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

Hearing what the other party said, Li Lan's heart stirred slightly.

The amount of information contained in these words was considerable.

The other party was actually a demonic cultivator?

And he also mistook himself for an evil cultivator of the demonic path.

Li Lan realized that his previous guess might have been inaccurate.

The other party's purpose might not simply be to covet wealth.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking about these things.

Li Lan pretended to be apologetic and cupped his hands, saying:

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist, the situation was urgent earlier. The reason I did that was because I had unspeakable secrets..."

He had only spoken halfway.

Two black shadows suddenly sprang out from the shadows of the bushes on both sides.

The verdant honeysuckle vines intertwined together, forming a large net.

It was cast over the coolie cultivator on the opposite side.

But this person seemed to have expected it.

It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

The moment the two black shadows appeared, he nimbly dodged them in advance.

At the position where he had been standing, two spirit bean soldiers made entirely of wood revealed their figures.

"Hehe, as fellow demonic cultivators, there's no need to bring out the spells from the Demonic Sect's inner treasury to embarrass yourselves, right?"

Saying that.

The coolie cultivator sized up the two spirit bean soldiers a few times.

Immediately, a hint of surprise appeared in his pupils.

"Although these spirit bean soldiers are rough in texture, they are quite lifelike and usable."

"Fellow Daoist actually has such great talent to perfect this incomplete Art of Scattering Beans into Soldiers to such an extent?"

In the world of cultivation.

Ordinary cultivators who obtain incomplete techniques and spells usually choose to exchange them for cultivation resources.

Few cultivators are willing to walk the path that predecessors have not walked, spending a lot of effort and price to study and complete the subsequent content on their own.

Those who are not sufficiently talented, even if they are lucky enough to complete the spells and can use them normally.

They often pay a painful price.

This is unacceptable to most cultivators.

But the evil cultivators of the demonic path are different.

They like to delve into this way the most.

Even if they have to pay the price of skinning and cramping, they will not hesitate.

Demonic Sect's inner treasury?

Li Lan's face remained unchanged, but he was secretly pondering in his heart.

Judging from the other party's tone, the Art of Scattering Beans into Soldiers was a spell stored in the Demonic Sect's inner treasury.

Perhaps.

The remnant copy of 《Secret Transmission of Qimen Spells》 in the Guangji Temple's Sutra Depository was brought in by the demonic cultivator who infiltrated it.

Perhaps.

To be bolder and think deeper.

Is there a possibility.

That most of the incomplete techniques and spells in all the sects were deliberately sent in by the demonic cultivators?

Thinking of this.

Li Lan suddenly remembered something.

Back then, at the Dust Washing and Entering Dao Ceremony, he seemed to have heard Elder Jian Chen mention it.

The remnant copy of 《Mixed Yuan Five Elements True Art》 that he cultivated was obtained by the other party from a relic.

Li Lan didn't think much about it at first.

But now he is very suspicious of the true origin of this technique.

It might as well be that this technique also came from the Demonic Sect's inner treasury.

Li Lan still remembered.

The reaction of the demonic cultivator before his death when he went to Jiuhua County City.

The other party recognized at a glance what kind of technique he was cultivating.

He kept saying something about a misunderstanding.

Li Lan didn't understand the deep meaning at the time.

But he probably understands it now.

The other party obviously regarded him as a demonic cultivator lurking and infiltrating the Guangji Temple, which is why he was like that.

Continuing to think carefully, the two robberies of the Immortal Ship back then seemed to have an answer as well.

It can be seen from the subsequent abnormality of Tian Linggen Liu Yan.

The other party and a group of Guangji Temple disciples must have been secretly tampered with.

Maybe this is the legendary seizing of the body?

In addition.

Elder Jian Chen's actions at the time were also quite suspicious.

He, a strong Foundation Establishment cultivator, was so careless.

He allowed a group of demonic cultivators who only had Qi Refining first or second layer to take advantage of the loopholes and kill into the Immortal Ship cabin.

No matter how you look at it, this is not normal.

At first, Li Lan was still comforting himself.

The other party may have been held back by something, which prevented him from freeing up his hands.

But after experiencing the Stalagmite Ridge incident and personally experiencing how big the gap between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage is.

He no longer made excuses for the other party.

It can be seen from the fact that Zhang Jingyuan, the enforcer of the Human Emperor Palace, was still able to suppress two Qi Refining stage cultivators in full condition when he was on the verge of death.

The gap between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Qi Refining stage is like a chasm, which is extremely difficult to cross.

The excuse of not being able to free up his hands is too far-fetched.

In summary.

Li Lan now has sufficient reason to suspect that Elder Jian Chen is probably a member of the Demonic Sect.

Describing it is cumbersome, but the above thoughts are only a moment's matter.

Seeing that the other party was silent, and on the surface, he seemed to be fine.

The coolie cultivator was even more surprised in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist, doesn't the cost of the Art of Scattering Beans into Soldiers after the Demonic Sect's inner treasury is improved require you to pick out a meridian from your body before you can successfully cast the spell?"

"How come I see that you seem to be fine?"

"Could it be that you have perfected this spell on your own, and you have managed to optimize this cost?"

Demonic Sect cultivators spend a lot of time researching and pondering incomplete techniques.

There have indeed been examples of people with outstanding talents who have managed to greatly reduce the cost of casting spells.

But this probability is extremely slim. Meeting it once in a lifetime can be considered as smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

Therefore.

In the eyes of the coolie cultivator looking at Li Lan.

In addition to hatred, there was also a hint of greed.

He was thinking about what to do to get the other party to take the initiative to explain this improved Art of Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

What he wanted was the spell on Li Lan, but what Li Lan wanted was his life.

The two spirit bean soldiers moved again after failing to hit with one strike.

The wooden puppet opened its big mouth and spat out another section of green vine.

As Li Lan chanted the spell, the vine grew in the wind, turning into a honeysuckle vine as thick as a python.

Seeing this, the coolie cultivator.

Was not nervous, but his eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist actually thought of hiding this wood-attributed spell auxiliary material in this wooden puppet."

"It's really a whimsical idea!"

"When fighting with others, it can also have a surprising effect."

"If you are not careful, the other party may really be tricked by you."

"However, this method is useless to me."

"There are also three spirit bean soldiers hidden in the bushes thirty steps to the right rear, ten steps to the left rear, and fifteen steps directly behind, right?"

"Fellow Daoist doesn't need to hide it anymore, how many more spirit bean puppets are there, use them all together."

"I will accept them all."

After the coolie cultivator finished speaking, he did not dodge this time.

He opened his mouth and spat out a waterfall-like stream of water.

Dispersing all the large mass of honeysuckle vines.

The spirit bean soldiers that followed were suddenly slowed down by this attack.

The coolie cultivator did not hesitate.

He took out a sea urchin-shaped magic weapon the size of a fist from his backhand.

He threw it out with a flick of his hand, intending to destroy the two spirit bean soldiers whose mobility was restricted by the water flow.

Although these spirit bean soldiers are weak in their ability to injure enemies, they were all carefully refined by Li Lan.

How could he really let the other party get his wish?

A pale white light flew out, colliding with the sea urchin-shaped magic weapon impartially.
