Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 169 - 163: Li Chang’an Kills a Foundation Establishment Cultivator
Chapter 169: Chapter 163: Li Chang’an Kills a Foundation Establishment Cultivator
Zheng Qingqing wanted to annihilate the Wu Family!
Her tone was resolute. Clearly, she had made up her mind and would not change it.
The Zheng Family and the Wu Family had been enemies for many years.
Now, the Zheng Family boasted three Foundation Establishment cultivators, their strength far exceeding what it once was.
Meanwhile, the Wu Family only had a single ancestor at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.
The disparity in their strength was immense.
After annihilating the Wu Family, the Zheng Family could focus on dealing with the Cao Family.
“Young Miss, are you certain you want to destroy the Wu Family?”
Li Chang’an asked in a solemn tone.
Annihilating a Foundation Establishment Family would have significant repercussions.
After all, in the eyes of countless low-level Loose Cultivators, Foundation Establishment Families were lofty and indestructible.
Zheng Qingqing replied, “Daoist Li, my mind is made up. In this battle, we will annihilate the Wu Family!”
“Alright, then!”
Li Chang’an immediately took out an Array-Breaking Treasure.
The Spirit-Breaking Alms Bowl!
Upon seeing the Treasure, a flicker of surprise crossed Zheng Qingqing’s beautiful face.
’She had only come to ask on a whim, never expecting that Li Chang’an would actually have something like this.’
’It seems Li Chang’an has more secrets than I imagined!’
“Young Miss, this is the Spirit-Breaking Alms Bowl. It can break a Tier Two Low Grade Array.”
Li Chang’an explained simply.
Naturally, he was quite supportive of annihilating the Wu Family.
He hadn’t forgotten.
The first time his Divination had shown a calamitous omen, it was because of the Wu Family Ancestor!
At the time, the Divination had indicated that a traitor would appear within the Zheng Family, creating a flaw in the Qinghe Marketplace’s Grand Array. The Cao Family Ancestor and the Wu Family Ancestor would then storm the Marketplace.
Li Chang’an would be gravely wounded by the Wu Family Ancestor, and his two Spirit Beasts would die in battle protecting him.
The contents of such a tragic Divination were still fresh in his mind.
「A few days ago」
The Wu Family Ancestor had accepted the Cao Family’s invitation and traveled a great distance to Yellow Crane Immortal City, all just to kill a minor figure like him.
All in all, they now had two grudges between them.
However, thanks to his Divination, both potential conflicts had been neutralized before they could erupt.
“Young Miss, are you confident about this battle?”
“I am.”
“When do you plan to act?”
“In three days!”
After their conversation, Li Chang’an learned the time and details of Zheng Qingqing’s plan.
She had set the date for three days later because an auction was being held in the interim, featuring a Treasure she needed.
Zheng Qingqing accepted the Spirit-Breaking Alms Bowl, promising to return the Treasure to Li Chang’an after the Wu Family was destroyed.
Furthermore, Li Chang’an would also receive a share of the Treasures from the Wu Family Treasure Vault!
Before she left, she asked one more question.
“Daoist Li, will you accompany me in destroying the Wu Family?”
“Uh… I think I’ll pass.”
Li Chang’an immediately shook his head.
’The clan-annihilation battle in three days will definitely erupt into a fight between Foundation Establishment cultivators.’
’I can’t participate directly.’
’Even if I do go, I can only watch from the sidelines and see if there are any spoils to be had.’
Zheng Qingqing had anticipated his answer, so her expression didn’t change much, and she left soon after.
…
「Two days later」
Yellow Crane Immortal City held another auction.
At the auction, Zheng Qingqing made several bids, purchasing a number of valuable Treasures.
’The Young Miss is now an Honored Guest Elder of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and has the full backing of the Zheng Family. She’s truly wealthy, having already spent nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones this time!’
Li Chang’an’s Puppet Body was seated in a corner of the auction hall.
He was here because his Divination had hinted that there was a bargain to be found.
Before long, he managed to snag a bargain: a Tier Two Middle Grade Water Element Spiritual Artifact, the Jade Water Ripple Net!
After the auction ended, Li Chang’an hurried back to his residence, his face beaming, to inspect the Treasure.
’I can’t believe the Treasure Appraisers trained by Yellow Crane Immortal City are so easily fooled. Getting a Tier Two Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact for the price of a Tier One Middle Grade Magical Artifact is an incredible steal!’
With a single thought, Li Chang’an cast out the large net.
Instantly, intertwining ripples spread through the air, forming a massive, jade-green net that exuded an immense pressure.
As it was a Water Element Treasure, Li Chang’an couldn’t utilize its full potential.
However, the Treasure was a perfect match for the Profound Water Turtle.
“Here, Xiaohai, this is for you!”
With a casual wave of his hand, Li Chang’an tossed the Treasure to the Profound Water Turtle.
The Profound Water Turtle was instantly overjoyed. It caught the Jade Water Ripple Net and began its Refinement.
Then, he went to a corner of the courtyard, fashioned the large net into a hammock, and lay on it, swinging back and forth.
Li Chang’an was rendered speechless.
He returned to his residence and continued his cultivation.
’Tomorrow is the day Zheng Qingqing plans to destroy the Wu Family.’
’I plan to go to the edge of the battlefield to see if I can find any spoils.’
’The Wu Family has been established for several hundred years. They have a strong reputation in the Qinghe Region and control immense assets. Their family’s foundation must be incredibly deep.’
Li Chang’an mused.
’If I can get some spoils, all the better.’
’If not, so be it!’
He sat cross-legged and operated his Cultivation Technique, slowly breathing in and out Spiritual Power as he waited for that night’s Divination.
Before he knew it, it was Midnight.
A golden light materialized.
[Divination Has Been Refreshed]
[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]
[You will go to the Wu Clan Territory and attempt to scavenge for spoils during the clan-annihilation battle. You will unexpectedly encounter the gravely wounded Wu Family Ancestor, whom you will capture and kill. From his Storage Pouch, you will obtain the Tier Two Body Refining Technique, Demon Dragon Body Refining Technique.]
’Tier Two Body Refinement?’
Li Chang’an’s heart leaped with joy.
’So there really is a reward!’
’And it’s from the Wu Family Ancestor, no less!’
’The Divination says the Wu Family Ancestor will be gravely wounded, but even an injured Foundation Establishment cultivator is no match for someone at the Qi Refining stage. I’ll still have to rely on the Profound Water Turtle and the Sword Array.’
Li Chang’an thought quietly, beginning to envision the various scenarios that might play out the next day.
「A quarter of an hour later」
He left under the cover of night with the Profound Water Turtle and Dahuang.
“Xiaohai, use your Water Escape Technique. Take me to the Qinghe Region.”
Li Chang’an arrived at the bank of a wide river outside Yellow Crane Immortal City, released the Profound Water Turtle, and gave his command.
The Water Escape Technique was one of the Profound Water Turtle’s Talent Techniques.
