Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Treasures that fascinate the eyes

. A fierce wind raged at the canyon entrance.

A flag, thrust diagonally to the side, fluttered in the wind.

The flagpole was black, pockmarked with dents, while the flag itself was a dark brown, as if drenched in blood.

Even from a distance, one could sense a strong sense of murderous intent!

“Immortals lack the Way, and humans destroy them?”

Li Changan approached the flag and examined it carefully.   He had heard rumors of this flag

long before entering the secret realm.   The six crimson characters etched upon it had made it renowned and sparked widespread discussion.   Later, many cultivators attempted to remove it,   but all failed.   Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator tried, but none succeeded.   ”The material of this flag is quite special. Rumor has it that many Foundation Establishment cultivators desire to take it away.”   Jin Mu stood to the side, reaching out and tapping the flagpole, producing a dull thud.   Everyone could see it.   The flag was a treasure, but its rank was unknown, and it was impossible to dislodge it.   ”However, while the material is fine, the six words on it are a bit wishful thinking.”   ”A mortal still wants to destroy an immortal?”   ”I can kill countless mortals with just a breath!”   Jin Mu shook his head, feeling those six words were a joke.   A moment later,   the four set out again.   The journey was relatively smooth, encountering no new dangers. Soon, they approached the cave Huang Feng had discovered.   ”Finally!”   Huang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.   He stopped before a dark brown cliff and waved gently at it.   The surrounding void suddenly rippled, as if a calm surface had been disturbed, the original scene shattered and a new one emerged.   ”To prevent the cave from being discovered, I set up an illusion array before leaving,”   Huang Feng explained to the three.   At that moment,   the illusion dissipated.   Beneath the cliff, a pitch-black cave entrance appeared.   ”Three, please follow me.”   ”Okay.”   And so it was.   Huang Feng led the way, the other three followed.   After the four of them entered the cave, the illusionary formation behind them reactivated, obscuring the entrance.   ”This is the cave I discovered. Go further in, and you’ll encounter the first formation, but I’ve already broken it…”   Huang Feng explained swiftly as he walked.   There were seven separate formations in this long passage, all of which he had already broken.   What truly troubled him   was the dark room at the end.   The formation within was particularly terrifying.   Multiple formations stacked one on top of another, not simply formations within formations. Some completely overlapped, others only partially, and still others were constantly shifting, creating an incredibly complex, interlocking system. It was impossible to count the number of layers.   ”At the time, I was blinded by the treasure and trapped in the outermost formation. I nearly died there,”   Huang Feng recalled, still feeling a lingering fear.   As he spoke,   the four of them had reached the end of the passage.   Before them lay a dark room with an extremely high dome.   The ceiling of the dark room was inlaid with countless night-shining pearls, like bright stars, illuminating the entire dark room. In the very center of the dark room,   you could see   a small spiritual field.   ”Stardust!”   Li Changan’s eyes fixed on the spiritual field.   Huang Feng had indeed not lied.   The soil of the entire spiritual field was extremely precious stardust.   Atop the stardust, there were four spiritual plants.   ”Blood Jade Grass, Demon Heart Fruit, Soul-Nourishing Flower, and Dieffenbachia!”   Seeing those four spiritual plants.

Jin Mu and Jin Ze’s eyes widened!

At that moment,

they finally understood why Huang Feng had been so blinded by the treasure, nearly perishing in the formation!

The Blood Jade Grass is a precious body-refining elixir, useful for the second-level body-refining process.

The Demon Heart Fruit is ineffective against human cultivators, but it’s a rare treasure for demons, temporarily raising the bloodline rank of a demon beast.

A demon heart fruit aids a demon beast’s advancement, greatly increasing its success rate!

These two spiritual plants,

while valuable, each have unique uses.

What truly captivated the Jin Mu brothers were the two spiritual plants at the back.

“Soul-nourishing flower! There’s actually a soul-nourishing flower here!”

Jin Mu muttered to himself, his expression filled with excitement.

This soul-nourishing flower is a treasure that can permanently enhance one’s mental strength!

If one could consume one, then the “God” stage of the third stage of Foundation Establishment would be a piece of cake!

As for the final spiritual plant…

the Dieffenbachia.

Li Changan had seen this before; it was a gift from Chu Daniu at Zheng Qingqing’s foundation-building ceremony.

It could extend a cultivator’s lifespan by at least ten years!

“These four spiritual plants will all be useful to me,”

Li Changan mused.

The Blood Jade Grass and the Soul-Nourishing Flower could be used to strengthen his own physical and mental strength.

The Demon Heart Fruit could be given to Da Huang.

As for the Evergreen, he could trade it for other treasures with Foundation-building cultivators whose lifespans were approaching, or he could consume it himself.

Li Changan didn’t despise his long life.

The more lifespan, the better!

At this moment,

Huang Feng spoke, interrupting the three’s thoughts.

“Thirty, while the treasures are valuable, they’re out of our reach right now. Let’s first think about breaking the formation.”

“That’s right!”

Then, the four began to observe the formation within the dark room.

Before long,

Jin Mu and Jin Ze’s faces became troubled, their brows furrowed ever deeper. They sat cross-legged, lost in thought.

They even lit a clearing incense stick, simply to cast aside all distractions and focus solely on breaking the formation.

Li Chang’an’s expression was much better.

He secretly activated the Eye of Delusion and scanned the entire dark room, secretly surprised.

“Nineteen formations in total, one second-tier formation, and eighteen first-tier formations.”

“If I were alone here, it would be really difficult to break through.”

“There are three weak points. We need to break them simultaneously, otherwise it will trigger a chain reaction, making the formation even more difficult to break.”

“Luckily, I brought enough puppets…”

After a moment,

Li Chang’an finalized his strategy.

He alone, controlling three puppets simultaneously, should be able to break through the nineteen linked formations as long as he was careful.

Not long after, Jin Mu and Jin Ze also finalized their strategy.

“There are eighteen formations in total. My two brothers need to simultaneously break one weak point!”

“Eighteen?”

Huang Feng was startled. He had only identified thirteen formations.

In this respect,

he was certainly no match for the Jin Mu brothers, and even less so for Li Chang’an, who wielded the Eye of Delusion.

“Fellow Daoist Li, how many formations have you identified?”

Huang Feng and Jin Mu both looked at Li Chang’an.

Li Changan didn’t hold back and told them the truth.

“Nineteen formations, the middle one is a second-order formation!”

“Second-order formation?”

Jin Mu and Jin Ze were shocked. They hadn’t noticed it.

If they entered rashly, they would definitely be trapped!

With this in mind,

the two of them didn’t insist on breaking the formation themselves, but instead asked Li Changan.

“Friend Li, you will lead the team this time. Just tell us what we need to do.”

“Okay.”

Li Changan didn’t refuse.

He thought for a moment, then began to make arrangements.
