Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Double Lifespan, Spiritual Ascension Method (Please Subscribe)

This wasn’t Li Chang’an’s first sudden enlightenment.

In fact,

he’d experienced it many times.

However, this was his first time comprehending a spell.

“While this spell is powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy.”

Li Chang’an felt weak and hurriedly took out his recovery pill and swallowed it.

After a short rest

, he felt much better. He looked back at the wooden slip in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“There must be a method for spiritual ascension.”

With this anticipation, Li Chang’an probed his consciousness into it.

The next moment, five large characters appeared before him.

Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique!

Li Chang’an was delighted, but he suppressed his excitement and read carefully.

This technique was indeed as he had imagined, a truly perfect technique!

Moreover,

his Ancient Wood Health Technique was the introduction to this technique!

If he switched to practicing this Evergreen Technique and cultivated it to the peak of Foundation Establishment, 365 drops of liquid mana would accumulate in his dantian.

According to the technique’s description, this state is the most perfect, increasing the success rate of Dan-Jing by 30%!

“It actually comes with a 30% success rate for Dan-Jing!”

Li Changan exclaimed in astonishment. It truly was a perfect technique.

Furthermore,

if Dan-Jing succeeded, it was highly likely to condense an Immortal Golden Elixir!

Dan-Jing cultivators also had different levels of skill. The weakest were naturally the Fake Dan.

Fake Dan realms weren’t even considered true Dan-Jing, their true strength less than half that of an ordinary Golden Dan True Person, and they could never advance further.

Above the Fake Dan were the True Dan.

True Dan quality was categorized into three levels: superior, medium, and inferior.

Above the True Dan were the Immortal Golden Elixir mentioned in this technique!

“If I can achieve the Immortal Golden Elixir, the possibility of Nascent Soul Formation in the future will be even greater.”

Li Changan, excited, continued reading.

However,

he was quickly taken aback.

After the Dan-Jing scroll, there was no technique for the Nascent Soul scroll. It suddenly cut off!

“Is this technique incomplete?”

Li Changan gripped the wooden slip tightly, carefully sensing it.

At this moment.

He suddenly felt that somewhere far away from here, there seemed to be a wooden slip that echoed the wooden slip in his hand.

However,

the place where the wooden slip was located was too far away. It

even exceeded the area of Zhao State’s immortal cultivation world that Li Changan knew.

“It seems that if I achieve the Golden Core in the future, I will have to make a long journey.”

Li Changan was not disappointed. As long as there were clues to the subsequent exercises, it would be fine.

The three volumes of exercises in the wooden slip in his hand were enough for him to practice to the peak of the Golden Core.

He was only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment. He

was still a long way from the peak of the Golden Core.

“No rush, take your time.”

Li Changan was in a good mood and continued to read the other contents in the wooden slip.

In this wooden slip, in addition to the three volumes of exercises for Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, there were three volumes of other content.

He clicked on the first volume and examined

it carefully.

It recorded the origin and characteristics of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art.

“The Ancient Wood Evergreen Art is the founding practice of the Ancient Wood Sect, one of the Nine Great Sects, suitable for cultivators with wood spiritual roots…”

Li Changan had long heard of the Nine Great Sects of antiquity, but this was the first time he’d heard the name of one of them.

The Nine Great Sects, capable of dominating the ancient world of immortal cultivation, were naturally formidable.

As the founding practice of such a sect, the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art possessed many remarkable attributes,

the most notable of which

was its lifespan extension!

Cultivators practicing the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art had twice the lifespan of cultivators of the same rank!

Li Changan’s breath quickened at this.

“Double lifespan!”

A normal Foundation Establishment cultivator could live past 240 years.

If Li Changan switched to this practice, he could reach 480!

With the addition of some longevity elixirs and treasures, living past 500 wouldn’t be a problem.

His lifespan rivaled that of a Golden Core True Person!

With such a long lifespan, even with low-grade spiritual roots, he could potentially achieve a Golden Core breakthrough.

Besides longevity,

there were several other notable features.

For example, maintaining youthful appearance, healing wounds, and cultivating affinity with spiritual plants.

Cultivators of this technique are well-suited to becoming spiritual plant masters.

“The power of Changqing can accelerate the growth of spiritual plants. Even… if one is willing to sacrifice one’s own lifespan, one can instantly cultivate a spiritual plant from seed to maturity!”

Li Changan was secretly amazed. This effect was truly incredible.

Even without sacrificing one’s own lifespan, it could enable spiritual plants to grow at a rate far exceeding normal levels.

As for sacrificing one’s lifespan…

forget it.

Li Changan thought about it and realized that no spiritual plant was as precious as his own lifespan.

In addition,

the healing effect of Changqing Gong was stronger than Yangsheng Gong.

After changing to Yangsheng Gong, one’s own magic power was equivalent to a panacea.

Therefore,

practitioners of this technique were also suitable to become spiritual doctors.

Among them, there were also taboo methods that consumed lifespan. As long as enough lifespan was consumed, a dying person could be instantly restored to normal!

Li Changan thought about it seriously and felt that there was no one in the world worth spending his life to save.

“I probably won’t be able to use this spell.”

He secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not let outsiders know about his skills and characteristics.

Otherwise, he would never have a good ending.

About a quarter of an hour later,

Li Changan finished reading all the contents of this volume.

He moved his mind and continued to read the second volume.

In this volume, two spells that matched the Ancient Wood Changqing Gong were recorded.

“Green Wood Divine Light, an offensive spell, condenses evergreen mana into a devastating divine light. Even at the entry level, its power rivals that of ordinary celestial-grade spells!”

“Ancient Wood Divine Armor, a defensive spell, condenses a layer of divine armor outside the body…”

These two spells, one offensive and one defensive, are of extremely high quality.

According to the descriptions above,

even at the entry level, they’re comparable to ordinary celestial-grade spells.

If cultivated to a minor level, they’d rival the pinnacle of celestial-grade spells!

“If cultivated to the fullest level, the power would be unimaginable…”

Li Changan exclaimed.

These two spells were exactly what he needed.

After all, he was only a casual cultivator, his foundation was limited, and the best spell he had mastered was only of the highest quality. It

was adequate against other casual cultivators, but not enough against geniuses from major families or sects.

However,

among the many spells he currently possessed,

the Xiaoyi Wood Sword Formation was somewhat unique. Although only of the highest quality, it allowed him to fight against opponents of higher rank.

Li Changan was skeptical.

It might be a fragmented version of a more powerful sword formation.

“This Green Wood Divine Light and Ancient Wood Divine Armor should also grant me the strength to fight against opponents of higher rank. Unfortunately, I still lack a certain escape technique

.” Li Changan was delighted, but also a little disappointed.

His Five Elements escape technique was actually sufficient. Even in the Foundation Establishment realm, a top-grade escape technique was considered quite good.

After all, escape techniques were rare, and even fewer were suitable for me.

But…

he still hoped for a better one.

“Never mind, it all depends on fate.”

Li Changan suppressed the thought for the moment.

He memorized the contents of the two spells, planning to practice them slowly later.

Then,

he continued to examine the contents of the last scroll.

As soon as he penetrated his spiritual sense, Li Changan’s body trembled, his heart excited again, because he finally saw what he had been waiting for.

“The method of spiritual ascension!”

The last scroll within the wooden slip

contained the method of spiritual ascension!

According to the description,

the strength of each cultivator’s spiritual roots is related to their innate “spiritual aura.”

With just a hint of spiritual aura,

one can comprehend the spiritual power of heaven and earth and become a cultivator.

The more spiritual aura one possesses, the more spiritual energy one can comprehend, and the faster one’s cultivation progresses.

“In ancient times, spiritual roots were actually classified by spiritual aura,”

Li Changan observed, entranced. This

was the first time he had heard of this concept

. According to the records,

cultivators with inferior spiritual roots had between one and ten spiritual aura strands.

Those with low-grade spiritual roots had between eleven and twenty spiritual aura strands.

Soon,

Li Changan came across a spell called “Spirit Verification Method.”

Learning this spell allowed one to determine the amount of spiritual aura one possessed.

It wasn’t difficult,

and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had mastered it.

“I wonder how many spiritual aura strands I possess?”

Curious, Li Changan immediately performed the Spirit Verification Method.

A moment later,

he vaguely perceived eleven subtle wisps of spiritual light drifting within him.

This was spiritual aura!

“Eleven spiritual aura strands, just reaching the threshold for low-grade spiritual roots.”

“It seems my spiritual roots are indeed at the bottom of the low-grade spiritual roots!”

Li Changan sighed.

His spiritual roots were indeed only slightly better than inferior spiritual roots.

No wonder his cultivation speed was always so slow. Without these many opportunities, he would probably be worse than Xu Fugui and Chu Daniu!

Fortunately, now there is this method of spiritual advancement!

The requirements of this method are the same as those described by the cultivator on the white bone ship.

A spiritual root of heaven and earth is needed!

“Simply influence a spiritual root of heaven and earth with your own faith, gain its approval, and you will be able to bind it to yourself, achieving a special symbiotic state.”

Symbiosis?

Seeing this part, Li Changan was even more surprised.

A cultivator coexisting with a spiritual plant was indeed a bit strange.

However,

as long as it could enhance the spiritual root, nothing was unacceptable.

According to the description, after achieving symbiosis, the cultivator must diligently cultivate this spiritual root of heaven and earth.

As the spiritual root grows, it will intercept the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and feed it back to the cultivator, increasing the cultivator’s spiritual energy!

This is the method of spiritual advancement!

After reading this,

Li Changan pondered for a long time.

For him, nothing else was a problem; the biggest problem was still the spiritual root of heaven and earth.

This spiritual plant was so difficult to find that even Jindan Zhenren might not be able to find it.

“Is the spiritual plant of the owner of the Deadwood Cliff really a spiritual root of heaven and earth?”

Li Changan recalled the many rumors about the owner of the Deadwood Cliff.

He had a feeling.

The strange withered vine of the owner of the Deadwood Cliff was very likely a spiritual root of heaven and earth!

The reason he suffered backlash was because he hadn’t initially used his faith to influence the spiritual root, but had instead forced it to surrender.

“Unfortunately, that guy has now entered the Black Dragon Mountains, and his life or death is unknown,”

Li Changan sighed.

If he had known the details of the Spirit Ascension Technique earlier,

he could have struck a deal with the Master of Deadwood Cliff while he was still alive.

But now, it was too late.

“I can only ask Luo Baitong to keep an eye out for news on the Master of Deadwood Cliff, and to help me find various strange and bizarre spiritual plants.”

Besides that.

Li Changan had heard that

the Mu family of Red Leaf Valley, one of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families, seemed to possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

The Mu family was renowned for cultivating spiritual plants, with a lineage of third-tier spiritual plants within their family. It was no surprise that they could acquire a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

However, such a treasure was too rare, and the Mu family would never sell it to Li Changan, a casual Foundation Establishment cultivator .

Unless he could achieve Golden Core in the future and gain equal trading rights with the Mu family,

“The Heavenly Spiritual Root is crucial to my life’s path. I should devote more energy to it in the years ahead,”

Li Changan pondered.

After a moment,

he put away the wooden slip and let out a long sigh.

Overall, he had obtained nearly everything he had sought during this trip to the secret realm.

“This harvest truly lives up to the auspicious divination,”

Li Changan said, delighted. He planned to change his cultivation method upon his return.

However,

before doing so,

he had to check Xiahou Kun’s storage bag and discard any suspicious items.

“Xiahou Kun is the son of a fake elixir master, so his storage bag should contain quite a few treasures.”

Li Chang’an easily erased the restrictions on the bag, opened it, and searched carefully.

As expected,

there were indeed quite a few treasures.

There were four second-tier spiritual artifacts, each of which could fetch a good price.

Furthermore, there were numerous elixirs and talismans of various types, even more than in Miao Qianshui’s bag.

Li Chang’an also discovered several treasures needed for body cultivation, which he could use.

“Huh? There are even foundation-building items. Could this guy be preparing them for his apprentice?”

Li Chang’an thought, and pulled out a colorful lotus from the bag.

A seven-petal lotus!

This foundation-building spiritual item increases the success rate by 15%.

Tang Suran had once snatched a broken seven-petal lotus, and it was still in Li Chang’an’s bag.

Li Chang’an had never imagined that he would be able to obtain another one.

This lotus was complete and of extremely high quality.

At this moment,

Ye Hao, standing nearby, spoke cautiously.

“Fellow Daoist Li, have you already established your foundation?”

“Yes!”

Li Chang’an didn’t deny it.

With the combat prowess he had previously displayed, it didn’t matter whether he had established his foundation or not.

Ye Hao stared at the seven-leaf colorful lotus, his eyes filled with desire.

“Fellow Daoist Li, since you’ve already established your foundation, can you sell me this seven-leaf colorful lotus?”

“Of course, but can Fellow Daoist Ye afford the price?”

Li Chang’an looked at Ye Hao and asked in a deep voice.

Although this man was a good friend from the past, he wouldn’t give it away for free; after all

, he had worked so hard to snatch it. Upon hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across Ye Hao’s face.

After a moment,

he gritted his teeth, as if making some kind of resolution.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I have a treasure here that you might be able to use, but the value of that treasure is far too high. This seven-leaf colorful lotus isn’t enough. I also want a foundation-building pill! As a Foundation-Building cultivator, you should be able to obtain one.”

“Oh?”

Li Chang’an immediately became interested.

He asked with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ye, I wonder what treasure is worth a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Seven-Leafed Colorful Lotus?”

“A third-level formation!”

“What?”

Li Chang’an’s spirits perked up.

He stared at Ye Hao, a hint of disbelief forming in his heart.

This old friend was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, yet he had actually received the opportunity to reach the third level?

“Fellow Daoist Ye, I want to see that third-level formation!”

“Okay!”

Ye Hao decisively, without any hesitation, immediately pulling a token from his storage bag.

The token looked ordinary, devoid of any trace of mana.

But on its edge, a tiny, almost invisible silver dot lingered.

“So that’s it,”

Li Chang’an suddenly realized.

Ye Hao had actually obtained this kind of spiritual consciousness storage device.

This type of magical device doesn’t react to mana and could easily be mistaken for an ordinary object.

“Fellow Daoist Li, the third-level formation is within this token, but it’s not a magical weapon.”

“I know.”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, and the token flew into his hand.

He extended a trace of spiritual consciousness, touched the silver dot, and a dark space immediately appeared before his eyes.

Within this space,

neatly arranged were thousands of formation flags and various precious treasures needed for the formation.

Furthermore,

there was a jade slip.

Li Changan penetrated the slip with his divine sense and obtained information about the formation.

“A low-grade, third-tier formation, the Green Wood Transformation Formation!”

This formation was of exceptional quality, a true masterpiece, focused on trapping and killing enemies.

While it lacked the power of an illusionary formation, it blended seamlessly into the landscape, transforming into trees, flowers, and grass, drawing the user in unnoticed.

The more Li Chang’an looked at it, the more delighted he became.

If he could set up this third-level formation, even if a Jindan-level expert came to intrude, he could handle it with ease.

Third-level formations were extremely difficult to break. At this level, ordinary formation-breaking artifacts and methods were basically ineffective.

Third-level formation-breaking artifacts were extremely rare, and even Jindan-level masters might not be able to find them.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, the value of this formation far exceeds a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.”

“I know.”

Ye Hao sighed helplessly.

While the formation was wonderful, he had no use for it right now.

The spirit stones consumed for a formation of this level were too staggering, and he simply couldn’t afford it.

Instead, the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object were what he desired most.

As long as he could achieve the Foundation Establishment stage,

this exchange would be worth it!

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye trusts me.”

Li Chang’an smiled, putting the formation away.

The next moment,

a small jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Sealed within the bottle was none other than a Foundation Establishment Pill!

“Fellow Daoist Ye, while the quality of this Foundation Establishment Pill isn’t top-notch, it’s better than ordinary.”

With that,

Li Changan handed over both the pill and the Seven-Leafed Colorful Lotus.

Ye Hao’s face was filled with excitement, his hands trembling as he took the two treasures.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!”

“I should be the one thanking you,”

Li Changan said with a smile.

He’d made a killing on this exchange!

“Fellow Daoist Ye, when do you plan to establish your foundation?”

“Today!”

“Huh? So soon?”

“Yes!”

Ye Hao put away the two treasures and explained to Li Changan.

He had just had a sudden flash of inspiration, sensing that today was the perfect time to establish his foundation.   If

he missed this moment,   the chances of success would be much lower.   Li Changan frowned and said, “But there’s no second-tier spiritual vein here. Fellow Daoist Ye, have you considered it?”   ”Yes, there is one not far from here, but there might be a threat of demonic beasts. Fellow Daoist Li, please set up a large formation to protect me!”   ”Okay!”   Li Changan immediately agreed.   If Ye Hao could succeed, he would have another good friend who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.   A moment later,   the two left Changqing Cave and headed straight for the second-level spirit vein Ye Hao had mentioned.   To Ye Hao’s surprise, the second-level spirit vein was already occupied by a second-level demon beast!   His expression suddenly darkened.   ”Friend Li, when I last discovered this place, this second-level demon beast wasn’t even here.”   ”No problem.”   Li Changan flashed, appearing on the second-level spirit vein in an instant.   He extended his right hand and pressed down hard on the spirit beast below.   ”Boom!”   A massive hand suddenly descended from the sky, majestic and unstoppable, as if it came from the distant universe.   The second-level spirit beast had no time to react before it was struck and exploded on the spot!   Instant kill!   The scene   left Ye Hao stunned.   Second-level demon beasts are difficult to deal with, otherwise second-level demon cores wouldn’t be so rare.   Yet, Li Changan had managed to instantly slay one, seemingly effortlessly, like crushing an ant!   Little did he know.   Li Changan’s mana had been drained once again.   He sighed inwardly, having failed to control it this time.   ”I need to practice this spell more.”   He landed on the ground, collected the flesh and blood, and swallowed a few healing pills.   Then,   he turned and reminded, “Fellow Daoist Ye, why are you still standing there? Hurry and come!”   ”Oh, oh… OK…”   Ye Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his shock.   He came to the point where the spiritual energy of this spiritual vein was most concentrated, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his state.   Li Changan, in turn, transformed into a series of afterimages, setting up formations around him.   It was still a second-tier formation.   As for the third-tier formation, he was completely unfamiliar with it and couldn’t possibly set it up today.   After a while,   the formation was complete.   Li Changan entered the formation and took a look at Ye Hao’s condition.   ”Your mana is quite accumulated, your condition is excellent, and you have all kinds of treasures, but success or failure is uncertain.”   …   At the same time.   In the southern region of Zhao State’s immortal cultivation world,   there lies a relatively hidden third-tier spiritual vein.   Here, Wang Chunfeng, the third-tier fortune-teller, lives in seclusion.

Previously, in order to help Master Huang He deduce the murderer, he was seriously injured and lost a lot of his lifespan.

Although he has barely recovered from his injuries, his lifespan cannot be restored.

Today.

Xiahou Hong suddenly came to visit and asked him to help with a longevity treasure.

“Friend Wang, my son was assassinated by a villain. Please help me to tell the identity of the murderer.”

“Alas, this is a bit difficult.”

Wang Chunfeng looked embarrassed, with a hint of refusal.

Xiahou Hong took out another longevity treasure.

The two treasures added together are enough to extend life by thirty years!

Wang Chunfeng couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

He sighed slightly.

“Forget it, I’ll make another move!”

One move in exchange for thirty years of lifespan, it’s worth it!
