I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

After a month of trekking, Li Yuan and Luo Tong finally left Wugan County and arrived at the border of Shanyue County. Li Yuan looked at the continuous mountains in front of him. As long as they crossed these mountains, they would be able to reach Shanyue County.

However, even if the two return to Shanyue County, they still have to return to Zhancheng. Only after the three-month period is over can they leave the military camp and return to their own immortal clan.

At this time, the main residence of the county lord of Suiyun.

Mo Bufan stood respectfully beside an old servant with white hair and vacant eyes. Up close, he looked like a person, but from a distance, he was no different from a withered skeleton.

"Immortal, I am absolutely not lying to you. I have already investigated and found out that Li Yuan of the Li family is currently on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms. Whether he can return is still uncertain. Even if he does return from the battlefield, with your strength, Immortal, dealing with this small Li family would be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing Mo Bufan's words, the withered old servant let out a hoarse sound.

"Are you sure that after that kid from the Li family left, there's only one martial artist left who hasn't been practicing for very long?"

Mo Bufan nodded repeatedly.

"Senior, to be honest, I've heard that the Li family has never lacked the cultivation resources you need. Moreover, you should be aware that they have cultivated many spiritual fields in the mountains."

The withered old woman pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Alright, since I'm going to die anyway, if I can accumulate some resources for my descendants, they might be able to go further."

After saying that, the withered old woman seemed to have made up her mind and slowly walked towards the direction of the small fishing village.

The next day, at the Li family residence, Li Shouyi was playing with Li Shouchuan in front of the gate when an old woman, frail and elderly, slowly walked towards the residence.

"Two little kids, this old woman has just arrived in your village and wants to ask your family for a bowl of water. Please have some kindness."

Upon hearing this, Li Shouyi stood up and looked at the old woman whose face was frighteningly thin.

"Okay, grandma, please wait a moment." After saying that, Li Shouyi pulled Li Shouchuan into the courtyard and shouted loudly to the people inside.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, someone's come to cause trouble."

The sound quickly attracted the servants in the Li family courtyard, who rushed out and protected Li Shouchuan and Li Shouyi behind them.

Li Daqiang quickly came down as well. After getting down, he saw the figure standing outside the door and hurriedly went over.

"Haha, senior, what brings you to my Li family? Is there something you wish to do?"

I am Li Daqiang from the Li family. If you have any needs, I will certainly be at your service.

Upon hearing this, the old servant slowly said:

"You're too kind. I just came to ask for a bowl of water; I have no other intentions."

Li Daqiang looked at the old servant who had spoken, then gestured to the servants behind him:

"Brew the best tea from the Li family for the senior." Upon hearing this, the servant hurried to the backyard and soon brought out a pot of tea with a faint fragrance.

The old servant took the tea, drank a sip, and then put the teacup back on the tea tray.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the spiritual plants in your spiritual field are growing exceptionally well. Could it be that you come from a family renowned for cultivating spiritual plants?"

Upon hearing this, Li Daqiang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still maintained a smile.

"Haha, you flatter me, senior. These are all Prince Qinghe's properties. Our Li family is just looking after them on his behalf."

Upon hearing the name of Prince Qinghe, the old servant showed no emotion on his face, but instead slowly walked towards the Li family's sacred fields.

This is a key area of ​​the Li family, and ordinary people are naturally not allowed to trespass.

Li Daqiang swiftly blocked the old servant's path.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Li family's important territory. It would be best if you left the Li family here."

Upon hearing this, the old servant's face darkened.

"You think you can stop me?" With that, the old servant waved his hand, and two huge wind blades swept towards Li Daqiang.

"Li Daqiang sensed the old servant's aura and his expression changed drastically. Late-stage Qi Refining?"

Immediately, Li Daqiang swiftly channeled his own magical power, unleashing the only fireball spells he knew one after another. Although he blocked the old servant's attack, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Li Daqiang's mouth.

After witnessing the man's prowess, Li Daqiang's expression turned grim, and he immediately ordered his servants to take Li Shouchuan and Li Shouyi to Zhushan.

Although the two brothers were unwilling, they still obeyed Li Daqiang's words and obediently ran towards the bamboo mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, I have already stated that this place belongs to Prince Qinghe. If you continue to be obstinate, I will immediately send a message to Prince Qinghe and then label you as an evil cultivator. I wonder if you think it is worth it?"

The old servant chuckled softly.

"These people are all vying for the Foundation Establishment opportunity, how can they have time to care about your Li family? Besides, although my strength is not as good as this old ghost Qinghe, he can't stop me if I want to run away."

After saying that, the old servant launched two more spells at Li Daqiang.

Seeing the incoming spells, Li Daqiang quickly mobilized his internal magic power to form an energy shield around his body. The two spells struck Li Daqiang, causing him to vomit blood.

At this point, Li Daqiang was already struggling to withstand the old servant's attacks and retreated towards the bamboo mountain while fighting.

Just as Li Daqiang retreated to the foot of Zhushan Mountain, a roar came from the mountain, followed by a white snake more than 20 meters long.

After the white snake came down from the bamboo mountain, its cold snake eyes stared intently at the old servant.

The old servant sensed the white snake's presence and his expression turned somewhat grim.

When Li Daqiang saw the white snake come down, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Usually, only Li Yuan could communicate with this white snake. Li Daqiang had tried to get closer to it, but the white snake wouldn't let him get near.

"I never expected that your Li family would raise demonic beasts. I was blind. However, this demonic python has only recently entered the late stage of Qi Refining. I'm not sure if it can stop me."

As he spoke, the old servant's aura surged, and a silver hairpin flew out of his Qiankun bag, which then stabbed towards the white snake.

Seeing this, the white snake shrunk its body to about ten meters and then directly met the incoming hairpin.

The hairpin pierced the white snake's body, producing only a metallic clanging sound; the white snake's defenses remained unbroken.

The white snake manipulated its tail, constantly lashing at the old servant. From time to time, it would spit out white liquid from its mouth, which would corrode a hole in the stone slab as soon as it touched it.

The old servant naturally saw this scene clearly. Knowing the power of the venom, he preferred to be whipped by the white snake's tail rather than use his magical shield to resist it.

However, the old servant clearly underestimated the power of the white snake. After only three strikes, the old servant felt as if his internal organs were about to shift.

Having witnessed this, the old servant was already considering leaving.

However, the white snake had no intention of letting him leave. Its huge tail lashed out even more forcefully, giving the old servant no chance to catch his breath.

The old servant initially wanted to retreat, but faced with the relentless onslaught, he too grew somewhat angry.

"He was seen maintaining his magical shield while channeling his magic into the jade hairpin."

With the old servant's magical power infused into the jade hairpin, its tip emitted a dazzling cold light. As the old servant wielded the silver hairpin, he thrust it directly towards the white snake's body.

In an instant, the hairpin pierced the white snake's body, causing the snake to roar in pain and lash out wildly at the old servant with its tail.
