Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 313 - 208: Earth Grade Escape Technique, Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid
Li Chang’an was already on his way back.
’This Water Demon’s Demon Core has very gentle Spiritual Power, which makes it suitable for refining a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, I’ve already used up the main ingredients for the pill, so I’ll have to go to Yellow Crane Immortal City to buy some more.’
He thought to himself.
Suddenly,
two streaks of light shot across the distant horizon.
Li Chang’an stopped mid-air. Looking closely, he saw that the two were Mo Xi and Mu Caiwei, just as the divination had mentioned.
Their auras were weak, and they were covered in blood. They had clearly just survived a brutal battle.
“Daoist Mo, Daoist Mu, what happened?”
Li Chang’an flew forward and called out.
The moment they saw him,
joy appeared on their faces, and they hurried toward him.
“Daoist Li, we were ambushed by Demon Beasts and trapped in an array. By the time we escaped the array, several of our fellow Daoists had already fallen…”
Mo Xi spoke rapidly, explaining the situation.
A quarter of an hour ago,
their group of more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators had been patrolling the area, searching for signs of Demon Beasts.
They never expected that while passing through a valley, they would suddenly be enveloped by a terrifying Grand Array.
More than ten Tier Two Great Demons appeared outside the array and used it to attack them.
They suffered heavy casualties while breaking the array.
After breaking out of the array,
they scattered and fled.
Mo Xi and Mu Caiwei had intended to flee toward Cui Ping Mountain for help, never imagining they would run into Li Chang’an on the way.
After listening, Li Chang’an asked, “Was Yuyan patrolling with you?”
“Don’t worry, Daoist Li. Daoist Su has already returned to the Cyan Cloud Sect. She hasn’t been dealing with the Demon Beast turmoil recently.”
“That’s good.”
Li Chang’an was relieved.
Just then,
two Tier Two Early Stage Great Demons suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, flying toward them.
The Great Demons had savage expressions and were stained with the blood of Human Race Foundation Establishment cultivators. Billowing with Demon Qi, their auras were overwhelming as they charged straight for the three of them.
Mo Xi and Mu Caiwei were already severely injured. With their Magical Power nearly depleted, they had no strength left to fight.
“Those beasts caught up so quickly!”
Their expressions changed slightly as they both turned to look at Li Chang’an.
They had both heard the rumors.
During the battle that destroyed the Cao Family, Li Chang’an had been able to fight Cao Zhengxiong head-on.
Logically, that level of strength should be enough to handle two Tier Two Early Stage Great Demons at the same time.
However, later reports indicated that before his Magical Combat with Li Chang’an, Cao Zhengxiong had already been severely wounded by Zheng Qingqing and two others.
If not for that, Li Chang’an couldn’t possibly have been his opponent.
“Daoist Li, are the other three Daoists from Cui Ping Mountain nearby?”
Worried, Mo Xi couldn’t help but ask.
“They aren’t, but you two don’t need to worry. Regulate your breathing for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
Li Chang’an’s expression was calm.
With that, he transformed into a streak of light and charged toward the two Tier Two Early Stage Great Demons with his Nine Swords Array.
What happened next,
unfolded before Mo Xi and Mu Caiwei’s disbelieving eyes.
As if he were slicing melons and chopping vegetables, Li Chang’an effortlessly slayed the two Tier Two Great Demons. Not even a single drop of blood stained the hem of his robes.
The two women looked at each other, shock evident in their eyes.
Both of them were geniuses from the Seven Great Noble Families, surrounded by praise and admiration since childhood.
But now,
compared to Li Chang’an, the halos of genius around them seemed to dim considerably.
“So Daoist Li really does have the power to contend with the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment! Those rumors weren’t false!”
Mu Caiwei took a deep breath, her heart finding it hard to calm down.
She looked at Li Chang’an, no longer as cold as before. A slight smile appeared on her pale cheeks.
“Daoist Li, could we trouble you to escort us for the rest of the way?”
“Of course.”
Li Chang’an was interested in building a good relationship with the Mu Family, so naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.
The Mu Family had a lot of good things.
For example, the legendary Heaven and Earth Spirit Root, a Tier Three Spirit Plant inheritance, and a large number of treasures for cultivating Spirit Plants.
In fact, Mu Caiwei herself carried a treasure that had once caused his Evergreen Vine to send out a pulse of desire.
After that,
Li Chang’an escorted the two of them back to Yellow Crane Immortal City.
Along the way, he mentioned his interest in cultivating Spirit Plants and asked about treasures related to it.
Mu Caiwei was very generous, holding nothing back as she spoke of various treasures.
She herself was a Tier Two Spirit Plant Master.
Talking with her,
Li Chang’an learned a great deal.
“As far as I know, in the entire Southern Domain of Zhao Country, the best treasure for cultivating Spirit Plants is my Mu Family’s ’Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid.’ A single drop of this Spirit Liquid is worth countless other treasures.”
“Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid?”
Li Chang’an’s heart stirred. ’This must be the treasure the Evergreen Vine wants.’
According to Mu Caiwei, the refining method for this Spirit Liquid was unique to the Mu Family’s Tier Three Spirit Plant inheritance; no other power knew how to make it.
Li Chang’an asked sincerely, “Daoist Mu, is there any way to purchase the Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid?”
“Well…”
Mu Caiwei’s tone faltered.
She hesitated for a moment before saying apologetically, “I’m terribly sorry, Daoist Li, but the Mu Family isn’t selling this Spirit Liquid to outsiders at the moment. If you have a Spirit Plant that needs cultivating, you can bring it directly to Red Leaf Valley.”
“I see. Thank you for telling me, Daoist Mu.”
Li Chang’an understood what she meant.
Although the Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid wasn’t for sale, it could be used within the Mu Family’s grounds. All he had to do was bring his Spirit Plant to them.
The problem was,
the Eternal Green Vine was a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root!
If Li Chang’an brought the Evergreen Vine to them, he’d most likely be detained, along with the vine.
He wasn’t about to do something so foolish.
The Mu Family may have been in decline, but they still had a Fake Pill Ancestor watching over them and couldn’t be underestimated.
…
Before long,
the trio arrived at Yellow Crane Immortal City.
Mo Xi parted ways with the other two and headed for the Mo Family’s garrison in Yellow Crane Immortal City to report the Demon Beast attack.
The person in charge of the garrison was none other than the Mo Family’s Golden Core Seed, Mo Qingxue!
When she heard that Li Chang’an had taken action, a flicker of surprise crossed her cool eyes.
“Li Chang’an? He actually dared to slay Demons?”
“Sister Qingxue, Daoist Li has been slaying Demons for years. Why are you so surprised?”
“It’s nothing…”
Mo Qingxue shook her head gently. She truly was a little surprised.
It was just that the last two times she had encountered Li Chang’an were during Beast Tide outbreaks.
And each time, Li Chang’an had fled in the face of battle, running from Yellow Crane Immortal City without a backward glance, as if he wished he could sprout a few more legs.
This had left a terrible impression on her.
After that, she hadn’t paid much attention to any news about Li Chang’an.
“Tell me again, how exactly did Li Chang’an slay those Demons?”
