Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman
Chapter 143 Forced To Die
Chapter 143: Forced into a Dead End
The owner of the mysterious demonic aura, why would they appear at this time?
Moreover, they even brought a third-grade Elemental Spirit Pill?
What does this mean?
Li An had many questions in his mind, but he remained calm and carefully observed the old man, then casually closed the door.
"Fellow Daoist, do you have any treasures that need to be appraised in my pavilion?" Li An sat down and asked with a smile.
The elderly man sighed deeply and said, "This item is something I have pursued my whole life. Unfortunately, by the time I obtained it, I was already old and had no hope of becoming an immortal..."
As he spoke, he took out a box and handed it to Li An.
Li An received it solemnly and gently opened it.
An aroma of medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
At the same time, a mysterious demonic aura on the box instantly entered Li An's dantian through his hand!
"Again?!" Li An's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn...
Is this bird demon cultivator going too far?
Li An wanted to curse directly. His killing intent surged at this moment.
He was about to explode!
If nothing unexpected happened, the demonic aura in his body would be completely refined in a few more years.
By then, he would be able to escape silently without being tracked by his enemies.
Then he could find an opportunity to return to Baihu City and obtain the top-grade Elemental Spirit Pill...
Then everything would be smooth sailing, and he could soar freely from then on.
But now, this damn demon cultivator had come to replenish his demonic aura at this time?
...You really know how to pick your timing!!
Even though Li An had always had a good temperament and remained calm, his hand couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment.
But he quickly reacted.
No, he couldn't show any expression!
The more the other party was not human, the more he had to stay steady and composed.
Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
At this moment, his thoughts were racing.
His divine sense was getting stronger, and his cultivation level was also much higher than before. Therefore, he could barely resist the intrusion of this demonic aura.
But a thought flashed through his mind, and he did nothing!
A hint of shock and eagerness appeared in his eyes, and he immediately closed the box.
He looked at the old man and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to auction this item in my pavilion?"
His breathing became slightly rapid, as if he was deeply attracted by the contents of the box.
"I didn't want to sell it originally, but keeping this thing in my hands will only bring disaster..." The old man sighed deeply. "Instead of guarding a treasure that cannot be obtained, living in constant fear, it's better to exchange it for a life of wealth and glory, or even establish a Foundation Building family..."
Li An nodded repeatedly. "Fellow Daoist, you're absolutely right!"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "But Fellow Daoist, I don't recommend you auctioning this item."
"Oh? Why?" the old man asked.
Li An said, "Because no one dares to buy it!"
"Think about it, in the Foundation Building families of the vast Northern Territory, which family has the financial resources to buy it?"
"Furthermore, the major Nascent Soul forces, Baihu City, Sword Sect, Beast Sect, how can they sit idly by when a Foundation Building cultivator appears in their midst?"
"After the news of this item spreads, it will only lead to a struggle among the major Nascent Soul forces."
"But by then... not to mention you, Fellow Daoist, even our Treasure Pavilion might not have a say..."
Li An's face appeared extremely sincere, as if he was desperately trying to keep this pill.
He pretended not to notice anything and showed it to the person in front of him.
After all, if Li An wasn't moved by the opportunity to reach Foundation Building, it would be suspicious.
"Well... Chief, what's your suggestion?" The old man hesitated.
"A single Elemental Spirit Pill can be sold for about 150,000 spirit stones, and it's impossible to find one even if you beg."
"In that case, if Fellow Daoist trusts me, I can help you contact a buyer and directly purchase it at a price higher than the market value. How about that?"
The old man immediately looked wary and said, "Let me think about it."
Li An's eyes still showed a hint of unwillingness, but he could only say, "I'll think about it."
"Very well, Fellow Daoist, you can take your time to think. This is my token. You can hold onto it and come see me anytime."
"Also, please do not reveal the information about this thing, Fellow Daoist, as it may bring great calamity upon you."
The old man left with the Yuan Ling Pill.
Li An closed the door, sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and immediately sensed the situation in his dantian. His fists clenched tightly in an instant!
His eyes were somewhat red.
Anger.
Now, the quantity of the mysterious demonic energy has increased again.
It will take several decades to completely refine it.
Is it not over yet?!
He seemed to be directly forced into a dead end.
Li An took a deep breath, suppressing the panic and anger in his heart, and calmly contemplated.
"I should have anticipated this. Those who can set up such a situation would never allow me to develop freely..."
"The more critical the situation, the more the other party will value it. Therefore, even if I show a little abnormality, the other party will add another layer of demonic energy. This is the most stable approach."
"Escape... there's no chance!"
His brows furrowed.
"While adding demonic energy to me, they also sent the Yuan Ling Pill. It seems they can't wait any longer..."
Li An could roughly guess the other party's intentions.
The owner of this mysterious demonic energy was also becoming anxious.
So, they directly placed the Yuan Ling Pill in front of Li An, deliberately letting him take it.
Of course, in order to prevent Li An from noticing anything unusual, the other party would definitely put on a performance before letting Li An take it.
But the final outcome was already determined.
"Can't escape... can only face it head-on?"
Li An pondered.
"No, the risk is too high..."
He shook his head, denying this idea.
He still couldn't determine the cultivation level of the owner of this mysterious demonic energy.
Foundation Building stage?
What if it's higher?
Even if the other party is only at the Foundation Building stage, he would exhaust all his efforts and still be unable to deal with it.
As someone who had reached the Foundation Building stage in his previous life, he was well aware of this.
"Perhaps there is another way."
A thought suddenly flashed through Li An's mind...
The Yuan Ling Hong Lu technique!
One of the three major techniques of the demonic sect, generally requiring the Foundation Building stage to be able to use it.
It can separate a strand of the Yuan Ling and possess someone, turning them into a clone of oneself.
If someone at the Foundation Building stage, like Xu Qiuhui, were to do it, they could abandon their own body and possess someone else.
If he abandoned his current body, the demonic energy would naturally remain in this body, and Li An's Yuan Ling could be free to cultivate again.
With the Cultivation Technique for Life Preservation and the top-grade Yuan Ling Pill hidden in Baihu City, this path was not impossible to take...
It's just that the price to be paid would be too great.
"Prepare for both options..."
Li An pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
First, start cultivating the Yuan Ling Hong Lu technique and prepare to possess someone else.
Second, devote all his efforts to refining the demonic energy while observing the situation.
When he returned home that night...
Li An immediately began cultivating the Yuan Ling Hong Lu technique.
Before this, he had never even looked at this technique.
Firstly, he was not interested in the techniques of the demonic sect. With the Cultivation Technique for Life Preservation, he could slowly cultivate without needing to rush, only seeking stability.
Secondly, he couldn't use the Yuan Ling Hong Lu technique at the moment, at least not until the Foundation Building stage.
Now, in order to prepare for another way out, he had no choice but to start cultivating it...
The Yuan Ling Hong Lu technique circulated within his body.
Boom!
Suddenly, a slight sound came from within his body. In his dantian, after the first strand of Yuan Ling demonic energy appeared, it actually triggered a resonance with the Blood Flesh demonic energy and Yin Yang demonic energy...
The three major demonic energies, at this moment, seemed to have a feeling of merging into one!
Li An was slightly surprised. These three major techniques actually had such changes?
...
