Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 A strange realm

. After hearing Pei Yingyao’s words,

Li Changan remained respectful and sincere.

“Sharing your worries isn’t a waste of time.”

“Your personality is quite similar to that of my foolish disciple,”

Pei Yingyao said, and something clicked in her mind.

A rare smile crossed her icy face.

“Well, since you’re so kind, I can’t let you work in vain. Take this jade token.”

She produced a jade token.

The word “Pei” was engraved on the front, identical to the one she had given Li Changan last time.

In other words ,

another favor!

Li Changan was delighted; he had come for this very reason, and he quickly took the token.

“Thank you, Senior Pei!”

“No need to thank me. I should thank you for avenging my disciple.”

Pei Yingyao shook her head slightly, then pulled out a small booklet from her bosom.

This contained her insights into cultivation, which she also gave to Li Changan as a bonus.

“I’m a sword cultivator, so this collection of cultivation tips probably won’t be of much use to you. Feel free to take a look.”

“Yes!”

Li Changan respectfully extended his hand and took the booklet.

Most sword cultivators possess gold spiritual roots.

Li Changan, on the other hand, was merely a wood spiritual root cultivator, cultivating his body and mind.

While he wielded a sword, his swordsmanship was mediocre, not as sharp as that of a sword cultivator.

Therefore, this collection of tips wouldn’t be of much use to him.

But after all, it was the cultivation tips of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so a look wouldn’t hurt.

“Perhaps, this collection of tips could be useful to Su Yuyan,”

Li Changan thought to himself.

Su Yuyan was also a gold spiritual root sword cultivator, her swordsmanship equally sharp and domineering.

After putting the booklet away

, Li Changan left without further ado.

…

That afternoon,

Li Changan arrived at Zhou Xuan’s residence.

“Fellow Daoist Li, what’s the good news?”

Zhou Xuan smiled broadly, pouring spiritual tea for Li Changan with a friendly attitude.

Because every time he completed a task for Li Changan, he received a generous reward from him.

Li Changan bowed and said, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, I need more treasures to help monster beasts advance, preferably earth-attributed treasures.”

“Earth-attributed?”

Zhou Xuan was stunned. He had assumed Li Changan would continue collecting water-attributed treasures.

He was puzzled, but didn’t ask any further questions. Perhaps everything was directed by the Foundation Establishment Master behind Li Changan.

Asking too many questions

wouldn’t benefit him.

He just needed to do his job honestly and collect his reward.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I’ll do my best to help you.”

“Okay, thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou.”

To reassure him, Li Changan paid him some of the reward in advance.

After receiving the reward,

Zhou Xuan’s smile widened.

…

That same night,

he shared a piece of information about earth-attributed treasures.

“Fellow Daoist Li, my cousin Zhou Yu has a piece of ‘Heavy Spiritual Soil’ that increases the success rate of earth-attributed monster beasts advancing by half, and it can be combined with other treasures.”

“Oh?”

Li Changan’s heart fluttered.

He immediately asked, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, is your cousin willing to sell?”

“Not yet, but don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Li, I will definitely convince her!”

Zhou Xuan patted his chest and promised, his tone full of confidence.

Li Changan didn’t rush him.

He simply said he would wait for his good news.

…

For some time after that,

no new news came from Zhou Xuan.

Clearly,

this matter was not as easy as he had said.

Li Changan was not anxious. After all, the Black Water Turtle had advanced, and his situation was much safer than before.

One day,

inside the house,

he sat cross-legged, adjusting his state to its peak.

The Black Water Turtle beside him was also adjusting its form.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an said in a deep voice, “Xiao Hei, begin! Test your talent for borrowing magic!”

Upon hearing this, the Black Water Turtle immediately unleashed its spell.

Countless gentle streams of water-based spiritual energy emanated from its body, slowly merging into Li Chang’an’s meridians.

“The magical power of a second-level spirit beast is truly extraordinary. It’s countless times stronger than before.”

Li Chang’an could sense this change firsthand; after all, he had frequently borrowed magic before the Black Water Turtle’s breakthrough.

At this moment,

his aura steadily climbed, instantly breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

A few breaths later, his aura surged again, reaching the ninth level.

Before the Black Water Turtle’s breakthrough, the ninth level was the limit of the human-turtle fusion.

And now,

Li Chang’an’s aura continued to rise, unwavering!

From the initial stage of the ninth level, it soared all the way to its peak.

A moment later,

his entire body trembled, and an even more powerful aura erupted, as if he had broken through into another realm!

Weaker than Foundation Establishment, yet far stronger than the ninth level of Qi Refining.

“What realm is this?”

Li Chang’an marveled.

At this point, the Black Water Turtle’s borrowed magic had reached its limit.

Li Chang’an sensed his own strength, and his confusion grew.

“What a bizarre realm! Could it be called pseudo-Foundation Establishment? Or quasi-Foundation Establishment?”

He had come into contact with several Foundation Establishment masters, such as Zhou Sheng and Zheng Qingqing, and had personally experienced the intensity of their auras.

Therefore,

he knew full well that his current strength couldn’t compare to a true Foundation Establishment.

“I’ve never heard of this realm before.”

Li Chang’an entered the courtyard and casually cast a few spells.

These spells were incredibly powerful, any one of which could easily kill a ninth-level Qi Refining expert. He already had some semblance of Foundation Establishment.

Then,

Li Chang’an suddenly realized:

Between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, there lies the realm of False Core.

The magic power at this level is slightly weaker than that of Golden Core, but much stronger than Foundation Establishment.

“Perhaps my current situation is similar to False Core, so could it be called False Foundation Establishment?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Regardless,

he was quite satisfied with his current strength. After   all,

the Black Water Turtle’s talent for borrowing magic had its limits; it couldn’t possibly lend all of its own mana to Li Changan.

“Try the effect of the talisman.”

Li Changan returned to the room and retrieved the talisman paper and spiritual ink needed. Then,   he sat cross-legged, grasping the second-level Qingxin Talisman Brush, and began drawing the Blood Sword Talisman.   In this pseudo-foundation-building state,   the drawing was effortless, almost a single stroke, and in no time, the entire Blood Sword Talisman was complete!   ”Not bad!”   Li Changan smiled.   This time, drawing the talisman was much easier than before, without any pressure on mana.   ”Now I can try for a fine talisman.”   …   For the next few months,   Li Changan continued to attempt to draw a fine talisman of the second-level, lower grade.   Despite repeated failures, he made significant progress.   He was confident   that he would soon succeed in drawing a fine talisman.   …   At this point,   Huang Feng could no longer sit still.   ”It’s been so long, and there’s still no news. Brother, are you sure everything’s going well?”   ”Lu Yuanji must have failed,”   Huang Liang’s expression turned slightly grim.   He had repeatedly promised Lu Yuanji that he would not fail.   But… he had contacted Lu Yuanji many times   recently   , but received no response.   Moreover, after Lu Yuanji disguised himself as Qiao Shan, the lease on the house expired and he did not renew it.   All this showed that   he had most likely fallen into Li Changan’s hands!   (End of this chapter)
