That night, the wind and snow continued, but in a small courtyard of "Saint Demon City", a pair of master and servant were talking softly, feeling the world in their hearts.

Li Yan told Qianji the origin of the Nian Festival. Although it was just a mortal legend, Qianji listened with interest. Only then did he learn that there is another Demon Beast called the Nian Beast.

He also knew what it was like to watch the New Year's Eve, so he drank and chatted with Li Yan, waiting for the coming of midnight, watching the New Year's Eve, and ushering in the new year...

In March, Yangchun brought about the recovery of the earth. After Qianji opened the store, he started a new day of activities. As long as the business was not too busy, Li Yan would rarely appear in front.

Qianji is also happy with his busy schedule. He has a feeling of happiness about it. He will live another life and be able to come to the Immortal Spirit Realm that he never dreamed of. He feels that this kind of cultivation is very fulfilling.

In such a mood, although he did not practice in seclusion for a long time, in just a few years, his cultivation level has been improving by leaps and bounds, and he has almost reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage peak.

After breaking through Nascent Soul, the physical body of Qianji was sealed by Li Yan just as it stabilized its realm. Li Yan cannot allow the original owner of the physical body to cultivate too deeply, as long as he breaks through the Nascent Soul Realm.

This is in line with Qianji's original great realm, and it is not easy to cause trouble when seizing the soul. After Qianji successfully seizes the body, although the physical body is still in a state that has just broken through Nascent Soul, it has not been long.

However, he had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for quite some time, and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth still existed in his soul's memory. It would not be difficult to practice and improve in the future. Coupled with the joyful state of mind, this made his practice very smooth.

After he learned about Li Yan's purpose, he immediately knew that this master was going to trick people again! He was extremely excited about this.

It had been too many years since he had been with Li Yan, and he had planned something like this, which gave him a very familiar feeling.

Although he still hasn't found the target in the past few years since he came out, Qianji is not in a hurry about it. He feels that there is no problem with this matter.

He had no doubt that Li Yan's scheme would fail. In his memory, whenever this master wanted to scheme against someone, he would always do it without leaving any stone unturned.

If Li Yan knew about his thoughts, he would definitely roll his eyes. His various calculations have always been done as much as possible. He doesn't have that much confidence. In fact, they are just gambling.

Soon the time came to noon. Generally speaking, this time is also the time when fewer customers come to the door. Qianji also planned to take the opportunity to rest.

Just when he put a few more Gu insects into the counter, opened the small restrictions one by one, and introduced Jade Slip next to him, he felt the light in the store dim.

He quickly looked back, and two figures appeared in his sight, but in his Divine Sense, it was still empty.

"Strong!"

This was Qianji's first reaction. There was no aura on the two people he saw, which meant that the strength of the other party was too high for him, so he couldn't sense it.

Qianji was already used to this. He thought he had pretty good strength at first. After getting to know Immortal Spirit Realm, he discovered that the so-called powerful monk Nascent Soul is nothing if you say it here. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be regarded as almost the same.

Nascent Soul, the powerful monk in the Mortal Realm who sees the dragon but never sees its tail. Qianji doesn't know what's going on outside the city, but on the streets of "Saint Demon City", almost one out of ten people will be Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Nascent Soul Realm is actually still a low-level monk in the Immortal Spirit Realm. Of course, the ones that appear most on the street are the lower-level monks below Nascent Soul...

Qianji The two people behind him entered the door at the same time, blocking the incoming sunlight. On the left was an unusually handsome young man, wearing a moon-white robe, with a mutton-fat jade pendant hanging around his waist, glowing with a warm luster.

The young man's face is like a crown jade, his eyebrows are like a painting, his nose is like a hanging gallbladder, his lips are painted with vermilion, two sword eyebrows fly into the temples, a pair of red and phoenix eyes are clear and lively, his black hair is half tied with a plain silver hairpin, and the remaining green silk hangs down on his shoulders.

His figure is as tall and straight as a pine tree, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, revealing a pair of hands with slender knuckles like jade, and a certain air of grace in every gesture!

On the right is a middle-aged man, also wearing a moonlight robe, but with the same slender figure and extraordinary handsome appearance. Qianji did not show any surprise after seeing the two of them.

They are now in "Saint Demon City". He has seen too many amazing-looking people over the years and has long been accustomed to them.

But his eyes couldn't help but light up, because the two people who came were monks from "Holy Devil Palace". In the past few years, there have been some "Holy Devil Palace" monks in "Gu Xingyuan".

But after final confirmation, neither of them was the target that Li Yan was waiting for. Today, the cultivation level of these two people is stronger. Qianji can only be described as unfathomable.

He had already been told by Li Yan about "Holy Devil Palace", and he could judge the approximate cultivation level of the other party through his clothing.

These two people should be monks Void Refinement Realm, "Holy Devil Palace" and "Body Integration Realm" monks and above are yellow, black gold, red gold, etc., while Void Refinement Realm is moon white.

"I have met two seniors. I wonder what the seniors need? I will try my best to provide some suggestions, which may reduce the waste of seniors' precious time!"

Qianji Although thoughts quickly rose in his mind, a proper smile appeared on his face, he bent down and nodded, and said flatteringly.

However, these two people didn't pay attention to Qianji's meaning. They just glanced at Qianji, their eyes just swept across the store quickly, and they walked slowly towards the counter.

Without speaking, the two of them looked at the small restrictions inside the counter! Qianji There was light quietly flashing through his eyes, and he could clearly see the face of the young man in the moon-white robe at this moment.

However, the smile on his face remained, but he did not continue to greet him. He had seen too many people like this, and naturally knew that he could not continue to ask enthusiastically at this time, otherwise it would make the other person disgusted.

Qianji just stood there with a respectful attitude, but he was already thinking quickly in his heart, and he had to quickly find a reason to inform his master.

Li Yan is the information obtained by Soul Search, so he also knows the appearance of the target. He has already told Qianji what the target looks like, and now the young man matches the characteristics of the target, both in terms of clothing level and appearance.

It's just that Qianji couldn't rush to call Li Yan out. After the two people came in, they didn't say a word. He could only wait for the other party's next move.

Qianji can't go to Li Yan without any warning, and without any reason, he can't decide on certain things, or needs to ask the shopkeeper for instructions.

"The master is the master. Sure enough, we achieved our goal by opening a store here!"

Qianji thought proudly in his heart, Li Yan is still the devil who has no plans left.

The store was quiet, the middle-aged monk was still looking around, and the young man in a moon-white robe had begun to look at the small restrictions on the counter.

Since entering the store, the two of them have not said a word to each other. Qianji, on the other hand, has a respectful face, as if he is waiting for orders at any time.

"Shopkeeper, are all the Gu insects you are selling here?"

In the continuous silence, about a hundred breaths passed, while the middle-aged monk was still looking at the Gu worms on the counter, the young man in the moon-white robe finally spoke.

He also stood up straight at this time, and his expression when he looked at Qianji was completely cold and indifferent. He was not polite to a little Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Qianji was moved when he heard this. The meaning of this person's words is quite a lot. He seems not to have taken a fancy to the Gu insect here, but also seems to want to know the strength of this store?

The other party's question is about "gu bugs for sale". Another meaning is, do you have any poison bugs that you don't want to sell? If you are just worried that others can't afford the price, then don't worry, just report it...

What Qianji is waiting for is the other party's inquiry. He will look at the questions asked by the other party and see if he can find an excuse to go to Li Yan.

If the other party just asks about the price of a certain kind of Gu insect, or a simple question like its function, he certainly cannot use this as an excuse. It just means that this shop has hired a fool as a clerk.

Unexpectedly, the young man in the moon-white robe just opened his mouth and asked such a question. This is really difficult for him as a store clerk...

Qianji's always smiling face looked startled at first, and then showed a look of embarrassment.

"Senior, this... we have to ask our boss for this. Why don't you two wait here for a moment, and I'll go to the backyard to ask my boss for instructions. I'll be there soon!"

The young man in the moon-white robe did not speak anymore, but nodded slightly. The middle-aged monk was still observing the Gu insects on the counter and ignored the conversation between the two.

"Senior, please wait a moment!"

Qianji's face was once again filled with spring breeze, and then he turned around, stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain after a few steps, and walked quickly towards the back...

Qianji came to the backyard and saw no one in the yard, so he went straight to the room where Li Yan lived. As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, the closed door suddenly opened.

With Qianji taking care of the front of the store, Li Yan seems to be more leisurely. Except for occasionally going out to buy some Gu insects, he spends the rest of the time staying in the backyard room.

Apart from practicing, he spent the rest of his time studying voodoo. In more than ten years, Li Yan's voodoo skills also increased greatly. He was asked to cultivate and raise some rare or special voodoo insects, but of course it still didn't work.

But raising ordinary voodoo insects is no longer a big problem, especially if you understand the voodoo technique. After all, voodoo insects are also a kind of Demon Beast, but a very special kind of Demon Beast.

Therefore, in some basic ways, they still have something in common with other Demon Beasts. Li Yan has seen more than hundreds and thousands of kinds of Demon Beasts.

In addition, Li Yan has traveled all over the world and has a wide range of knowledge. Even the experience of Body Integration Cultivator cannot be said to be better than his.

This makes Li Yan understand that the voodoo technique has its own uniqueness. Now as long as he is not allowed to use the voodoo technique, he can only speak with his mouth.

It really makes too many people think that he is a person who is very proficient in the art of Gu. Li Yan has covered himself with a tiger's skin.
