Eternal Life by Daily Divination

If Li Chang’an didn’t bring it up, they couldn’t very well ask.

Li Chang’an saw their confusion and smiled. ”You must all be wondering how I managed to kill those two, right?”

Zi Yun immediately nodded, her pretty face filled with curiosity.

”Daoist Li, the quality of your Core Formation is only a Mid Grade True Pill, not an Immortal or Half-step Immortal Golden Core. By all rights, it should be very difficult for you to fight above your level. Was the Magic you just used particularly unique?”

”No, it was just a normal Celestial Grade Magic.”

As he spoke, Li Chang’an used a spell to alter his aura, allowing a hint of weakness to emanate from him.

Sensing this weakness, understanding dawned on the others.

Wu Shuo asked, ”Daoist Li, did you use an Elixir Pill that forcibly draws out one’s potential?”

”That’s right.”

”So that’s how it is.”

This was an explanation they could all accept.

Li Chang’an was a Tier Three Top Grade Alchemist, after all. He might have mastered some powerful Ancient Pill Formulas.

Certain Elixir Pills could forcibly draw out one’s potential, allowing them to unleash terrifying power for a short time.

However, after that burst of power, it would damage their potential and affect their future cultivation path.

For a genius expected to reach Nascent Soul Formation, such an Elixir Pill was out of the question.

But Li Chang’an only had a Low Grade Spirit Root, so it didn’t matter if his potential was damaged. The Middle Stage of Golden Core was his limit anyway.

Li Chang’an smiled. ”I may have seemed unharmed earlier, but I was just putting on a brave face to intimidate Wei Xu and the others, forcing them to retreat.”

”Haha, truly impressive, Daoist Li!”

”If Wei Xu ever learned the truth, he’d be absolutely fuming!”

Believing they understood the truth, everyone smiled.

Zi Xi lightly raised her jade-like hand, and a pure white Elixir Pill materialized in her palm.

A moment later, the pill floated over to Li Chang’an, exuding a rich Pill Fragrance.

”Daoist Li, this is a Jade Mushroom Pill. It can help restore some of your damaged potential. Please, take it.”

”Thank you, Saintess!”

Li Chang’an didn’t refuse and accepted it at once.

He had long heard of the famous Jade Mushroom Pill.

The Pill Formula for this elixir was also exclusive to the Purple Mist Sect. It could indeed restore some of one’s potential, making it even more precious than the Purple Spirit Pill.

A single Jade Mushroom Pill once appeared at an auction in the Central Domain, selling for the astronomical price of 300,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones!

This showed just how generous Zi Xi was being.

Of course, for an insider like her, the Jade Mushroom Pill was likely not that expensive, probably just a little more than the cost to produce it.

After resting for a moment, the group scattered once more, Treasure Hunting within the vast ruins.

This time, the members of the Yellow Sand Sect did not come to interfere.

They were on the other side of the ruins, keeping a great distance from the Purple Mist Sect group and minding their own business.

Li Chang’an, along with Zi Yun and Wu Shuo, headed toward the place where he had sensed the Tier Four Turtle Shell.

It was a majestic White Jade Palace.

The three of them landed in front of the palace.

The main hall alone was hundreds of feet tall, making the three of them look as tiny as ants.

”Could this place be the residence of a Divination Master?”

They all noticed that the White Jade Pillars supporting the palace were carved with all sorts of Celestial Phenomena.

Typically, only Cultivators who practiced Divination Skills would observe Celestial Phenomena to predict good and bad fortune.

The three entered the palace to explore.

Deep inside the palace, in the dark and silent depths, a low Jade Table came into view.

On the Jade Table lay the very Tier Four Turtle Shell that Li Chang’an had sensed.

The Turtle Shell was a pure, jade-like white and exuded a mysterious aura. Its surface was covered with innumerable, complex Spirit Patterns.

A single glance at it was enough to make Wu Shuo and Zi Yun feel dazzled, even causing them a moment of dizziness.

Li Chang’an asked, ”This item is useful to me. Would you two mind if I took it?”

”Go ahead and take it, Daoist Li.”

”I can’t make heads or tails of it, so it’s useless to me.”

Neither of them had any objections.

They could both sense that this Turtle Shell was of a very high Tier.

If it had been useless to Li Chang’an, they might have vied for it. Even if they couldn’t use it themselves, they could have traded it for other Treasures.

But since Li Chang’an had a use for it, that was a different matter entirely.

Their gazes shifted from the Turtle Shell to a yellowed Jade Scroll lying beside it.

”What could be inside this Jade Scroll? Could it be a Divination legacy?”

To be on the safe side, Zi Yun didn’t touch it directly, instead using a Puppet to pick it up.

A moment later, a look of surprise crossed her face.

”It’s not a legacy, just a few words.”

”What do they say?”

”You’ll know once you hear it, Daoist Wu.”

She handed the Jade Scroll to Wu Shuo.

Soon, a look of astonishment also appeared on Wu Shuo’s face.

”So this place really is a Palace of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty!”

With that, he handed the Jade Scroll to Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an took the Jade Scroll and extended his Divine Sense into it, soon hearing an aged voice.

”His Majesty summoned us to discuss a matter. He said he has found a path to Ascension and wishes for the entire dynasty to ascend, ordering us to make preparations. But how could Ascension be so easy?”

”My mind is unsettled. I performed a Divination for the Great Jin, but the result was pure chaos.”

”This Ascension... will it truly lead us to the Immortal Realm? That Immortal Realm... it seems it doesn’t even exist...”

There were only those few short sentences.

It must have been left by a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

His words were filled with worry, a clear sign that he was not optimistic about the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s attempt at a nationwide Ascension.

Li Chang’an lowered the Jade Scroll and looked out of the palace, his gaze fixed on the deep, tranquil sky, lost in thought.

’Is there really an Immortal Realm?’

”There should be.”

Zi Yun spoke slowly, her voice gentle.

”The two words ’Immortal Realm’ appear in many incomplete ancient records, but none of them specify where it is.”

”As for whether the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty truly ascended, no one knows.”
