He was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a familiar voice called out from nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Daoist Li, are you here for some Treasure Hunting too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue approached, her figure graceful and a bright smile on her pretty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an clasped his hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Liu, I’m just browsing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that exchange between fellow daoists, although Li Chang’an hadn’t gone back, he still occasionally ran into Liu Yue and the others at the Marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, they had become quite familiar with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat, Li Chang’an went back to pretending to browse, asking the prices of a few more items as if he couldn’t make up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his gaze shifted, and he pointed to the Spirit Beast Statue at the center of the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much for this one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner hesitated for a moment, not giving a price right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and tapped the statue firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound wasn’t muffled; on the contrary, it was somewhat hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This statue is hollow and protected by a restriction. I suspect there’s a Treasure sealed inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So, this is like a Secret Realm Treasure Chest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue smiled, her interest seemingly piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could say that. I’ve never opened it myself. Daoist, feel free to inspect it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he picked up the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed it to Li Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an took it. It felt a little heavy in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restriction on the statue’s surface carried an aura of decay and age, and there were no signs it had ever been opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some scammers could fake that aura of decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Chang’an had his Divination to guide him, so he wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just give me a price. I’ll take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner hesitated for a moment, just about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a strange fluctuation of Spiritual Power suddenly emanated from another stall nearby, drawing the attention of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young Cultivator was standing in front of that stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just bought an unopened Bronze Cauldron and was eagerly opening it, hoping to find a Treasure sealed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, the Bronze Cauldron began to tremble violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it abruptly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Cultivator had no time to dodge and was instantly blown to a bloody pulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless sharp, deadly glints of cold light shot out in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shield!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an’s reflexes were lightning-fast. In an instant, he threw out more than ten High-quality Spirit Shield Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Talismans flashed, and Spiritual Qi solidified into shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, more than ten layers of shields stacked one in front of the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They firmly protected him and the area immediately around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A moment later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of wailing filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people hadn’t reacted in time and were struck by fragments of the Bronze Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been able to react either. Fortunately, Li Chang’an’s Talismans had protected him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if he hadn’t died, he would have been severely injured!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Daoist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said immediately, his face full of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Liu Yue was also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What shocked her wasn’t just Li Chang’an’s reaction speed, but also the dozen or so High-quality Talismans shimmering before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Li, you... you can already create High-quality Talismans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lovely mouth fell slightly open, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her almond-shaped eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You have to understand, she had always considered herself a genius. It had taken her only three years to successfully create a High-quality Talisman. But how long had Li Chang’an been practicing Talisman Painting? It seemed like it had only been a little over a year!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged as he said in a serious voice, \"I concealed some things from you before, Daoist Liu. The truth is, I am not a newcomer to the Talisman Dao. I have been practicing Talisman Painting for many years, but I’ve always kept it quiet. It was only recently that I got lucky and managed to create a High-quality Talisman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Yue felt a little more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That made more sense. After all, creating a High-quality Talisman in just over a year was simply too astonishing. And there was nothing wrong with Li Chang’an’s explanation either. He was naturally low-key, never one to show off. It was perfectly normal for someone like him to be hiding his mastery of High-quality Talisman Art.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Li, you really hide your talents well. You’re clearly an old hand at being a Talisman Master, yet you pretended to be a novice in front of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue shot him a look, feigning annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether intentionally or not, she subtly moved a little closer, the sense of distance she had previously maintained now gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unperturbed, Li Chang’an looked toward the site of the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bronze Cauldron was completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of thing has happened before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re ancient relics, after all. They might contain a great opportunity, or they might contain danger. No one can say for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the first time he’d seen something like this, but it was the first time he’d been so close to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Before long.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zheng Family patrol team arrived, cleaned up the scene, and sent the injured away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators were highly resilient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Marketplace returned to its previous bustling state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the statue, Li Chang’an asked the stall owner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist, you still haven’t told me the price of this statue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to talk about prices for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner shook his head and said, \"Daoist, you saved my life. A life is worth far more than this statue. Just take it! If there’s anything else on the stall you fancy, take it as well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an didn’t refuse. Spirit Stones were precious, and it was best to save them when he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately placed the statue into his Storage Pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The purpose of this trip to the Marketplace has been achieved.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to head back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Liu Yue spoke, her tone especially gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Li, since we can both create High-quality Talismans, we should find some time to sit and discuss the Dao, to have an exchange. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood very close, and a delicate fragrance drifted to his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been a bit busy lately. Let’s talk about it some other time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chang’an was very polite but hurried away, giving her no chance to speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his retreating figure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yue bit her lip, slightly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This Li Chang’an is so dense! I invited him personally, and he actually turned me down!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「A few days later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A meeting for fellow daoists was held as scheduled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, the attendees sometimes discussed their Skills and sometimes flattered their elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the gathering, Liu Yue brought up what had happened at the Marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Liu, can that Li Chang’an really create High-quality Talismans now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning this, everyone was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Kun’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone quickly caught on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what? He can’t compare to Elder Luo in the end!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Luo was willing to guide him, but he didn’t even show up. He wasted Elder Luo’s good intentions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Low Grade Talisman Masters chimed in, with Luo Kun’s name in every other sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stream of compliments was music to Luo Kun’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Chang’an,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have a Middle Grade lineage, after all. He was only temporarily one step ahead and wasn’t worth fawning over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Low Grade Talisman Masters present were all confident that they, too, would one day be able to create High-quality Talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>",1402,"2026-05-28T19:22:03.166Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","705e13950f6eecf663d1aeba2f0f8f409e01a52df4c38be2484f430847171987","eternal-life-by-daily-divination-chapter-20","eternal-life-by-daily-divination-chapter-18",443,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-by-daily-divination-cover.jpg"]
