Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 450 - 252: Successive Breakthroughs, 2 Tier 3s

“Uncle Li, my knowledge is limited. I can’t identify this treasure, nor can I refine it.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an observed it carefully for a moment.

The object was about the size of a fist and was a deep, dark green. It looked like a jade treasure, but it faintly radiated a bone-chilling aura.

Soon, the name of a certain treasure surfaced in his mind.

’The Cyan Cold Poison Jade!’

This was an extremely rare Tier Three Top Grade Poison Dao Treasure.

The treasure in Jiang Lin’s hand matched the description of the Cyan Cold Poison Jade in every way.

However, the books recorded that the formation conditions for the Cyan Cold Poison Jade were incredibly harsh, and they were typically only the size of a grain of rice or a pinky finger. The piece in Jiang Lin’s hand, however, was astonishingly large.

’The Ten Thousand Poison Gu desires it so strongly. It must be the Cyan Cold Poison Jade. A piece this large might be enough for it to break through to Tier Three,’ Li Chang’an mused to himself.

After a moment, he said in a low voice, “How about you sell this to me?”

Jiang Lin quickly replied, “Uncle Li, this is a Poison Dao Treasure. It’s useless to me. If you can use it, please, just take it!”

“No, I can’t take advantage of a junior like you.”

As he spoke, with a flick of his will, two beams of Spiritual Light shot out from his Storage Pouch and flew before Jiang Lin.

They were a Foundation Establishment Pill and a Top Grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

Upon seeing these two treasures, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on Jiang Lin’s face.

Though talented, he was just a Loose Cultivator and had yet to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill or any Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

With these two treasures, his path to Foundation Establishment would be much smoother.

Li Chang’an said coolly, “Take them. What are you waiting for?”

“Thank you, Uncle Li!”

Overjoyed, Jiang Lin immediately accepted the two treasures and bowed deeply to Li Chang’an once more.

Li Chang’an tossed the Cyan Cold Poison Jade into his Storage Pouch, deciding not to feed it to the Ten Thousand Poison Gu just yet.

“Come on. Follow me outside. We’ll take care of those disciples from the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage.”

“Uncle Li, it’s a bit complicated.”

As soon as the matter was brought up, the joyous look on Jiang Lin’s face vanished.

Originally, only a few Qi Refining Stage Poison Cultivators had been hunting him. But after he hid in the Black Market, more and more Poison Cultivators from the Five Poison Lineage had arrived, seemingly determined to trap him there forever.

Among them were even several Late Stage Foundation Establishment Poison Cultivators.

“Late Stage of Foundation Establishment?”

Li Chang’an wasn’t surprised.

After the Five Poison Wanderer joined the Yin Soul Sect, the Five Poison Lineage had begun to expand rapidly. Many Yin Soul Sect Cultivators had switched to practicing Poison Techniques. It wasn’t uncommon for them to be at Foundation Establishment, so a few at the Late Stage was perfectly normal.

Jiang Lin said worriedly, “Uncle Li, even though the Five Poison Wanderer isn’t here himself, those Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators won’t be easy to deal with. Why don’t we wait for Uncle Ye Hao and the others to return?”

“There’s no need. Come with me.”

With a flash of Spiritual Light in his hand, a billowing Venerable Soul Banner appeared.

Seeing the Venerable Soul Banner, Jiang Lin’s eyes filled with reverence.

He said no more, immediately falling in line behind Li Chang’an as they exited the hidden chamber.

The moment the two of them appeared, they were spotted by numerous disciples from the Five Poison Lineage.

They trailed behind them, each with pupils of green and cruel expressions, like a pack of vipers ready to devour their prey. They followed the pair out of the Black Market.

Jiang Lin had been a little worried. But what happened next was a scene that left him utterly dumbfounded.

WHOOSH…

The Soul Banner billowed, and an Evil Soul emerged. In an instant, it had killed every single one of the pursuing Five Poison Wanderer Lineage Cultivators.

Even the few at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment were no exception.

They died so quickly they didn’t even realize they were dead.

By the time they finally understood what had happened, they were already trapped within the Venerable Soul Banner.

“All right. Find a place to hide for a while. It would be best if you didn’t come out until you’ve reached Foundation Establishment.”

Li Chang’an patted Jiang Lin’s shoulder, offering a few words of advice.

He put away the Venerable Soul Banner and transformed into a streak of Spiritual Light, vanishing into the distance.

Jiang Lin wanted to follow Li Chang’an, but before he could even speak, Li Chang’an had already vanished over the horizon.

…

「Not long after.」

Li Chang’an returned to Changqing Mountain.

With a flick of his will, he retrieved the Cyan Cold Poison Jade from his Storage Pouch.

The Ten Thousand Poison Gu once again conveyed its eager desire. Its plump body crawled out of his sleeve, its small eyes staring intently at the Poison Dao Treasure.

“Not so fast!”

Li Chang’an didn’t feed it directly, instead communicating with it for a moment.

Regarding its advancement, the little creature indicated that after devouring the entire Cyan Cold Poison Jade, it was highly confident it could advance to Tier Three. To do so, however, it would also be best to find a Tier Three Spirit Vein for it.

“You little fellow, you advance quite quickly. Saves me a lot of trouble.”

Li Chang’an smiled and tossed the Cyan Cold Poison Jade to it.

The Ten Thousand Poison Gu was overjoyed. It immediately pounced, clutching the Jade Treasure and began to gnaw on it.

By the time it had completely devoured the Poison Jade, Li Chang’an had already arrived at the Zhou Clan Territory.

He greeted Zhou Sheng and the others before heading deep into the Zhou Clan Territory. He entered a hidden chamber specifically designed for seclusion and placed the Ten Thousand Poison Gu inside.

At that point, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu had completely devoured the Poison Jade.

Its body looked even plumper, almost swollen into a ball.

After a moment, it began to spit out silk threads, slowly weaving an Insect Cocoon around itself.

’It’s forming a cocoon again.’

Li Chang’an remembered. The little creature had also formed an Insect Cocoon when it broke through to Tier Two.

He set up a Tier Three Grand Array around the hidden chamber to protect the little creature as it advanced.

About an hour later, the sky above the Zhou Clan Territory churned as wind and clouds gathered. An immense amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power surged in madly, forming a swirling vortex of Spiritual Power.

Countless Zhou Family disciples within the territory raised their heads, staring at the scene in shock.

“What’s going on?”
