Chapter 226 Divination
Liu Jun took the opportunity to remove his disguise and walked in openly.
Luo Weishui's residence was not large; it was more like a courtyard of a farm, built along a stream, and was quite elegant.
Just as Liu Jun went in, Luo Weishui also came out of the house, carrying a calligraphy brush and... three withered leaves?
Upon seeing who it was, Luo Weishui immediately perked up, but showed little surprise.
"I foresaw that a guest would be visiting today, but I never expected it would be Immortal Qingjun."
Liu Jun was not surprised: "Immortal Luo's physiognomy skills are beyond doubt."
Luo Weishui smiled, put away what she was holding, and gestured to the table and chairs next to her, saying, "Please sit down, Immortal."
After saying that, he produced another tea set.
"I did not know that you were an immortal, so I only prepared some simple spiritual tea. I hope you will not find it offensive."
Liu Jun walked over and sat down naturally, took the tea, and Luo Weishui poured himself a cup and sat down opposite him.
"What brings you here today, sir?"
Liu Jun didn't rush to answer him, but instead took a sip of tea and stared blankly at the mountain scenery.
After a long pause, he finally replied, "The scenery on Lingze Island is quite nice."
Luo Weishui wasn't annoyed, but instead looked outside as she had suggested.
"Even the most beautiful scenery becomes tiresome after seeing it for so many years."
"Today is the selection of inner disciples for your sect. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Luo Weishui smiled calmly: "There's nothing to see. It's the same every year, it's boring."
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes and no. I just finished casting a divination when the person arrived. It's clear that my divination skills are still a bit lacking. But since it's an immortal visiting, it's understandable that I was a step behind."
The Tianji physiognomy technique allows one to glimpse the ways of heaven, meaning it can predict the arrival of others with remarkable accuracy. His abilities are indeed extraordinary.
"Since you were able to predict who would come, Fellow Daoist Luo, could you also have guessed the purpose of my visit?"
Luo Weishui drank the tea in her cup, then poured herself another cup, looking completely at ease.
"The visitor has just arrived, but hasn't had time to calculate his purpose yet."
Liu Jun was also straightforward: "I have come here today to ask Fellow Immortal Luo to cast a divination for me."
Luo Weishui was quite surprised: "Oh? There are things in this world that even immortals cannot understand?"
"Yes, a lot."
"If even immortals cannot solve this, then it is even less likely that I could know."
If there is anything in this world that Immortal Qingjun cannot solve, then it must be a matter concerning the heavens or the continent. Luo Weishui knew that she was not so lucky as to refuse outright.
Liu Jun immediately saw through his thoughts: "It has nothing to do with the Great Dao or matters on land."
Luo Weishui quietly breathed a sigh of relief and took another sip of tea: "Then I can listen to it."
Liu Jun smiled slightly, staring at him: "From today onwards, will I still be alive within the next hundred years?"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough..."
Luo Weishui shakily placed the cup back on the table, looking around but not daring to look at Liu Jun.
With a flick of his hand, a pile of priceless and unavailable items appeared on the table.
"Take whatever payment you like."
Is this about compensation?
No matter how generous the reward, he wouldn't dare to cast this divination!
Did she sense something?
Within a century, that is, a century from now, will this continent lose the person most qualified to ascend?
Is this world ultimately destined to be abandoned...?
The Tianji Physiognomy technique always gives one more knowledge than others. The Yuanzhou Continent seems to be getting better and better, with abundant spiritual energy and countless opportunities in secret realms.
However, it was in complete disarray, with opportunities appearing in multiples, spiritual energy becoming increasingly abundant, and various immortal beasts and spiritual plants that had not appeared for tens of millions of years emerging in large numbers. Yet, no one had ascended to immortality for several thousand years, as if it were a final celebration.
And now, even this half-step immortal has asked such a terrifying question.
The fate of the Yuanzhou Continent is nearing its end!
"Fairy..."
Luo Weishui dared not continue speaking. He was afraid that his physiognomy was inaccurate, or that it was too accurate.
"You just need to cast the divination."
In the end, some things don't need to be explained too clearly; no one present is a fool.
Calculating only good or bad fortune is the least costly approach; it won't even shorten one's lifespan, at most causing some loss of vital energy and blood.
Unfortunately, what Liu Jun has in abundance here is pills that replenish qi and blood.
Luo Weishui remained silent for a long time before finally standing up. With a solemn expression, he walked to the open space in the courtyard, bit his finger to draw a huge Tianji diagram in front of him, and then closed his eyes to open his Heavenly Eye.
A rainbow of light struck down from the sky, and immediately the sky above was filled with swirling winds, rolling thunderclouds, as if the heavens were issuing a warning.
Luo Weishui was instantly covered in sweat, and the rapidly spinning Tianji Diagram in front of him was flashing and gradually losing its light.
A moment later, a bolt of lightning struck down, and Liu Jun, with quick reflexes, blocked it for Luo Weishui. Then, several more bolts of lightning struck down at once, and Liu Jun blocked them all without batting an eye.
This continued for about half an incense stick's time. Suddenly, Luo Weishui coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Tianji Diagram dispersed, the rainbow light receded, and the thunderclouds stopped their attack and slowly dissipated, leaving the sky clear once more.
Liu Jun quickly caught him, took two pills and put them into his mouth. Luo Weishui clutched the spot on his chest, his gaze unfocused, and it took him a long time to recover. The pills in his mouth quickly dissolved and began to heal his internal organs.
After a while, Liu Jun gave him another pill before helping him back to the stone bench and sitting down. He didn't seem too worried and sat down as well, waiting for his reply.
Luo Weishui took a long time to calm down before her thoughts returned, and she looked at Liu Jun with a complicated expression.
Liu Jun looked at him calmly and asked, "How is it?"
Luo Weishui opened her mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time. After opening and closing her mouth several times, she slowly said:
"Cause and effect are predetermined, and there is no way to avoid it. Schemes are easy to succeed, but people are hard to save. Ten deaths... no chance of survival..."
The wind rises, rustling through the woods, and the stream flows ceaselessly all day long; everything seems so tranquil and peaceful.
Liu Jun smiled, a silent smile that lasted for a very long time.
"……I know."
I've always known, but now I'm even more certain.
Luo Weishui looked at her and said nothing more.
His divine eye can not only see prophecies, but also glimpses of fleeting moments.
"you……"
Luo Weishui hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Jun slowly stood up, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "Keep these things."
Then he turned and walked outside.
"Oh, by the way, there's a kid here named Baili Shu. He's quite talented. When you have time, go and mentor him."
The person reached the door, but their presence vanished without a trace.
Looking at the things on the table, Luo Weishui fell into a long period of deep thought.
A person who could withstand so much heavenly lightning with his bare hands without a scratch, easily gave away so many treasures, and remained calm even knowing the outcome.
What kind of person is she exactly?
Luo Weishui's expression suddenly changed. She covered her mouth and ran outside to find a corner to vomit violently until her stomach churned with acid.
He hadn't vomited in two thousand years, and this was the first time he'd vomited so violently.
……
The scenery on Lingze Island is beautiful, but unfortunately she can't stay long.
After leaving the Xiaoyao Sect, Liu Jun flew towards the Xuanshan Sect, stopping and starting along the way. He would stay a few more days in places he liked and buy things he liked whenever he came across them.
She has so many spirit stones that it would take thousands of years to finish them all, and so many treasures that she could scatter them for days without running out.
But she didn't have that kind heart, and she didn't spend the spirit stones extravagantly. She would just buy whatever she happened to like. But there were very few things she could like anymore. Even if she came across something particularly delicious, she would get tired of it after eating it twice.
She still had many attachments to this world, but her body was already numb.
She tried her best to cheer herself up, but when she realized that the final outcome was unchangeable, that it couldn't be changed no matter what, she still felt lost, and then she accepted it calmly.
As Liu Xingxing, she has lived a wonderful life, more wonderful than anyone else's, and she should be content.
Xuanshan Gate will always be there, welcoming people to come and go, and watching the rise and fall of stories from generation to generation.
This is a place she can call home. Every time she sees it, she feels a sense of belonging. It is also the place she knows best.
"I am back."
