity, which will only bring a little more trouble and social interaction in the future.

"If the spring breeze has pity for the flowers, can it grant me youth again?"

Li Guanxuan thought of himself at the age of twelve, wandering in the land of immortals.

At that time, he had his hands in his pockets, young and reckless... Although he was beaten black and blue, he still had an indomitable spirit.

But as time passed, that indomitable spirit gradually faded away.

Now, at almost sixty years old, when he's about to do Foundation Building, he should bring out a little bit of fighting spirit.

"Alright, this way there will be no regrets." Zheng Huangjin smiled.

"Let the master help me. I need a disguise and a change in body shape." Li Guanxuan said seriously.

"Don't worry, the boss will definitely arrange it for you clearly."

"Then I'll go back first. I still need to discuss this with Jiyue."

"On your way... well, you'll probably be very careful."

"..."
