Eternal Life by Daily Divination

A moment later.

A Cyan Flood Dragon, hundreds of yards long, slowly raised its head from behind a distant mountain ridge. Its golden eyes, like two great suns, gazed upon the assembled Demon Kings.

Its aura was extraordinary, its bloodline noble, and its power astonishing.

"Everyone, for what reason have you sought me out?"

"Flood Dragon King, we’ve discovered a perilous area within the Ancient Ruins Secret Realm. It seems to hold a Treasure that can purify one’s bloodline. Are you willing to brave it with us?"

"Purify my bloodline?"

The Cyan Flood Dragon stirred at once, transforming into a streak of cyan light and appearing before the assembled Demon Kings.

Although he possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Race, it was incredibly diluted, amounting to just a mere trace.

The majority of his bloodline came from the lowly Demon Snakes he so despised.

For this very reason, he desperately wanted to obtain a Treasure that could purify his bloodline, setting him on the path of Dragon Transformation to become a true member of the Dragon Race!

"Is what you say true?"

"Flood Dragon King, we have known you for many years. When have we ever deceived you?"

The Black Snake King swore solemnly, his tone earnest.

The Human-faced Spider King and the others all spoke up, guaranteeing it was the truth.

With all six Demon Kings making a joint promise, it was almost impossible for it to be false.

And so, the Cyan Flood Dragon was convinced.

"Fine, I will brave that Ancient Ruins Secret Realm with you!"

A while later, Li Chang’an used the same ruse to lure out another one—the Fire Element Flood Dragon King.

Soon, the party of eight great Demon Kings departed from the Hundred Beasts Sect, joining forces to head toward the Ancient Ruins Secret Realm.

Halfway there, Li Chang’an made his move, suppressing the two Flood Dragon Kings in an instant.

The Cyan Scale Flood Dragon King roared indignantly, "Li Chang’an, I have no quarrel with you! I never even participated in the Hundred Beasts Sect’s campaign against the Southern Domain. Why are you doing this to me?"

The other, the Fire Element Flood Dragon King, was also furious and cursed him repeatedly.

These two Flood Dragon Kings were different from the other Demon Kings.

Their status was noble, and they hadn’t gotten involved in the war between the Two Domains. The Hundred Beasts Sect hadn’t made any demands of them, either.

All things considered, it was true that they had no quarrel with Li Chang’an.

"Fellow Daoists, my Path of Body Refining requires Dragon Beast Essence Blood, so I must ask you to bear with this. When I one day stand at the pinnacle of the Cultivation Realm, I will naturally let you go. I might even help you walk the path of Dragon Transformation."

Hearing the words "path of Dragon Transformation," both Flood Dragon Kings froze for a moment.

This was the path they coveted above all else.

With their current abilities and fortuitous encounters, the chances of them ever setting foot on this path were minuscule.

But Li Chang’an was far from ordinary. He had achieved Core Formation despite having only a Lower Spirit Root and had even obtained a heaven-defying legacy like the Demon Planting Technique. Perhaps he truly could help them walk the path of Dragon Transformation.

Of course, they didn’t really have a choice.

Even if they disagreed, Li Chang’an would control them as Puppets all the same.

"Fine! Li Chang’an, I will trust you this once!"

"If you can truly help me walk the path of Dragon Transformation, then what does giving you my Essence Blood matter?"

The two Flood Dragon Kings stopped resisting. They dispersed their Demonic Power and allowed the branches and roots of the Wood Seed to burrow into their very flesh and bone.

Li Chang’an used a Magic Gate from his Beast Taming legacy to extract a measure of Essence Blood from the Cyan Scale Flood Dragon King.

He sensed it briefly and nodded slightly.

’Not bad. The Dragon Race bloodline may be diluted, but it’s enough for my Body Refinement.’

’However, I can’t extract too much in a short period. Otherwise, it will affect the two Flood Dragon Kings’ cultivation paths and could even endanger their lives.’

Li Chang’an did some careful calculations.

At his current Body Refinement pace, he likely wouldn’t be able to gather the four required portions of Essence Blood by the time he finished the Third Layer of Body Refining. He would have to wait several more years.

Further down the line, the amount of Dragon Blood required for Body Refinement would only increase, and the waiting time between extractions would grow even longer.

’The Zhou Family’s Beast Taming legacy mentions an Ancient Elixir called the Blood Weight Pill. It can accelerate the recovery of a Demon Beast’s Essence Blood and help it quickly absorb restorative treasures.’

If Li Chang’an could refine the Blood Weight Pill, he could accelerate his progress in obtaining Essence Blood.

Unfortunately, the Blood Weight Pill was a Tier Three Top Grade Elixir.

His Alchemy Skill was stuck at Tier Three Middle Grade and had been for a long time.

Furthermore, the Pill Formula for an Ancient Elixir like the Blood Weight Pill had long been lost.

Not a single Alchemist in the entire Southern Domain knew how to refine it—not even in the Purple Mist Sect.

’Oh well. I can’t rush this. I’ll have to take it slow.’

Li Chang’an had his host of Demon Kings return to the Hundred Beasts Sect.

He, meanwhile, returned to Changqing Mountain.

「A few days later.」

A piece of good news arrived.

Jiang Muyu and Qi Yao had found the senior’s legacy and were in the process of passing the trials he had left behind from his life.

’They finally found it.’

A smile spread across Li Chang’an’s face when he heard the news.

He felt a flicker of curiosity. ’I wonder what kind of elixirs are in the Ancient Pill Formulas that senior left behind?’

That night, he soaked in his medicinal bath, continuing to cultivate the Spirit Plant legacy.

Time quickly passed, and soon it was Midnight.

A golden light materialized before his eyes.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[Jiang Muyu and her companions are unable to pass the trials for the legacy and seek your help. You readily go, pass the trials, and obtain a Tier Three Top Grade Alchemy legacy, along with the Pill Formula for the ancient Blood Weight Pill.]

Seeing the content of the Divination, Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up, and a slow smile spread across his face.

’I was just in need of the Blood Weight Pill,’ he thought. ’I can’t believe it’s showing up so soon.’

Before long, three Golden Core auras descended upon Changqing Mountain.

Jiang Muyu, Qi Yao, and Guo Zesheng had returned, and from their grim expressions, it was clear they had met with a setback.

Li Chang’an smiled and asked, "Muyu, how did it go?"

Jiang Muyu replied dejectedly, "Sir, that senior was just outrageous! He set up so many traps and mechanisms in his immortal cave that we can’t get through at all."

Guo Zesheng added, "Daoist Li, I tried multiple times, but I was never able to reach the depths of the immortal cave. We had no choice but to return for the time being."

They had returned both to recuperate and to wait for reinforcements.
