Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an pondered.

After so many years of cultivation, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu had already advanced to the Tier Two Middle Stage.

But this little insect was no match for the Five Poison Wanderer. At best, it could handle the Five Poison Wanderer’s disciples.

The Five Poison Wanderer’s many disciples all faintly exuded a Foundation Establishment aura.

However, only the first and second disciples were true Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The other disciples had a Foundation Establishment aura because they had temporarily merged with Tier Two Poisonous Insects, granting them power close to the Foundation Establishment realm—a state of Fake Foundation Establishment.

’The Poisonous Insects on these people are great nourishment for my Ten Thousand Poison Gu. If I get the chance in the future, I’ll have to find a way to get a few more.’

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

In any case, his identity as Li Fan was already hostile to the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage. He didn’t mind making that animosity even deeper.

The banquet soon began.

During the feast, the Five Poison Wanderer made a public announcement.

Whoever could bring Li Fan to him would earn a favor from the Five Poison Lineage.

Hearing this, everyone had their own thoughts and ideas, but they all committed the name Li Fan to memory.

…

「That evening.」

Li Chang’an left the Black Market.

After a day of observation, he had a general understanding of the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage’s strength.

Overall, aside from the Five Poison Wanderer himself, none of the others were a match for him.

He returned to Changqing Mountain and resumed his normal life of cultivation.

However, in the years that followed, he began to pay attention to the movements of the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage.

「One year later.」

Li Chang’an found an opportunity.

He struck from the shadows, killing one of the Five Poison Wanderer’s Fake Foundation Establishment disciples and obtaining a large number of Poison Dao Treasures and a Tier Two Poisonous Insect.

The Ten Thousand Poison Gu crawled out of his sleeve, conveying its eagerness.

“You’re in for a treat, little guy.”

Li Chang’an smiled and fed the Poisonous Insect and the various Treasures to it.

“Eat up. Grow quickly and break through to the Tier Two Late Stage soon.”

After absorbing the Poisonous Insect and the numerous Treasures, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu’s aura strengthened considerably, but it was still a long way from the Tier Two Late Stage.

Not long after, the Five Poison Lineage noticed the disciple’s death.

But they merely assumed it was an accident. After all, in these chaotic times, anyone could die.

However…

「Just half a year later.」

Another disciple was dead!

The Five Poison Wanderer was furious, having already guessed that Li Fan was operating from the shadows.

“Li Fan, you have some nerve!”

A few days later, he directly issued a bounty to all the Righteous Cultivators and Tribulation Cultivator factions in Zhao Country, offering numerous Treasures for Li Fan’s head.

And just like that, the name Li Fan quickly spread throughout the Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm.

Many Foundation Establishment Powerhouses came from all over to claim his head.

But for more than a year after that, Li Chang’an didn’t make another move, vanishing as if into thin air.

He remained comfortably on Changqing Mountain, cultivating, and paid no mind to the events of the outside world.

’They’re looking for Li Fan. What has that got to do with me, Li Chang’an?’

This identity of his, that of a Righteous Cultivator with a clean background, had no connection to Tribulation Cultivators.

On a typical day, he was either cultivating or out slaying Demons.

If he obtained a Demon Core suitable for Alchemy, he would refine a Foundation Establishment Pill and trade it for resources to nurture his Spirit Vine.

…

「Time flew by, and more than a year passed.」

The Cultivation Realm remained turbulent.

「On this day.」

「Evening.」

Li Chang’an was tempering his physical body.

When Midnight arrived, a golden light appeared as usual.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[You go out to slay a Demon and unexpectedly encounter the heavily injured Mo Xi and Mu Caiwei. You rescue them, slay the Demon Beast chasing them, and discover an Earth Grade Escape Technique, the Five Elements Spiritual Light Escape, in the Demon Beast’s stomach.]

’An Earth Grade Escape Technique?’

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred, and his eyes lit up.

’My Little Five Elements Escape Technique can finally be replaced!’

He had spent a great deal of effort searching for a better Escape Technique over the years but had never found one.

’I really have to rely on the Divination.’

Li Chang’an mused.

…

「The next day.」

Chen Qianya sent a message.

A nearby Sect called the Red Refining Sect was asking for help.

The aura of a Tier Two Great Demon had appeared near their Sect, and they suspected one was hiding nearby.

’The Red Refining Sect?’

A map of the region appeared in Li Chang’an’s mind.

The Red Refining Sect wasn’t too far from Cui Ping Mountain, and the strongest expert in their Sect was only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

’The Demon slaying mentioned in the Divination must be related to this.’

He told Jiang Muyu to watch over the house, then set out to slay the Demon.

In just a few moments, Li Chang’an arrived at the Mountain Gate of the Red Refining Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Sect hurried to greet him and pointed out the location.

“Senior, this is where I discovered the aura of the Tier Two Great Demon.”

His expression was respectful as he pointed to a large lake ahead.

The lake water was sapphire blue, with gentle ripples on its surface.

“There is indeed a Great Demon here.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly, sensing the aura of a Tier Two Early Stage Water Demon.

He immediately used his Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of light and plunging into the depths of the lake.

A dozen or so breaths later, Li Chang’an returned to the surface, the corpse of a Great Demon already in his hand.

The Sect Leader of the Red Refining Sect watched, inwardly shocked.

He had expected a world-shaking battle, but this Great Demon had died so silently and without a trace of a struggle.

“You’ve done well to discover this Demon. You can have this piece of its flesh.”

With a casual slash, Li Chang’an cut off a large piece of Tier Two Flesh and Blood and tossed it to the man.

The Red Refining Sect Leader hurriedly caught the flesh and blood, thanking him profusely.

When he wanted to invite Li Chang’an to be a guest at his Sect, Li Chang’an was already gone.

He couldn’t help but feel it was a pity.

’This Senior is named Li Chang’an. His name is the same as the sworn brother my old friend often mentions. I wonder if they’re the same person…’

He scratched his head and returned to his Sect.

…

「At this moment.」
