Chapter 908 - I’ll Go and Ask My Master to Come Out!

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

“What!?” Elder Ren Kui had spent a whole night on divination, giving people the impression that he had gotten more grey hair overnight. After coming back from being engrossed in divination, he looked at Coach Wang in puzzlement. “Didn’t you say that I’ve got 13 correct answers? How come we’re out of money?!”

We’re supposed to have won a ton of money!

“But... but...” Coach Wang said helplessly, “We lost more. Besides, we were not prepared for this and didn’t have many immortal crystals with us. Two hours ago, we used up all the immortal crystals in my storage space!”

“Why didn’t tell me sooner?” Elder Ren Kui said in fury.

“I...” Coach Wang explained in a hurry, “You looked so engrossed in your divination, and I was afraid to disturb you...”

“Is the shop’s Zhou Yi Divination Technique really so good?!” Coach Wang looked at Elder Ren Kui uneasily and asked, “Is it even better than the Heavenly Secret Godly Divination Technique?!”

Elder Ren Kui stroked his long beard and said, “This Zhou Yi Divination Technique is indeed powerful. It seems like there are grandmasters behind the shop. My master once said that, despite the great power of the eight major prehistoric families, they aren’t the best in every aspect, such as star observation, divination, and artifact creation. In Innumerable-Immortal Sea, some hermit masters are as good as or even better in some areas than the eight major families.”

“Then...” Coach Wang walked toward the entrance of the shop and looked back at the large audience that had been watching the elder do divinations. “What should we do now?!”

It was a very special time. Now that the eight major families had shouldered the responsibility of killing demons in the Lower Region in the name of doing the right thing for the world and were trying to recruit talented hermits, they couldn’t bully others at this moment.

But if they did nothing, it would show the viewers that their skills were inferior!

“It seems like... I must ask my master to show his hand!” Elder Ren Kui said meaningfully.

“Your master...!?” Coach Wang looked startled as he glanced at the distant void on one side. “You mean...!? The senior who taught you the Heavenly Secret Godly Divination Technique...?! Senior Xuanji Zi who is said to be able to decipher heavenly secrets with one word and is acclaimed as the Heaven Oracle by some immortal masters?!”

“Right!” Elder Ren Kui said great determination.

“But... I heard that Senior Xuanji Zi doesn’t even do one divination in 1,000 years. When some grand and prestigious immortals invited him to do divination for them, he gave them the excuse that he was cultivating in seclusion. Will he be interested in this thing?”

“My master refused those people because their requests of divination were too easy for him, and he had no interest in doing those divinations!”

“Indeed...?!”

...

When they were gone, bedlam broke out in the shop.

“Who was that guy?! He’s the disciple of the ‘Heaven Oracle’?!”

“Will the elusive ‘Heaven Oracle’ come to this small shop?!”

“Is the Zhou Yi Divination Machine really so miraculous!?”

Many cultivators stared at the Zhou Yi Divination Machines intently with greedy eyes. “Sir, give me a copy of Zhou Yi!”

A black-clothed immortal cultivator said loudly, “I’ll try this divination machine too!”

Gu Tingyu took out a small book named the Divination Machine Manual from the counter and handed it to him, and he said, “This is the beginner’s manual for the Zhou Yi Divination Technique. If you can understand the essence of it and reach the top level, you can do any divinations on the divination machine with success!”

“What...!?”

– Half an hour later –

A big group of people sat on the bench in the shop, each with a small blue-covered book in their hands, murmuring to themselves. Then, they began to do divinations with what they learned from the book.

Instantly, another kind of noise began to mingle with the sounds from the dance machines.

“Bell! Bell for 50 tokens!”

“Orange! I’ll put some on the orange! The hexagrams show that the next one is orange!”

“Got it! I got one!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A large group of people stood around one divination machine, and their shouts became louder and louder.

“Sir, I’ll buy a membership card and deposit 500 immortal crystals! I’ll try the divination machine too!”

...

At this moment, Mr. Fang, in the distant mortal world, was staring at the Task List on the System Interface.

In the past two days, the task progressed at visible speed, much faster than usual!

“Hiss... what’s happening at the Innumerable-Immortal Sea?! They told me that the Arcade Game Hall had just opened!?”

Besides, the profits has to be split!

Mr. Fang only saw a part of the income that the shop earned!

...

While Fang Qi wondered about the situation, immortal music and exclamations rose outside the Arcade Game Hall in Innumerable-Immortal Sea.

People looked outside and saw a celestial figure with a white beard and white hair coming in with floating steps while being accompanied by Elder Ren Kui and Coach Wang.

The old man had an extremely high and full forehead, and vague purple light flashed on his face. While holding a bronze divination plate, he was followed by a green-eyed Kirin. With immortal lights forming a dragon image behind his head, his eyes looked so clear that it seemed like they could see through all illusions in the world.

“Master!” Elder Ren Kui bowed respectfully. “It’s in here.”

The old man nodded slightly and said, “I’ve predicted that a peer is holding a competition of divination here today. I knew that you wouldn’t be his match, so I got out of seclusion cultivation earlier.”

“Master, coming out of seclusion cultivation, has your divination skill improved again?” Elder Ren Kui asked respectfully.

The old man chuckled and said, “You just wait and see how I defeat him!”

Only about two hours had passed since they left. Gu Tingyun looked up and said, “Huh...? You two said that you were out of immortal crystals. How come you’re here again!?

“For the record, our shop is small and don’t accept credit payments!”

“Credit payment?!” Coach Wang reprimanded, “Old Man, watch your tongue! Do you think that we need to play on credit?!”

He put a storage bag on the counter. “Watch carefully! What’s this?!”

As he opened the bag, immortal spiritual essence shot out of the bag into the high sky. “This... this is...?!”

“Black Essence Immortal Crystals! One of them is equivalent to 500 immortal crystals!” Coach Wang said proudly, “Shop Owner, come on and bring us immortal tokens!”

Soon, the old man with purple light on his face sat down with a big box of immortal tokens beside him. He waves his hands and said, “I’ll begin the divination now!”

– Three days later –

After waking up from the one-night sleep, Mr. Fang looked at the task of earning money on the System Interface and almost dropped from his bed. “How come it suddenly increased by 10 percent!?”

In the Arcade Game Hall, Gu Tingyun and Zong Wu stood there, each holding a huge storage bag of immortal crystals. They begged, “Guys! Guys! Please take back these immortal crystals; you may go to another shop...”

Those people stood up abruptly and shouted, “You must take these immortal crystals! Do you have such a low regard for us?!”

“!!??” Stupefied, Zong Wu and Gu Tingyun held the immortal crystals and didn’t know what to do with them. “What should we... do now!?”

“Now, I’ll go and invite the Patriarch’s Prehistoric Immortal Soul!” someone shouted.

“...”
