Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Chapter 226: Chapter 181: Qingqing’s Heart, Chang’an’s Foundation Establishment

Zheng Qingqing hurriedly averted her gaze, a blush creeping onto her pretty face.

She immediately changed the subject to their demon beast hunt.

In truth, with her strength, she could have escaped Miao Qianshui even if she was no match for him.

However, she had already been injured by a Tier Two Water Element Demon Beast before Miao Qianshui even attacked.

“It was a Water Cloud Turtle. The power contained within its Demon Core is very gentle, perfect for Alchemy.”

Zheng Qingqing sounded a little regretful.

She hadn’t been able to kill the Water Cloud Turtle. Instead, she had been seriously injured fighting it, and was then ambushed by Miao Qianshui while she was healing.

“Chang’an, once I’ve recovered, if you help me with your Puppets and Poison Technique, we might be able to kill that Water Cloud Turtle.”

“There’s no need.”

With a thought, Li Chang’an made a lustrous white Demon Core appear in his hand.

Seeing this Demon Core, Zheng Qingqing’s gaze froze.

The calm she had just managed to regain was once again thrown into turmoil.

From this Demon Core, she could clearly sense the aura of that Profound Moon Cat Demon!

“Chang’an, you… you killed that Profound Moon Cat Demon?”

She took a deep breath, asking in disbelief.

Li Chang’an responded with a smile.

“No, I asked a senior to take action and help me kill it.”

“Chang’an…”

“Hm?”

“That ’senior’ you mentioned… was it you?”

“Young Miss, you’re overthinking it. How could I have that kind of power?”

Li Chang’an shook his head repeatedly, denying it outright.

Hearing this, Zheng Qingqing pressed her red lips together and asked no more questions.

She reached out and took the Demon Core.

She sensed it carefully.

「A moment later.」

She said softly, “This Demon Core is indeed very suitable for Alchemy. If the quality of the other materials is also good, I’m fifty percent confident I can refine High-quality Foundation Establishment Pills!”

“Fifty percent?”

Li Chang’an grew thoughtful.

He knew that Zheng Qingqing liked to hold back a little, rarely speaking in absolutes.

’Since she says fifty percent, the real probability is most likely over seventy percent!’

At this thought, Li Chang’an immediately took out a large quantity of main and Auxiliary Medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pills from his Storage Pouch.

Although he hadn’t deliberately collected these materials lately, they were present in almost all of his enemies’ Storage Pouches, so he had already gathered enough for a full five sets of Foundation Establishment Pills!

“Young Miss, take your pick!”

“Chang’an, you…”

Seeing this huge pile of materials, a trace of shock flashed through Zheng Qingqing’s beautiful eyes once more.

She was stunned for a long moment before she couldn’t help but ask, “Chang’an, did you rob the Treasure Vault of Yellow Crane Immortal City?”

“No, it was just a stroke of good fortune.”

“A stroke of good fortune…”

Zheng Qingqing really didn’t know what to say, so she decided to say nothing at all.

She slowly calmed her emotions, centered herself, and began to carefully select the materials with her expertise in the Alchemy Dao.

「About a quarter of an hour later.」

She selected the highest-quality set from among the materials.

Using these high-quality materials for Alchemy would make the probability of refining High-quality Foundation Establishment Pills much higher.

“Chang’an, after we get back, I’ll immediately help you refine the Foundation Establishment Pills.”

“There’s no rush, Young Miss. You should heal your injuries first!”

Li Chang’an didn’t want any accidents happening.

Zheng Qingqing’s injuries weren’t severe. With some Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines, she would recover quickly.

He could afford to wait that little bit of time.

After all, he had already waited for so many years.

Zheng Qingqing gave a soft smile. “Alright, Chang’an, I’ll do as you say. But… you saved my life this time. I still don’t know how I can possibly repay you.”

Li Chang’an didn’t overthink it and replied directly.

“Young Miss, with your intelligence, you should know what I want.”

“You…”

Zheng Qingqing’s beautiful eyes, shimmering like water, met Li Chang’an’s for a moment.

After a moment, she sighed softly, and an Inheritance Jade Scroll appeared in her hand.

“Take it. This is a Tier Two Middle Grade Alchemy inheritance.”

“Many thanks, Young Miss!”

Li Chang’an smiled and took it without any ceremony.

He had been coveting this Alchemy inheritance for a long time.

Back in Qinghe Marketplace, he had wanted to obtain the Zheng Family’s Alchemy inheritance, but his strength was too weak back then, and he wasn’t qualified to possess such a thing.

Now, the inheritance was finally in his hands!

Li Chang’an held the Jade Scroll and sent his Divine Sense into it, perusing its contents carefully.

’It really is an Alchemy inheritance!’

His attainments in Alchemy had long reached Tier One Peak. With this inheritance, he could soon attempt to break through to Tier Two and become a Tier Two Alchemist.

However, everything would have to wait until after his Foundation Establishment.

Within the inheritance, he soon found the Chapter on Foundation Establishment Pills.

“So, there isn’t just one Pill Formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but more than ten. The main and Auxiliary Medicines can all be substituted with other Spirit Medicines that have similar properties…”

Li Chang’an was a little surprised. This was truly eye-opening.

The Pill Formula circulated in the outside world was simply the most widely known version and the one with the easiest-to-gather materials.

Furthermore, although the Foundation Establishment Pill was only a Tier Two Middle Grade Elixir, its refining difficulty was comparable to a Tier Two Top Grade pill.

Because this Elixir Pill was so important, Pill Masters would be under immense psychological pressure when refining it, which would in turn double the difficulty.

Li Chang’an became somewhat engrossed, but he quickly withdrew his Divine Sense.

The Black Dragon Mountain Range was fraught with peril and no place to be studying the Alchemy Dao.

Afterward, he began to take stock of the spoils from this battle.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a Major Sect, Miao Qianshui was naturally wealthy.

In his Storage Pouch, there was a pile of over ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones!

There were also many Treasures, but most of them were Water Element Treasures.

Li Chang’an couldn’t use them himself.

They could only be given to the Profound Water Turtle.

Before long, with another thought, he took out a water-blue Longsword.

This was the very Longsword that had shattered Zheng Qingqing’s Fire Lotus Spiritual Artifact.

“A Tier Two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Profound Water Sword!”

Li Chang’an held the Treasure Sword and gave it a light shake. A ripple of light flowed along the blade, and one could faintly hear the sound of crashing waves.
