As expected, Cheng Qi’s attention was imdiately captured by a table of exquisite food. He eagerly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a whole ball into his mouth. While enjoying his al, he noticed Guan Haoran, whom he had encountered before, quietly appearing next to Li Tianyan.
“It’s been a long ti, Young Master Guan. It seems your illness has almost recovered,” Li Tianyan remarked, having noticed Guan Haoran’s presence earlier.
“Thanks to Young Master Li,” Guan Haoran replied with a flattering smile.
Li Tianyan’s prescriptions had indeed proven miraculous. Previously, other pharmacists had prescribed a bunch of tonics that only worsened his condition. If not for Li Tianyan’s guidance, he might still be taking them now.
“Since it has been cured, it’s better to eat less of that kind of food in the future,” Li Tianyan advised, casting a sideways glance at Guan Haoran. The scent emanating from the man seed like a walking aphrodisiac pill.
Guan Haoran looked sowhat embarrassed under Li Tianyan’s gaze, who expressed pure disgust. In an attempt to salvage his reputation, Guan Haoran lowered his voice and explained, “Young Master Li misunderstood. It was because I had taken the True Fire dicinal Pill, hoping to be blessed with a fire spiritual root. Unfortunately, I wasn’t fortunate enough, and the dicinal pill hard my body.”
“True Fire dicinal Pill? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it,” Li Tianyan frowned, expressing confusion about this unfamiliar dicinal pill.
Even if the nas of dicinal pill vary, as long as they were linked to spiritual roots, they were highly precious. The ntion of a pill that could induce the developnt of spiritual roots raised doubts, especially since it was not sothing Guan Haoran could easily obtain.
Guan Haoran, who previously had so doubts, beca more uncertain after Li Tianyan’s blunt statent. “Young Master Li has a basis,” he admitted hesitantly.
He recalled that it was his mother’s family who recomnded the master who cultivated the True Fire dicinal Pill. Several aristocratic families in Yuncheng were seeking those pills for the young candidates preparing for the next selection of Tianfan Immortal Sect. If he directly labeled the master as a fraud, he doubted anyone would believe him.
“Spiritual root is the essence of spiritual energy, crucial for the connection between humans and cultivation. Only those with mixed spiritual roots have been known to wash away excess ones. However, this is due to their inherent connection to immortality. Your personal destiny determines how far your path can go. Without that connection, no matter how many miraculous dicines you take, it will be in vain,” Li Tianyan explained, shaking his head.
Guan Haoran seed to grasp the words, but Cheng Qi, who was listening attentively next to Li Tianyan, appeared to comprehend their deeper aning.
Seeing that he was still confused, Li Tianyan simply changed his approach and said, “Let’s put it this way: if there is really a dicine that can grow spiritual roots after taking it, does the Immortal Sect still need to select disciples with spiritual roots in the secular world every ten years? They all use dicinal pills to cultivate their descendants. Where will there be a shortage of disciples? Why would they need to cast a wide net to collect mortals who can cultivate?”
Guan Haoran suddenly realized when he heard this, “I am stupid. Young Master Li is thinking so thoroughly; the master is said to have traveled from an Immortal Sect. I thought I had really t a noble person.”
Hearing about the Immortal Sect, Li Tianyan’s eyebrows skipped a beat. “You an that the expert is an immortal cultivator?”
“Yes, my aunt said that he is the proud disciple of a certain elder of an Immortal Sect. Now he is only twenty and is already at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, equivalent to the second level of innate strength,” Guan Haoran said about the immortal cultivator, expressing envy in his words.
“A warrior must pass through the acquired ninth level before touching the threshold of innateness, and there is a watershed from acquired to innate. How many acquired ninth level warriors have been groping for decades but cannot make any progress, especially those who can reach the innate state before the age of thirty? There are very few, but cultivators only need to practice to the fourth level of Qi Condensation to catch up with an innate warrior.”
Li Tianyan sneered after hearing this. If he was really an elder’s disciple, how could he co to the mortal world to deceive people? Immortal cultivators always have a high self-esteem, and few were willing to join the world and associate with mortals unless necessary. But if there really were cultivators here, Cheng Qi must be careful.
.
“Look, I was so busy talking that I almost forgot important things.” After Guan Haoran finished speaking, he quickly took out a bag from his front pocket and handed it to Li Tianyan.
“What is this?” Li Tianyan asked with an inexplicable expression as he took the bag. When he opened it, he found a land deed for a Shanxi suburb garden and a formation talisman.
“This is a thank-you gift from my mother. She hasn’t been able to et you these days, so she asked
to hand it over to you today,” Guan Haoran said with a smile.
“Thank-you gift? It seems that the Guan family is well-inford.” The affairs of his separation had not been spread out, but Madam Guan already knew about it, and she gave him a villa in such a generous way.
“Hey, actually, my mother doesn’t an anything else. She just wants to thank you. A thank-you gift must be sent to people’s hearts. This villa is equipped with a high-level protective formation. You will be absolutely safe here,” Guan Haoran explained, afraid of any misunderstandings.
Actually, his mother wanted to give money to Li Tianyan, but he felt that it would be better to give a place for him, so that he could win over the other party more.
Li Tianyan thought about it and accepted the gift, “Please tell Madam Guan my gratitude.”
He was not very familiar with Hengwu Continent, especially after hearing about the existence of cultivators, Li Tianyan felt that he should be more careful. It would be best to have a clean place to practice, at least until he had the ability to protect Cheng Qi before he could find the Immortal Sect in this world.
“By the way, Brother Li, do you still have the talismans you used that day? Can you sell
a few of them?” Guan Haoran saw that he had collected the things and couldn’t help but rub his hands excitedly. He said, “Brother Li, please give
the price.”
Li Tianyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other person. No wonder this guy would be tricked into taking aphrodisiac pills. Such a rich man really made people hate him and wanted to kill him, but this was obviously not the place to sells talismans. He said, “Five hundred taels a piece. If you want it, co et
in the villa later.”
“That’s it.” Guan Haoran heard that he was willing to sell, and he didn’t care about Li Tianyan’s price. Well, as long as the talisman was really effective, not to ntion five hundred taels, it was worth one thousand taels.
