Immortal Road.

Chapter 821: Divination from a distance, a very bad omen

"The conservation of luck is immutable, but I have been doing good deeds and accumulating virtue for so many years, and I can definitely feel my merits increasing."

Juejuezi supported this with his own experience.

"After all, all talismans related to luck are time-limited. Whether good or bad, they will dissipate within a certain period of time."

"This good luck charm of mine, if diluted and spread out into water, may save someone's life in a critical moment. The negative impact that comes with it will most likely be evenly distributed by the Heavenly Dao to more people, or returned to the person in question at a later time. It's actually not a big deal."

"At most, it's just a small matter like sneezing while walking, getting a tooth stuck while drinking cold water, or forgetting to bring toilet paper when going to the toilet."

Lin Shan was now even more confused and asked him how he knew that his merits were increasing and how this thing could be materialized?
Juejuezi stammered and couldn't say anything, so he could only tell him the technique he practiced, which could sense luck and merit in the dark.

"So magical? Take it out and show it to me!"

There was no way out. Facing Lin Shan’s tyranny, Juejuezi could only do as he was told and take out a booklet.

【Copper Chip Algorithm】

"This is just a technique, right? Then how do you tell fortunes?"

"Uh"

"Ok?"

"I also have this divination technique."

"take it out!"

Under the tyranny of Lin Shan, Juejuezi had no choice but to reveal all his secrets.

This time the reinforcement panel was changed again.

【Arithmetic with Copper Chips】

Quality: High-level spell

Introduction: The art of divination, based on the eight characters of birth date, fate, astrology, hydrology, Zhoutian Yi numbers, the five elements and the eight trigrams, etc., makes vague guesses about the past, present and future.

"Are there only the skills and secret techniques for the foundation-building period?"

Lin Shan flipped through it and found that there were many things in it that were indeed very profound, but they were still superficial and not of much reference value to him.

Juejuezi hung his head and said:

"My master only left me the "Copper Chip Calculation" and "Copper Chip Arithmetic" for the foundation-building period, and said that only after I break through to the golden elixir period will I be qualified to find him and pass on the subsequent "Silver Bottle Calculation" and "Silver Bottle Arithmetic" to me."

Lin Shan paused.

Then he took out a book from his arms and threw it to him.

"Huh? What is this?"

Juejuezi didn't understand what was going on. After taking it, he saw three big words on the cover:

"Silver Vase Plum".

When you open it, you will see all kinds of erotic picture books, with thousands of body postures drawn vividly.

To the layman, this is just a picture book.

But in the eyes of experts, the mystery was instantly deciphered through code words!
"Silver Bottle Arithmetic!!!"

Juejuezi suddenly roared, and most of the people watching outside were scared away instantly!

"What's the fuss about?"

Lin Shan's unhappy voice came from the side. Jue Jue Zi quickly suppressed his surprise, and asked with his goatee shaking, his upper lip not touching his lower lip:
"Senior, how come you have the Silver Bottle Arithmetic?"

This is a minor magical spell from the Bu Xiu school.

From the "Iron Plate Arithmetic", "Bronze Chip Arithmetic", "Silver Bottle Arithmetic", to the last "Golden Plum Arithmetic", these are the magical powers inherited from his master who was told by him!
Only when he has cultivated to the Golden Core Stage will he be qualified to find a master, return to the main lineage, and receive subsequent inheritance.

But who told him to struggle at the bottom of the cultivation world all these years, earning so few spirit stones, unable to rent a good cave, let alone buy good elixirs? It was not easy for him to empty his savings twice to break through the bottleneck of the middle and late stages of Qi training!

He is already seventy years old and hasn’t even reached the foundation-building stage, so how can he achieve the golden elixir?
Don't even think about it!
Now that I have obtained some minor magical powers and spells in advance, I am so ecstatic!
Because he knew that the arithmetic in the previous part was just trivial, but the "Silver Bottle Arithmetic" in the latter part was a magical power that could use the lifespan to peek into the secrets of heaven!
If I had obtained this treasure earlier, I might have established the foundation by now.

Seeing him look like a pervert, Lin Shan recalled the Taoist An Chun whom he met at the Demonic Star-Swallowing Gate.

This old man was of the same ilk as the Hongdong Patriarch and Zhilian Zhenren who tried to murder him. He was also a half-divination practitioner, possessing the "Silver Bottle Arithmetic" and constantly predicting the future by consuming his lifespan. Finally, he passed away in the secret storage of Yuxing.

Because the price of the Silver Vase Plum was too huge, he no longer took it to heart and let it gather dust in a corner.

"Can you learn what you got by accident before?"

This sentence stumped Juejuezi.

He is only at the eighth level of Qi training and is not a genius. How can he learn some minor magical powers?
Lin Shan found a loophole in what he had just said.

"You said that after you reach the Golden Core stage, you can go find your master?"

"Well, the master once gave me a token."

Juejuezi hadn't reacted yet, immersed in the joy of seeing "The Silver Bottle Arithmetic", but he didn't know that Lin Shan's next sentence directly cut off the fuel for the project!
"How about you ask your master to tell my fortune now?"

"Okay. Ah, ah?"

Juejuezi reacted immediately and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, absolutely not!"

Seeing Lin Shan's face darken, he hurriedly explained.

"Senior, my master once told me not to look for him if I am not at the Golden Core stage. Now, after so many years, I have only reached this level of cultivation. I am really ashamed to face him and feel guilty!"

Seeing him sighing, Lin Shan simply nodded and decided not to make things difficult for him and just go straight to the point of intensity.

"Ten thousand spirit stones."

"!!!"

Juejuezi was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands.

"Senior, it's not about money. The main thing is that my master left me this token. Once I use it, what should I do next time?"

Lin Shan didn't listen to his nonsense and raised two fingers.

"Twenty thousand spiritual stones."

This is a huge sum of money that even a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, let alone a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage, has never seen!
Juejuezi swallowed, lowered his head with difficulty, and tried his best not to look at him.

"Senior, it's really not about money! My master is a mysterious person who is hard to find. He only gave me this token. I can only see it once in my life. Others can't even if they want to."

Lin Shan couldn't stand the old man's hesitation and made an offer directly.

"Fifty thousand spiritual stones!"

"Puff~"

Juejuezi was still in an awkward situation one second, but he knelt down with a beaming smile the next.

"Senior, you are really good at judging people!!!"

"."

Lin Shan was really speechless about this old guy.

Just throwing the spirit stones to him is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a Nascent Soul cultivator who has destroyed many forces in succession and is worth hundreds of millions.

Juejuezi took it, opened the storage bag and took a look!
The densely packed spiritual stones of various colors inside almost blinded his eyes!
A young cultivator in the Qi training stage suddenly possesses a huge amount of wealth. It is inevitable that he is emotionally shaken and can't help but imagine how he will spend the money when he returns.

"Hurry up and contact your master."

Hearing Lin Shan's impatient urging, he quickly calmed down, knowing that it was important to get the business done first.

The red rope hanging around his neck was pulled out from his clothes, with a pendant that looked like a copper coin at the end. He was seen inputting spiritual power and muttering something, probably performing some ritual.

Before I knew it, a slight breeze started to blow on the street.

Then the copper coin suddenly grew larger and became as tall as a person. The middle eye of the coin was connected to another place, which was hazy and unclear.

A clear question was heard under the rippling blue light.

"Who called me?"

When Juejuezi heard the voice, he knelt down again as if by reflex, tears bursting out of his eyes.

This is his salvation, the scene he has dreamed of countless days and nights!

Respond loudly to Qianyan. "Master, it's me!"

Unexpectedly, the other side asked a direct question.

"Who are you?"

Juejuezi was stunned and quickly replied:

"Master, your disciple Juejuezi, don't you remember me?"

There was a sudden silence from the other side.

He seemed to hesitate for a while, then coughed and cleared his throat.

"Hmm, that Jue Jue Zi? Hmm, I seem to have some impression of him, but is it the Jue Jue Zi from Yan State at the southern end of the continent?"

"."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

"Ahem, hahaha, master is just kidding you. It should be Juejuezi from Luojia Mountain on the East Coast, right?"

"."

The atmosphere was very cold for a while.

"Ahhh, hahahaha, Master has remembered! You are the Juejuezi who was saved by Master from the claws of the ice bear in Beiyanyang, right?"

"."

There was silence on both sides. Who would have thought that the first call would turn out to be like this?

Juejuezi stood there in a daze, his face disheveled by the harbor breeze.

How many of me are there in this world?

Lin Shan was even more confused. Why did it seem that the Bu Suanzi on the opposite side had many disciples all over the world, and every disciple was called Jue Jue Zi?

Your operation is really amazing!

"Master, I am Juejuezi from Bozhou on the west coast."

Juejuezi replied quietly, feeling extremely confused and lost at the moment.

The fortune teller over there now remembered.

"Oh oh my, look at my memory, I remember it now! That swindling little Taoist priest from Bozhou on the west coast!"

"Ahahahaha. Hi, Master misses you so much!"

"My good disciple, you took the initiative to contact me, but have you already broken through the Golden Core Stage?"

There was a lot of excitement on the other side of the passage. It seemed that Bu Xiu was envied by God and was likely to die young, and only a few could grow to the Golden Core stage, so they cast a wide net and sow seeds everywhere.

Now that I have finally harvested a good seedling, how can I not be happy?

"Reporting to the master, I am not yet at the Golden Core stage."

Juejuezi lowered his voice guiltily and didn't dare to speak loudly.

The person on the other side of the channel quickly asked:

"That means he has reached the late stage of foundation building and is preparing to break through to the golden elixir?"

"Neither"

"Then why do you want to be my teacher?!"

Bu Suanzi seemed a little unhappy, and his tone began to grow colder.

Juejuezi glanced at Lin Shan, looked at the huge amount of spirit stones in his hand guiltily, and told him the truth about his purpose.

"Master, I met a senior who has unfathomable cultivation. He also has our sect's "Silver Bottle Arithmetic", so he specially asked me to tell your fortune."

"Oh?"

Bu Suanzi was a little surprised, as if he had never expected that the disciple he casually accepted would actually take on jobs for him remotely.

Especially the "Silver Bottle Arithmetic", which is a secret technique that I would only pass down to my Jindan stage disciples. Why would it fall into the hands of outsiders?

Lin Shan took over the conversation at the right time and said to Qian Yan:

"Is that Daoist Bu Suanzi? I have heard of your great reputation for a long time, so I came here to ask for your divination. Would you be so kind as to grant me a favor?"

Bu Suanzi responded across the channel:

"Of course, since you found me through my disciple, it is fate. What do you want to count?"

Lin Shan was secretly surprised. This fortune teller was not only broad-minded, but also very arrogant!

"I am going to do something big next. Fellow Daoist, please help me calculate the good and bad luck of my future."

"Easy to say."

The fortune teller did not ask him for his date of birth, but started to calculate directly from a distance. He could hear the rustling of coins over there, which was crisp and pleasant.

After a moment, the answer was given directly.

"Big evil!"

"What???"

Lin Shan couldn't help but exclaimed, is this fortune teller really serious about his fortune?
The answer is given so quickly, is it true?

Jue Jue Zi on this side had a look of admiration on his face, and it was obvious that he admired his master's divination ability very much. He wished he could reach that level.

"Fellow Daoist, I have completed the calculation. What do you think?"

Bu Suanzi's tone was calm and steady, and it seemed effortless.

Lin Shan's face was solemn and he asked again.

"Can you give a more detailed explanation of why the disaster is so serious? How can we avoid it?"

Bu Suanzi replied:
"I'm sorry, I can only give you a vague estimate. If you want to get into specific details, you'll need to use up your lifespan. I don't have much time left, so I can't stand the hassle. Please forgive me."

Lin Shan concealed his shock. He was now doubtful and his heart was pounding.

Originally, I thought that Sailor Moon was extremely reckless in taking the lead in attacking the Cha Nu Palace. A top-level force that has been passed down for thousands of years, how could it be destroyed by a mere Nascent Soul stage?

Now he asked the fortune teller to do some fortune-telling for him, and it was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, and he woke up instantly.

What made him doubtful was that even if he and his companions could not attack the Cha Nu Palace, it should be possible for them to leave, right?

Yuanying stage cultivators come and go like the wind. As long as our side sees that the situation is not right and retreats decisively, will the other side abandon the sect and come out in full force to encircle and hunt us down?

With my current means, I will encounter a very bad omen!
"Fellow Daoist, I have made my words very clear."

Seeing that he didn't respond, the fortune teller on the other side asked again.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Lin Shan thanked him, but he was worried at the moment.

"Ahem, well, your fees haven't been settled yet!"

The fortune teller asked for money for fortune-telling from a distance!

Lin Shan and Jue Jue Zi looked at each other, looked at the other side of the money's eyes and asked how much.

"An ancient treasure."

Bu Suanzi said so.

Lin Shan was shocked after hearing this. How could he raise the price so casually?

"Is the Taoist priest joking?"

"I am not kidding. Fellow Daoist is a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. If I save your life, it is equivalent to saving a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. Is the life of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage not worth an ancient treasure?"

At first glance, this seems to make sense.

Lin Shan was not fooled by his substitution of concepts at all and immediately shook his head.

"You only spent a short time to tell me the omen of great misfortune. I don't know the details of what happened, and I won't give up the idea or the itinerary. How can you save my life?"

"Just one divination and you'll get an ancient treasure!"

"Are you afraid of being blinded by money?"

Bu Suanzi, who saw money in his eyes, fell silent.
