Chapter 321 - 210: Ancient Inheritance, Teachings of a Former Sage

...

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an emerged from his seclusion.

He had gained a great deal this time, and it put him in a fine mood.

He went straight to the Xu Clan Territory, where he bestowed a Realm-breaking Elixir to help Xu Yang break through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining. He also set up several Tier One Peak Arrays for them.

That day, the entire Xu Family was filled with celebration.

Xu Yang thanked Li Chang’an profusely.

During their conversation, he intentionally brought up his granddaughter, Xu Nianqiu.

He hoped that Li Chang’an would take Xu Nianqiu as a Maid to serve him on Changqing Mountain.

But Li Chang’an refused outright, without a second thought.

His life was simple; he had no need for anyone’s service.

Hearing this, Xu Nianqiu, who had been hiding to the side, looked crestfallen.

...

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an headed to Yellow Crane Immortal City.

This trip wasn’t to buy or sell Treasures, but to see Xu Fugui.

It was because a genius with a Middle Grade Spirit Root had appeared among Xu Fugui’s children.

’That guy Fugui is certainly prolific.’

It had only been sixteen years since Xu Fugui’s wedding, but he already had over sixty children!

His luck was quite good.

Nine of them had been tested and found to have Spiritual Roots, earning them a place in the Xu Family’s cultivator genealogy.

As soon as Li Chang’an arrived at Yuelai Restaurant, he saw Xu Fugui’s eldest son, Xu Ping’an.

"Ping’an."

"Uncle Li, I’ll go get Father right away!"

Xu Ping’an bowed respectfully before running upstairs to inform Xu Fugui.

Before long, Xu Fugui came downstairs, a broad smile on his face and a baby in his arms.

"Big Brother, you’re finally here! I just came up with a name for this child. Tell me what you think."

"Oh? What name?"

"Xu Changqing!"

"..."

Li Chang’an was left a little speechless.

The man’s eldest son was named Xu Ping’an, and now his ninth son was Xu Changqing.

He couldn’t help but feel like the man was trying to leech off his good fortune.

"So, Big Brother, what do you think? Doesn’t the name just sound blessed with good fortune?"

"It’s fine."

Li Chang’an sighed resignedly and took out a Protective Treasure to give him.

Over the years, he had already given out more than sixty such Treasures.

Every time Xu Fugui had a child, he had to give one.

"Hehe, I knew you had plenty of Treasures, Big Brother. I’ll have to work harder and have a few more."

"You should probably focus on how you’re going to raise them all."

Li Chang’an sighed.

He casually cast a Magic spell, using the Spirit Testing Technique to examine Xu Changqing’s Spiritual Root.

Forty strands of Spirit Charm!

Li Chang’an was a little surprised.

It was indeed a Middle Grade Spirit Root, but it was only one strand of Spirit Charm away from being a Top Grade Spirit Root.

With such talent, reaching Foundation Establishment was very likely. He even had a chance of making it to the Core Formation stage.

"Fugui, you must raise this child well. If all goes smoothly, he will be able to support the Xu Family’s prosperity for at least two hundred years!"

"Don’t worry, Big Brother, I know!"

Xu Fugui vowed solemnly that he would definitely raise this child to the Foundation Establishment realm.

「About an hour later.」

Li Chang’an left the restaurant and headed to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

’Since I’m already here...’

He decided he might as well buy some Treasures for cultivating Spirit Plants.

However, inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, he ran into an acquaintance.

’Sima Rui.’

"Li Chang’an!"

Sima Rui was just coming down from the second floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. When his gaze met Li Chang’an’s, his expression instantly turned icy, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

At this point, neither of them felt the need to deliberately hide their murderous intentions.

If they were to run into each other outside the Immortal City, a battle between them would be inevitable!

With a cold expression, Sima Rui walked past Li Chang’an and left the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower without another glance.

Li Chang’an bought a few Treasures and left shortly after as well.

...

「That evening.」

He returned to Changqing Mountain and resumed his cultivation.

In the following days of cultivation, he focused his efforts on the Great Yi Wood Sword Array.

「A little over two months later.」

Li Chang’an had achieved the Entry-Level mastery of the Great Yi Wood Sword Array and was not far from reaching Minor Achievement.

Using the Divine Splitting Technique, he could perfectly control eighteen strands of Sword Qi, guiding them with his Divine Thought to form a powerful Sword Array.

’My current Sword Array mastery can be considered Half-Step Minor Achievement.’

Li Chang’an was very satisfied with his progress.

The Great Yi Wood Sword Array had already become his strongest trump card, surpassing even his Cyan Wood Divine Light.

After all, the Sword Array could utilize the power of Talismans to create single-use sword formations.

The Cyan Wood Divine Light, on the other hand, consumed his own Magical Power.

「A few days later.」

Late one night, Li Chang’an was cultivating.

Suddenly, the Array around Changqing Mountain came under a fierce attack.

BOOM!

The Array thundered.

He stepped out of his cave residence and saw several Tier Two Late Stage Great Demons frantically besieging Changqing Mountain.

Each of these Great Demons had a ferocious expression and an overwhelming Demon Qi. The aura of one Tiger Demon among them was particularly tyrannical, almost reaching the level of a Quasi-Tier Three being.

Moreover, an Array-Breaking Treasure was floating in front of that Tiger Demon!

’This Demon Beast is actually using an Array-Breaking Treasure against me?’

Li Chang’an found this strange.

With a casual wave of his hand, he dispelled the outermost Quasi-Tier Three array.

The Demon Beasts, their expressions cruel, all charged in, thinking they had broken through Changqing Mountain’s Array.

Little did they know, a true Tier Three Grand Array was waiting for them!

「A few breaths later.」

The other Demon Beasts were all slain, leaving only the Tiger Demon with the strongest aura. It survived, but was grievously wounded.

Li Chang’an used the Array to bind it, then walked up to it and asked calmly,

"Where did you get this Array-Breaking Treasure?"

"ROAR!"

The Tiger Demon’s eyes were bloodshot. It let out a furious roar, showing no intention of cooperating whatsoever.

Li Chang’an said nonchalantly, "If you tell me, I can let you go."

Hearing this, the Tiger Demon was clearly taken aback.

The blood-red color in its eyes slowly receded as it seemed to ponder his offer.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an took a step back and immediately swore an oath on his Dao Heart, stating that as long as the Tiger Demon cooperated, he would not kill it.

"How about it? You should be well aware that an oath sworn on one’s Dao Heart is extremely important to a Human Race Cultivator."
