Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Qin Chuan was extremely pleased and hurriedly packed up his stall.

Meanwhile, Qin Henian sent a transmission to Li Ji’an and Yan Qingwan, telling them to go ahead and notifying them of the need to descend to the Immortal City first.

Seeing Qin Henian and the others packing up to leave, Du Haizang and Xue Ling’Er exchanged a glance.

It was only when they saw the three not heading towards the Shifting Array, but directly flying down to the Immortal City, that they followed.

Once everyone had landed in the Immortal City, Du Haizang silently activated the Dark Gold Holy Bone again.

”Yes, the sensing is still around Qin Henian.”

At this moment, the five people marked by Xue Ling’Er’s Blood Spirit Mark had already left two behind, leaving only Qin Chuan, Li Ji’an, and Qin Henian within the sensing range.

”No surprise, it must be that old scoundrel Qin Henian!”

”Hmph! This person probably has quite a few secrets; he can even evade the investigations of the True Monarchs of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace.” Xue Ling’Er seemed incredulous.

According to their information, Qin Henian has been under the scrutiny of the Sect and the Holy Palace ever since the Liu Family Ancestor fled, seemingly without an opportunity for wrongdoing.

However, they suspected that the Ten Thousand Laws Palace might have given them incorrect info.

As for the people next to Qin Henian, Qin Chuan and an old man, according to their Divine Soul Sensing, one was at the Foundation Establishment Early Period, and the other at the Middle Stage, neither capable of exterminating a Golden Corpse.

Just as Du Haizang activated the Sacred Bone again, Li Ji’an keenly detected a faint sense of disorientation, and upon internal inspection of his Sea of Consciousness, indeed found that faint flickering dark gold glow.

”Not real-time sensing?” Li Ji’an pondered.

Back within the Immortal City, Qin Henian immediately invited Li Ji’an to the highest-grade Immortal River Garden wine house in Celestial River Immortal City.

Du Haizang and the other did not follow, but went elsewhere after returning to the Immortal City.

Given the distance, their Divine Sense could not detect Fake Pill True Man without being discovered, Li Ji’an knew they were certainly relying on that woman’s Blood Spirit Mark placed on the three for remote sensing.

”Could you conveniently reveal your Dao name, and I, Qin, will surely repay generously later?” In the private room, Qin Henian raised a cup and offered a toast.

In the Cultivation Realm, the Celestial Dao is taken as a teacher, but only those who have passed the Core Formation threshold are qualified to create a Dao name.

However, not everyone does.

Especially some who had hoped for a True Pill but unfortunately only ended up with a Fake Pill True Man, Qin Henian didn’t give himself a Dao name.

”The Immortal Path is ethereal, meeting by chance, being called a fellow Daoist is enough.” Li Ji’an smiled lightly, refusing to divulge.

Qin Henian let out a chuckle, not pressing further.

”Alright, fellow Daoist, please drink this cup to the fullest!”

Subsequently, the two exchanged toasts, conversing from Qin Family’s Purple Bamboo to Fu Family’s Guan Mountain Bamboo Sea, and then about strange tales within the Celestial Cyan Domain, having a delightful conversation.

Qin Chuan stood quietly to the side, respectfully pouring wine for them.

After drinking for three days and nights, the three finally left the Immortal River Garden.

This day was also the end of the grand meeting, furthermore, it was the day Si Shui Commerce Association was preparing to finalize the cooperation for high-tier talisman materials.

Upon exiting the Immortal River Garden, they headed straight to Si Shui Commerce Association.

During this period, Li Ji’an was constantly perceiving the movements of the duo, who changed positions daily, but maintained a certain distance without approaching.

Nor did they again activate the Sea of Consciousness type of sensing.

Moreover, he had already confirmed the pair’s magical power was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Period, and unlike ordinary righteous Cultivation Techniques, one had a strong Blood Evil Qi, and the other had heavy Corpse Qi.

Thus, he was completely aware.

The opposite party was most likely demon cultivators who entered the Celestial Cyan Domain from another Cultivation Domain in the northeast direction.

The border had True Pill stationed for the Ten Thousand Laws Palace and sects within the domain, preventing demon cultivators above the Core Formation stage from entering.

Faced with two Foundation Establishment Late Period demon cultivators, Li Ji’an felt relieved.

The only worry was the faint imprint in his Sea of Consciousness.

If this couldn’t be cleared up, he’d be restless day and night, might have to prematurely use his lifeforce to actively Rejuvenate.

After Rejuvenation, everything would be purged, including the imprint in his Sea of Consciousness.

To figure out the origin of the Sea of Consciousness imprint, he could only learn from the mouths of this man and woman, but... given his current trump cards, the opponent being affected by many of his trump cards as demon cultivators, defeating them in a sneak attack is not hard, but capturing alive is difficult.

Additionally, without clearing the mysterious imprint in his Sea of Consciousness, he had become somewhat cautious about killing demon cultivators, uncertain if killing them would mark him again with a Sea of Consciousness imprint.

”Capturing alive is too difficult!” Li Ji’an ultimately gave up the thought of a surprise attack, deciding instead to follow Qin Henian and wait for an opportunity.

This day, as Li Ji’an and Qin Henian entered Si Shui Commerce Association, Du Haizang and Xue Ling’Er stood atop a pavilion, gazing from afar.

”How long is this old scoundrel going to dawdle here?”

”Don’t rush, as the ancestor of the Qin Family, securing the clan internally is His responsibility. Now that Silver Sand Junior Brother is making moves at the new Dao Field in Qin Family in Cangyun State, it would be impossible for him not to return.”

”Senior Brother Du has already arranged for Silver Sand to act? Haha, brilliant strategy, with this, the old scoundrel probably will return soon.”

”Why don’t we first set means on the path he must take?”

”I wholeheartedly agree.”

The two exchanged a glance, ready to leave the city.

Soon, Li Ji’an in Si Shui Commerce Association noticed the pair’s movements; they had already left the Immortal City.

He didn’t hesitate, instructing Gugu, who stayed outside the Immortal City before entering, to follow them.

Inside the Commerce Association,

Li Ji’an and Qin Henian had just sat down in the main hall when an eunuch came graciously inviting Li Ji’an to come inside.

”Sir, please come inside. Our president is reviewing the talisman materials in the inner hall.”

Actually, Li Ji’an had already received a transmission from Master Yu Xiao while at the wine house.

Li Ji’an nodded, saying to Qin Henian, ”Master Qin, accompany me inside.”
