Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 145

Chapter 145 It Was You Who Killed Him

The nightmare image was deeply etched in Cao Shaolong’s mind.

Not long ago,

when he was attempting to reach the Foundation Establishment stage,

the bloody scene resurfaced uncontrollably, nearly driving him to insanity.

Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations, purchasing a large number of treasures for tranquility and peace of mind.

Finally, despite the dangers, he successfully passed the test and became a Foundation Establishment master.

Cao Shaolong felt that this could not continue, so he visited an elder in the sect who was skilled in divination and asked him to read his fortune.

The reading shocked him.

It indicated that

the nightmare would eventually come true!

This meant that, like his brother, he would die at the hands of Li Changan’s sword!

Cao Shaolong made a decision.

“Strike first, gain the upper hand!”

In reality,

he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of Li Changan and the Cao family.

He had grown up in the sect and had no strong sense of belonging to the Cao family. He simply wanted to continue his cultivation within the sect.

However,

the fortune indicated that Li Changan would kill him.

He had no choice but to descend the mountain.

“First, eliminate Li Chang’an, then return to the sect to cultivate.”

If Li Chang’an knew his thoughts, he

would be horrified.

Simply because

Li Chang’an had never considered killing Cao Shaolong.

Before today, the two had never met, never had a direct conflict.

But…

today, Cao Shaolong suddenly arrived with murderous intent.

This made Li Chang’an harbor murderous intentions towards him as well.

“Su Yuyan, get out of the way! I will kill him today!”

Cao Shaolong shouted coldly, his momentum surging .

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his aura alone was enough to immobilize most Qi Refining cultivators.

However,

at this moment,

another Foundation Establishment aura suddenly appeared outside the courtyard,

accompanied by a fiery red light.

“Not good!”

Cao Shaolong instantly smelled the scent of death and hurriedly launched a spiritual weapon to block the fiery red light.

Boom!

The two collided, and the powerful spiritual energy instantly rushed in all directions.

The fiery red light flew back, landing in its owner’s hand and transforming into a fiery red dagger.

“Zheng Qingqing!”

Cao Shaolong’s face darkened, and he stared intently

at the newcomer. The person who had just attacked him.

It was Zheng Qingqing!

She was dressed in a fiery red dress and looked at him coldly.

“Cao Shaolong, you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all. How could you be so shameless as to attack a Qi Refining junior?”

The Cao and Zheng families had a long-standing feud.

As the younger generations of the Foundation Establishment cultivators from each family, they were naturally sworn enemies.

This was their first meeting, and the previous clash had confirmed each other’s strength.

Both were in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment, having recently broken through.

Their strengths were similar.

Further fighting would only attract the attention of the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If the incident became too drastic, neither of them would benefit.

“Li Changan, you’re lucky today!”

Cao Shaolong knew full well that he couldn’t kill Li Changan today.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suppressed all his murderous intent and anger, gathered his foundation-building aura, and turned to leave.

Before leaving,

his icy voice reached Li Changan’s ears.

“Remember, you can’t be this lucky forever!”

“I remember,”

Li Changan replied, his expression unchanged.

Soon,

Cao Shaolong’s figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

A moment later, Zheng Qingqing walked into the courtyard.

Her red skirt fluttered, and her eyes flickered as she looked at Su Yuyan, who was blocking Li Changan’s way.

At this moment.

Su Yuyan’s bright eyes happened to turn towards her.

Their gazes met for a moment, then they looked away.

Su Yuyan bowed and said, “Greetings, Senior!”

“No need to be formal. Since you’re a friend of Fellow Daoist Li, you’re my friend.”

Zheng Qingqing smiled softly, not pretending to be a senior.

Li Changan stood up and thanked Zheng Qingqing.

“Thank you for your help, Miss. If it weren’t for you, Cao Shaolong would have taken action.”

“No need to thank me. Fellow Daoist Li, you’re implicated in the feud between our two families,”

Zheng Qingqing replied gently.

Su Yuyan suddenly spoke up, addressing Li Changan, “Brother Li, even if Cao Shaolong really attacks, I can protect you. I have the protective treasure given to me by my master!”

Li Changan smiled, “I know, Yuyan. Thank you very much for today too.”

“It’s nothing. Brother Li, didn’t you always protect me before?”

Su Yuyan smiled softly.

After that.

The four of them sat down in the courtyard and chatted.

After Li Chang’an’s introduction, Su Yuyan and Zheng Qingqing officially met.

Zheng Qingqing then explained her purpose.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I recently returned to Qinghe Market and gave the two longevity treasures to our ancestor, extending his life by twenty years.”

“Congratulations, young lady,”

Li Chang’an said, understanding.

For the next twenty years, Zheng Qingqing would be free, no longer burdened by family matters.

Zheng Qingqing announced that she had officially become a guest of Wanbao Tower

and would be a permanent resident.

“Wanbao Tower’s requirements for me are quite generous. I only need to refine a few second-tier pills each month, and they’ll provide the ingredients.”

“That’s a good thing,”

Li Chang’an congratulated again.

This meant that Wanbao Tower was specifically providing the ingredients to help Zheng Qingqing improve her alchemy skills.

If this continued,

it wouldn’t be long before Zheng Qingqing could attempt to refine Foundation Establishment Pills!

At this moment,

Zheng Qingqing suddenly produced a gleaming golden token and placed it before Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this token signifies your status as a distinguished guest of Wanbao Tower. With it, you can purchase precious treasures, which are never displayed to the public,”

Zheng Qingqing explained to Li Changan.

“So, Wanbao Tower only sells a portion of its treasures?”

“Indeed.”

“I see.”

Li Changan had long suspected that Wanbao Tower wasn’t as shabby as it appeared.

If it truly only had those few treasures, it might as well have changed its name to “Qianbao Tower” or “Baibao Tower. “

In the past, he was just an ordinary casual cultivator.

His status wasn’t high enough. He

wasn’t worthy of Wanbao Tower’s respect.

Now, with this distinguished guest token, things would be much different.

“I was just worried about not being able to buy the treasure I wanted. Thank you, Miss,”

Li Changan thanked him solemnly, putting the identity token away.

As he finished speaking,

Su Yuyan, standing beside him, spoke again, her voice a little anxious.

“Brother Li, our sect’s treasury has quite a few treasures. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!”

“Okay, I will,”

Li Changan replied immediately.

Zheng Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes swept over Su Yuyan, and she did not mention the treasure anymore.

She changed the subject and talked about Cao Shaolong again.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, have you had any grudges with Cao Shaolong in the past?”

“No.”

“That’s strange, why is his murderous intent so strong? If it was just because of the grudge between the two families, he wouldn’t have to target you like this.”

Zheng Qingqing was a little puzzled.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for Li Changan to hide it.

The Cao family should know the news from Cao Shaolong soon, and there are probably undercover agents from the Zheng family inside the Cao family.

“Miss, I think… it may be because I killed his brother Cao Shaolin.”

“What?”

Zheng Qingqing was stunned.

Her eyes were like water, staring at Li Changan in a daze, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

“So it was you who killed him!”
