There is also spring for passers-by

The two men saluted each other, General Qin brandished his sword and General Yue held a broadsword.

Wen Wan thought there was something different, but the two of them just fought with swords, which was no different from a martial arts competition, it was a fight based entirely on force.

General Qin cut General Yue's arm. With bloodshot eyes, General Yue swung his sword at Qin. The sword struck Qin's chest, blood seeping out. But the onlookers continued to shout, "General Qin will win! Fight!"

"General Yue will win!"

Because most people had placed bets, the scene was very lively. Perhaps they had seen Confucian monks fighting, so it was rare to see a fight with real swords and knives like this. The people around were very excited.

Wen Wan sent a communication talisman to Guang Yuanzi, saying that she and Yan Guilai were watching the Confucian disciples fighting in the arena to settle their grudges.

"General Qin has issued a challenge to General Yue. Regardless of winning or losing, they will not cause each other any trouble for the next year. If he refuses to accept, they will meet again in the ring in a year to decide the outcome..."

It's all a setup. The two of them are friendly with each other in private and regard each other as confidants. They go to the arena to compete just to earn spirit stones. A fight can earn them enough spirit stone resources for the next year. Why not do it? I'm afraid there will be some savings by then.

An hour later, both men were covered in wounds, their clothes soaked with blood.

A disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall stood on the stage and counted to the fallen General Yue: "Stand up on the count of three. If you can't stand up, you lose."

"One, two..."

Before he could even call out the number three, General Qin fell to the ground.

Yan Guilai cursed angrily, "How do you calculate this?"

"General Qin, I'll count to three. If you stand up, you win."

Pretending to be very good, General Qin struggled to get up, but failed twice and could only lie on the ground, "Qin and Yue are tied!"

"Draw, how can it be a draw!"

"When mortal enemies meet, both want to kill each other. It would be strange if they can get up after being injured like this."

Wen Wan took the voucher to the village head to get spirit stones, invested 65 pieces, and got 1300 pieces in return.

Yan Guilai was envious, and Wen Wan took out 30 spirit stones and said, "Here, whoever sees it gets a share!"

Yan Guilai asked, "Junior Sister Mowang is really lucky?"

It’s not that it’s good, but that he doesn’t know it’s a trap and they did it on purpose.

After meeting Guangyuanzi at the city gate, he took the spirit boat back to Xiaoyao City.

Tianji Pavilion.

Wen Wan climbed the stairs and saw the palace building. In front of the hall, she saw a person standing quietly. His voice was low and gentle: "You're back!"

"Brother, the Rucheng Treasure Pavilion auctioned off the Time Sacred Flower and Space Sacred Fruit for sky-high prices, and the Fire Spiritual Root Immortal Fruit for 70 top-grade spirit stones. I have the Sacred Flower and Sacred Fruit, could you help me sell them? I can split the spirit stones I earn with the Tianji Pavilion."

Yu Jizi replied, "Okay," and said, "Master asked me to take you to the observatory."

Xuanjizi looked up at the night sky and asked, "How about internship in the secular world?"

"Master, I've benefited a lot from this. I can catch ghosts and have completed all the material from grades one to three. If I have any questions or concerns, is it Uncle Guangyuanzi who I would like to ask?"

"He's not even an inner disciple, so he's not qualified to be your uncle."

"Master, my current public identity is Pingyangzi's daughter. He and Pingyangzi were classmates."

"Three years of classmates..."

Xuanjizi spoke slowly and with a hint of joking.

"Master, after school starts, can I skip to the fourth grade?"

"You can apply and skip to the fourth grade as long as you pass the assessment."

Wen Wan smiled sweetly, "Master, I have learned how to tell good and bad luck, how to observe the air, and how to observe the stars, but they are all elementary divination techniques."

On the observatory, Wen Wan was very quiet when she didn't speak.

Xuanjizi and Yujizi are not talkative people, they only speak one thing at a time.

Yu Jizi looked at the starry sky with a worried look on his face.

"Mo Wang, take a look at the stars tonight."

Wenwan looked up at the sky. She had only learned the simplest things, which one was the Purple Star, which one represented war, and which one represented natural disasters. "When the Purple Star shines brightly, the emperor is in good health and the country is at peace."

Xuanjizi asked, "Want to learn a higher level of astrology and uncover the secrets of heaven?"

"Master, what I've learned now is enough. I only want to improve on the basics of astrology, divination, and qigong. Learning higher-level astrology would only become a constraint for me, and I would become timid because I know the unpredictable nature of fate.

I once heard a story about a white fox who had been cultivating in the mountains for a thousand years. She predicted that she and her sister, the red fox, would face a great calamity. If they survived, she would be able to live safely for another thousand years. She decided not to leave the mountains for the next hundred years and asked her sister to do the same.

But the younger sister didn't know anything about astrology and didn't believe in fortune-telling. When she was in seclusion, the red fox sneaked down the mountain and met a demon catcher who beat her severely. Just when she thought she was going to die, a passing immortal saved her from the demon catcher's sword.

Later, the red fox stayed with the immortal to recuperate and was taught by him. In just three hundred years, he achieved enlightenment and ascended to become an immortal.

Because her elder sister predicted danger, she hid herself from the world. Although she was safe, she missed a great opportunity.

Good fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows good fortune.

I respect the art of fortune-telling, but I don’t rely on it completely.”

Guang Yuanzi said that in the secular world, what each country sees in its observatory is the destiny of its own emperor and country, while in the world of immortal cultivation, the meaning of the Purple Star is different. For example, the Tianji Pavilion can see the destiny and country of all emperors and monarchs in the secular world.

Yu Jizi saw Xuan Jizi's troubled eyes and said, "Junior sister, don't go to the secular world again in the next year. You will face life and death in the secular world."

"Brother, I will be careful."

"Rest early."

Wenwan left the observatory.

When she came down, she stopped and didn't hear any of their thoughts or their conversations.

Seeing her walk away, Yu Jizi asked, "Master, why didn't you tell Junior Sister that her life-or-death calamity came from the person she trusted the most?"

Xuanjizi said, "She just told a story."

Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. The white fox sister is confident that she can see through fate and misfortune, but the red fox sister knows nothing but gets the opportunity.

Great disasters are often accompanied by great opportunities.

Everything depends on God's will. Although they are direct descendants of the Tianji Pavilion, they are also under the control of heaven and destiny. The Tianji Pavilion does not believe in going against heaven, but in following heaven's will and doing what is right.

Cave.

Wen Wan sensed the space inside her body and found that she was still in the process of advancement. The last time she advanced, it took several days, and this time it might take a few more.

She took out the newly bought book on the Four Arts of Confucianism, took out the introductory jade slip of calligraphy and placed it between her eyebrows. The introductory techniques and methods of calligraphy were transmitted into her sea of ​​consciousness. She compared her experience of practicing calligraphy for the past six months with the contents on the jade slip, and finally she was satisfied with the words she wrote.

At least now, her calligraphy is no worse than Yan Guilai's. She's mastered official script, Weibei script, and running script. True calligraphy practice isn't about just one style, but rather mastering at least three. However, she prefers running script and the ancient "Guan Ge" style used on Blue Water Star. In the secular world, there are three types of official script: Dragon Script, Official Script, and Weibei script. The so-called Dragon Script leans towards Song style, with its square, upright form. It's said to have been created by a calligraphy-loving emperor of the Qinglong Dynasty. He felt that official script and Weibei script across the continent were too stereotyped, so he created Dragon Script to create something different.
