Chapter 259: Chapter 190: An Old Friend’s Shock, Clouds and Rain in an Old Place

As Li Chang’an was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed a slight disturbance in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power within the Zheng Clan Territory.

’Someone is undergoing Foundation Establishment?’

His figure flashed as he appeared outside the Library.

Above the Zheng Clan Territory, endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power surged wildly, forming a vortex of Spiritual Power nearly a thousand feet in diameter.

Someone was indeed attempting Foundation Establishment, and they had already reached the Magic Power Barrier!

’This time, with no interference from Zheng Feihong and the full support of the entire Zheng Family, they might just succeed,’ Li Chang’an mused.

Several hours passed quietly, and the Spiritual Power vortex dispersed smoothly, indicating that the Magic Power Barrier had been successfully overcome.

Just as Li Chang’an had guessed, it wasn’t long before the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator emerged, instantly blanketing the entire Zheng Clan Territory.

Immediately after, Zheng Yuandao’s gratified laughter rang out.

“Excellent! My Zheng Family finally has another Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

Hearing this, the countless disciples of the Zheng Family were overjoyed and burst into cheers.

With this, the Zheng Family reached an unprecedented height for their clan: four Foundation Establishment cultivators in one family!

In the Qinghe Region, such strength made them the undisputed dominant power.

A scene of thriving prosperity radiated from the entire clan.

A short while later, Li Chang’an learned from Zheng Qingqing who it was that had achieved Foundation Establishment.

The man’s name was Zheng Shoucheng. He had just turned forty and was in the prime of his life, strong enough to support the Zheng Family’s glory for the next two hundred years!

Furthermore, unlike Zheng Qingqing, he was very satisfied with just reaching Foundation Establishment and had no extravagant hopes of advancing further.

Because of this, he was willing to take over for Zheng Qingqing and preside over the Qinghe Marketplace.

Li Chang’an smiled. “Congratulations, Young Miss. From now on, you are truly free.”

“Yes, Chang’an. This is all thanks to you.”

Zheng Qingqing’s bright eyes sparkled, her smile was gentle, and she was clearly in high spirits.

After today, a new Chapter of her life could begin.

…

「A little over a month later.」

The Zheng Family held a Foundation Establishment Ceremony, and guests came from all corners to offer their congratulations.

This ceremony was much livelier than Li Chang’an’s; almost every power in the surrounding area attended.

This was not Yellow Crane Immortal City, after all.

The birth of a single Foundation Establishment cultivator was enough to affect the entire region.

In the following days, a great number of Qi Refining Clans and Sects arrived, their gifts piling up into a small mountain.

The reason Li Chang’an hadn’t left yet was that he wanted to see if he could find any overlooked treasures among the gifts.

「That night.」

A divination sign appeared, confirming that he could indeed find an overlooked treasure.

The next day, Li Chang’an rummaged through the mountain of gifts and pulled out a small, unremarkable Pill Furnace.

’According to the divination, this Pill Furnace contains the alchemy insights of a great master. It will be of immense benefit to my Alchemy Dao.’

Li Chang’an sent a slight jolt of power into it, and the Pill Furnace instantly shattered.

A Jade Scroll fell out from within.

Quick as a flash, he caught it, refined it, and probed it with a wisp of his Divine Sense.

In the next instant, a look of surprise appeared on Li Chang’an’s face.

’Master Dancheng’s notes!’

He had heard of this great master named Master Dancheng long ago.

There were even records of him in the Zheng Family’s alchemy legacy.

According to legend, Master Dancheng had reached the pinnacle of alchemy, capable of achieving “One Thought Becomes a Pill.”

With just a single thought, he could instantly complete all the steps of alchemy, transforming all the raw materials into Elixir Pills in a flash!

It was a realm that Li Chang’an couldn’t even begin to imagine.

’To think it’s the notes of such a great figure!’

A look of joy on his face, he held the Jade Scroll and carefully perused its contents.

The contents of the notes weren’t extensive; they seemed to be just a collection of messy, disorganized daily records.

But gradually, Li Chang’an became completely engrossed.

Unconsciously, he once again fell into a state of total absorption, forgetting both himself and the world around him.

Through those jumbled records, he faintly saw an amiable-looking old man.

The old man was sitting before a giant Pill Furnace, thousands of types of alchemy materials floating by his side, as if he was about to begin refining some kind of extremely high-tier Elixir Pill.

…

Just then, Zheng Yuandao noticed something strange about Li Chang’an.

He was about to approach but was blocked by the Tier Two Puppet at Li Chang’an’s side.

“Daoist Li’s state… could it be an epiphany?”

“It must be!”

Zheng Qingqing walked over, a flash of surprise and envy in her beautiful eyes.

A state of epiphany was a matter of luck, not effort. Most cultivators were lucky to experience it even once in their lifetime.

She had never experienced one to this day.

Zheng Yuandao had never experienced an epiphany either, which was why he had been so startled and uncertain just now.

“Daoist Li truly is extraordinary. No wonder he was able to reach Foundation Establishment as a Loose Cultivator.”

He sighed with emotion, then ordered everyone to quiet down and not to disturb Li Chang’an.

Just like that, Li Chang’an inexplicably stole the spotlight from the Zheng Family’s Foundation Establishment Ceremony.

About four hours later.

Li Chang’an opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

He immediately stood up and said to Zheng Qingqing, “Young Miss, I need an Alchemy Room!”

“Alright, follow me!”

This was the Zheng Clan Territory; there was no shortage of Alchemy Rooms here.

Soon, Li Chang’an was led to a private chamber.

This was the place where the Zheng Family’s Tier Two Alchemists refined their pills. It had excellent quality Earth Fire and a Pill Furnace that had reached the Tier Two Top Grade!

At this moment, Li Chang’an’s mind was racing, all sorts of insights continuously flashing through his head.

Inspiration struck him, and he had a premonition: today was the day he would become a Tier Two Alchemist!

“Pill Fire, rise!”

Li Chang’an immediately started the furnace for alchemy, attempting to refine a type of Tier Two Elixir he had never made before.

He took out the alchemy materials one by one, refining them into medicinal liquids and manipulating them to merge. The entire process was incredibly smooth, without the slightest mistake.

Before long, a few perfectly round Elixir Pills emerged from the furnace.

“Tier Two Low Grade, Wood Element Pills!”

Li Chang’an was all smiles.

His earlier premonition was correct!

From this day forward, he was officially a Tier Two Alchemist!

He didn’t hide this news, quickly informing Zheng Qingqing and the others.

Zheng Qingqing had expected as much and wasn’t too surprised.

“Congratulations, Chang’an.”

But Zheng Yuandao and the others were utterly astonished.

To possess two Tier Two Skills simultaneously—and for them to be the extremely difficult skills of Alchemy and Talisman Painting—was simply incredible.

For either of these two Skills, reaching Tier Two was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

What they didn’t know was that Li Chang’an’s Puppetry Skill had also reached Tier Two long ago.

If they were to learn of this, they would most likely view Li Chang’an as a monster.

…

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an and Zheng Qingqing left the Zheng Clan Territory and returned to the Qinghe Marketplace.

He had fully accomplished his goals for the trip and even had the unexpected bonus of breaking through to become a Tier Two Alchemist. He was in an excellent mood.

Zheng Qingqing was also in a good mood, simply because she had obtained true freedom.

The two walked side by side along the familiar streets of the Marketplace.

“Chang’an, are you planning to live on Changqing Mountain from now on?”

“Yes. What are your plans, Young Miss?”

“I’ll continue to be an Honored Guest Elder for the Jin Family. The Jin Family is a Merchant Family, and they have quite a few treasures in their clan…”

The two chatted as they walked.

Before they knew it, they found themselves in front of a small house.

This house was Li Chang’an’s first residence. It had no courtyard and looked very simple.

The Zheng Family had kept the place for him.

In all these years, no one else had lived in this house.

Looking at the familiar house, Li Chang’an felt a surge of emotion and pushed the door open.

Everything inside the house was exactly as it had been when he moved out.

Not a single thing had been changed.

…

「That evening.」

Inside the small house, Li Chang’an and Zheng Qingqing sat drinking together.

Perhaps because they were in such good moods, both of them let their guard down for once and didn’t hold back.

The night gradually deepened.

Zheng Qingqing was already tipsy, her pretty face flushed and her eyes hazy.

“Chang’an, you can really hold your liquor…”

She gave a dazzling, captivating smile, tossed aside the empty wine bottle in her hand, and reached out, seemingly intending to grab another one.

But her eyes were hazy with drink, and it seemed she didn’t see clearly. Her fair hand didn’t grasp the wine bottle, but instead closed around Li Chang’an’s.

Li Chang’an froze.

He was about to pull his hand back when he heard Zheng Qingqing say, “Chang’an, we’ve known each other for many years. You should understand how I feel.”

Li Chang’an naturally understood.

Having lived two lives, he wasn’t so dense that he couldn’t see what was on her mind.

But he truly didn’t want to start a family or be burdened by one, his heart set solely on the Path of Longevity.

“Young Miss, the Cultivation Immortality Realm is ever-changing. Foundation Establishment is just…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his words were stopped by her fervent lips.

Li Chang’an was stunned for a moment. He was a bit passive, but he didn’t resist and quickly accepted the reality of the situation.

The night wind howled, and a light rain fell.

A sleepless night…
