Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 388 - 247: A Chance for Revenge (Long - ) Part 3
The two Nascent Soul level forces of the Primordial Spirit Realm were attacked, and even two Nascent Souls were killed!
For a while, many major forces were panicking.
"The New Dao Alliance is currently assembling troops to encircle and suppress the evil cultivators. A great war is expected to break out soon, so there’s been a huge demand for talismans, arrays, pills, and so on in the market recently. However, I’ve already stopped the sales. Disciple thinks we should also prepare. What do you think, Master?"
Li Shuangshuang asked.
Li An pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No, sell everything except for the basic stock!"
"Raise the prices a bit and have everyone work hard to create magical artifacts! Every bit of profit counts!"
Li Shuangshuang was shocked. How could this be?
But she didn’t doubt Li An’s decision and immediately said, "Disciple obeys!"
She left.
Li An was left pondering.
As of now, the New Dao Alliance’s assessment of this evil cultivator force... is completely wrong!
Gao Tai had been cultivating evil skills fifty years ago, which means that the Evil King’s faction has been in the New Continent for at least fifty years. The Evil King is a great demon who dares to contend with the Daoist sect, with powerful figures like Evil Fourteen and Zhan Qingxuan under his command. In a place like the New Continent with no opponents, their development must be incredibly rapid!
The New Dao Alliance is not facing a small evil cultivator force at all, but a giant whose depths are unknown.
The New Dao Alliance will definitely lose!
So, why prepare for self-defense? It’s not necessary at all. Facing the Evil King’s force, running away is the best option.
While it’s still possible to earn, earn as many spirit stones as possible, and then when the war breaks out... retreat and talk later.
Even though he is a Nascent Soul and already a great cultivator, Li An knows very well that to top demons like the Evil King and Evil Fourteen, Nascent Souls are no different from ants.
Even without those people taking action, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator like Zhan Qingxuan appearing could turn the New Continent upside down!
Fifty years of peaceful life have not made Li An lose his vigilance.
"Besides Evil Spirit Lake, we also need to prepare other cultivation grounds..."
Since there’s the intention to escape, it’s crucial to choose a good escape location in advance to avoid being caught off guard.
...
"Jiang Clan from Ningzhou, here to visit fellow Daoist Gu－－"
The next day, a voice came from outside.
The visitors were surprisingly Shee Anqi and her husband!
Over the past fifty years, Li An has become well-aware of the forces in the Primordial Spirit Realm. Shee Anqi married into the Nascent Soul Clan of Ningzhou, South Peak Continent--the Jiang Clan.
He had also heard about the fate of Shee Anqi, an old acquaintance. After the Emperor Origin Realm ascended to become part of the New Continent, there were too few Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were invaded and plundered by other large realms. The Shee sisters were besieged, Shee Anrong had died, and Shee Anqi barely escaped, rescued by Jiang Shangfeng, a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Jiang Clan, which led to their marriage.
"Daoist Jiang, Daoist Shee, welcome to my humble abode. Sorry for not coming out to greet you from afar－－"
Li An smiled as he welcomed them to Lake Heart Island.
After some polite exchanges, Jiang Shangfeng stated his purpose, "Fellow Daoist Gu, we are here hoping you could help us craft some arrays."
Immediately, he explained their needs one by one.
After listening, Li An was somewhat surprised. The four arrays Jiang Shangfeng wanted were all, without exception, for subduing evil!
Moreover, the difficulty was very high, almost approaching Rank Five arrays.
Seeing his difficulty, Jiang Shangfeng continued, "I know these arrays are tough... but as long as you can make them, our Jiang Clan is willing to pay twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones!"
Li An’s heart skipped a beat, twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones!
This is truly a huge sum!
It should be understood that the entire income of Evil Spirit Lake is only about one thousand top-grade spirit stones each year, and along with the annual tribute from Ji Country which adds five hundred spirit stones, it’s only fifteen hundred in total.
While it’s enough for his basic cultivation, it’s still tight for purchasing spirit medicine, magical artifacts, etc.
"But this is really too difficult..."
Li An sighed, "With my capability, I’m afraid I can’t do it. Please seek someone more capable－－"
Jiang Shangfeng said, "Brother Gu, your great array of Evil Spirit Lake is already a top-grade Rank Four array. With the ability to create such an array, I think you should be able to craft what we need... please help us, brother Gu. If necessary... our Jiang Clan is willing to pay thirty thousand spirit stones, how about that?"
He was truly gritting his teeth and offering a huge sum.
Thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones... even though the Jiang Clan is a long-established Nascent Soul force, their reserves were nearly depleted.
But he knew these four arrays were essential, as they affected the rise and fall of the entire Jiang Clan’s future!
Moreover, before coming to Evil Spirit Lake, he had searched everywhere but no one could craft them.
Thirty thousand...
The difficult expression on Li An’s face did not diminish, he could only sigh, "Alright, I’ll give it a try... but when do you need them by?"
"The sooner, the better, preferably within ten years!"
He knew how difficult these four arrays were, so he didn’t set a strict deadline.
Li An pondered and nodded, "Okay, I’ll do my best－－"
Seeing him agree, both Jiang Shangfeng and Shee Anqi were overjoyed, and Jiang Shangfeng immediately handed Li An a high-grade storage bag, saying, "Brother Gu, this is the deposit!"
With a sweep of his divine sense, Li An instantly knew it contained five thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Not considered stingy.
"Brother Gu, one more request, if you’d allow me to discuss with you..."
Shee Anqi continued, "I would like to purchase some spiritual blood of the Cloud-Striking Eagle, would that be possible?"
Hope shone in her eyes.
Li An frowned and said outright, "No."
"We are willing to offer a generous reward..." Jiang Shangfeng replied.
