Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Stubborn

“Withered Earth Root? Devouring Spiritual Beasts?”

This sudden ominous omen startled Li Changan.

He knew about treasures like Withered Earth Root. It

was recorded in the inheritance of spiritual medicine.

Judging from its appearance, it was just an ordinary rhizome that looked withered.

“Such a treasure should not have spiritual intelligence, so how could it suddenly burst out and devour spiritual beasts?”

Li Changan frowned and pondered for a long time.

A withered rhizome devouring Big Yellow Dog?

He thought about it and felt that the scene was really weird.

You know,

Big Yellow is already a peak-level spiritual beast of the first order.

The Withered Earth Root could actually devour him, which means that his strength has exceeded the limit of the first order.

Even if it can’t reach the second order, it should not be far behind.

“Don’t be careless about this matter.”

Li Changan thought about it.

To be safe,

he couldn’t take this treasure.

…

The next day, at noon.

Zhou Yu came to the outside of Li Changan’s yard.

Beside her.

It was a rather portly, thirty-year-old Zhou family member dressed in a brocade robe.   It

was none other than her cousin, Zhou Chuan. “Ah Yu, this Li Chang’an is just a casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Can he really buy my Withered Earth Root?”   Zhou Chuan was a little skeptical, suspecting Li Chang’an of being a con man.   Zhou Yu didn’t elaborate.   After all, as long as the deal was done, she would get a reward.   ”Is Fellow Daoist Li here?”   Zhou Yu knocked on the courtyard door.   A moment later,   Li Chang’an opened the door, ushered the two into the courtyard, and brewed them fine tea.   ”Is this Fellow Daoist Zhou Chuan?”   ”Yes!”   Zhou Chuan took a sip of his tea and nodded slightly.   He got straight to the point. He   pulled a jade box from his storage bag .   ”Fellow Daoist Li, this is the ‘Withered Earth Root,’ an extremely precious earth-based treasure that increases your chances of advancing by 10%, and its effects can be combined with other treasures!”   With that,   he opened the jade box.   Inside, a pitch-black, slightly withered rhizome lay.   Judging from its appearance, it was indeed a withered earth root.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, if you’re concerned, you can examine it.”   Zhou Chuan handed the jade box to Li Changan.   But Li Changan didn’t take it.   His true form had quietly retreated deep into the formation, leaving only a phantom form behind, and he had activated the formation to its full potential.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, what’s wrong with you?”   Zhou Chuan asked, noticing Li Changan’s strange expression.   Li Changan frowned slightly, pretending to observe carefully, and replied after a moment.   ”Fellow Daoist Zhou, what’s in your jade box doesn’t look like a withered earth root.”   ”How could that be?”   Zhou Chuan’s face changed slightly, and he immediately picked up the withered earth root to examine it.   After a careful examination,   he put it down and said solemnly,   ”Fellow Daoist Li, this is a withered earth root, there’s no doubt about it. You can examine it yourself!”   ”No need!”   Li Changan waved his hand, thinking of the strange hexagram.   He didn’t want to touch it.   ”Fellow Daoist Zhou, I’m truly sorry, but I don’t intend to buy this.”   ”This…”   Zhou Chuan felt a little unhappy, but he didn’t show it.   Since the deal failed, there was no need for him to stay, so he left immediately!   Behind him, Zhou Yu looked puzzled.   She whispered to Li Changan,   ”Fellow Daoist Li, that should be the withered earth root. Isn’t this the treasure you need?”

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, there’s something wrong with that piece of dead earth root. Just when I was about to check it out, I had a foreboding feeling.”

“How could that be?”

Zhou Yu couldn’t understand.

The dead earth root was a treasure. What kind of treasure could evoke such a foreboding feeling?

Li Changan whispered to her, “Fellow Daoist Zhou, you’d better have your brother dispose of that dead earth root.”

“Okay, I’ll let him know.”

Confused, Zhou Yu hurried away.

…

Outside the courtyard,

Zhou Yu chased after Zhou Chuan and told him what Li Changan had just said.

Zhou Chuan’s brow furrowed, his expression unsightly.

“Hmph! I think Li Changan just can’t produce spirit stones, so he’s deliberately saying there’s something wrong with my treasure to give himself a way out!”

“Fellow Daoist Li isn’t that kind of person.”

“Ayu, how many times have you met him? Don’t be fooled by his appearance!”

Zhou Chuan was stubborn.

He hadn’t believed from the beginning that a casual cultivator like Li Changan could produce so many spirit stones.

Therefore,

he ignored the advice.

How could he casually dispose of such a valuable treasure?

A few days later.

Someone else was trying to trade with him. The

person who arrived was of considerable stature and status: Bai Hao, the eighth disciple of Master Huang He!

He was a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage!

“Senior Bai, please take a seat!”

Zhou Chuan was thrilled, secretly delighted.

Fortunately, he hadn’t made a deal with Li Changan, nor had he followed his advice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Bai Hao.

Bai Hao smiled and casually asked, “Young friend Zhou, do you still have that withered earth root?”

“Yes! Senior Bai, please take a look!”

Zhou Chuan immediately pulled out the jade box and opened it.

Bai Hao pulled out the withered earth root, carefully examined it, and nodded slightly, satisfied with its quality.

“Not bad! If I can collect a few more earth-based treasures, my gray rock rat will have a good chance of advancing.”

Soon,

the two signed a spiritual contract.

Without further delay, Bai Hao departed with the withered earth root.

…

Time flies in cultivation. More

than half a year passed quickly.

Meanwhile,

Li Changan obtained another earth-based treasure, which increased his chances of advancing by half a percentage point.

At this point, all the advanced treasures in his possession, combined, had increased his success rate by over 20%!

However, there was still not much information regarding the treasures he needed for his own foundation building.

Not long after,

he visited Zheng Qingqing.

Zheng Qingqing, after all, wanted to train another foundation-building cultivator for the Zheng family and had been keeping a close eye on the news.

“Miss, you are now a Foundation Building cultivator, and a distinguished guest of Wanbao Tower. Is there any way to buy Foundation Building Pills directly?”

“No,”

Zheng Qingqing said helplessly.

After reaching Foundation Building, one does have more access to information and treasures than during Qi Refining.

But Foundation Building Pills are still difficult to obtain.

“If they were so easy to obtain, there wouldn’t be so many Foundation Building families declining,”

Zheng Qingqing sighed.

Now, she was also worried about the second-level demon core.

The Zheng family originally had one, but it had already been used for her foundation-building.

During that alchemy, the Zheng family’s old second-level alchemist ran out of energy and encountered problems mid-refining, resulting in only one successful pill, while the remaining two were wasted.

In other words, she only had one chance to build her foundation.

Fortunately, it succeeded.

Zheng Qingqing said frankly that if she still couldn’t get the second-level demon core, she would go directly into the depths of the Black Dragon Mountains and try to kill a second-level demon!

“Go into the mountains to kill demons!”

Li Changan was secretly surprised.

Zheng Qingqing was still so courageous.

Back when she was in Qinghe, she often went in and out of dangerous secret realms to accumulate foundation for foundation building.

The danger level of the Black Dragon Mountains is no less than that of the secret realms. Countless Qi Refining cultivators have died there, and many foundation building cultivators have also died.

Rumor has it that in the depths of the Black Dragon Mountains, there is even a third-level demon king!
