Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an was naturally pleased to see this.

’Good. The Purple Mist Sect did it. It has nothing to do with me.’

In high spirits, he went to the Black Market and found Luo Qiantong.

Over the past few years, thanks to his unstinting support, Luo Qiantong’s organization had developed with remarkable success.

Luo Qiantong’s men now permeated the entire Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm.

He had even begun plotting an expansion beyond Zhao Country, aiming to grow his intelligence network even further.

Li Chang’an asked, ”Qiantong, has everything been going smoothly?”

Luo Qiantong replied respectfully, ”Thanks to you, Uncle Li, things have been developing quite smoothly recently. There haven’t been many obstacles.”

”That’s good.”

Li Chang’an tossed him another large bag of Spirit Stones and explained his reason for coming.

”Qiantong, I need you to investigate Liu Feiyan of the Western Domain’s Mandarin Duck Valley. I want to know everything about her.”

Hearing this, Luo Qiantong quickly presented a Jade Scroll.

Inside the Jade Scroll was all the information he had already collected on Liu Feiyan.

Li Chang’an read through it. He was already aware of most of the information, though a few details were new to him.

For example, Liu Feiyan and Huang Sha True Monarch had become Daoist partners many years ago, but the two of them still had no children.

Another tidbit: Liu Feiyan and the late Fan Wei Master had once studied under the same master. They were senior brother and junior sister and had been quite close.

’Senior brother and junior sister...’

Li Chang’an was lost in thought.

He was beginning to understand why Liu Feiyan had been constantly pressuring Shi Hu Master.

”Qiantong, this information is quite helpful. Keep gathering more.”

Li Chang’an gave the order and was about to leave.

But Luo Qiantong suddenly called out to him.

”Uncle Li, you need to be careful.”

”Careful of what?”

”The Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect.”

”What? Is he preparing to use some new method to find me?”

Li Chang’an was unconcerned.

After all these years, the Yin Soul Sect still hadn’t found his true self. They hadn’t even figured out that ’Li Fan’ was just an alias.

This proved his disguise was quite effective.

Luo Qiantong reminded him, ”Uncle Li, that Quasi-Tier Four Divination Master from the Yin Soul Sect has recently been collecting items you’ve left behind.”

”Items I’ve left behind?”

Li Chang’an thought for a moment. He had always been meticulous and never left anything behind.

Luo Qiantong added, ”Uncle Li, I’ve heard that Divination Master has a method. They can use the items you’ve left behind, the people you’ve contacted, the things you’ve done, and so on, to weave a great web... and at the center of that web will be your location.”

”Oh? That’s a rather novel technique.”

Li Chang’an’s Divination Skill was stuck at Tier Two, so he didn’t know much about High Tier Divination Skills.

However, he had absolute confidence in the daily Divination he received.

Although this Treasure had no physical form, its Tier must be quite high.

No matter what method that Quasi-Tier Four Divination Master used, it would be impossible for them to deduce his true identity.

”There’s no need to worry about this. The people from the Yin Soul Sect won’t find me.”

Li Chang’an departed, leaving behind those confident words.

After returning to Changqing Mountain, he entered the depths of his cave abode and sealed the entrance.

Immediately after, he took out the Venerable Soul Banner and released the Soul of Shi Hu Master from within.

”Daoist Shi Hu, it’s been a while.”

”Li Chang’an! It was you!”

Shi Hu Master was both shocked and furious. He truly couldn’t believe he had died at Li Chang’an’s hands.

He was even more incredulous that Li Chang’an was still alive and hadn’t died from the Treasure Sword in the Storage Pouch.

By all rights, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator should never have been able to survive that sword light!

”You... how did you survive? And how did you convince Cyan Snake and the others?”

For a moment, countless questions flashed through Shi Hu Master’s mind.

There were too many things about his own death that he couldn’t comprehend.

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly and said, ”Daoist Shi Hu, I never convinced Daoist Cyan Snake and the others.”

”If you didn’t convince them, then why would they... The Demon Planting Technique! It’s the Demon Planting Technique!”

Shi Hu Master suddenly realized.

His heart trembled, and his gaze towards Li Chang’an was now tinged with fear.

As a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he was well aware of how terrifying the Demon Planting Technique was.

He never would have imagined that the seemingly unremarkable Li Chang’an had actually learned this Cultivation Technique.

”No wonder you were able to reach Core Formation with the talent of a Low Grade Spirit Root! The opportunity you obtained was Mo Qingkuang’s legacy!”

Shi Hu Master’s mind was in turmoil, reeling from the shock.

If he had known earlier that Li Chang’an was Mo Qingkuang’s successor, he would have never accepted that Decree from Huang Sha True Monarch.

Even if it meant being looked down upon by Huang Sha True Monarch, he would not have been willing to face a Cultivator who practiced the Demon Planting Technique.

To this, Li Chang’an did not explain.

His methods were derived from the Demon Planting Technique; explaining would just be a waste of time.

”Daoist Shi Hu, I do indeed practice the Demon Planting Technique. As for how I survived, it’s because of this Treasure Armor.”

A Spiritual Light flashed in his hand, and the tattered Red Scale Armor instantly appeared.

The moment he saw the Treasure Armor, Shi Hu Master understood.

A Quasi-Tier Four Treasure Armor refined with Tier Four Materials could indeed block a few strikes from a Nascent Soul.

Li Chang’an had been far too prepared for this battle, having considered every possible angle.

”It’s no wonder I was defeated,” Shi Hu Master sighed.

Facing an opponent who hid his true strength so deeply, it wasn’t just him; even the Saint Children and Saintesses of the Yellow Sand Sect would have been defeated!

Li Chang’an put away the Treasure Armor and said, ”Daoist Shi Hu, I’ve answered your questions. Now it’s your turn to answer mine.”

”Ask away.”

Shi Hu Master did not resist.

He was well aware that as nothing more than a Soul, any resistance was futile.

Li Chang’an asked, ”Back at my Core Formation Ceremony, you said you would cut me down within five years. Why the long delay?”
