At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Having reaped the benefits, Li Lan did not linger at the Guangji Temple.

He directly returned to Immortal Trace Valley and began his closed-door cultivation journey.

In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

In the initial months.

Li Lan could clearly feel that the number of people entering Immortal Trace Valley had suddenly increased.

These people had various identities.

This book is first published on the entire network by 饾暐 饾暔 饾暅 饾晵 饾暉 . 饾晹 饾暊 饾暈

Not only were there disciples from Guangji Temple, Lingxiao Gate, and Sanbao Temple.

But there were also many rogue cultivators whose origins were indistinguishable.

Their cultivation levels were mostly in the early stage of Qi Refining, with very few above the middle stage.

At first.

Li Lan thought that his identity had been exposed, and they were here to hunt him down, which made him very vigilant.

Later, after observing for a period of time with the Spirit Bean Soldiers, he realized this was not the case.

After the Stone Bamboo Shoot Ridge incident, the major sects began to issue sect missions, purchasing rare spiritual plants on a large scale.

The rewards offered were exceptionally generous.

These people were purely motivated by the allure of those rewards, hoping to try their luck here.

With the spiritual plants in the outer areas almost completely plundered by Li Lan.

Their gains were minimal.

Some cultivators noticed that the spiritual energy here seemed different from the outside world.

So, like Li Lan, they also settled here to cultivate.

While other cultivators, unwilling to make a wasted trip and gain nothing.

Continued to explore deeper.

However.

After these cultivators entered the central area of Immortal Trace Valley, they never returned.

Later on.

The major sects seemed to have collected enough rare spiritual plants.

The rewards offered gradually decreased, returning to normal levels.

In addition, the frequent disappearances here finally attracted the attention of other cultivators.

Under this unknown threat.

The number of cultivators who dared to come here to try their luck also became fewer and fewer.

Those who were cultivating here also realized the danger.

Although the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth here was indeed good, it was not worth risking their lives for.

Most cultivators were still young, and they felt it was not worth taking the risk.

Therefore, most people eventually chose to leave.

But this did not include Li Lan.

With the Spirit Bean Soldiers, he was like having opened the Eye of Heaven.

His perception of approaching danger was many times stronger than that of cultivators at the same realm.

When others cautiously absorbed every trace of spiritual energy, having to stop vigilantly to observe whether there was any danger nearby.

Li Lan, with several Spirit Bean Soldiers on guard, could devour and absorb spiritual energy without any scruples.

The gap between cultivators is always widened in every detail.

Accumulating bit by bit, gathering sand into a tower.

After two years of unremitting efforts.

Li Lan finally achieved success, smoothly condensing the fourth mana vortex in his dantian.

His realm also broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

[Remaining Lifespan: Thirty-seven Years]

Of course.

Li Lan's gains over the past two years.

Were far more than just the increase in lifespan and realm.

Reaching a new height, he found that his divine sense had also become much more refined.

He could control more Spirit Bean Soldiers at the same time.

Reaching about ten.

The range of the five senses obtained from each Spirit Bean Soldier had also increased significantly.

Through continuous tempering, Li Lan's control over the Counterfeit Treasures became more and more proficient.

He could even initially activate the power of the Judge's Pen Counterfeit Treasure.

In addition to these expected improvements.

What surprised him most was that the spiritual plant seeds planted by the stream had also sprouted and grown.

When the seedlings first appeared, Li Lan was stunned to find that these were actually the core materials needed to refine the Qinghao Burning Sky Talisman: Spirit-Attracting Artemisia.

This was truly a case of searching high and low without finding it, only to stumble upon it effortlessly.

It is expected that after a period of time.

This thing will be completely mature.

At that time.

All the auxiliary materials needed for the Qinghao Burning Sky Talisman will be gathered.

Li Lan can also officially begin refining this powerful talisman.

However.

Not everything is smooth sailing.

Over the past two years.

Li Lan had also tried to refine the Realm-Breaking Pill.

Although there was only half of the pill formula, if the skill was sufficient, he could still refine a rudimentary pill.

Unfortunately.

Li Lan had tried many times, but had not succeeded.

After pestering and begging for half a year, Miao Chenfeng also used this as an excuse to delay again and again, and never gave him the other half of the pill formula.

Regarding this.

Li Lan did not have any special emotions.

Having persisted in cultivation for so many years.

His personality, which was already calm, became even more proficient in the art of concealing his abilities.

He knew very well that some things cannot be rushed.

To achieve this step in such a short period of time with a pseudo-spiritual root.

Li Lan was already extremely satisfied.

The art of alchemy belongs to acquired talent, and experience and skills can be improved through acquired accumulation.

As long as there are sufficient alchemy materials.

As long as he is willing to put in hard work, he will not have to worry about refining a successful pill.

It's just a matter of one day earlier or one day later.

Therefore.

Li Lan did not take this little setback too much to heart.

On this day.

He was continuing to cultivate wholeheartedly, while also nurturing the Counterfeit Treasure.

The Judge's Pen Counterfeit Treasure in his hand, like breathing.

Following Li Lan's rhythm of breathing, it flashed with colorful brilliance in a very regular manner.

Suddenly.

Li Lan seemed to have sensed something, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes.

His gaze looked in a certain direction.

He pondered for a moment.

Then he put the Judge's Pen Counterfeit Treasure back into the storage bag and got up to leave the cave.

鈥?鈥?,"In the jungle.

A girl in red was wandering alone in the forest.

She was not very old, only about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Her jet-black hair was simply tied behind her head, and although she was still young, there was a hint of uninhibited heroism between her eyebrows.

The green vegetation was layered upon layer, like invisible barriers.

Lying in front of her, blocking the girl's way forward.

If it were someone else, seeing that the road was impassable, most would choose to detour.

But the girl in red was not like that.

She held an ancient jade mirror in her hand.

A ball of milky white spiritual energy condensed into a dot, flickering on the edge of the smooth mirror surface.

Looking closely, it is not difficult to find.

That spiritual energy dot pointed directly to the impassable road ahead.

Su Hongying is a new seedling of the nearby Su family, and also the most potential talent among the new generation of peers.

The Su family has inherited an ancient jade mirror, which can automatically detect where the spiritual energy is most concentrated within a radius of one mile.

Cultivators use this to search, and most will gain something.

Relying on the special effect of this treasure, the Su family, although not comparable to those sect forces.

But it can be regarded as having a foothold near Immortal Trace Valley.

Su Hongying successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining at the young age of fourteen.

This achievement is rare even in the entire Jiuhua County.

After careful decision-making within the family.

They are preparing to send her to Jiuhua County City to join one of the three major sects.

Firstly, Su Hongying can obtain better cultivation resources, so as not to bury her talent.

Secondly, it can connect the family and establish a relationship with the major sects, and the Su family's future revitalization is promising.

In order to ensure that this junior can be cultivated by the sect with emphasis.

Therefore, in this most critical year of fourteen years old, Su Hongying was confined to her home.

It was not until recently that she successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining that she was released.

Children are still young and cannot understand the good intentions of their elders, and they are also at the most rebellious age.

As soon as she gained freedom, she instantly slipped away without a trace.

Before leaving, she also took away the ancient jade mirror that the family regarded as a treasure.
