Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 339

Chapter 339 Underground Transaction, Nascent Soul True Monarch’s Gratitude (Seeking Subscriptions)

According to Yao Tai,

this world is full of abandoned mines.

Li Chang’an wouldn’t waste his time on a single abandoned mine.

Furthermore, he planned to target the treasure troves of the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core forces in this world,

especially the Golden Core forces.

The Golden Core True Persons in this world have been collecting Fire Cloud Crystals for the Fire Cloud God Lord for many years.

“Each Golden Core True Person should have quite a few Fire Cloud Crystals, but we must be cautious and not let the Fire Cloud God Lord notice.”

Li Chang’an didn’t plan to act now.

He intended to live in this world for a while longer, thoroughly understand and integrate into it before making his move.

Afterwards, he focused his mind and continued searching for Fire Cloud Crystals in the mines.

…

Meanwhile,

in a secret chamber deep within the Yao family’s territory, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Due to the leak of information about Fire Cloud Crystals, the Yao family had been targeted by many surrounding forces.

Even

Foundation Establishment experts might come to plunder the Fire Cloud Crystals.

The Yao family member who leaked the information had already been dealt with by Yao Tai.

The question now was how to deal with the upcoming crisis?

“Is that Senior Li really not here to steal our Yao family’s Fire Cloud Crystal?”

“Probably not.”

“We can’t be careless; we might be in danger.”

The entire Yao family was uncertain about Li Chang’an, this unfamiliar powerful figure.

They had no other choice, and dared not ask Li Chang’an to leave, so they could only let him remain in Fire Rock City.

“Patriarch, is this secret chamber safe? Will Senior Li hear our conversation?”

“Don’t worry, he won’t hear us.”

Yao Tai was confident, because he had used various methods to isolate the secret chamber from the outside world.

Little did he know, Li Chang’an had heard

their conversation

clearly.

Of course, he couldn’t be bothered with the thoughts of such a small family.

One of the clan elders said, “That Senior Li must have come for the Fire Cloud Crystals. Otherwise, why would he go to that abandoned mine? I’m afraid he won’t find any more Fire Cloud Crystals and, dissatisfied, will vent his anger on our Yao family.”

Yao Feng retorted, “Grandpa, Senior Li has bestowed many treasures upon me. He shouldn’t be that kind of person.”

“Hard to say!”

The elder shook his head, his expression grave.

Yao Yun gently patted Yao Feng’s shoulder and whispered, “Feng, you’re too young and don’t understand the wickedness of people. Senior Li seems to treat us well, but who knows what he’s really thinking?”

“Sister, Senior Li is definitely not someone who covets Fire Cloud Crystals. Otherwise, why would he return them to us?”

Yao Feng said firmly.

Due to his previous experience, he had great respect for Li Chang’an.

Young people always admire the strong.

Hearing this,

Li Chang’an smiled calmly.

He had indeed come for the Fire Cloud Crystals, but the amount was too small for him to be of any interest.

“This lad is simple-minded. If no one guides him, he’ll likely suffer a lot in the future.”

Li Chang’an, accustomed to the complexities of human nature, had a favorable impression of this kind of simple young man.

He used his fourth-order divination power to manipulate the heavenly secrets and arranged a few opportunities for Yao Feng.

About half an hour later,

he discovered another Fire Cloud Crystal.

…

At this moment,

the Yao family had already devised a plan.

They would still offer the Fire Cloud Crystal to the Azure Lotus Goddess in exchange for her protection.

Of course, they all decided to keep it a secret from Li Chang’an, fearing that he would try to steal the Fire Cloud Crystal.

This time,

the Yao family did not send anyone to find the Azure Lotus Goddess, but contacted her through special channels.

The next day, an aura of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator descended upon Fire Rock City.

The newcomer was a female cultivator, dressed in a long emerald green dress, with a graceful figure and exquisite features, standing on an emerald green lotus treasure.

It was none other than the Azure Lotus Goddess!

Upon seeing her, the Yao family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Senior Bilian is a mid-level God-King, while that Senior Li is only a low-level God-King.”

“With Senior Bilian’s protection, there’s no need to worry.”

The Yao family members greeted her warmly, welcoming God-King Bilian into the Yao family’s main hall.

Soon,

Yao Tai presented the Fire Cloud Crystal.

God-King Bilian examined it, her face showing satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

“Not bad, it is indeed a Fire Cloud Crystal. Where did you obtain it?”

“Senior Bilian, this Fire Cloud Crystal was discovered by a member of my Yao family in an abandoned mine, but…”

“But what?”

“In that abandoned mine, another senior is searching for Fire Cloud Crystals.”

“Oh?”

God-King Bilian seemed somewhat surprised.

“There’s another God-King here? Lead the way!”

“Yes, Senior, please follow me.”

Yao Tai was full of respect as he led God-King Bilian, bringing her to the abandoned mine.

God-King Bilian glanced into the depths of the mine and sensed the early Foundation Establishment aura that Li Chang’an had deliberately maintained.

She turned to Yao Tai and said, “I’m going to see that fellow Daoist. You wait outside.”

Yao Tai hurriedly said, “Senior, several forces have threatened my Yao family, demanding that we hand over the Fire Cloud Crystal.”

“Don’t worry, with me here, everything is fine!”

With that, the Azure Lotus Goddess transformed into a stream of light and entered the mine.

In the blink of an eye,

she was standing before Li Chang’an.

“My name is Tang Bilian. This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar. May I ask your name?”

“My surname is Li,”

Li Chang’an replied casually.

Tang Bilian sized him up, confirming he was indeed at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and her expression relaxed slightly.

She released her mid-Foundation Establishment aura and stated bluntly, “Fellow Daoist Li, the Yao family has long been subservient to me. This abandoned mine is my property. Please leave.”

“Your property?”

“That’s right!”

Tang Bilian’s attitude was firm, offering no room for negotiation.

Li Chang’an smiled faintly, “Those fellow Daoists outside might not agree.” “

Where are the fellow Daoists outside? Fellow Daoist Li, are you perhaps trying to stall for time?”

Tang Bilian’s tone suddenly turned cold, her expression becoming unfriendly.

A flash of spiritual light appeared in her hand, revealing a slowly rotating jade lotus treasure.

Clearly,

if Li Chang’an didn’t leave

, she planned to take action and forcibly expel him.

As a mid-level God King, she was confident in dealing with Li Chang’an, a low-level God King.

But as she prepared to act, her expression suddenly changed.

In her perception,

the auras of three more mid-level God Kings appeared above the Yao family’s territory.

“Not good!”

Her expression turned grave. Stepping on the Jade Lotus Treasure, she instantly left the mine and appeared on the Yao family’s land.   At

this moment, many members of the Yao family looked on in terror, staring at the three God-Kings in the sky.

The auras of those three were no weaker than Tang Bilian’s!   She asked in a deep voice, “Why have you three come?” ”   Haha, naturally for the Fire Cloud Crystal!”   one of them laughed.   He seemed polite, but he carried a faint but unmistakable aura of ferocity.   ”I am Black Tiger, and these two are my brothers, Azure Tiger and Crimson Tiger.”   ”So you are three fellow Daoists from Three Tigers City.”   Tang Bilian’s face turned somewhat ugly.   Three Tigers City was also a Foundation Establishment power. The three God-Kings of this power were all quite powerful, with notorious reputations, and their hands were stained with blood.   To seize the Fire Cloud Crystal, they had always been ruthless, slaughtering countless low-level forces.   Tang Bilian knew that with her strength, she could only handle one of them at most.   Faced with the combined forces of the three, she had no choice but to retreat.   ”What do the three of you intend to do?”   ”Haha, this is simple!”   Black Tiger God King laughed, quite satisfied with Tang Bilian’s cooperation.   He pointed to the Yao family below and said, “Let these Yao family members serve as mine slaves, digging through abandoned mines for us. If they discover Fire Cloud Crystals, the four of us will split them equally   . What does Fellow Daoist Tang think?” Hearing this,   the faces of the many Yao family members below turned deathly pale.   Mine slaves in the cultivation world are all miserable; few live to a ripe old age.   If all the cultivators of the Yao family were to become mine slaves,   the Yao family would likely disappear completely in less than a century!   Yao Tai, his face filled with panic, cried out, “Senior Bilian, please save my Yao family!”   ”Please, God King, save my Yao family!”   ”God King, save my Yao family…”   The Yao family members all knelt down, their faces filled with fear, pleading loudly.   Now, it seemed they could only rely on this Bilian God King.   Yao Feng did not kneel down.   He gritted his teeth, turned, and ran towards the abandoned mine.   Seeing this, Yao Yun was extremely anxious and asked through a telepathic message, “Ah Feng, where are you going?”   ”I’m going to beg Senior Li!”   ”Senior Li is only a low-level God King, how can he help? Come back quickly!”   ”No!”   Yao Feng made up his mind and ran off without looking back.   Meanwhile,   on the Yao family’s grounds, the Black Tiger God King spoke again.   ”Fellow Daoist Bi Lian, our patience is limited. What do you think?”   Hearing this, a hint of conflict flashed in Tang Bi Lian’s eyes.   Not long ago, she had promised Yao Tai that she would protect the entire Yao family.   But now,   this matter had exceeded her expectations.   She couldn’t possibly fight three cultivators of the same level for the sake of the Yao family, and ultimately had no choice but to agree.

“Alright, as Fellow Daoist Black Tiger says, let these Yao family members become mine slaves, mining Fire Cloud Crystals for us.”

Upon hearing this,

countless members of the Yao family froze.

The chorus of pleas vanished, leaving only a deathly silence.

Yao Tai, his face ashen, slumped to the ground, both angry and powerless.

Facing a God-King level expert, even if the entire Yao family were to fight, there was no chance of victory.

He could almost see the tragic future of many Yao family members.

Just then,

Li Chang’an’s calm voice rang out above the Yao family’s territory.

“I want to know, how many Fire Cloud Crystals do you all possess?”

“Hmm?”

Black Tiger and the other two looked at Li Chang’an.

Seeing that Li Chang’an was only a low-level God-King, they didn’t pay much attention.

“Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps want to buy the Fire Cloud Crystals we possess?”

“You all misunderstand, I don’t want to buy them.”

Li Chang’an casually waved his hand.

Then, three loud “booms” were heard.

The bodies of Black Tiger and the other two exploded simultaneously, turning into three clouds of blood mist.

Their storage bags flew into Li Chang’an’s hands.

Li Chang’an removed the restrictions, opened them, and was immediately disappointed.

“Only this much?”

The Fire Cloud Crystals in the three people’s storage bags combined were only the size of pills, far from meeting his needs.

He took the Fire Cloud Crystals and then looked at Tang Bilian.

At this moment,

Tang Bilian froze.

The three Black Tigers who had left her helpless had actually been casually killed by Li Chang’an!

Feeling Li Chang’an’s gaze, she trembled and finally reacted.

“Li… Fellow Daoist Li…”

Tang Bilian’s face turned pale, and her voice trembled.

How could she not understand?

Li Chang’an’s strength was far more than what he had shown; he might even be a peak God King!

Just thinking about how she had almost attacked Li Chang’an earlier made her feel a chill run down her spine, making her feel cold all over.

Li Chang’an said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Tang, I want to ask some questions. If you answer them to my satisfaction, I can spare your life.”

Tang Bilian dared not utter a single word of refusal.

She nodded repeatedly, letting Li Chang’an ask whatever he wanted.

Li Chang’an casually waved his hand, sealing off the space with his magic power, isolating their voices from the outside world.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, how many Fire Cloud Crystals do you have?”

“I… I don’t have many. Every time I get Fire Cloud Crystals, I hand them over to Emperor Tianlan as soon as possible.”

Tang Bilian didn’t hesitate at all, presenting her storage bag to Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an opened it and looked inside.

There weren’t many Fire Cloud Crystals, only about twenty in total.

“Only these?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, that’s really all.”

Tang Bilian hurriedly explained.

All God Kings were like her; after obtaining Fire Cloud Crystals, they would hand them over to a certain God Emperor as soon as possible, daring not to keep any for themselves.

The region she was in was called “Tianlan Divine Domain,” governed by Emperor Tianlan.

Li Chang’an asked her, “What is Emperor Tianlan’s cultivation level?”

Tang Bilian replied, “He broke through the God King’s shackles a hundred years ago, becoming a God Emperor, and is still a low-level God Emperor.”

A low-level God Emperor is at the early Golden Core stage.

This level of cultivation…

He posed no threat to Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an then asked, “Does he have a large quantity of Fire Cloud Crystals?”

“Probably not many; he needs to offer them to the Fire Cloud God Lord,”

Tang Bilian replied.

Even a God Emperor wouldn’t dare hoard Fire Cloud Crystals.

If the Fire Cloud God Lord found out, death would be the only outcome.

“Is the Fire Cloud God Lord that powerful? Has no one challenged him?”

“Of course, but no one has succeeded,”

Tang Bilian said.

A hundred years ago, a peak God Emperor, dissatisfied with the Fire Cloud God Lord’s rule, publicly challenged him.

However, that God Emperor suffered a crushing defeat, only lasting five moves before his Golden Core was shattered, and his cultivation was crippled.

He was thrown into a spirit mine and became a mine slave, his fate unknown to this day.

“A peak Golden Core cultivator could last five moves… it seems my guess was correct. That person wasn’t a Nascent Soul cultivator; he simply broke through the Golden Core limit,”

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

If the Fire Cloud God Lord were a Nascent Soul True Monarch, that peak God Emperor wouldn’t have lasted a single move!

Of course, the possibility that the Fire Cloud God Lord is hiding his cultivation level cannot be ruled out.

But this possibility is extremely small.

He is already the ruler of this world, who would he be hiding his cultivation level for?

“Who else has challenged the Fire Cloud God Lord?”

“Eighty years ago, two high-level God Emperors challenged him together, but they couldn’t even last five moves, they were defeated in four moves and their cultivation was also destroyed…”

Tang Bilian’s understanding of this world far surpasses that of Yao Tai and others.

She mentioned more than ten challenges in succession.

These challenges

all occurred within the last hundred years.

After listening, Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

“More than ten challenges have occurred in just one hundred years, it seems that the Fire Cloud God Lord is not popular.”

“Yes, I once heard a rumor.”

“What rumor?”

“It is said… there are more than three realms in the path of cultivation!”

Tang Bilian lowered her voice, her expression became very vigilant, and she even subconsciously glanced left and right.

This news is forbidden to spread in this world.

She told Li Chang’an.

“Rumor has it that there is a fourth realm, but the method to break through that realm is in the hands of the Fire Cloud God Lord. The reason why many God Emperors challenge him is to reach a higher realm.”

“Yes, there are indeed more than three realms.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly.

“What?”

Tang Bilian’s eyes widened instantly, even forgetting her fear, and she asked excitedly.

“Fellow Daoist Li, do you know anything about this?” “Fellow Daoist Tang

, I need more Fire Cloud Crystals.”

Li Chang’an’s tone was calm, his eyes deep, as if he could see into her soul.

Tang Bilian trembled, immediately realizing that her life was still in Li Chang’an’s hands.

“Fellow Daoist Li, as long as you let me go, I will definitely find more Fire Cloud Crystals for you.”

“Alright.”

Li Chang’an flicked his finger, sending out a wood seed.

In the blink of an eye,

Tang Bilian became a wood seed puppet.

But Li Chang’an did not control her, only letting her act freely.

Then, he used fire magic to burn away the traces left by the three Black Tigers.

Thus,

the Yao family’s crisis was resolved.

Many members of the Yao family could not believe it, staring blankly at Li Chang’an.

Just a moment ago, they had all despaired, thinking that all their clansmen would become mine slaves.

But Li Chang’an casually waved his hand and killed the invincible beings in their eyes, saving them from the danger of extermination.

“Thank you so much, Senior Li, for saving my Yao family!”

Yao Tai cried out, kneeling on the ground.

The rest of the clansmen also knelt down, their cries echoing throughout the land.

Li Chang’an ignored them, disappearing in an instant and returning to the mine.

Seeing this, Yao Tai and the others couldn’t help but feel remorse.

Now that things had come to this, how could they not understand that they had been judging a gentleman by their own petty standards?

If they had given the Fire Cloud Crystal to Li Chang’an instead of asking Tang Bilian, they might have gained Li Chang’an’s favor.

Yao Yun bit her red lips and pulled her younger brother, Yao Feng, saying,

“Feng, could you go and find Senior Li again and ask him to stay in our Yao family? The Yao family is willing to pay any price for this.”

“Sister, Li Chang’an just transmitted a message to me, saying that no one should disturb him.”

“This…”

Yao Yun looked in the direction of the mine, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

In the following days,

Li Chang’an remained in the mine, discovering more than twenty Fire Cloud Crystals.

However, he still hadn’t obtained any larger crystals.

“This mine isn’t worth wasting any more time on.”

He shook his head slightly, intending to leave.

That evening,

Tang Bilian arrived at the mine.

“Fellow Daoist Li, after these past few days of investigation, I discovered an underground trading place in the central divine city of the Tianlan Divine Domain, where Fire Cloud Crystals are sold.”

“Good, I understand.”

A wisp of Li Chang’an’s divine sense was within the wood seed, knowing everything she had experienced these past few days.

He put Tang Bilian into his spirit beast pouch, then left the abandoned mine, heading towards the very center of the Tianlan Divine Domain.

…

Meanwhile,

outside the secret realm, on Changqing Mountain,

the aura of a Nascent Soul True Monarch suddenly descended.

The newcomer smiled, showing no hostility or malice, and landed on Changqing Mountain.

Beside him was Wang Qianling, the Holy Queen of the Wang family.

His identity was naturally easy to guess.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Wang family!

Li Chang’an immediately used his Blood Avatar to greet him.

“Greetings, Senior Wang.”

“Haha, young friend Li is indeed a handsome man!”

The Wang family patriarch sized him up, his face full of satisfaction.

“Qianling is too inexperienced and was deceived by that old devil. Fortunately, she received help from young friend Li. I have come here to express my gratitude.”

As he spoke

, a beam of light flew from his storage bag towards Li Chang’an.

“Young friend Li, as I know you, I am sure you will like this gift.”
