"The name of the Blackhearted Talisman Master, of course, I've heard of... It's just a pity I never had the chance to meet."

Li An chuckled.

Xu Qiuhui kept watching Li An's eyes and expression, noticing that there was no unusual fluctuation, everything seemed normal.

Was she just overthinking?

"Alright then, I won't delay you any longer, Wei Daoist. Another day, I, Qiu Hui will visit again."

After saying this, she stood up and left.

After she left.

"Wei Daoist, there's something I should perhaps tell you,"

Gu Hong suddenly spoke, "My master and I have continually been targeted by Senior Brother Zhang Deyi. From now on... you might need to be more cautious."

She was reminding him.

Li An nodded.

Originally, although he had a falling out with Luo Yong, he did not wish to make an enemy of Zhang Deyi, so in his original plan, he would leave the city to establish his Foundation in another place after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill to avoid anyone finding out about his connection with Gu Hong and her master.

However, this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill disrupted the plan...

But, with things as they are, there was no other way.

Next, Li An returned to the secret chamber and awakened Gusongxi, who had been poisoned and unconscious.

Despite his mixed feelings, Gusongxi eventually accepted reality. After Li An used his cultivation to help remove the impurities from his Primordial Soul Crystal Core, he let go of the regret of losing the top-grade pill and became hopeful again.

Next, he was to go into seclusion to refine Small Returning Pills.

Li An then took his leave and returned to his own residence.

Upon hearing of his success in Foundation Establishment, the physician Liao Yong and the Talisman Master Wang Can both came to visit, their attitudes very respectful, no longer addressing him as a peer but as a senior, and even brought some congratulatory gifts.

After sending them off.

Li An started to think carefully.

First was Xu Qiuhui's probing.

This woman was meticulous and insightful, indeed difficult to deal with, and she seemed to have already begun linking Li An with Wei Ming.

Her attempts today failed. Having lived several lives, Li An naturally wouldn't reveal anything in his demeanor and the like.

But, she would most likely continue to investigate in this direction!

Next was the issue with Zhang Deyi.

From now on, Li An was tied to Gu Hong and her master.

If Li An's suspicion was correct, and Zhang Deyi was indeed taken over by some entity, then Li An would be in more danger than Gu Hong and her master.

If intense methods were used against Gu Hong and her master, Zhang Deyi's soul would resist fiercely, but against Li An...there would be no such issue.

Li An couldn't help but sigh. The Immortal Dao was perilous, and despite trying every method to avoid trouble, it was inevitable to become entangled in conflicts.

You think you can live unperturbed, but it's not that simple.

"It's time to relocate..."

Li An had a thought.

After Foundation Establishment, White Tiger City held no strategic significance for him.

Staying would only invite more trouble.

Moreover, he now possessed a certain level of strength enough to stand on his own.

He decided that once his cultivation stabilized, he would leave!

He calmed his mind and began to internally observe his Life Seed.

Above the Dantian, in comparison, the tree of the Life Seed was now equivalent to a small sapling about half a meter tall in the outside world.

When he felt the new branch sprouting from the Life Seed, a familiar sensation emerged, as if every organ and bone in his body was inexplicably active, wanting to establish a connection with this branch.

"To strengthen a certain part?"

Li An murmured inwardly, he pondered repeatedly, and eventually concentrated his focus, urging the Spirit Platform to connect with the Life Seed!

The Spirit Platform was an extremely important and mysterious place in cultivation, the locus of spiritual awareness and the origin of Divine Sense, roughly located at the forehead.

In Li An's view, the enhancement of Divine Sense and Spiritual Power was of utmost benefit to him.

Under the influence of the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, the branches of the Life Seed and Li An's Spirit Platform formed a mysterious connection.

At that moment, Li An suddenly felt an unprecedented clarity in his mind, his spirit doubled, and his Divine Sense grew rapidly!

With a thought, everything within a kilometer radius was vividly mirrored in his mind.

"Indeed, it's strengthening!"

Li An was extremely delighted.

His Divine Sense, which previously only spanned 800 meters, had now skyrocketed to a kilometer.

It's known that usually, a cultivator's Divine Sense is fixed with their realm, only increasing when breaking realms, such as moving from Early-Stage to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Li An's current strength and reach of Divine Sense could already rival those of Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment experts.

Moreover, he clearly felt that after linking with the Life Seed, his Divine Sense would likely grow day by day.

Aside from the most obvious Divine Sense, his mind was extraordinarily clear, and many previously blurred memories were becoming clearer.

Memory improvement!

"It seems that every new branch from the Life Seed will connect with a part of my body, achieving enhancement..."

This thought filled Li An with hope.

…

In the days that followed, Li An remained closed-off, continuously stabilizing his Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

According to his calculations, he would be able to leave White Tiger City in just two months.

Half a month later, one morning.

Li An's door was suddenly knocked on.

"Coming."

Li An opened the door, and it was Guo Xiaoxiao who stood there!

She was wearing a red, fitted gauze dress, her figure graceful, smiling like a flower, her eyes glistening with tears, she said, "Having heard of Wei Senior's Foundation Establishment, the junior has come to visit."

Li An was caught by surprise, "Guo Daoist, please come in—"

Guo Xiaoxiao walked into the lounge and said, "Wei Senior, this is a small token of my respect, please do not disdain it."

She was straightforward, handing Li An a jade slip.

Li An took the jade slip, glanced at it, and was immediately stunned, "Guo Daoist, such a treasure... how can Wei Ming accept it?"

What Guo Xiaoxiao gave him was a Tier Two Array's inheritance!

This kind of item was considered priceless. If auctioned, it would fetch no less than thousands of Spirit Stones.

It was an irresistible temptation for an Array Master.

This gift was too substantial.

"Wei Senior, please don't refuse, I actually have a favor to ask."

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with gentle waves.

"Please, Guo Daoist, let me hear it first."

Guo Xiaoxiao said, "The junior wishes to ask Senior's help in refining a batch of Tier Two Arrays."

A batch?

Li An couldn't help but frown slightly, "How many arrays does Guo Daoist mean by a batch?"

"Three or four," Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, "Specifically, it hasn't been decided yet, but no more than four!"

Li An pondered for a moment, this was more or less considered a fair exchange!

"I don't see why not… but currently, I'm not yet a Tier Two Array Master, it might take some time for Guo Daoist to wait."

"How long might it take?"

"At most a dozen or twenty years, at least five to eight years."

Li An was very sincere, "My aptitude is somewhat dull, achieving Tier Two Array Master is not an easy task."

Guo Xiaoxiao's elegant eyebrows twisted slightly, that's too long, isn't it??

"Um... can Wei Senior speed things up a bit, perhaps within two years?"

Li An looked quite hesitant but after repeatedly feeling the jade slip, he was clearly reluctant and couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Alright, I will try my best!"

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, immediately getting up, "In that case, many thanks to Wei Senior for the assistance!"

"I won't disturb Senior's cultivation anymore, farewell."

With that, she gracefully left.

After she left, Li An carefully examined the array's content with his Divine Sense.

"This array... has issues!"

The thought instantly alerted Li An.
