Establishing a Clan in the Eastern Wilderness: A Daily Divination, Cultivating Longevity in a Grotto

Chapter 126 Faceless Ascension, Treasure Unveiled, Great Misfortune

"go!"

Li Changsheng activated the Soul-Shattering Thorn once again.

The second divine thorn pierced the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's sea of ​​consciousness, causing it to freeze again. This time, Li Changle gave the beast no chance to catch its breath. She took out a low-grade second-tier Heavenly Thunder Talisman from her bosom, poured spiritual power into it, and the talisman transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, striking the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's head.

A burst of lightning blasted open, leaving a gaping hole in the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast's head, from which emerald green blood gushed forth. Its body swayed before crashing to the ground.

Li Changsheng closed his umbrella. The two Soul-Piercing Strike attacks had almost exhausted his spiritual power.

Li Changle released a white jade snake from the spirit beast pouch.

As soon as the white jade snake appeared, it pounced on the corpse of the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, opened its mouth, and began to devour its flesh and blood. The Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast was a near-second-tier demon beast, and the essence and power contained in its flesh and blood were far beyond that of a first-tier demon beast. The white jade snake greedily devoured, its scales becoming increasingly shiny, and the golden patterns on its body becoming increasingly dense.

Its aura began to rise.

Mid-stage of Tier 1. Peak of mid-stage of Tier 1.

Late first stage.

The aura of the booming beast steadily stopped at the late stage of the first tier.

The white jade snake's body grew even larger, from the thickness of a child's arm to the thickness of a forearm, and its length increased dramatically from three feet to over five feet. The two small bumps on its head bulged, showing signs of breaking through the skin. It opened its mouth, and a stream of cold air, even more concentrated than before, spewed out, causing a thick layer of frost to form on the ground where the air passed.

Li Changle smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescent moons.

Li Changsheng began picking medicinal herbs in the herb garden.

Three Phantom Grasses. Silvery-white leaves with veins like a spiderweb, shimmering softly in the sunlight. A bounty quest from the Faceless Mask, 100 points per grass.

Two Qingxin Orchids. First-grade superior quality, with snow-white petals and golden stamens, suitable for making Qingxin Pills. Relatively rare on the market.

Four Soul-Nourishing Grasses. First-grade superior quality, with dark green leaves and thick roots. They can be used to refine Soul-Nourishing Pills. They are extremely rare and expensive on the market.

Five Blood-Coagulating Grass plants. First-tier, mid-grade. Dark red leaves with veins like blood vessels. Can be used to refine Blood-Coagulating Powder.

He placed the Illusionary Spirit Grass into a jade box and communicated with the Faceless Mask through his mind. Inside the mask, the bounty list was updated, and the three Illusionary Spirit Grasses were marked as "completed," increasing his points by 300. He then checked the other spirit herbs one by one and found that several of them were also on the bounty list: the Pure Heart Orchid was worth 50 points per plant, the Soul Nourishing Grass was worth 80 points per plant, and the Blood Coagulation Grass was worth 20 points per plant.

Li Changsheng plucked the spiritual herbs one by one and submitted the task through the mask. His points accumulated steadily, eventually stopping at 3,512. The faceless mask trembled slightly, and a line of text appeared in his mind:

[Holder's Rank Upgrade: Tier 1 Low Grade → Tier 1 High Grade]

[New exchangeable items: Tier 1 Superior Grade Spirit Pills, Tier 1 Superior Grade Pill Recipes, Tier 1 Superior Grade Magic Weapons, Tier 1 Superior Grade Spirit Materials, etc.]

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and immediately searched the exchange list. He found the recipe for the Crimson Flame Pill—a high-grade, first-tier pill for demonic beasts, requiring 1,000 points. He exchanged it without hesitation. He then found the recipe for the Golden Armor Pill, also requiring 1,000 points, and exchanged it as well.

Two prescriptions for medicine have been obtained.

He then searched the list for "Foundation Building Pill," and after a moment, a line of text appeared:

[Foundation Building Pill Recipe: Tier 2, High Grade. Exchange Requirements: Holder must reach Tier 2, consuming 10000 points.]

10,000 points.

It's a bit far off, but there's still a lot of hope.

In the herb garden, Li Changsheng searched every corner but could not find the third-tier spiritual fruit tree—the Azure Fruit—mentioned in the divination.

Zhao Cai darted out of his sleeve, jumped onto the stone wall, and began scratching at the vines with its tiny paws. Behind the vines, a narrow crevice appeared in the stone. Zhao Cai crawled inside, and a moment later, excited squeaking sounds could be heard.

Li Changsheng walked to the stone wall, placed his hand on it, and released a burst of spiritual energy. A crack appeared in the stone wall, revealing a hidden stone chamber behind it. The chamber was small, about ten feet square, with a spiritual spring well in the center. The water was clear and filled with spiritual energy. Beside the spring well, a small tree, about three feet tall, grew quietly. Its trunk was like jade, its leaves like emeralds, and several green buds hung on its branches, yet to bloom.

Azure Fruit. A second-tier spirit fruit tree. It will take at least thirty years before it can flower and bear fruit.

Li Changsheng squatted down and carefully dug out the Biluo Fruit Tree, roots and all, and put it into a specially made jade box. With a thought, he and the box entered the Heavenly Book Space.

Ye Wushuang was squatting by the spirit field watering the Foundation Establishment main medicine when she saw Li Changsheng enter. She quickly stood up. When she saw the jade box in his hand, her one eye widened in surprise.

"Master, this is—the Azure Fruit?!" His voice trembled. "A third-tier spirit fruit tree! This thing has long since disappeared from the outside world! Where did you get it?"

"Enough with the nonsense." Li Changsheng handed him the jade box. "Plant it in a second-tier spirit field and take good care of it."

Ye Wushuang took the jade box, his hands trembling. He opened the lid and looked at the lush green sapling, his eyes filled with fervor. A second-tier spirit field, a third-tier spirit fruit tree—he had never imagined in his life that he could personally cultivate such treasures.

"Rest assured, Master, I will take good care of it! Watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil, and removing pests—I won't miss a single step!"

The Heavenly Book Trembled:

[Obtained one Azure Fruit Tree, Family Luck Value +500]

[Current Family Luck Value: 21600/25000]

[3400 points remaining until the new page opens.]

Li Changsheng exited the Heavenly Book Space, and the communication jade talisman at his waist suddenly lit up.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Yun Jiuniang: "Clan Chief Li, come and join us immediately. The location has been sent."

Li Changsheng put away the jade talisman, glanced at Li Changle and Li Changmo, and said, "Let's go to the rendezvous point."

Several days later, in a valley on the outskirts.

Yun Jiuniang stood on a silver-white flying boat, with two Foundation Establishment cultivators behind her. Both appeared to be in their thirties, with tall, straight figures and stern faces. They wore the Yun family's standard blue robes, and silver tokens hung at their waists.

The man on the left is named Yun Yishan. He has a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes. He looks honest and simple, but his eyes have a sharp, hidden glint, clearly indicating that he is not a kind person. The man on the right is named Yun Yihai. He has a handsome face and a scholarly air about him, but his aura is as steady as a mountain, with the faint sound of wind and thunder.

Yun Yishan frowned slightly as he watched the approaching flying boat in the distance: "Ninth Miss, the Eldest Miss sent us to pick up that Qi Refining Level 5 kid?"

Yun Jiuniang glanced at him and said calmly, "Eldest sister has her own arrangements."

Yun Yihai remained silent, merely watching the young man's figure on the flying boat with great interest. He had heard of Li Changsheng's victories at Ten Thousand Year Mountain and Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, a young man at the fifth level of Qi Refining, who, along with his sister at the fifth level of Qi Refining and his father at the sixth level of Qi Refining, fought his way out of fifteen powerful families.

Such a person is not simple.

He activated his Qi Observation Technique and his gaze fell on Li Changsheng.

A hazy, gray expanse.

I can't see anything.

Yun Yihai's pupils contracted slightly.

Although his Qi Observation Technique was only at a minor level, it was more than enough to see through the Qi Refining cultivator's fortune. But this young man's fortune was like mist, chaotic and unclear, as if it were obscured by something.

"Interesting," he murmured.

The flying boat landed. Li Changsheng, along with Li Changle and Li Changmo, jumped down, walked to Yun Jiuniang, and bowed with clasped hands: "Miss Jiu, we've kept you waiting."

Yun Jiuniang nodded, her gaze sweeping over him. He was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, a further improvement from before. She didn't ask further, simply saying, "Let's go, your elder sister is waiting for you."

She turned and stepped onto the flying boat, followed by Li Changsheng and the other two. Yun Yishan and Yun Yihai were the last to board, and the flying boat took off, heading towards the outer barrier.

a few days later.

The airship passed through the outer and inner layers, heading directly towards the central area. Li Changsheng stood at the bow, looking at the mountains and rivers rushing past below, a sense of excitement welling up inside him.

The central area contains the ruins of an ancient cave dwelling.

The subsequent cultivation methods of the Chaos Origin Scripture are right there.

At the very beginning of the day, Li Changsheng habitually communicated with the Heavenly Book.

"Today's divination result is 'open'."

A yellow light swirled, and the deduced characters slowly emerged. This time, the characters were blood red, exuding an ominous and ominous aura.

A terrible omen. The entrance to the ancient cave ruins is shrouded in an ancient curse. Anyone who opens the barrier will suffer the backlash of the curse, facing a near-death experience. Only by using a special method to break the curse can one avert disaster.

Li Changsheng felt a pang of anxiety, put away the Heavenly Book, and maintained his composure.

The airship landed in a valley in the central area.

Deep within the valley, a massive light screen stretched out before them, runes flowing across its surface, spiritual light surging, exuding an ancient and profound aura. Before the light screen, another flying boat had been waiting for some time. On the flying boat, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, dressed in white with her face veiled, stood with her hands behind her back. Behind her, Yu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his beard and hair flowing, possessing an air of otherworldly grace.

When Li Changle saw Yu Feng, his eyes lit up. He jumped off the flying boat and ran over, calling out, "Master!"

Yu Feng stroked his beard, smiled at his disciple, and nodded: "You've lost weight. Five Dragon Mountain is dangerous, are you alright?"

"No!" Li Changle shook her head, tugging at Yu Feng's sleeve. "Master, I've learned so many new formations! I even got a grass puppet!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Feng's eyes. He looked at the grass puppet behind Li Changle and nodded: "Not bad. Go back and tell your master about it."

Li Changsheng walked up to the young lady, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Senior Yun."

The young lady glanced at him, her gaze as cold and clear as the moon. She didn't speak, but simply waved her hand. Yun Yishan, Yun Yihai, Yun Jiuniang,

Yu Feng, Li Changle, Li Changmo, and the others all retreated to a distance. The young lady waved her hand again, and a soundproof array enveloped her and Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng was a little nervous. He didn't know what this young lady from the Yun family wanted to say to him.

The young lady turned around, looked at the huge light screen, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"In the ruins of an ancient cave, there exists a spiritual herb called the Three-Turn Resurrection Herb. It only grows in places where spiritual energy is abundant and yin and yang intertwine. This herb is the main ingredient for refining the Three-Turn Resurrection Pill, and the Three-Turn Resurrection Pill can save my father."

She paused, her voice calm yet tinged with barely perceptible weariness: "Father's injuries are far more severe than outsiders know. The Second Elder's palm strike not only damaged his physical body but also his soul. Without the Three-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, he wouldn't have survived for five years."

Li Changsheng remained silent.

"Before my father fell into a coma, he consulted a divination." The young lady turned to look at Li Changsheng, her gaze as cold as the moon. "The divination said that to enter the ancient cave ruins, one must bring someone with a special destiny. You, with your Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation, stood out from fifteen aristocratic families; you must have such a destiny. Are you willing to enter the ruins with me?"

Li Changsheng was shocked.

A divination? The Grand Elder can also perform divination?

Fortunately, he now possesses the family's imperial seal, which can shield him from divine secrets.
