Capítulo 72: Chapter 72: Sense of Impending Doom
The night in the Royal City was beautiful.
Not only the bustling night market, but for certain groups, the nightlife is the true beginning of their day.
Long Dahai always felt that the Royal City was a place that suited him and yet didn't suit him.
He enjoyed the beauty of the city at night, especially the beauty of the ladies.
But he was broke.
As a scattered cultivator, someone who is not attached to a specific Sect, he had spent almost all of his savings to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even his group of good buddies were in the same boat.
But now, things are different.
Among his group of buddies, there was now a true big shot.
The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, his superior!
'Come to think of it, it's quite strange that Brother Luo asked me to deliver the letter to that little cute girl— Especially the way she looked at me, it gave me a weird feeling.'
Could it be that she's taken a fancy to me?
Sigh, being too charming is indeed a trouble. I had intended to live among the flowers without getting involved, like a leaf untouched by the world.
Thinking of the verse that an unknown Holy Saint of the Demon Sect casually recited on the boat, Long Dahai couldn't help but be in awe of that person.
Truly worthy of someone who could conquer an extraordinary enchantress. His way of speaking was different.
And he was still one of their kind, despite being the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, he remained approachable.
If I were to have that kind of status, I wonder if I could still maintain my current state of mind.
Perhaps, during this brief period of enlightenment, he was thinking more than usual.
Shaking his head, Long Dahai walked out of a room on the first floor of the Red Blossom Pavilion, feeling refreshed, ready to move on to the next battleground.
But suddenly, he was stopped by a voice.
"Friend, would you like to have your fortune told? I, Gao Shi of the Heavenly Divination Tower, have some experience in divination..."
Long Dahai turned his head.
He saw a somewhat disheveled young man approaching him.
This young man was dressed in a slightly old-fashioned Taoist robe, with only irregular tear marks remaining on the left sleeve, exposing his entire left arm.
In his right hand, he held a small brass compass, and in his left hand, he held a large divination flag.
The flag bore golden characters, with "The Precious Jade of Heaven and Earth Can Be Discerned" on the front and "All Precious Gems in Heaven and Earth Can Be Divined" on the back.
'A Diviner from the Heavenly Divination Tower?'
Long Dahai was somewhat surprised.
This was not a common sight.
However, he became a bit skeptical.
How could a Diviner from the Heavenly Divination Tower look like this? And what's with those inscriptions? Shouldn't it be something like "My divination is better than divination of heaven itself"?
Seeing that Long Dahai was clearly incredulous, the young man who called himself Gao Shi wore a wry smile on his face.
If it were him, he wouldn't believe that someone in such a miserable state could be a disciple of the Heavenly Divination Tower either.
After all, in people's impression, the cultivators of the Heavenly Divination Tower were always elegant and seemed to hold the secrets of the heavens.
But he really was a disciple of the Heavenly Divination Tower.
And he was one of the most talented disciples of this generation.
'All of this can be blamed on the Tower Master— If she had to send me away, she should have just sent me directly to the Royal City. Sending me halfway like this...'
Moreover, the Human Immortal List doesn't start for another month. Was it really necessary to send me here so early?
And she even took away my storage bag, leaving me with only some daily necessities and Artifacts.
What did I do to offend the Tower Master?
Was it the incident three days ago when I nearly drove my Master into the demonic path? Or was it five days ago when I moved the green stone that the Sixth Elder had been sitting on for decades?
Could it be the one seven days ago, when I took away the treasure that belonged to my Junior Brother?
Forget it, it doesn't matter which incident it was.
Now, I'm really running out of money. If I don't find a few easy targets to swindle— cough, I mean, if people seeking enlightenment through divination don't come to me, I'll end up wandering the streets of the Royal City.
The ticket to enter the Red Blossom Pavilion tonight is his last bit of money.
Originally, he thought this place would be a good opportunity to encounter some rich young masters, but he didn't expect it to be so empty today, with only a few scattered customers.
When did the men of the Royal City become so virtuous?
Across from him, Long Dahai still had doubts in his eyes. "If you really are a disciple of the Heavenly Divination Tower, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"
"Ahem, this is a long story..."
As Gao Shi was about to come up with a response to evade the question, he noticed a sudden spark in Long Dahai's eyes.
"Wait— Gao Shi? You're Gao Shi, the disgrace of the Heavenly Divination Tower, the prodigy who shouldn't be in the Heavenly Divination Tower?!"
He finally remembered where he had heard that name before.
After pledging loyalty to the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, Long Dahai had inquired about Luo Wusheng's preferences. Among the easily accessible information, he obtained one crucial piece of intelligence: Luo Wusheng had a fondness for collecting rare and precious stones from all over the world.
During his search for information related to precious stones and gems, he came across a record about a man named Gao Shi.
Gao Shi, the most peculiar prodigious disciple of the current generation of Heavenly Divination Tower.
Excluding fortune and destiny, he had a unique passion for appraising extraordinary stones and gems. He even devised a unique path in the Heavenly Divination Tower's techniques, creating a way to appraise treasures. Through the feedback from the Heavenly Divination Tower, he could acquire various information about jade stones, and by identifying different types of jade, he could advance his cultivation of the Heavenly Divination Tower's secret technique, the Divination Golden Elixir.
It was said that once he reached the Golden Core realm in the future, he would be able to locate numerous legendary treasures with ease.
'Brother Luo should be interested in this person, right?'
While Long Dahai was pondering, he noticed Gao Shi's expression turning unpleasant.
Oh no, he has encountered someone who knows him.
If they knew he had no expertise in calculating fortune or destiny, why would they seek his divination?
Gao Shi let out a sigh.
"Since Fellow Taoist recognizes me, I won't disturb you any longer. However, I kindly request that you don't spread this information. I will express my gratitude in the future."
He bowed and turned to leave.
But a voice came from behind.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait."
Long Dahai smiled, his face beaming. "Meeting each other is fate. There's no need to rush to leave. I happen to have something to discuss with you."
He planned to bring this peculiar prodigy of the Heavenly Divination Tower to meet Luo Wusheng tomorrow, as a gesture of friendship. Although Gao Shi hadn't reached the Golden Core realm yet and didn't possess the ability to deduce the location of jade stones, it was rumored that the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect had numerous jade stones in his possession. Perhaps there were some that required appraisal.
Luo Wusheng would surely be delighted.
......
— Luo Wusheng Residence —
Lying on his bed, Luo Wusheng couldn't calm his restless mind.
The sense of impending crisis grew stronger.
He had a feeling that something big was about to happen.
"No— I must have missed something in my calculations..."
"What is it… Who is causing trouble..."
"Speaking of which, I've heard a saying before— Left eye twitching indicates wealth, right eye twitching indicates disaster. Both eyes twitching signifies a romantic encounter..."
"But I'm not pursuing any romantic interests, so where would the romantic encounter disaster come from..."
With the relentless twitching of his eyelids, Luo Wusheng spent the entire night sleepless, and when he woke up the next day, the big event of the Demon Artifact Pavilion reopening was about to begin!
