Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

Once he had made up his mind, Li Qian no longer sat there listlessly.

Waiting is always the least reliable option.

He got up and left through the secret passage.

The sky outside was bright, the courtyard was quiet, and the wind chimes on the eaves trembled gently in the wind.

Li Qian sat down on the rosewood stool and clapped his hands lightly twice.

Hearing the commotion, the maid Ye Mei, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly pushed the door open and entered timidly, asking, "Second Young Master, what are your orders?"

Li Qian reverted to his usual lazy and carefree Erlang demeanor.

He reached out and gently pinched her peach-shaped cheek, then smiled and said, "Go and invite Uncle Jia over; I have something important to discuss with him."

The beautiful and graceful Ye Mei blushed as if she were thinking of something.

He gave a low reply, turned around, and quickly retreated.

Before long, Javi strolled over.

The old man was still impeccably dressed, but his steps were slightly slower than I remembered.

Li Qian stared at that familiar old face and was slightly taken aback.

In the simulation, the old man managed the Li family's affairs both internally and externally, working tirelessly for half his life, and his contributions were truly remarkable.

He subconsciously raised his hand and gently patted Javier on the shoulder.

"Uncle Jia, you've worked hard these past few days."

Javi paused, his expression suddenly turning strange.

He thought to himself, "I haven't seen my second young master for more than half a day."

Why did my mood suddenly change, and I suddenly feel a bit sad?

Could it be... that he's caused another major disaster and needs to clean up the mess?

Thinking of this, the old steward quickly cupped his hands in greeting, becoming even more cautious: "Second Young Master, please speak frankly. But what is it that requires this old servant to clean up your mess?"

Li Qian coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

Without beating around the bush, he simply smiled and said, "No, no, Uncle Jia, I want to join the Demon Slayer Bureau. I wonder if there's any way to do so?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Wei was greatly alarmed.

"The Demon Slayer Division?"

"Absolutely not, Second Young Master, that place is no ordinary martial arts school or escort agency."

"If the master knew I allowed you to join the Demon Slayer Division, he would tear my head off."

Li Qian looked at Jia Wei, his expression more serious than ever before, and said slowly:

"Uncle Jia, do you think I'm still fooling around?"

Jia Wei was slightly taken aback.

The second young master still had that dashing and handsome face.

But when his brows and eyes darkened, he seemed to resemble the old man in his youth.

There is a sense of pressure, as if one's blood and energy are restrained and one's sharpness is about to be revealed.

For a moment, I felt it was unbelievable.

He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately abandoned his previous attempt to coax a child.

Li Qian said unhurriedly:

"What kind of food the Li family eats, others may not know, but you, Uncle Jia, do."

"It's a trade route, a business empire built up bit by bit with silver and lives."

"In recent years, trade routes have become increasingly treacherous. If it were just bandits blocking the way, we could hire more security escort agencies and more martial arts instructors."

"What if evil forces intervene later—"

Jia Wei frowned and remained silent for a long time.

He sighed heavily and bowed his head, saying, "Second Young Master, this old servant has remembered."

"However, this matter is ultimately beyond the control of this old servant. When you return to the manor tomorrow, I will report the truth to you."

A smile appeared on Li Qian's face.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Jia."

Jia Wei cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and took his leave.

Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief after Lao Jia's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

There were actually two reasons why he didn't go to see his father, Li Linyi, in person.

Firstly, Jia Wei had a long-standing reputation both inside and outside the Li family.

With his help, entering the Demon Slayer Division is twice as effective.

Secondly...

He had just spent a lot of money to buy a jade cabbage.

If you were to approach your father at this point, and he were to bring up old grievances, forget about the Demon Slayer Bureau; you would most likely get a beating first.

At that time, where will he put his face as an expert in the Inner Organ Realm and a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator?

Having made up his mind to join the Demon Slayer Bureau, he would definitely need to acquire some life-saving items before making any further plans.

Although I kill many demons in the simulation, I am still a novice who has never been stained with blood in reality.

……

Zhenlingzhou, Zilanfang.

The market was still bustling with people, even more so than a few days ago.

Li Qian walked through the long street and headed straight for the talisman shop.

He doesn't have many spirit stones on him right now, and his purpose in coming here is very clear.

You need to buy amulets for protection, and you also need to buy talismans for attack.

In addition, one should set aside some savings for unforeseen circumstances.

Before even entering the shop, I heard a burst of laughter.

"Fellow Daoist Li! What a coincidence!"

Li Qian looked up and saw that the newcomer was wearing a brocade-patterned blue robe, with his hair neatly combed and shiny, and a new pair of mandarin duck pendants hanging from his waist. It was Lü Zhanhua.

It's just that it's different from his frivolous and carefree attitude a few days ago.

This fellow was beaming with joy today, his eyebrows dancing with excitement.

Their steps were lighter, showing a cheerful and energetic demeanor.

Li Qian looked him up and down, his gaze lingering briefly on the jade pendant.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lü, you seem to be enjoying a wonderful day. Has something good happened?"

Lu Zhanhua immediately grinned and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, displaying a rare seriousness.

"You can't hide it from Fellow Daoist Li, you can't hide it from Fellow Daoist Li."

"A few days ago, Wanyu agreed to the marriage. In a few more days, the wedding banquet will be held."

As he spoke, his eyes and eyebrows practically lit up with excitement.

Lowering his voice, he added, "Also, thanks to her, I had a sudden inspiration a while ago and managed to break through my bottleneck. Now I'm a mid-grade first-level talisman master."

Array formations, artifacts, pills, and talismans are the four professions that earn the most spirit stones among the various arts of cultivation.

Mastering one aspect will ensure that there are absolutely no problems with one's own cultivation.

A mid-grade first-tier talisman master is already considered a top-tier master among the market's talisman masters.

Their income is incomparable to that of a low-grade talisman master.

Li Qian looked surprised.

"First-tier, mid-grade? Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lü! That's double happiness!"

Lü Zhanhua laughed heartily, clearly pleased, and raised her hand to lead Li Qian into the shop.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you've come at the right time. If you want to buy talismans today, just say the word, and I'll give you a discount."

Li Qian didn't stand on ceremony and followed him inside, scanning the talismans in the cabinet one by one.

Lu Zhanhua is about to get married and has also been promoted to a mid-grade talisman master. She is obviously in a very good mood.

I patiently helped him distinguish the quality of several talismans.

"These few Earth Talismans are reliable; they can be transformed into earth to protect the body with a surge of spiritual energy, making them suitable for those who need to engage in close combat."

"As for these two offensive talismans, one follows the sharp and aggressive path, and is called the Divine Edge Talisman."

A burst of fire energy erupted, called the Flame Rune. It's even better against those with thick flesh and blood.

Li Qian nodded after hearing this.

These are all mid-grade first-tier talismans, and their power is no different from that of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

He selected a Thick Earth Talisman, a Blazing Flame Talisman, and added several low-grade first-tier Golden Shield Talismans.

After calculating the price, he paid two spirit stones and five spirit grains, and the remaining money in his sleeve was immediately reduced by a large margin.

However, Lü Zhanhua was quite honest and didn't treat him like a sucker; on the contrary, she did offer him a considerable discount.

You should know that in the market, a mid-grade talisman usually costs at least one eight-spirit stone.

Lu Zhanhua wrapped the talisman for Li Qian, then suddenly smiled and cupped her hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Li, now that you've made it, you must come to my wedding banquet in the future."

"Since it's a joyous occasion, I'll go and ask for a cup of celebratory wine." Upon hearing this, Li Qian smiled and agreed.

Lu Zhanhua was overjoyed, but his expression suddenly turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to remind Fellow Daoist Li about."
