Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Chapter 231: Chapter 182: Reactions of All Parties, Targeting the Golden Core

According to the records of the Cyan Cloud Sect, Foundation Establishment Cultivators who practice Celestial Grade Techniques accumulate more than three hundred and forty drops of Liquid Magical Power in their Dantian when they reach the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Earth Grade Techniques are slightly weaker, but the accumulated Magical Power will still exceed three hundred drops!

Top Grade Techniques are weaker still; upon reaching the peak, one can accumulate over two hundred and sixty drops of Liquid Magical Power.

In short, among Cultivators of the same realm, a better Cultivation Technique meant more Liquid Magical Power and greater strength.

Therefore, among Foundation Establishment Cultivators, some might appear to be at the same realm, but their actual strength could be worlds apart.

Occasionally, there were even cases where a Cultivator of a lower realm defeated one of a higher realm.

Su Yuyan stated that she practiced an Earth Grade Technique.

Techniques of this Tier were rare, even within the Cyan Cloud Sect.

As for Celestial Grade Techniques, it seemed the Cyan Cloud Sect didn’t have any. Or perhaps they did, but her current realm was too low for her to access such secrets.

“Brother Li, if I cultivate my technique to the Foundation Establishment Peak, I can probably accumulate around three hundred and twenty drops of Magical Power. Such an accumulation is already considered quite profound, and my Magical Power won’t hold me back when I try to break through to the Golden Core.”

“You can try to sense the limit of your own Cultivation Technique now.”

As she spoke, Su Yuyan taught him a Minor Magic.

Casting this Magic allowed one to perceive the limits of their own Cultivation Technique within the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After Li Chang’an learned it, he carefully sensed his own limits.

A moment later, realization struck him.

’If I cultivate the Ancient Wood Health Cultivation Technique to the Foundation Establishment Peak, the Liquid Magical Power I accumulate will be around two hundred and ninety-five drops. That’s already very close to the lower limit of an Earth Grade Technique.’

But Li Chang’an was still not quite satisfied.

This made him look forward to the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique even more.

“Qingqing, what Tier is the Cultivation Technique you practice?”

“Chang’an, my technique is just an ordinary Top Grade Technique.”

Zheng Qingqing didn’t hide anything and told him directly.

The limit of Liquid Magical Power she could accumulate with her technique was two hundred and eighty drops.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had better Fire Element Techniques, but her current contribution wasn’t enough to exchange for one. For now, she could only continue practicing her original technique.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were like her, practicing Top Grade Techniques.

Even most Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the sects couldn’t obtain an Earth Grade Technique without sufficient contributions.

The Earth Grade Technique Su Yuyan practiced had been exchanged for her by her master, who had spent a massive amount of his own contribution points.

“I’ve heard that with the most Perfect Technique, one can accumulate three hundred and sixty-five drops of Magical Power upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Peak. This number corresponds to the celestial cycle and is said to be of some help when breaking through to the Golden Core.”

“However, such a technique only exists in legends. No one has ever seen one.”

Her face flushed as she recounted the rumors she had heard in the Cyan Cloud Sect.

These legends, naturally, all came from Secret Realms.

Such records were found on fragmented ancient texts excavated from these Secret Realms.

During the Ancient Times, each of the Nine Great Sects that ruled the Cultivation Immortality Realm possessed such a Perfect Technique.

Unfortunately, all of it vanished with the passing of the Ancient Times.

All in all, the Ancient Wood Health Cultivation Technique Li Chang’an was currently practicing was quite good.

When fighting Cultivators of the same tier, he generally wouldn’t be held back by his Magical Power, unless he was fighting against a Celestial Pride from a Major Sect or a Great Noble Family.

As for those kinds of Celestial Prides, Li Chang’an had always stayed as far away as possible, rarely provoking them.

His current priority was to find a better Spiritual Land to cultivate in.

’Foundation Establishment Cultivators should ideally cultivate on a Tier Two Spirit Vein,’ Li Chang’an mused.

The Spiritual Qi Concentration of his current residence was only Tier One Top Grade.

It was fine for a Qi Refining Cultivator, but it wasn’t enough for a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Su Yuyan lived across from him, and her residence also had a Tier One Top Grade Spiritual Qi Concentration. The only reason her cultivation speed hadn’t slowed was purely due to her use of numerous Treasures and a Tier Two Spirit Gathering Array.

Thinking of this, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh. “Yuyan, it’s been hard on you.”

“It’s nothing. All that matters is that you’re safe, Brother Li.”

Su Yuyan gave a small, sweet smile.

It was indeed rather stifling for a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator to cultivate in a place like this, but she hadn’t complained in the slightest. After all, she had come here of her own volition.

Now that Li Chang’an had succeeded in Foundation Establishment, he no longer needed her protection.

“Brother Li, are you planning to rent a residence with Tier Two Spiritual Qi?”

“Let me think…”

Li Chang’an put down his wine cup and pondered for a moment.

「A moment later.」

He shook his head slightly.

“The Spirit Vein in Yellow Crane Immortal City is good, but it ultimately belongs to the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage. I’ve had conflicts with a few of their Foundation Establishment Cultivators, so it’s not convenient for me to stay here any longer.”

“Then come to the Cyan Cloud Sect!”

Su Yuyan said with a smile, her voice clear and sweet.

“Brother Li, your Talisman Art should have broken through to Tier Two, right?”

“Yes.”

“That makes things easy!”

Foundation Establishment Cultivation, plus a Tier Two Skill.

That’s enough to secure a position as an Honored Guest Elder in the Cyan Cloud Sect.

It wasn’t just the Cyan Cloud Sect, either. The other two major sects and the Seven Great Noble Families would all welcome such a talent.

After all, Li Chang’an was a Righteous Cultivator with a clean background. He had never done anything out of line, spending most of his time cultivating honestly. His reputation and relationships were both good.

As long as he was willing to become an Honored Guest Elder of the Cyan Cloud Sect, he wouldn’t face any obstacles.

He would pass the Cyan Cloud Sect’s review process quickly.

“Brother Li, those Elders who rejected you before the Immortal Sect’s gates are still alive. I wonder how surprised they’ll be when you return, having successfully reached Foundation Establishment!”

Su Yuyan said with a laugh.

Back then, all who were turned away at the gates were those deemed to have no potential for Foundation Establishment.

But now, Li Chang’an had become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Meanwhile, of those who had successfully entered the Immortal Sect, nearly half had already passed away, and many of the rest were still lingering in the Qi Refining Stage.
