Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

The only pity was that he hadn't gotten on the cart yet!

But that was normal; he naturally knew his place.

Putting aside everything else, with just his status as a menial worker for Alchemist Mo, Yan Kongyi would definitely suspect him of being in cahoots with Alchemist Mo.

He didn't harbor any resentment about this.

Moreover, he had clearly seen the guilt in Yan Qingwan's eyes as she was about to disappear.

"Oh dear! This is really going to alarm the Yan family's old ancestor," Alchemist Mo lamented, beating his chest.

Then, losing all interest in Li Ji'an, he rushed outside.

Only leaving behind the words: "I'm going to notify Wei Family Head; you hurry up and deal with this person!"

The beastmaster who controlled spirit beasts frowned slightly, glanced at Li Ji'an, who was still slumped on the ground, and didn't pay much attention.

"Boom~" Not long after, a sudden explosion came from outside.

"The Wei family is really bold enough to do this? What does the Wei family think of my Yan family?" At the same time, a low, aged voice rang out, the tone calm and even gentle, but it couldn't hide the anger within.

"How's the progress? I can only hold them off for another ten breaths!" As the Yan family's Foundation Establishment old ancestor made his move, Wei Huairen's anxious voice came in.

Upon hearing this, the beastmaster's mind immediately became flustered.

He immediately urged the frog anxiously.

"Ribbit~" The frog croaked laboriously, having only swallowed thirty percent of the medicinal field in front of it.

"Boom~" Another loud noise came from outside.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go!" The beastmaster couldn't withstand the pressure any longer and stopped the frog from swallowing the medicinal garden.

The frog immediately closed its mouth, feeling much lighter.

However, before the frog could breathe a sigh of relief, the beastmaster pointed at Li Ji'an on the ground again: "Swallow him!"

"Ribbit, ribbit~" The frog immediately took two steps back, its copper bell-like eyes showing quite a bit of resistance, especially after seeing Li Ji'an also looking at it, it closed its mouth even tighter.

"Hmm? You beast! You're asking for trouble." The beastmaster snorted coldly and immediately took out his beast-controlling pouch, reaching out to touch the beast soul stone embedded in it.

"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit~" The frog instantly became extremely pained.

"Retreat!" Just then, another urging voice came from outside.

Clearly, the Yan family's Foundation Establishment old ancestor had some hidden trump cards that exceeded Wei Huairen's and the others' expectations.

"Waste!" The beastmaster cursed angrily, no longer controlling the frog. He slapped the spirit beast pouch and put it away. While running outside, he casually flung a wind blade towards Li Ji'an.

"Swoosh~" Just as the wind blade was about to slash his body, Li Ji'an, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly moved.

While avoiding the wind blade, he arrived behind the beastmaster and punched out without hesitation.

"Peng~" The beastmaster, who hadn't even released his magic power shield, instantly had his chest explode. He didn't even react before he died.

"Fellow Daoist Liang, retreat quickly… You! How dare you!" Just as the beastmaster's chest exploded, the three people outside the cave rapidly retreated, just in time to see this scene.

Apart from the black-robed man whose face couldn't be seen, the other two, especially Alchemist Mo, were dumbfounded by this scene.

"Go!" Wei Huairen gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to delay. He glared at Li Ji'an fiercely, then crushed the teleportation talisman in his hand.

The three figures then became blurred and eventually disappeared without a trace.

"Hmph! Trying to run?" The next moment, a powerful pressure rushed into the cave, and at the same time, a fire dragon exploded where the three disappeared.

Then, without a moment's pause, he transformed into a ball of fire and chased after them again.

At the same time, more Yan family members poured into the cave from outside.

Li Ji'an glanced at the beastmaster's corpse. A storage bag and a beast-controlling pouch were right at his feet, but he ultimately shook his head and gave up.

The Yan family's key medicinal garden had lost thirty percent; they would definitely not let him off easily.

However, his final strike to kill the beastmaster could be considered a great contribution to the Yan family. Now that he didn't need to hide it from Alchemist Mo, he shouldn't be shortchanged.

In the years of fighting between the Wei and Yan families, in order to recruit outsiders to support them, they often spent generously to attract talent, let alone this genuine great achievement.

"Alchemist Mo… I will definitely fulfill your wish in the next life!"

Looking in the direction where Alchemist Mo and the others had left, he wrote down today's events in his little notebook, dispelling the negative emotions so that they wouldn't affect his state of mind.

He would remember what needed to be done and do it when he had complete certainty, without letting it affect him.

Admittedly, with his current body cultivation strength, if he was determined to hunt down Alchemist Mo, he had an eighty percent chance of success.

But, in the end, it wasn't a hundred percent.

He had "Rejuvenation," he had a next life. Unless it was an unavoidable situation, he wasn't willing or worth it to be brave and fight.

He preferred a steady crushing victory.

He preferred bullying the elderly in their prime.

Even dancing on their graves was acceptable.

Not long after, the Yan family's old ancestor returned empty-handed.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Yan Kongyi and Yan Qingwan were also brought back.

Apart from revealing his first-order late-stage body cultivation strength when he killed the beastmaster, Li Ji'an truthfully described the details after Yan Kongyi and Yan Qingwan escaped through his natal teleportation talisman.

"Li Changan, you have made another great contribution!" After confirming that Li Ji'an was not lying, the Yan family's old ancestor affirmed his actions.

Then the frog was released and spat out the medicinal field it had swallowed.

After checking the beastmaster's storage bag and spirit beast pouch and confirming that there was nothing particularly valuable, the Yan family's old ancestor threw them all to Li Ji'an: "You killed this person, so the spoils of war should naturally belong to you. Don't worry, the rewards for your two contributions are unrelated to this."

"Old Ancestor, it's not two times. If it weren't for Li Changan, my alchemy skills wouldn't have progressed this far, especially now that the old thief Mo has escaped. If it weren't for Li Changan's assistance over the years, I wouldn't be able to take on the responsibility of the elixir shop!" Yan Qingwan added from the side.

She felt somewhat guilty.

At that moment, she really thought it would be farewell forever.

And the promise to protect her descendants would never be fulfilled.

However, she never expected that his first-order primary body cultivation strength would become the final key.

If it weren't for his final action, the Yan family's secret medicinal garden would have lost thirty percent.

"Not bad! He should be heavily rewarded! Wait for Zongsheng to return, you guys decide on the rewards." The old ancestor finally set the tone.

Yan Zongsheng was Yan Qingwan's father and the current head of the Yan family.

After this incident, Li Ji'an completely gained a foothold in the Yan family.

His status also changed from a former menial worker of Alchemist Mo to Yan Qingwan's partner.

In order to fill the void left by Alchemist Mo's departure, Yan Qingwan spent even more time and effort studying alchemy for a long time afterward, and also began to refine some necessary elixirs for the family.

To this end, the family also spent a lot of money to purchase many elixir recipes from outside.

And these elixir recipes also became Li Ji'an's database for studying and understanding the Dao of Alchemy.

Two years passed quickly…

"Ribbit~" On this day, Li Ji'an had just returned from the Yan family's elixir room when the millstone-sized frog poked its head out of the pond in the small courtyard and croaked.

Two years ago, after the Yan family's old ancestor gave him the spirit beast pouch, he had specially studied the beast-controlling path of this cultivation world.

Using the beast soul stone to imprint the spirit beast's divine soul, as long as you master the spirit beast pouch embedded with the beast soul stone, you can control the spirit beast.

However, in the beast-controlling path, control is not the key; the key lies in nurturing and stimulating its potential.

And as his understanding of the beast-controlling path deepened, he had new ideas about his "Rejuvenation." If successful, the safety of his childhood would be greatly increased!
