Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"What is this ’Ancestral Blessing’?"

Li Chang’an was knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such a thing.

Jiang Muyu patiently explained.

If she successfully passed the trial, she would receive a reward at the very end of the Land of Trial—a temporary boost to her comprehension.

The method for this temporary boost was left behind by the founding ancestor of Great Qi.

Hence, it was called the Ancestral Blessing.

"That Land of Trial is fraught with danger, but it also holds many Treasures. A Tier Four Phoenix Blood Grass, which you need, might be among them."

Jiang Muyu was also aware of Li Chang’an’s troubles with the Vermilion Bird Sect.

Phoenix Blood Grass.

It was one of the harsh conditions put forth by the Vermilion Bird Sect.

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred. He asked, "Muyu, do you have a way to bring out a stalk of Phoenix Blood Grass for me?"

"Sir, I can take you directly into the Land of Trial."

Jiang Muyu explained that with her status in Great Qi, it wouldn’t be difficult to bring Li Chang’an into the Land of Trial.

However, she couldn’t be certain if the Phoenix Blood Grass was actually there.

A disciple from Great Qi who had participated in the trial once claimed to have seen a stalk by chance.

That stalk of Phoenix Blood Grass was located within an extremely terrifying Poisonous Domain.

He had stumbled into the Poisonous Domain by mistake and barely escaped with his life. At the time, he was afflicted with multiple Illusion Poisons, so it’s possible he saw it incorrectly.

"Sir, according to that disciple, the Poisonous Domain is filled with a large amount of Tier Three and even Quasi-Tier Four Spirit Poison. If you really want to go, you must prepare enough poison-warding Treasures."

"Alright, I understand."

For the sake of the Phoenix Blood Grass, Li Chang’an naturally had to go take a look.

As for poison-warding Treasures... he had the Ten Thousand Poison Gu.

But the Ten Thousand Poison Gu’s Tier was still only at the Tier Three Late Stage, making it difficult to deal with Quasi-Tier Four Spirit Poison.

’I’ll need to get some more Poison Dao Treasures to help this little bug advance to Quasi-Tier Four.’

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered. He changed his identity and entered the Black Market to find Luo Qiantong.

He asked him to keep an eye out for news about Poison Dao Treasures.

Luo Qiantong informed him, "Uncle Li, for the past year, all the Poison Dao Treasures from every region have been collected by the subordinates of Wu Zhe, the Saint Child of the Nether Soul Sect. They’re using them to cultivate Tier Three Poisonous Insects."

"Hm? Wu Zhe isn’t a Cultivator from the Five Poisons Valley. What’s he cultivating Poisonous Insects for?"

"Uncle Li, I’ve heard that Wu Zhe wants to become dao partners with a Saintess from the Five Poisons Valley, so he’s cultivating Poisonous Insects to win her favor."

"So that’s how it is."

Li Chang’an was slightly surprised.

He pinched his fingers together and performed a quick divination, trying to locate the Poison Tomb, but he quickly sensed an interference.

The Poison Tomb was being concealed by a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster using the Power of Divination.

"Qiantong, do you know the location of that Poison Tomb?"

"I do not."

Luo Qiantong shook his head, saying he would have his subordinates pay close attention.

He also mentioned that Wu Zhe’s Demon Cultivator subordinates would come to threaten him every so often, demanding he reveal Li Chang’an’s true identity and hiding place.

"Uncle Li, in a few more days, those Demon Cultivators should be back to threaten me again. You can secretly follow them then. You should be able to find the Poison Tomb that way."

"Alright, I understand."

After their conversation, Li Chang’an left a wisp of his Divine Sense on Luo Qiantong.

In addition, he left a few of his avatars there to wait for the Demon Cultivators’ arrival.

Just as Luo Qiantong had said, a mere three days later, several Demon Cultivators stormed menacingly into the Black Market and barged straight into Luo Qiantong’s secret chamber.

"Luo Qiantong, the Wu Zhe Saint Child’s patience is limited!"

"Where exactly is that Li Fan hiding?"

"If you don’t speak, don’t blame us for being merciless!"

Their expressions were cold and severe. They were powerful, and their auras had all reached the Golden Core realm.

If not for the five Puppets protecting him, Luo Qiantong feared he would have been suffocated by their pressure.

He cupped his hands in a bow and replied helplessly, "Seniors, I’ve only had a few transactions with Li Fan. How could I possibly know his whereabouts? That Li Fan never trusts anyone. I beg you, Seniors, please don’t make things difficult for me."

"You really don’t know?"

"Every word is the truth!"

As he spoke, Luo Qiantong took out several Storage Pouches filled with Spirit Stones.

He stepped forward, his face full of respect.

"Seniors, you’ve worked hard to come all this way. I don’t really have anything to offer as hospitality. Please, accept these."

"Hmph, at least you know the rules!"

The men took the Storage Pouches, asked no more questions, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh.

’As expected of Demon Cultivators. Their minds are filled with nothing but pure self-interest. They can be sent away with just a small benefit.’

He used a Concealing Technique and quietly followed them.

The Demon Cultivators didn’t notice him.

Soon, they entered the area beneath the Chaotic Burial Mound outside the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

’This should be the location of the Poison Tomb.’

Li Chang’an didn’t follow them inside.

He hid in the shadows and observed for a few days.

Over the next few days, he saw Demon Cultivators frequently and quietly entering and exiting the Chaotic Burial Mound.

However, he didn’t see the siblings Wu Zhe and Wu Lan.

After the Yin Soul Sect’s Mountain Gate was destroyed by Huang Sha True Monarch, the pair went into hiding for a while before re-establishing the Yin Soul Sect’s Mountain Gate elsewhere.

Now, they should be at the Yin Soul Sect’s new Spiritual Land.

Before long, Li Chang’an secretly captured a Golden Core Demon Cultivator.

After interrogating him, he performed Refinement to turn him into a Puppet and controlled its body to enter the Poison Tomb.

WHOOSH...

A wave of sinister, cold Qi rushed to meet him.

The Poison Tomb was located extremely deep beneath the Chaotic Burial Mound.

Li Chang’an walked through a dark, gloomy tunnel thick with sinister Qi.

On both sides of the tunnel were secret chambers used for cultivating Poisonous Corpses.

The deeper he went, the stronger the auras of the Poisonous Corpses he sensed became.

In the dozen or so chambers at the very end, the auras of the Poisonous Corpses had all reached Tier Three.

’Back then, the Five Poison Wanderer spent his entire life trying and failing to cultivate a single Tier Three Poisonous Insect. Yet there are at least a dozen here. This is the difference resources make.’

Li Chang’an walked into a secret chamber and casually looked around.

Inside this secret chamber were two Poisonous Corpses, completely rotten and emitting a dark green poisonous mist.
