Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 93: Strange Couple

After arranging the matter of the "Flesh Puppet," Li An became quite "high-profile" in the city for the next few days.

He purchased many second-tier array formation materials and made a trip to the Treasure Pavilion to sell a low-quality Foundation Building Pill he had on hand.

At the same time, in the distant Zhaojia Town, the sinister talisman master "Li An" appeared and set fire to many industries in Xujia Town, which finally spread.

However, he escaped immediately after the attack without staying.

Not many people paid attention to this news, but Li An believed that Xu Qiuhui would definitely be able to find out.

In the evening of this day, Li An returned from the market and saw a carriage parked outside his residence.

Beside the carriage, a man and a woman were waiting.

Li An was quite surprised because these two people...

They were Chen Qingling and Wang Dazhu!

"Wei Senior, we finally waited for you."

Seeing Li An's arrival, the two of them were overjoyed and respectfully greeted him.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Wang Dazhu had already shown signs of aging, with some gray hair at his temples. After all, he was only one year younger than Li An and was already eighty-five years old this year!

However, he obviously lived a good life and had the demeanor of a wealthy man.

What surprised Li An was that after observing for a while, he found that although Wang Dazhu appeared old on the surface, his vitality and blood were not declining but rather increasing, and they were extremely pure and abundant!

On the other hand, Chen Qingling had a charm and maturity that came with becoming a new mother, resembling a beautiful young wife.

What made Li An even more vigilant was the presence of a... demonic aura on her.

Li An remained calm and asked, "Who are you two?"

Before Wang Dazhu could speak, Chen Qingling introduced herself, "I am Chen Qingling, and this is my husband, Wang Dazhu. He is a second-tier alchemist!"

Li An, upon hearing this, showed a sudden realization expression, "So it's the esteemed couple. I have long heard of your names, long heard of your names!"

"Please, please!"

The three of them entered the residence.

"I wonder why you two have come here?" Li An brewed tea for them and then asked.

Chen Qingling said, "To be honest, we came here... to ask Senior to sell us Foundation Building Pills!"

Li An was surprised.

Chen Qingling continued, "My husband has been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years, just one step away from Foundation Building. The two of us have been desperately seeking this item for many years, but we have never been able to find it. Qingling suspects that Senior must still have some, so we came here presumptuously... and we hope Senior can fulfill our request!"

"We are willing to purchase it at market price. In addition, regardless of whether my husband can successfully achieve Foundation Building in the future, we will also refine a second-tier magic tool for Senior for free!"

"I wonder what Senior thinks?"

Wang Dazhu didn't say anything, but he eagerly watched Li An's expression.

Li An pondered for a moment and said, "How old is Fellow Daoist Wang this year?"

"Eighty-five," Wang Dazhu replied.

Li An smiled and said, "Eighty-five years old... Are you two sure about Foundation Building at this age?"

He could naturally see that Wang Dazhu's current state was quite peculiar. Although he appeared weak, his internal vitality was strong. However, he couldn't figure out the reason behind it, so he deliberately tested him with his words.

After all, for ordinary cultivators, achieving Foundation Building after the age of sixty was extremely difficult.

"I have regrets in this life for not achieving Foundation Building... So, I will give it a try with all my might!" Wang Dazhu sighed and spoke.

Li An nodded without showing any unusual expression. After all, although it was almost impossible for someone of his age to achieve Foundation Building, there were still people who tried.

He began to ponder.

In fact, Xu Qiuhui had mentioned this matter to him before, so he was already prepared.

Initially, he didn't plan to give the Foundation Building Pill to Wang Dazhu.

But at this moment, he had some other thoughts...

Mainly because this couple surprised him.

Wang Dazhu's vitality was inexplicably vigorous.

Could it be that he had some other talent or fortune?

Li An remembered that when Wang Dazhu was in the Xuan Yang Sect, his aptitude was average at first, but his vitality began to change after he came into contact with alchemy...

Was his current vitality the result of that change back then?

And Chen Qingling is even more imbued with demonic energy. He is very familiar with the source of that demonic energy...

Yin Yang Demon Furnace Technique!

If Li An is not mistaken, Chen Qingling has already joined the demonic sect.

And Wang Dazhu probably doesn't know, because he has become Chen Qingling's furnace.

These things naturally cannot escape Li An's notice.

No wonder Chen Qingling, such a scheming and cunning woman, would be so good to Wang Dazhu. Over the years, she has not only helped him take concubines, but also worked hard to find medicine for him...

The stronger Wang Dazhu becomes, the greater the benefits she reaps from her Yin Yang Demon Furnace Technique.

Although Wang Dazhu is exceptionally talented, he is too weak in terms of human nature. One day, it is likely that this woman will devour him completely...

It is not an exaggeration to describe this woman as having a heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion.

Li An has never forgotten the grudge from back then, and now he thinks it wouldn't be difficult to kill Wang Dazhu and his wife.

But Li An's principle of revenge has always been "cultivation comes first, revenge along the way." If the enemy has enough value to be used, it would be a waste to kill them for the sake of temporary satisfaction.

If he were to kill, he would squeeze out every last drop of their usefulness before doing so.

After thinking for a long time, Li An finally nodded. "To be honest, Wei has already sold the Foundation Building Pill in his possession a few days ago through the Treasure Pavilion."

Chen Qingling and Wang Dazhu both showed disappointment on their faces.

"However, I do have a friend who might have..." Li An smiled faintly.

"Could I trouble Senior Wei to inquire?" Chen Qingling asked.

Li An nodded. "Of course. In that case, Wei has a second-grade magical tool that needs to be refined. Fellow Daoist Wang, could you help with the refinement? Wei can also take this opportunity to ask that friend."

Chen Qingling's eyes immediately lit up. She understood that Wei Ming was making a trade, taking advantage first before selling the Foundation Building Pill.

He really is someone who refuses to suffer losses.

But this way, she could also feel at ease.

"Alright!"

They agreed, feeling quite delighted.

"By the way," Li An suddenly said, "Madam Wang, Wei has some knowledge in medicine. It seems that there is something unusual in your meridians..."

Chen Qingling's eyes slightly changed. The poison inflicted by Li An back then had never been resolved. It was only delayed with the help of the people from the demonic sect. But the poison had recently invaded her meridians.

She had never told anyone about this, not even Wang Dazhu.

When Wei Ming mentioned it now, her heart pounded, but she remained calm and smiled. "Senior Wei has sharp eyes. Qingling has been pregnant for three months."

Li An seemed to show a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Wang Dazhu, on the other hand, was overjoyed and said, "Madam, you're pregnant again?!"

"That's great! I'll have another chubby little boy!"

He was very happy and excited.

"Look at you!" Chen Qingling gave him a glare, then stood up and said, "Since that's the case, we won't delay Senior Wei's cultivation. May I ask what item Senior Wei wants to refine?"

Li An didn't say much, but took out some materials such as cloud silk. "Wei hopes to refine a pair of second-grade boots that can increase speed."

Some of these materials came from his past accumulation, while others were recently purchased.

"Alright, in half a month... no, in half a month, I will definitely present the required item to Senior Wei!" Wang Dazhu took the materials with great confidence.

"Thank you, Senior Wei. In half a month, Qingling will come to pay respects to Senior Wei again. I hope to trouble Senior Wei more then." Her eyes conveyed her meaning.

They bid farewell and left.

...

And in the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Half a month later, Li An's door was knocked again.

But this time, only she came!

...
