Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 365 - 241: Island Master of Evil Spirit Island (Long - ) (Part 4)
The Spirit Beasts, initially very frightened, were now immensely excited upon receiving the Life Seed’s aura from Li An. They became much more affectionate towards Li An.
In fact, each Beast Tamer could only command a limited number of Spirit Beasts; typically, one could establish a master-servant relationship with no more than three.
However, Li An’s Divine Sense was so powerful, and his soul strength far surpassed that of ordinary Beast Tamers, thus controlling these beasts was not an issue.
With a wave of his hand, he sent the Spirit Beasts away. Li An then glanced at the large black python next to him, whose eyes were filled with resentment, and said, "Stop staring, you’ll get your share."
This large black python was somewhat adorably clumsy, and Li An gave it more Life Seed’s aura, second only to Xiaoqing.
After all, this creature had brought him out of the Dao Sect, bearing remarkable contributions with hard labor.
After completing these tasks, Li An released three Rank Three evil spirits. These three evil spirits hurriedly wanted to escape, but under Li An’s control, it was all in vain.
"Swear your allegiance to me and serve me, or face death--"
Li An used the Soul Control Skill of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect to subdue the three evil spirits...
Ten days later.
Two Rank Three Arrays were laid out, covering a 200-mile radius of the Evil Spirit Lake, proclaiming that this land now had a master.
On the lake surface, the three Rank Three evil spirits, along with other evil spirits, grew and patrolled, guarding Lake Heart Island. The Spirit Beasts and others on the island were all under Li An’s control.
Now, he needed to prepare a large number of Rank Four items, including materials for arrays, talismans, and so on, and wait for time to pass, allowing this Spirit Vein to grow...
Leaving the large black python to guard the island, Li An took Xiaoqing and left the Evil Spirit Lake, heading towards Ji Country’s capital, Wind Spirit City.
Wind Spirit City was the largest city in Ji Country and also the most prosperous place within Ji Country.
Cultivators came and went, but above the capital city, apart from the royal flag of Ji Country’s royal family, there was another great banner—the New Dao Alliance’s flag!
Clearly, as a major force in Yuanling Province, the Ji Country royal family also joined the New Dao Alliance.
Wind Spirit City, as a central city in the region, had many large forces that had opened branches here, making it extremely prosperous. Li An mainly visited the Ji Royal Family’s "Jizhen Pavilion" and the New Dao Alliance’s "New Dao Alliance Treasure Pavilion."
There were Rank Four Array materials, but they were quite expensive.
On this day, after disguising himself, Li An entered the New Dao Alliance Treasure Pavilion. After stating his purpose, he was quickly led to the Pavilion Master’s room. Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in splendid robes came in with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist, I heard you want to buy Rank Four Array materials?"
Li An, hidden under his cloak, nodded calmly.
"May I know how to address you? Are you perhaps a Rank Four Array Master?" The middle-aged man was quite curious but immediately explained, "It’s not that Zhang wants to probe Fellow Daoist; it’s just that the alliance orders that if a Rank Four Array Master arrives, they must be treated as a distinguished guest!"
"You can call me Wu Ming. I am not a Rank Four Array Master; I am purchasing these for my master."
Pavilion Master Zhang nodded, "Understood."
He waved his hand, and a maid carrying a piece of Rank Four Array Jade had already walked up. Pavilion Master Zhang said, "This item is priced at twenty-three thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones, but for a distinguished guest, you only need to pay twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Li An looked up, "Pavilion Master Zhang, is there anything you need me to do?"
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are indeed straightforward. To be honest, our New Dao Alliance is actively recruiting talents. We eagerly seek talents like Fellow Daoist and your esteemed master. If your master is willing to join our New Dao Alliance, we will certainly give him a grand reception—"
A Rank Four Array Master is a strategic resource anywhere!
Even within the New Dao Alliance, such talents are few and far between.
Li An said, "Thank you, but my master wanders the world and does not like to be tied down. Thank you, Pavilion Master, for your kindness--"
Li An handed over a storage bag containing exactly twenty-three thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
Then Li An left.
"Pavilion Master, should we follow him?"
An elderly man beside him asked.
"Do not act rashly!"
Pavilion Master Zhang replied coldly, "If we recklessly offend a Rank Four Array Master, it would not be worth the consequences!"
"Even if we can’t recruit him, we should at least maintain a good relationship."
...
Li An still needed Rank Four Talisman Pens, Talisman Papers, and other items, but he did not plan to purchase everything in one go to avoid being targeted.
Having obtained the Rank Four Array materials was sufficient.
What he lamented was that in the Spirit Realm... the inflation seemed quite severe. Rank Four Array materials could not have been sold for this many Spirit Stones in the lower realms.
"Hmm?"
As he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a shop at the street corner.
"Li Clan Talismans."
Upon seeing these four words, Li An couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.
...
