Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Profound Water Turtle’s Advancement
Li Chang’an had originally thought this Soul Banner was something Lu Yuanji had commissioned someone to refine.
But looking at it now, it was most likely an Ancient Treasure he had obtained in some Secret Realm!
’I should just give this to my Tribulation Cultivator identity to use,’ Li Chang’an thought.
He couldn’t use it himself.
If anyone discovered he possessed a Venerable Soul Banner, then, even if he wasn’t a Tribulation Cultivator, he would be treated as one!
Even Tribulation Cultivators rarely possessed such an item.
Li Chang’an put it away and continued to inspect the remaining Treasures.
’The rest of the items are all pretty standard, nothing particularly special.’
About an hour later, Li Chang’an finished taking inventory.
All in all, his gains had been substantial, with the greatest prize being, of course, the Nine-leafed Blue Flower!
’Time to find Senior Zhou Sheng and trade for the Profound Crystal.’
Li Chang’an got up, left the residence, and decided to find Zhou Xuan first.
…
「At the same time.」
At the foot of Yellow Crane Mountain, inside a courtyard residence.
Huang Feng sat cross-legged, circulating his Cultivation Technique to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power.
He had long since recovered from his injuries, and his Cultivation was steadily rising.
「A moment later.」
He stopped circulating his technique, opened his eyes, and looked at his senior brother, Huang Liang, who was not far away.
“Senior Brother, is that Big Master of Black Wind Mountain really capable? It’s been so long, why hasn’t there been any news?”
“Don’t be impatient!” Huang Liang smiled, his tone relaxed.
“That Lu Yuanji is no ordinary Tribulation Cultivator. He was once a disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, and his strength is considerable. Moreover, his Skin Painting Technique is exceptionally bizarre. It’s impossible for Li Chang’an to have seen through it.”
Hearing this, Huang Feng asked no more questions.
Since his senior brother had said so, he didn’t mind waiting a little longer.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before good news arrived!
…
「In the Inner City of the Immortal City, inside a residence where the Spiritual Power concentration was nearing Tier Two.」
Li Chang’an met with Zhou Xuan.
He cupped his hands and smiled. “Daoist Zhou, I’ll have to trouble you to help me contact Senior Zhou Sheng.”
“Oh? Daoist Li, could it be that you’ve obtained one of the three Treasures?”
“That’s right!”
“Haha, Daoist Li, you truly are a person of deep fortune!”
Zhou Xuan’s face was all smiles, but he couldn’t help but feel envious.
Those three Treasures. Any one of them was extremely rare, almost impossible for a Qi Refining Cultivator to obtain.
Yet Li Chang’an had actually gotten one!
Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but suspect that the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator behind Li Chang’an had made a move.
Anything that happened to Li Chang’an could have been arranged by that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
’Sigh, you just can’t compare people. What exactly did that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator see in Daoist Li? Could it be just because of his good looks?’
Zhou Xuan sighed to himself, subconsciously touching his own cheek.
In terms of talent and strength, he was no less than Li Chang’an.
But when it came to looks, he was indeed inferior.
Before long, a Foundation Establishment aura approached the residence.
Zhou Sheng had arrived!
“Greetings, Senior!”
Li Chang’an bowed deeply, his attitude perfectly respectful.
Zhou Sheng wore a gentle smile, his expression kind.
“There’s no need for that, little friend. You and I are both just seekers of immortality, stumbling along the Immortal Dao.”
As he spoke, he sent out a gentle stream of Spiritual Power, lifting Li Chang’an up.
After the two exchanged a few words, Li Chang’an took the wondrous flower from his Storage Pouch.
“It really is the Nine-leafed Blue Flower!”
Zhou Sheng’s eyes lit up. He took the flower from Li Chang’an, examining it closely and confirming its extremely high quality!
He was exceptionally pleased with it, and the smile on his face grew wider.
Then, he also took out the item Li Chang’an needed.
“Little friend, this is the Profound Crystal you require.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Li Chang’an knew full well that he had gotten the better end of this deal by a large margin.
Although the Nine-leafed Blue Flower was rare, its value couldn’t compare to the Profound Crystal.
The only reason Zhou Sheng was willing to make the trade was because he had no interest in Beast Taming, so keeping the Profound Crystal was useless to him.
’The quality of this Profound Crystal is also quite high!’
Li Chang’an took the Profound Crystal and examined it carefully.
The Treasure was completely transparent and deep blue in color. It was free of any impurities, looking like a piece of pure blue crystal.
Its quality was even higher than Li Chang’an had imagined.
Overjoyed, he immediately put it away.
…
「A quarter of an hour later.」
Li Chang’an bid farewell to Zhou Sheng and Zhou Xuan.
Instead of returning to his own residence, he went to rent a Tier Two Cave Mansion.
To ensure there were no mistakes, the Spiritual Power had to be sufficiently dense for the breakthrough.
To be on the safe side, he set up the Thundercloud Annihilation Array, the Hundred Swords Spirit Slaying Array, and other Arrays inside the Cave Mansion to prevent any accidents.
After all the arrangements were made, Li Chang’an released the Profound Water Turtle from its Spirit Beast Bag.
“Xiaohai, today is the day of your advancement!”
The Profound Water Turtle blinked its eyes, conveying a sense of joy.
It had been suppressing itself for a long time for this very day!
Seeing that it was in good condition, Li Chang’an immediately took out all the Treasures he had prepared.
Spirit Medicines, Elixir Pills, Water Element Treasures, and so on—there were over thirty types in total.
The most precious among them was, of course, the Profound Crystal!
The moment it appeared, the entire interior of the Cave Mansion was bathed in a dreamlike, deep blue halo.
“Let’s begin!”
Li Chang’an’s expression turned serious. He retreated to the entrance of the Cave Mansion to guard it during the breakthrough.
As its master, he had done all he could. Now, whether or not it could advance was all up to the Profound Water Turtle itself!
Inside the Cave Mansion, the Profound Water Turtle did not rush to swallow the advancement Treasures. Instead, it regulated its breathing for a while.
When its condition reached its Peak, it opened its mouth wide and instantly sucked all the Treasures into its belly!
The next instant, its entire body trembled.
BOOM!
A profound, dark blue halo spread out from its body, containing a terrifying power that made the entire Cave Mansion shudder!
Immediately after, the aura around it began to climb steadily, skyrocketing at a rapid pace!
In the blink of an eye, it surpassed the limit of a Tier One Demon Beast.
At the same time, some of the external Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power gradually gathered here, but it wasn’t very noticeable.
This was because Demon Beasts focused more on the transformation of their physical bodies, so their requirement for Spiritual Power wasn’t high. As a result, the commotion from breaking through to Tier Two was minimal.
The disturbance at this moment couldn’t compare to the spectacle of Zheng Qingqing’s breakthrough that day.
It seemed as if someone was merely breaking through a minor realm inside the Cave Mansion. It looked completely normal and didn’t attract any attention.
…
「Several hours later.」
On its Turtle Shell, one profound pattern after another began to light up.
Powerful Water Element Magical Power swirled around it, and one could faintly hear the sound of surging tides!
The entire Cave Mansion was filled with a wave-like, deep blue light, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
’It’s the critical moment.’
Li Chang’an’s brows were tightly furrowed as he stared intently at the Profound Water Turtle, constantly monitoring its condition.
He secretly clenched his fists, unable to help feeling a little nervous.
The Profound Water Turtle’s aura had long since surpassed Tier One, but it had yet to break through to the Tier Two level. It was still rising, but the pace was slowing down.
It seemed to be approaching some kind of limit.
「About eight minutes later.」
Finally, with a “CRACK” sound, it was as if some shackle had been shattered.
The Profound Water Turtle’s aura suddenly skyrocketed. Formidable Demonic Power burst forth as it entered a whole new level!
The pressure emanating from its body was in no way weaker than that of an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Feeling this pressure, Li Chang’an finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.
“It succeeded!”
