Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 327

Chapter 327 A Sudden Surge in Luck, The Truth of What Happened Back Then (Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Chang’an was too lazy to waste words with Wu Gu.

He flicked his finger, sending out a chilling aura.

“Wu Gu, you still don’t know who I am?”

“You…”

Wu Gu was shocked.

This chilling aura, combined with the Soul Banner, made him understand the identity of the person before him.

“So, the so-called Li Fan doesn’t exist at all!”

He finally realized.

The enemy he had been trying so hard to deal with all these years was just a false identity of Li Chang’an.

This huge discrepancy was hard for him to accept.

After a while

, he came back to his senses and asked, “Li Chang’an, what do you want to know?”

“You’re quite clever, saving me the trouble.”

Li Chang’an had originally planned to let the evil spirit torture him.

But Wu Gu’s cooperation surprised him.

“Wu Gu, I want to know, what is the Nether Soul Sect secretly plotting?”

“I don’t know either.”

“As the Holy Son of the Nether Soul Sect, you are among the highest-ranking people below the Nascent Soul True Monarch, yet you don’t know?”

“Without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can never enter the sect’s core.”

Wu Gu looked dejected. He had originally intended to develop well in this Southern Region, laying a solid foundation for his future advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.

But all that was now just empty talk.

He spoke frankly.

The Nether Soul Sect was indeed plotting something earth-shattering.

However, only Nascent Soul True Monarchs knew about it.

“I only know that to complete the plan, a large number of souls are needed for assistance.”

What Wu Gu knew was similar to what the near-fourth-tier diviner Yuan Tianxuan knew.

Their positions within the Nether Soul Sect were roughly equal.

After some questioning,

Li Chang’an didn’t obtain much useful information.

“Never mind, let’s plot against Gu Yunqi first.”

He collected Wu Gu’s soul, his figure flickered, and he arrived beside the earth fire deep within the spiritual vein, about to refine the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.

Just then…

He suddenly sensed something and looked up.

“That person from the Nether Soul Sect is calculating me again. This time the feeling is stronger than before; they must have used some special treasure.”

He ignored it and started refining pills.

…

Meanwhile.

Yan Kingdom, Nether Soul Sect.

Inside the secret chamber, a chilling aura filled the air. Soul lamps flickered, their flames illuminating the scene.

The soul lamp belonging to Wu Gu had long since gone out.

Many Golden Core cultivators from the Demonic Sect gathered there.

A short while later,

a young voice echoed from the depths of the chamber.

“Still failed. We can’t calculate that person.”

“I tried to deduce Li Fan, and the result was the same.”

“This shows that person must be Li Fan. He single-handedly slaughtered a branch of our Nether Soul Sect…”

Hearing the familiar name “Li Fan,” everyone’s expressions turned grave.

Over the years,

they had heard this name many times.

It was unbelievable that a demonic cultivator from a small place could cause such great losses to the Nether Soul Sect.

A moment later,

an aged voice rang out.

“Wu Ze, Wu Lan, you two siblings go to Zhao Kingdom and find Li Fan at all costs.”

As soon as the words were spoken, two Nascent Soul decrees flew out from the depths of the secret chamber, landing in front of the two young Golden Core cultivators.

The two stepped forward together, received the decrees, and respectfully replied,

“We obey Master’s command!”

These two were stronger than Wu Gu, being among the top Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

Wu Ze asked, “Master, are we going to kill Li Fan?”

“No, Li Fan is a talented individual. If we can win him over, we will bring him into our Netherworld Soul Sect.”

The old man’s words surprised many.

The two sides had fought for so many years, their grudges running deep; could they really win him over?

Just as they were thinking this,

the old man’s voice rang out again, this time with a hint of killing intent.

“If we cannot win him over, then kill him, collect his soul, refine it into a lamp wick, and let him suffer in soul fire for a thousand years, so that the world will know the price of offending our Netherworld Soul Sect.”

“Yes!”

Not long after…

The two, carrying the treasures bestowed by the Nascent Soul Demon and the young fourth-tier divination master, traveled to the Zhao Kingdom.

On the way, Wu Ze asked the divination master, “Master Tang, if we reach the Zhao Kingdom, can you deduce the location of Li Fan?”

This divination master was named Tang Taixian.

Although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, his talent in divination was astonishing, reaching the lower fourth tier.

He pondered briefly and replied, “The Zhao Kingdom’s cultivation world is where Li Fan grew up; there should be many traces he left behind. Perhaps we can pinpoint his location based on these traces.”

“Then I’ll trouble Master Tang. After slaying Li Fan, I will certainly reward you handsomely!”

Wu Ze gazed at the distant Zhao Kingdom’s cultivation world, his fighting spirit and killing intent surging in his chest.

At this moment, Wu Lan beside him suddenly spoke.

“If we encounter Li Fan, we should try to win him over first, without showing hostility.”

“Why waste time?”

Wu Ze scoffed. “Li Fan has been an enemy of my Netherworld Sect for years. Do you really think we can win him over?”

Wu Lan frowned slightly and replied, “Li Fan is quite capable. It would be best if we could win him over. Although we are strong, we may not be able to kill him.”

“No need for further words. I will definitely kill him!”

Wu Ze’s voice was cold and sharp, full of confidence.

Along the way,

the brother and sister argued incessantly about this matter.

Tang Taixian remained silent, his eyes deep, gazing towards the Southern Region.

“Strange, why am I so uneasy? With my divination abilities, I shouldn’t be in any danger. Li Fan couldn’t possibly be a divination master too.”

He glanced at the sky.

He felt the heavens were in disarray, a chaotic mess.

…

Meanwhile.

Changqing Mountain, inside the alchemy room.

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged before the alchemy furnace, his eyes reflecting the flickering flames.

This alchemy process had reached its final stage.

“The difficulty of refining this Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill far exceeds that of the Purple Spirit Pill; it’s probably close to the fourth rank. Fortunately, my alchemy skills are sufficient. If it were an ordinary third-rank high-grade alchemist, they would probably have wasted a batch of materials.”

Li Chang’an concentrated intently, carefully controlling the fusion of several clumps of medicinal liquid.

Not long after.

A rich aroma of pills wafted from the furnace.

Inside, three pills floated and sank, gradually becoming perfectly round.

After a moment, Li Chang’an raised his hand.

“Come!”

The three pills flew out simultaneously, landing in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, each pill was entirely golden, as if cast from gold, its surface covered with concentric circles of flowing cloud-like patterns, gleaming with golden light and exuding an enticing fragrance.

It was indeed the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill!

This pill was extremely beneficial to cultivators with earth-elemental roots and earth-type demonic beasts.

Big Yellow stood to the side, its eyes gleaming, constantly swallowing.

“Master, when do we go to deal with Gu Yunqi?”

“No rush. Gu Yunqi is still searching for treasures in those ruins and won’t leave for the time being.”

Li Chang’an calculated with his fingers.

In a few more months, he would have a suitable opportunity to act.

He had waited so many years; he didn’t mind waiting a few more months.

It concerned the last key to the Ancient Wood Cave.

He had to be extremely careful!

…

Cultivation knows no time; five months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time,

Li Chang’an kept an eye on news from various places.

He wanted to know where the mad Emperor of the Great Jin had gone after leaving

. However,

that senior seemed to have vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.

Li Chang’an attempted to use divination to predict the future, but as soon as he began, he sensed the danger of shortening his lifespan.

And it wasn’t just a slight shortening.

He had a premonition.

If he insisted on continuing the divination, he feared he would lose a thousand years of lifespan in an instant, ultimately dying of old age!

“Forget it, as long as that senior doesn’t go berserk and slaughter everyone,” Li Chang’an   said,

abandoning the divination. He moved swiftly to the spirit herb garden, inspecting the growth of the many spirit herbs.   ”Recently, many spirit herbs have advanced, growing quite smoothly, with not a single one failing.”   ”Furthermore, several talented descendants have been born into various families at the foot of the mountain.”   ”Yun Shu and Ling Jing, among others, obtained some excellent treasures when they went out to train…”   Li Chang’an pondered.   In recent days, good news had been constantly spreading throughout Changqing Mountain.   All of this   was likely related to the improvement in fortune.   Because the celestial beast, the Dragon Ox, was cultivating on Changqing Mountain, the fortune of the entire Changqing Mountain and the surrounding area had increased to varying degrees.   ”As expected of a celestial beast, it brings about such significant changes. No wonder ancient texts record that even Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords desire to possess one.”   For major sects and aristocratic families, owning a celestial beast would likely alleviate concerns about succession shortages.   Li Chang’an, as the owner of the Dragon-Ox, has clearly benefited greatly.   Recently, everything he does has gone smoothly; his alchemy and weapon crafting have been flawless, and he even shows signs of further improvement.   Furthermore,   even a casual stroll yields treasures along the way.   He seems to be favored by heaven and earth.   Not long ago,   Li Chang’an went to a nearby spirit mine, disguised as an ordinary cultivator, and gambled on stones with many low-level cultivators.

He didn’t even use his Stone Eye treasure; he simply picked a random stone and unearthed a valuable high-grade spirit stone!

“The ancient texts describe things as being divinely aided; perhaps this is what it means.”

Li Chang’an’s lips curled slightly, thoroughly enjoying this state of being favored by heaven and earth.

Just then,

a chaotic zither melody suddenly rang out from the depths of the spirit herb garden.

Li Chang’an followed the sound and soon saw the Dragon Ox.

At that moment, the Dragon Ox sat before a zither, its face full of rapture, playing strange tunes with its hooves.

“Li Chang’an, how did I play?”

“Not bad.”

Li Chang’an felt a little strange.

This guy was burly and seemed to be someone who excelled at physical combat.

But he preferred to study music, frequently seeking out Jiang Muyu, Luo Yunshu, and others to ask how he played.

These past few days

, every cultivator on Changqing Mountain had experienced countless times the feeling of being played on a zither by a bull.

Li Chang’an stepped forward and asked, “Are you adapting well to life outside?”

“Of course I’m adapting! It’s much more comfortable outside than that small world. If Longma knew what it was like outside, he’d definitely regret not coming with me!”

Longniu grinned, showing no regret about leaving the small world.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an felt relieved.

“If you have any needs, just tell me, and I’ll try my best to fulfill them.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Li Chang’an spoke earnestly and confidently.

Longniu immediately asked, “Alright, could you issue a Golden Core decree, ordering everyone in the entire Changqing Immortal City to abstain from eating beef?”

“…”

Li Chang’an was speechless for a moment.

He looked Longniu up and down and asked, “You are a celestial spirit beast with noble blood, but you were born in the form of a bull, different from ordinary bulls and bull demons. Why don’t you allow outsiders to eat beef?”

“That’s true.”

Longniu thought for a moment and stopped dwelling on the question.

Then,

he insisted on pulling Li Chang’an down to listen to him play a few pieces.

…

After a while…

Li Chang’an left the depths of the spirit herb garden.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a buzzing in his head, tormented by the chaotic zither music.

Just then,

Song Yu’er ran over, presenting him with a jade slip.

“Senior, this is the latest news.”

“Hmm.”

Li Chang’an took the message and glanced at it.

Deep within the Great Jin ruins, various Nascent Soul sects had tried one after another, but still couldn’t open the flying boat’s array, making no progress to date.

However, they had surrounded the flying boat, prohibiting any rogue cultivators from entering.

If Li Chang’an were to obtain another Great Jin Treasure Token in the future, he would have to find a way to bypass the blockade of these Nascent Soul sects to enter the flying boat and exchange for treasures.

As for the Yin Soul Sect’s third-tier spiritual vein,

many Golden Core forces, upon learning the truth, withdrew and ceased participating in the struggle.

In the past few months,

more than ten Foundation Establishment forces had attempted to seize that spiritual vein, but all had failed.

Most of them had mysteriously perished, even their Foundation Establishment ancestors had died tragically within the spiritual vein.

Now…

No one dared to contest that spiritual vein anymore.

This third-tier spiritual vein, which should have been a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, had become desolate.

“The Nether Soul Sect has been operating in Zhao for many years, cultivating a large number of demonic cultivators. They shouldn’t give up easily,”

Li Chang’an estimated. He guessed that the Nether Soul Sect had already dispatched many people to quietly enter Zhao .

However, the location of this third-tier spiritual vein had been exposed.

They would most likely search for or cultivate a new spiritual vein, then use divination to obscure the secrets of heaven and hide the location of the new spiritual vein.

Sure enough

, not long after, Li Chang’an learned that

the Yin Soul Sect had re-established its sect!

This time,

the Yin Soul Sect’s attitude seemed somewhat strange.

A holy son named Wu Ze publicly stated that he would cut off Li Fan’s head to comfort the spirit of the holy son Wu Gu in heaven.

Another holy maiden named Wu Lan invited him to join the Nether Soul Sect, promising him the status of a holy son of the Nether Soul Sect.

The news spread, causing another uproar.

Through these statements,

everyone was almost certain that the Yin Soul Sect had been destroyed by Li Fan.

“Does Li Fan really possess such abilities?”

“A rogue cultivator, yet capable of slaying a holy son of a major sect—truly remarkable!”

For a time, the entire Southern Region was abuzz with discussion.

Countless messages flooded into Changqing Mountain.

Li Chang’an looked at these messages, lost in thought.

“An invitation to become the Holy Son of the Netherworld Soul Sect?”

This invitation, no matter how you looked at it, revealed a hint of a trap.

The benefits of becoming a Holy Son were indeed numerous.

As long as one performed exceptionally well, standing out among the many Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, one could receive the full support of a Nascent Soul sect, just like Zi Xi, without needing to worry about resources for Nascent Soul formation.

But Li Chang’an had no such plans.

“Simply cultivate peacefully.”

His luck was currently soaring, his fortune profound; even a casual stroll could yield treasures.

In the next thousand years, he would eventually gather enough opportunities to form a Nascent Soul!

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

During this time,

the outer perimeter of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty ruins had been almost completely explored by disciples from various sects.

Zi Xi and Mu Hongyu, among others, left.

Gu Yunqi and the other disciples from the Yellow Sand Sect and White Tiger Sect did the same.

Li Chang’an recalled his puppet body, calculated with his fingers, and felt the time was ripe.

It was time to deal with Gu Yunqi!

“I’d better find someone to take the blame for me first.”

Li Chang’an pondered silently.

Last time, when dealing with Wei Xu, he had Liu Haichao take the blame for him. It

proved to be a

very correct decision.

After that incident, Liu Haichao only enjoyed a brief period of glory before being caught in an endless siege.

Now, he dared not leave the Zixia Sect, unable to seek opportunities outside the sect, and could only cultivate slowly within its walls.

The other holy sons and daughters had made considerable gains outside the sect.

But he could only watch helplessly, the torment in his heart unimaginable.

“Who will take the blame for killing Gu Yunqi?”

Several figures quickly flashed through Li Chang’an’s mind.

Just then,

he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the vast sky.

The fourth-level divination master of the Yin Soul Sect was again divination his location.

“A demonic cultivator!”

Li Chang’an confirmed the scapegoat.

Most of the demonic cultivators of the Yin Soul Sect harbored murderous intent towards him, having traveled thousands of miles from the Yan Kingdom to deal with him.

He naturally couldn’t let them have it too easy.

Thinking of this…

Li Chang’an immediately used a third-tier puppet to move away from Changqing Mountain, deliberately leaking a trace of his aura.

This trace of aura was enough to serve as bait to lure the demonic cultivators of the Yin Soul Sect.

In the following days, he began to select a suitable location.

One night,

Song Yu’er suddenly ran over, presenting a storage bag.

“Senior, someone suddenly brought a storage bag just now. The person didn’t say anything and disappeared.”

“Hmm?”

Li Chang’an used a burst of magic power to send the storage bag a distance away.

He used the puppet to open it.

Inside the storage bag, there was no danger, only a large number of treasures for alchemy and weapon crafting.

On these treasures, Li Chang’an sensed a familiar aura.

“Xue Qiansi.”

Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

After Xue Qiansi left, there was no further news about her, as if she had vanished into thin air.

Unexpectedly, she would suddenly bring a pile of treasures.

Among the many treasures,

a jade slip lay quietly.

Li Chang’an took it out and probed it with a wisp of divine sense, quickly hearing the words left by Xue Qiansi.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I come from the Boundless Sword Sect, founded by my master.”

“My master was kind-hearted, dedicating her life to good deeds and accumulating merit. She was highly respected in the Yuan Kingdom. In her later years, she found me in the mortal realm and brought me into the immortal realm…”

Xue Qiansi recounted her experiences in the jade slip.

The reason she became a universally reviled demonic cultivator was precisely because of her master.

Years ago, her master went out to deal with the demonic cultivators of the Five Poisons Valley in the Yan Kingdom. She was unfortunately poisoned by the Illusionary Poison, which triggered her inner demons, drastically changing her personality .

She became insane and bloodthirsty, slaughtering countless righteous sects. After returning to the Boundless Sword Sect, her master massacred all the disciples and elders. Left

with no other choice,

Xue Qiansi had to take action, hunting down her master and ultimately killing her.

This was witnessed by outsiders, leading to misunderstandings.

However,

she never clarified the misunderstandings.

Her master had both raised and taught her, and to protect her master’s reputation, she was willing to bear all the sins and infamy.

Now, her only wish is to slay the demonic cultivator from the Five Poisons Valley and avenge her master.

She has already found the demonic cultivator’s trail and intends to take his life.

However, the demonic cultivator’s strength is astonishing.

Knowing that her fate is uncertain, she gives all her treasures to Li Chang’an to repay the life-saving grace he bestowed upon her years ago.
