With the Little Fire Spirit following Pure Essence Old Thief, if he attempts to absorb the Little Fire Spirit into his Dantian, his life and death will be at the whim of Li Ji'an.
This potential threat being resolved so easily came as a surprise to Li Ji'an.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate in Funiu Mountain and with the remaining value of Pure Essence Old Thief in alchemy, he is in no hurry to conclude this karmic tie.
After sending off Pure Essence Old Thief, Li Ji'an felt relieved, not only because the imminent crisis was averted, but also because he gained deeper insight into Beixuan True Monarch through him.
Unless it's confirmed that the other party is a Divine Favored and the level of Dao Principles they've integrated is high, they won't easily leave the Dao Field.
This allowed Li Ji'an to cultivate more peacefully.
Now that his magical cultivation has advanced to the Middle Stage, it needs some time to stabilize.
