Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Fire Cloud Crystal?

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred.

He had come to this Secret Realm World for the sole purpose of finding Fire Cloud Crystals.

He hadn’t expected to hear the name of this Treasure so soon.

’These siblings are only Qi Refining Cultivators, yet they possess a Tier Four Treasure like a Fire Cloud Crystal. Could it be that Fire Cloud Crystals aren’t that rare in this world?’

This was good news, Li Chang’an thought.

He had been worried that the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty had over-mined the area back in the day, depleting the entire Secret Realm of its Fire Cloud Crystals.

Now, it seemed his worst-case scenario had not come to pass.

As he mused, the group drew ever closer.

The Yao Family Siblings’ auras were in disarray, and their Magical Power was almost completely depleted.

The Female Cultivator gritted her teeth and said, "Ah Feng, just hold on a little longer. As soon as we offer the Fire Cloud Crystal to the Divine King, we’ll be safe."

"Sister, you go on ahead! I’ll hold them off!"

The male cultivator’s face was set with determination; he intended to stay behind and fight off their pursuers.

Ignoring the female cultivator’s protests, he was about to burn his own life force.

Just then, Li Chang’an dropped his concealment and appeared before the two of them.

His sudden appearance gave them both quite a shock.

Before this moment, they hadn’t sensed Li Chang’an’s presence at all.

The Female Cultivator reacted instantly and pleaded for help. "Senior, this junior is Yao Yun, a Cultivator from the Yao Family of Fire Rock City. This is my younger brother, Yao Feng. I beg you, Senior, please save our lives."

As she spoke, Yao Yun’s entire body was tense, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She knew in her heart that Li Chang’an’s strength must be far greater than her and her brother’s.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take a gamble.

If Li Chang’an was a Righteous Cultivator, he might intervene to save them. But if he was a Tribulation Cultivator, then she and her brother would surely die today!

Li Chang’an said nonchalantly, "Let me see that Fire Cloud Crystal."

Hearing this, Yao Yun’s heart sank.

She gritted her teeth, took a Jade Box from her Storage Pouch, and presented it to Li Chang’an.

"Senior, the Fire Cloud Crystal is inside."

"Mm."

Li Chang’an gave a slight nod and accepted the Jade Box.

He opened the Jade Box.

A fiery red Crystal Stone, the size of a grain of sand, appeared before his eyes.

Li Chang’an carefully sensed it. The Crystal Stone was filled with a scorching Fire Element aura, which made the Qi and blood in his body stir with activity. It was indeed a Fire Cloud Crystal.

According to the records, the Fire Cloud Crystal was not only a Fire Element Treasure, but also a Treasure required for Tier Four Body Refinement.

However, the Fire Cloud Crystal required by the Vermilion Bird Sect was the size of a human head.

What Li Chang’an had before him was far too little—practically nothing in comparison.

’I’ve just arrived in this world and know nothing about it. I’ll start with these siblings and figure out a way to obtain more Fire Cloud Crystals,’ he thought to himself as he looked at the tiny Fire Cloud Crystal.

Just then, the Tribulation Cultivators surrounded him.

The one in the lead had reached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

"You, kid! Hand over the Fire Cloud Crystal, or don’t blame this master for being merciless!" he roared, his expression hostile.

The others all wore vicious expressions, staring intently at Li Chang’an.

The Yao siblings were filled with apprehension, their nervous gazes frequently flicking to the Fire Cloud Crystal in Li Chang’an’s hand.

They were both worried that Li Chang’an would be no match for them.

But they had no other choice now.

"Ah Feng, quickly take these Elixir Pills and restore your Magical Power. If this Senior isn’t their match, we’ll have to find a way to fight our way out."

Yao Yun took several Elixir Pills from her Storage Pouch, relaying the message to her brother via a secret Sound Transmission.

With Li Chang’an’s level of Cultivation, he could naturally overhear the Sound Transmission.

He said nothing, merely turning his gaze to the ferocious-looking cultivators.

"You’re Tribulation Cultivators?"

"Obviously! If I wasn’t a Tribulation Cultivator, why would I be robbing you?"

"Do you have any Fire Cloud Crystals? Never mind, I’ll see for myself..."

Li Chang’an raised a hand and made a gesture.

All of their Storage Pouches flew into his hand at once.

Seeing this, the Tribulation Cultivators’ faces paled.

They couldn’t even protect their own Storage Pouches!

The power that had taken their Storage Pouches was so immense it was suffocating.

"This man is too powerful to fight! Retreat!"

The leader of the Tribulation Cultivators immediately tried to flee.

But to his horror, he found he couldn’t move an inch, pinned in place by an overwhelming force.

It was the same for the other Tribulation Cultivators; their faces were all filled with panic and terror.

"Senior, spare us!"

"This junior was blind and failed to recognize greatness! I beg you, Senior, be magnanimous and let this junior go!"

"This junior is willing to be your beast of burden, your slave..."

One by one, their faces deathly pale and consumed by terror, they began to beg for mercy.

Standing to the side, the Yao siblings were dumbfounded, scarcely able to believe what they were seeing. They hadn’t detected any fluctuation of Magical Power at all.

Li Chang’an had suppressed these vicious Tribulation Cultivators with just a hint of his aura!

What level of Cultivation did he have?

He was likely an entire Major Realm above all of them!

Li Chang’an paid no mind to their thoughts.

He was busy inspecting the Tribulation Cultivators’ Storage Pouches.

To his disappointment, there were no Fire Cloud Crystals in the Tribulation Cultivators’ Storage Pouches, only a few inexpensive Low Tier Treasures.

He withdrew his Divine Sense, looked at the two siblings, and tossed the tiny Fire Cloud Crystal back to them.

Yao Yun hurriedly caught it and asked apprehensively, "Senior, you don’t need the Fire Cloud Crystal?"

"I have been cultivating in the mountains for many years and have long forgotten what the outside world is like. I have a few questions. If you two answer them well, you can have all the Treasures in these Tribulation Cultivators’ Storage Pouches."

Hearing this, the two siblings were overjoyed.

Yao Feng said respectfully, "Senior, please ask. We will tell you everything we know!"

"Very well. I want to know, what is this Fire Cloud Crystal used for?"

Hearing this question, the siblings glanced at each other, confusion in their eyes.
