Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Request for Foundation Building

“You’ve interacted with him so many times, but have you ever seen the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him?”

Zhou Yu asked again.

Zhou Xuan could only shake his head.

He had indeed never seen him.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived outside Li Changan’s residence.

Zhou Yu whispered, “Let me have a good chat with him. If he truly has a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, he’ll be incredibly confident. But if he’s just faking it, he’ll be exposed soon.”

This was the reason for her visit.

She wanted to determine if Li Changan was worthy of friendship.

If he was just an ordinary casual cultivator who had stumbled upon an opportunity and lied about being valued by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then there was no need to take him too seriously.   Zhou Xuan was particularly helpless

about this .   He couldn’t argue for the time being, so he knocked on the door.   ”Is Fellow Daoist Li home?”   ”Fellow Daoist Zhou?”   Li Changan opened the courtyard door and spotted a young female cultivator who looked somewhat similar to Zhou Xuan standing next to him.   Recalling what Zhou Xuan had said earlier,   Li Changan immediately understood. This must be his cousin, Zhou Yu.   She was here today,   most likely to make a deal.   ”Please come in!”   Li Chang’an smiled, ushering the two into the courtyard.   After his cleanup, the courtyard had been nearly restored, with only a few fragments of treasure remaining. These fragments wouldn’t affect the hospitality and could be concealed with illusions.   ”Is this young lady Fellow Daoist Zhou Yu?”   Li Chang’an asked with a smile.   Zhou Yu nodded slightly, her attitude rather cold.   ”Yes!”   She had already mentally crafted a whole plot, and was about to draw Li Chang’an’s attention.   But then, a sword   on the stone table in the courtyard   caught her eye.   ”This sword…”   Zhou Yu’s heart trembled, her face slightly changing.   She sensed a very familiar sword aura   from the sword .   It had appeared at the banquet hosted by the mad Zhou family elder.   The female sword immortal, Pei Yingyao!   ”It’s Senior Pei’s sword! How could it be with Li Chang’an?”   Zhou Yu was incredulous, certain she was not mistaken; it was Pei Yingyao’s sword aura.   Could it be   that the Foundation Establishment cultivator who valued Li Chang’an was none other than Pei Yingyao?   The thought of this…   Zhou Yu’s lips parted, momentarily stunned.   She had been thinking of many things to say, but the sword’s power disrupted them, leaving only disbelief in her mind.   ”Fellow Daoist Zhou, what’s wrong with you?”   Li Chang’an, standing nearby, wondered.   The man, upon seeing the sword, seemed petrified, not moving, not paying attention.   Even though he was a guest,   it was a bit rude.   Only then did Zhou Yu react.   ”Nothing, Fellow Daoist Li, I just…”   She was overcome with emotion, at a loss for words.   The sharp sword’s power shattered all doubts within her, forcing her to reassess Li Chang’an.   It took a long moment for   her to regain her composure.   Li Chang’an then offered her some tea.   ”Fellow Daoist Zhou seems troubled. This tea is called Tranquility Tea, and it will soothe the mind.”   ”Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li.”   Zhou Yu accepted the tea, her heart awestruck again.   This Tranquility Tea wasn’t cheap; a single ounce of tea cost dozens of spirit stones!   Using it for a guest was truly extravagant.   Little did she know.   This was something Li Changan had found in Lu Yuanji’s storage bag, and he had brought it to entertain guests out of sheer convenience.   Lu Yuanji’s bag also contained over a dozen valuable spiritual teas.   Although he’d become a Tribulation Cultivator, he’d retained a touch of the elegance of a mortal scholar, particularly fond of various teas.   After drinking the tea,   Zhou Yu finally calmed down considerably.

She took a deep breath and asked solemnly, “Fellow Daoist Li, do you know Senior Pei Yingyao?”

Li Chang’an nodded and replied, “Yes, Senior Pei saved me twice and is very kind to me.”

“I see.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was completely certain.

Why would Pei Yingyao save him twice without any reason?

It was obvious.

The Foundation Establishment Master behind Li Chang’an was none other than Pei Yingyao.

“Senior Pei actually gave him his personal sword. How could an ordinary disciple receive such treatment?”

Zhou Yu sipped her tea and made a silent decision. She

must befriend Li Chang’an.

With this in mind,

she immediately produced a portion of deep yellow spiritual soil, its surface shrouded in a shimmering spiritual mist.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is heavy spiritual soil. It’s excellent for cultivating spiritual plants. It’s also helpful for advancing earth-based monsters, increasing the success rate by half!”

“So this is heavy spiritual soil.”

Li Chang’an’s face lit up with surprise. He casually picked up a few grains of soil and sensed the immense spiritual power contained within.

Then.

He negotiated with Zhou Yu

and ultimately purchased the heavy spiritual soil for 3,300 spirit stones.

After signing the spirit contract,

Zhou Yu offered, “Fellow Daoist Li, my connections within the clan are even wider than Cousin Zhou Xuan’s. If you still need any Earth-level advancement artifacts, I can help you find them.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Zhou!”

Li Changan was delighted, his smile growing even wider.

After all, the Zhou family was a beastmaster clan, and they couldn’t be short of advanced artifacts. Since

Zhou Yu was willing to offer his help, Li Changan naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Amidst the crowd,

Zhou Xuan felt bitter.

“Didn’t we agree to come test Li Changan? Why are you suddenly trying to steal my business?”

He secretly regretted not bringing Zhou Yu along.

About a quarter of an hour later,

Zhou Yu and Zhou Xuan said goodbye.

Before leaving,

Li Changan gave Zhou Xuan a reward.

This purchase of heavy spiritual soil was entirely thanks to Zhou Xuan’s intermediary role.

Furthermore,

Li Changan gave Zhou Yu an advance on his reward.

He knew full well that money talks.

Incentivized by the reward, the two would work even harder to find the Earth Element Advancement Treasure for him.

“Fellow Daoist Li is truly generous,”

Zhou Yu exclaimed.

The reward truly tempted her.

No wonder Zhou Xuan kept trying to persuade her.

After receiving the reward,

the two officially departed.

As they exited the courtyard, they ran into a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.

The man smiled and bowed.

“Young friends, is this Li Changan’s residence?”

“Senior Murong!” Zhou Xuan and Zhou Yu’s eyes widened

at the sight of this man.

It was none other than Murong Kang, the thirteenth disciple of Master Huang He.

A master of the Foundation Establishment stage!

He had actually come to Li Changan in person.

Zhou Xuan quickly suppressed his shock and replied, “Senior, you’re not mistaken. This is Li Changan’s residence.”

“Very well, thank you for the information,”

Murong Kang said with a gracious smile. Then he entered Li Changan’s courtyard.

Outside.

Zhou Xuan and Zhou Yu exchanged a glance, both filled with shock.

What, exactly, was Li Chang’an’s relationship with the lineage of Huang He Zhenren?

…

Inside the courtyard.

Li Chang’an was about to continue cleaning up the debris from the formation.

Seeing the sudden arrival of his guest, he suddenly felt wary.

“Senior Murong Kang?”

“It’s me.”

Murong Kang smiled and nodded, seemingly harboring no ill intentions.

“Don’t worry, young friend Li. I’m here today to make an unwelcome request.”
