I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

Li Hanshan did not impose any restrictions on Xiao An.

First, he couldn't, and second, he trusted his intuition. Xiao An wasn't inherently bad; becoming a ghost was not her wish.

He looked at Xiao An: "Who is the cultivator controlling you?"

Xiao An said, "His name is Wang Meng, and his cultivation level is the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. He was the cultivator who hid in Heyang County back then."

Li Hanshan thought for a moment and realized who it was.

In Heyang County, there were two Foundation Establishment cultivators: one was hiding in Heyang County preparing for a surprise attack, and the other was blocking the road.

The one who blocked his way was injured by him.

Xiao An is another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

These Yinming Sect guys are so troublesome. Other sects' Foundation Establishment cultivators are just themselves, but these guys have one or even more Foundation Establishment Yin spirits in addition to themselves.

If they are not restricted and allowed to use countless living beings to refine Yin spirits, then in the end no one can defeat them.

Of course, the souls of thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary people are not as valuable as those of a Qi Refining cultivator, and Foundation Establishment cultivators are even more rare. That's why the Yinming Sect destroyed Heyang County as bait to lure out cultivators from the Hehuan Sect for a hunt.

Where are they now?

Li Hanshan inquired about the specifics.

Xiao An's expression changed: "They should be here soon. They were already planning to attack this place. I'm here to pave the way for them, to scout out the ley lines so they can set up the Soul Refining Array!"

"Are they planning to attack this place?"

Perhaps emboldened by his increased strength, Li Hanshan wasn't afraid. He simply asked, "Will the fake pill come?"

Xiao An said, "I don't know, but he should have gone after that Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. The ones who came should be Wang Meng and Chen Hua, the ones you injured."

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Plus a Foundation Establishment stage Yin spirit!

At this moment, Xiao An remembered something and reminded him again: "Wang Meng has more than just me as a Foundation Establishment Yin Soul. There is another one. They captured a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hehuan Sect and, with the help of tens of thousands of living souls from Liuhe County, refined him into a main soul. His strength has already broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Senior, you still need to be careful."

Good guy.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hehuan Sect was captured and refined into a main soul. It seems that the destruction of Liuhe County a while ago was due to them being used as fertilizer for this main soul.

I don't know who it is, but if it's Wu Tianxiong who got arrested, Li Hanshan would be very happy.

He wasn't afraid of Wu Tianxiong now, but this guy's father had just broken through to the Golden Core stage, and if the other party kept causing him trouble, it would really be a bit of a problem.

If we include this vengeful spirit, that makes four Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Two people, two ghosts.

Although Chen Hua was severely injured by him, his injuries should have healed in the past few days, and his strength should have recovered almost completely.

"One against four..."

After a brief consideration, Li Hanshan felt that it might be possible to fight, but it would definitely be very difficult.

After all, two fists can't beat four hands.

His cultivation level was far behind his opponent's. His only advantage lay in his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, his Pure Yang Meridian, and his Divine Sense Attack Technique and Flowing Light Sword Art.

As for Xiao An, she was just severely injured by Li Hanshan and doesn't have much fighting power now, but she can launch a sneak attack when Wang Meng is off guard, which might have a surprising effect.

After taking stock, Li Hanshan felt that the advantage lay with him.

"Go and persuade Liu Ruoxue first."

He decided to deal with that vixen, Liu Ruoxue.

Now, he has not only successfully established his foundation, but he has also made the flower that belongs to Liu Ruoxue bloom with three petals. This demoness cannot escape his grasp.

Thinking of this, Li Hanshan told Xiao An to wait outside so that he could be notified in time if Wang Meng and the others arrived.

He then flew back to his room at the inn.

"So it was an immortal residing in my shop! I knew it long ago; with such an extraordinary bearing, how could he be an ordinary mortal..."

The innkeeper was overjoyed.

Immortals actually came to stay at her inn.

She'd made up her mind: she'd rename the inn "Immortal's Abode" and the room Li Hanshan had stayed in "Immortal's Pavilion," charging ten taels of silver a night—no, one hundred taels! Her path to wealth was in the making!

Li Hanshan naturally had no idea what the proprietress was planning, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

After returning to his room, he made a grasping motion in the air and retrieved the Immortal-Binding Rope from Liu Ruoxue's body. Then, he used a series of taps on her body to remove the seal left by Deacon Lu.

Liu Ruoxue regained her freedom.

But as soon as the demoness regained her freedom, a flying sword flew out and attacked Li Hanshan.

Li Hanshan's expression remained unchanged. A small shield appeared in front of him, blocking the flying sword. He then said calmly, "So eager to kill me? Do you know that your life or death is in my hands?"

The next second, with a thought from him, the yin marks on Liu Ruoxue's lower abdomen lit up, and an invisible flower bloomed inside her body. With just one more thought from Li Hanshan, he could sever all of Liu Ruoxue's life force.

Liu Ruoxue clearly noticed this as well, and her expression changed.

"Shameless!"

She started swearing.

Li Hanshan sneered: "I saved you, and you kissed me first, yet you tried to kill me without any reason. You brought this upon yourself."

Liu Ruoxue's pretty face turned cold, and she waved her hand, throwing out a large number of ice spikes.

She said coldly, "Kill me if you want, don't expect me to submit!"

These ice spikes couldn't hurt Li Hanshan, but they made him frown.

Because he sensed Liu Ruoxue's emotions, this vixen was truly fearless; even in this state, she still dared to attack him.

He waved his hand to block all her attacks, then pressed her against the wall, grabbed her hand, and kissed her cold lips hard.

Liu Ruoxue wanted to bite his lips, but Li Hanshan left her in time.

"Woman, you're no match for me now. If you keep this up, I'll drag you out, strip you naked, and have my way with you in front of everyone!"

Li Hanshan coldly threatened.

Liu Ruoxue paused for a moment.

She is not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean she has nothing to fear.

Even though she had lost her innocence and Li Hanshan had been able to taste her again and again, she still couldn't accept being publicly criticized by Li Hanshan.

They still confronted him in front of ordinary people.

"The Yinming Sect is coming soon. They have four Foundation Establishment level warriors and are preparing to attack this place. I know you don't care about the lives of mortals, but I'm different. I want to do something good, so I need your cooperation to take them down!"

Seeing that his words had worked, Li Hanshan revealed his purpose.

He needed Liu Ruoxue to help him restrain a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In this way, Li Hanshan was confident that he could kill those two Yinming Sect members.

Unexpectedly, these words caused a hint of surprise in Liu Ruoxue's originally cold eyes. Her dark eyes moved up and down, as if she were re-evaluating Li Hanshan.

"You want to save this place?" she asked.

"Of course," Li Hanshan nodded.

Actually, he didn't want to be a savior. He was just annoyed by the Yinming Sect. He had almost been defeated by them before, and now that his strength had greatly improved, he naturally wanted to get revenge.

If he can handle these two Foundation Establishment cultivators, his gains will be substantial. Foundation Establishment cultivators' storage bags contain many valuable items, and upon returning to their sect, they will also receive sect contributions.

After receiving his confirmation, Liu Ruoxue's gaze changed slightly, and she said, "The two of us are not enough."

Li Hanshan released her and said calmly, "That's enough. You just need to hold back that early Foundation Establishment stage guy. Leave the rest to me."

Liu Ruoxue sheathed her flying sword, her pretty face regaining its icy expression. She looked at Li Hanshan and said earnestly:

"If you are no match for me, I will flee immediately."

"Can."

Li Hanshan nodded.

At this point, he and Liu Ruoxue reached a preliminary consensus. The demoness stopped clamoring to kill him.

But Li Hanshan realized that to control this demoness, three petals were not enough; he probably needed more than six.

Three petals sever life, six petals grasp the soul.

He refused to believe that Liu Ruoxue would still not give in after the flower had bloomed into six petals.

Liu Ruoxue sat down cross-legged and took out spirit stones to recover.

"What are you doing?"

"This will help you recover faster."

"Damn it, get out of here..."

However, not long after she recovered, she was pushed by Li Hanshan again.

Li Hanshan didn't lie to her; he genuinely wanted to help her recover.

She had suffered considerable losses these past few days, and if she were to slowly recover them on her own using spirit stones or pills, it would be impossible to do so in a short time. Going through Li Hanshan was different; it would allow Liu Ruoxue to quickly regain her fighting strength.

Liu Ruoxue was filled with grief and anger, but after realizing that he was indeed helping her recover, she finally stopped struggling.

However, her gaze toward Li Hanshan remained icy.

Li Hanshan didn't care, and even deliberately stared at her, playing a game of staring blankly at her.

In the end, he won.

After all, he was the conqueror, and with a little mischief and a barrage of glances, Liu Ruoxue would be unable to withstand it.

"See, isn't this great? You seem to be enjoying it too..."

"asshole....."

While helping Liu Ruoxue recover, Li Hanshan began to train this cold and aloof vixen, making her feel both ashamed and angry, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
