Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 90: Flesh Puppet

Li An carefully examined the formation plate in the living room after leading Guo Xiaoxiao inside. Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the side, supporting her smooth chin with her hand, her eyes fixed on Li An, her gaze shifting.

Li An pondered for a long time.

This formation plate was just a unique first-grade high-quality formation, which was not difficult for him.

However, what was strange was that in order to repair this formation plate, he needed to activate his divine consciousness according to the second-grade formation inheritance previously given by Guo Xiaoxiao.

This made Li An smell a hint of conspiracy.

First, let Li An familiarize himself with the operation of his divine consciousness, and then create an opportunity for him.

No matter how you look at it, it's a trap.

What he couldn't figure out was, what was the other party planning to do?

This formation plate was just a pretext, luring him to repair it according to the operation method of the second-grade inheritance.

So the conspiracy should lie with Guo Xiaoxiao herself?

Would she suddenly make a move while Li An was repairing the formation?

But she was just a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

There were two choices now.

One was to repair it according to her plan and take the opportunity to probe her bottom line.

The other was to delay and intentionally fail.

After a little thought, Li An decided to repair it without showing any signs.

After all, if he chose the second option, Guo Xiaoxiao would be able to tell. During this period, she would occasionally come to check on Li An's progress. With Li An's familiarity with the second-grade inheritance, it would be enough to repair this first-grade high-quality formation.

Exposing oneself to a demonic cultivator meant danger.

And choosing the first option, Guo Xiaoxiao would think that Li An had fallen into her trap, but she didn't know that Li An was well aware of everything. Her plan was useless against Li An, which would give him the upper hand.

In the worst case, he could kill this demonic cultivator first and then leave immediately.

This way, it would be the most secure.

"How about it, Senior Wei, do you have a solution?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

Li An nodded, "If it were before, it would probably take some effort, but now, I am ninety percent confident that I can repair it."

After speaking, he took out a lot of tools on the spot, including brushes, knives, and some jade blocks used to make formations.

The brushes were used to draw the formation patterns, and the knives were used to shape the materials accordingly.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, please protect the formation while I repair it. During the process, I will be fully focused and cannot be distracted."

"Okay!"

Li An immediately started, releasing his divine consciousness. The formation patterns on the plate immediately lit up with a faint white light, indicating that Li An had connected his divine consciousness with the formation.

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes brightened.

Li An's expression became more and more focused, the knives and brushes continuously moving, and the light on the jade plate became brighter.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Li An's face was slightly sweaty.

Guo Xiaoxiao was also watching attentively. Suddenly, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Li An's face.

Li An was completely absorbed, as if he hadn't noticed her.

The light on the jade plate was extremely bright, and it was already at the final stage of repair—

At this moment.

A smile suddenly appeared on Guo Xiaoxiao's lips. A black light instantly lit up on her forehead, and then quickly infiltrated the light on the formation plate.

At the same time, she hugged Li An from behind, opened her jade-like mouth, and bit directly at Li An's neck!

"Ah—"

Li An let out a miserable scream, his brows furrowed. His divine consciousness was invaded by the black light, and the intense pain made his whole body tremble, almost losing his strength.

He was directly pushed down by Guo Xiaoxiao, who then sat on top of him, tightly pressed against his neck, her teeth already piercing his skin.

At this moment, Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to have turned into a blood-sucking zombie.

Li An, however, felt that as she sucked his blood, a strange drug entered his body along with her silver teeth, causing an inexplicable evil fire to erupt within him.

A strange poison!

Li An could neutralize it with his life essence power, but he didn't move, letting it take its course.

Guo Xiaoxiao vigorously shook her waist.

Li An had lost all resistance, except for a certain part of his body going limp, he could only endure her brutality.

And during this process, Li An's resistance with his divine consciousness finally dissipated, and the black light directly infiltrated his forehead.

The black light entered his spiritual sea!

At this moment, Li An inexplicably felt that his divine consciousness and soul had integrated with the black light, and every inch of his flesh and blood had a strange resonance with Guo Xiaoxiao.

In the midst of this resonance and grand chorus of life, flesh and blood merge together. Li An suddenly realizes that there seems to be some faint threads entering his body from the wound she bit open.

And that black light is driving his consciousness, feeling those threads and merging with them.

The eternal connection between Li An and Guo Xiaoxiao is about to be established.

It has come to the final moment!

At this moment, within Li An's dantian, a pure green energy suddenly bursts out from the branch connected to his spiritual platform, injecting into his spiritual platform.

Li An's soul and consciousness, contaminated and occupied by the black light, instantly return to normal. At the same time, the toxins in his body are also dissolved. His veins bulge and he suddenly flips over, pressing Guo Xiaoxiao beneath him.

His consciousness and soul power completely suppress the black light.

A hot stream surges like a volcanic eruption.

His consciousness counterattacks like a sword.

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly trembles, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and fear, she exclaims, "Don't--"

She doesn't understand why Li An, who was clearly under her control and about to be turned into a flesh puppet, can still counterattack?!

How is this possible?!

And what she fears the most...

If Li An gains the upper hand at this critical moment, it means that it won't be Li An who becomes the flesh puppet.

It will be her!

She tries hard to push Li An away, but she feels completely powerless, only able to hoarsely shout, but Li An covers her mouth.

Guo Xiaoxiao convulses and faints.

At this moment, Li An clearly feels a connection.

It has been established!

Li An is covered in sweat, he sits up on a chair. Even though he has already reached the Foundation Building stage, his consciousness has gone through twists and turns, giving him a sense of inexplicable exhaustion.

He pours himself a cup of tea and drinks it.

...

And at this moment.

"Second Senior Brother, Junior Sister still can't quite control these formations. Please give guidance, Second Senior Brother..."

In the hall of a luxurious residence, Xu Qiuhui is holding a blueprint and pointing it out to Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan squints and says, "Junior Sister Qiuhui, actually, it's quite simple. As long as Senior Brother helps you refine a few sub-formations to place in these areas, you won't have to worry at all..."

"But the refining of these sub-formations, Senior Brother will have to take care of it..."

Saying that, he places his hand on Xu Qiuhui's jade hand.

Xu Qiuhui's hand stiffens for a moment, but she immediately withdraws it without showing any emotion, "Please let Senior Brother take care of refining the formations. Xu Qiuhui is willing to purchase them at three times the market price!"

Jiang Huan's smile fades, and he coldly says, "Do you think I lack spirit stones?"

Xu Qiuhui's face turns slightly ugly as she whispers, "Senior Brother, within the sealed area, there are many beautiful female cultivators. In a few days, I will personally select a few who resemble me and send them to you. I trouble Senior Brother with this."

"Heh, Junior Sister seems to despise me..."

Xu Qiuhui grits her teeth, "Senior Brother, this concerns Master's grand plan. Please prioritize the overall situation."

Jiang Huan's expression changes slightly. Xu Qiuhui is using their Master to pressure him...

After all, the eldest senior brother has said before that he should assist Xu Qiuhui more.

"I will certainly prioritize the overall situation."

Jiang Huan sneers, then takes out three formation diagrams, saying, "Here, these are the formation diagrams. You just need to find a second-tier formation master to refine them, and they will have the corresponding effects."

"I still need to adjust the formation I am responsible for, so I can't do it myself... It shouldn't be difficult for Junior Sister Qiuhui to find someone to refine it, right?"

Xu Qiuhui's face remains unpleasant. There are indeed a few second-tier formation masters in the city, but they all have a close relationship with Jiang Huan.

When the time comes, Jiang Huan will give them a heads up, who will she find?

Jiang Huan's actions seem helpful, but in reality, he is not helping at all...

It also prevents the blame from falling on him, only on Xu Qiuhui's incompetence.

After much consideration, Xu Qiuhui shakes her head lightly.

Picking up the formation diagrams, she says, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Then she gets up and leaves.

...

After she leaves.

Jiang Huan squints, "Hehe, you think if you don't offer yourself, I won't have a way?"

"I may not be able to turn you into a puppet, but I can still make use of that formation you are responsible for..."

"Hmm, Xiaoxiao should have succeeded by now..."

...
