Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 479

Chapter 479 A Series of Moves Leads to a Skyrocketing Fortune (Please Subscribe)

“It came so easily, it seems I don’t need to wait for Yao Shichen anymore.”

Li Chang’an’s lips curled slightly, his mood greatly improved.

The amount of this essence blood was enough for him to break through to the fourth level of body refinement.

Apart from this item, the other treasures in the storage bag were indeed not of very high value, just as Li Chang’an had expected.

Only about forty top-grade spirit stones were worth his attention.

After taking stock

, Li Chang’an did a simple divination, and the result was very stable.

“It seems that taking down True Monarch Bihai won’t have too much of an impact.”

He felt relieved, took out the essence blood, and prepared the medicinal liquid needed to break through to the fourth level of body refinement.

Before long, a rich smell of blood and medicine filled the air.

He slowly entered the medicinal bath, submerged himself in the liquid, sat cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, and practiced divination techniques while refining his body.

Just then,

Li Chang’an suddenly noticed that the communication treasure in True Monarch Bihai’s storage bag was slightly warm.

He took out his communication artifact and probed it with his divine sense, immediately hearing Mu Wei’s voice.

“Fellow Daoist Bi Hai, why haven’t you returned yet? Has something happened?”

Li Chang’an didn’t respond, casually tossing the artifact aside.

He pondered to himself, “Mu Wei has already sensed the problem and might send more people to deal with me. If they’re all ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators like Bi Hai, they won’t pose much of a threat to me; they’re just here to deliver treasures to Changqing Mountain.”

“If a Nascent Soul Grandmaster appears, I can leave Changqing Mountain temporarily.”

“If another Deity Transformation cultivator makes a move, I’ll just run to the Wanzhen Sect for refuge…”

Li Chang’an had already planned his escape route for the many possible scenarios he might face.

Even if Mu Teng made another move, he didn’t need to be afraid, and he didn’t even need to ask Du Yi for help; he could just hide at Yao Shichen’s Daoist temple.

Mu Teng wouldn’t attack the Wanzhen Sect for him.

Of course, Li Chang’an wasn’t careless.

Each Deity Transformation Heavenly Monarch was quite capable.

He worried that Mu Teng might be using clones to target his main body, so he destroyed most of his clones, even the new clone from the Purple Cloud Sect.

Now, only a few clones disguised as his own remained, searching for the Burning Heart Flame in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

The clones’ efficiency in finding the Burning Heart Flame was far inferior to his own, but they could still gain something, after all, a wisp of Burning Heart Flame was worth ten top-grade spirit stones!

“My two hundred-odd top-grade spirit stones are simply not enough. Before the Blood Sacrifice Array is activated, I must try to find as much Burning Heart Flame as possible.”

Li Chang’an performed divination in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm almost daily to predict the exact time the Blood Sacrifice Array would activate.

Just then,

he suddenly received a message from True Monarch Han Hai.

“Young friend Li, True Monarch Bi Hai of the Azure Sea Sect might attack you. Be extra cautious recently. If you are not confident in your ability to handle it, come and hide in my Azure Sea Sect.”

“Thank you for your kindness, senior. I have some trump cards and should be able to cope.”

Li Chang’an replied casually.

…

Meanwhile.

Azure Sea Sect.

The secret chamber was dimly lit, with soul lamps flickering.

The soul lamps of most Golden Core cultivators shone brightly, except for the one at the very top, belonging to a Nascent Soul True Monarch, which remained dim.

“The soul fire is dim, and the communication artifacts haven’t responded. It seems Bihai has fallen.”

Mu Wei frowned slightly, his eyes reflecting the flickering flames.

“He’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch, after all. He shouldn’t have fallen to Li Chang’an, a mere Golden Core cultivator. Could it be that Yao Lanqin is still at Changqing Mountain? Even if she isn’t, she must have left behind some method. I can’t act personally; I’ll have an outsider try.”

He vanished from Bihai Sect, heading to another Nascent Soul power.

A few days later.

Li Chang’an sensed something again.

“Someone else is going to attack me. It must be someone Mu Wei hired. I wonder how strong they are.”

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, took out numerous divination artifacts, and used his full divination skills. The resulting hexagram was neutral.

This meant that the attacker wasn’t very strong.

At most, they were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, posing no threat to him.

“The Azure Sea Sect only has one Nascent Soul cultivator, Azure Sea True Monarch. The person Mu Wei invited is a True Monarch from another Nascent Soul faction.”

“Mu Wei should be in that Nascent Soul faction right now.”

“So, the strongest cultivator in the Azure Sea Sect right now is only a Golden Core cultivator…”

Thinking of this ,

Li Chang’an immediately used a fourth-tier puppet, consuming a top-grade spirit stone, to teleport to the Azure Sea Sect via the teleportation array.

After some observation, he disguised himself as a Azure Sea Sect disciple, successfully entered the sect’s protective array, and easily captured the Golden Core peak cultivator who controlled the array.

Then, he began a frenzied plunder.

All the treasures in the Azure Sea Sect’s treasury were taken by him.

He didn’t even spare Azure Sea True Monarch’s private treasury left in the sect.

There were more than twenty top-grade spirit stones in the private treasury, and if you include the ones in the storage bag, he alone provided Li Chang’an with nearly seventy top-grade spirit stones!

“These returning Nascent Soul True Monarchs seem to be richer than the current Nascent Soul True Monarchs,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

Most Nascent Soul True Monarchs of this era, such as Zixia and Qinglong, couldn’t afford many top-grade spirit stones.

He had previously slaughtered countless demonic Nascent Soul cultivators in the Desolate Sand Clan’s small world, including even the mid-Nascent Soul demon Lian Gu, yet he only obtained a little over two hundred.

Now, thinking back,

he realized this situation wasn’t just due to the sealing of heaven and earth, but also because the nine great immortal sects and numerous affiliated forces had thoroughly plundered the entire cultivation world before going into seclusion.

Their predecessors had plundered so ruthlessly that later generations had almost no top-grade spirit stones available.

“Including these top-grade spirit stones, I’ve obtained over three hundred, which is quite wealthy for a Nascent Soul cultivator,”

Li Chang’an said, looking at the pile of top-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, a sense of satisfaction rising within him.

Besides these top-grade spirit stones ,

the most valuable items in the sect’s and private treasuries were a batch of fourth-tier treasures.

A few of these treasures could be directly exchanged for top-grade spirit stones, but almost all could only be exchanged for one or two.

Li Chang’an quickly inventoried the items, then went to the Spirit Herb Garden. With a wave of his hand, he swept away all the spiritual herbs in the garden, not even leaving the land behind.

After that,

he went to the library to take a look.

“The entire Azure Sea Sect has no perfect cultivation techniques, only two water-based cultivation techniques that have reached the ‘True Heaven Grade’ level, and two water-based spells that have also reached the ‘True Heaven Grade’ level. They are not very useful to me and can only become part of the foundation of Evergreen Mountain.”

“Besides, they are all pseudo-Heaven Grade or lower grade techniques.”

“The fourth-tier techniques are not bad. There are three fourth-tier inheritances that I don’t have: low-grade fourth-tier Gu worms, spiritual medicine, and spiritual plants…”

Li Chang’an held the Gu worm inheritance in his hand, glanced at it briefly, and found that his cultivation of the Myriad Poison Gu was not too biased.

Not long after, with a wave of his hand, he collected all the books and inheritances.

After doing all this,

he dismantled the sect’s protective formation, took away all the treasures used to set up the formation, and quickly left the Azure Sea Sect.

…

At the same time.

Evergreen Mountain.

Li Chang’an’s main body suddenly sensed a Nascent Soul aura approaching.

“They arrived quickly, it seems they used a teleportation array as well.”

He stood with his hands behind his back, carefully sensing the surroundings.

The newcomer was stronger than Han Hai Zhenjun, but his cultivation level was not yet at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, making him a veteran early-Nascent Soul cultivator.

“So it’s Jiu Xiao Zhenjun from the Jiu Xiao Sect.”

Through this aura, Li Chang’an confirmed the newcomer’s identity.

The Jiu Xiao Sect, in terms of overall strength, was comparable to the Bi Hai Sect, and was also an affiliated force of the Wan Zhen Sect. The sect only had one

Nascent Soul cultivator, Jiu Xiao Zhenjun. This sect had also sent people to Changqing Mountain many times, with a rather aggressive attitude, wanting to buy the entire Changqing Mountain spiritual vein.

Not long after,

Jiu Xiao Zhenjun’s figure appeared in the night.

His aura was powerful, and his Nascent Soul magic power surged forth. He coldly shouted, “Li Chang’an, I am Jiu Xiao, and I have come here today to…”

“Come down and speak.”

Li Chang’an interrupted him calmly.

The next instant,

terrifying array power descended from the sky, heavily slamming into Jiu Xiao Zhenjun.

Caught off guard, the Nine Heavens True Monarch’s treasures shattered, and he was slammed into the ground.

Horrified, he hadn’t even had time to rise when a sword array struck.

“Boom!”

The Nine Heavens True Monarch exploded on the spot.

Had Li Chang’an not held back, his nascent soul would have been annihilated in the sword light.

Li Chang’an then seized his nascent soul and, after a brief interrogation, learned that he had indeed been invited by Mu Wei.

“Nine Heavens has also lost. Who will Mu Wei invite next?”

Li Chang’an predicted.

The next one to come to Changqing Mountain should have a cultivation level of mid-Nascent Soul.

“A mid-Nascent Soul cultivator should have more top-grade spirit stones in their storage bag.”

Li Chang’an wasn’t worried; instead, he was somewhat expectant.

He briefly looked at the Nine Heavens True Monarch’s storage bag; it contained over fifty top-grade spirit stones.

A few days later.

Just as Li Chang’an had predicted.

A mid-Nascent Soul cultivator dominated Changqing Mountain.

This man, whose Daoist name was “Blood Flame,” was a Supreme Elder of the Blood Flame Sect, a Nascent Soul sect. His strength surpassed Cang Hong’s, but he was no match for Hei Sha, Yu Hu, and others, and was easily defeated by Li Chang’an.

Inside his storage bag, Li Chang’an found over two hundred top-grade spirit stones.

“Fellow Daoist Blood Flame is truly generous, carrying so many top-grade spirit stones,”

Li Chang’an said with a smile, in a good mood.

After suppressing True Monarch Blood Flame,

he spent one top-grade spirit stone, used a teleportation array, and rushed to the Nine Heavens Gate overnight, plundering all the treasures of the entire Nine Heavens Gate.

This plunder yielded him over forty top-grade spirit stones.

Thus,

the total number of top-grade spirit stones he possessed exceeded six hundred!

All of this was thanks to Mu Wei’s targeting.

“It seems I should thank him.”

Li Chang’an returned to Changqing Mountain with a smile on his face.

He didn’t raid the Blood Flame Sect, because there was still a Nascent Soul cultivator inside.

Furthermore, his divination results weren’t good; the hexagram carried a sense of danger.

“It seems Mu Wei is still waiting at the Blood Flame Sect. I’ll let them go for now.”

Li Chang’an didn’t take the risk.

He had already gained enough recently; there was no need to confront Mu Wei, the son of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, for the Blood Flame Sect’s treasures.

During his raid on the Nine Heavens Sect, he obtained not only top-grade spirit stones but also a large number of treasures of varying grades.

He needed to carefully inventory them.

In addition,

there was a skill that interested him: a

low-grade fourth-tier Feng Shui technique!

Li Chang’an wasn’t originally interested in Feng Shui because its cultivation method was quite unique, requiring frequent travel to famous mountains and rivers, which didn’t align with his cultivation philosophy.

He preferred skills like drawing talismans and refining pills, which allowed him to earn spirit stones from home.

However,

during the last righteous-demonic war…

The scene of numerous Feng Shui masters and Spirit Vein Masters battling Nascent Soul True Monarchs using the power of the earth’s veins piqued Li Chang’an’s interest in this skill.

“This skill can genuinely enhance one’s strength,”

Li Chang’an pondered.

His current strength primarily stemmed from three aspects: the power of faith, the Xuan Shui Turtle’s borrowed power, and his own cultivation.

If he could utilize the power of the earth’s veins, his strength would reach another level.

In any case, this skill was worth learning.

More skills are never a bad thing!

“I have the technique of creating clones; I can stay on Changqing Mountain and send my clones to cultivate in famous mountains and rivers across the land.”

“However, I’ve never practiced Feng Shui before, and my foundation in this area is almost nonexistent. If I want to cultivate to the fourth level, it will likely take a considerable amount of time. This matter cannot be rushed…”

Li Chang’an temporarily put down the inheritance jade slip and began to inventory other treasures.

…

Meanwhile.

Blood Flame Sect, in a secret chamber.

Mu Wei frowned, staring at a dim soul lamp.

“Even Blood Flame failed?”

He glanced in the direction of Changqing Mountain, somewhat incredulous.

Yao Lanqin herself was only a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, her cultivation level inferior to that of True Monarch Bloodflame, though her cultivation techniques and spells were likely of a higher grade.

Even so, without using her trump cards, it would be difficult for her to defeat True Monarch Bloodflame.

The gap between minor realms in the Nascent Soul stage is enormous; fighting beyond one’s level is already difficult enough, let alone defeating an enemy of a higher level.

“Could it be that she used her life-saving trump card for Li Chang’an, a Golden Core cultivator?”

“No, perhaps it’s because I’ve repeatedly asked others to help, making her wary, and she can also ask others.”

Mu Wei shook his head slightly, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

“Never mind, I’ll have to ask others to try again. This time, I’ll have my puppet go with me to take a look.”

He flickered and left the Bloodflame Sect.

The next day.

True Monarch Hanhai invited Nascent Soul cultivators from all sides to a meeting to continue discussing the division of their jurisdictional territories.

Everyone arrived one after another.

Soon, they were surprised to find that Bihai, Jiuxiao, and Bloodflame were nowhere to be seen.

In the past, the three of them would always come to the discussions.

“Fellow Daoist Bihai, the meeting is about to begin, where are you?”

“Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao…”

They all used their communication treasures to inquire of the three, but received no response.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, almost simultaneously realizing that something

had happened to these three! They

then

suspended their meeting and rushed to the Bihai Sect.

Upon arriving at the sect’s gate, they immediately sensed something amiss.

“Why doesn’t the Bihai Sect’s protective formation pose any threat to me?”

“Something’s wrong, the Bihai Sect’s protective formation seems to be gone.”

“Could it be that it was hidden too well?”

“…”

After some probing,

they finally confirmed that the Bihai Sect’s protective formation was indeed gone!

Furthermore, the entire sect, from Golden Core cultivators to ordinary servants, was afflicted with spiritual poison and had fallen into a deep sleep, their awakening unknown.

The sect’s treasury, herb garden, and library had all been looted!

“How could this happen?”

“Fellow Daoist Bihai’s soul lamp has disappeared; I fear his fate is grim.”

They were all deeply alarmed.

The overall strength of most of the Nascent Soul cultivators present was roughly equivalent to that of the Azure Sea Sect.

In other words,

if the mastermind behind the scenes were to attack them, their fate would be no better.

They immediately rushed to the Nine Heavens Gate and witnessed the exact same scene.

Only the Blood Flame Sect remained intact.

However, True Monarch Blood Flame’s soul lamp was dim, most likely indicating that he too had been harmed.

“Three fellow Daoists have been attacked at the same time. Who could be behind this?”

“All three of them seem to have designs on Changqing Mountain, and Fellow Daoist Azure Sea even seems intent on taking action. Could it be Li Chang’an? But he’s only a Golden Core cultivator…”

Everyone was somewhat worried and anxious, fearing that they too might be targeted by the mastermind.

At this moment, True Monarch Vast Ocean spoke up.

“Everyone, Li Chang’an is on good terms with Yao Lanqin, the prodigy of the Myriad Array Sect. If you intend to attack Changqing Mountain, you’d better consider whether you can withstand Yao Lanqin’s wrath.”

“What?”

The Nascent Soul cultivators present were all shocked.

They knew that Li Chang’an had extensive connections, but they didn’t know just how extensive.

They never imagined that he could even be connected with a disciple of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch!

“If it really is Yao Lanqin, then this matter can be explained. She most likely possesses a trump card bestowed upon her by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.”

Thinking of this, many felt a lingering fear.

They had considered taking action secretly, but hesitated to make a decision.

After this incident, none of them dared to harbor any further thoughts about Changqing Mountain.

And that was why…

In the days that followed, Mu Wei failed to persuade anyone.

No matter how good the conditions he offered, no one was willing to help.

Finally,

he had to approach Tong Hu.

“Fellow Daoist Tong, fifty top-grade spirit stones for one Li Chang’an, what do you say?”

His tone was full of sincerity, offering an extremely high price.

But Tong Hu simply shook his head, looking troubled.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, this matter is a bit troublesome.”

He didn’t refuse, his meaning was clear:

more money!

…

At this moment.

Changqing Mountain.

Li Chang’an had finished taking stock of all his gains.

He lay quietly in the medicinal bath, enduring the stinging pain all over his body, practicing his divination power.

Suddenly, he sensed something again, as if someone was secretly targeting him.

“Who is it this time?”

Li Chang’an sat up, took out his divination treasure, and was about to make a prediction.

Just then, midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Ominous]

[You were attacked by Tong Hu. He used his trump card, which you couldn’t defend against. You had to use the Rift Talisman to escape.]

“Tong Hu?”

Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be him.

As a disciple of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, this person must possess a trump card bestowed by a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

In a direct confrontation,

Li Chang’an would naturally be no match.

“It seems Mu Wei offered Tong Hu a price he couldn’t refuse, making him willing to violate the sect’s rules. I can hardly resolve this matter myself; I’ll have to rely on Yao Lanqin.”

Thinking of this,

Li Chang’an immediately used his communication artifact to contact her, but received no response.

He then contacted Ning Cailian.

“Fellow Daoist Ning, is Senior Yao here?”

“Senior Yao is in seclusion. I don’t know when she will emerge.”

Upon learning this, Li Chang’an frowned slightly, pondering for a moment.

If he couldn’t summon Yao Lanqin, this matter would be troublesome.

He calculated with his fingers and obtained an ominous divination as well. It seemed there was no good solution; he could only leave Changqing Mountain to hide.

“Tong Hu is a Nascent Soul disciple; none of the others can handle him, unless…”

At this moment, Li Chang’an suddenly thought of Luo Yu.

This Heavenly Lord was Tong Hu’s master and Luo Kun’s younger brother.

If he could be invited, this matter would naturally be resolved.

With this in mind,

Li Chang’an immediately performed a divination and found that the hexagram had changed from inauspicious to auspicious.

“This is feasible!”
