Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Stealing the Soul Banner!
This Taoist Feng stated that
he needed three fellow Daoists with strong array-breaking abilities to join him in exploring the ancient cave. They could
then
divide the treasures within equally.
“Fellow Daoist Li, what do you think?”
Luo Baitong asked.
He knew Li Changan needed treasures like stardust,
so he informed him the moment he saw the mission.
“Fellow Daoist Luo, this fellow Daoist Feng is asking for fellow Daoists with strong array-breaking abilities. Do you think I’m good at it?”
“Fellow Daoist Li, I know you’re quite skilled. Perhaps I can?”
Luo Baitong chuckled.
Li Changan was speechless. He really could.
Whether it was the Soul-Severing Bowl, the Soul-Forbidden Chessboard, or the Eye of Delusion-Breaking, all were helpful in breaking arrays.
“Well, let’s go meet this Taoist Feng.”
Li Changan wasn’t taking any chances, but it always made sense to ask.
Not long after,
he met Taoist Feng, the person who had issued the mission, in a dark rest room.
Upon meeting,
Li Changan was taken aback.
Although Taoist Feng had concealed his appearance and aura,
the effects of the Eye of Delusion rendered his disguise useless, and Li Changan soon saw his true face.
It was Huang Feng!
“Weren’t his meridians shattered? How could he still explore the secret realm?”
Li Changan was a little surprised.
With such serious injuries, he should have been unable to cultivate again in his lifetime. Yet
, Huang Feng appeared before him, unharmed. Luo Baitong smiled and introduced him. ”Fellow Daoist Li, this is Fellow Daoist Feng. He’s a veteran of our Three Tribulations Alliance, having been a member for over a decade.” This surprised Li Changan even more. Huang Feng, despite his sanctimonious demeanor, appeared as a righteous cultivator who hated evil, but secretly, he had been a Tribulation cultivator for over a decade! Huang Feng was also sizing Li Changan up. He had already heard of Li Fan, having previously heard of him during the incident with the Honored Soul Banner. Therefore, a hint of fear lingered in his gaze. ”Fellow Daoist Li!” Huang Feng bowed politely. Li Changan also bowed in response, then asked about the details of the secret cave. ”Fellow Daoist Feng, is there really stardust within that cave?” ”Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Li! I swear on this matter with my Daoist heart. If I conceal even a single detail, my meridians will be severed, and I will never again be able to cultivate!” Huang Feng spoke with conviction and sincerity. He recounted everything he had seen and heard within the cave. He also stated that , aside from the formation, there were no other dangers within. All they had to do was break the formation! ”Fellow Daoist Li, I wonder how strong your formation-breaking skills are?” ”Fellow Daoist Feng, how strong do you want them to be?” Li Changan asked, not directly answering. Huang Feng was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled. ” It seems Fellow Daoist Li is very confident in his ability to break formations. Why don’t we give it a try now!” With that, he produced a formation and began to set it up in the room. This formation was a peak-level, first-tier one. Even a ninth-level Qi Refiner trapped within it would be utterly slain without a treasure or other means to break it! After the arrangement was complete, Huang Feng smiled at Li Changan and gestured for him to enter. ”Fellow Daoist Li, do you dare to enter the formation?” ”Why not?” Li Changan said confidently, striding into the formation. The next moment, the formation activated, and the surroundings shifted dramatically. Hidden murderous intent locked onto Li Changan. If he couldn’t break the formation quickly, even if he survived, he would be driven into a state of extreme embarrassment. Outside the formation, Huang Feng stared at him intently. ”I wonder if this fellow Daoist Li has any real ability.” He had a mental limit of thirty breaths. If Li Changan still couldn’t break the formation by the time the timer expired, then he wouldn’t be qualified to join the exploration of the cave. However, in the blink of an eye, Li Changan, through his delusion-breaking eyes, saw the formation’s weakness. He didn’t even use a second-tier treasure. He simply took out a first-tier array-breaking pestle and gently smashed it against the weak spot, breaking the entire array. ”Alright!” Li Changan smiled and walked out of the array.
From entering the formation to breaking it,
it took no more than three breaths.
Luo Baitong, watching from the side, his eyes widened.
“Fellow Daoist Li, you really are a master at breaking formations! You’re a master at this!”
“Fellow Daoist Luo, you’re overly kind. I’ve simply been trapped in formations so often that I’m more experienced.”
“Frequently trapped in formations?”
Luo Baitong was even more surprised, subconsciously imagining that Li Changan frequently ventured into dangerous areas.
Huang Feng was equally shocked.
Even as a disciple of Huang Heshan, his formation-breaking skills couldn’t compare to Li Changan’s.
“For such a renowned cultivator to have survived to this day, there must be something remarkable about him,”
Huang Feng thought to himself.
He clapped his hands, stepped forward, and said admiringly, “As expected of Fellow Daoist Li, a reputation truly lives up to its reputation!”
He then extended an invitation to Li Changan,
hoping he could join him in exploring the cave.
Li Changan didn’t agree outright, but instead inquired.
“Fellow Daoist Feng, when do you plan to depart?”
“Let’s not delay any further. Let’s do it tomorrow at noon. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Li?”
“Okay, that’s fine with me,”
Li Chang’an agreed.
Since they were leaving tomorrow, he could consult the hexagram tonight.
He and Huang Feng had a long-standing grudge ,
but
he wasn’t about to miss this golden opportunity. If the hexagram indicated a positive outcome, he would depart with him tomorrow and eliminate him within the secret realm!
…
That night,
in his room,
Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, quietly cultivating.
Just after midnight,
a new hexagram appeared before his eyes.
[Hexagram Updated]
[Today’s Hexagram: Auspicious]
[You entered the secret realm to explore the cave, successfully obtained a treasure, and killed the enemy Huang Feng within the cave without too many incidents.]
“Auspicious hexagram!”
Li Chang’an smiled.
With his current strength, killing Huang Feng wouldn’t be a problem.
His biggest worry before was encountering danger within the cave.
Now, it seemed
his worries were unfounded.
…
The next day,
Li Chang’an returned to the black market.
As agreed, he entered the secret room and met Huang Feng.
Huang Feng now had two more people beside him.
He smiled and introduced them to Li Changan.
“Fellow Daoist Li, these two are Fellow Daoists Jin Mu and Jin Ze.”
“Greetings, fellow Daoists.”
After the introductions,
Li Changan learned their identities.
They were both renegade disciples of the Jin family, possessing extremely high cultivation and impressive strength, both reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining!
Among the Tribulation Cultivators in this area, these two were quite renowned. They
were no less powerful than Li Changan in any way!
According to Huang Feng,
their array-breaking abilities were slightly weaker than Li Changan’s, but should be more than enough to deal with the formation within the cave.
Jin Mu beamed, appearing to be someone very easy to get along with.
“My brother and I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Li’s great name, and today we finally get to meet him in person!”
“It’s just a reputation,”
Li Changan said with a slight, humble smile.
“My own cultivation is not as good as yours, fellow Daoists. After entering the secret realm, I may need your help.”
“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist Li. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me!”
Jin Mu laughed heartily, very enthusiastic.
However,
he secretly sent a message to Jin Ze.
“This man is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. The reason he has such a reputation is just because he relies on the Zunhun Banner. After this is over, you and I brothers will take advantage of him and kill him by surprise, and steal the Zunhun Banner!”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, brother!”
Jin Ze had no objection.
There is no morality in the robbery cultivation. If you want something, just take it!
The two of them made a plan.
Kill Li Fan and steal the Soul Banner!
