Free Web NovelChapter 643: Chapter 313: Tempting Bait for a Big Catch (Part 3)
Li An looked at the desolate medicinal field, pondering in his heart.
Yi Lingwei constructed the Immortal Attraction Platform under the guise of cultivating Blood Medicine in these mountains, using these medicinal fields as a front. But now, even the fields have been neglected, clearly due to the busyness at the Immortal Attraction Platform, to the point where even Yi Yuan can’t spare the attention to manage the fields.
He entered a stone house and then took out the Anomaly Crystal given by Yi Lingwei, beginning to pretend to cultivate.
Twenty lower-grade Anomaly Crystals are considered a decent gift, but to Li An, they are not significant.
Li An received medium-grade Anomaly Crystals from Lady Yi, and still has four left, which are rich in Anomalous Qi, enough for him to cultivate for four to five years!
Usually, a Tribulation Crossing Stage Abnormal Cultivator requires around sixty lower-grade Anomaly Crystals annually, but Li An’s anomaly is stronger than the typical Abnormal Cultivator, so he needs at least around a hundred.
Twenty pieces would only suffice for two months of cultivation.
He pretended to cultivate, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
Things are going smoothly for now.
He meticulously put in effort, even offering Lady Yi the Primordial Spirit, Demon Skill, laying out a plan on the Southern Sea, all for one purpose: to divert Yi Lingwei’s attention to the Southern Sea!
Once his maneuvers follow through, he can attract Yi Lingwei and a large number of top experts she commands away...
Only then can Li An create havoc in Mangya Mountain.
The so-called Demon Kettle lid is merely bait he’s placed in the Southern Sea.
Faced with such alluring bait, he believes Yi Lingwei won’t be able to resist.
It’s unlikely to be a "vacant army."
"However, I still have one important matter to prepare..."
Even if everything goes smoothly, when the Hongmeng Immortal Light appears, he reckons he will likely be detained.
He knows Yi Lingwei quite well, as she is notably cunning and would not allow Li An to freely roam in Mangya Mountain; she’s always kept the Immortal Attraction Platform away from his involvement, clearly intending to keep control in her hands!
Therefore, she will guard against Li An.
But she won’t overdo it, after all, Lady Yi stands behind Li An, and she wouldn’t want to kill him directly nor imprison him alive...
Most likely, she’ll assign someone to watch Li An, preventing him from making any moves.
"The watcher... should be Yi Yuan."
This signifies that for Li An to gain freedom, he needs to deal with the watcher.
Eliminate him?
Yi Yuan’s cultivation is at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, while Li An’s mysterious cultivation is only Mahayana on the surface; in reality, he’s at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so killing Yi Yuan is not difficult for Li An.
However, any disturbance during the fight could jeopardize his plan.
Yi Yuan must perish silently...
"Hope these poisons work."
He murmured in his heart.
Amongst the substantial resources he received within the Dao Sect were several Immortal Poisons!
Effective against Immortals.
However, whether they’re effective against mysterious creatures is unknown.
"The poison and the Dao are interconnected; I can try using the Blood Medicine here to concoct..."
He envisioned a plan.
...
The next day, Li An sorted out the medicinal field according to Yi Yuan’s arrangements, planting herbs, etc.
Everything proceeded smoothly, methodically, without haste. freёwebnovel.com
He worked diligently, especially in a few medicinal fields where he refined many corpses to cultivate superior "Blood Immortal Light Grass."
In the Spirit Realm, Immortal Herbs are categorized by the cultivator’s levels into ordinary Immortal Elixir, Profound Immortal Pill, Celestial Immortal Pill, Golden Immortal Pill, etc. Ordinary Immortals generally only need ordinary Immortal Elixir, while Profound Immortal Pill, as the name suggests, suits Profound Immortals.
Within the Yi Clan, the most valuable are the Celestial Immortal Pills—the Celestial Immortal Hundred-leaf Vine. Unfortunately, those Immortal Pills are located in the ancestral land of the Yi Clan, and Mangya Mountain lacks seeds. The Blood Immortal Light Grass he cultivated ranks right below the Celestial Immortal Hundred-leaf Vine as Profound Immortal Herbs.
Profound Immortal Herbs are already precious; ordinary Immortals can seldom encounter them, and their value is high.
If all goes well, he should be able to take these things when he leaves.
Since it’s work done for himself, he must devote his utmost attention.
He was so dedicated that when Yi Yuan returned occasionally and saw the progress of the medicinal fields, he was very pleased. Additionally, Li An behaved very thoughtfully, even voluntarily offering Yi Yuan some Anomaly Crystals, asking him for tips on cultivating the Blood Immortal Light Grass, getting more appreciation, with Yi Yuan showing a tendency to treat Li An as his heir to his herbal cultivation skills.
...
Time flies by.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed!
"It should be soon..."
Li An contemplated.
Recently, the situation outside has been changing drastically; the Abnormal Cultivators in Bian Province have probed several times, eleven days of Heaven and Earth pressure on the Spirit Realm had pushed deeper, clearly indicating that the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Realm is close to collapse!
In reality, it has lasted for many years thanks to the Dao Sect.
Withered Fate Child, Taiqingzi, and others have exhausted everything in Dao Sect, actively defending over the years, prolonging the destruction of the Spirit Realm’s Heavenly Dao.
But now, it has reached its limit!
Over at Cang Mang Valley, the force of creation is surging, seemingly indicating that the Immortal Attraction Platform has become successful, just waiting for the appearance of the Hongmeng Immortal Light and it can be summoned!
"I hope Gong Shanqing won’t disappoint me..."
A few days ago, he already crushed an ultra-secret communication device from the Gong Clan.
The last time they met, Gong Shanqing gave him three of these, which even within the Gong Clan are quite rare, crafted by a Celestial Immortal Ancestor, owned only by the most core disciples. freēwēbnovel.com
The reason for giving Li An one was because Li An was extremely important to him, and he feared missing crucial information Li An might find, especially as this concerns significant issues relating to Lady Yi.
