Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 139: The Domineering Frail Girl

The target of Baihu Mountain is the Wang Mansion!

This is the first conclusion that Li An came up with in his mind.

Li An himself has no value for the Gold Core cultivation, and it is not worth Baihu Mountain's effort.

But after becoming the chief of Treasure Pavilion, he can to a large extent control the resources of the Wang Mansion.

Treasure Pavilion itself is a channel for the Wang Mansion to collect resources.

Moreover, the items that Baihu Zhenren asked Li An to collect are very targeted.

A few years ago, the Wang Mansion collected a large amount of Fetus Soul Grass and Heavenly Slaughter Stone through Treasure Pavilion.

Fetus Soul Grass can be used to nourish the divine soul.

Heavenly Slaughter Stone can be used for demonic cultivation or to create super killing formations.

Baihu Zhenren wants Li An to collect Soul-Eating Roots and Breaking Evil Springs for Baihu Mountain, and these Soul-Eating Roots can refine treasures specifically targeting the divine soul, which is the opposite of Fetus Soul Grass.

Breaking Evil Springs, on the other hand, can break the power of Heavenly Slaughter Stone.

In addition, Baihu Zhenren also wants Li An to give high-quality Fetus Soul Grass and Heavenly Slaughter Stone to the Wang Mansion... If Li An is not mistaken, the items they give to the Wang Mansion must also have problems.

"Is Baihu Mountain planning to make a move against the Wang Mansion?"

Li An couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

There will eventually be a battle between the two.

What troubles him is that now he is involved in a more central position on both sides...

This is ridiculous.

Li An is currently burdened with worries. On one hand, he has to deal with Baihu Mountain, and on the other hand, he has to guard against the damn Third Princess and the owner of the mysterious demonic aura.

"This time, it is Baihu Mountain taking the initiative. The time to make a move should be after I have collected everything and presented the corresponding treasures to the Wang Mansion..."

Li An pondered.

There is still time!

As long as he can collect all the poisonous medicines before all of this happens, and completely refine the mysterious demonic aura, he can just run away.

As for what Baihu Mountain, the Wang Mansion, and the owner of the mysterious demonic aura are fighting over... it has nothing to do with him.

Let them fight and kill each other. When the opportunity comes, he will take the top-grade Yuan Ling Pill and achieve Gold Core in another place, and then he can soar freely in the sky...

"Baihu Mountain is really willing to spend a lot..."

Li An took out the third-grade Fetus Soul Grass and was quite satisfied.

There are benefits to deceiving a tiger for its skin. The things he deceived are all good.

Without hesitation, he directly swallowed the Fetus Soul Grass.

Actually, the effect would be better after refining it into a pill, but finding a third-grade alchemist for this kind of thing would cause a lot of trouble. He would rather sacrifice some of the medicinal effects.

For the next month, Li An secluded himself and nurtured his divine soul.

One month later.

"The coverage distance of my divine sense has increased by more than eight li!"

Now, Li An's divine sense scanning range has reached nearly thirty li.

It should be noted that the divine sense coverage range of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is usually only about fifty to sixty li.

In terms of divine sense, Li An can be considered invincible in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Besides, I should ask Baihu Mountain for some good things..."

Li An pondered for a moment, then sent out invitations!

One month later, he will leave Baihu City and take up the position of the chief of the main pavilion, so he invited his old friends.

This is just an excuse to receive gifts!

The most important thing is that the Demon-Slaying Array in Baihu City has already been closed. Who knows if there are spies sent by the Third Princess inside the city? By sending out invitations and receiving gifts, the things sent by Baihu Mountain can be hidden.

In the invitation to Baihu Mountain, he also included another secret letter.

...

"The Honglu Furnace technique has been successful. Xu Qiuhui is smart and cautious, so she should be able to handle it."

In the secret hall of Baihu Mountain, Baihu Zhenren spoke to the frail girl.

Although he is a Gold Core cultivator, when talking to this frail girl, Baihu Zhenren's expression never showed any sense of superiority or arrogance.

Sometimes, he even appeared somewhat humble!

"It would be best if she succeeds."

The frail girl said calmly, "After all, the Western Ling Yuan Continent is still relatively peaceful, and I don't want to ruin it here..."

Although the Great Li Dynasty is vast... it is only a corner of the Western Ling Yuan Continent!

In the Western Ling Yuan Continent, there are many forces and countries like the Great Li Dynasty.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Baihu Zhenren's eyes showed a hint of complexity. He said, "If there really is a problem that leads to failure, then..."

"Then I will slaughter Tianyang City. I won't spare even a sparrow, an earthworm, or a mosquito. In doing so, I want to see where my sister's lingering soul can attach itself to--" The frail girl spoke with great certainty, and in her clear eyes, there was a resolute determination like that of a hero sacrificing their own hand.

"Even if I have to pay a great price for doing so, as long as my sister dies... everything will be worth it."

Baihu Zhenren pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Believe in Qiuhui."

That's the only thing we can do.

"By the way, the Nascent Soul cultivator with the innate Yin destiny... has already been obtained by Tianyang City, right?" Baihu Zhenren continued to ask.

"Mm." The frail girl replied lightly, "I managed to send her over many years ago. The 'Three Yangs and One Yin Method' can achieve Nascent Soul cultivation. It is a unique secret technique of our demonic sect... Jingbei Wang must have obtained this method from my sister."

"Jingbei Wang destroyed Xuanyang Sect and captured Xuanyang Zhenren. When he targeted you afterwards, it shows that he only lacks the 'Yin' cultivator for his Nascent Soul cultivation. Now it seems that his progress is fast..." Baihu Zhenren couldn't help but sigh, "If he really achieves Nascent Soul, the Great Li Empire will likely fall into his hands..."

However, a hint of mockery appeared in the frail girl's eyes. "The day he achieves Nascent Soul is the day my sister's lingering soul is reborn."

"The Nascent Soul he achieves through this method is the best place for my sister's lingering soul to reside!"

"Just a fool."

Baihu Zhenren was stunned for a long time. Even though she was a cultivator at the Gold Core stage, she couldn't help but feel frightened when she heard the frail girl talk about these things.

Even Jingbei Wang, even herself, were just pawns...

At this moment, a knocking sound came from outside the secret chamber.

"Come in--" Baihu Zhenren spoke.

Her disciple, Mo Xuan, came in person and respectfully handed her an invitation letter. "Zuo Wen, the Chief Minister, is about to go to Tianyang City and has sent an invitation letter inviting you to attend."

Baihu Zhenren didn't directly look at the invitation letter, but instead opened the confidential letter inside.

"She really has quite the appetite." She sneered, but didn't raise her head. "Mo Xuan, when Zuo Wen holds the banquet in three days, send a congratulatory gift. It should be a formal gift, but secretly hide two sets of materials for third-grade formations."

Mo Xuan was momentarily puzzled, as these two sets of third-grade formation materials were extremely precious.

To actually give them to Zuo Wen?

But he didn't say anything and respectfully agreed before turning to leave.

After he left...

"You see, Xu Qiuhui is quite clever. She knows that she is useful to me now, so she dares to ask for these things..." Baihu Zhenren smiled faintly. "Are you more at ease with her now?"

"Not really. She is just a disposable pawn. If she succeeds, it will be easier for me to kill my sister. If she fails, I will just have to put in a bit more effort... slaughtering a city is nothing new." The frail girl spoke casually.

Baihu Zhenren's expression, however, was complex. This girl may appear weak and sickly, gentle and quiet, but when her domineering side is revealed, even someone like her, a cultivator at the Gold Core stage, finds it dazzling...

...

Three days later.

Zuo Wen held a grand banquet.

Countless gifts were received!

Among them, the most precious were the ones given by the Hefei Wang family.

After Wang Dazhu of the Hefei Wang family died, Chen Qingling took over the family.

As a False Dan cultivator, she had complete control over her domain, and her abilities were fully displayed. She generously sent Li An a second-grade magic treasure of extremely high quality.

But the most valuable gift in secret was the two sets of third-grade formation materials from Baihu Mountain.

"So generous..." Li An sighed once again. In the confidential letter, he only asked for one set...

But Baihu Zhenren gave him double.

When working for a big shot, the treatment was strong.

After the banquet, the next day.

Li An finally set off and left Baihu City--

From beginning to end, he never looked at the top-grade spirit pill buried in that deep well, as if it had never existed...

...

Goodnight.
