Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an did not refuse.

Afterward.

The two sides exchanged the maps they had each compiled.

Although Li Chang’an had his Blood-Dripping Incarnation, he had only been inside for a short time and hadn’t explored much, so his map was far less detailed than the one from Ye Sang’s trio.

He didn’t lose out on the exchange.

Afterward.

The four of them ventured deeper into the space shrouded in gray mist.

Along the way, Ye Sang offered what seemed to be a kind reminder.

”Daoist Li, you must be careful. A lot of this surrounding gray mist is poisonous. If you’re not paying attention, you could be severely poisoned before you even know it.”

”Okay, thank you for the reminder, Daoist Ye.”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile.

He wasn’t too worried about this. The Ten Thousand Poison Gu in his sleeve was extremely sensitive to poisonous mist.

The next few days went by rather smoothly.

They narrowly avoided one dangerous area after another, venturing ever deeper into the space.

That evening.

A Tier Three Middle Stage Demon Beast suddenly attacked.

The four of them were all only at the Early Stage of Golden Core. After a great deal of effort, they finally managed to kill it by working together.

During the battle.

Li Chang’an only displayed the strength of an ordinary Early Stage Golden Core cultivator.

Ye Sang and Wu Shuo were slightly stronger than him.

Zi Yun’s strength was astonishing; she could fight above her tier and had dealt the most damage to the Demon Beast.

”Is anyone hurt?”

Ye Sang asked with concern.

”I have plenty of Spirit Medicine here. If any of you need it, just take it.”

”Daoist Ye, you shouldn’t be so kind to people, or they’ll just think you’re a pushover.”

Zi Yun smiled, her attitude toward Ye Sang exceptionally warm.

She reminded Ye Sang, ”Within the Purple Mist Sect, there is a Tier Four Spirit Doctor legacy, but many people have their eyes on it. You will inevitably have to compete with them for it in the future. You need to be more ruthless.”

For the rest of the journey, she took special care of Ye Sang.

Clearly.

His kind nature had left a very good impression on her.

Before they knew it, several more days had passed.

Late one night, another Tier Three Demon Beast attacked.

This Demon Beast was even more formidable than the last, its power bordering on the Tier Three Late Stage.

After a bitter struggle, the group finally managed to kill it.

”Strange. Could it be that there are no opportunities here, only endless danger?”

”Everyone, if we go any deeper, I’m afraid we’ll encounter even more danger. Do you wish to continue?”

After a brief discussion.

Ye Sang and the other two decided to explore for a few more days.

If they still didn’t find any opportunities, they would retrace their steps and leave this bizarre space.

Li Chang’an had no objection. Even if the others left, he would continue onward until he found Mu Xiaoxiao and the legacy.

As that thought crossed his mind, Midnight arrived.

A golden light materialized before his eyes.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Neutral]

[Under the pretext of Healing, Ye Sang will offer you a Spirit Medicine. However, it is secretly laced with a Tier Three potent poison. You will see through the ruse and refuse it.]

’Poison in the medicine?’

Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he glanced at Ye Sang, who stood not far away.

’Could he be holding a grudge over what happened at Yellow Crane Mountain, planning to poison me to death right here?’

’This place is filled with poisonous mist. Dying from poison would seem perfectly normal; no outsider would suspect a thing.’

Not long after.

The four of them continued forward.

They spread out, each maintaining some distance from the others as they explored slowly.

After a while.

Ye Sang came to Li Chang’an’s side.

With a look of deep concern, he asked kindly, ”Daoist Li, it seems you were injured in that last battle.”

Just as the Divination had predicted.

Under the pretext of Healing, he offered a dose of Spirit Medicine.

Li Chang’an smiled. ”Daoist Ye, my injuries aren’t serious. You should take this Spirit Medicine for yourself. It looks to me like you were hurt pretty badly too.”

”You don’t need to worry, Daoist Li. As a Spirit Doctor, I’m very aware of my own condition.”

”That’s where you’re wrong.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, his tone grave.

”Have you ever heard the saying, Daoist Ye? ’A healer cannot heal himself.’”

”This...”

Ye Sang froze for a moment, a faint sense of unease creeping in.

A Spiritual Light flashed in Li Chang’an’s hand, and an Elixir Pill appeared.

”Daoist Ye, you look pale. You seem to show signs of poisoning. This Elixir Pill is a top-quality Tier Three Detoxification Pill.”

With that, he immediately dissolved the pill’s essence, preparing to transfer the medicinal power into Ye Sang’s body.

Ye Sang’s expression changed, and he immediately blocked it with his Magical Power.

At this point.

How could he not understand? Li Chang’an had already seen through him!

”Daoist Li, can it be that you don’t trust me?”

As he spoke, he made a furtive move, launching more than a dozen nearly invisible Poison Needle Magical Treasures.

At such close range, an ordinary Golden Core Master would have almost certainly been caught in his trap.

In the blink of an eye.

The dozen or so Poison Needles pierced Li Chang’an’s body.

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Sang’s eyes, believing he had succeeded.

However.

The next instant.

Li Chang’an’s body exploded on the spot, turning into a drop of black blood.

This was not his true body, but merely a Blood-Dripping Incarnation.

Immediately after, a green light appeared behind Ye Sang.

The Cyan Wood Divine Light!

With a BOOM, Ye Sang was blasted to pieces before he could react.

He hadn’t practiced Body Refinement, nor had he deployed a Protective Treasure, and was instantly reduced to a pile of bloody flesh.

”Soul Comes!”

Li Chang’an immediately used Summoning Soul, intending to draw the soul into his Venerable Soul Banner.

To his surprise, however, Ye Sang’s Soul did not appear.

He raised a hand, and Ye Sang’s Storage Pouch flew into his grasp. He erased the restriction on it, then opened it for a look.

There were very few Treasures inside, not at all befitting Ye Sang’s status.

’Something’s wrong. This was just an incarnation.’

Li Chang’an frowned, scanning his surroundings.

He had a faint feeling that Ye Sang’s true body was nearby, but the dense gray mist prevented him from pinpointing its exact location.

Just then.

An angry voice rang out.
