Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Black Feather Master, Changqing Cave Mansion (Please Subscribe)

The overwhelming power of the Jindan stage suppressed the entire audience!

Xiahou Hong alone silenced the entire place.

Pei Yingyao was furious, but no matter how strong her sword intent was, she couldn’t break the terrifying power of the Jindan stage.

Li Changan’s other friends were all furious.

“The lineage of Huanghe Mountain…”

Chu Daniu clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head, and suppressed his anger.

Everyone present knew that Xiahou Hong’s actions were too overbearing and completely unruly!

Today was Li Changan’s foundation-building ceremony.

Any grudges should be settled after the ceremony.

But Xiahou Hong chose this time!

It must be understood.

With Li Changan’s talent, achieving the foundation stage was a stroke of luck; achieving the golden elixir stage was impossible.

This foundation-building ceremony was likely the most glorious moment of his life.

But Xiahou Hong chose this moment to force himself on him!

Any other Foundation Establishment cultivator would have been so enraged they’d vomit blood on the spot, their entire lives shrouded in frustration, perhaps even plagued by inner demons!

But Li Changan maintained a relatively positive attitude.

He’d experienced countless hardships in his life, so what did this minor incident mean?

Right now,

he simply hoped Xiahou Hong could live long enough to kill the fake Dan.

“Senior Xiahou, how would you like to resolve this conflict?”

“Haha, that’s easy!”

Xiahou Hong laughed, throwing out a spiritual contract.

The terms of the contract had been drafted long before.

According to these stipulations,

from now on,

Li Changan must put aside their previous grudges, become friends with Murong Kang and the other two, and refrain from attacking them.

“Senior Xiahou, am I the only one signing this spiritual contract?”

Li Changan asked again, his expression calm.

Xiahou Hong smiled, “That’s right! Young friend Li, rest assured. My three junior brothers have already promised me that all grudges against you will be wiped out!”

Was it just a verbal promise?

This question crossed everyone’s mind.

If that were true, it would be excessive!

If Li Changan truly signed the spiritual contract, the three would be free to attack him at will, but he would be unable to retaliate and could only passively endure.

This spiritual contract was not fair in the slightest.

Unfortunately,

the other party was from the Huanghe Mountain lineage!

Including the third-level spiritual crane, they had the strength of four Jindan cultivators.

Li Changan, on the other hand, was just a casual Foundation Establishment cultivator with no background. It was

already impressive that they were willing to give him a verbal promise; what more could he ask for fairness?

“Alas, Xiahou Hong, you are a Jindan elder, why do you oppress a young man like this?”

Chen Huilan sighed suddenly, ignoring the overwhelming pressure from the Jindan cultivator. She slowly stepped out from the crowd and approached Li Changan’s side.

Although she was not Li Changan’s elder,

she was the only one who could support Li Changan in today’s situation.

“Chen Huilan of the Qingyun Sect?”

Xiahou Hong’s smile faded, his expression taking on a solemn expression.

For some reason,

although Chen Huilan was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he sensed a hint of danger.

Rumor has it that she once attempted to reach the Jindan stage, unexpectedly failing, but likely possessing some means of achieving it.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, how would you like to end this?”

Xiahou Hong asked gravely.

He was so cautious, even addressing him as “Fellow Daoist.

” Chen Huilan casually pointed, and the spiritual contract burst into flames, instantly reducing to ash.

Her actions had already made her stance clear.

“How about this? Let Li Changan also promise not to attack those three again. What do you think?”

“Okay!”

Xiahou Hong, unwilling to provoke further complications, only felt the growing threat.

He had no choice but to tentatively agree.

Next,

in front of everyone,

Li Changan also verbally promised to turn his enemies into friends and never attack Murong Kang and the others.

Of course, everyone understood that such a verbal promise was as good as nothing.

It wasn’t a Daoist oath.

He could always retract it!

Li Changan stepped forward, a smile on his face, and bowed to Murong Kang and the others.

“Fellow Daoist Murong, Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Sima, let’s write off the past.”

Hearing the word “Fellow Daoist,”

Murong Kang and the other two felt very uncomfortable.

In their eyes, Li Changan still seemed like the ant that could be crushed at will.

Chu Xiong was particularly uncomfortable, because he had been certain that Li Changan could not have achieved the Foundation Establishment.

But the facts were before him.

He could say nothing more, and for the time being, he could only endure it.

“But the same goes for the Foundation Establishment. Without the protection of the formation, I can destroy him with one punch!”

Chu Xiong pondered, murderous intent surging within him.

He was not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also a second-level physical cultivator.

Although the physical cultivation techniques had side effects that had damaged his mental state and made him impulsive and irritable, his strength was truly formidable.

Then,

Xiahou Hong left without stopping, hurriedly leaving with the three of them.

As they departed, he said in a deep voice, “Everyone, keep today’s events to yourself and do not speak of them to anyone else!”

“Yes!”

The numerous Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators present bowed.

And so,

the matter was over for now.

Li Changan’s face was filled with gratitude, and he sincerely thanked Chen Huilan.

“Thank you, Senior Chen!”

“No problem,”

Chen Huilan waved, a hint of fatigue crossing her face.

“The Huanghe Mountain lineage has always behaved this way, just like that True Man Huang He: if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked. Since you have a grudge against them, then cultivate diligently, achieve Golden Core, and then fight back.”

Upon hearing this,

the expressions of those present varied.

With Li Changan’s talent, how could he possibly achieve Golden Core?

Establishing a foundation in one’s fifties signifies very little potential; reaching the middle stage of the foundation building phase is a feat. Those

with a real shot at achieving the Golden Core usually achieve this in their thirties or even twenties.

Take, for example, the Mo family’s prodigy, Mo Qingxue!

Compared to Mo Qingxue, Li Changan’s talent is like a firefly compared to the bright moon; there’s no comparison.

He feigned a wry smile and replied, “Senior, you truly overestimate me.”

“What do you mean by overestimate? Back when we were outside the Immortal Sect, those old men all thought you couldn’t establish a foundation, but you managed it!”

Chen Huilan smiled and patted him on the shoulder in encouragement.

“Unfortunately, I, an old woman, won’t live long. I’m afraid I won’t see you achieve the Golden Core. When you succeed, don’t forget to come to my grave and tell me about it.”

Li Changan felt a warm glow at these words.

He had rarely felt so valued by an elder in his life.

Su Yuyan asked with concern, “Brother Li, did Xiahou Hong try to harm you?”

“Don’t worry, he’s a master of the Fake Pills technique after all. He wouldn’t do anything so shameless.”

“It’s hard to say!”

Su Yuyan reached out, grasping Li Changan’s arm and sending a trace of

her magical power to examine it. The results brought a sigh of relief.

Then,

Pei Yingyao approached.

Her usually aloof expression was surprisingly complex.

“Li Changan, my brothers and sisters were too overbearing. I’ve wronged you today.”

“It’s just a little pressure,”

Li Changan smiled, seemingly unfazed.

Pei Yingyao then said, “In the future, if you truly have the ability to fight back, I will never stop you, even if you have to completely annihilate the entire Huang Heshan lineage!”

Her words startled

everyone present .

It seemed Pei Yingyao was deeply disappointed with the Huang Heshan lineage’s actions, even to the point of saying such words.

If these words were said publicly, it would be almost the same as betraying the sect.

But everyone knew it.

Everything that happened today must be kept to themselves.

Jin Ming came over and invited him again.

“Friend Li, the Huanghe Mountain lineage treated you so well, why do you have to stay in Huanghe Immortal City and suffer? Why don’t you come to my Jin family and be a guest elder, and be free and easy!”

“Thank you for your kindness, Friend Jin.”

Li Changan smiled and declined politely.

He might not be bullied if he went to the Jin family, but the four words “free and easy” were definitely out of the question.

Hearing this, Jin Ming no longer forced him.

He bowed and left with Jin Yue and other members of the Jin family.

Next.

The participants said their goodbyes one after another.

After about a quarter of an hour, most of the outsiders had left, leaving only a few people who had a good relationship with Li Changan.

Chen Huilan did not stay too long either.

“Little Li, if you have any problems with your cultivation in the future, you can come to Qingyun Sect to find me at any time.”

“More seniors!”

“What are you thanking me for? Let’s go!”

After that, Chen Huilan left with two disciples.

But Su Yuyan stayed.

In the end.

There were only five people left in the yard.

Xu Fugui and Chu Daniu were cleaning up the spiritual food and drinks from the banquet.

Zheng Qingqing came over and asked softly: “Changan, when will you return to Qinghe?”

“About three days later.”

Li Changan thought for a moment.

The foundation-building ceremony is over, and it’s time to go back.

When he left, he had just broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining and was an ant that no one cared about.

Now, he is a foundation-building cultivator and a figure of a local ancestor.

When he returns this time, even the ancestor of the Zheng family has to greet him solemnly!

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a figure covered in black feathers appeared in the yard.

Upon seeing this figure, Chu Daniu immediately called out, “Master!”

“Yes,”

the newcomer replied calmly.

Li Changan, Xu Fugui, and the others also reacted immediately, bowing.

“Greetings, Senior!”

Chu Daniu’s master was a genuine Jindan Zhenren!

He waved his hand casually, saying, “No need for formalities. My Daoist name is Black Crow. You can call me Black Zhenren or Black Crow Zhenren, whatever you like.”

Black Crow?

Those two words

reminded Li Changan of Huang He.

It seemed the two were truly sworn brothers, even their Daoist names were somewhat similar.

Black Crow Zhenren stared at Li Changan for a moment, then sighed softly.

“It’s a pity that your talent is lacking. You won’t be able to help me in the future.”

“Senior, why don’t you give me a little more time?”

While Li Changan’s own talent wasn’t great, the Black Water Turtle’s was more than adequate.

The Black Water Turtle was sure to break through to the third level before him.

Then, he would have the confidence to confront Huang Heshan head-on!

True Man Black Crow said calmly, “I understand your point, but with your talent, giving you more time will be useless. I’ve seen countless people who refuse to be mediocre in my life. But spiritual roots are ultimately determined by birth. To achieve a Golden Core with your inferior spiritual roots is nothing short of defying the will of heaven.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Daniu spoke hurriedly.

“Master, Senior Mo, who originally created the ‘Demon Planting Technique,’ had inferior spiritual roots and even less talent than Brother Li, yet he still managed to reach the Nascent Soul stage.”

“Mo Qingkuang?”

True Man Black Crow shook his head slightly.

“In the entire cultivation world, only one Mo Qingkuang appears every ten thousand years. Could it be that Li Changan is also a rare genius with such exceptional understanding?”

Without pausing, he vanished in a flash.

Chu Daniu stood there, a look of disappointment on his face.

He had wanted True Man Black Crow to wait a little longer, until Li Changan matured, so they could jointly deal with the Huanghe Mountain lineage.

However, True Man Black Crow had no confidence in Li Changan. He

was probably still planning to fight alone!

“Alas, Master was a bit blunt. Brother Li, don’t take it personally.”

“Nothing.”

Li Changan didn’t care. His spiritual roots were already very poor, among the lowest among low-grade spiritual roots.

It was only slightly better than inferior spiritual roots.

With such talent, it was hard to have confidence in him.

Suddenly,

a strange cultivator appeared at the door.

The man respectfully asked, “Is Senior Li Changan here?”

“Yes.”

Li Changan turned and walked to the door.

“What can I do for you?”

“Senior, a young woman named Mu came to me and asked me to give you a gift. She also asked me to tell you that she’s sorry she can’t attend your Foundation Establishment Ceremony.”

“A young woman named Mu?”

Li Changan’s mind flashed with the image of Mu Qiuyan.

In this area, Mu Qiuyan was already a widely hated Tribulation Cultivator. Naturally, she couldn’t attend the Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

If she had come,

perhaps everyone would have spared her action for Li Changan’s sake as the host of the banquet.

However, outsiders would inevitably make gossip, accusing Li Changan of having an affair with a Tribulation Cultivator.

She didn’t come because it was for Li Chang’an’s own good.

“What did she ask you to give her?”

“I don’t know, just a box.”

The man produced a small wooden box.

Li Chang’an reached for the box and casually gave it some spirit stones.

“Thank you.”

“It’s my honor to serve you, senior!”

The man accepted the spirit stones, his face beaming with joy as he hurried away.

Li Chang’an closed the gate and walked to the center of the courtyard.

He was curious.

What would Mu Qiuyan give him?

For safety’s sake, he had Xu Fugui and the others step aside. He retreated deeper into the formation and manipulated a puppet to open the box.

The box opened without incident.

A jade slip lay quietly within.

Li Chang’an picked up the slip, probed his consciousness, and took a quick look. A look of surprise immediately crossed his face.

“Second-grade, mid-grade divination inheritance!”

This was actually a skill inheritance, and it was the mysterious art of divination!

Inside the slip,

there was a message from Mu Qiuyan.

“Brother Li, I know you are a cautious person who likes to hide your shortcomings and always plans things before taking action. This divination inheritance is something I accidentally obtained in the secret realm. You will definitely like it.”

In her opinion,

Li Changan’s personality is very suitable for the divination inheritance.

Every day when he wakes up, he will first calculate a divination to determine whether it is good or bad, and then consider what to do that day.

But Li Changan is a little helpless.

He already has a divination for each day. This inheritance is useless to him. It would be better to give him some body-refining treasures.

“Whatever, it is Qiuyan’s thoughtfulness after all.”

Li Changan carefully put it away, planning to take a look at it sometime.

He was actually a little curious.

What was the difference between this divination technique and his divination?

…

The next day.

Li Changan went to the black market and picked up a treasure.

Then, he found Luo Baitong and asked about the news about the ancient evergreen tree and the owner of the dead tree cliff.

When Luo Baitong saw him, he hurriedly said: “Friend Li, you are finally back. I have been looking for you these days!”

“What’s wrong? Why are you so anxious?”

Li Changan was surprised and asked him to speak slowly.

Luo Baitong explained immediately.

Not long ago.

He used his own personal connections to spread the words “ancient evergreen tree”.

Not long after, three people came to him one after another and asked him where the person who released the news was.

That’s why he was looking for Li Changan.

But Li Changan seemed to have disappeared these days, evaporating from the face of the earth and never seen again.

After hearing this.

Li Changan felt a little embarrassed.

After establishing his foundation, he was incredibly busy, entertaining visitors from various factions almost daily, leaving him with no time for the black market.

“Fellow Daoist Luo, are those three still here?”

“Yes, they’re all here!”

Luo Baitong immediately contacted them for Li Changan.

A moment later,

the two of them retreated to a dark room and waited quietly.

During this time, Luo Baitong mentioned the matter of the Master of Withered Wood Cliff.

Over ten days ago, the Master of Withered Wood Cliff was sighted again in the Black Dragon Mountains. He looked even more terrifying than before, seemingly nothing more than a sallow human skin wrapped around bones, barely recognizable as a normal human.

Clearly, he still hadn’t resolved the backlash from the spiritual plant.

“After all, the Master of Withered Wood Cliff is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while that spiritual plant has reached the second level.”

The disparity in power was too great.

Resolving the backlash wouldn’t be easy.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I’ve heard the owner of Deadwood Cliff plans to forcefully establish his foundation, hoping to try his luck. If successful, he might be able to suppress the backlash from the spiritual plant. If not, he’ll most likely perish completely.”

“Fellow Daoist Luo, do you know where he plans to establish his foundation?”

“I don’t know.”

The owner of Deadwood Cliff’s whereabouts are so mysterious that no one knows where he is now.

Perhaps the next time he appears, he’ll be in the advanced stage of his foundation building.

Of course,

it’s also possible that he died during the process, never to be seen again.

Li Changan hoped he could return alive. After all, he wanted to know if that strange spiritual plant was truly a spiritual root of heaven and earth.

Just as he was thinking about this ,

a burly man suddenly entered the secret room.

His eyes swept over Li Changan with a sharp gaze.

“Are you the one who posted that message?”

“Yes,”

Li Changan stood up and bowed. ”   My name is Li

Fan. May I know your name?” “My   last name is Xia.” “So it’s Fellow Daoist Xia!”   Li Chang’an used his Eyes of Delusion to take a closer look, and a hint of surprise immediately filled his heart.   This person’s apparent aura was only that of the ninth level of Qi Refining,   but his true cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage!   Moreover,   his true appearance bore a resemblance to Xiahou Hong, the fake elixir master of Huanghe Mountain. Surprisingly, he was Xiahou Hong’s biological son:   Xiahou Kun!   ”What a coincidence! Meeting Xiahou Hong’s son here   .” Xiahou Hong had two sons,   named Qiankun.   Xiahou Kun was his second son, who had successfully established his foundation several years ago.   Li Chang’an remained calm, seemingly unperceived.   Xiahou Kun asked him, “Do you have the last key?” ”   Yes.”   ”Can you let me see it?”   ”No problem.”   Li Chang’an’s mind moved, and an ancient key immediately appeared in his hand.   On the key’s surface, the word “Qing” was engraved.   Seeing the key,   Xiahou Kun’s eyes flashed.   ”Good! The last key has finally appeared. The Evergreen Cave Mansion will hopefully be opened!”   The next moment,   a key appeared in his hand, with the word “Gu” engraved on its surface.   (End of this chapter)
