How could the master of the mysterious demonic energy appear at this time?

Moreover, he even brought along a Third Grade Primordial Spirit Pill?

What does this mean?

Li An had many doubts flash through his mind, yet he remained calm, examining the elder up and down before casually closing the door.

"Fellow Daoist, what treasure do you wish to have appraised at my pavilion?"

Li An sat down, smiling as he asked.

The elderly man sighed deeply and said, "This item is what I have pursued my entire life. It's just a pity that when I finally acquired it, I was already old, with no hope on the immortal path..."

As he spoke, he took out a box and handed it to Li An.

Li An solemnly received it, then gently opened it to take a look.

The fragrance of the pill instantly filled the air.

At the same time, a mysterious demonic energy from the box instantly traveled along Li An's hand and entered his dantian!

"Again?!"

Li An's heart gave a startled jump.

Damn...

This damned demon cultivator—isn't he overdoing it a bit?!

Li An almost wanted to curse out loud, as a surge of killing intent suddenly rose within him.

He was practically about to explode with anger!

If nothing unexpected happened, the demonic energy inside him could be completely refined in a few more years.

By then, he could escape quietly, and his enemies wouldn't be able to track him anymore.

He'd then seize the chance to sneak back to White Tiger City to acquire the Top Grade Primordial Spirit Pill...

At that point, his future would be clear and he could freely soar in the sky.

But now, this damned demon cultivator was replenishing his demonic energy at such a time??

#...%￥@# Damn ￥%...

You really know how to pick your moments!!

Even though Li An was usually of uncommon disposition, calm and composed, he couldn't help but have his hand tremble slightly at this moment.

Yet, he quickly collected himself.

No, there must be no reveal!

The less humane the opponent is, the more he needs to remain steady and composed.

Otherwise, everything would be for naught.

At this moment, his mind raced with thoughts.

His Divine Sense strengthened and his Life Seed was no longer what it used to be. Hence, this mysterious demonic energy totally failed to escape his perception.

In fact, he was now able to barely block this demonic body from entering his body with his Divine Sense and Life Seed's power.

However, as the thought flashed by, he did nothing!

His eyes revealed a trace of shock and eagerness as he quickly closed the box.

He looked up at the elder and said, "Fellow Daoist, such an item... Do you wish to auction it at my pavilion?"

His breathing turned slightly hurried, appearing deeply captivated by the content of the box.

"I originally didn't want to sell it, but keeping such an item would only bring disaster..."

The elder sighed deeply, "Instead of guarding a mountain of treasure in perpetual anxiety, it might be better to exchange it for a life of riches and honor, or possibly to establish a Foundation Establishment family..."

Li An nodded repeatedly, "Fellow Daoist is quite right!"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "But Fellow Daoist, such an item... I wouldn't recommend auctioning it."

The elder asked, "Oh? Why not?"

Li An responded, "Because no one would dare to buy it!"

"Think about it, among the Foundation Establishment families, who in the vast Northern Territory has the resources to buy it?"

"Furthermore, the major Core Formation forces, White Tiger City, Divine Sword Sect, Hundred Beasts Sect, would never allow a Foundation Establishment family to produce a Core Formation cultivator."

"Once the information leaks, it will surely become the object of contention among the major Core Formation forces."

"But at that time... not to mention you, Fellow Daoist, even our Treasure Pavilion might not have the right to speak..."

Li An worked hard to appear sincere, seeming desperate to keep this pill.

Feigning having not noticed anything, performing for the person in front of him.

After all, if Li An showed no excitement about a Core Formation opportunity, it would surely seem suspicious.

"Well... What does the chief suggest?"

The elder hesitated.

"A Primordial Spirit Pill can sell for around fifteen thousand spirit stones, and it can't be easily sought."

"In this way, if you trust me, I can help you find a buyer to purchase at a price higher than the market price. How does that sound?"

The elder immediately looked wary, saying, "I'll think about it."

Zuo Wen still had an unsatisfied look in his eyes, but he had to say:

"Very well, Fellow Daoist can take your time to consider this. Here is my token; with this, you can come to see me at any time."

"Moreover, I implore you not to let this item's information spread, lest it brings great calamity upon you."

The elder left with the Primordial Spirit Pill.

Li An closed the door, sat in the chair, took a sip of tea, and immediately assessed the situation within his dantian, clenching his fist tightly!

His eyes were somewhat red!

Furious.

Now, the amount of mysterious demonic energy had increased once again...

Without several decades, it was impossible to refine it completely.

What does it mean to have no end?!

He seemed to have been forced into a dead-end.

Li An took several deep breaths, suppressing the panic and rage in his heart, calmly contemplating.

"I should have anticipated that someone capable of setting up such a situation wouldn't let me develop freely..."

"The more critical the moment, the more the other party will pay attention, so even if I show no abnormal behavior, they will add another demonic energy for safety."

"Escape... There's no chance!"

He furrowed his brow.

"Adding demonic energy while sending the Primordial Spirit Pill, it seems they're getting impatient..."

Li An could roughly figure out the opponent's intentions.

The master of the mysterious demonic energy was also getting anxious.

Therefore, placing the Primordial Spirit Pill directly in Li An's hands was deliberately allowing him to acquire it.

Of course, to ensure Li An noticed nothing amiss, the other party would surely perform before letting him take it.

But the final outcome was already set.

"If escape is impossible... then a frontal battle?"

Li An pondered.

"No, the risk is too great..."

He shook his head, dismissing the idea.

He still hadn't determined how high the mysterious demonic energy's master's cultivation was.

Core Formation?

What if it was higher?!

Even if the opponent was merely at Core Formation, putting in all his effort wouldn't be enough.

From his past life as a Core Formation cultivator, he understood this point very well.

"Perhaps there's another way."

An idea suddenly flashed in Li An's mind...

Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill!

One of the three great techniques of the Demon Sect, normally requiring Core Formation stage to utilize.

It allows splitting a primordial spirit to possess others, turning them into extensions of oneself.

Even at Foundation Establishment stage like Xu Qiuhui, one could abandon their body to possess others.

If he abandoned his current body, the demonic energy would naturally remain, and Li An's primordial spirit could be free to cultivate anew.

With Life Nourishing Immortal Skill and a Top Grade Primordial Spirit Pill hidden in White Tiger City, this path is not impossible...

The cost would just be too high.

"Prepare for both scenarios—"

Li An pondered briefly, coming up with a plan.

First, begin cultivating Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill, preparing for possession.

Second, strive to refine the demonic energy while observing quietly.

That night, returning to his residence.

Li An immediately began cultivating Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill.

Previously, he hadn't even looked at this skill.

First, he had no interest in Demon Sect techniques, having Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, he could cultivate slowly, avoiding haste and focusing on stability.

Second, Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill couldn't be used until the Core Formation stage.

Now, to prepare another path, he had no choice but to start cultivating it...

The Primordial Spirit Cauldron Skill began circulating slowly within him.

Boom!

Suddenly, a soft sound echoed inside him, and within his dantian, once the first strand of Primordial Spirit Demonic Qi was produced, it unexpectedly resonated with the Blood Flesh Demonic Qi and Yin Yang Demonic Qi...

The three demonic energies seemed on the verge of merging into one!

Li An was slightly astonished; these three techniques actually produced such changes?
