Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 67: Chen Qianya’s Surprise
Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Chen Qianya’s Surprise
This Stone Stele was indeed very special.
But Li Chang’an didn’t linger in front of it for long.
No matter how excellent the Stone Stele’s material was, it ultimately had nothing to do with him.
His main goal for the day was to find the Token indicated by his divination.
’Where could that Token be?’
Li Chang’an’s gaze swept across the area, searching for a long time.
After about a quarter of an hour, his steps halted, his eyes locking onto a stall.
On that stall, a number of items were piled up, all carrying the faint scent of decay.
Among them was a rotten wooden Token.
’Found it!’
Li Chang’an’s heart stirred, and he walked over.
On the edge of the wooden Token, he saw a nearly imperceptible silver speck.
’Another one of these storage Treasures that can only be opened with Spiritual Power. It seems to have come from a Secret Realm as well.’
This kind of Treasure didn’t react to Magical Power at all.
Judging by its appearance alone, it was purely an ordinary wooden Token that had rotted away over time.
“Daoist, are you interested in these Treasures?”
Behind the stall was a middle-aged Cultivator.
He wore a smile on his face.
He began to explain things to Li Chang’an with great patience.
“I found these things in a cave dwelling inside a Secret Realm.”
According to him, the cave dwelling was filled with traps and mechanisms.
He had gone to great lengths to reach the very depths of it.
However, he hadn’t obtained any real Treasure, only discovering these rotten odds and ends.
“Daoist, I suspect there’s a Treasure hidden within these items, but I just haven’t been able to find it. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to buy some and investigate them at your leisure.”
“Oh?”
Li Chang’an adopted a pensive expression.
After a moment, he seemed to hesitate before asking, “How much are you planning to sell these for, Daoist?”
“One Spirit Stone each! Daoist, feel free to pick whichever you like!”
Hearing this price, Li Chang’an felt a little relieved.
It was very cheap!
He immediately selected more than ten items, including the Token.
The transaction was completed quickly.
“Take care, Daoist!”
“Alright.”
Li Chang’an remained impassive, put everything away, and turned to leave.
He was worried something unexpected might happen, so he didn’t use his Spiritual Power to touch the Token on the spot.
He planned to investigate it slowly after returning.
Afterward, he wandered around the area for a long time but didn’t find any other similar Tokens.
’I shouldn’t be mistaken.’
Li Chang’an thought to himself.
He returned to the front of the Stone Stele and found that even more Cultivators had gathered there.
Luo Kun was still there, staring motionlessly at the Stone Stele as if mesmerized.
“Elder Luo, have you noticed anything special about it?”
“No.”
Luo Kun shook his head and sighed.
“But for some reason, I feel that the Stone Stele looks familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another Cultivator nearby looked over and said in surprise:
“Daoist, I have the same feeling. It’s like I’ve seen it somewhere before, too.”
The two then exchanged a few words but couldn’t figure out why.
They asked the other Cultivators around them.
But none of the others shared that sense of familiarity.
“How strange.”
Luo Kun was completely baffled.
Li Chang’an watched for a while longer but couldn’t discern any sense of familiarity himself.
He shook his head and didn’t force it.
’Oh well. Not all Treasures are fated to be mine.’
He turned and left, continuing to trade with other fellow Daoists.
After a little while, Li Chang’an suddenly spotted Chen Qianya’s figure in the crowd.
He immediately walked up to her and asked, “Daoist Chen, are you still in need of Weak Water Spirit Sand?”
“Hm?”
Chen Qianya was taken aback by his words and looked at Li Chang’an.
“Daoist Li, could it be that you have some Weak Water Spirit Sand?”
“That’s right.”
Li Chang’an smiled and nodded.
With a thought, a cluster of azure sand appeared in his hand.
“It really is Weak Water Spirit Sand!”
Chen Qianya’s beautiful eyes lit up.
Understanding his intent, she took out a crimson Crystal Stone.
Inside the Crystal Stone, a mass of what looked like blood seemed to be boiling, giving it a very strange appearance.
It was a Boiling Blood Crystal!
The two of them exchanged the items on the spot.
’I’ve finally got it.’
Li Chang’an thought to himself as he put the Boiling Blood Crystal into his Storage Pouch.
Chen Qianya was in high spirits.
She put away the Weak Water Spirit Sand, and when she looked at Li Chang’an again, she found him much more pleasing to the eye.
At least Li Chang’an was different from other Talisman Masters. He didn’t try to insincerely curry favor with her.
“Daoist Li, how are your studies in Talisman Art coming along?”
She took the initiative to continue the conversation, asking about his Talisman Art.
Li Chang’an immediately shared some of his own understanding.
After that, Chen Qianya also spoke about her insights into the path of Talismans.
The two began to discuss the topic with each other.
At first, Chen Qianya had intended to offer Li Chang’an some guidance.
But the longer they talked, the more surprised she became.
This was because Li Chang’an’s attainments in Talisman Art far exceeded her expectations, to the point where she even felt inspired by him.
“Daoist Li, I’m afraid your Middle Grade Talisman Art is not far from reaching the high-quality level.”
“Daoist Chen, you flatter me.”
Li Chang’an acted very modestly.
He said that he still had a long way to go and that his understanding of the path of Talismans was far inferior to Chen Qianya’s.
These words were very pleasing to Chen Qianya.
She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up into a slight smile.
In the past, other Middle Grade Talisman Masters had said similar things to curry favor with her.
But she had never felt pleased by it.
Today, for some unknown reason, she actually felt happy because of Li Chang’an’s praise.
“Daoist Li, your talent is remarkable. Sooner or later, you’ll also be able to reach my current level.”
Chen Qianya’s smile was natural, and her voice became much sweeter.
She had already acknowledged Li Chang’an’s talent.
After all, Li Chang’an was just a Loose Cultivator; he didn’t have the same excellent conditions she did.
If their conditions were the same, Li Chang’an’s attainments in Talisman Art would likely be no weaker than hers.
Afterward, the two made an arrangement.
From now on, they would discuss Talisman Art with each other every so often.
Li Chang’an was more than happy with this.
His purpose in approaching Chen Qianya was actually similar to that of other Middle Grade Talisman Masters: it was all for her father, Chen Yuanshan.
However, what Li Chang’an wanted wasn’t the Top Grade Talismanic Inheritance, but the vast amount of Treasures in Chen Yuanshan’s possession.
’As the number one Talisman Master in the Marketplace, Chen Yuanshan must have accumulated a great many Treasures. There should be something among them that I need for my Body Refinement.’
Li Chang’an mused.
Before long, he saw another acquaintance, the Beast Master Wang Hu.
“Elder Wang Hu.”
“Chang’an, come over here! Let me introduce you to an elder from our Beast Master lineage.”
Wang Hu waved with a smile.
Following his introduction, Li Chang’an met the number one Beast Master in the Marketplace.
A Top Grade Beast Master.
Zhu Gang!
This elder had a Demon Beast that he had raised to Tier One Peak!
The Demon Beast Essence Blood he possessed far surpassed that of other Beast Masters.
“Elder Zhu, you actually have the Essence Blood of a rare Demon Beast like the Blood Spirit Python!”
After just a few words of conversation, Li Chang’an was already astounded.
If he could build a good relationship with this elder, he wouldn’t have to worry about Demon Beast Essence Blood for the next few stages of his Body Refinement!
“Haha, why so surprised? When Elder Zhu became a Beast Master, you probably weren’t even born yet, kid!”
Someone next to them said with a laugh.
Li Chang’an nodded slightly, acknowledging the truth in those words.
In the Cultivation Immortality Realm,
living a long time was also an advantage.
