Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"I can trade for it?"

Li Chang’an couldn’t help but be astonished.

He had only asked casually, never thinking he could actually obtain such a Body Refining Technique.

A Body Refining Technique that had reached Tier Four, even in a Nascent Soul Major Sect like the Cyan Dragon Sect, was extremely precious. How could an outsider possibly trade for it?

"It can indeed be traded for, but there are conditions."

Chi Qingxuan generously informed him that the Body Refining Technique she cultivated was called the Cyan Dragon Body Refining Technique, a unique Tier Four Body Refining Technique of the Cyan Dragon Sect.

According to the Sect’s rules.

Only Core Disciples of the Cyan Dragon Sect could cultivate this Body Refining Technique.

The Tier Four content within it required the permission of a Nascent Soul True Monarch to be redeemed from the Library.

However.

There were always exceptions to the rule.

In the Cyan Dragon Sect’s ten-thousand-year history, the technique had been gifted to outsiders several times.

Those few individuals, although not members of the Cyan Dragon Sect, had all made extremely significant contributions to the Sect.

After signing a Spirit Contract and making a daoist oath to guarantee they would not leak the technique, the Cyan Dragon Sect made a special exception for them.

Chi Qingxuan said very directly, "Daoist Li, if you wish to obtain this technique, you can also emulate those predecessors and make a major contribution to my Cyan Dragon Sect."

"What kind of contribution counts as major?"

Li Chang’an immediately asked.

Soon.

He learned the specific details from Chi Qingxuan.

Of those predecessors, one had slain a Demonic Nascent Soul True Monarch for the Cyan Dragon Sect, and another had helped the Sect find a peerless genius with a Celestial Spirit Root and an Innate Spiritual Body.

The deeds of the others were similar, and all were shocking to hear about.

Li Chang’an was currently in no position to accomplish such feats.

With his current level of strength.

If he were to face a Demonic Nascent Soul directly, he’d probably be devoured alive!

Chi Qingxuan chuckled lightly. "Daoist Li, there’s no need to be discouraged. Your time in cultivation is still short. Perhaps you’ll get an opportunity in the future."

"Thank you for telling me, Daoist Chi."

Li Chang’an cupped his hands in thanks.

In any case.

He finally knew the whereabouts of a Tier Four Body Refining Technique and how to obtain it.

Beside them, the Black Tortoise Saint Child, Lin Xuanyan, asked, "Daoist Li, are you practicing the Path of Body Refining for the sake of close-quarters combat?"

"No, I just want more ways to protect my life."

"Haha, Daoist Li, you really are just like the rumors say. Everyone calls you a Turtle, but I think it’s just being prudent!"

Lin Xuanyan wore a smile, appearing quite friendly.

He told Li Chang’an, "Within my Sect, I’ve also been called a Turtle. That’s why I felt an instant kinship with you, Daoist Li; you seem very approachable."

"I felt the same way about you, Daoist Lin."

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, and he wasn’t just being polite.

This Lin Xuanyan was born with the Profound Turtle Spirit Body and was the foremost among the many Holy Sons and Saintesses of the Black Tortoise Sect. His strength was especially formidable, yet he rarely fought with others.

His personality was similar to Li Chang’an’s; he spent all his years cooped up within his Sect.

He wouldn’t touch any opportunity if the danger was too great or there were too many uncertain factors.

For this very reason.

He also had the title of "Turtle."

Even the Armor on his body, just like Li Chang’an’s, was something he had shamelessly begged his master to have refined from a Tier Four Turtle Shell.

When the two met, it was like one Turtle meeting another.

They hit it off splendidly!

Just as they were chatting.

The entire Thousand Treasures Valley suddenly trembled.

Immediately after, a wisp of cold intent rose from the depths of the earth, and the faint sound of a rushing Wind could be heard.

"It’s about to start!"

Everyone immediately headed deeper into Thousand Treasures Valley, arriving at the edge of the fissure and occupying the best spots.

This group of theirs, as the Holy Sons and Saintesses of their respective Sects, were all famous in their own right.

Therefore.

Even though they took the best positions, no outsiders dared to say anything.

Li Chang’an, on the other hand, benefited from their association. As a Loose Cultivator, he too was standing at the edge of the fissure in an excellent position.

His eyes were profound as he gazed into the depths of the fissure, seeing only a cold, deep darkness.

’According to past records, the duration of each eruption of Treasures from Thousand Treasures Valley varies. The shortest is half an hour, while the longest is two hours. Time is limited.’

’If you want to get any of the Treasures inside, you have to do your utmost to resist that cold Qi.’

This wasn’t Li Chang’an’s first time coming for Treasures, so he was reasonably familiar with the process.

That cold Qi, which carried the Treasures, was incredibly powerful. It would fight against and repel a Cultivator’s Magical Power, making the process of obtaining Treasures quite difficult.

For that reason.

Even Golden Core Cultivators couldn’t obtain too many Treasures.

The vast majority of Golden Core Cultivators would not obtain more than ten Treasures.

At that moment.

Cui Baihong, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up.

"Li Chang’an, do you dare to compete with me?"

"What does Daoist Cui want to compete in?"

Li Chang’an glanced at him and responded nonchalantly.

Cui Baihong pointed toward the depths of the fissure.

"Let’s compete on the value of the Treasures we obtain. If the total value of my Treasures is higher than yours, you’ll give all of your Treasures to me, and vice versa. Do you dare to try?"

"Not interested."

Li Chang’an shook his head, his tone completely indifferent.

Cui Baihong said coldly, "Cultivation itself is a journey to defy the heavens. One must strive to seize every opportunity. If you don’t dare to fight for anything, how can you go further on the path of cultivation?"

"I must disagree!"

Before Li Chang’an could even speak, the Black Tortoise Saint Child, Lin Xuanyan, spoke up for him.

Lin Xuanyan cupped his hands and said to Cui Baihong.

"Daoist Cui, on the path of cultivation, one should prioritize stability, not blindly seek speed."

"Another Turtle!"

Cui Baihong snorted coldly.

Lin Xuanyan paid it no mind, still smiling broadly. He was long accustomed to that title.

After that.

Cui Baihong tried to challenge him several more times, but Li Chang’an consistently refused.

Faced with Li Chang’an’s completely uncaring attitude, he was truly at a loss and had to give up.
