Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 142: Sisters' Game

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

During these ten years, Li An could be said to have had smooth sailing.

The Baihu Mountain had sent over many Tier 2 and Tier 3 Heavenly Devil Stones and Fetus Soul Grass.

Li An deducted a portion and then sent them to the Wang Mansion through the Treasure Pavilion.

In addition, within his authority, he secretly collected items such as Soul Devouring Roots and Breaking Evil Springs for the Baihu Mountain.

...

"My kidneys have finally reached completion. Just in terms of strength and endurance, I am three times that of cultivators of the same level!"

The Golden Treasury Technique had reached a preliminary success, reaching the level of his past life.

Now, when Li An engaged in physical combat, he was an absolute nightmare for cultivators of the same level. In a certain sense, he was also following the path of body cultivation.

"Triple Element Slash, Slash the Elemental Body, preliminary completion..."

Li An nodded in satisfaction.

Currently, he had sufficient confidence when facing cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage!

In addition, he took out a box and opened it, his eyes filled with excitement.

"A Tier 3 Inscription Pen, I finally got it..."

This was the thing he had wanted the most in the past ten years!

Inscription Pen!

With an Inscription Pen, he could create Tier 3 Inscriptions.

Apart from his physical body, the two things Li An relied on the most were Inscriptions and Formations.

In terms of Formations, he had been making progress over the past ten years, repeatedly refining the two sets of Tier 3 Formation materials obtained from the Baihu Mountain.

It was estimated that in another four to five years, he would be able to start refining them!

In reality, although Tier 3 Formations were difficult, an average qualified Formation Master could refine them in one to three years.

But Li An was prepared to spend fifteen years!

There was no other reason, he wanted to achieve a one hundred percent success rate.

Although he had experience from his past life, his cultivation and divine sense in this life were still not comparable to his previous life. Therefore, he needed more time to familiarize himself with the materials and ensure that every step was well-prepared in order to successfully refine them.

As for Inscriptions, he had stopped for now. The reason was that the old Inscription Pen he had collected had already decayed and could no longer be used.

He had collected one hundred and twenty-three Tier 3 Inscription Papers, but he had always been lacking a pen.

Until today, after he had someone send a batch of Soul Devouring Roots to the Baihu Mountain, according to his request from a few years ago, the Baihu Mountain gave him an Inscription Pen.

It could be said that Li An's smooth development over these years was all thanks to taking advantage of two big households!

On the side of the Treasure Pavilion, he would use his authority to buy things that could originally be bought with one hundred spirit stones for one hundred and fifty, and then embezzle thirty to forty.

On the side of the Baihu Mountain, he would inevitably deduct a portion of the supplies he sent to the Wang Mansion. The things sent to the Baihu Mountain were all sold at high prices, and from time to time, the Baihu Mountain would give him some rare materials.

He was benefiting from both sides, becoming extremely wealthy.

If not for this, how could he have cultivated the Golden Treasury Technique so smoothly?

...

"First, I'll make Tier 3 Scattered Spirit Inscriptions."

He had refined them before when he was in the Baihu City, so he had more experience.

The success rate would be higher.

Holding a crystal-clear third-order talisman pen, within the pen body that resembled crystal, there seemed to be a mysterious power circulating, ultimately injecting into the tip of the pen, activating the third-order spirit ink.

The tip of the pen landed on the snow-white talisman paper.

...

Ten days later.

Li An successfully created a third-order scattered spirit talisman!

It took eleven pieces of talisman paper!

"As a defensive talisman, the scattered spirit talisman should not be excessive, around five pieces is enough. The focus is on the third-order flying talisman—"

This was his goal.

In reality, he already had many second-order levitation talismans.

But the levitation talisman could only allow him to briefly ascend and fly a leisurely distance, its speed was incomparable to that of a true Foundation Building expert.

But the flying talisman was a true life-saving treasure.

As long as his spiritual power was sufficient, one talisman could fly around ten li, and its speed was similar to that of an early Foundation Building cultivator.

However, the difficulty of refining it was also very high.

From the beginning, Li An had no intention of confronting the Third Princess or the White Tiger Mountain head-on.

Even if he had the Life-Preserving Immortal Casting Technique, the power of the Life Seed, and even gathered the three major demonic arts of the Demon Sect, and had past life experience... but to confront a Foundation Building cultivator with Foundation Establishment, it was still a dead end.

There was a huge gap between the two!

Fighting across realms? That was a plot only found in fantasy novels.

In short, everything was being prepared for escape!

"The scattered spirit talisman can be used to block the attacks of Foundation Building cultivators, allowing me to withstand one or two blows without being seriously injured or killed, while the flying talisman can help me escape... In addition, I will refine two more trapping formations specifically used to obstruct Foundation Building cultivators."

"This way, I will be much more composed when escaping."

His train of thought was very clear, being able to escape meant winning!

"In another five years, the demonic energy in my body will be completely refined..."

He was extremely looking forward to it. Once five years passed, he would run directly!

The only worry now was the upcoming battle between the White Tiger Mountain and the Wang Mansion.

In the past year or two, the supplies sent from the White Tiger Mountain to the Wang Mansion had decreased, and Li An was no longer urged to collect supplies as before.

This likely meant that both sides were well-prepared.

The great battle was about to begin.

Even as the chief, Li An had very limited knowledge of the information.

"I hope to escape from Tianyang City before the battle between the two sides..."

With the start of the battle, there would be more variables.

He detested risks.

After completing the first complete third-order scattered spirit talisman, he moved his body a bit, then suddenly crawled under the bed and lifted a board—

He continued... digging a tunnel!

Using the same old trick!

This time, the difficulty of digging the tunnel was much greater. In order to avoid being discovered, he dug the tunnel very deep, reaching about fifty meters underground.

And the space was even smaller.

It has been ten years, and we still haven't reached the city gate...

The main reason is that Tianyang City is also covered by a large formation. Li An had to study for several years to determine a route that avoids detection by the formation, which has made the distance longer.

However, he is very patient. If he works hard and is cautious now, having multiple escape routes means having multiple ways to survive!

...

Baihu Mountain.

"The Heavenly Calamity Stone, the Fetal Soul Grass, the Soul Devouring Root, the Breaking Calamity Spring... In these years, almost everything in Baihu Mountain has been bet on these things."

Baihu Zhenren sighed and said, "Fortunately, everything seems to be going smoothly..."

In fact, even though she is a Gold Core cultivator, she has been worried about the depletion of Baihu Mountain's treasure trove over the years. After all, the third-grade Fetal Soul Grass, Heavenly Calamity Stone, and others are all very valuable, and the acquisition of the Breaking Calamity Spring and Soul Devouring Root has cost a lot.

But she also understands that this is a gamble!

If they win, Baihu Mountain will take a step forward and may even establish a dominant position in the Daoist tradition.

If they lose, they will be completely destroyed, and even she doesn't know if she can survive.

But that's how cultivation is, a fight against fate!

They must give it their all!

"It's going too smoothly..."

The frail girl murmured to herself, "I always feel that something is not right..."

Baihu Zhenren's heart tightened slightly, "What's not right?"

The frail girl shook her head, "It's nothing."

At this moment, however, she recalled some childhood memories.

When she was young, she liked to play hide-and-seek with her sister.

Her sister had a method. Every time she hadn't found her yet, she would deliberately say loudly, "Little sister, I found you!" to lure her out.

When she actually found her, she would stay silent and suddenly appear next to her, scaring her.

This time, she inexplicably remembered the feeling of playing hide-and-seek in her childhood...

"When you were being chased and had nowhere to go, you escaped to this realm with only a remnant soul. All your subordinates were wiped out, and even the third-ranked battle general died... You have nothing left, but I have a way to kill you."

The frail girl murmured, as if encouraging herself!

...

In the Wang Mansion.

"The Three Yangs and One Yin Technique, the four powerful Foundation Building cultivators, I have already assimilated them. I'm only one step away from breaking through to Nascent Soul..."

In the heavily guarded seclusion room, a middle-aged man in a yellow robe had a gleam in his eyes!

Behind him, four cultivators sat like wooden statues, their bodies bound by divine golden chains, seemingly lifeless.

Three men and one woman!

One of them was none other than the former Sect Master of Xunyang Sect, Xunyang Zhenren!

"Prepare to activate the Samsara Formation!"

The middle-aged man walked out and calmly said.

Someone immediately left in secret.

...

Shortly after.

In a secret hall.

"Master, the 'Samsara Formation' has been set up with the Wang Mansion as the center. It seems that my father will soon break through to Nascent Soul..."

Third Princess Li Weixue stood respectfully in front of the Horse-Faced Executioner, reporting.

The Horse-Faced Executioner nodded, "Well done, continue to monitor."

Li Weixue quickly withdrew.

After she left, the Horse-Faced Executioner's chest suddenly split open, and blood sprayed out, revealing a blood shadow in front of him.

"Elder..."

The Horse-Faced Executioner respectfully bowed his head, "It seems that the plan is about to succeed..."

"The plan is about to succeed. Don't you think everything is going too smoothly?"

But the blood shadow woman spoke indifferently.

The Horse-Faced Executioner was somewhat puzzled.

"In calm waters, there are often hidden waves... I need to go find Li An again."

"This person is the key to my plan. Even if I can't kill my sister, I must obtain him!"

The blood shadow woman said in a deep voice, "Also, have you prepared the Elemental Spirit Pill I asked you to prepare?"

The Horse-Faced Executioner said, "Rest assured, I have already found it—"

"Bring it out. I will take it to see Li An tomorrow."

The blood shadow woman's words were full of meaning, "He should also prepare for Foundation Building—"

...

The next day, Li An had just arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

"Chief, a peerless treasure has arrived—"

Chen Long, an ordinary appraiser, ran up to him, "A third-grade Elemental Spirit Pill!"

Chen Long was personally groomed by Li An and was extremely loyal to him.

When he came across something good, he thought of Li An first.

Li An was also surprised. A third-grade Elemental Spirit Pill...

Who would put something like this up for auction?

Impossible!

That was his first instinct.

"I have already asked the customer to wait for you in your appraisal room."

Chen Long invited himself, "No one else knows about this yet, not even the Pavilion Master..."

"You've done well,"

Li An nodded, then let him leave and went to the appraisal room himself.

Pushing open the door, the customer sitting in the appraisal room had already stood up.

It was an old man with cloudy eyes, at the late stage of Foundation Building, very powerful.

But what made Li An wary was...

This person was the owner of the mysterious demonic aura!

This chapter was rushed out during the night in Motuo.

The second chapter is also being rushed.
