"Silly girl, why are you worrying about such things? Go back and focus on your cultivation!"
Su Yuyan’s expression darkened, and looking displeased, she raised a hand as if to strike.
Su Qingxue flinched and imdiately scurried to a safe distance.
...
「In the days that followed.」
Just as the Zi Xi Saintess had said.
Cultivators all over began to stumble upon fortuitous encounters, both large and small.
In so regions, the ground itself uplifted to reveal Ancient Cave Mansions, and many Cultivators obtained Treasures from within.
In other areas, the ground cracked open and fierce winds howled up from deep within the earth, carrying a great number of Treasures with them.
So even found an opportunity to break through and successfully reached Foundation Establishnt!
「Half a month later.」
Even more shocking news arrived.
A Celestial Pride from the Talisman Zhang Family had unexpectedly found an opportunity for Core Formation. He ford a Mid Grade True Pill and beca the Zhang Family’s third Golden Core Cultivator.
’There really are a lot of fortuitous encounters, and many of them co from beneath the earth.’ Li Chang’an mused as he read the reports from various places.
’It seems there are many Treasures buried deep underground.’
’But I use the Earth Escape Technique all the ti and I’ve never run into anything.’
’Maybe I’m not going deep enough?’
Just as he was pondering this, a visitor suddenly arrived.
And this visitor’s status was by no ans ordinary.
’A Purple Mist Sect Cultivator!’
Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he watched a streak of Spiritual Light approaching Changqing Mountain.
He recognized the aura of that Spiritual Light. He had sensed it back at the Cyan Cloud Sect—it belonged to one of the dozen or so Cultivators from the Purple Mist Sect.
If his senses were not mistaken, this person only had a Foundation Establishnt Cultivation.
Before long, the streak of Spiritual Light landed on Changqing Mountain and transford into a young man—the very person Li Chang’an rembered.
"Haha, Daoist Li, I’ve co uninvited. I hope you don’t mind!"
"Not at all! You are a Celestial Pride from a Nascent Soul Sect. Many people would dream of the chance to speak with you."
Li Chang’an smiled as a flash of Spiritual Light flew from his Storage Pouch, materializing into a Jade Table and Spirit Tea.
Whatever the case, a visitor was a guest.
Even though he didn’t know the man’s intentions, he couldn’t be discourteous.
The two sat facing each other, drinking tea and chatting about matters in the Southern Domain.
During their conversation, the man introduced himself. His na was Liu Xuanfeng, and his father was one of the Purple Mist Sect’s Saint Children.
He had co to the Southern Domain this ti for training and experience.
After a few monts of conversation, Liu Xuanfeng stated the purpose of his visit.
"Daoist Li, do you have an Earth Elent Spirit Beast?"
As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on Li Chang’an’s face, watching for the slightest change in his expression.
Li Chang’an put on a puzzled expression.
"Daoist Liu, I don’t raise Spirit Beasts. Everyone in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm knows I’ve always focused only on my own Cultivation."
"Daoist Li, why bother lying to ?"
Liu Xuanfeng’s tone changed abruptly. The smile vanished from his face, and he seed quite displeased.
"I want to buy that Earth Elent Spirit Beast of yours. Daoist Li, na your price."
"Daoist Liu, I truly do not have a Spirit Beast. If you don’t believe , I can swear on my Dao Heart."
"That won’t be necessary!"
Liu Xuanfeng’s brow furrowed slightly as he glanced around, seemingly searching for sothing.
After a mont, he withdrew his gaze and looked back at Li Chang’an.
"Daoist Li, I am genuinely trying to make a deal with you."
A flash of Spiritual Light appeared in his hand, revealing a Spirit Contract, which he slowly pushed across the table to Li Chang’an.
"If you are willing to sell that Earth Elent Spirit Beast, you’ll not only receive a wealth of Cultivation resources but also beco my friend, Liu Xuanfeng’s friend. There is nothing but benefit in this for you. Think it over carefully."
With that, he didn’t linger, transforming into a streak of Spiritual Light and departing.
His last words drifted back on the wind.
"Daoist Li, you have one year to consider. If you let this pass, the opportunity will be gone for good."
Li Chang’an glanced at the Spirit Contract.
He had to admit, the terms Liu Xuanfeng offered were quite good.
The resources listed in the Spirit Contract were enough to raise two more Tier Two Spirit Beasts.
But the resources were secondary. The most important part of the offer was becoming his friend.
Becoming friends with a Celestial Pride from a Nascent Soul Sect was sothing countless Loose Cultivators could only dream of.
However, Li Chang’an didn’t care.
He casually tossed the Spirit Contract into a corner and sank into thought.
’How does this Liu Xuanfeng know I have an Earth Elent Spirit Beast, and why is he so determined to buy it?’
Liu Xuanfeng’s parting words had clearly carried a threatening undertone.
The one-year deadline was the grace period he was granting Li Chang’an.
Clearly, if Li Chang’an didn’t seek him out by the deadline, he would resort to other ans.
He hailed from a Nascent Soul Sect, after all, and had plenty of thods at his disposal. Dealing with an ordinary Foundation Establishnt Loose Cultivator would be child’s play for him.
Fortunately, Li Chang’an was no ordinary Loose Cultivator.
He wasn’t afraid of Liu Xuanfeng, but he did want to figure out why the man wanted to buy Dahuang.
’Although Dahuang has a Tier Two Late Stage Cultivation and is a decent asset in a fight, that’s not enough to make a Celestial Pride from a Nascent Soul Sect like Liu Xuanfeng co to my door seeking a deal personally.’
Li Chang’an pondered.
’Dahuang’s most unique trait is its bloodline.’
’Ordinary Yellow Sand Dogs only have a Middle Grade Bloodline, but Dahuang consud a Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone, elevating its bloodline to Top Grade.’
’Could it be because of the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone?’
Li Chang’an’s heart sank.
’If outsiders knew about a Treasure like the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone, it would surely get killed.’
’But Dahuang has already absorbed the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone completely.’
’How could Liu Xuanfeng possibly sense it?’
’The Cultivation Immortality Realm is full of strange and wondrous things, with countless bizarre techniques. Perhaps there is so thod that can sense a Demon Beast that has consud a Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone.’
At this thought, an imnse sense of danger washed over Li Chang’an.
’If my guess is right, this is going to be a huge problem.’
’Could people from other Nascent Soul Sects also sense that Dahuang has consud the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone?’
’I have to hide Dahuang sowhere safe enough and find a way to conceal his aura.’
After pondering for a mont, Li Chang’an summoned Dahuang.
