Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 320

Chapter 320 Breakthrough Opportunity, Cursing Li Chang’an to Death (Seeking Subscriptions)

The mastermind behind the black market knew the rules well.

Although he had never met Li Chang’an, he would send someone every year to deliver a portion of the black market’s profits to Changqing Mountain.

Because of this,

Li Chang’an didn’t mind the existence of the black market.

The two sides did not sign a spiritual contract, but reached a tacit understanding through mutual benefit.

Not long after,

Li Chang’an found Luo Qiantong in the black market and, as usual, retrieved a batch of information.

Luo Qiantong’s information network had spread throughout the cultivation world of the Three Kingdoms, and he had a good grasp of the movements of the Yuan Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.

“Uncle Li, there is a fourth-level divination master from the Yan Kingdom’s Nether Soul Sect who is targeting you.”

“I know.”

Li Chang’an didn’t care. He had already sensed that person’s presence.

Now, he

was also a fourth-level divination master.

Even without divination results, his own divination skills alone were enough to make the other party unable to predict.

“Qiantong, keep an eye out for news about these treasures.”

Li Chang’an tossed over a list of materials, including not only the treasures he needed to plot against Gu Yunqi, but also those he needed for his own body refinement.

After giving a few simple instructions, he prepared to leave.

Just then,

midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s Divination – Auspicious]

[You leave the black market and return to Changqing Mountain. On the way, you rescue a stranger who is a Golden Core cultivator. To repay your savior, the cultivator gives you armor made of Heavenly Net Gold.]

“Heavenly Net Gold?”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred.

This treasure was precisely the fourth-tier material that True Monarch Zixia needed.

He hadn’t expected to obtain it, yet he saw it in the divination.

“I can’t delay; it would be troublesome if someone else rescued me.”

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, and he immediately left the black market.

He spread his divine sense, searching back and forth between the black market and Changqing Mountain, and soon detected a trace of blood.

Following this trace of blood…

Li Chang’an quickly spotted a female cultivator covered in blood.

Judging from her appearance, she wasn’t a Golden Core cultivator from the Southern or Western Regions, and he wondered why she was here.

She was unconscious, barely breathing, her life hanging by a thread, with one foot already on the path of reincarnation.

“This is troublesome.”

Li Chang’an channeled his Evergreen Magic Power to examine her condition, and frowned.

If it weren’t for the lingering aura, he would have almost thought she was dead.

“Her Golden Core is shattered. To revive her, it will require a considerable amount of treasure.”

Li Chang’an tore open her blood-stained robe, revealing a tattered dark gold armor.

The divination confirmed it; the armor was indeed crafted from Heavenly Net Gold.

However,

just like Li Chang’an’s Crimson Scale Armor,

although the material reached the fourth rank, due to limitations in crafting techniques, this armor’s grade was only near the fourth rank.

“Consider this armor her medical fee.”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, putting her away, and swiftly headed towards Changqing Mountain.

In the blink of an eye,

he arrived at Changqing Mountain, drawing upon the immense spiritual power of its veins and infusing it into her golden core.

Under the infusion of this vast spiritual power, the once-dull golden core regained its luster.

Li Chang’an then used a wisp of Changqing magic power to thread a needle and repair the cracks in her golden core.

During this time,

he took out a large quantity of pills and healing herbs, dissolved their medicinal properties, and channeled them into her body, barely keeping her alive.

After working for more than two hours, the person’s breathing finally stabilized somewhat.

“It was truly difficult; it was almost like saving a dead person.”

Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed a few pills to restore his energy.

The effort expended in saving her was no less than refining more than ten batches of high-grade third-tier pills at once.

He not only repaired her shattered dantian and golden core, but also reconnected the meridians that had been broken into pieces. Throughout this process, he had to constantly monitor her life force, daring not to be distracted for even a moment.

After that, things were simple.

Li Chang’an used his third-tier superior-grade spiritual healing techniques to gradually restore her health.

“This person’s golden core is of good quality, reaching the half-step immortality level. Could she be a prodigy from some Nascent Soul sect?”

he pondered.

If she truly was a prodigy from a major sect, he might gain access to a Nascent Soul sect’s network.

Before he knew it, another hour had passed.

Her life force had completely stabilized.

A moment later,

her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

“Thank you for your treatment, fellow Daoist.”

“It was just a favor.”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, casually swallowing a few pills.

“Where do you come from, fellow Daoist? What is your name? Why are you so badly injured?”

“I am Xue Qiansi, a cultivator from the Yuan Kingdom. As for my injuries, this matter is somewhat complicated…”

Xue Qiansi’s voice was weak, and she did not reveal the reason for her injury.

Li Chang’an didn’t delve into it. After all, he had acted for the Heavenly Luo Gold; nothing else mattered.

Having another connection was best.

If not, so be it.

Xue Qiansi struggled to her feet, sat cross-legged, and circulated her cultivation technique. Shock quickly appeared in her eyes.

She knew clearly her state before she fainted; her entire body was almost shattered.

But now,

everything was restored!

Not even a trace of internal injury.

This kind of skill was simply miraculous.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her shock, and then asked, “Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps a fourth-tier spiritual healer?”

Li Chang’an smiled faintly, “Not yet, just some special techniques.”

“I see.”

Xue Qiansi didn’t ask any further questions, subconsciously probing her storage bag with her divine sense, wanting to take out some spirit stones as a token of her gratitude.

However, she quickly realized that her storage bag had been lost in the battle.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on her pale face.

“Fellow Daoist has shown me great kindness, and I truly have no way to repay it. The materials of this armor are quite excellent; please accept it.”

Just as the divination indicated, she offered the armor as her repayment.

Li Chang’an naturally didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it on the spot.

After that,

Xue Qiansi requested to recuperate on Changqing Mountain for a few days.

Once she had fully recovered, she would leave and not cause Li Chang’an any trouble.

Li Chang’an did not refuse.

After all,

the divination showed good fortune.

This meant that taking in this person wouldn’t cause too many problems.

…

In the following days,

Li Chang’an continued refining the armor.

Finally, he successfully separated the remaining refining materials, leaving only a fist-sized piece of Heavenly Net Gold.

“Finally done!”

Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a large piece of Heavenly Net Gold should be enough to exchange for a Spirit Cloud Fruit from True Monarch Zixia.

He informed Zixi of this and went to the courtyard to wait for her arrival.

Xue Qiansi had almost recovered.

She stood not far away, feeling the peace and tranquility of the entire Changqing Mountain, a hint of envy appearing in her eyes.

Just then,

a purple flying boat streaked across the sky and arrived at Changqing Mountain in an instant.

Xue Qiansi’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately disappeared from the spot, returning to her cave and sealing off all her aura.

“Eh?”

Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

Could this woman have a grudge against the Zixia Sect?

He did not show any abnormality, stepped forward, and handed the piece of Heavenly Net Gold to Zixi.

“Holy Maiden, this is the Heavenly Net Gold requested by True Monarch Zixia. I wish to exchange it for a Spirit Cloud Fruit.”

“Fellow Daoist Li truly surprises me; to be able to obtain such a treasure.”

A strange light flashed in Zixi’s beautiful eyes as she put away the Heavenly Net Gold.

Even she would have difficulty obtaining such a treasure.

Li Chang’an stayed on Changqing Mountain all day, never venturing out to seek opportunities. How could he possibly obtain such a fourth-tier treasure?

Just as he was pondering this

, Mu Hongyu’s voice suddenly rang out on the flying boat.

“Fellow Daoist Li, there’s the aura of a demonic cultivator on your Changqing Mountain.”

“A demonic cultivator?”

Li Chang’an looked puzzled, glancing at Mu Hongyu.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, what do you mean by this?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, did you save a cultivator named Xue Qiansi? If I’m not mistaken, this Heavenly Net Gold you possess was extracted from her armor.”

Mu Hongyu’s figure flickered, arriving on Changqing Mountain.

Her aura was powerful, her full head of red hair seemingly burning, adding a touch of heat to the entire Changqing Mountain.

“Fellow Daoist Li, that Xue Qiansi comes from the Wuya Sword Sect, an affiliated Golden Core sect of my Vermilion Bird Sect.”

Mu Hongyu’s eyes sharpened as she spoke of Xue Qiansi’s origins, simultaneously scanning the entire Changqing Mountain.

According to her,

Xue Qiansi was originally a righteous swordsmanship genius.

However, in her pursuit of ultimate power, she colluded with the demonic path, secretly slaughtering numerous righteous sects of the Yuan Kingdom.

Later, her master discovered this.

Reprimanded, she harbored resentment and, in a fit of rage, killed her master who had raised her and annihilated the entire Boundless Sword Sect.

After that, she abandoned her pretense and completely became a demonic cultivator!

Mu Hongyu came to the Zhao Kingdom not only to assist the Zixia Sect but also to hunt down Xue Qiansi.

“The Boundless Sword Sect’s most prized treasure is the near-fourth-tier magic weapon, the Heavenly Net Armor.”

As she spoke, Mu Hongyu’s gaze fell upon the cave where Xue Qiansi was hiding.

She didn’t attack directly.

After all, this was Changqing Mountain, Li Chang’an’s training ground.

To attack directly would be to slap Li Chang’an in the face, inevitably straining their relationship.

She said to Li Chang’an, “Fellow Daoist Li, that Xue Qiansi is vicious and has killed countless people. Could you allow me to capture her?”

“Is there some misunderstanding?”

Li Chang’an frowned. If he had truly saved a treacherous demonic cultivator, the divination wouldn’t have shown auspiciousness.

“There’s absolutely no misunderstanding!”

Mu Hongyu was very certain, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes.

Zi Xi clearly understood the matter.

She secretly transmitted her voice, “Fellow Daoist Li, is this Heavenly Net Gold truly refined from the Heavenly Net Armor?”

“That’s right.”

Li Chang’an didn’t hide anything.

After receiving the reply, Zi Xi glanced meaningfully at the cave dwelling and didn’t ask any further questions.

She transmitted her voice to Mu Hongyu, “Fellow Daoist Mu, the ruins in the ancient secret realm are of great importance. We shouldn’t waste time on a demonic cultivator. After we finish dealing with the ruins, I will help you kill her. What do you think?”

“Alright, I’ll do as Fellow Daoist Zi says.”

Mu Hongyu could tell that Zi Xi was clearly helping Li Chang’an.

If she disagrees, it might escalate the situation.

There’s no other way.

She had no choice but to return to the flying boat with Zi Xi.

Before leaving, her voice echoed across Changqing Mountain.

“Fellow Daoist Li, although Xue Qiansi is beautiful, she has a heart of stone. You must not trust her. That’s all I have to say!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Li Chang’an looked at the spot where the flying boat had disappeared with a strange expression.

Could it be that Mu Hongyu thought he was after Xue Qiansi’s beauty? Just as

he was thinking this,

the cave gate opened.

Xue Qiansi walked out, her pretty face full of apology.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I’m so sorry to have caused you trouble.”

“It’s alright, it’s nothing serious.”

Li Chang’an said dismissively.

He asked, “Fellow Daoist Xue, did you really kill your master and slaughter the entire sect?”

“This matter is very complicated, I’m sorry I can’t tell you.”

Xue Qiansi bit her lip lightly, a hint of struggle flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Li, rest assured, once I fulfill my master’s last wish, I will go to Mu Hongyu to explain everything. It will absolutely not affect your reputation.”

“Hmm, do as you please.”

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Li Chang’an was too lazy to ask any further.

He returned to his cave and continued his cultivation.

A few days later.

He suddenly sensed that

someone was spying near Changqing Mountain.

Li Chang’an quickly caught a familiar aura.

“Qin Hong, the Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect.”

This person had come not long ago, intending to attack Changqing Mountain, but had to retreat due to Zi Xi’s strength.

Now, he had returned.

This time.

Qin Hong did not retreat.

He had a cold expression, observed Changqing Mountain, and finally concluded.

“A third-tier high-grade formation, of high quality, but it cannot stump me.”

He himself was a formation master, exceptionally talented in formations, also reaching the third-tier high-grade level, and possessed various formation-breaking treasures.

Soon, one treasure after another flew out of his storage bag, hovering around Changqing Mountain.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began to break the formation.

“Boom!”

The entire Changqing Mountain trembled for a moment.

In the blink of an eye,

a crack was opened in the formation.

Qin Hong cast a pre-prepared formation into the crack, preventing it from closing, and entered Changqing Mountain through the crack.

He sneered and released his full aura without reservation.

“Li Chang’an, I am Qin Hong, the Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect. I have come here today to take your head!”

Sensing this aura,

Xue Qiansi’s expression changed drastically inside the cave.

She never expected that Li Chang’an would provoke such a powerful enemy.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you must leave quickly! I will hold this person off!”

She knew that the power of these Nascent Soul sect Holy Sons was far beyond what ordinary Golden Core cultivators could withstand.

Li Chang’an smiled faintly: “No rush, this person is not that strong.”

He walked out of the cave and into the courtyard.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, you’ve come from afar, why not sit down and have a cup of tea?”

“My time is precious, I have no time for tea!”

Qin Hong’s hand flashed with spiritual light as

he summoned his magic weapon. Worried that Zi Xi would arrive, he dared not waste a moment and was about to unleash his weapon.

But the next instant,

he was shocked to find himself in the courtyard, a cup of hot tea placed before him.

“What happened? I was clearly in mid-air, how did I end up in the courtyard in the blink of an eye?”

Qin Hong felt uneasy.

Next,

he experienced the same helplessness and despair that Wei Xu had felt.

In an instant, he became Li Chang’an’s prisoner, taken into Li Chang’an’s spirit beast pouch.

“This person can be put to good use. He’s not a disciple of True Monarch Huangsha, so he won’t often meet with Nascent Soul experts. I can refine him into a puppet and use him to lure out Gu Yunqi.”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and retrieved the array-breaking treasure and formation left by Qin Hong.

In an instant,

the entire Changqing Mountain returned to normal.

The battle, from beginning to end, lasted only a few breaths.

Xue Qiansi stood aside, staring blankly at everything, her eyes somewhat dazed.

She had originally planned to fight to the death to buy Li Chang’an time to escape.

But what happened next far exceeded her expectations.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you…you are a strange person who has traveled the mortal world?”

Xue Qiansi couldn’t suppress the shock in her heart and couldn’t help but ask.

She had heard that

some strong people liked to disguise themselves as weak people to travel the world and experience everything from another perspective.

In the mortal world, there are some cultivators who travel the world.

There are also such people in the cultivation world.

Just now, Li Chang’an’s ability to suppress Qin Hong so easily was really too incredible, so much so that Xue Qiansi had such thoughts.

“I am not a strange person at all, I just have some skills hidden.”

Li Chang’an smiled and did not explain further before returning to his cave.

He interrogated Qin Hong for a while, and after obtaining the information he wanted, he refined him into a puppet and manipulated him to quietly leave Changqing Mountain and return to the ancient ruins.

From then on.

Qin Hong thus became his eye planted beside Gu Yunqi.

A few days later, Zi Xi arrived again.

This time,

she brought Li Chang’an a Spirit Cloud Fruit, along with words from her master, True Monarch Zixia.

“Fellow Daoist Li, my master said that a thumb-sized piece of Heavenly Net Gold is enough to exchange for a Spirit Cloud Fruit. She got a good deal this time. If you encounter any trouble, you can seek her help.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was overjoyed.

As expected of the renowned Fairy Zixia, she was indeed generous!

He was given a promise simply because of a fourth-tier material.

Within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Zixia Sect, this promise was practically a get-out-of-jail-free card.

“Please thank Senior Zixia for me, Holy Maiden,”

Li Chang’an said sincerely as he accepted the Spirit Cloud Fruit.

This Spirit Cloud Fruit was of extremely high quality, very suitable for alchemy.

At this point,

the materials for the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill

were only missing one last treasure called “Yellow Sand Star Crystal.” “Things

are going smoothly enough. Perhaps I’ll be able to gather all the treasures soon,”

Li Chang’an said with a smile, in high spirits.

After seeing Zi Xi off,

he returned to his cave and continued his cultivation.

That night,

another joyful event occurred.

While cultivating, Li Chang’an suddenly realized that he had faintly touched the threshold of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

At this moment, if he consumed the Purple Spirit Pill and the other treasures that would help him break through, he had a certain chance of directly breaking through and becoming a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

However, he was not impatient, suppressing his joy and slowly accumulating his magical power.

“Throughout my cultivation, I have never consumed any breakthrough pills to advance to the next minor realm. My potential has not been diminished in the slightest, and I should continue to let breakthroughs happen naturally.”

Li Chang’an’s mindset was quite stable.

He had a lifespan of over a thousand years and didn’t care about accumulating a few more years.

…

Cultivation knows no time, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day,

in the ancient ruins and secret realm, on the flying boat of the Yellow Sand Sect,

Gu Yunqi suddenly found Qin Hong and asked, “Fellow Daoist Qin, why haven’t you captured Li Chang’an yet? Have you encountered any trouble?”

Li Chang’an, controlling Qin Hong, looked troubled.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, I am truly ashamed. Li Chang’an possesses a treasure bestowed by Zi Xi, and I cannot capture him for the time being.”

“Zi Xi again!”

Gu Yunqi snorted coldly.

The other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters showed expressions of realization.

If Zi Xi intervened, it was normal that they couldn’t capture Li Chang’an.

At this moment, a young voice rang out.

“Fellow Daoist Gu, who is this Li Chang’an you’re talking about? Do you have any grudge against him?”

The person who asked the question was a young man wearing white armor.

His name was Cui Baihong, one of the holy sons of the White Tiger Sect.

Gu Yunqi replied, “It’s not exactly an enmity, but my master ordered…”

He then explained the matter concerning Li Chang’an.

After listening to him,

Cui Baihong smiled and said, “This matter is simple, why go to such trouble?”

“Oh? What brilliant plan does Fellow Daoist Cui have?”

“I have a guest elder in my sect who possesses a third-tier superior-grade curse technique. He can cast a curse on Li Chang’an, killing him remotely!”

With that, he summoned the guest elder.

Upon hearing that Li Chang’an was only a Golden Core early-stage cultivator, the guest elder’s face showed confidence.

“This is not difficult, but I need Li Chang’an’s aura, or an object tainted by his aura. Does anyone have any?”

“Yes!”

Gu Yunqi waved his hand.

A piece of jade flew out of his storage bag and landed in front of the guest elder.

This piece of jade came from the ruins of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and once belonged to the palace thousands of feet high at the very center of the ruins.

Later, the palace collapsed, and all its treasures disappeared.

But Gu Yunqi found this jade stone imbued with Li Chang’an’s aura in the ruins.

“Is this aura enough?”

“Enough!”

The guest elder smiled confidently, forming hand seals to extract Li Chang’an’s aura.

At the same time,

a seemingly ordinary scarecrow flew out of his storage bag.

“Merge!”

He pointed, and the aura flew into the scarecrow.

The scarecrow’s appearance changed, vaguely resembling Li Chang’an.

Immediately afterward, streaks of cold light flew out, transforming into seven long, black, icy nail-like magical artifacts, hovering beside the scarecrow.

“Suppress!”

the guest elder shouted coldly.

One of the nail-like artifacts flashed with a ghostly light and suddenly pierced into the scarecrow’s head.

…

At this moment,

Li Chang’an was sitting cross-legged deep within his cave, accumulating his Golden Core power.

He felt a sharp pain between his brows, opened his eyes, and his gaze was extremely solemn.

“What a bizarre curse-killing technique!”
