Eternal Life by Daily Divination

In the previous battle.

The power Li Chang’an had displayed was simply too immense.

Any other Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even one from a Golden Core Influence who had seen more of the world, would have mistaken him for a Golden Core Master.

“Spare me, Elder! I’m still useful! I can lure out that Nie Ting for you!”

Qi Xuan was frantic. He knew that simply begging for mercy was useless, so he immediately began to state his value.

’If I have value, I can live!’

Just then, the Evil Soul’s voice sounded in Li Chang’an’s ear.

“Master, I’ve searched the area, but I couldn’t find that Nie Ting.”

’That guy is certainly cautious.’

Li Chang’an spread his Divine Sense and searched as well, but he also found nothing.

A dignified Fake Pill Master was being this cautious against him, someone who was, on the surface, a mere Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Since he couldn’t be found, the only option was to find a way to lure him out.

Li Chang’an flicked his finger, shooting a strand of green light into Qi Xuan’s body.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you right now.”

“Thank you for sparing my life, Elder!”

Qi Xuan’s face was filled with gratitude as he thanked him profusely.

But in the next instant, he sensed that something was wrong.

By the time he realized what was happening, he could no longer move on his own. He had become a Wood Seed Puppet.

“Let’s go. We’ll take a look at your Qi Clan Territory.”

Under Li Chang’an’s control, Qi Xuan transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the Qi Clan Territory.

Luo Yunshu’s lips parted slightly, her small face filled with disbelief.

“Ancestor, are you really a Golden Core Master?”

“Achieving Core Formation isn’t that easy. I’m just a bit stronger than an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”

“A bit stronger…”

Luo Yunshu murmured, her heart finding it difficult to calm down.

This so-called “bit” was so much stronger that it made her wonder if her own Cultivation was fake.

Even in the many ancient texts she had read, she had never seen someone fight so effortlessly against a higher-level opponent.

Even now, the Qi exuding from Li Chang’an was still only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, not even the Late Stage.

“Ancestor, you’re truly amazing.”

Luo Yunshu blinked her large eyes, scooted closer to Li Chang’an, and subconsciously began to flatter him.

“Ancestor, your strength is extraordinary, unparalleled in this world… Mmph…”

The words had barely left her mouth when Li Chang’an cast a stream of Magical Power to seal her lips.

Li Chang’an only unsealed them when the two arrived at the Qi Clan Territory.

Luo Yunshu’s little face was flushed red, and she puffed her cheeks in a pout.

“Ancestor, one day I’m going to seal your mouth!”

“We can talk about that after you surpass me.”

Hearing this, Luo Yunshu instantly deflated.

’Looking at how things are now, even in a few decades, I might not be Li Chang’an’s match unless I can successfully achieve Core Formation.’

Before long, the two arrived at the Qi Family’s Treasure Vault.

Li Chang’an opened the Treasure Vault and took a look. Most of the Treasures inside were unremarkable.

However, a few items had reached Tier Three and could be used to create Tier Three Puppets, so he casually swept them into his Storage Pouch.

With his permission, Luo Yunshu also selected a few Treasures.

After all, the calamity that had befallen Luo Yunshu and the Luo Family was largely related to him.

Next, Li Chang’an temporarily released his control over Qi Xuan to question him.

“Qi Xuan, did that Nie Ting leave behind any way to contact him?”

“Yes, he did!”

Qi Xuan was terrified and answered hurriedly.

He never wanted to experience the feeling of being a Puppet again, so he honestly confessed everything.

“Elder Li, look. This Jade Stone is the contact method Nie Ting left behind.”

A Spiritual Light flashed in Qi Xuan’s hand, and a pure white Jade Stone appeared.

Nie Ting had instructed him to crush this Jade Stone as soon as he captured Li Chang’an.

When that time came, he would arrive and take Li Chang’an away.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Li Chang’an did not probe the Jade Stone.

With a thought, a fake skin flew out from his Storage Pouch and draped itself over a Puppet, transforming it into a decoy that was identical to him in both appearance and Qi.

Next, Li Chang’an asked for a few more details.

Qi Xuan explained everything in detail, not daring to hide a single thing.

Afterward, Li Chang’an used his Wood Seed Technique to control Qi Xuan once more, making him restrain the Puppet decoy and crush the Jade Stone.

’Now let’s see if that Nie Ting shows up.’

Li Chang’an placed Luo Yunshu into his Spirit Beast Bag, concealed himself in the shadows, and lay in wait.

He waited for several days, but Nie Ting never appeared.

Li Chang’an was very patient and continued to wait. He waited for the better part of half a month, but Nie Ting still did not show up.

’He’s actually this cautious.’

Li Chang’an frowned, gave up waiting, and returned to Changqing Mountain.

「In the days that followed.」

He did not let his guard down, constantly monitoring Qi Xuan’s situation through his Wood Seed Technique.

Time flew by, and another half a month or so passed.

「On this day.」

Li Chang’an’s Array Formation skill successfully broke through to Tier Three, reaching Tier Three Low Grade.

With a thought, the Green Wood Transformation Array materialized. Countless Array Flags and Array Treasures flickered in and out of existence in the void, linking together to form intricate Array Patterns.

’I could never understand the Array Patterns in the core of this Green Wood Transformation Array before, but now I finally can. This Array still has potential. I can make some minor improvements to give it even greater power.’

「Over the next few days.」

Li Chang’an dismantled another Quasi-Tier Three array.

He frequently visited various shops in Yellow Crane Immortal City and the Black Market, and called upon his various friends, buying up large quantities of materials needed for Array Formation.

Ultimately, using the Green Wood Transformation Array as the core, he set up four additional Tier Three Grand Arrays.

The composition of these four Tier Three Grand Arrays was similar to the Green Wood Transformation Array.

But their attributes were different, corresponding to the four attributes of Gold, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The five Grand Arrays superimposed, transforming into a brand-new Array.

’I’ll name this Array the ’Five Elements Life-generating Array’.’

Li Chang’an stood in his courtyard and activated the Array with his full power. Feeling its terrifying might, he nodded in satisfaction.
