Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 420 - 255: Entering the Game (Extended - ) (3)
"My soul’s mysterious rebirth and departure from the secret realm certainly wasn’t by chance; it must be the work of this being..."
Li An carefully thought, considering everything from his last life entering this secret realm to his rebirth and arriving at this day, perhaps none of it was random.
"Which means, my only hope for survival is actually this being!"
It felt like finding a faint glimmer of light in the darkness.
"When we entered the secret realm back then, the Jade Parrot was already there. It might be observing our every move, yet it hasn’t discovered that I’ve acquired the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, even today it remains unaware... This indicates that this being intentionally hid it from the Jade Parrot."
"Moreover, this being should be hostile to the Jade Parrot."
Li An analyzed carefully.
The cause and effect of all his circumstances stem from this...
"Even if this being isn’t dead, it should be very weak. Otherwise, there’s no need for such lengths to conceal and impart the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill to me, then let me leave. It was more like sowing the last seeds of hope..."
"Therefore, if I must enter the secret realm, the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill is my greatest reliance. Using it to find this being might still give me a chance for a comeback?"
These deductions, Li An deliberated on them carefully, feeling there was no mistake.
It should be like this.
However, for him...
It’s still a risky gamble!
Who knows what dangers lie along the way to the secret realm?
Who knows if the being who gave him the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill is still alive?
Moreover, who knows whether this being is kind or evil, whether giving Li An the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill is good or bad?
It’s all unpredictable.
If there were a choice, Li An would definitely refuse to go.
But now, the arrow is on the bowstring!
Whether he wants to or not, he can only take the gamble.
Li An took a deep breath, and immediately released the puppet Gao Tai, then performed the Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill.
For without it, if he truly dies, the Primordial Spirit left in Gao Tai’s body can start anew!
That is his greatest assurance!
Whether he gambles on life and death or fights for an opportunity, he must ensure his survival!
At the same time, he left behind a batch of resources, including ten thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones, ten Fourth Grade herbs, all of the Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine, etc., all entrusted to Gao Tai.
Over the two hundred years, aside from Warm Rock Peak, Li An also found some hidden shelters, so when his main body leaves here, puppet Gao Tai can carry these items away.
To ensure absolute safety!
This was all Li An could do.
Additionally, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow Yun Qian’s advice and place the Jade Talisman she gave him into the Purple Mansion.
Perhaps, at a critical moment, it might really save his life?
In front of the common enemy that is the Jade Parrot, in some sense, the Dao Sect shares the same battlefront with him.
...
Li An began Alchemy.
With Fifth Grade main herbs, plus Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s assistance, Li An actually had some probability of crafting a Fifth Grade Purifying Evil Pill.
He exerted his utmost effort and also drew some power from the Jade Talisman left by Yun Qian. The final Pill he crafted was only Fourth Grade but was incredibly close to Fifth Grade.
This was his displayed limit.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed again.
On this day, outside the cave dwelling, Qi Chuanyue’s voice echoed.
"Is Master Zhu here?"
Li An’s heart suddenly tightened, but he showed no signs and walked out of the dwelling to welcome Qi Chuanyue in.
"Qi, my friend, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time—"
Li An smiled and said, "The Pill you wanted was crafted a month ago."
"Have a look—"
Li An handed a jade bottle to Qi Chuanyue, who opened and inspected it, took a sniff, and immediately praised without end, "Master Zhu deserves being the Primordial Spirit Realm’s number one Alchemy Grandmaster, such a Pill exceeds my expectations!"
With that, he directly handed Li An several Fourth Grade Pill herbs, saying, "I have a shortage of Spirit Stones, so I’ll use these eleven Fourth Grade Spirit Medicine as compensation, would that be alright?"
Li An accepted respectfully, "Of course it’s acceptable—"
"By the way, Daoist Qi, seeing that you’re crafting a Purifying Evil Pill, if I’m not mistaken, you should be heading to some place filled with malign forces where toxins commonly proliferate, shouldn’t you also consider buying an Antitoxic Pill?"
Qi Chuanyue laughed, "Master Zhu, your business acumen is indeed remarkable... Honestly, I do have a thought."
He approached mysteriously, "The place I’m headed is a site of blessed origins, containing immense opportunity, yet blocked by malevolent forces. Master Zhu, would you be willing to accompany me?"
"If successful, I am willing to offer a Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine as reward!"
Li An’s face immediately showed excitement, "Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine? Are you serious?"
"Absolutely..."
Qi Chuanyue said leisurely, "If you’re willing, shall we depart today then?"
Li An pondered briefly, then replied, "Alright!"
Immediately, he packed his things and set off with Qi Chuanyue.
The two traveled swiftly together, yet Li An became increasingly wary, mainly because Qi Chuanyue proactively invited him?
Though he intended to journey with Qi Chuanyue, the latter’s active invitation meant...
Qi Chuanyue planned on him from the start!
Not a friendly approach...
...
And long after Li An and Qi Chuanyue left.
From Warm Rock Peak, puppet Gao Tai quietly slipped away through an underground passage that Li An had already dug and hidden with an Array...
...
Seven days later.
Li An and Qi Chuanyue arrived at another larger realm, "Azure Dragon Realm"!
