Eternal Life by Daily Divination

When he heard the words “young friend,” Li Chang’an’s scalp went numb as a chill shot up his spine.

He could feel it distinctly.

Master Dancheng’s gaze had fallen upon him!

But this was a Memory Stone, and all the images were merely illusory shadows that had been recorded long ago.

The people within had most likely been dead for countless years.

’Why would Master Dancheng suddenly look at me?’

’I can’t stay here!’

Li Chang’an’s heart pounded in his chest, and he immediately tried to get up and leave.

But to his shock, he discovered he couldn’t move!

He took a deep breath.

He tried to calm himself down.

’Yesterday’s Divination was neutral, not an Evil Trigram. It means I shouldn’t face any major danger. Unless… unless Master Dancheng is just so powerful that his abilities are beyond what my Divination can foresee…’

At this thought, Li Chang’an calmed down considerably.

He trusted his Divination.

Ever since he began his Cultivation Immortality, his Divination had saved him countless times.

Li Chang’an composed himself, his breathing stabilizing. He looked toward Master Dancheng at the front, cupped his hands in a salute, and spoke with reverence.

“Junior Li Chang’an pays his respects to Senior!”

“Not bad. An excellent disposition.”

Master Dancheng nodded slightly, a flicker of admiration in his eyes at how quickly the young man had calmed himself.

“Young friend, do you have any questions for me?”

“Senior, this junior’s knowledge of the Alchemy Dao is still shallow. I do indeed have many questions…”

Li Chang’an answered earnestly, voicing the many questions that were on his mind.

He was currently only a Tier Two Alchemist.

Most of what Master Dancheng had been explaining earlier was beyond his comprehension, likely delving into Tier Four or even Tier Five concepts.

Since Master Dancheng had asked, he decided to seize the opportunity and ask everything he could.

After listening,

Master Dancheng smiled in praise.

“Your comprehension is also excellent. You’re a promising talent.”

His expression was kind and his voice was gentle as he slowly began to answer Li Chang’an’s questions.

Under his guidance,

Li Chang’an felt as if a veil had been lifted. He repeatedly entered a state of near-epiphany, and his Alchemy Skill grew by leaps and bounds, allowing him to completely break through the bottleneck of Tier Two Top Grade.

This was the first time he had ever achieved a breakthrough in his Skills without the aid of an inheritance!

About a quarter of an hour later,

Li Chang’an had just barely finished absorbing all that he had gained.

He understood in his heart.

Master Dancheng was on a much higher realm. From his lofty perspective, he had surely seen through to Li Chang’an’s current level in the Alchemy Dao, and all of his guidance had been perfectly tailored for him.

“Senior, for the grace you have shown in teaching me the Dao, this junior will be eternally grateful!”

Li Chang’an was filled with gratitude and thanked him sincerely.

Master Dancheng smiled. “Young friend, the path of Alchemy is like Water dripping through stone—success is not achieved in a day. You must not grow complacent in the future. Learning has no limits, and the Dao is without end.”

“Thank you for your teachings, Senior!”

Li Chang’an’s tone was sincere as he thanked him once more.

“Senior, this junior wishes to walk further down the path of the Alchemy Dao, but I am hindered by my lack of an inheritance or a master.”

“You’re a clever one, little fellow. But you and I are too far apart. I cannot give you an inheritance.”

Master Dancheng’s smile was warm; he understood what Li Chang’an was implying.

By saying this, Li Chang’an was naturally hoping for a High-Tier inheritance.

This senior’s mastery of the Alchemy Dao was far beyond his own; even a tiny fraction of his inheritance would be of immense benefit to him.

Furthermore, he also wanted to ask him to be his master.

If he could take this senior as his master, he could do as he pleased in the Cultivation Immortality Realm from then on!

Li Chang’an didn’t know Master Dancheng’s exact realm, but he was certain it was far beyond Golden Core.

However,

Master Dancheng did not give him an inheritance, nor did he show any intention of taking him as a disciple.

Li Chang’an mulled over the three words “too far apart.”

Clearly, the Master Dancheng before him was not his true self.

“May I ask where Senior resides? This junior is devoted to the Alchemy Dao and wishes to follow you.”

“There is no need. If you and I are fated to meet, we will naturally see each other again in the future.”

Master Dancheng’s tone was gentle as he rejected Li Chang’an’s request to follow him.

With that, he lightly pointed a finger.

A streak of Spiritual Light shot out and entered the space between Li Chang’an’s eyebrows.

In an instant, a map appeared in Li Chang’an’s mind.

Master Dancheng said to him, “In the space you currently inhabit, there is an Alchemy inheritance left behind by an unworthy disciple of mine. His talent was too poor, his disposition was lacking, and he was thoroughly unruly. His Alchemy Skill stagnated at Tier Three Middle Grade. The inheritance he left behind should be of some use to you. Go and find it yourself.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was overjoyed, but also a little stunned.

’A dignified Tier Three Alchemist was considered to have terrible talent?’

One must understand that in the Southern Domain of Zhao Country, a Tier Three Alchemist represented the very pinnacle of the Alchemy Dao!

’Just how profound are Senior Master Dancheng’s attainments in the Alchemy Dao?’

Li Chang’an couldn’t stop pondering this question.

At that moment, Master Dancheng smiled. “Alright, my time is short. I will share a few more insights on the Alchemy Dao with you. Listen carefully.”

Li Chang’an’s expression turned solemn. He sat up straight and listened with rapt attention.

Without realizing it, he became completely engrossed, gradually losing all sense of self and the world around him, forgetting the passage of time…

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

When he came to his senses,

Master Dancheng had already vanished.

Feeling a sense of loss, Li Chang’an stood up and bowed deeply toward the spot where Master Dancheng had been sitting.

“Thank you for imparting the Dao, Senior!”

Then, he stepped out of the Memory Stone.

Xiao Wantang was still waiting for him outside.

Seeing him finally emerge, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

“Daoist Li, you were inside that Memory Stone for a full half-month! You’re finally out!”

“Half a month?”

Li Chang’an was astonished.

To his senses, only a few hours had passed at most.

Indeed, time has no meaning during cultivation.

He turned and entered the Memory Stone once more.

This time, the scene within the Memory Stone showed no abnormalities; it was identical to what he had seen in his dream of a past life in ancient times.

After finishing his Alchemy, Master Dancheng answered questions for his numerous disciples.

After that,

Li Chang’an entered the Memory Stone repeatedly after that, but the scene within remained unchanged.
