Chapter 285: 140 Ziwei Star Number_3
“Many thanks, Manager Wan.”
As he said those words, Shen Yuan gently swished his sleeve and collected everything into his storage ring, leaving only the ancient profound ice behind.
Following the completion of the transaction, Shen Yuan chose not to stay any longer in the All-Things Trade Association. Instead, he chose to turn and exit their way down the stairs.
After Shen Yuan left, Manager Wan carefully placed the ancient profound ice into a specially made jade box, adding several precious talismans to it.
Manager Wan, while holding the jade box, entered a small room on the third floor, addressing the Great Cultivator of Transforming God present:
“I have heard that Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens is looking for items which could prolong life. You should offer this ancient profound ice to express goodwill to Rong Cheng Taoist Doyen of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.
We may need one of the True Monarchs of Rong Cheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens to preside over the next grand auction of the All-Things Trade Association.”
…
After leaving the All-Things Trade Association, Shen Yuan did not choose a place to stay. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Hoe Changzai of the Tianyun Sect, who had followed him out, directly asking:
“Friend Hoe, you’ve been following me all the way. Could there be something you need?”
Hoe Changzai stroked his beard with a smile, “I saw that friend Shen was showing interest in the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method and the Deductive method in the third floor.
I happen to have in my possession a book of deduction method for Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation. I wonder if friend Shen might be interested?”
At these words, Shen Yuan’s eyes lit up instantly.
In terms of his needs for various spells, the method of hiding his presence could only be considered second. What he valued most was the deducing method.
Unfortunately, the method of deduction is a secret that major sects do not share. Even the All-Things Trade Association could only bring out transcendent divine deductions, which may not be enough for Shen Yuan.
If he could obtain the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power deduction method, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan hurriedly asked:
“May I ask, which book of Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method does friend Hoe refer to?”
Hoe Changzai glanced around and set an invisible barrier before he reached into his storage ring and took out a yellowish book.
On the book are written the four clear words, “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling”.
“Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling?”
Shen Yuan looked puzzled. He’s heard of Zi Wei Dou Shu, which was a famous Profound Divine Power in the Primal Chaos Realm, but this was the first time he heard about Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling.
With the book “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” in his hand, Hoe Changzai spoke with a nostalgic expression:
“My Tianyun Sect inherited the Star Inn Dao lineage. After the Star Inn Dao broke apart five thousand years ago, the two separate lineages of Tianji and Tianyun each held a book of “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling”.
If one were to comprehend “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling”, they could inherit the forty-seventh Di Sha Shentong Star Number, enabling them to observe the future and understand destiny through the heavenly phenomena.
Unfortunately, my Tianyun Sect did not take advantage of the early opportunities, and the Stellar Numerology ended up in the hands of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, becoming their method of inheritance.
Over the thousands of years, the Tianyun Sect has been declining, and to the present day, no Spirit Refining True Beings exist. Thus, this “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” has become but a piece of scrap paper.”
Hearing this, Shen Yuan’s heart jolted, and his joy was almost impossible to suppress.
In the forums, it was clearly stated that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion collapsed due to Spirit Energy depletion, leaving no inheritance behind.
This implies that the stellar numerology of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion could have been lost tens of thousands of years later. Therefore, returning this edition of “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” tens of thousands of years later would be equivalent to obtaining an Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
Moreover, as an Earthly Destroyer Divine Power used for deduction, it could directly lead to the Star Avenue, making it a supreme treasure of numerology of astrological images.
Shen Yuan immediately asked Hoe Changzai, “What does friend Hoe want to exchange for this book “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling”?”
The value contained within the Stellar Numerology was unimaginable. Even if Hoe Changzai wanted to use this “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” to exchange for an ancient profound ice, Shen Yuan would agree without hesitation.
Hoe Changzai gave a slight smile, handed “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” to Shen Yuan, and said in an aged voice:
“The Stellar Numerology has already been controlled by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. This edition of “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” is nothing more than scrap paper to me.
Even if it is scrap paper, why not sell it to friend Shen at the price of a spirit stone?”
A spirit stone!
Upon hearing this price, Shen Yuan was taken aback.
You must understand that even if “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” can no longer comprehend any divine skills, due to its rarity of an Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation method that is not spread around the world, its value far surpasses those four Shen Yuan just purchased.
The price of a spirit stone was as good as giving it for free.
“For free?”
A thought flickered in Shen Yuan’s mind, and he immediately understood that Hoe Changzai was trying to sever the cause and effect by means of exchange.
If he offered it directly to Shen Yuan, there would then be a causal connection between him and Shen Yuan, which Shen Yuan might not accept.
But if he clearly expresses the profit and loss, sells “Ziwei Enclosure Fortune-telling” at the price of scrap paper, then it would be an exchange which would sever the causal connections.
Even if something were to happen later, Shen Yuan would not be constrained by the cause and effect.
At this realization, Shen Yuan seriously looked at Hoe Changzai and said:
“Whatever request friend Hoe has, please feel free to speak.”
Hoe Changzai chuckled lightly, “I simply want to, on behalf of the Tianyun Sect, establish a good relationship with friend Shen.”
In the end, Shen Yuan removed a spirit stone from his storage ring and completed the transaction with Hoe Changzai.
Hoe Changzai carefully stored the spirit stone, then turned around and nonchalantly moved away.
The Tianyun Sect observes the changes of fortune but does not take part, understands cause and effect but does not engage.
Although there was no cause and effect, the bond of goodwill had been established.
