Eternal Life by Daily Divination

”This guy is not easy to deal with. His Tier Three Scorpion Demon is lurking in the shadows. I’ll hold him off while you find a chance to break the array.”

”There’s no need. Elder Mo, just focus on healing. I am enough.”

Hearing this, Mo Qingxue was stunned for a moment.

She gave Li Chang’an a deep look but said nothing more. She immediately sat down cross-legged and began circulating her energy to heal.

Outside the array, Fan Zhou sneered, ”What arrogance. You think you can—”

Before he could finish, he saw Li Chang’an give a casual wave of his hand.

BOOM!

The entire array collapsed in an instant.

Immediately after, he raised his hand and unleashed a Cyan Wood Divine Light.

”Go!”

A flash of cyan light filled the cave mansion, and in the next instant, the Cyan Wood Divine Light slammed into Fan Zhou.

With a series of rumbles, all of Fan Zhou’s Protective Treasures shattered.

His expression changed drastically. Before he could even react, a second Cyan Wood Divine Light struck him!

BOOM!

Fan Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the stone wall.

Several more Cyan Wood Divine Lights followed.

He didn’t even have time to beg for mercy before he was blasted into a bloody mist on the spot.

The Tier Three Scorpion Demon hiding in the shadows had intended to ambush Li Chang’an, but Fan Zhou died too quickly. Bound by the Master-Servant Spirit Contract, it let out a wretched cry and its life force dissipated.

The battle was over.

From start to finish, it hadn’t even taken five breaths’ time.

Mo Qingxue stared blankly at the scene, having completely forgotten to heal herself. Her heart was in turmoil.

’She had originally thought that Li Chang’an possessed some kind of Treasure that could grant him the temporary power to kill a Golden Core Master.’

’But she never imagined that Li Chang’an hadn’t used any Treasures at all. He had killed Fan Zhou, a cultivator of a higher realm, purely with his own Magic!’

Although Fan Zhou was only in the Early Stage of Golden Core, he possessed a Tier Three Array Skill and a Tier Three Spirit Beast. He had made a great name for himself on the Two Realms Battlefield over the years, and even Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivators were wary of him.

And yet, a figure like that had been utterly powerless against Li Chang’an!

”Li Chang’an, you... you’ve already reached Core Formation?”

”I’d like to, but the time isn’t right.”

Li Chang’an gestured with his hand, taking Fan Zhou’s Storage Pouch. He then cast a few Talismans, burning the bloody mist to ashes.

He also collected the corpse of the Tier Three Scorpion Demon into his Storage Pouch.

He didn’t let the materials from the two arrays go to waste, either.

After doing all this, he turned and said, ”Elder Mo, this is the Two Realms Battlefield. It’s not a suitable place for healing. Let’s leave first.”

”Alright.”

Mo Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

Though she had countless questions, she also knew this was not a good place to talk.

The two of them immediately transformed into two streaks of light, leaving the Ancient Cave Mansion and heading straight for Changqing Mountain.

「En route.」

Li Chang’an noticed that Mo Qingxue’s aura hadn’t recovered. On the contrary, it was steadily declining, growing weaker and weaker until it was almost imperceptible.

He immediately asked, ”Elder Mo, how are your injuries?”

Mo Qingxue’s face was pale. She shook her head gently, her voice weak.

”It’s nothing, just some lingering poison... Once we get back, I...”

Before she could finish, she suddenly collapsed, unable to maintain her flight, and plummeted toward the ground below.

Li Chang’an’s eyes and hands were quick. He immediately caught her, holding her in his arms.

At this moment, Mo Qingxue’s body was cold and rigid.

He felt as if he were holding a block of ice. He immediately flew downward and unleashed his Magical Power, carving a cave mansion into the side of a cliff.

’Strange, could the Antitoxic Pill be useless?’

Li Chang’an gently laid Mo Qingxue down.

He sent a wisp of his Magical Power to travel through Mo Qingxue’s body and quickly discovered the source of the problem.

Several of the Scorpion Demon’s Poison Needles were lodged deep in her chest, firmly embedded in her flesh and continuously releasing a Tier Three poison.

”Elder Mo, if these Poison Needles aren’t removed, the poison accumulating in your body will increase. You will soon die from it.”

”I know...”

Mo Qingxue’s aura was faint. She let out a soft sigh.

She had planned to find a way to remove the Poison Needles after returning, but it was clearly too late for that now.

Right now, her body was numb and rigid. How could she possibly have the strength to remove the Poison Needles herself?

She could only rely on Li Chang’an.

But the location of those Poison Needles was rather... awkward.

Li Chang’an said calmly, ”Elder Mo, to save your life, I’m afraid I must be impertinent.”

Hearing this, Mo Qingxue’s entire body trembled.

She squeezed her eyes shut.

”It is just a physical shell... You... do what you must!”

”Very well.”

Li Chang’an immediately reached out and slowly removed Mo Qingxue’s clothes and armor.

His expression remained unchanged. With the gaze of a perfect gentleman, he examined the wounds on her chest, observing them carefully for a long time.

After a good while, he used his Tier Three Spirit Doctor skills to slowly remove the Poison Needles.

During the process, some contact was unavoidable, causing a faint blush to appear on Mo Qingxue’s pale, weak cheeks.

Afterward, Li Chang’an dressed her in her clothes and armor again and took out a few corresponding Tier Three Detoxification Pills.

He dissolved the Antitoxic Elixir’s potency and guided it with his Magical Power, slowly expelling the Demon Poison from Mo Qingxue’s body.

During this process, Mo Qingxue could clearly feel a warm power flowing through her body, dispelling the deathly cold.

About a quarter of an hour later, all the Demon Poison had been expelled.

Her body was no longer rigid and cold. Her Magical Power was merely depleted, and she would need a long period of rest to recover after returning.

”There, Elder Mo. Your injuries are no longer serious.”

Li Chang’an retracted his Magical Power and swallowed a few Elixir Pills to recover his own.

Mo Qingxue slowly sat up, straightened her clothes and armor, and looked at Li Chang’an, the emotions in her beautiful eyes especially complex.

”Li Chang’an, I never thought you were not only a Tier Three Alchemist, but also a Tier Three Array Master and a Tier Three Spirit Doctor. Just how much more are you hiding?”

”Not much. Just a little bit left to hide.”

”You’re lying to me again.”

”...”

Li Chang’an was left speechless and could only look at Mo Qingxue quietly.

Their eyes met, and they stared at each other for a long time.

In the silence, the atmosphere within the cave mansion subtly began to change.
