Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Void Spirit Body, War of the Four Sects (Seeking Subscriptions)

Zi Xi lightly raised her jade hand, handing over a jade slip.

Inside the jade slip

was her master’s trade request.

Li Chang’an took the jade slip and examined it carefully.

“Heavenly Net Gold, Clear Thunder Stone… all fourth-tier treasures, indeed a bit too high.”

The meaning of that Zi Xia True Monarch was very clear: as long as Li Chang’an could produce any one of them, she was willing to exchange it for a Spirit Cloud Fruit.

However, fourth-tier treasures were almost all held by the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the major forces.

Li Chang’an really couldn’t produce any.

After a conversation, Zi Xi left again.

Before leaving,

she said she would try her best to continue searching for those two treasures for Li Chang’an.

In addition, she also told him that a large number of treasures unique to the ancient era had appeared in the Ancient Ruins Secret Realm.

If Li Chang’an was in a hurry, he could go to the Ancient Ruins Secret Realm to search for them.

“The Secret Realm is too dangerous, let those puppets search slowly.”

He shook his head slightly and returned to his cave.

Deep in the cave.

Song Yu’er sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, focusing intently on her cultivation technique.

She had completed the process of opening her meridians and guiding qi into her body, officially becoming a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

However,

her spiritual body advantage had not yet manifested.

Currently, she was purely relying on her low-grade spiritual root for cultivation.

“Yu’er, come to me,”

Li Chang’an instructed.

Song Yu’er immediately stood up and ran to Li Chang’an, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, clearly a little nervous.

“Senior, I haven’t made any mistakes in my cultivation, have I?”

“No mistakes. I called you here for another matter.”

Li Chang’an smiled gently.

He patiently inquired, “Yu’er, after guiding qi into your body, have you experienced any special sensations?”

“Special sensations?”

Song Yu’er scratched her head, trying to think.

After a while,

she shook her head and said, “Senior, I only feel that I’ve become stronger, I don’t feel anything else.”

“Have you mastered any special powers?”

“No.”

“…”

Song Yu’er answered no to several questions in a row.

She grew increasingly nervous, afraid to raise her head, and timidly asked,

“Senior, have I disappointed you?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just that the time isn’t right yet,”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, his entire being exuding a gentle aura.

According to ancient records

, cultivators born with spiritual bodies aren’t necessarily born with them.

Some discover them gradually during their cultivation.

Others awaken their spiritual bodies due to unexpected events or stimuli.

Li Chang’an reached out and placed his hand on the top of her head, saying, “Yu’er, bear with it, you might feel a little uncomfortable.”

“Senior, please go ahead, I’ll endure it, I can endure any hardship,”

Song Yu’er gritted her teeth and tightly closed her eyes.

The next instant,

Li Chang’an used the Divine Separation Technique, splitting off strands of subtle divine sense.

Hundreds upon hundreds of strands of divine sense entered Song Yu’er’s sea of consciousness, probing its depths, and found the hazy, silvery-white symbol.

Perhaps because its spirit had not yet awakened, this symbol was even more blurred than those of Mu Xiaoqing and Ye Mengxian.

Li Chang’an was extremely cautious.

He carefully guided his divine sense forward, slowly merging with the silver-white symbol to form a spherical cage of divine sense, which gradually contracted.

After more than ten breaths,

his cage of divine sense had shrunk to its limit and finally touched the symbol.

“Buzz—”

The symbol suddenly trembled, emitting a bright silver-white light.

Based on Li Chang’an’s experience with the other two symbols, this symbol should have forcefully broken through his cage of divine sense.

However, something unexpected happened.

In the blink of an eye,

the symbol vanished into thin air.

It did not impact the cage of divine sense but instantly appeared in another part of Song Yu’er’s sea of consciousness.

“Teleportation?”

Li Chang’an was secretly surprised.

In the instant of the touch, a large number of complex insights appeared in his mind.

These insights were all related to a strange power.

The power of the void!

He closed his eyes slightly, carefully experiencing and trying his best to digest the insights that had appeared.

Unfortunately, he had rarely encountered such power before. Although he had many insights in his mind, he couldn’t figure them out and only absorbed a very small portion.

However,

even this small portion benefited him greatly.

Li Chang’an was pleasantly surprised to find that he could actually understand some of the complex spiritual patterns on the Rift Symbol!

“These spiritual patterns should all be related to the power of the void, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to tear through the void to escape.”

He thought to himself.

If he could understand all the spiritual patterns, perhaps he could replicate a Rift Symbol.

Of course,

the Rift Symbol was of too high a grade.

With his current magic power, he probably couldn’t support drawing a complete one.

“I don’t need a complete Rift Symbol, even a low-grade version with short-distance teleportation would be fine.”

Even just short-distance teleportation would give Li Chang’an another way to save his life.

A moment later,

he opened his eyes, completely ending this comprehension session.

Then, he manipulated strands of divine sense power, slowly approaching the escaped symbol, attempting to touch it again.

But the symbol trembled slightly, as if sensing his intention, and vanished from its original spot in an instant, reappearing in another place, giving him no chance to touch it at all.

After several unsuccessful attempts,

Li Chang’an had no choice but to temporarily give up.

Recalling the many ancient texts he had read, he quickly found a spiritual body that matched the characteristics of the power of the void:

“The Void Spiritual Body!”

This type of physique

has appeared very rarely throughout the history of the cultivation world.

Li Chang’an is now considered well-read and knowledgeable, but he still doesn’t know much about this kind of spiritual body.

He noticed

that the symbol was brighter than before, no longer appearing so blurry.

He immediately asked, “Yu’er, do you feel anything special?”

Song Yu’er replied, “Senior, I… I seem to have gained some other power, but I don’t know how to use it.”

“Try circulating your cultivation technique.”

“Yes.”

Song Yu’er cooperated readily and immediately circulated her technique.

Soon,

a look of surprise appeared on her face.

“Senior, my speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased a lot. Has my spiritual root improved?”

“It’s not the spiritual root, it’s the effect of the spiritual body.”

Li Chang’an released a wisp of Evergreen Mana into Song Yu’er’s meridians, simply sensing the speed at which she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This speed was astonishing, almost approaching the speed at which a prodigy with an earth-rooted spiritual energy absorbed spiritual power.

This meant that,

after Li Chang’an’s stimulation, her spiritual body had begun to awaken.

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment and said to her, “Yu’er, now gather all your thoughts and convey your intention to cooperate with me to the depths of your sea of consciousness.”

“Convey my intention?”

Song Yu’er was somewhat puzzled. Did she have another consciousness in her sea of consciousness?

Trusting Li Chang’an

, she didn’t ask further questions but diligently followed his instructions.

Not long after,

Li Chang’an vaguely sensed

that the silver-white symbol’s resistance to him seemed to have lessened.

Even the light on its surface had become softer.

“It seems to be working!”

Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

Back then, when he explored Mu Xiaoqing’s symbol, Mu Xiaoqing was still unconscious and unable to cooperate with him.

As for Ye Mengxian, although she was awake, she had always resisted Li Chang’an.

It was precisely because of this that

Li Chang’an had this sudden inspiration.

If he could get the spirit’s owner to cooperate, he might gain even more benefits.

He acted again, using hundreds of strands of his divine sense to carefully approach the symbol.

This time,

the symbol didn’t immediately flee.

Only when his divine sense was very close did the symbol teleport away.

“It seems I still don’t trust it enough, but this method is indeed effective!”

Li Chang’an was delighted.

If this continued, sooner or later he would be able to maintain contact with the symbol for a longer period.

Of course, this was on the premise that Song Yu’er wouldn’t be harmed.

“I need to keep a close eye on Yu’er in the future and give her more protective treasures.”

Li Chang’an withdrew his divine sense and thought to himself.

In the following days,

he tailored a set of protective treasures for Song Yu’er.

As long as he used these treasures, she could withstand even a Golden Core cultivator for a while.

Of course, her strength was still shallow at the moment, and if she really encountered a Golden Core cultivator, she wouldn’t have time to use the treasures and would be killed.

To prevent any accidents, Li Chang’an also crafted a high-grade third-tier armor.

The armor can accumulate spiritual energy, automatically releasing a protective shield for Song Yu’er when attacked.

In addition,

Li Chang’an also gave her a pendant.

This seemingly ordinary pendant contained a mid-grade third-tier puppet, within which lay a portion of his divine consciousness.

Li Chang’an had learned this method from True Monarch Huangsha.

“It should be safe now. With so many preparations, we can survive even against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, unless we encounter a holy son or daughter of a Nascent Soul sect.”

Song Yu’er was only at the first level of Qi Refining, not nearly enough to offend the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

Suddenly receiving so many gifts, the little one was moved to tears, vowing to care for Li Chang’an in his old age and see him to his death.

Although she had become a cultivator, her thinking remained mortal, believing that caring for him in his old age was the best way to repay him.

“Care for me in my old age?”

Li Chang’an smiled; whether this little one could outlive him was another matter.

His lifespan had exceeded 1300 years.

Many Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t outlive him.

In the days that followed,

Song Yu’er cultivated diligently.

Perhaps due to prolonged hunger in the mortal realm, she developed a keen interest in spiritual cuisine, frequently visiting Xu Fugui in Changqing Immortal City at the foot of the mountain to seek his guidance.

Her daily life consisted almost entirely of cultivation, learning spiritual cuisine, and riding her large yellow dog.

Li Chang’an, meanwhile, remained focused on the ancient ruins and the war between the two sects.

He was prepared to flee at any moment.

If the war between the two sects became too widespread, he would escape to a safer place.

About half a month later,

disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect from the Yuan Kingdom’s cultivation world arrived.

“The Vermilion Bird Sect and the Purple Cloud Sect of the Yuan Kingdom have formed an alliance to jointly attack the Yellow Sand Sect.”

“The Yellow Sand Sect, in turn, has formed an alliance with the White Tiger Sect of the Yuan Kingdom.

” “The war between the two sects has officially evolved into a war between four sects, with the battlefield spanning the cultivation worlds of both countries… “

Li Chang’an looked at the messages in his hand, lost in thought.

Years ago,

when he obtained the first three volumes of the Evergreen Technique, he had a premonition.

The subsequent volumes were located outside the cultivation world of the Zhao Kingdom.

Now it seemed that the location of the subsequent volumes was indeed within the cultivation world of the Yuan Kingdom.

“Next, if possible, I should make more acquaintances with people in the cultivation world of the Yuan Kingdom to expand my network and facilitate future actions.”

Li Chang’an put down the messages and continued cultivating.

Time flew by.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day ,

Qin Hong, the Holy Son of the Yellow Sand Sect, quietly infiltrated the heart of the Southern Region, approaching Evergreen Mountain.

He had promised Gu Yunqi that he would bring Li Chang’an’s head within a month.

He had come here today precisely to kill Li Chang’an.

“A rogue cultivator at the early Golden Core stage has actually caught the attention of True Monarch Huangsha. This person might possess a great opportunity. If I could obtain it…”

Just then, a purple flying boat suddenly pierced the sky and came to a steady stop in front of him.

On the flying boat,

Zi Xi glanced at him with cold eyes and unleashed a stunning spell.

“Not good!”

Qin Hong thought to himself that things were going badly.

His luck was truly terrible; he had actually encountered Zi Xi here.

In terms of strength, he was no match for Zi Xi.

Moreover,

he was alone, while Zi Xi had many helpers by her side.

“Retreat!”

Qin Hong did not hesitate and immediately used his escape technique to its fullest extent, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.

Zi Xi did not pursue him.

Although she was strong, Qin Hong was, after all, a Holy Son, and killing him would not be easy.

“Why is this person appearing at Changqing Mountain? Could it be that he has also received a decree from True Monarch Huangsha?”

Zi Xi pondered for a moment and withdrew her gaze.

A moment later,

she piloted the flying boat and brought it to a steady stop on Changqing Mountain.

Li Chang’an had been waiting for a long time.

He noticed that there were several unfamiliar cultivators beside Zi Xi.

Most of these cultivators wore red robes, and their bodies faintly emanated intense fire-elemental spiritual power; they must be from the Vermilion Bird Sect.

“Holy Maiden, these are this month’s pills.”

Li Chang’an stepped forward and handed over a storage bag full of pills.

After several transactions,

Zi Xi trusted Li Chang’an quite a bit and didn’t check the pills after receiving them.

She put away the pills and introduced the people beside her to Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is the Holy Maiden of the Vermilion Bird Sect, Mu Hongyu.”

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Mu.”

Li Chang’an bowed and sized her up.

This woman had a full head of red hair, peerless beauty, wore fiery red armor, and held a fiery red spear, possessing a certain heroic spirit.

Her aura was comparable to Zi Xi’s.

Presumably, she must be one of the best among the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the Vermilion Bird Sect.

“Fellow Daoist Li.”

Mu Hongyu’s voice was clear and crisp as she sized up Li Chang’an.

Although Li Chang’an’s cultivation was only at the early Golden Core stage, he must possess extraordinary abilities to command the attention of Zi Xi, the Holy Maiden of the Zixia Sect.

After a brief exchange, the two became acquainted.

Mu Hongyu extended an invitation: “Fellow Daoist Li excels in alchemy and weapon crafting. Why not come to my Vermilion Bird Sect? Within our sect, we possess fourth-tier earth fire, which can help you hone your skills in these two arts.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu, but I’m used to a leisurely life and cannot adapt to sect rules,”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, offering his usual excuse.

Hearing this, Mu Hongyu did not press the matter.

She exchanged some third-tier fire-elemental spiritual herbs for several third-tier spiritual pills with Li Chang’an.

This kind of transaction

could strengthen the karmic bond between the two parties and quickly bring them closer.

Both were eager to make friends, so the transaction went quite smoothly.

Afterwards, Zi Xi informed him, “Fellow Daoist Li, Qin Hong, the Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect, was just spying outside Changqing Mountain. He likely intends to attack you, so please be careful.”

“Qin Hong?”

Li Chang’an recognized him.

He wasn’t worried; even if all the Holy Sons of the Huangsha Sect came to storm Changqing Mountain, he was confident he could stop them.

Fourth-tier skills were practically invincible for Golden Core cultivators.

After their conversation,

Zi Xi and Mu Hongyu left.

Before departing, Zi Xi mentioned that both major sects had recently suffered heavy casualties and hoped Li Chang’an would refine more healing pills.

The Zixia Sect will buy these pills at a higher price, and will buy as many as they are available.

“This battle is unlikely to end anytime soon, so we need to refine more pills to stockpile. As for the price… we’ll keep the price for the Zixia Sect as it is, but for other ordinary forces, we can raise the price slightly.”

In this chaotic world, it’s normal for the prices of pills, talismans, and other items to rise.

Back during the beast tide,

Li Chang’an sold many treasures at high prices.

The current situation is even more chaotic than during the beast tide, and the prices of all kinds of treasures are soaring.

He’s still considered generous.

He heard that some of the pills from the Xiao family of Dan Valley have already increased in price by more than 40%!

“Refining pills is really extremely profitable.”

Li Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh as he entered the pill refining room.

After refining a batch of pills,

he was about to undergo a medicinal bath to temper his body when he suddenly sensed a familiar and powerful aura.

“Senior Jiang?”

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, and he immediately arrived in the courtyard of Changqing Mountain.

Jiang Xuanyuan, dressed in a long robe, stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, looking down at the vast Changqing Immortal City below.

“Senior, please have a seat!”

Li Chang’an immediately brought out the finest spiritual tea and fruits to entertain this Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Jiang Xuanyuan smiled and said, “No need. I’ve come here today to inform you of something.”

“Has something happened in the Great Qi?”

“That’s right.”

Jiang Xuanyuan clearly stated.

The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty was about to formally declare war on the Wang family, a Nascent Soul clan.

These two major Nascent Soul forces, like the Zixia Sect and the Huangsha Sect, had accumulated conflicts for many years.

Although they had tried to form a marriage alliance, the effect was minimal.

In recent years,

conflicts between the two sides had frequently erupted.

Just recently, a prince of the Great Qi was killed by a Wang family cultivator while training outside.

“I will be going to conquer the Wang family and confront their Nascent Soul cultivators. I might not be able to spare the time. If that Huangsha True Monarch attacks you again, you should leave this place first.”

“I understand. Thank you, Senior.”

Li Chang’an thanked him solemnly.

Not long after,

Jiang Xuanyuan left.

He was worried that Jiang Muyu would be concerned for him, so he did not meet with her.

…

A few days later.

Li Chang’an learned of the declaration of war between the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty and the Wang Family.

Thus,

all four Nascent Soul forces of the Zhao Kingdom

were now engulfed in bloody warfare.

That night, Li Chang’an stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the heavens, his eyes particularly deep, using his divination power to predict the future.

In an instant,

he witnessed countless wailing souls.

But this scene of hell on earth flashed by, quickly disappearing, swallowed by a thick aura of blood.

Li Chang’an wanted to see more, but immediately sensed the risk of shortening his lifespan.

“The secrets of heaven are unpredictable,”

he sighed inwardly, withdrawing his divination power.

A while later,

Li Chang’an left Changqing Mountain, changed his identity, and entered the black market.

Outside the present-day Changqing Immortal City, there was also a black market, even more astonishing in scale than the one outside Huanghe Immortal City.

Not long ago,

Luo Qiantong moved his offices here.

After all, this was the center of the Southern Region, making it convenient to contact various forces.

It would also be easier for Li Chang’an to find him.

Of course.

He still didn’t know that Li Chang’an was Li Fan.

Li Fan’s identity remained shrouded in mystery for all forces.
