Daily Divination: From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 63

Chapter 63 A Rich Harvest

. Seeing his expression,

Li Changan curled his lips, perhaps guessing what he was thinking.

Sure enough,

Luo Kun laughed and said,

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is a rare opportunity. You’re of similar age, both mid-grade talisman masters. You must have plenty to talk about. Take advantage of the trade to chat more. Just don’t be so rigid!”

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

Li Changan, too lazy to engage in further discussion, brushed it off casually.

He didn’t immediately go to trade with Chen Qianya.   Instead,

he waited the entire night.   After all, the last trade nearly poisoned him.   He couldn’t be careless.   Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time.   [Hexagram Updated]   [Today’s Hexagram: Peaceful]   [Your trade with Chen Qianya went smoothly, without any incidents.]   Seeing this hexagram,   Li Changan felt slightly relieved.   …   The next day, early in the morning,   Li Changan left and went to visit Chen Qianya.   Their houses were actually not far from each other.   They arrived shortly.   ”Is Fellow Daoist Chen here? I’m Li Chang’an, and I have something to discuss with you.”   Li Chang’an stood outside the door, waiting quietly.   A moment later,   the courtyard gate opened.   Chen Qianya appeared behind it.   She was still as delicate as last time, with delicate features, skin as white as cream, and dressed in an indigo dress.   However,   she seemed a little tired, and a hint of irritation lurked deep in her eyes.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, what can I do for you?”   Chen Qianya’s tone was cold, exuding an aloofness that kept people at a distance.   Li Chang’an bowed and said, “I would like to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Chen.”   ”It seems that old man Luo Kun didn’t lie to me.”   Chen Qianya had already learned about the deal from Luo Kun.   A flash of light flashed in her hand, and she pulled out several treasures from her storage bag.   All of them were what Li Chang’an needed.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, are you ready for the water-based treasures I need?”   ”Everything is ready,”   Li Chang’an said with a smile, taking out the exchanged treasures.   This transaction,   as the hexagram indicated, went smoothly.   Both parties got what they wanted.   After the transaction,   Li Changan took the opportunity to hand over a list of materials, including some of the treasures he would need for the subsequent stages of body refinement.   ”Fellow Daoist Chen, do you have any of these treasures?”   Chen Qianya frowned slightly. She was about to close the door,   but Li Changan continued the conversation.   ”Let me see…”   She took the list and scanned it with her beautiful eyes.   ”I do have the ‘Boiling Blood Crystal’ here, but I need the ‘Weak Water Spirit Sand’. Does Fellow Daoist Li have any?”   ”This… I’m so sorry…”   Li Changan shook his head slightly.   Weak Water Spirit Sand is a very precious water-based treasure.   He certainly didn’t have any.   ”Fellow Daoist Chen, do you need anything else?”   Li Changan didn’t give up, trying to trade for the Boiling Blood Crystal.   He said sincerely, “I see that Fellow Daoist Chen seems a little upset. I have a treasure to calm your mind.”   ”No need, I just want the Weak Water Spirit Sand!”   Chen Qianya’s tone was a little impatient, but she didn’t rush him out.   Her irritation   was simply due to the failure of her breakthrough.   From yesterday until today, she had been trying to draw a fine, mid-grade talisman, but she hadn’t succeeded once, always falling short.   Logically,   a discussion with Li Changan, a fellow practitioner, might inspire some insight.   However, Chen Qianya felt that Li Changan had only recently become a mid-grade talisman master and was still far from achieving the mastery of this caliber.   Talking to him would be pointless and a sheer waste of time.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll go back and rest.”   ”I apologize for bothering you today, Fellow Daoist Chen.”   Li Changan heard the impatience in her voice.   Self-aware, he said nothing more and immediately bowed and took his leave.   …   Two months later.

Li Chang’an’s cultivation was steady.

His mana steadily increased, and his physique grew stronger day by day.

Surprisingly

, during this time,

neither Zheng Lingfeng nor the Black Wind Mountain cultivators bothered him again.

“It’s quite peaceful,”

Li Chang’an relished such days.

A few days later,

Luo Kun arrived.

He told Li Chang’an about a small trade fair for artisans.

“Fellow Daoist Li, there should be many treasures you need at the fair.”

“I see. Thank you, Senior Luo, for the information.”

Soon,

the small fair began.

These kinds of trade fairs were quite informal.

Many cultivators simply found a corner to sit down, laying out their unused treasures for the others to choose from.

Others chatted, discussing their needs.

Li Chang’an arrived on time and, as expected, found quite a few treasures needed for physical cultivation.

“This is the Thousand-Spirited Flower, needed for the fourth stage of physical cultivation, and the White Spirit Fruit, needed for the fifth stage. They’re both very rare. I didn’t expect to find them here.”

In less than half an hour, Li Chang’an had acquired over ten treasures.

It was a truly rewarding harvest.

Other cultivators also made a lot of gains.

Almost everyone had treasures they couldn’t use themselves but others could.

This is why

small trade fairs like this exist.

Suddenly,

Li Changan paused, his gaze fixed on a stall in the corner.

On that stall, a completely emerald blue stone

caught his attention .

“Jade Water Stone?”

This stone is a precious, first-grade, top-grade water-based treasure.

It’s very beneficial for the growth of the Black Water Turtle!

“Although the Black Water Turtle grows quickly, it still can’t meet my requirements,”

Li Changan pondered.

If the Black Water Turtle can break through to the late first stage, the effects of the Borrowing Magic Technique will be much stronger.

“How much is this Delicate Water Stone?”

Li Changan approached and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner glanced at him.

“Fellow Daoist, this stone is not for sale. I only accept barter.”

“What do you want?”

Li Changan asked again.

The stall owner replied, “I need soothing treasures, such as the ‘Qingxin Incense,’ the ‘Calming Talisman,’ and the ‘Calming Pill.’ Nothing else.”

Li Changan’s heart skipped a beat.

He happened to have the Calming Talisman.

After a brief conversation,

Li Changan learned

that the stall owner was a sixth-level Qi Refining expert.

He had failed three times to break through to the seventh level, each time suffering backlash and nearly dying. He developed a fear of breaking through, and therefore needed a soothing treasure.

“I see,”

Li Changan sighed. The path of cultivation was truly arduous.

Then,

he took out the Calming Talisman.

The stall owner was instantly thrilled and quickly signed a spiritual contract with him.

After the transaction,

Li Changan said goodbye and turned to search for other treasures.

At that moment,

Chen Qianya, dressed in an indigo dress, hurried over. Her beautiful eyes rested on Li Changan for a moment, then scanned the items on the stall, her brows furrowed.

“Fellow Daoist, where is your piece of Jade Water Stone?”

She discovered the Jade Water Stone earlier than Li Changan.

This kind of treasure is of great benefit to cultivators with water spiritual roots like her.

But what can she do?

Although she has the Ningxin Bamboo, her talisman-making skills are insufficient, and she can’t draw a fine mid-grade talisman like the Ningshen Talisman.

As a last resort, she had to ask her father Chen Yuanshan for a Ningshen Talisman, and then hurried over.

But in the end, she was a step too late.

The stall owner cupped his hands and looked apologetic.

“It’s really unfortunate that the Jade Water Stone has been exchanged by this fellow Daoist.”

“Li Changan?”

Chen Qianya noticed the Ningshen Talisman in the stall owner’s hand, and looked at Li Changan with her beautiful eyes.

She was surprised.

How could Li Changan have such a talisman?
