Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an’s clone had just been there a few days ago and had managed to snag some High Tier Treasures.

’I didn’t think I’d get another chance to find a bargain so soon.’

A smile touched his lips, and his mood brightened considerably.

The Celestial Grade Divine Sense Secret Technique could not only strengthen his Divine Sense Attacks but could also serve as bait to lure Cui Baihong into a trap he had prepared.

...

「The next day, at the crack of dawn.」

A streak of light tore across the sky and landed on Changqing Mountain, transforming into the figure of Wang Qianling.

Just as the divination had foretold.

She had come today to invite Li Chang’an to go Treasure Hunting in Thousand Treasures Valley.

”Daoist Li, according to my calculations, the time for Thousand Treasures Valley to spew forth Treasures is approaching. Would you be willing to go take a look with me?”

”I was thinking the exact same thing!”

Li Chang’an readily accepted.

Soon, the two left Changqing Mountain and headed to the Central Domain together.

Along the way, Wang Qianling spoke of the many strange phenomena of Thousand Treasures Valley.

Deep beneath Thousand Treasures Valley, there was a powerful repulsive force that prevented anyone from exploring the chasm’s depths, so no one knew where the Treasures came from.

Even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Wang Family and other factions had tried, but all had ended in failure.

For this very reason, Thousand Treasures Valley had not been occupied by any single faction, and its Treasures had never been fully depleted.

It would erupt every so often.

”In recent years, many fissures like Thousand Treasures Valley that spew out Treasures have appeared,” she explained. ”However, the reasons behind the others have long been discovered. Only Thousand Treasures Valley has remained a mystery.”

If one could unravel the mystery, they might be able to obtain all the Treasures.

But no one had ever succeeded.

Li Chang’an had also tried.

He had used several of his clones, trying to delve into the depths beneath Thousand Treasures Valley from various directions to investigate, but all were repelled by that immense repulsive force.

After many failures, he had been forced to give up.

He suspected that the repulsive force was likely caused by some kind of Array.

But his current proficiency in Arrays was insufficient to see through its mysteries.

「A few days later.」

The two arrived at Thousand Treasures Valley.

As far as the eye could see, a chasm stretching for tens of thousands of zhang appeared on the landscape.

Inside and outside Thousand Treasures Valley, the air was buzzing with the clamor of countless people. Cultivators from every faction were present.

Everywhere, both inside and outside the valley, one could see Cultivators setting up stalls to sell Treasures.

The Tiers of many of the Treasures could not be discerned.

’According to the divination, I’ll find the Pottery Jar containing the Celestial Grade Divine Sense Secret Technique outside Thousand Treasures Valley.’

Li Chang’an landed outside Thousand Treasures Valley and discreetly activated his Stone Eye, weaving through the clamoring crowd and scanning the stalls one by one.

Soon, he had selected a simple, ancient-looking Pottery Jar.

The Pottery Jar was covered in several seals that emanated an ancient aura.

As long as the seals remained unbroken, no one could know what was inside.

The stall owner explained, ”I got this item when Thousand Treasures Valley erupted with Treasures. I’ve tried many methods, but I’ve never been able to figure out what’s inside. I’m afraid it might be empty, so I’m selling it. Daoist, are you willing to take a gamble?”

”That’s the idea!”

Li Chang’an smiled, tossed down over a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and bought the Pottery Jar.

Wang Qianling, standing beside him, asked, ”Daoist Li, could it be that you’re skilled in advanced treasure appraisal Skills?”

”Just trying my luck. What would I know about treasure appraisal?”

Li Chang’an chuckled and shook his head, placing the Pottery Jar into his Storage Pouch.

For a while after that, he proceeded to buy more than ten Pottery Jars.

Under the gaze of his Stone Eye, almost every Pottery Jar contained a dense, treasured light.

Among them, the treasured light within one Pottery Jar was particularly dazzling, and it even stirred his Divine Sense.

’This must be the one,’ Li Chang’an thought.

He continued his search, buying several more Pottery Jars in succession.

By this point, he had bought every single Pottery Jar outside Thousand Treasures Valley that showed any treasured light.

In addition, he also picked up more than ten other decent Treasures that others had overlooked.

Seeing him buy things one after another, Wang Qianling grew even more curious.

”Daoist Li, are you sure you don’t know treasure appraisal?”

”I don’t. It’s just a feeling.”

Li Chang’an stood before a stall, casually picking up a stone as he replied with a smile.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from nearby.

”If you don’t know treasure appraisal, don’t just buy things randomly. It’s not easy for a Loose Cultivator to accumulate wealth, so be careful you don’t waste all your Spirit Stones.”

Cui Baihong stood nearby, his expression indifferent as he spoke coldly.

”You needn’t trouble yourself with my affairs, Daoist Cui,” Li Chang’an casually replied.

He had sensed Cui Baihong’s presence long ago but had not made a move.

This place was too crowded and conspicuous.

It was not a good place to make a move.

Li Chang’an noticed a woman with an extraordinary appearance and aura standing next to Cui Baihong.

Wang Qianling sent him a Sound Transmission: ”Daoist Li, that Female Cultivator is the White Tiger Sect’s Saintess, Cui Baiying. She is a Tier Three Top Grade Treasure Appraiser and is quite famous in the Yuan Country’s Cultivation Immortality Realm.”

”A Tier Three Top Grade Treasure Appraiser?”

Li Chang’an was a bit surprised. This was the first time he had ever seen a Treasure Appraiser of such a high Tier.

This particular Skill was very difficult to cultivate. It required one to have seen a vast number of Treasures, making it difficult for an ordinary Loose Cultivator to even reach the Entry-Level.

Wang Qianling sighed. ”This time, I only brought a single Tier Three Low Grade Illusion-Breaking Treasure. I likely won’t be able to compete with her.”

Li Chang’an, however, wasn’t worried.

He had already achieved his goal for this trip, and he possessed the Stone Eye, a Tier Four Treasure Eye.

If Thousand Treasures Valley were to spew out any High Tier Treasures, he would be the first to discover them.

After that, as time passed, a large number of Cultivators arrived from all over.

Through Wang Qianling’s introductions, Li Chang’an met two other Cultivators of considerable status and strength.

The Cyan Dragon Sect’s Saintess, Chi Qingxuan, and the Black Tortoise Sect’s Saint Child, Lin Xuanyan.

”So, Daoist Li is the Loose Cultivator who reached Core Formation with a Low Grade Spirit Root.”

Chi Qingxuan sized him up, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

This Saintess of the Cyan Dragon Sect was different from any Female Cultivator Li Chang’an had ever seen before.

She had a tall, athletic build. Her skin was not fair but a sun-kissed bronze, and her entire being exuded a wildness, as if she were a shapeshifted Demon Beast.

After some conversation, Li Chang’an learned that she was also a Cultivator who practiced both Dharma and Body Cultivation. Her physique had already reached Tier Three Late Stage, and she could withstand attacks from a cultivator at the Late Stage of Golden Core.

Furthermore, he also learned a crucial piece of information.

The Cyan Dragon Sect actually possessed a Tier Four Body Refining Technique!

”Daoist Chi, is it possible for an outsider to trade for this Cultivation Technique?”

”Yes.”
