Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Inner Demons Arise, Seven Emotions Mysterious Technique (Seeking Subscriptions)

Wouldn’t a Nascent Soul cultivator be untrustworthy?

Li Chang’an remained noncommittal.

He had seen far too many people break their promises in his life.

Moreover, the divination had already given a hint that Mu Wei would not keep his promise and would attack soon.

“Before that, I must find a way to keep Yao Lanqin here. If she leaves, things will become quite troublesome.”

Thinking of this

, Li Chang’an immediately took out fourth-grade spiritual tea, brewed it with spiritual spring water, and served it to Yao Lanqin.

“Senior, please have some tea.”

“It seems you have some good fortune. No wonder you were able to cultivate to the Golden Core stage with a low-grade spiritual root talent.”

Yao Lanqin did not refuse and accepted the spiritual tea with her jade-like hand.

Fourth-grade spiritual tea was quite valuable; even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch like her, it was a rare treat.

“Li Chang’an, do you have any questions about cultivation?”

She sipped the tea, her lips slightly parted.

Li Chang’an immediately replied, “Senior, I have some questions about the Heart Demon Tribulation. Please enlighten me.”

“Heart Demon Tribulation?”

Yao Lanqin’s eyes were indifferent. She glanced at him and then reassessed his cultivation level.

“You’re only at the early Golden Core stage. You should focus on breaking through to higher realms and improving your minor cultivation levels. Don’t be overly ambitious. The Heart Demon Tribulation is too far removed from you; you may never experience it in your lifetime.”

“This junior understands.”

Li Chang’an’s tone was respectful, feigning humility.

He was merely using this as a pretext to stall for time, as the Heart Demon Tribulation was extremely complex and difficult to explain in a short time.

Moreover, Yao Lanqin was a Nascent Soul disciple.

Perhaps she could truly offer a useful method for overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.

However, she only said, “Do not be afraid. Face it directly. The more you fear and worry, the easier it is to sink into the illusion of the Heart Demon, or even prematurely develop a Heart Demon.”

With that, she tossed out a jade slip.

Li Chang’an caught the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense, discovering that it contained cases of Wan Zhen Sect members failing to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Among them were many prodigies with Heavenly Spiritual Roots!

The last one to fail was just a few days ago.

That person possessed extraordinary talent, and his cultivation path had been smooth sailing. He had reached the peak of the Golden Core stage many years ago, but after witnessing several predecessors fail in their tribulations of inner demons, he feared he would fail as well and hesitated to undergo the tribulation.

Even though the sect had prepared a large number of treasures for him, he repeatedly declined.

As a result ,

before he even faced the tribulation, his fear caused his inner demons to arise spontaneously!

“Inner demons arising from fear of undergoing the tribulation of inner demons…”

Li Chang’an clicked his tongue in amazement.

This was not an isolated case.

The Myriad Array Sect had countless geniuses, and people frequently failed their tribulations.

Even in the resource-rich Transformation Immortal Sect, not everyone could successfully undergo their tribulation.

“Just be fearless,”

Yao Lanqin said calmly.

“When I reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in one go, without hesitation or fear. The tribulation of inner demons was nothing to me.”

“I understand, thank you, senior.”

“It’s good that you understand, but you should cultivate to the late Golden Core stage first. Before that, there’s no need…”

She suddenly paused, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she glanced at the horizon.

Li Chang’an also noticed at that moment.

An unfamiliar aura was rapidly approaching Changqing Mountain.

That aura was extremely powerful, reaching the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and it bore some resemblance to Mu Teng. It should be Mu Wei mentioned in the divination.

He seemed to sense Yao Lanqin’s aura as well, and suddenly stopped at the horizon.

Yao Lanqin coldly said, “Fellow Daoist Mu, since you’ve come all this way, why not show yourself and have a chat?”

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Yao, we meet again.”

After his identity was exposed, Mu Wei no longer concealed himself and instantly appeared before Changqing Mountain.

He wore a green robe, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Mu Teng. He cupped his hands in greeting to Yao Lanqin.

Yao Lanqin coldly questioned, “Fellow Daoist Mu, you promised me you wouldn’t attack Li Chang’an in private. Why have you gone back on your word?”

Mu Wei smiled, “Li Chang’an is just a Golden Core cultivator. Even if he dies here today, it won’t have much of an impact. Our two sects and affiliated forces have plenty of Golden Core cultivators.”

“The rules are here. Even Qi Refining cultivators are not allowed!”

Yao Lanqin’s expression was icy, her attitude firm, and a hint of anger was already lurking.

Just a moment ago, she had reassured Li Chang’an that Mu Wei wouldn’t attack Changqing Mountain.

But Mu Wei’s sudden appearance made her previous words seem particularly ridiculous.

She really hadn’t expected that Mu Wei, the son of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, would be so untrustworthy and disregard the rules of the two sects.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, your every word and action involves your father, Mu Teng Heavenly Lord. If he finds out about this, I’m afraid he will lose face.”

“I acted impulsively. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yao.”

Mu Wei’s smile faded, and his expression became more serious.

Yao Lanqin coldly said, “I have recorded today’s events with a recording stone. If you dare to offend me again, I will have my master discuss this matter with your father.”

“This…”

Mu Wei’s expression changed slightly.

Once a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord intervenes, even a small matter becomes a big deal!

He forced a smile: “No need for that. I can guarantee that I will not come to Changqing Mountain again.”

“Very well, remember your words!”

“I will leave now, Fellow Daoist Yao, there is no need to be angry.”

“Wait!”

Yao Lanqin suddenly called out to him.

She coldly questioned, “Did my junior brother Tong Hu accept your benefits?”

“He…”

Mu Wei paused, seemingly hesitant.

In the end, he said nothing, but transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared into the horizon.

Yao Lanqin’s eyes were icy as she looked in the direction he disappeared, and said indifferently, “It seems that my junior brother did indeed accept his benefits.”

Li Chang’an stood beside her, silent.

He secretly remembered Tong Hu’s name.

He originally had no ill feelings towards this person. Although his methods were cruel, he was only doing it for the sect.

But now,

this person, for his own selfish gain, allowed Mu Wei, an outsider, to attack him.

“If it weren’t for the divination, this matter would be quite troublesome; I might even expose my strength.”

Li Chang’an knew very well.

The reason Mu Wei was humiliated by Yao Lanqin was because of the rules of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, not because of his strength.

He had a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level and a Deity Transformation father, so he had never lacked resources since childhood. He could probably fight beyond his level and rival a late-Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if Li Chang’an used all his means, he couldn’t defeat him now; at most, he could barely save his life.

“Ultimately, my strength is insufficient.”

He sighed inwardly.

“The faith power provided by the Fire Cloud Secret Realm is limited; I need to unravel the mysteries of the teleportation array as soon as possible and open more secret realms.”

“That Xuan Shui Turtle is also a bit lazy; he hasn’t absorbed that drop of treasure that seems to be Xuanwu essence blood yet. I need to spur him on.”

Li Chang’an secretly pondered the possibility of improving his strength.

Just as he was thinking…

Yao Lanqin addressed him, “Li Chang’an, this was my fault. Mu Wei disregarded his reputation and went back on his word; this was something I didn’t expect.”

Li Chang’an respectfully replied, “Senior Yao, you are upright and honest; naturally, you wouldn’t see through the thoughts of such petty people.”

“No need for such flattery. I’ve never liked flatterers; I only value strength and potential.”

Yao Lanqin’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she were reprimanding him.

However, although she said she disliked it, her tone was no longer as cold as before, much more peaceful.

“After today, Mu Wei shouldn’t come again. If you’re worried, come with me to the Wanzhen Sect. I’ll ask someone to arrange a position for you in the sect’s alchemy hall.”

If other Golden Core cultivators heard this, they would be overjoyed.

After all, this was an opportunity to enter the Wanzhen Sect.

As long as they agreed, they could become true members of the Wanzhen Sect, no longer a subordinate force of inferiority.

Li Chang’an politely declined, saying, “Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I believe Mu Wei won’t come again. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself with arranging an identity for me.”

Hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Yao Lanqin’s eyes.

Like the previous Beast Taming Wheel spirit, she was somewhat surprised.

An opportunity that outsiders could only dream of, Li Chang’an had directly refused, as if the Myriad Array Sect wasn’t some celestial sect, but a ruthless demonic sect that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

Yao Lanqin suppressed her astonishment and didn’t mention the matter again, only saying to him, “In that case, cultivate diligently and don’t slack off. I’m leaving.”

With that, she didn’t linger, transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Li Chang’an cupped his hands and said, “Take care, Senior!”

A moment later,

he returned to his cave, sealed the gate, and summoned the Xuan Shui Turtle to his side.

“Little Black, why haven’t you refined that drop of essence blood yet? Is there something you’re worried about?”

“Master, the old tortoise senior told me to wait a little longer. He’s still researching that drop of essence blood, planning to add some auxiliary essence blood and medicine to maximize its effect,”

the Xuan Shui Turtle answered honestly.

Li Chang’an nodded: “Alright, if you lack any treasures, just tell me, and I’ll try my best to find a way for you.”

Afterward, he went to the Fire Cloud Secret Realm to try to repair the teleportation array within.

However, several attempts ended in failure.

“My mastery of the Void Dao is ultimately lacking; I still can’t successfully draw a few array patterns, but it should be soon. I just need to touch the Void Symbols a few more times,”

Li Chang’an predicted.

In a few more years, he would be able to repair the teleportation array.

He was very much looking forward to the secret realms that these dozen or so teleportation arrays led to.

If each secret realm was similar to the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, his faith power would experience a surge!

Just then,

a colorful communication jade pendant in his storage bag suddenly heated up.

Li Chang’an took it out, probed it with his divine sense, and heard Ning Cailian’s voice.

“Fellow Daoist Li, how is the matter? Has Senior Yao managed to repel Mu Wei?”

“Everything went smoothly.”

Li Chang’an briefly explained what had happened, then thanked her.

“Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ning.”

“No need to thank me. You saved my life; I should repay you. Do you have any other troubles?”

“Yes.”

Since the other party had taken the initiative to speak, Li Chang’an naturally wouldn’t let it pass.

He immediately told her, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I’m searching for two kinds of strange fire, but they’re both too rare, and I don’t have many clues yet.”

“Oh? What two kinds of strange fire?”

“The Burning Heart Fire and the Seven Emotions Fire.”

Li Chang’an told her the truth and asked Ning Cailian if she had heard of them.

Ning Cailian, as expected of a cultivator from the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect, was knowledgeable and experienced. She had not only heard of these two strange fires but also knew how to obtain them.

“Fellow Daoist Li, the sect will be issuing a recruitment mission, summoning cultivators from all sides to go to the ‘Blood Crystal Secret Realm’ to mine blood crystals. Occasionally, a wisp of Burning Heart Fire will appear within that secret realm.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an’s spirits lifted.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, can anyone participate in this recruitment mission?”

“Of course.”

Ning Cailian told him that this mission was easier than the previous Wan Dan Lake mission.

There was no time limit, and it wasn’t a forced recruitment.

Anyone could go!

It was a long-term mission.

As long as Li Chang’an had free time, he could go anytime to mine blood crystals and exchange them for sect contributions.

If he was lucky, he could encounter the Burning Heart Flame in the secret realm.

Before this,

the Wan Zhen Sect had already obtained quite a few Burning Heart Flames in the secret realm.

Li Chang’an could trade directly with the Wan Zhen Sect, or he could go to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm to find them himself.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, how many spirit stones would I need for a direct trade?”

“Ten top-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a wisp of Burning Heart Flame.”

Upon hearing this, Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

According to the description of the One Heart Pill formula, he needed a ball of Burning Heart Flame.

Just one wisp wasn’t enough; perhaps dozens of wisps of Burning Heart Flame would be needed to form a ball.

In other words,

he would need to take out hundreds of top-grade spirit stones!

But he only had a little over two hundred in total, which was probably not enough for the trade.

“Fine, I’ll try my luck. I’ve always had good luck,”

Li Chang’an decided.

He would first go to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm to search for the Burning Heart Flame. If he couldn’t find it, he would then trade with the Myriad Array Sect.

He believed in his luck; surely he wouldn’t be left without even a wisp of Burning Heart Flame.

Compared to the Burning Heart Flame,

obtaining the Seven Emotions Flame was more troublesome.

Ning Cailian said, “This flame is not a rare flame of heaven and earth, and it cannot be traded. Fellow Daoist Li, you must cultivate the ‘Seven Emotions Profound Art’ to condense the fire seed.”

“I understand, but I don’t know where to find the ‘Seven Emotions Profound Art’.”

“Fellow Daoist Li, do you know the Seven Emotions Sect? This sect is an affiliated sect of my Myriad Array Sect. Its mountain gate is in the north of the Myriad Array Domain. Your Changqing Mountain is in the south, so you may not have much contact with it.”

Ning Cailian pointed out the direction for Li Chang’an.

The Seven Emotions Sect’s core inheritance included the ‘Seven Emotions Profound Art’.

However, Li Chang’an was just an outsider, not a disciple of the Seven Emotions Sect, so it would be difficult for him to obtain its core inheritance.

Upon hearing this, Li Chang’an immediately had an idea.

The Seven Emotions Sect was merely a Nascent Soul sect, without a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord presiding over it.

He could easily disguise himself as a core disciple, steal the inheritance, and leave without being discovered.

At this moment, Ning Cailian suddenly said, “Fellow Daoist Li, I need to deal with the Blood Crystal Secret Realm matter these few days. After I finish this, I will personally take you to the Seven Emotions Sect. You don’t need to worry about this.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning!”

Li Chang’an immediately thanked her.

It felt really good to have connections; he didn’t need to scheme and could obtain the Seven Emotions Profound Technique openly and honestly.

Ning Cailian asked him, “Fellow Daoist Li, is there anything else you want to know?”

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Ning, do you know the Refining Heart Jade? “

“Yes, this item appeared at a small auction in my Myriad Arrays Sect not long ago, and Fellow Daoist Li knows the person who bought it.”

“Oh? I wonder which fellow Daoist it was?”

“Mu Wei.”

“It was him…”

Li Chang’an frowned.

If it were any other cultivator, he could find a way to trade, but it had to be this person.

He couldn’t very well kill Mu Wei to steal the treasure.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, do you have any other channels to trade the Heart Refining Jade?”

“No, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. This item has appeared at auctions more than once. If it appears again, I’ll notify you in advance. Fellow Daoist Li, just prepare some top-grade spirit stones.”

“How many top-grade spirit stones do I need?”

“At least fifty.”

Ning Cailian informed him that Mu Wei had spent forty-three top-grade spirit stones to buy the Heart Refining Jade .

To be on the safe side, she asked Li Chang’an to prepare fifty.

Hearing this number,

Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.

He had enough top-grade spirit stones; there was no need to sell treasures to raise the money.

“Fellow Daoist Li, why aren’t you surprised at all? You really can come up with fifty top-grade spirit stones?”

Ning Cailian’s tone held a hint of curiosity.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators couldn’t even produce one, let alone fifty.

Even many Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t afford many.

Li Chang’an replied, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I will find a way to raise the funds. If this matter can be accomplished, I am willing to give you several top-grade spirit stones as a reward.”

“Very well, it’s a deal!”

Ning Cailian readily agreed .

At this point, Li Chang’an had essentially secured the two types of strange fire and the Heart-Refining Jade he needed.

Afterwards, he inquired about the specifics of the Blood Crystal Secret Realm from Ning Cailian. After

some conversation,

he learned that the so-called “Blood Crystal” was a treasure beneficial to body refinement, which could be used to refine Qi and Blood Pills.

However,

the blood energy within the secret realm was too dense.

Monsters formed from the convergence of blood energy frequently appear.

The deeper one ventures into the secret realm, the higher the probability of encountering monsters, and the higher their rank, with many even reaching the fourth rank.

Therefore,

the Myriad Array Sect suggests that recruited cultivators mine blood crystals in the outer areas near the secret realm’s exit.

Although the quality of blood crystals in the outer areas is lower, it is safer.

Ning Cailian said, “Fellow Daoist Li, you only have Golden Core cultivation; it’s best to seek the Burning Heart Flame in the outer areas and not venture into the depths of the secret realm.” “

I understand.”

Li Chang’an naturally wouldn’t take the risk.

Although his strength was considerable, he didn’t want to be besieged by fourth-rank monsters.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, does the sect have any means to subdue those blood energy monsters?”

“No, we can only forcibly annihilate them.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an seemed thoughtful.

Among the pill formulas left by Mu Yixin was a pill called “Blood Transformation Nether Pill,” which could deal with monsters formed from blood energy.

“Perhaps this pill will be useful against the monsters in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm. I must refine some, just in case!”

The Blood Transformation Nether Pill is only a low-grade fourth-tier pill, not difficult to refine, and the required materials are relatively common.

After ending his conversation with Ning Cailian,

Li Chang’an immediately took action, acquiring a batch of materials and refining the Blood Transformation Nether Pill in his alchemy room.

…

Two days later, just as dawn broke,

a series of summons golden tokens pierced the sky, flying towards various forces in the Myriad Array Domain. Even many Foundation Establishment forces received a golden token.

Li Chang’an took the golden token and glanced at it briefly.

The contents

were almost identical to what Ning Cailian had said before.

This summons had no coercive element; the forces could go as they pleased, and no one would come to pick them up.

Li Chang’an immediately headed to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm, casually performing a few divinations along the way, all of which yielded “neutral” results.

“Not bad. Even if I can’t find the Burning Heart Flame, I won’t be in any danger.”

He felt relieved and continued on his way.

The Blood Crystal Secret Realm was also in the south of the Myriad Array Domain, not too far from Changqing Mountain.

Several hours later,

the Blood Crystal Realm came into view.

Even before approaching, Li Chang’an sensed a rich aura of blood.

Soon after, he landed at the entrance of the realm and met Ning Cailian.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve arrived quickly. Please follow me,”

Ning Cailian said with a smile, leading Li Chang’an into the realm.
