Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Bloodline Enhancement, Advancement to True Infant (Seeking Subscriptions)

Heart-Crossing Pill.

An ancient, unique pill of the Pill Cauldron Sect.

The formula for this pill has long been lost, and finished products are almost impossible to find.

It is the most powerful pill for overcoming the Heart-Crossing Tribulation; if taken before the tribulation, it can greatly increase the success rate.

“This pill seems genuine.”

Zi Xi took out a Pill Cauldron Sect classic text and carefully examined the description of the Heart-Crossing Pill.

Both its aura and appearance matched the description in the book.

Any other Golden Core cultivator would be overjoyed to obtain such a rare and precious pill, using it as a trump card for their tribulation.

But Zi Xi remained calm.

“Fellow Daoist Li said that the entire Li family, from top to bottom, has problems; this pill cannot be taken.”

Compared to Li Xiao, she trusted Li Chang’an more.

She summoned a servant, ordered him to take the pill, and quietly observed his reaction.

After a long time,

the servant showed no unusual reaction.

Zi Xi asked her, “Do you feel any discomfort?”

The servant shook her head, indicating that she felt nothing unusual.

Zi Xi then used her magic to examine the servant’s flesh and meridians, finding nothing abnormal.

This matched the description in the ancient texts.

The Heart-Crossing Pill was only effective against inner demon tribulations; it had no effect at other times.

“Could I be overthinking it?”

Zi Xi withdrew her magic, a sense of doubt creeping in.

She instructed the servant, “Go back and rest. If you feel anything unusual, inform me immediately.”

“Yes!”

The servant acknowledged the order and slowly withdrew.

…

Meanwhile.

Within the ruins of the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm.

More than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs had arrived, many of them having arrived later.

Few had witnessed the battle between Li Chang’an and Cui Ling. Besides Qinglong, Zhuque, and others who had pursued Demon Mountain, only Qi Jiuyang, Huang Sha, and other Nascent Soul True Monarchs who had arrived from the entrance of the secret realm in time.

At this moment,

they were recounting the battle to the others.

Hearing that Cui Ling had suffered an even more crushing defeat this time, only managing to withstand a dozen or so moves, everyone was secretly astonished.

Surprised,

they all tried to persuade Li Chang’an to release Cui Ling as soon as possible.

But Li Chang’an ignored their pleas, offering only a few perfunctory replies before continuing his treasure hunt within the ruins.

The ruins contained many treasures, but most were low-grade.

He swept past the auras of numerous low-grade treasures, heading straight for a cave deep within the ruins.

“Within this cave, there seems to be a treasure that resonates with me,”

Li Chang’an thought, slowly landing before the cave.

He used his puppet to open the cave door and entered to investigate.

Before him was only an ordinary jade slip.

This jade slip had been carelessly discarded in the cave.

Besides that,

there were no other treasures.

Li Chang’an picked up the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense, immediately seeing four large characters:

【Divine Talisman Treasure Record】

“Divine Talisman? Could it be something from the ancient Divine Talisman Sect?”

Li Chang’an continued reading.

The subsequent contents of the jade slip confirmed his guess.

This Divine Talisman Treasure Record was indeed a treasure of the “Divine Talisman Sect,” one of the nine ancient sects.

This sect is renowned for its talismans, with most of its disciples practicing this art, and it has produced many fifth-tier talisman masters.

The first half of this treasure record

contains numerous insights from high-level talisman masters.

Li Chang’an only glanced at it a few times, yet countless understandings arose in his mind, as if many high-level talisman masters were conversing with him.

In just a few breaths, he was about to enter a profound state of enlightenment.

“No, this place is not suitable for enlightenment!”

Li Chang’an immediately interrupted his enlightenment, forcibly ending this state.

There were still more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs outside.

Although they were all righteous Nascent Soul cultivators, he still couldn’t be trusted.

Once he entered a state of enlightenment, he would lose all perception of the outside world; who knew what might happen?

Perhaps someone would take advantage of his enlightenment to secretly attack him.

“I’ll slowly gain enlightenment after returning to Changqing Mountain,”

Li Chang’an was confident.

After returning, as long as he carefully perused the first half of this divine talisman treasure record, he would soon enter a state of enlightenment.

The latter half of this treasure record contained the methods for drawing many special fourth-tier talismans.

Li Chang’an focused on reading it and quickly found two talismans suitable for him:

“Green Bamboo Sword Talisman and Yuan Gold Sword Talisman.”

These two talismans, one of the wood element and the other of the metal element, were perfect for the Yin-Yang Sword Formation, and were not found in the fourth-tier talisman inheritance Li Chang’an had previously obtained.

They were extremely powerful, of excellent quality, surpassing ordinary low-grade fourth-tier talismans.

Any sword energy from them could pose a threat to a veteran early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

“My talisman skills are not yet sufficient to draw excellent talismans.”

“However, if I could have more moments of enlightenment, my skills should improve considerably,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

A moment later,

he put away the jade slip, left the cave, and went elsewhere to find several high-level treasures.

Due to the large number of Nascent Soul cultivators present, the treasures in this ruin were quickly depleted.

“How was Fellow Daoist Zhuque’s harvest?”

“I obtained a dozen or so fourth-tier pills, better than nothing.”

“How about Fellow Daoist Qinglong?”

“I obtained a few spiritual herbs…”

Everyone’s expression was calm, seemingly having not found any particularly valuable treasures.

To them,

ordinary fourth-tier pills and spiritual herbs were no longer considered very precious.

Throughout the entire Myriad Valleys Secret Realm, the only thing that truly captivated them was the Golden Divine Tree.

“Alas, I wonder where that Golden Divine Tree has gone.”

“Perhaps it’s been taken away.”

“We were all too late; maybe other Nascent Soul True Monarchs were present that day.”

Mentioning the Golden Divine Tree, everyone’s words carried a hint of regret.

Just then,

an aura of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly approached rapidly.

Sensing this aura, everyone looked towards the horizon.

“It’s Fellow Daoist Jade Tiger’s aura.”

“Didn’t he say he wasn’t planning to come? Why did he rush back from the Northern Region? Could it be because of Cui Ling?”

Thinking of this, many people looked at Li Chang’an with strange eyes.

True Monarch Jade Tiger was the strongest expert of the White Tiger Sect, and also the master of both True Monarch Jade Tiger and Cui Ling!

They had all originally thought that

at most True Monarch Jade Tiger would intervene.

They never expected that this senior, True Monarch Jade Tiger, would actually come personally.

Before long, a Nascent Soul cultivator with a handsome face, wearing a square scarf and a white robe, arrived at the ruins.

It was none other than True Monarch Jade Tiger!

“Fellow Daoist Jade Tiger, what brings you here?”

True Monarch Mingxia asked with a smile.

As she spoke, she slowly moved to Li Chang’an’s side to prevent Jade Tiger from suddenly attacking.

As a veteran mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, True Monarch Jade Tiger possessed profound knowledge and astonishing strength, far surpassing that of a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator like Cui Ling.

He glanced calmly at Li Chang’an and then said, “Fellow Daoist Mingxia, there’s no need to worry. I will not attack Fellow Daoist Lin. Today’s events are all my disciple’s fault.”

As he spoke, a stream of light flew out of his storage bag, arriving in front of Li Chang’an and transforming into a deep blue bowl-shaped treasure.

Li Chang’an immediately recognized it.

“The Thunder-Swallowing Bowl?”

“That’s right, it is indeed the Thunder-Swallowing Bowl.”

True Monarch Jade Tiger’s tone was calm.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you demanded that my White Tiger Sect exchange a Tribulation-Crossing treasure for my disciple. Is this enough?”

“Enough.”

Li Chang’an immediately took Cui Ling from his spirit beast pouch and returned it to True Monarch Jade Tiger. The Thunder

-Swallowing Bowl was indeed a Tribulation-Crossing treasure, but its quality was not high, even inferior to the Thunder-Transforming Pearl.

It could only withstand a small bolt of heavenly lightning.

However,

it was still a Tribulation-Crossing treasure.

Li Chang’an didn’t mind; having it was good enough!

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jade Tiger.”

He bowed and accepted it.

Seeing this,

Cui Ling’s eyes were filled with anger and humiliation.

“Master, let me fight Lin Fan again. This time, I will definitely not lose!”

“Go back and cultivate diligently. You are no match for Fellow Daoist Lin.”

True Monarch Jade Tiger spoke very directly.

Hearing this, Cui Ling opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to argue, but ultimately said nothing, slowly lowering his head and falling silent.

He himself knew that

even if they fought again, the outcome would be no different.

Jade Tiger True Lord continued, “Fellow Daoist Lin, I heard you suspect my disciple has betrayed the Demonic Path. You can rest assured, both he and White Tiger’s families were killed by Demonic cultivators, making them sworn enemies.”

He briefly recounted Cui Ling and White Tiger True Lord’s past.

White Tiger True Lord’s shamelessness stemmed largely from his childhood experiences.

As a child, he wandered the mortal realm, spending many years as a beggar, constantly hungry and terrified of poverty, unwilling to let go of even the smallest gain.

Even after becoming a cultivator, his personality didn’t improve much.

After hearing his story,

many present showed expressions of sudden realization.

They were previously unaware of White Tiger True Lord’s true past.

Then…

Jade Tiger True Lord made Cui Ling swear an oath.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cui Ling swore an oath of Dao heart, guaranteeing he would not collude with the demonic path.

The matter was considered closed.

“Let’s go, come back with me.”

Jade Tiger True Lord said no more, taking Cui Ling with him, and vanished into the horizon in an instant.

The others congratulated Li Chang’an.

They hadn’t expected that Li Chang’an could actually exchange Cui Ling for a tribulation-crossing treasure.

Actually,

Li Chang’an himself hadn’t expected it either.

“This Jade Tiger True Lord is quite easy to talk to, worthy of a scholar.”

Jade Tiger True Lord was once a top scholar in a mortal kingdom, later unexpectedly awakening his Heavenly Spiritual Root and embarking on the path of cultivation.

Because of this, he always maintained the appearance of a mortal scholar.

“It’s a pity it’s a lightning tribulation treasure, not a heart demon tribulation treasure.”

Li Chang’an wanted a heart demon tribulation treasure more, but he had no choice.

…

Several hours later.

Everyone arrived at the Purple Cloud Sect.

They stood on either side of the main hall, interrogating Demon Mountain True Lord.

However, no matter what methods they used, Demon Mountain True Monarch refused to reveal a single piece of information.

“This Demon Mountain is quite stubborn,”

Li Chang’an thought, standing in a corner, uninterested in getting involved.

A short while later

, he casually made an excuse to leave the Purple Cloud Sect. After confirming no one was following him, he went to the Profound Martial Sect.

Deep within the Profound Martial Sect, the old tortoise was explaining the essentials of overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation to the Profound Water Tortoise.

Li Chang’an found them and handed the Myriad Demon Bloodstone to the Profound Water Tortoise.

“Little Black, refine this Myriad Demon Bloodstone and see if you can elevate your bloodline to the Heavenly Grade.”

“Thank you, Master!”

The Profound Water Tortoise was overjoyed.

The old tortoise was somewhat surprised, taking the Myriad Demon Bloodstone and examining it.

“It really is a Myriad Demon Bloodstone, and of quite high quality.”

He returned it to the Profound Water Tortoise, giving Li Chang’an a strange look.

This quality of Myriad Demon Bloodstone was already rare in the current cultivation world, yet Li Chang’an had managed to obtain one so quickly.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, I, the old tortoise, truly admire your incredible luck.”

Besides luck, the old tortoise couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Li Chang’an’s luck was simply astonishing; he was practically the darling of the entire world, getting whatever he lacked.

Li Chang’an merely smiled and offered no further explanation.

Soon ,

the Xuan Shui Turtle began refining the Myriad Demon Blood Stone.

A dense crimson light rose from his body, like a raging crimson flame.

Within the crimson light, thousands upon thousands of demonic beasts could be vaguely seen struggling and howling, their voices filled with pain and resentment.

As time passed, those resentful roars grew increasingly frenzied.

Suddenly,

a demonic soul broke free from the crimson light, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and lunged at the Xuan Shui Turtle.

“Suppress!”

Li Chang’an’s expression was stern. He used the Beast Taming Wheel to obliterate the demonic soul on the spot.

For a period afterward, more and more demonic souls broke free, almost every moment a demonic soul attacked the Xuan Shui Turtle, but none could overcome the obstruction of the Beast Taming Wheel.

Gradually…

The roars subsided.

The crimson light surrounding the Xuan Shui Turtle slowly faded.

Soon, everything returned to calm.

The Xuan Shui Turtle opened its eyes, its gaze filled with joy.

“Master, my bloodline has reached the Heavenly Grade!”

“Not bad!”

Li Chang’an smiled.

With this, the last obstacle before the Xuan Shui Turtle’s advancement was overcome. A

Heavenly Grade bloodline, coupled with numerous treasures, ensured a very high success rate.

The old turtle also smiled broadly, instructing, “The power of the Myriad Demon Bloodstone is immense. You’ve only absorbed a portion; a considerable amount remains deposited throughout your body. Absorb it diligently these days, don’t rush to break through.”

“Yes!” The

Xuan Shui Turtle wasn’t in a hurry.

Having followed Li Chang’an for many years, its personality had become similar to his, making it very composed.

Li Chang’an thoroughly examined its entire body, confirming there were no problems, and then completely relaxed.

After a while,

he left the Xuanwu Sect and returned to Changqing Mountain.

…

For some time afterward,

Li Chang’an remained in seclusion deep within his cave, digesting the various insights from the Divine Talisman Treasure Record.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period,

he experienced several sudden enlightenments, and his talisman-making skills improved rapidly, allowing him to successfully draw exquisite talismans.

That evening, Li Chang’an ended his seclusion.

He left his cave and went to the courtyard, replacing the original ordinary talismans with the Green Bamboo Sword Talisman and the Yuan Gold Sword Talisman to form a new sword formation.

After some testing,

Li Chang’an judged that the killing power of this new sword formation was significantly stronger than the old one, no longer barely reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and in no way weaker than an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

“Not bad. Relying on this sword formation, even facing True Monarch Jade Tiger, I can put up a fight.”

With a thought, he dispelled the sword formation, intending to try his talisman formation technique again.

Just then,

he suddenly paused, feeling his strength slowly breaking through a bottleneck.

“Finally, I’m about to break through.”

Li Chang’an was overjoyed and immediately returned to his cave to seclude himself again.

Over the years,

as the number of mortals increased, the Fire Cloud Secret Realm provided him with more and more faith.

The quality of his nascent soul also continuously improved, and he had long since touched the threshold of the True Nascent Soul realm.

Now, the quantitative change has finally led to a qualitative change, helping him successfully cross this threshold, and his aura instantly surged.

“Early Nascent Soul stage!”

Li Chang’an smiled, feeling his own strength.

His current strength far surpasses that of when he first became a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even without using talismans, he can easily crush many Nascent Soul True Monarchs with his own power alone.

“As long as I firmly hold the Fire Cloud Secret Realm in my hands, my strength can continue to increase.”

Li Chang’an could sense

that new faith power was appearing every moment.

The quality of his Nascent Soul and the cultivation brought by the faith power were improving simultaneously.

“The Nascent Soul is not the end. As long as there are enough people who believe in me, I can use this to achieve the Divine Transformation realm or even higher.”

Thinking of this,

Li Chang’an bought a large batch of mortal necessities and sent them into the Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

In addition, he specially rewarded several God Realm Lords who provided a lot of faith power, bestowing them with a large number of treasures to incentivize the other God Emperors.

“I have always been fair in rewards and punishments.”

Li Chang’an said solemnly to the many God Emperors.

“As long as you can bring me enough faith power, I can provide you with all the cultivation resources, including Nascent Soul treasures!”

As he spoke, a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, and a Heavenly Infant Fruit appeared.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Infant Fruit,

the eyes of numerous God Emperors instantly turned red.

They were all unable to remain calm, their eyes filled with longing and a deeply suppressed greed.

If Li Chang’an hadn’t been so powerful, they would likely have already swarmed forward to seize it.

Seeing this,

Li Chang’an nodded in satisfaction.

He put away the Heavenly Infant Fruit, made a few more promises, and then left the Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

A few days later,

Li Chang’an received a message from the Purple Cloud Sect.

“Zi Xi will form her Nascent Soul in ten days. I can bring my juniors to observe.”

Looking at the message in his hand, he initially intended to contact Zi Xi to inquire about her progress, but then refrained.

With only ten days left, he couldn’t disturb her at this time.

“Sending a message ten days in advance must have taken into account travel time.” For

an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, traveling from Changqing Mountain to the Purple Cloud Sect takes at least seven or eight days, and sometimes more than half a month.

But for Li Chang’an, it would only take a few hours.

Of course,

he still had to feign it.

He first went to the Xuanwu Sect to retrieve the Xuan Shui Turtle, then summoned Song Yu’er, Xu Changqing, Luo Yunshu, and other juniors, and they boarded a quasi-fourth-tier flying boat to head to the Zixia Sect.

…

Meanwhile.

Deep within the Zixia Sect.

Zi Xi was in the courtyard, her expression grave, examining her servant’s condition.

After consuming the Heart-Crossing Pill, the servant initially showed no abnormalities, but later problems gradually arose.

She was frequently plagued by nightmares, even becoming deeply trapped in them and unable to wake up, her whole being growing increasingly haggard, her eyes becoming somewhat vacant.

“That Heart-Crossing Pill is indeed problematic!”

Zi Xi was almost certain that the source of all these changes was that Heart-Crossing Pill.

Before consuming the Heart-Crossing Pill, this servant had never exhibited such symptoms.

“Perhaps it cannot alleviate the inner demon tribulation, but instead will aggravate it.”

Thinking of this,

Zi Xi immediately put away the servant, intending to take her to find True Monarch Zixia.

But then she thought again, since Zixia Zhenjun came from the Li family, she might be blinded by kinship and unable to see the truth of the matter.

She immediately changed direction and went to Mingxia Zhenjun’s dojo to explain the matter to her.

After listening to her,

Mingxia Zhenjun’s expression also became extremely solemn.

“Let’s go, follow me to find Zixia!”

Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately took Zixi with her, transformed into a rainbow light, and instantly landed in Zixia Zhenjun’s dojo.
