Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Fist Subdues White Tiger, Jade Beauty Forms Core (Seeking Subscriptions)

and Secret Realms.

Ancient ruins are everywhere.

Li Chang’an chose a secluded spot.

“I’ll use this place to set up a trap.”

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and a stone tablet appeared.

On the stone tablet,

more than ten ancient characters were engraved.

It was the opening of the Heavenly Grade Divine Sense Secret Technique, “Mysterious God Slaying Heaven Technique.”

“Using this stone tablet as bait should be able to lure Cui Baihong out.”

Li Chang’an placed the stone tablet in the ruins, only revealing the upper half.

He had found this stone tablet in a gambling stone shop. Originally, it had no words, but it was full of the ancient and vicissitudes of time.

This aura was what Li Chang’an valued.

After placing the stone tablet,

he began to set up a series of arrays.

Cui Baihong’s strength should be about the same as Gu Yunqi’s.

Therefore, Li Chang’an’s setup this time was similar to the one he used to deal with Gu Yunqi.

After completing the setup,

he concealed all the arrays and the aura of the treasures.

Afterwards, he left this place and headed to another set of ruins some distance away.

In that set of ruins, several Golden Core cultivators were exploring the opportunities within.

One of them was rather pale, seemingly recovering from a serious illness, and his aura was weaker than the others.

“This person is the sorcerer who attacked me,”

Li Chang’an observed discreetly from the shadows.

In the past few days,

he had thoroughly investigated Cui Baihong and his retainers.

The person who had secretly attacked him with a curse technique was named “Meng Chong,” a third-tier high-grade sorcerer.

After that failed curse attack,

Meng Chong suffered a severe backlash, his lifespan shortened, and he was seriously injured, still not fully recovered.

However, envious of everyone’s gains in the secret realm, he disregarded his weakened state and returned to the secret realm in recent days to search for treasure with everyone. His

other retainers had been very kind to him.

“Fellow Daoist Meng, if you are feeling unwell, please return to the Holy Son’s flying boat to rest. After we have investigated the dangers here, we will call you to join us in the treasure hunt.”

“There’s no need to worry, everyone. I’ve almost recovered.”

Meng Chong forced a smile on his pale face, trying his best to appear normal.

But the weakness was impossible to hide.

One of them sighed, “Alas, if it weren’t for Li Chang’an, Fellow Daoist Meng wouldn’t be so badly injured.”

“Li Chang’an…”

Mentioning this name, a trace of hatred flashed in Meng Chong’s eyes.

His pain and struggle over the years

were all because of Li Chang’an!

“Once I’ve fully recovered, I will use every means to kill Li Chang’an!”

“Oh, what means do you intend to use?”

Li Chang’an suddenly appeared, his expression calm, looking at Meng Chong and asking.

“Li Chang’an?!”

Meng Chong’s expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly.

He was just saying it; he never expected to see Li Chang’an here.

He felt not only hatred but also fear towards Li Chang’an.

The other Golden Core guests looked much better.

“Li Chang’an, how dare you come here alone!”

“If you had stayed in that tortoise shell of Changqing Mountain, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you.”

“But there are no formations here, and no Zi Xi to protect you. Your mere early-stage Golden Core cultivation is a joke in our eyes!”

These people all had mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

Moreover, as Golden Core True Persons from a Nascent Soul sect, their strength was greater than that of Golden Core cultivators of the same level.

Their auras merged, subtly sealing off the surroundings.

Hearing their words,

Meng Chong also reacted.

He looked around, spreading his divine sense, but did not detect the auras of Zi Xi or the other cultivators of the Zixia Sect, and his heart immediately calmed down a lot.

“Li Chang’an, you actually showed yourself alone, you’re really courting death!”

He shouted fiercely, his Golden Core power erupting, his aura rising steadily.

“Today, I will kill you to avenge the grudge of that year!”

Meng Chong’s figure flickered, and he arrived beside the other Golden Core guest elders, his aura connecting with theirs.

Six of them, all at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, were against Li Chang’an, a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Six against one.

The advantage was astonishing .

Meng Chong shouted, “Gentlemen, when dealing with a despicable villain like Li Chang’an, there’s no need to concern ourselves with morality. Let’s kill him too!”

“Good, that’s exactly what we intend!”

The six attacked simultaneously, their aura earth-shattering.

The next moment.

Li Chang’an’s figure swayed for a moment, but remained in the same spot, as if he had never left.

However, Meng Chong and the other six coughed up blood, their faces filled with horror, and flew backward, crashing heavily into the ruins of the ancient sect behind them.

In the blink of an eye, all six were severely injured!

“Peak third-tier body refinement?”

Meng Chong’s face was deathly pale, his body covered in blood, as he collapsed in the ruins.

Just a moment ago.

Li Chang’an seemed not to have moved, but in an instant, he unleashed six punches.

These simple six punches shattered all the six’s spells and their confidence, leaving them only with fear and despair.

Facing Li Chang’an, they didn’t even have the slightest strength to resist!

“Li Chang’an, you’re just a rogue cultivator, how can you be so strong?”

Meng Chong’s voice was hoarse, his Dao heart nearly collapsing.

Only now

did he finally understand why Li Chang’an could remain unscathed amidst the attacks of so many Saint-level cultivators.

He relied not only on Zi Xi’s protection but also on his own formidable strength.

Before this strength, any trickery was a joke.

A flash of green light appeared in Li Chang’an’s hand, unleashing six beams of green light.

“Wood Seed, Condense!”

Too lazy to explain Meng Chong’s confusion, he instantly refined Meng Chong and the other six into wooden seed puppets.

Next ,

he opened their storage bags and examined them.

As Golden Core cultivators from major sects who frequented ruins, their storage bags contained a considerable amount of treasure, far exceeding the wealth of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Li Chang’an quickly found the curse inheritance among them.

“A high-grade third-tier curse inheritance.”

With a thought, he took out the inheritance jade slip and glanced at its contents.

After only a few glances,

Li Chang’an lost interest.

As rumored, this curse, while powerful, would diminish one’s luck and fortune.

Using curses too often would inevitably bring bad luck, even a casual stroll could lead to a fatal encounter.

He didn’t intend to learn the curse.

However,

the content regarding undoing curses was worth noting.

“One should always be wary of others!”

Li Chang’an made up his mind and put away the jade slip.

He also put the remaining treasures into his storage bag, and then simply cleaned up the traces of the battle.

After doing all this, he did not go directly to the flying boat where Cui Baihong was, but waited for the divination to appear.

At midnight that night,

a golden light appeared before his eyes.

[Divination updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You used the puppet to lure Cui Baihong into the trap, defeated him, and found fourth-tier Crimson Fire Sparrow essence blood in his storage bag. No accidents occurred during the process.]

“Auspicious divination!”

Li Chang’an was relieved.

He immediately controlled Meng Chong to go to the flying boat where Cui Baihong was.

What happened afterward went quite smoothly.

After seeing the small half of the stone tablet in the recording stone, Cui Baihong immediately asked Li Chang’an to take him to the ruins.

The two of them, one after the other, arrived at the ruins under the cover of night.

“It really is a near-fourth-tier formation.”

Cui Baihong did not suspect anything.

He took out a fourth-tier talisman and used force to break the formation, shattering it.

Once the formation dissipated

, he moved swiftly, appearing before the stone tablet in an instant.

“A Heavenly-grade Divine Sense Secret Technique.”

Cui Baihong’s eyes lit up, and he was about to take out the stone tablet.

But at that moment,

the surrounding world suddenly changed.

Quasi-fourth-tier formations rose up, nested within formations, interlocking, instantly turning this place into a dead end!

Cui Baihong immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

“Meng Chong, you dare harm me?”

he roared, probing his storage bag with his divine sense, intending to retrieve the spiritual contract he had signed with Meng Chong and use it to threaten him.

But the next instant, he discovered that the storage bag had vanished!

Next, Cui Baihong used various methods, but still couldn’t break free from the formation.   Faced with the continuous bombardment of formations, he had no choice but to use the White Tiger Vajra Body.   But this time, the White Tiger Vajra Body was also useless.   Less than a quarter of an hour

had passed .   The White Tiger Vajra Body was shattered.   His expression was deathly pale, his mana exhausted, his body covered in blood, and he was forced to his knees by the pressure of the formation.   ”Cui Baihong, your White Tiger Vajra Body seems even weaker than Gu Yunqi’s Undying Yellow Sand Body.”   Li Chang’an slowly appeared, standing not far away.   Upon seeing his face,   Cui Baihong’s pupils dilated violently, and he shouted in disbelief, “Li Chang’an, how could it be you?”   ”Who did Fellow Daoist Cui think he was?”

“How could you possibly have so many treasures to set up an array? It must be Zi Xi! Zi Xi, come out here!”

Cui Baihong looked around, his mouth full of blood, and shouted hoarsely.

He refused to accept that he would be defeated by Li Chang’an.

If he were defeated by a prodigy like Zi Xi, he would naturally feel better.

Li Chang’an said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Cui, stop shouting. Fellow Daoist Zi Xi is not here. She is inside the Zixia Sect, conducting trials on several newly promoted Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. I am the only one here.” “

I don’t believe it!”

Cui Baihong still refused to believe it.

How could Li Chang’an defeat him alone?

From beginning to end,

he had always thought that Li Chang’an was just a coward living under the protection of outsiders.

“Li Chang’an, you alone can’t defeat me!”

Cui Baihong suddenly roared, and his already weakened aura instantly surged.

His pupils suddenly turned golden, carrying an indescribable majesty, like a tiger awakening.

The golden light instantly spread throughout his body, giving him a golden glow.

“Roar—!”

A deafening tiger’s roar resounded.

Cui Baihong suddenly sprang to his feet, his fighting spirit surging, his black hair dancing wildly. A golden tiger phantom appeared behind him, instantly appearing before Li Chang’an and unleashing a punch.

This was the secret of the White Tiger Spirit Body.

Even in dire straits, at the end of its rope, it could still deliver a final blow if it didn’t completely give up hope. The White Tiger

Sacrifice Fist!

Cui Baihong was absolutely confident that this punch would shatter Li Chang’an on the spot!

Li Chang’an’s eyes narrowed, neither dodging nor avoiding, his blood boiling, and he also unleashed a punch.

“Boom!”

The two fists collided like meteors from outer space, the sound shaking heaven and earth, echoing through the clouds.

A violent power erupted instantly, sweeping in all directions.

Within the formation, dust billowed.

The ruins surrounding them and beneath their feet were instantly reduced to dust by this terrifying power.

A long time later,

the smoke and dust dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

Li Chang’an remained standing, motionless, only his sleeve was torn.

Cui Baihong slowly knelt on the ground.

His expression was ashen, the golden light in his eyes gradually fading, and his right arm, bleeding profusely, hung limply at his side.

“I didn’t expect you to be so versatile, and your physique so powerful.”

Cui Baihong lowered his head, his previous arrogance and defiance gone.

The White Tiger Spirit Body granted him a physique unimaginably powerful for ordinary cultivators.

Yet, his prized physique, coupled with the White Tiger Sacrifice Fist unleashed in a desperate situation, couldn’t withstand a casual punch from Li Chang’an.

He had lost even what he excelled at; what was there left to be proud of?

Therefore,

Cui Baihong accepted his defeat.

“To surpass a spirit with a mortal body… Li Chang’an, you are the true prodigy.”

Li Chang’an said nothing, but unleashed a beam of green light, turning Cui Baihong into a puppet.

That punch earlier

wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

Even now, his arm was still slightly numb, and his blood and qi were still difficult to calm.

He swallowed a few pills to restore his blood and qi, then put away all his arrangements, erased all traces and auras, and returned to Changqing Mountain with Cui Baihong.

…

Changqing Mountain, deep within the cave.

Li Chang’an used the Divine Transformation Technique, splitting hundreds of strands of divine sense to probe Cui Baihong’s spiritual symbol.

As expected,

Cui Baihong’s symbol was also in his sea of consciousness.

In this way, Ye Mengxian became particularly special.

Li Chang’an used his divine sense cage as usual to contact Cui Baihong’s spiritual symbol.

“Buzz—”

The platinum spiritual symbol trembled, instantly breaking through the cage and escaping to another location.

In that instant of contact, Li Chang’an gained considerable insight into the power of metal.

As a cultivator with a wood-elemental root, these insights were of little help to him.   He tried several more times, but could no longer get close to the symbol.

”   Sure enough, this symbol can’t be captured either.”   Li Chang’an gave up, withdrew his divine sense, and opened Cui Baihong’s storage bag to search.   Soon, he found his purpose.   A flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing a fist-sized amount of concentrated essence blood.   This essence blood was crimson, like a blazing flame, and its appearance immediately added a sense of intense heat to the entire cave.   ”Fourth-tier Crimson Firebird essence blood!”   Li Chang’an smiled, his mood greatly improved.   At this point,   he had obtained three of the treasures on the list provided by the Vermilion Bird Sect.   Originally, the Vermilion Bird Sect had demanded that he hand over all the treasures on the list, a total of over sixty.   However, the Vermilion Bird True Monarch spoke on his behalf, reducing the number to ten percent, and the Vermilion Bird True Monarch was willing to give him half.   Therefore,   these three were sufficient!   ”With all three treasures complete, the Vermilion Bird Sect should have no reason to prevent me from entering the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm,”   Li Chang’an pondered.   If those Golden Core elders of the Vermilion Bird Sect still dared to make things difficult for him,   then he would switch to a lower-grade Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, first cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage, and then confront the Vermilion Bird Sect demanding an explanation!   He put away the Crimson Fire Sparrow’s essence blood and didn’t go directly to Mu Hongyu, but instead interrogated Cui Baihong.   In the following days,   he squeezed   Cui Baihong to the limit, making him write down all the cultivation techniques, spells, and ancient texts he knew.   During this time,   Li Chang’an was constantly gathering information about Mu Chen, plotting to make him take the blame.   ”As the Holy Son of the Vermilion Bird Sect, Mu Chen’s stance is inherently hostile to Cui Baihong, so creating conflict wouldn’t be difficult.”

Li Chang’an pondered silently, a plan gradually forming in his mind.

Just then,

a streak of light suddenly pierced the sky and landed on Changqing Mountain.

The newcomer wore a pale yellow dress, with delicate features and bright, lively eyes—it was Su Yuyan!

“Yuyan,”

Li Chang’an greeted her with a smile, stepping out of his cave to welcome her.

After a brief conversation,

Su Yuyan explained the purpose of her visit.

She had achieved Foundation Establishment earlier than Li Chang’an and possessed a wealth of resources left by Chen Huilan, yet after so many years, she still hadn’t formed her Core, her cultivation remaining at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Now, she had already switched to the Heavenly Grade cultivation technique Li Chang’an had given her, accumulating considerable power.

After discussion, Gu Qinghong and the others had given her the treatment of a top-tier Golden Core seed, preparing resources such as the Five Elements Golden Core and Core Formation materials for her.

“Brother Li, I will form my Core in seven days. Would you like to come and watch?”

“Of course I will,”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile.

Immediately afterwards,

he took out a large amount of Core Formation insights.

Not only did he have his own summaries, but Gu Yunqi, Cui Baihong, and others also wrote down the insights of Nascent Soul Grandmasters on Core Formation, which Su Yuyan carefully studied.

…

Seven days later.

Li Chang’an, along with Xu Changqing, Luo Yunshu, and others, arrived at the Qingyun Sect to observe Su Yuyan’s Core Formation .

Now,

Luo Yunshu had also reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.

She did not immediately form her Core, intending to consolidate her strength for a few more days.

Xu Changqing’s progress was slower, his cultivation remaining at the late Foundation Establishment stage, but his foundation was quite solid, and his path of cultivation was very steady, much like Li Chang’an’s style.

At noon that day,

a celestial phenomenon appeared.

A massive vortex of spiritual energy formed above the Qingyun Sect, gathering spiritual energy from all directions and pouring it into the secluded cultivation area deep within the Qingyun Sect.

“Yuyan should be fine.”

Li Chang’an’s expression was calm, not too worried.

Su Yuyan not only had the Core Formation resources provided by the Qingyun Sect, but also the Core Formation treasures he had given her.

Although she only possessed a mid-grade spiritual root, crossing the Core Formation stage wouldn’t be difficult for her, as long as she did

n’t accidentally form a false core. Sure enough,

just five days later, Su Yuyan successfully formed her Core.

It wasn’t a false core, but a superior true core!

Thus,

the immortal-seeking team from back then gained another Golden Core cultivator.

Li Chang’an, Ye Hao, and Su Yuyan were all now Golden Core cultivators.

As for Xu Fugui, Chu Daniu, and Mu Qiuyan, their cultivation levels weren’t high, and they weren’t as diligent in their cultivation as they were in their youth; they probably had no hope of reaching the Golden Core realm in this lifetime.

“Those three old friends are gradually falling behind,”

Li Chang’an thought with a sigh.

As time passed, fewer and fewer of his old friends would remain.

After congratulating Su Yuyan on her successful Core Formation,

he returned to Changqing Mountain to continue plotting Cui Baihong’s death.

…

Half a month later.

Deep within the ancient ruins.

Mu Chen, along with several Vermilion Bird Sect holy sons and numerous retainers, were working to overcome an ancient formation.

After expending a great deal of treasure, they finally opened the formation.

In an instant,

a scorching aura swept over them.

Within the formation was a spiritual herb garden, filled with numerous third-tier and near-fourth-tier spiritual herbs, many of which were beneficial to the Vermilion Bird Sect’s cultivation techniques.

“Haha, it wasn’t for nothing that I spent so much time!”

Mu Chen smiled, in high spirits.

But just then,

a beam of light suddenly appeared, instantly sweeping away all the spiritual herbs in the garden!

Cui Baihong appeared, also beaming.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mu, for breaking the formation for me!”
