The year passes with swift and powerful arrows, and the time comes with sharp and sharp strings.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
In the past three years, Li Ping'an traveled back and forth between Zhuye Peak and Tongtian Peak.
The purpose of being at Bamboo Leaf Peak is to work and refine elixirs.
The medicine valley in Tongtian Peak needs to be taken care of, and Elder Qingfeng, who is not growing up, also needs someone to take care of him.
Three meals a day cannot be missed.
The busy days gave Li Pingan a sense of satisfaction.
Recently, Elder Qingfeng is preparing to go out.
I heard it will take at least four to five years.
So early in the morning, Li Ping'an went out to get some wine.
He buried all the wine in the cellar of Longtanling, took it out, packed it with a storage ring, and brought it to Qingfeng.
He warned: "I put the wine in the storage ring for you. Don't drink too much at one time, or you will get drunk easily.
Drinking can make things worse, especially now that there is chaos outside.
Remember, proceed with caution.
Write to me once a month..."
Qingfeng nodded, "Oh, I understand, I understand."
Yun Shu, who came to see him off, smiled and thought to himself: "Who is the master of the two of them?"
"If someone bullies you when Master is away, don't have a direct conflict with them. Wait until Master comes back."
Li Ping'an nodded, "Disciple understands that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall."
"And..." Qingfeng glanced at the other people around him and conveyed what he was going to say next to Li Ping'an.
"After I leave, after a while, I will not go to Zhuye Peak again.
In the past few years, you have earned enough spiritual stones.
Let's go back to Tongtian Peak. I always feel that something is wrong in Shushan, so be careful of the people around you.
If possible, find a safe, inconspicuous job."
After leaving this sentence.
The figures of Qingfeng and several elders quickly swept out of Shushan.
Be careful of those around you?
Li Ping'an frowned slightly. Could it be that Qingfeng noticed that there were bad people among the people in Shushan?
Although Qingfeng is usually very carefree, he should not tell lies on this kind of issue.
He drew a big question mark in his mind about this issue.
........
On this day, Li Pingan was instructing a disciple to refine medicine.
"Senior Brother Li, I really didn't expect that you would have such a profound understanding of elixirs when you started so late."
The disciple's name is Tang Zhen, an alchemist from Shushan.
"It's just based on experience." Li Ping'an said modestly.
"Senior Brother Li, please stop being humble.
It would be great if I could have the ability to refine medicine like Senior Brother Li, but it’s a pity that with my age and qualifications..."
Tang Zhen sighed.
Li Ping'an comforted him with a few words.
At this time, Tang Zhen suddenly changed the subject.
"Senior Brother Li, let me reveal a secret to you."
"oh?"
Tang Zhen glanced around and lowered his voice, "Reliable news is that a group of evil cultivators will appear on Yunsu Mountain, fifty miles away in Qingfeng Town."
Li Ping'an's expression remained unchanged, "Shouldn't the sect be informed of this kind of news?"
"This group of evil cultivators are not high in cultivation, not very strong, and they have a lot of spirit stones, so I think..."
Monopoly?
"Why do you tell me such a good thing?" Li Ping'an asked.
Tang Zhen said: "Although that group of evil cultivators are not strong, they are large in number, so I'm afraid there may be some risks given my strength.
If Senior Brother Li can help, there will definitely be no problem.
After it's done, how about we split the spiritual stone 50-50 between us?"
Li Pingan smiled and said nothing.
Why does it smell like a conspiracy?
He remembered Qingfeng's reminder to him before leaving.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
You can earn spiritual stones safely by refining medicine, so why take risks.
Moreover, the person who proposed this plan was someone who was not too familiar with it.
If the target were Jing Yu or Chang Qing, Li Ping'an might consider giving it a try.
If those evil cultivators hide their cultivation.
Or perhaps, this Tang Zhen has actually secretly planned with these evil cultivators.
I'm going to trick myself, the alchemist, out of here and bury me in a trap...
Regardless of whether you think too much or not, nothing will happen if you don’t go.
"I have no interest in this kind of thing."
"Senior Brother Li, this is a good opportunity."
Li Pingan said calmly: "Junior Brother Tang, you should find someone else. I will not report this matter to the sect."
Tang Zhen's eyes showed a bit of disappointment, and he said helplessly: "Okay."
.........
A few days later, Li Pingan met Tang Zhen again.
I curiously asked him if he had obtained the batch of spiritual stones from evil cultivators?
Tang Zhen's expression was somewhat complicated, and his eyebrows trembled slightly.
"...Haha, something unexpected happened."
The tone was a bit disappointed and a bit indifferent.
No one can hear anything unusual.
Suddenly, Tang Zhen noticed that Lao Niu on the side was staring at him with bright eyes.
This guy...isn't he observing my expression?
The thought passed away in a flash.
Tang Zhen pretended to be quite casual and said: "Um...Senior Brother Li, I heard that you are good at playing Erhu.
I met an old gentleman before who entered Taoism through music.
In a few days, he will pass by Qingyun Town, I wonder if you are interested in meeting him."
Li Ping'an smiled and said, "I've been a little busy lately, so let's forget about it."
Tang Zhen said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Li, this is a rare opportunity!
Whatever work you have on hand, I can help you."
"Oh?" Li Ping'an said deliberately, "Junior Brother Tang, you have been very interested in me recently. Is there any ulterior motive?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Zhen's pupils suddenly trembled.
I sighed in my heart, "Fortunately, this guy is blind!"
After brewing his emotions for a moment, he asked, "Senior Brother Li, what do you mean by this?"
The tone of voice was perfect, perfectly explaining the surprise and confusion.
Unexpectedly, Li Ping'an smiled lightly and said, "Just kidding, but I have to go into seclusion to refine medicine recently, so I really don't have time."
"That's such a shame."
After Tang Zhen left
Lao Niu came over and told Li Ping'an all the facial details of what the other party had just said.
