The target of White Tiger Mountain is the Prince Mansion!
This was the first conclusion that Li An reached in his thoughts.
For a Golden Core Great Cultivator, Li An himself held no value and wasn’t worth such a significant effort from White Tiger Mountain.
However, after becoming the chief of the Treasure Pavilion, he could, in a certain sense, largely control the resources of the Prince Mansion!
The Treasure Pavilion itself was a channel through which the Prince Mansion gathered resources.
Moreover, the materials that White Tiger Master asked Li An to collect were too specific.
A few years ago, the Prince Mansion had collected a large amount of Fetal Soul Herbs and Celestial Slayer Stones through the Treasure Pavilion.
Fetal Soul Herbs could be used to nurture the Divine Soul.
Celestial Slayer Stones could be used for Demon Cultivators to cultivate or to create super killing arrays.
White Tiger Master wanted Li An to collect Soul-Devouring Roots and Breaking Evil Springs for White Tiger Mountain, both of which could be refined into treasures targeting the Divine Soul, effectively opposite to the function of Fetal Soul Herbs.
Breaking Evil Springs could also break the power of Celestial Slayer Stones.
Additionally, White Tiger Master also intended for Li An to deliver top-grade Fetal Soul Herbs and Celestial Slayer Stones to the Prince Mansion... If Li An guessed correctly, there must be sothing wrong with the two items they were sending to the Prince Mansion.
"Is White Tiger Mountain planning to make a move against the Prince Mansion?"
Li An couldn’t help but feel alard in his heart.
In the end, the two sides would inevitably have a showdown.
What gave him a headache was that he found himself caught in a relatively central position on both sides...
This was simply outrageous.
At this mont, Li An was quite burdened with concerns; on one hand, he had to deal with White Tiger Mountain, maneuvering between White Tiger Mountain and the Prince Mansion.
On the other hand, he had to be wary of that damn Third Princess and the owner of the mysterious Demonic Qi.
"This ti, White Tiger Mountain takes the initiative. The timing to act should be when I have gathered all the items and presented the treasures to the Prince Mansion..."
Li An pondered deeply.
There was still ti!
As long as he could gather the poisonous elixirs and completely refine that mysterious Demonic Qi before everything happened, he could make a clean getaway.
As for the struggles between White Tiger Mountain, the Prince Mansion, and the owner of the mysterious Demonic Qi... it had nothing to do with him.
Let them fight and kill each other. When the opportunity arises, he’ll take the top-grade Primordial Spirit Pill, find another place to achieve Golden Core, and from then on, the sky’s the limit—
"White Tiger Mountain is indeed willing to invest heavily..."
Taking out the Third Grade Fetal Soul Herb, Li An felt quite satisfied.
There are benefits to scheming with a tiger, as he conned them for good things.
He didn’t hesitate and swallowed the Fetal Soul Herb.
Actually, the effects would be better after alchemy, but seeking a Third Grade Alchemist would cause too much trouble, better to lose a bit of the efficacy.
In the following month, Li An secluded himself to nurture his Divine Soul.
A month later.
"The coverage distance of my Divine Sense has increased by over eight miles!"
Now, Li An’s Divine Sense scanning range has reached nearly thirty miles.
It’s known that the Divine Sense coverage range of an early-stage Core Formation expert is often only fifty or sixty miles.
In terms of Divine Sense, Li An could be called invincible below Core Formation.
"I should ask White Tiger Mountain for so more good things..."
Li An pondered for a mont, then sent out widespread invitations!
A month later, he would leave White Tiger City to take up the position of chief, so he invited old friends to a feast.
This was just an excuse to collect gifts!
The most important thing was that now the Demon Slaying Array in White Tiger City is closed, and who knows if there are spies sent by the Third Princess in the city. With widespread invitations and gift collection, the things sent by White Tiger Mountain could be concealed.
He included a secret letter in the invitation to White Tiger Mountain.
...
"The Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill has been successfully completed, Xu Qiuhui is smart and cautious, she should be reliable."
In the secret chamber of White Tiger Mountain, White Tiger Master spoke to the frail-looking girl.
Even as a Great Cultivator of the Golden Core stage, while talking to this sickly girl, White Tiger Master never showed any condescension or superiority in her deanor.
Sotis, she even appeared sowhat humble!
"It would be best if she succeeds."
The frail-looking girl calmly said, "After all, Xiling Origin Continent is relatively peaceful, and I don’t wish to destroy this place..."
Although the Great Li Dynasty spans a vast region... it’s only one corner of Xiling Origin Continent!
In the Xiling Origin Continent, there are many other powers and nations similar to the Great Li Dynasty.
Upon hearing the girl’s words, White Tiger Master’s eyes flashed with a complex emotion and said, "If sothing really goes wrong and causes failure, then..."
"Then I’ll have no choice but to slaughter Celestial Yang City, leaving not a single sparrow, worm, or mosquito, just to see where my sister’s fragnted soul could still reside—"
The frail-looking girl spoke with certainty, her eyes as clear as a lake reflecting a kind of determined ruthlessness:
"Even if doing so requires a great cost, as long as my sister is killed... it will all be worth it."
White Tiger Master was silent for a long ti before finally saying, "Trust in Qiu Hui."
This is all that can be done.
"By the way, has the female cultivator with Innate Extre Yin Fate been obtained from Celestial Yang City?"
White Tiger Master continued to ask.
"Yes."
The frail-looking girl replied indifferently, "Many years ago, I managed to send her over. The ’Three Yang and One Yin Skill’ can achieve Nascent Soul, which is our Demon Sect’s exclusive secret technique... King Jingbei surely obtained this thod from my sister."
"King Jingbei destroyed Profound Yang Sect and captured the Profound Yang Master. His actions against you suggest he only needs that ’one Yin’ female Core Formation Cultivator to complete the last step. Now it seems his progress has accelerated..."
White Tiger Master couldn’t help but lant, "If he truly becos a Nascent Soul, the Great Li Empire might fall into his hands..."
However, a hint of sarcasm appeared in the frail-looking girl’s eyes: "When he achieves Nascent Soul, it will be the day my sister uses him for rebirth."
"The Nascent Soul he achieves using this thod is the best habitation for my sister’s fragnted soul!"
"A fool, nothing more."
White Tiger Master was stunned for a long while. Even as a Golden Core Great Cultivator, listening to the frail-looking girl speak of these things still made her feel a cold fear.
Even King Jingbei, even herself, were they nothing more than chess pieces...?
At this mont, a knocking ca from outside the secret chamber.
"Enter—"
White Tiger Master said.
Her first disciple, Mo Xuan, personally arrived, respectfully presenting an invitation: "Master Zuo, Master Zuo of the Pavilion, is about to depart for Celestial Yang City to take the chief’s position and sent an invitation for you to attend the feast."
White Tiger Master didn’t look at the invitation but instead opened the secret letter inside.
"She really has quite the appetite."
With a cold laugh, she didn’t lift her head, saying, "Mo Xuan, when Zuo Wen holds the banquet in three days, send a gift. The ceremonial gift should be adequate, but secretly include materials for two Rank Three arrays."
Mo Xuan paused, seemingly quite puzzled. Materials for two Rank Three arrays...
Such things were too precious.
To give them to Zuo Wen?
However, he said nothing, respectfully complied, and left.
After he left.
"You see, Xu Qiuhui is quite clever, understanding that she is useful to now, thus daring to ask for these things..."
White Tiger Master smiled slightly, "Has your confidence in her grown a bit?"
"Not really, she’s just a spare chess piece. If she succeeds, it’s easier for to kill my sister. If she doesn’t, it’s just more work for ... slaughtering a city is a small price, it’s not like I haven’t done it before."
The frail-looking girl spoke as if it was trivial.
White Tiger Master’s expression was complex. This girl appeared sickly and gentle, yet her domineering aura was so glaring, even for her, a Golden Core Great Cultivator, it was blinding...
...
Three days later.
Zuo Wen hosted a grand feast.
The number of gifts received was countless!
Among the obvious gifts, the ones from the Wang Clan of Heyang were the most precious.
After Wang Dazhu’s death, Chen Qingling took over the family.
As a Fake Pill Cultivator, she displayed her full abilities, maneuvering with great skill, and generously gifted Li An a high-quality Tier Two magical treasure.
Yet the most valuable items in secret were the two sets of Rank Three array materials from White Tiger Mountain.
"Truly generous..."
Li An sighed once more, he had only asked for one set in the secret letter...
White Tiger Master provided double.
Working for the big shots truly pays well.
The feast concluded, and the next day.
Li An finally set off, leaving White Tiger City—
Throughout, he never once looked at the top-grade Primordial Spirit Pill he had buried in that deep well, as if it never existed...
