Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 274 - 204: Gu Hong’s Fiancé? (Part 2)

Li An said, "So, the threat of the Celestial Killer Mountain lies in the Evil Qi."

"Subordinate thinks, when the people from the Immortal Talent Hall arrive, it might be better to..."

He laid out the plan one by one.

General Jia Man nodded and said, "Good, let’s do it this way."

"Thank you, my lord! I will take my leave."

Li An immediately prepared to leave.

"Mountain Master Lin,"

General Jia Man suddenly called out to him again, seemingly to comfort Li An, and laughed, "There’s no need to put in so much effort, if the enemy is truly too strong, just go directly into the Demon Realm, you made great contributions last time, I will take you with me when we retreat."

Li An said, "We are tasked with defending the Celestial Killer Mountain, it’s our duty, besides, with the Demon Queen about to ascend, abandoning the Celestial Killer Mountain now might cost you and me our lives..."

He detected the weakness in Jia Man’s words, it seemed like he wanted to give up the Celestial Killer Mountain?

So, he reminded Jia Man... whether it had any effect or not, he put in the last bit of effort.

Jia Man nodded and said, "Mountain Master Lin is right."

Li An left.

Jia Man, however, was deep in thought, frowning.

He understood Li An’s implication.

Li An didn’t want to leave the Celestial Killer Mountain!

This was troubling...

"No, we must report to the Demon Realm immediately..."

Otherwise, if the Great Li really attacks, whether he can protect Lin An is another matter...

...

Although the plan was set, in the following days, Li An continued to carefully scout the route, studying the map in various ways.

Prepare the escape plan!

To this end, he even pre-arranged arrays on two routes to use when escaping.

Consider defeat before victory.

...

On the third day, Lihua appeared again.

"Are the map and the corpse ready?"

Li An nodded and immediately handed a storage bag to Lihua.

Inside the storage bag was a Jade Talisman and a Nascent Soul level corpse.

The Jade Talisman contained the map of the entire mountain range, but Li An had altered all the key areas!

If the Great Li really attacked, this map would not only be useless but misleading.

Lihua carefully checked a part of it, and it matched what Zhao Changkong had given them!

It seems Li An didn’t deceive her.

Last time she told Li An that Zhao Changkong had given them a map to ensure Li An wouldn’t try any tricks, they could verify it.

But they didn’t know that Li An had searched Zhao Changkong’s memory and could naturally avoid that part.

Additionally, the Nascent Soul level corpse was also without problems.

Lihua immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Li An, "Four Rank Four Creation Jades, four portions!"

Li An accepted the storage bag, overjoyed in his heart.

He didn’t expect that for one map, the Taiyi Sect would really exchange it for two portions of Rank Four Creation Jade, which was a huge profit.

After all, the two items he gave Lihua actually had no value.

The map being fake aside, the Nascent Soul level corpse was also artificially made, just using the aura of an Evil Crystal as a disguise, which couldn’t be detected; although useful, it was far from a real Nascent Soul corpse.

"Additionally, we want to make another trade with you."

Lihua slowly said, "To act as our inside agent, and cooperate with our Taiyi Sect."

Initially, it was just business, then they wanted Li An to provide a map, now they want him as an undercover agent.

The Taiyi Sect’s attempts to subvert, testing step by step.

Li An smiled and said, "What do you plan to offer in exchange for this?"

"The main ingredient for the Nascent Soul Pill—the Three Souls and Seven Spirits Herbs."

Three Souls and Seven Spirits Herbs!

The Three Souls and Seven Spirits Herbs are extremely crucial, one might say that other ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill can all be substituted, but this one is indispensable.

It is the core of the core!

Without this herb, there’s no talking about a Nascent Soul Pill.

This kind of thing is a true Nascent Soul level opportunity, usually extremely hard to find, all controlled by major powers.

"Additionally, the Taiyi Sect can promise you, once the Celestial Killer Mountain is conquered, you may enter the Taiyi Sect as a Supreme Honored Guest Elder, and we can also concoct pills for you!"

Li An pondered for a moment and suddenly understood why the Taiyi Sect was so generous to him.

After buying off Li An and capturing the Celestial Killer Mountain, the Taiyi Sect would profit even more!

Moreover, for the high-level people of the Taiyi Sect, the treasures given to Li An now, once the Celestial Killer Mountain is taken, the Taiyi Sect can easily reclaim them, they are just "stored" with Li An temporarily!

Li An’s heart was clear, and eventually nodded and said, "Alright."

"When do you plan to attack?"

"Ten days later, during this period, you can continue to find more corpses, however many you find, the Taiyi Sect will trade that many with you."

Li An shook his head and said, "Being your inside agent is fine, but as for the corpses... do you know, in the entire Celestial Killer Mountain, the only Nascent Soul level corpse left is the one I gave you, there are none others."

Lihua immediately frowned, "None left?"

After becoming Li An’s contact, the Taiyi Sect provided her with a lot of information, and she now had significant knowledge of things like corpses.

"Yes, decades ago, the Vermilion Bird King led troops and stayed at the Celestial Killer Mountain for a period. At that time, they opened a Celestial Demon Secret Realm."

"In the Celestial Demon Secret Realm, there was a Celestial Demon corpse. It turned out, however, that the Evil Crystal within that Celestial Demon corpse contained poison. When the secret realm was opened, the corpse was broken, and the poison spread throughout the Evil Vein of the entire Celestial Killer Mountain... Now, forty years have passed, and the Evil Vein in the Celestial Killer Mountain has all become poisonous."

"So, there are quite a few corpses in the Celestial Killer Mountain, but they have all become Poisonous Evil, can you still use them?"

Li An leisurely said, with a smile: "Among those who participated in that Celestial Demon Secret Realm, now there is only me and General Jia Man left, just this news alone, I think is worth another portion of Rank Four Creation Jade, don’t you think?"
