Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 442

Chapter 442 An Unexpected Joy, Not Enough Killing Yet (Please Subscribe)

Soul Control Stone, an extremely rare demonic treasure.

Li Chang’an had heard of it before.

This item can manipulate the soul of a cultivator, indirectly controlling their physical body by controlling the soul, thus controlling their every move.

In short,

it is a treasure for controlling cultivators remotely.

“This person wants the Soul Control Stone, most likely to deal with an enemy in secret.”

Li Chang’an stood aside, silent, quietly listening to the conversation between the two.

A dark light flashed in Wan Hun’s hand, and a pitch-black crystal appeared.

He said calmly to the puppet, “This is the Soul Control Stone. If you want to use it to control other cultivators, you need to obtain their aura. Do you have that person’s aura?”

“Yes!”

The puppet immediately provided a wisp of aura.

Sensing this aura, Li Chang’an was immediately surprised, because it was his aura!

Wan Hun Zhenjun let out a soft exclamation.

“Li Chang’an of the Zixia Sect?”

“How do you know him?”

The puppet seemed somewhat surprised.

Wan Hun smiled faintly: “I’ve specifically investigated all the Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators on the righteous path. This Li Chang’an had some good fortune. I originally planned to capture him personally after this battle, seize his soul for refinement, and interrogate him about his fortuitous encounters.”

“I see.”

The puppet nodded slightly, without asking further questions.

Li Chang’an understood; it turned out this old man had his eye on his fortuitous encounters.

If his true form had grown up in the demonic realm, this old man would probably have already made his move.

However,

he was somewhat puzzled by the puppet’s identity.

“Who is this person? Why would he go to such lengths to obtain such a rare treasure as the Soul Control Stone to deal with a Golden Core cultivator like me?”

The Soul Control Stone was quite valuable.

The price to obtain it, even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, was extremely high.

Unless there was deep-seated hatred or a special purpose, few people would use it against a Golden Core cultivator.

“Could it be that old fellow Cang Hong?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

He hadn’t sensed Cang Hong’s aura on the puppet.

This body of Wu Mo’s only possessed the cultivation of the peak Golden Core stage, and its special status made it inconvenient to sense it closely.

He could only stand quietly to the side and continue listening to the two’s conversation.

Wan Hun said to the puppet, “Li Chang’an must possess considerable opportunities. If you capture him, I will not be able to obtain those opportunities.”

The puppet’s expression darkened: “You don’t want to trade?”

“No, if there is something I need, I will trade with you.”

“What do you want?” “

The method for refining the Myriad Souls Fire!”

The old demon Wan Hun stated his request.

Hearing this,

both Li Chang’an and the puppet were somewhat surprised.

The puppet asked, “Wan Hun, your natal demonic fire is the Myriad Souls Fire. You should know how to refine it. Why do you want to ask me for its refining method?”

“My Myriad Souls Fire is merely a soul fire refined based on descriptions in ancient texts; it is not the true Myriad Souls Fire.”

Wan Hun explained the reason in a calm tone.

Although his Myriad Souls Fire was strong, it was not comparable to the true Myriad Souls Fire.

The true method for refining the Myriad Souls Fire was unique to the ancient Netherworld Sect, and in the current cultivation world, only a few revived Netherworld Sect cultivators knew it.

He had personally witnessed a revived cultivator wield the Myriad Souls Fire, its power far surpassing his own.

“I originally intended to exchange this fire-refining method with revived cultivators, but they were all unwilling to trade. Perhaps a revived cultivator from your righteous path would give it to me.”

“That’s hard to say.”

The puppet looked troubled, clearly finding the matter difficult.

Myriad Souls smiled faintly: “Fellow Daoist, I have already stated my conditions. If you sincerely wish to trade, then find me the fire-refining method.”

“Alright, I’ll try.”

The puppet agreed and was about to leave.

Myriad Souls suddenly asked him, “Are you Cang Hong?”

The puppet paused, but did not reply, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

Myriad Souls’ eyes were deep as he gazed in the direction the puppet had vanished, before returning to his cultivation place after a long while.

“Disciple, collect the spirit tea.”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an tidied up the place and then returned to Wumo Dojo to ponder quietly.

Although he couldn’t confirm the puppet’s identity, he had determined the Wanhun Old Demon’s needs through this conversation.

“If I can obtain the true Wanhun Fire refining method, I should be able to use it to lure him out of the Netherworld Soul Sect alone.”

After some thought,

Li Chang’an contacted Yan Ruxuan, asking her to introduce him to a Netherworld Prison Sect resurrected cultivator willing to trade.

Yan Ruxuan acted quickly and arranged a meeting for him in no time.

It was still in Ziyun Immortal City.

The next day,

Li Chang’an changed his identity to Lin Fan and met the man.

The man was wearing a black robe and exuded a cold aura, with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

Yan Ruxuan smiled and introduced, “Fellow Daoist Lin, this is Fellow Daoist Tang Yan of the Netherworld Prison Sect.”

“Fellow Daoist Tang.”

Li Chang’an also smiled and communicated with the man, while secretly observing him.

He was surprised to find that the man was shrouded in blood light, indicating that he would soon face a bloody disaster.

In addition…

There was an aura on this person that Li Chang’an recognized very well.

This aura belonged to a mysterious female cultivator who frequently visited the cave of the Ten Thousand Souls Demon.

“Could that female cultivator also be a resurrected cultivator?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

After some conversation, he brought up the purpose of his visit.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, I wish to obtain the method for refining the Ten Thousand Souls Fire. I wonder if you are interested in making a trade?”

“Yes, but my requirements are high.”

“Please speak plainly, Fellow Daoist Tang.”

“Very well…”

Tang Yan immediately stated his terms:

one billion souls!

He would give Li Chang’an the method for refining the Myriad Soul Fire if Li Chang’an could produce one billion souls .

Hearing this number, Li Chang’an fell silent.

He only had a little over two hundred million souls in total.

Where would he get one billion?

Even if he went to the demonic path to plunder several more times, it would be difficult to gather that many souls, and he might even be targeted by the demonic path, putting himself in danger.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, could you perhaps change your request?”

Li Chang’an’s tone was calm as he began to negotiate with Tang Yan.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to Yan Ruxuan.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, does this Fellow Daoist Tang have anyone close to him? His demands are too high. If we can persuade someone close to him, perhaps he can lower his demands.”

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Tang has a Daoist partner named ‘Mei Ruyan.’ Fellow Daoist Li, could you sense another aura on her?”

“I sensed it.”

“That is Mei Ruyan’s aura.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

Why does Tang Yan’s Daoist partner frequently visit the Ten Thousand Souls Demon’s cave and stay for several hours at a time?

Could it be that the Ten Thousand Souls Demon also has his eye on the refining method in Tang Yan’s possession?

“If that’s the case, the Ten Thousand Souls Demon has quite the methods, managing to secretly collude with this person’s Daoist partner.”

“No wonder this person has suffered a bloody calamity.”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

He suspected that

Tang Yan’s Daoist partner might very well turn against him.

Thinking of this, he asked again,

“Fellow Daoist Yan, what is the relationship between Fellow Daoist Tang and his Daoist partner?”

“Their ideologies don’t align, and they often argue, but after all, they’ve been together for hundreds of years, so they reconcile after their arguments.”

Yan Ruxuan replied secretly.

Hearing this, Li Chang’an felt even more certain that his guess was correct.

Tang Yan’s bloody calamity most likely stemmed from his bedmate, though he himself was unaware of it.

“This person is willing to make a deal, although his demands are high, there’s still hope. We can’t let him die like this.”

Thinking of this,

Li Chang’an casually reminded him.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, I sensed this aura on you from the Demonic Path. Could it be that you’ve been associating with them recently? Demonic cultivators are mostly cunning; you must be careful.”

“The Demonic Path?”

Tang Yan shook his head slightly, truthfully replying.

“This aura on me belongs to my Daoist partner, Mei Ruyan. She disagrees with me and supports the Demonic Path’s actions, but she would never harm me. Fellow Daoist Li, there’s no need to worry.”

“Alright, it seems I was overthinking it.”

Li Chang’an put the topic aside and continued discussing the transaction.

Tang Yan knew his demands were too difficult, so he compromised, only asking for five hundred million souls.

If Li Chang’an couldn’t produce five hundred million souls, he could exchange them for some rare soul-related treasures.

Unfortunately,

Li Chang’an didn’t possess any of these treasures.

The transaction had to be temporarily suspended.

After a while,

Tang Yan bid farewell to Li Chang’an and Yan Ruxuan, leaving alone.

Li Chang’an watched his retreating figure, lost in thought.

He secretly intercepted a trace of Tang Yan’s aura for future deduction. In

the days that followed,

Yan Ruxuan contacted more than a dozen resurrected cultivators from the Netherworld Soul Sect for Li Chang’an, including those at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages. However, they either had no intention of trading or did not know the refining method.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the Myriad Poison Gu absorbed all the treasures and then devoured the poisonous toad, successfully advancing to the mid-stage of the fourth rank.

From then on,

even if Li Chang’an did not use other methods, simply having the Myriad Poison Gu release its poison could pose a threat to mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Another good method has been added,”

Li Chang’an said with a smile, instructing the Myriad Poison Gu to cultivate diligently and consolidate its cultivation.

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day,

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, with a tortoise shell placed in front of him, using divination techniques to predict the future.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

“Tang Yan is facing imminent death. If I can save his life, I might be able to obtain his method for refining the Myriad Soul Fire.”

“If I can’t save him, I’ll seize the method from his enemies!”

With a thought, Li Chang’an extracted Tang Yan’s aura and deduced his location, quickly obtaining a general direction.

He quietly left the Zixia Sect, changed his identity to Lin Fan, and headed straight for Tang Yan’s location.

Not long after,

at midnight,

a golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You killed Tang Yan’s Daoist partner, saved Tang Yan’s life, gained his gratitude, and successfully obtained the method for refining the Myriad Soul Fire.]

“Auspicious divination.”

Li Chang’an felt relieved.

“This Tang Yan’s Daoist partner is really problematic.”

He used the Flying Goose Pearl, his speed increasing dramatically, rapidly approaching Tang Yan’s location.

Meanwhile,

Tang Yan and his Daoist partner, Mei Ruyan, were entering the depths of the Black Dragon Mountains, intending to explore an ancient ruin.

Mei Ruyan’s expression was gentle, her eyes like water. She said softly, “Tang Lang, that ruin was discovered by one of my retainers. He said the yin energy there is extremely heavy, suitable for burying a coffin of seclusion. Perhaps we can unearth a few like-minded people.”

“Ruyan, why have you changed your temperament lately, being so gentle with me?”

Tang Yan smiled and held Mei Ruyan’s hand.

Mei Ruyan looked at him tenderly and replied softly, “Tang Lang, I’ve thought it through. We barely escaped that great calamity and struggled to awaken in this life. Why argue all the time? I’ve let go of the Immortal Sect’s affairs. Let’s just live out this life peacefully.” “

Good, good! That’s what I think too!”

Tang Yan laughed loudly, in a very good mood.

But as he laughed, he suddenly coughed.

“Cough cough…cough…what’s going on…”

He was startled and immediately shook off Mei Ruyan’s hand, retreating quickly to look at his hand.

On his hand, a black line had appeared without him noticing.

The poison contained within it made him shudder.

A mid-grade fourth-level spiritual poison!

The poison had seeped into his meridians, bone marrow, and internal organs, even eroding his nascent soul, causing him to lose most of his strength almost instantly.

He stared at Mei Ruyan in disbelief, demanding sharply, “Ruyan, why did you do this?”

Mei Ruyan didn’t answer directly, but coldly asked him,

“Tang Yan, why won’t you help me restore the glory of the Nine Great Immortal Sects?”

“It really is because of this!”

Tang Yan swallowed several antidote pills, desperately suppressing the spiritual poison.

His face was grim, and he shouted, “The Nine Great Immortal Sects have long been destroyed, the past is all dust, why are you so stubborn?”

“You’re wrong, the Nine Great Immortal Sects will one day reappear. You refuse to help me, instead you try to hinder me, you deserve this calamity.”

Mei Ruyan’s expression was cold, devoid of any tenderness.

“Tang Yan, give me the method to refine the Myriad Soul Fire, and I may spare your life.”

“Myriad Soul Fire?”

Tang Yan trembled, immediately understanding everything.

His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Mei Ruyan.

“You did all this for Wan Hun?”

“That’s right. I’ve become Wan Hun’s Daoist partner. The fourth-tier spiritual poison you’re afflicted with was obtained by him from the Five Poison Valley.”

“You…you…”

Tang Yan’s face turned ashen, his voice trembled, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood.

“You poisonous woman, I will definitely kill you!”

His heart was filled with murderous intent, wishing he could kill Mei Ruyan immediately, but under the corrosive effects of the spiritual poison, he was already half-crippled and unable to mobilize much power.

In this state, how could he possibly be a match for Mei Ruyan?

Thinking of this ,

a sense of regret and sorrow rose in his heart.

“Fellow Daoist Li once reminded me that he is an upright person with an excellent reputation. I should have believed him, not this poisonous woman!”

Now, it was too late for regrets. He could only try to escape from this place first.

But would Mei Ruyan give him a chance?

“Tang Yan, since you refuse to give it to me, then enter my Soul Banner.”

Mei Ruyan waved her hand, and a Soul Banner appeared, emitting a fourth-tier aura.

Tang Yan knew he was doomed and sighed inwardly.

“My life is over!”

But just then,

a dazzling sword light suddenly ripped through the sky, traversing the heavens and instantly reaching Mei Ruyan.

Mei Ruyan’s expression changed drastically. She was about to defend herself when she suddenly felt dizzy, as if her soul was about to leave her body. She stood motionless.

“Boom!”

Without using any means of defense, she took the attack head-on.

A loud explosion rang out, and she instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Immediately afterward ,

her nascent soul screamed and flew out, its face filled with horror. It tried to escape into the distance, but in the blink of an eye, it crashed into a large net.

“Collect!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and summoned her nascent soul into a separate Infant-Sealing Bottle.

“I don’t have enough Infant-Sealing Bottles. I need to find a few more pieces of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade to refine more Infant-Sealing Bottles.”

He thought to himself, and casually sealed the bottle’s mouth.

Then, he summoned her Soul Banner and checked the number of souls within it.

“Over sixty million souls!”

Li Chang’an immediately smiled.

His trip was solely for the method of refining the Myriad Soul Fire; these souls were an unexpected bonus.

Including these, the total number of souls in his Soul Banner had exceeded three hundred million!

After collecting all the spoils,

he looked at Tang Yan and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Tang, I lost control for a moment and went too far, killing your Daoist companion. Please don’t blame me.”

“Well done!”

Tang Yan showed no resentment, only feeling immense satisfaction.

He swallowed several more antidote pills and sighed, “Fellow Daoist Li, if I had listened to you, I wouldn’t have been deceived by this poisonous woman. But I regretted it too late, and now I’m too deeply poisoned. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to send me back to the cycle of reincarnation.”

“Fellow Daoist Tang, it’s too early to say that,”

Li Chang’an smiled, letting the Myriad Poison Gu extract the poison remotely.

Soon,

Tang Yan’s expression changed.

His face was filled with shock, and he asked incredulously, “Fellow Daoist Li, you’re actually proficient in the art of poison?”

“I just have a special antidote. How does it feel, Fellow Daoist Tang?”

“The spiritual poison in my body has been cured. Thank you for saving my life, Fellow Daoist Li!”

With that, Tang Yan took out a jade slip.

He handed it to Li Chang’an, saying, “Fellow Daoist Li, inside this jade slip is the method for refining the Myriad Soul Fire of my Netherworld Sect.”

Li Chang’an said nothing and accepted it directly.

He probed it with his divine sense.

This so-called Myriad Soul Fire was a demonic fire ignited by countless souls as fuel.

The more souls, the greater the fire’s power.

If ten million souls were burned at once, a wisp of demonic fire powerful enough to threaten a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could be refined.

However ,

this fire was one-time use.

It would disappear after the souls were burned out.

“To expend tens of millions of souls just to unleash a demonic fire comparable to the strength of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is simply not worth it.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, abandoning the idea of cultivation.

He only had a little over three hundred million souls in total; how could he withstand such consumption?

Even without burning his souls, he still possessed the strength of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He put away the jade slip, intending to use it to lure out the Ten Thousand Souls Demon.

…

That noon.

Li Chang’an returned to the Purple Cloud Sect.

He took out Mei Ruyan’s storage bag, glanced at it briefly, and thought there wouldn’t be any surprises.

But not long after, his eyes lit up, and he took out a talisman.

“A Realm-Splitting Talisman!”

He truly hadn’t expected to find a Realm-Splitting Talisman in Mei Ruyan’s storage bag.

This talisman was somewhat dim, having already been used twice, but still had three uses left.

Including Li Chang’an’s own talisman, he now had four more chances to tear through the void and escape!

That was equivalent to four lives.

Of course.

Even with a Realm-Splitting Talisman, he couldn’t be careless.

Mei Ruyan failed to escape using the Rift Symbol because she was affected by the Soul-Seizing Technique and didn’t have time to use it.

Besides the Rift Symbol, there were also some decent soul-path treasures in her storage bag.

Li Chang’an checked them one by one.

…

A few days later.

Li Chang’an entered the territory of the Yan Kingdom, selected an ancient Netherworld Sect ruin, and set up numerous traps.

“These traps should be enough, let’s wait for the divination.”

Soon, the divination appeared, showing a “neutral” hexagram.

He was relieved and immediately controlled Wu Mo, using the method of refining the Myriad Soul Fire as bait, successfully luring the Myriad Soul True Monarch out of the Netherworld Sect.

Not long after.

The Myriad Soul True Monarch entered the ruin and stepped into the trap Li Chang’an had prepared for him.

Li Chang’an did not hesitate and used the power of multiple fourth-order grand formations to press down on the Myriad Soul True Monarch.

He thought there wouldn’t be too many surprises.

But at this moment, a soft “crack” was heard, and a protective treasure in front of the Myriad Soul True Monarch suddenly shattered.

The next instant, a tall, slender figure in white robes appeared before the Myriad Souls True Monarch.

The moment this figure appeared, all the great formations shattered simultaneously.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, exuding a unique aura. His gaze fell upon Li Chang’an, his deep eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

“Li Fan, haven’t you killed enough?”
