Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 435 - 247: Tier 3 Divine Sense, The Zhou Family’s Request
It was the Zhou Family’s Tier Three Middle Grade Beast Taming legacy!
A legacy like this was enough to ensure the prosperity of a Golden Core Clan.
In the past, the Zhou Family would never have given it to an outsider. But now, they were on the brink of collapse, and it was questionable whether they could even preserve their line.
“Daoist Li, please accept this legacy!”
“Alright.”
Li Chang’an nodded slightly and took the Jade Scroll.
He refined it, sent a wisp of his Divine Sense inside, and casually browsed its contents. It was, indeed, a Tier Three Beast Taming legacy.
It contained Chapters on the Profound Water Turtle and the Yellow Sand Dog.
’It will be of some help to me.’
Zhou Sheng added, “Daoist Li, if you succeed, you can also freely use the Zhou Family’s Tier Three Spirit Vein. Whether it’s for your own breakthrough to Core Formation, or for your descendants or Spirit Beasts to break through, you can use our family’s Spirit Vein! What do you say?”
“Alright, I agree!”
Li Chang’an didn’t refuse this time, agreeing on the spot.
This was an offer full of sincerity.
According to what Zhou Sheng said,
the entire Zhou Family Spirit Vein would practically be Li Chang’an’s semi-personal cultivation ground.
’I was just worrying about not having a suitable Tier Three Spirit Vein for my Core Formation breakthrough. After all, it’s impossible for me to do it in Yellow Crane Immortal City.’
Originally, he had planned to use the Mo Family’s Spirit Vein for his breakthrough.
But now,
he had another option.
Of course, all of this was contingent on Zhou Sheng and his people regaining control of the Zhou Family!
“Daoist Zhou, take me to your hiding place.”
“Of course! Daoist Li, please follow me!”
Zhou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Li Chang’an’s strength was far greater than what it seemed on the surface.
With Li Chang’an on board, the Zhou Family’s chances of success would increase significantly.
The two transformed into streaks of spiritual light, leaving Changqing Mountain one after the other. Before long, they entered the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
Along the way, Zhou Sheng explained that to evade pursuit from the Zhou Family’s Demon Beasts, they had hidden directly inside the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.
Soon, the two entered the Ancient Wood Secret Realm, avoiding one dangerous area after another as they ventured deeper inside.
Finally,
Zhou Sheng stopped beneath a seemingly ordinary cliff.
He formed a hand seal and cast a spell of Magic, causing a cave entrance to immediately appear at the base of the cliff.
“Daoist Li, this is the place. Please, follow me.”
Zhou Sheng went inside, leading the way for Li Chang’an.
Before long,
the two arrived in a relatively spacious underground world.
Zhou Sheng explained that this was an abandoned Ancient Cave Mansion he had stumbled upon during a Treasure Hunt.
It now served as the temporary hiding place for the Zhou Clan Members.
Several hundred Zhou Clan Members were living here.
“Daoist Li, please use your Illusion-Breaking Treasure to check their bodies for any traces of Demon Qi.”
“Alright!”
Li Chang’an immediately used the Refining Shadow Invisible Technique. His body and aura vanished, as if he had never been there at all.
Holding the Stone Eye, he passed by the resting places of the Zhou Clan Members, observing them one by one.
During this time, none of the Zhou Clan Members sensed his presence.
Before long,
Li Chang’an had finished his investigation.
Among the several hundred Zhou Clan Members, more than thirty had Demon Qi in their bodies.
However, they showed no abnormalities and continued to eat and live alongside the other members of the clan.
“There are that many?”
After learning the results, Zhou Sheng was genuinely shocked.
He had thought there were only two or three infiltrators at most.
Li Chang’an nodded and asked, “Daoist Zhou, do you have a way to purge the Demon Qi from their bodies?”
“This is troublesome. For now, all I can do is restrain them!”
Zhou Sheng acted at once, restraining the more than thirty clan disciples and throwing them all into a Spirit Beast Bag to cut off their perception of the outside world.
What happened next
was no longer Li Chang’an’s concern.
Knowing this location was now compromised, Zhou Sheng moved the remaining clan members to a safer, more hidden location.
Meanwhile, Li Chang’an returned to Changqing Mountain.
In the days that followed,
Zhou Sheng would visit Changqing Mountain from time to time, almost always bringing a new Zhou Clan Member for Li Chang’an to check for Demon Qi.
Time flew, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
「On this day.」
A shocking piece of news spread from within the Ancient Sect Ruins.
“Deep within the Ancient Sect Ruins, while vying for a Nascent Soul opportunity, Huang He Master was caught in a trap. Gravely injured, he flew back to Yellow Crane Immortal City overnight to recuperate.”
“Someone saw that Huang He Master was covered in blood, his aura weak, with only half his body remaining…”
This news soon reached Li Chang’an.
Li Chang’an read it over carefully, not missing a single detail.
’Only half his body remaining?’
’If the news is true, then Huang He Master is indeed severely injured.’
’With Huang He Master’s power, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to obtain some Treasure Medicine for flesh regeneration.’
’But a full recovery would undoubtedly take a considerable amount of time.’
’This is good news.’
’The more trouble Huang He Master encounters and the more time he wastes, the lower his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm will be.’
Naturally, Li Chang’an hoped he would get severely injured a few more times.
「In the following days.」
More news arrived.
Some reports claimed that Huang He Master hadn’t been injured by a trap, but was ambushed by a joint force of Golden Core Cultivators from the Three Great Sects.
This was supposedly because he himself had ambushed cultivators from the Three Great Sects in the past.
However, the Three Great Sects quickly refuted these rumors, each declaring their friendly relationship with Yellow Crane Immortal City and even sending envoys to present healing Treasure Medicines.
「A few more days later.」
The Cyan Cloud Sect suddenly announced that they would be holding a grand auction in Yellow Crane Immortal City.
As they were borrowing the Immortal City’s venue, disciples of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage would be given advance notice of some of the auction items.
Anyone could see
that the Cyan Cloud Sect was making a gesture of goodwill toward Yellow Crane Immortal City.
’Huang He Master is so powerful that the Three Great Sects all want to win him over, completely disregarding his past ambushes.’
