Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 123: Slaying Demons

"Please come in."

A clear and elegant voice could be heard, and the waiter opened the door. Li An immediately walked in, carrying the elixir.

In the elegant private room, two women were sitting together. Under the dim lights, they both looked radiant.

One of them was wearing a white long dress, with the dress loosely draped. Her snow-white long legs were casually crossed, exuding a powerful and dignified aura that belonged to a strong individual.

She should be the White Tiger True Immortal, a powerful cultivator at the Gold Core stage.

In terms of lifespan, she was at least a few hundred years old, but she looked like a charming woman in her thirties, full of charm and confidence.

The other person was a cold and quiet young girl. Her complexion seemed unnaturally pale, and she was wearing a simple plain dress, giving off an air of elegance and tranquility, like a delicate flower in the wind.

But Li An understood that anyone who could sit with the White Tiger True Immortal was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Please take a look, True Immortal," Li An stepped forward and placed the elixir in front of the White Tiger True Immortal.

In that moment, he casually activated the Life-Nurturing and Immortal-Casting Technique.

But he didn't use his divine sense, because it couldn't be hidden in front of such a powerful cultivator.

The Life-Nurturing and Immortal-Casting Technique could only sense the other person's life state, which was imperceptible.

However, this momentary sensing surprised Li An.

The young girl seemed weak and sickly, but her life force was unexpectedly strong. On the other hand, the life force of the White Tiger True Immortal... was not as vigorous as that of a Gold Core cultivator.

What's going on?

"It is indeed Gold Core, but it's a problematic Gold Core," Li An immediately got the answer.

Gold Cores that are refined at a later stage are prone to problems.

If the Gold Core is formed at the beginning of the Foundation Establishment stage, the quality would be much better.

"It is indeed a fourth-grade elixir," the White Tiger True Immortal uncovered the dust cover and glanced at the fourth-grade elixir on the tray, then smiled gracefully. "With this, Nascent Soul is within reach."

"Thank you, Second Seat," she glanced at Li An.

Li An inexplicably felt as if he was being watched, but he remained composed. "It's my duty, True Immortal. Is there anything else you need? The Treasure Pavilion will do its best to fulfill your requests."

Although he said that, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Nascent Soul within reach? What a joke!

The current state of the White Tiger True Immortal was not even stable enough for Gold Core, let alone attempting to break through to Nascent Soul.

"No need, thank you," the White Tiger True Immortal calmly spoke, and after that, she and the frail young girl left.

...

The auction was over, and Gu Cai'er and the others were preparing to return to the Tianyang City Lord's Mansion.

"Master Li," when they were parting ways, Gu Cai'er found Li An and said, "The Lord has replied. She said that if Master Li really wants to stay in the White Tiger City, the mansion will not force you. You can serve as a sub-mansion master here."

"As long as Master Li can focus on your work, it doesn't matter where you are," she added.

"She also hopes that Master Li can settle down here," the emphasis on settling down was slightly heavier.

Qin Xuan agreed.

Obviously, Li An's letter, expressing his willingness to stay in a remote place, dispelled her intention to kill him.

One of the main reasons was that Gu Cai'er failed to kill Li An and was instead defeated by him. She already knew that it would be very difficult to make another move against Li An.

She could only compromise like this.

"Please rest assured, Lord. I, Li An, will stay here," the group left.

Just as Gu Cai'er and the others were leaving the White Tiger City.

Boom!

From the direction of Baihu Mountain, a golden light suddenly burst forth, quickly covering the entire Baihu City, illuminating every street and alley.

As soon as this golden light appeared, Li An immediately felt the demonic energy within him stir!

This is... a formation to detect demonic cultivators?

Moreover, its level is very high, reaching the level of a third-tier formation!

Li An's expression slightly changed, immediately activating his life seed to suppress the fluctuation of demonic energy.

Meanwhile, on the streets, there were continuous cries of despair.

"Ah--"

"No!"

Many demonic cultivators were discovered and directly killed by the formation.

"The Demon-Slaying Formation has been activated. From this day forward, any demonic cultivator who enters the city will be killed!"

A voice from the direction of Baihu Mountain echoed from afar, and the entire Baihu City heard it.

For a moment, the city was filled with jubilation.

"Great!"

"With this, Baihu City can finally enjoy long-lasting peace!"

"From now on, Baihu City will be an impenetrable barrier for demonic cultivators!"

Everyone was very happy.

Even Li An couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes!

He had already guessed the intention behind Baihu Zhenren's actions.

She must have obtained a fourth-grade spiritual medicine and was most likely going to consolidate her Gold Core cultivation.

And this process was crucial, absolutely not to be disturbed by the demonic sect.

So, it seemed that they were going all out to deter the demonic sect.

With a third-tier formation protecting them, coupled with Baihu Zhenren's senior disciple Mo Xuan, who successfully formed his Nascent Soul several years ago and became a true Nascent Soul expert, even if Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic sect were to come, it would be useless.

"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice..."

Li An couldn't help but laugh.

The plan from the Wang Family was most likely to use this spiritual medicine as bait to lure Baihu Zhenren. If Baihu Zhenren really wanted to prepare for her Nascent Soul, she would definitely go to Tianyang City.

At that time, the demonic sect would have an opportunity.

But who would have thought that she would eat the bait and not take the bait...

"Baihu Zhenren knows the demonic sect too well..."

This point caught his attention.

When Baihu Zhenren changed her Gold Core, the demonic sect paid a heavy price.

It could be said that before that, the demonic sect supported by the Wang Family was invincible, even major sects like Xunyang Sect suffered losses at their hands.

Now, the Demon-Slaying Formation displayed by Baihu Mountain was even more targeted...

If she didn't have an understanding of the demonic sect's techniques, it would be impossible to create such a formation.

Could it be that Baihu Zhenren and the demonic sect have some unimaginable collusion?

However, he currently didn't have the ability to verify these things.

There was no need to rush either.

At least, for him, this was also a great thing.

Now that Baihu Zhenren had done this... it created space for him!

He had been quite worried that after arriving in Baihu City, he would be under the surveillance of the Third Princess.

But now, all the demonic cultivators in the city had been killed, so Li An was safe within the city!

Could there be spies who were not demonic cultivators but were still under the command of the Third Princess to monitor Li An?

Li An judged that it was unlikely!

Because the Third Princess's identity as a demonic cultivator was extremely confidential. Even in regards to Li An's matter, she had even hidden it from her own father, which showed that she had very few people she could trust. The forces she controlled within the demonic sect would not be too significant.

If they were not trusted demonic cultivators, she would not use them.

She wouldn't trust anyone else, let alone someone who wasn't even a demonic cultivator. Why would they be involved in such matters?

The current environment...

Was safe.

As long as he didn't leave Baihu City, everything he did within the city would not be monitored by the demonic sect.

At least, that was the case until Baihu Zhenren closed the formation.

And consolidating the Gold Core was not something that could be done overnight. The formation should last for several years...

During this time, he must seize the opportunity!

Prepare resources, accelerate cultivation speed...
