DIV Chapter 38: Divination - Great Fortune!

Ordinary rogue cultivators couldn't even see mid-grade spells, let alone superior-grade spells, not to mention the extremely rare escape techniques!

Li Chang'an was overjoyed.

With this escape technique, his life-saving ability had strengthened considerably!

"The rumors say this escape technique, when mastered, can allow escape from a Foundation Establishment ancestor's hands. That should be an exaggeration," he thought silently.

After all, although superior-grade escape techniques were rare, at the Foundation Establishment level, there should still be ways to obtain them.

"I'll focus on practicing this escape technique for the next period of time."

Li Chang'an calmed his emotions.

As long as this escape technique could give him an advantage among Qi Refining cultivators, that would be enough.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke Foundation Establishment ancestors.

Afterward, Li Chang'an began counting the remaining items.

Although there weren't many pills and talismans left, there were quite a few spirit stones, over a thousand.

Additionally, there were three magical artifacts, all first-tier superior-grade magical artifacts.

One was armor that Wei Sen had worn, already damaged by the formation's power, so its value wasn't high.

The other two were daggers.

"These daggers aren't suitable for normal combat, they should be for ambushes. But I already have the Ghost Needle, so I'll find an opportunity to dispose of them," Li Chang'an thought.

Superior-grade magical artifacts were quite valuable, but these two daggers had been used by Wei Sen, so even selling them in the black market required extreme caution.

A slight carelessness could attract the attention of Black Wind Mountain's robber cultivators.

"There are quite a few techniques and spells, even two mid-grade spells, but unfortunately they're all earth element spells, not suitable for me."

Li Chang'an continued searching.

The rest were miscellaneous items of little value.

After about a quarter hour, Li Chang'an confirmed that Wei Sen had no other treasures on him.

So he cast a Fireball Talisman and burned the corpse to ashes.

After this, Li Chang'an's true body returned to the mansion with Big Yellow.

He had Big Yellow use earth element power to level the entire courtyard ground again.

The courtyard returned to its clean appearance, showing no trace of battle, as if nothing had happened.

"Zheng Jinbao is ultimately a trouble, but unfortunately he never leaves the marketplace, making it difficult to act," Li Chang'an stood quietly in the courtyard, contemplating for a moment.

His concerns were actually the same as those robber cultivators Zheng Jinbao hired, all worried about being detected by the Foundation Establishment ancestor in the marketplace.

After all, without reaching Foundation Establishment, one could never know how keen a Foundation Establishment ancestor's spiritual sense was.

"Zheng Jinbao is, after all, a member of the Zheng family." Li Chang'an sighed.

The Zheng family was a cultivation family that valued their bloodline extremely highly.

Although he had saved Zheng family cultivators, once this matter became known to the Zheng family, it was hard to say which side they would take.

"Big Yellow, don't slack off from now on. Keep a close watch on Zheng Jinbao, and tell me immediately once he leaves the marketplace!"

Li Chang'an instructed Big Yellow.

Afterward, he returned to his room, took out the "Minor Five Elements Escape Technique," and began reading it carefully.

After reading for just a short while, he gained enlightenment.

"I see, this Minor Five Elements Escape Technique relies on the Five Elements generating each other. Even someone like me with wood attribute spiritual roots can still use the principle of generation to perform escape techniques of the other four attributes."

The Five Elements generating each other sounded simple, but implementing it was quite difficult.

The greatest feature of this escape technique was that it achieved the most basic Five Elements generation.

"Truly marvelous, worthy of being a superior-grade spell."

Li Chang'an's eyes brightened as he couldn't help but marvel.

The several mid-grade spells he had bought before were far inferior in subtlety to this Minor Five Elements Escape Technique.

Before long, he became absorbed in reading, completely forgetting about time.

Unknowingly, night faded and dawn gradually broke.

The marketplace scene remained the same as usual.

Quite a few people passed by outside, but no one discovered that a terrifying battle had taken place the previous night.

...

Time passed swiftly.

That evening, Li Chang'an still sat cross-legged in his room.

He had been reading for an entire day, motionless, falling into a state almost like enlightenment.

It wasn't until deep into the night that he came to his senses.

"Whew..."

Li Chang'an slowly exhaled, feeling he had gained much.

With a thought, he instantly disappeared from the room and appeared in an underground tunnel.

This tunnel had been diligently dug by Big Yellow in a very deep underground area.

In the past, Li Chang'an couldn't have reached here so easily, but now, his Minor Five Elements Escape Technique had already reached the entry level.

Although it hadn't reached minor accomplishment yet, he could already freely perform Five Elements escape techniques, and his speed far exceeded before.

"Reaching entry level in just one day, it seems I have some talent in escape techniques," Li Chang'an smiled.

This was a superior-grade escape technique.

Even having just entered the basics, his speed far exceeded those cultivators who had mastered inferior-grade escape techniques to completion.

"Next, I can go to the trading area to buy some treasures containing Five Elements power, constantly comprehending them to increase my understanding of the Five Elements." Li Chang'an pondered.

Just then, a golden light appeared before Li Chang'an's eyes.

"Today's divination has come."

Li Chang'an didn't pay much attention, estimating it would mostly be a "neutral" hexagram.

However, the content that appeared next greatly exceeded his expectations.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today's Divination: Great Fortune]

[In the marketplace trading area, you discover an egg of a blood-lineage mutated "Mysterious Water Turtle," whose actual bloodline strength is comparable to an earth-grade spiritual beast, but it's being sold as an ordinary beast egg]

"Great Fortune?"

Li Chang'an was shocked, staring at the divination content in disbelief.

Since the divination had manifested, this was the first time such a hexagram appeared!

He had always thought there were only three types of hexagrams: "inauspicious," "auspicious," and "neutral."

"Earth-grade bloodline spiritual beast?"

Li Chang'an took a deep breath, his heart filled with shock.

Spiritual beast bloodlines corresponded to human spiritual root levels.

Earth-grade bloodline was equivalent to human earth spiritual root prodigies!

"Earth spiritual root prodigies have an extremely high probability of forming cores, and any Golden Core sect would fight to recruit them!"

Back then, if Li Chang'an had earth spiritual roots, how could he have been rejected by immortal sects?

Those sect elders would probably fight to take him as a disciple, trying every means to give him the best treatment.

And an earth-grade bloodline spiritual beast, as long as it grew smoothly, could easily cross into the second tier, comparable to human Foundation Establishment great cultivators.

With a bit more accumulation, it would have hope of entering the third tier, comparable to human Golden Core true persons!

"In a small place like Qinghe Market, such an opportunity could actually exist!"

Li Chang'an's heart surged with excitement, unable to remain calm.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely have a third-tier Mysterious Water Turtle to protect his path in the future!

You must know, in the entire southern region of the State of Zhao, Golden Core cultivators were like heaven.

A third-tier spiritual beast, while not allowing Li Chang'an to walk sideways everywhere, would be enough to ensure his cultivation path remained stable.

"No wonder the divination is Great Fortune!"

Li Chang'an took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

After all, that Mysterious Water Turtle wasn't in his hands yet, and he feared unexpected changes might occur midway.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Li Chang'an hurriedly left and headed straight for the marketplace trading area.

"Please don't let anything go wrong."
