Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Feeling this new aura, everyone knew what it meant.

Li Chang’an had succeeded!

In that instant, a thousand different expressions crossed the faces of the onlookers.

A few hours ago, even after the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon had peacefully dissipated, many people still suspected Li Chang’an would fail.

They were unaware of Ye Hao’s Spiritual Root, and only knew that no Cultivator with a Low Grade Spirit Root had achieved Core Formation in a thousand years. They believed it would be difficult for Li Chang’an to break this thousand-year record.

But now, all their doubts vanished into thin air amidst this Golden Core aura.

"He actually did it!"

"The only Cultivator with a Lower Spirit Root to achieve Core Formation in a thousand years!"

At the foot of Changqing Mountain, countless people wore looks of shock.

Others burst into laughter, their voices filled with endless excitement.

"Hahaha, did you all see that? Even someone with a Lower Spirit Root can achieve Core Formation! There’s hope for all of us!"

"That’s right! Back in the day, the Changqing Ancestor was turned away by the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"If he can achieve Core Formation, then maybe we have a chance too!"

"..."

Countless Loose Cultivators were ecstatic.

It was as if they themselves had achieved Core Formation, not Li Chang’an.

They all stared at the entrance to his seclusion chamber, their eyes filled with excitement.

A short while later, Li Chang’an slowly walked out.

The brilliant golden light of the evening sun showered down, bathing him in a layer of golden radiance.

At this moment, his aura was powerful, his spirits high!

The Jin Family Ancestor, Jinbao, was the first to speak.

"Jinbao of the Jin Family congratulates Daoist Li on achieving Core Formation!"

Immediately after, representatives from the various powers began to speak up one by one.

"Mo Qingxue of the Mo Family congratulates Daoist Li on achieving Core Formation!"

"Xiao Yiyue of the Xiao Family..."

"..."

Almost every influential power in the entire Southern Domain was here, congratulating Li Chang’an on his Core Formation.

The chorus of congratulations was incessant, echoing through the heavens!

His situation was simply too unique.

He had not only achieved Core Formation with a Low Grade Spiritual Root, but had done so as a Loose Cultivator, with no powerful backer and no Tier Three Spirit Vein to support his cultivation.

This also meant he could be won over!

For this very reason, the congratulations from the various Golden Core Masters were almost all sincere.

Only a very few were insincere, such as Xiahou Hong and Nie Yu.

Finally, a voice that surprised everyone rang out from the Purple Flying Ship on the distant horizon.

"Zi Xi of the Purple Mist Sect congratulates Daoist Li on achieving Core Formation."

When this voice sounded, all of Changqing Mountain fell silent for a moment.

No one had ever expected that Zi Xi, the lofty Zi Xia Saintess, would actually speak up to congratulate a mere Loose Cultivator like Li Chang’an.

Could it be that the Purple Mist Sect had also taken an interest in Li Chang’an?

Little did they know, this congratulation had nothing to do with the Purple Mist Sect; it was the Zi Xi Saintess’s own decision.

Right now, she too was somewhat surprised.

Back in the Ancient Sect Ruins, she had invited Li Chang’an to become a Guest Elder of the Sect under her, but he had refused.

At the time, she had said that if Li Chang’an became an Honored Guest Elder, he would have a sliver of hope of achieving Core Formation.

But if he holed himself up on Changqing Mountain for his entire life, he was destined never to step onto the Golden Core Dao.

For this very reason, when she learned someone on Changqing Mountain was undergoing Core Formation, she had piloted her Flying Ship to come see.

Now, right before her eyes, Li Chang’an had successfully achieved Core Formation, ascending to the same Major Realm as her and surpassing her past judgment.

’I can’t believe I misjudged someone.’

Zi Xi, her face veiled and her eyes clear, watched Li Chang’an, a sense of surprise rising in her heart.

She spoke again. "Daoist Li, what is the quality of your Golden Core?"

Hearing this, the gazes of everyone present focused squarely on Li Chang’an.

This was a question they were all concerned about as well.

Li Chang’an replied, "I was fortunate enough to form a Mid Grade True Pill."

He certainly wouldn’t reveal the matter of his Immortal Golden Core; even a Half-Step Immortal or a Superior True Pill would be too ostentatious.

A Mid Grade True Pill was just right.

This Pill Quality was within many people’s expectations.

The expressions of most Cultivators present didn’t change much.

But Xiahou Hong clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly as a mix of emotions—rage, indignation, and disbelief—churned within him.

’A Mid Grade True Pill... Why a True Pill, and not a Fake Pill?’

His cultivation talent was far superior to Li Chang’an’s, and he was backed by a Golden Core Influence like Yellow Crane Immortal City, yet in the end, he had only managed to form a Fake Pill. How could he accept this?

At this moment, he saw his son, Xiahou Qian, standing beside him, and his heart calmed down slightly.

Xiahou Qian possessed exceptional talent and a deep foundation. He was also on the verge of Core Formation, and perhaps his Pill Quality would be even higher than Li Chang’an’s!

"Qian’er, after we return, you must prepare well. Do not slack off."

"Yes."

Xiahou Qian’s expression was complicated, and he felt immense pressure.

"Father, rest assured, the quality of my Golden Core will definitely be higher than that Li Chang’an’s."

He took a deep breath and looked away from Li Chang’an, his thoughts turning to his own path to Core Formation.

On the Flying Ship, far on the horizon,

The Zi Xi Saintess’s voice rang out once more.

"A Mid Grade True Pill is not bad. Although there’s no hope for Nascent Soul Formation, you can be considered an ancestor in this Southern Domain. It is not easy to cultivate to this step with a Low Grade Spiritual Root. You deserve a reward!"

As soon as her voice fell,

A streak of light shot out from the Flying Ship and arrived before Li Chang’an, materializing into a translucent Jade Bottle.

Inside the Jade Bottle was a perfectly round Elixir Pill.

Seeing this Elixir Pill, a trace of desire appeared in the eyes of many of the Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators present.

This pill was called the "Purple Spirit Pill." Its Tier had reached Tier Three Top Grade, and its Pill Formula was exclusive to the Purple Mist Sect. It could assist an Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator in breaking through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

The efficacy of this Purple Spirit Pill far surpassed other Elixir Pills meant to assist in Tier Breakthroughs.

The vast majority of the Golden Core Cultivators present were trapped in the Early Stage of Golden Core, perhaps for the rest of their lives. Naturally, they all coveted a Purple Spirit Pill like this.
