Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Chapter 250: Chapter 188: A Golden Core’s Longevity, Li Chang’an’s Daoist Sanctum

A look of joy appeared on Li Chang’an’s face.

With a thought, he circulated his Cultivation Technique. His efficiency at absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power was far greater than before!

Even in the Ancient Cultivation Immortality Realm, the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique was a top-tier Cultivation Technique.

From now on.

When Li Chang’an faced the Celestial Prides of the Great Noble Families and Major Sects, he would no longer be at a disadvantage with his Cultivation Technique. In fact, he might even have an edge.

If they were at the same realm, his accumulated Magical Power would undoubtedly be greater!

Moreover.

Although his appearance hadn’t changed.

He could clearly feel that he had grown younger.

’Four hundred and eighty years of lifespan!’

Li Chang’an was all smiles, in high spirits.

He was now in his fifties, having only lived a small fraction of his entire life. He still had over four hundred years left.

At this thought.

He retrieved an Elixir Pill from his Storage Pouch with a thought.

’A Tier One Lifespan Extension Pill. It can extend one’s lifespan by five years.’

Each Cultivator could only take one such Elixir Pill in their lifetime; a second one would have no effect.

After meditating for a moment to regulate his breath, Li Chang’an swallowed the Lifespan Extension Pill.

A moment later.

The medicinal power dissolved and spread throughout his body.

A profound and mysterious aura of time began to permeate the air.

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged, silently comprehending the sensation.

After a moment.

A flash of joy appeared in his eyes.

’A ten-year extension!’

Perhaps due to the unique properties of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, the effect of this Lifespan Extension Pill had actually doubled!

With this, Li Chang’an’s lifespan reached four hundred and ninety years.

Furthermore.

He had a feeling he could take even more Tier One Lifespan Extension Pills.

’Let’s give it a try.’

With a thought, another Lifespan Extension Pill appeared in Li Chang’an’s hand.

This type of Elixir Pill was very precious. Although it was only Tier One, its value surpassed most Tier Two Treasures, and many Cultivators couldn’t buy one even if they wanted to.

Fortunately, he himself was an Alchemist. As long as he had the materials, he could refine them at any time.

A moment later.

Li Chang’an swallowed the second Lifespan Extension Pill.

This time, he once again felt that mysterious aura of time, but it didn’t last as long as the previous one.

’A seven-year extension!’

A smile appeared on his face. He knew he had guessed correctly!

Although the lifespan-extending effect of this pill was not as good as the first, it was still effective!

Afterward.

Li Chang’an took three more Tier One Lifespan Extension Pills in succession, extending his life by four years, one and a half years, and several months, respectively.

When he swallowed the sixth Lifespan Extension Pill, the effect was reduced to just over ten days.

It was almost nothing.

’My lifespan has reached five hundred and three years, surpassing the threshold for a Golden Core Cultivator.’

Li Chang’an carefully sensed his condition.

If word of such a long lifespan were to get out, it would surely cause a massive uproar.

He knew he had to keep a low profile and not let anyone find out.

After regulating his breath for a moment.

Li Chang’an’s mind stirred, and he took out a Tier Two Lifespan Extension Pill.

He wasn’t a Tier Two Alchemist yet. He had found this Lifespan Extension Pill in Miao Qianshui’s Storage Pouch.

’A Tier Two Lifespan Extension Pill. Under normal circumstances, it can extend one’s lifespan by ten years.’

Li Chang’an pondered, ’Can the effect of this pill also be doubled?’

He swallowed it in one gulp.

As the medicinal power dissolved, the mysterious aura of time surged forth once more, lasting for a long time.

’A twenty-year extension!’

Li Chang’an beamed with joy. It really could be doubled.

Moreover, he felt he could take even more Tier Two Lifespan Extension Pills.

However, he didn’t have any more at the moment.

After a while.

Li Chang’an took out the Ten Thousand Years Green and refined and consumed it.

Under normal circumstances, this Ten Thousand Years Green could also extend one’s lifespan by ten years.

But when it acted on Li Chang’an, the effect also doubled, extending his life by twenty years!

At this point.

Li Chang’an’s lifespan reached five hundred and forty-three years.

Many Golden Core Cultivators couldn’t even live that long.

’I still have nearly five hundred years to live!’

Li Chang’an carefully sensed his own condition, feeling completely satisfied.

He glanced in the direction of Yellow Crane Mountain.

He calculated carefully.

Huang He Master had achieved the Golden Core realm over two hundred years ago. At most, he only had about two hundred years of lifespan left.

In other words.

Even if he just waited it out, Li Chang’an could outlive Huang He Master!

’This is the advantage of a long life.’

Li Chang’an mused.

…

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an went to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower to ask about Tier Two Lifespan Extension Pills and learned that they were not currently for sale.

Every time a new batch of these Elixir Pills was produced, it would be bought up by various factions. One had to pre-order them.

“Manager Jin, please help me pre-order one.”

Li Chang’an paid the deposit.

Jin Yue had a strange expression as he accepted the deposit.

“Elder Li, these Lifespan Extension Pills are extremely expensive. Usually, only old Foundation Establishment Cultivators with little lifespan remaining buy them. You are still young; your Spirit Stones should be used for more important things.”

“Heh, for me, lifespan is one of the most important things.”

Li Chang’an chuckled.

If he weren’t afraid of exposing the characteristics of his Evergreen Technique, he would have even wanted to pre-order several more.

“By the way, Manager Jin, does your Jin Family have any particularly precious Spirit Plants for sale?”

“Spirit Plants? Elder Li, how precious are we talking?”

“The more precious, the better! For example, things like Ancient Spirit Seeds, Tier Three Spirit Plants, or Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots.”

“This…”

Jin Yue looked troubled.

He shook his head, explaining that his authority within the family wasn’t high enough to have access to such precious Treasures.

Any Treasure that reached Tier Three had to be reviewed by the Jin Family’s Golden Core Ancestor, and every transaction required his personal approval.

“Elder Li, how about I help you contact the Ancestor?”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Li Chang’an had no desire to come face-to-face with the Golden Core Ancestor of a Merchant Family.

After some more conversation.

He left the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and returned to his residence.

…

「Not long after.」

Su Yuyan suddenly came to him with good news.

The Tier Two Spirit Vein that Li Chang’an wanted was now available.

“Brother Li, a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein just became available recently.”

Su Yuyan offered a faint, pleasant-sounding smile as she explained the situation to Li Chang’an.

The location of the Spirit Vein was quite good.

It was located right between Yellow Crane Immortal City and Qinghe Marketplace, and it wasn’t far from several other Marketplaces. Its Tier also met Li Chang’an’s requirements.

It was enough for him to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment!

The one who had originally leased the Spirit Vein was a Tier Two Alchemist.

In order to obtain a certain rare Demon Beast Essence Blood, he had ventured into the Black Dragon Mountain Range, was careless, and suffered heavy injuries. He passed away not long after returning.

Su Yuyan said with a bright smile, “Brother Li, that fellow Cultivator really died at the perfect time, freeing up the spot for you.”

Li Chang’an was also quite pleased.

“To that fellow Cultivator, may you find peace on your journey.”
