Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"Li Chang’an, if you had been willing to give my Xu Family more resources, I would never have been pushed to this point! You truly are a cold-hearted man!"

Xu Jingxian roared.

He was actually blaming Li Chang’an for his own inability to reach Foundation Establishment.

In his mind, Li Chang’an should have been fully supporting the Xu Family, providing them with a massive amount of Foundation Establishment Resources.

"So that’s what you think."

Li Chang’an’s tone was calm, not at all surprised.

He had met too many people in his life; those with ideas even more bizarre than this man’s were a dime a dozen. He was long used to it.

Even if he had truly given the Xu Family a massive amount of Foundation Establishment Resources, someone within the family would have still complained about why he wasn’t providing Core Formation resources.

At that moment, Qi Jingyun spoke up. "Li Chang’an, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you cooperate and help me capture Jiang Muyu alive, I can let you go."

As she spoke, the Ten Great Golden Core Masters all pressed closer.

They summoned their Magical Treasures one after another, their auras overwhelming.

"Li Chang’an, if you refuse to cooperate, don’t blame me for being merciless," one of them shouted coldly. "I come from the Great Qi Celestial Prison and am an expert in the art of interrogation. I have plenty of ways to make you cooperate!"

The other nine also spoke out, trying to intimidate Li Chang’an into submission.

Faced with ten Late Stage Golden Core cultivators, an ordinary Early Stage Golden Core Cultivator would have likely abandoned all hope long ago.

But Li Chang’an remained silent.

Suddenly, his figure flickered.

In an instant, ten explosions rang out as one, overlapping so perfectly they sounded like a single thunderous roar that echoed between heaven and earth.

The ten Late Stage Golden Core cultivators were all grievously injured, plummeting into the mountains below.

The pungent stench of blood filled the air.

Qi Jingyun’s whole body went stiff, her expression numb as she stared blankly at the scene.

She had intended to order the ten men to capture Li Chang’an alive, then refine him into a Puppet to influence Jiang Muyu.

But before she could even give the order, the ten of them had fallen before her very eyes.

Defeating ten Late Stage Golden Core Cultivators in an instant!

Such power was far beyond what her previous investigations had led her to believe.

"How... how can this be..."

She mumbled, as if she had lost her soul.

At her side, Xu Jingxian’s face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror.

He had thought this was all over, that he would soon get his Foundation Establishment Resources, successfully reach Foundation Establishment, become a Foundation Establishment Ancestor, and enjoy a life of glory and wealth.

But in the blink of an eye, the fantasy in his mind was ruthlessly shattered.

"Disperse!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Chang’an made the dozen or so Tier Three Arrays dissipate.

No power remained to protect Qi Jingyun and Xu Jingxian.

He casually cast a large net, binding Qi Jingyun and stuffing her into his Spirit Beast Bag.

He collected the other ten Golden Core Cultivators as well.

Then, he turned to look at Xu Jingxian.

Xu Jingxian trembled all over.

His face was filled with panic and endless regret as he began to beg for his life, trembling.

"Ancestor... Ancestor, spare me! Ancestor, I didn’t want to do this! The people from the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty forced me! They forced me to say those things too! I never thought of betraying Changqing Mountain! I beg you, Ancestor, for the sake of my Xu Family..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was crushed into a bloody mist by the pressure of Li Chang’an’s Golden Core aura.

Li Chang’an casually erased all traces of the event and tossed his Soul into the Venerable Soul Banner.

"Evil Soul, since Fugui doesn’t know how to teach his descendants, you can teach this one a proper lesson for him."

"You got it!"

The Evil Soul let out a few cackles, its face vicious as it dragged Xu Jingxian’s Soul into a small, dark room.

"You can rest assured. I’ll make this brat experience every torture method of the Nine Great Sects. I’ll make him understand the true meaning of regret."

"Mm."

Li Chang’an gave a slight nod and paid it no further mind.

He returned to Changqing Mountain, tossed Qi Jingyun out of the Spirit Beast Bag, sealed his cave residence, and activated an Array to cut it off from the outside world.

He didn’t plan on telling Jiang Muyu about this, as it involved the Faith Technique.

He opened Qi Jingyun’s Storage Pouch to take a look.

Inside the Storage Pouch, there weren’t that many Treasures—only slightly more than what the ten Late Golden Core Stage Cultivators had possessed.

Li Chang’an searched through it carefully but found nothing related to the Faith Technique.

He put the Storage Pouch away and looked at Qi Jingyun.

"Qi Jingyun, do you want to live?"

"I..."

Qi Jingyun trembled. It was only then that she finally recovered from the shock of seeing ten men defeated in an instant.

Her eyes were filled with terror as she asked, trembling, "Li Chang’an, you... why are you so strong? Could it be... you’ve already become a Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

"If I were a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would you still be alive right now?"

Li Chang’an’s voice was cold.

With a thought, he made the Large Net Treasure constrict.

Qi Jingyun immediately let out a pained grunt, her body covered in a crisscrossing network of bloody marks from the net’s grip.

Amidst the intense pain and terror, she was forced to beg for mercy. "Li Chang’an, don’t kill me! I’ll do anything you ask."

"Good. Then bring me the Faith Technique of the Qi Country."

"That’s..."

Qi Jingyun opened her mouth, seemingly in a difficult position. A pleading look appeared on her pretty face.

But Li Chang’an remained indifferent.

"As a disciple of the Great Qi Royal Family, you can’t even obtain the Faith Technique?"

"I’m just a Golden Core Race Member, not a Nascent Soul cultivator! How could I possibly get the Faith Technique?"

Qi Jingyun hurriedly explained.

She didn’t have the Faith Technique, nor was it possible for her to obtain it.

Even if she became a Great Qi Saintess, she wouldn’t be qualified to receive the Faith Technique unless she performed exceptionally well among the many Saint Children and Saintesses and distinguished herself from the rest.

According to the rules of Great Qi, the most outstanding individual would receive the full backing of the dynasty, cultivated to become its next Nascent Soul.

Among the remaining Saint Children and Saintesses, the best would then be able to obtain the Faith Technique.
