The only regret is that he hasn’t boarded the carriage yet!
However, this is normal. He is certainly self-aware.
Just the identity of being Alchemist Mo’s servant would definitely make Yan Kongyi suspect he’s in cahoots with Alchemist Mo.
He doesn’t have any complaints about this.
Moreover, just as Yan Qingwan was about to vanish, the guilty look in her eyes as she glanced at him was very clear.
"Ah! This will surely alarm the Yan Family Ancestor." Alchemist Mo thumped his chest in frustration.
He imdiately lost interest in looking at Li Ji’an and dashed outside.
Leaving behind just one sentence: "I’m going to inform Patriarch Wei, speed it up, take care of this man!"
The Beast Tar controlling the spirit beast frowned slightly, glanced at Li Ji’an who was still slumped on the ground, and paid him no mind.
"Boom~" Soon after, a sudden explosion sounded from outside.
"The Wei Family is indeed bold to this extent? What do they take my Yan Family for?" A deep, aged voice rang out at the sa ti, speaking with a calm and gentle tone, yet failing to conceal the anger within.
"What’s the progress? I can hold on for ten more breaths!" As the Yan Family Foundation Establishnt Ancestor made his move, Wei Huai Ren’s anxious voice ca through.
Upon hearing this, the Beast Tar’s spirit faltered imdiately.
He hastily urged the frog to act.
"Gua~" The frog croaked with difficulty, having only managed to swallow thirty percent of the dicinal field.
"Boom~" Another loud explosion echoed from outside.
"Forget it, let’s leave quickly!" The Beast Tar could no longer withstand the pressure, halting the frog from swallowing anymore.
The frog imdiately closed its mouth, feeling much relieved.
Yet, before the frog could catch a breath, the Beast Tar pointed at Li Ji’an lying on the ground: "Swallow him!"
"Gugu~" The frog instantly retreated two steps, its bell-like eyes showing extre reluctance, especially after noticing Li Ji’an also looking at it, it shut its mouth even tighter.
"Hmm? Stupid creature! You’re asking for trouble." The Beast Tar snorted coldly, and imdiately took out the Beast Taming Bag, reaching to touch the embedded Beast Soul Stone.
"Gugu~" The frog writhing in agony instantly.
"Retreat!" At this mont, another urging voice ca from outside the cave.
Clearly, the Yan Family Foundation Establishnt Ancestor had so hidden tricks surpassing Wei Huai Ren’s and his team’s expectations.
"Useless!" The Beast Tar cursed angrily, no longer binding the frog, and with a slap, collected it into the Spirit Beast Bag, while running outside, casually throwing a Wind Blade towards Li Ji’an.
"Whoosh~" Just as the Wind Blade was about to hit him, Li Ji’an, who was originally slumped on the ground, suddenly moved.
As he dodged the Wind Blade, his figure appeared behind the Beast Tar, punching without hesitation.
"Boom~" Without even releasing a Magical Shield, the Beast Tar’s chest exploded, dying without realizing what had happened.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, quick retreat... You! How dare you!" Just as the Beast Tar’s chest exploded, the three from outside swiftly flew back inside, coincidentally witnessing the scene.
Aside from the black-robed man whose face couldn’t be seen, the other two, especially Alchemist Mo, watched dumbfounded.
"Go!" Wei Huai Ren gritted his teeth in rage, yet dared not delay, giving Li Ji’an a fierce glance, he crushed the Teleportation Talisman in his hand.
The three figures subsequently blurred, ultimately disappearing without a trace.
"Humph! You think you can escape?" The next mont, a powerful pressure surged into the cave mansion, simultaneously a Fire Dragon exploded at the location where the three had disappeared.
Following that, without a pause, the whole person transford into a ball of firelight and chased out again.
anwhile, other mbers of the Yan Clan rushed in from outside the cave.
Li Ji’an glanced at the Beast Tar’s corpse, a Storage Pouch and Beast Taming Bag were by the feet, but he eventually shook his head and gave up.
With thirty percent of the Yan Family’s crucial dicinal field lost, there was no way he could easily muddle through this.
However, in this instance of killing the Beast Tar, he had established an enormous rit for the Yan Family, hence there was no need to hide from Alchemist Mo anymore, his rewards should not be lacking.
In these years, as the Wei and Yan Families struggled, they often resorted to extravagant ans to recruit outsiders for support, not to ntion this real significant contribution.
"Alchemist Mo... In your next life it’ll surely be as you wish!"
Gazing distantly at the direction in which Alchemist Mo and the others had left, he jotted down today’s events in his mind, dispersing negative emotions, preventing them from affecting his mindset.
The right thing to do is to note it down, and act when completely confident, without letting it affect himself.
Indeed, given his current Body Cultivator strength, if he were determined to hunt Alchemist Mo, he would have an eighty percent success rate.
But ultimately it was not perfect.
With the Rejuvenation in his possession, he has his coming life, unless it’s unavoidable, he is unwilling and it’s unnecessary to act rashly.
He prefers steady crushing pressure.
Prefers bullying the elderly in a peak state.
Even if it ans dancing on their graves.
In no ti, the Yan Family Ancestor returned empty-handed.
Yan Kongyi and Yan Qingwan were also brought back.
Apart from having erupted Tier One late-period Body Cultivation strength during the Beast Tar’s demise, Li Ji’an provided a truthful account of the details after Yan Kongyi and Yan Qingwan escaped using the Lifebound Shifting Talisman.
"Li Chang’an, you’ve achieved great rit once again!" After confirming that Li Ji’an had not lied, the Yan Family Ancestor acknowledged his actions.
Soon after, the frog was released, spit out the swallowed dicinal field.
Checking the Beast Tar’s Storage Pouch and Spirit Pet Bag found no particularly valuable items, the Yan Family Ancestor tossed them to Li Ji’an: "This person was slain by you, so the spoils naturally belong to you, rest assured, your rewards for your two rits are unrelated to this."
"Ancestor, it’s not just two tis, were it not for Li Chang’an, my alchemy skill wouldn’t have progressed like this, especially now that Old Thief Mo has escaped, if it weren’t for Li Chang’an’s assistance over the years, I wouldn’t be able to shoulder the burden of the Pill Shop now!" Yan Qingwan added from the side.
Feeling sowhat guilty.
At that fleeting mont, she genuinely thought it was goodbye forever.
And the promise to protect her offspring would forever remain unfulfilled.
Only, she never expected his Tier One initial Body Cultivation power would turn out to be the final key.
If not for his final move, the Yan Family’s secret dicinal field would have lost thirty percent.
"Indeed! He should be richly rewarded! Once Zongsheng returns, you all decide on the reward." The Ancestor finalized the tone.
Yan Zongsheng happens to be Yan Qingwan’s father, and the current Yan Family Patriarch.
After this matter, Li Ji’an completely established himself in the Yan Family.
His status transford from Alchemist Mo’s forr servant to Yan Qingwan’s partner.
To fill the gap left by Alchemist Mo’s absence, for a long ti thereafter, Yan Qingwan devoted herself more diligently to the study of alchemy, and began to refine essential pill dicines for the clan.
For this purpose, the clan spent considerable money, purchasing many pill formulas externally.
These pill formulas beca Li Ji’an’s resource pool for refining and understanding the Alchemy Dao.
Two years swiftly passed...
"Gua~" On this day, as Li Ji’an returned from the Yan Family’s Alchemy Room, the millstone-sized frog poked its head out from the small courtyard’s pond and croaked.
Two years ago, after the Yan Family Ancestor handed him the Spirit Pet Bag, he specifically researched the Beast Taming Dao in the Cultivation Realm.
By imprinting the spirit beast’s Divine Soul with the Beast Soul Stone, as long as he mastered the Spirit Pet Bag embedded with the Beast Soul Stone, he could control the spirit beasts.
However, in the Beast Taming Dao, control is not the key, rather, it’s about nurturing and stimulating its potential.
And as his understanding of the Beast Taming Dao deepened, he developed a new idea for his "Rejuvenation," if successful, the safety of the childhood period would increase significantly!
