Eternal Life by Daily Divination

“Who is it?”

“Mu, it’s me.”

Li Chang’an appeared slowly, his expression indifferent.

Seeing that it was him, Mu Caiwei froze for a moment. A trace of pleasant surprise, mixed with more complicated emotions, surfaced in her heart.

Mu Hua’s expression, however, changed drastically. He frantically activated the Tier Two Poisonous Insect within his body, unleashing the power of a Fake Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Die!”

He shot to his feet, even burning his own life force in that instant, all for the sake of a single killing blow.

However, against Li Chang’an, his meager power was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

BANG!

Li Chang’an casually slapped out with his palm, sending Mu Hua flying backward, spitting blood.

The gap in their strength was so vast it left Mu Hua in disbelief.

Panicked, he no longer dared to attack Li Chang’an. He immediately transformed into a streak of Spiritual Light, intending to flee the residence.

But in the next instant, he slammed into an invisible wall.

BOOM!

Mu Hua’s entire body shuddered violently as he was thrown back into the courtyard, where he coughed up several more mouthfuls of dark green, venomous blood.

Back when Mu Caiwei had been sampling the poisoned Spiritual Cuisine, Li Chang’an had secretly set up a Tier Two Top Grade Array encompassing the entire residence.

His actions had been so covert that not even Mu Caiwei had noticed.

Now, within this Grand Array, Mu Hua had nowhere to run!

“Elder Li, spare my life!”

With a look of agony, he fell to his knees and began crawling toward Li Chang’an.

“Elder Li, I never truly wanted to harm my sister! I was forced! That old monster, the Five Poison Wanderer, planted a Poisonous Insect inside my body. If I don’t obey him, he tortures me!”

His mouth was full of blood and his voice was wretched, as if everything he had done was against his will.

Hearing this, a flicker of light returned to Mu Caiwei’s dim eyes.

She said weakly, “Ah Hua, it’s okay. It’s not too late to turn back. As long as you explain everything clearly, we’ll definitely find a way to help… That Poisonous Insect, I’ll find someone to remove it for you.”

“Daoist Mu, you actually believe the words of a Poison Cultivator?”

Li Chang’an glanced at her, rendered somewhat speechless.

Even at this stage, Mu Caiwei still believed her brother.

“Daoist Li, I believe Ah Hua must have his reasons.”

“Yes, yes, Elder Li, please believe me…”

Mu Hua’s voice was hoarse as he knelt and shuffled forward to Li Chang’an, begging for mercy as if he truly had been coerced.

But in the next instant, a dark light flashed in his hand, and a snake-shaped Spiritual Artifact appeared.

“Die!”

Mu Hua’s face twisted, his eyes filled with venom and ferocity, as he abruptly thrust the Spiritual Artifact toward Li Chang’an.

The distance between them was extremely short.

A normal Foundation Establishment cultivator might have truly been caught off guard by his sneak attack.

But in the blink of an eye, he watched in shock as Li Chang’an casually caught the deadly Spiritual Artifact in his hand, as if it were a child’s toy.

“With a temperament like yours, you might have actually carved out a path for yourself if you’d joined a Demon Sect.”

Li Chang’an struck out casually.

BANG!

Mu Hua was once again sent flying backward, spitting blood, his entire chest caved in.

“Hmm?”

Li Chang’an suddenly noticed that the impact of that palm strike felt a little off.

’Could it be you also practice Body Refinement?’

He beckoned with his hand, and Mu Hua’s body flew uncontrollably toward him, landing at his feet.

Immediately after, Li Chang’an unleashed a burst of Spiritual Power, shattering the Magic Robe on Mu Hua’s body.

What appeared before him was a bloody, collapsed chest cavity.

The sternum was shattered, and every rib was broken—a deeply unsettling sight.

However, amidst the bones and mangled flesh, there were strands of crimson Bloodline, squirming within Mu Hua’s body like long, blood-colored worms.

All the strands of Bloodline converged beneath his heart, forming something like a second heart that trembled slightly.

“A Bloodline?”

Li Chang’an frowned slightly.

Inside Mu Hua’s Dantian, there was also a ferocious-looking Tier Two Poisonous Insect.

The fact that this guy was both a Poison Cultivator and a Bloodline was quite surprising.

Confusion flashed in Mu Caiwei’s eyes. She asked, “What… What is that?”

“It should be a Bloodline.”

“A Bloodline? Could it be the Demon Planting Technique?”

Mu Caiwei’s lips parted slightly, her heart trembling in disbelief.

The Demon Planting Technique had vanished for ten thousand years!

How could her brother have become a Bloodline?

“Ah Hua, what happened? Who planted this Bloodline in you?” she asked anxiously.

His face contorted in agony, Mu Hua said, trembling, “Sister, save me! I don’t want to die!”

“Ah Hua, hurry up and tell me!”

“Sister, it… it was Huang…”

Mu Hua’s voice was raspy, as if he was about to say a name.

But before he could finish, the Bloodline inside his body exploded with a BANG, causing his entire person to detonate into a pile of shredded flesh!

He died instantly!

Mu Caiwei stared blankly at the pile of gore, completely frozen.

“Daoist Mu, my condolences,” Li Chang’an said casually.

His gaze was profound as he turned to look toward Yellow Crane Mountain.

At that moment, on the mountainside of Yellow Crane Mountain, Murong Kang’s face was ashen. He stared at Mu Caiwei’s residence, his eyes filled with rage.

’Li Chang’an, you actually forced my Bloodline to be exposed! You deserve to die! Since it has come to this, I’ll let you have a taste of what it’s like to be a Bloodline!’

He clenched his fists tightly, a trace of lingering fear mixed with his anger.

Fortunately, Mu Hua had been inside Yellow Crane Immortal City. Close enough to him.

The moment Mu Hua was gravely injured, he had sensed the Bloodline’s weakening and immediately made it self-destruct.

If he had died outside Yellow Crane Immortal City, like Huang Feng and Huang Liang, Murong Kang would never have had time to act.

…

「Meanwhile.」

Back in Mu Caiwei’s residence, Li Chang’an took Mu Hua’s Storage Pouch, retrieved several antidotes from within, and cured Mu Caiwei of the poison.

Additionally, he found a Tier Two Poisonous Insect amidst the pile of shredded flesh, placed it in his Storage Pouch, and planned to find an opportunity to feed it to his Ten Thousand Poison Gu.
