Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1484 - 69: Divination_2

Chapter 1484: Chapter 69: Divination_2

The old Taoist, upon hearing the words, displayed a helpless expression and carefully said:

“Does the Immortal know how old I am now?”

This question indeed stumped Wang Ba.

Wang Ba’s gaze unconsciously shifted to the other party, and as his Spiritual Sense swept over, he discovered that the other’s bone age appeared to be around eighty or ninety years old.

But since the old Taoist asked this, it clearly was not the case.

Thinking it over, Wang Ba boldly guessed:

“Could it be the age of ear-shun?”

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist’s expression stiffened slightly, then helplessly shook his head.

Wang Ba became more intrigued and guessed again:

“Could it be the age of no confusion?”

The old Taoist shook his head again, not daring to tease any longer, he straightforwardly said:

“To reply to the Immortal, I am twenty-five years old this year…”

“Twenty-five years old?”

Wang Ba was momentarily stunned upon hearing this number.

He looked at the old Taoist somewhat surprised, then suddenly raised his hand, causing the old Taoist to fall in front of him.

He then flicked his finger at the old Taoist’s forehead.

The old Taoist’s hair stood on end immediately.

However, the next moment, Wang Ba withdrew his finger thoughtfully, his eyes slightly puzzled.

The remaining lifespan in the other’s body was also less than ten years.

And whether it was the body’s bone age or anything else, it was the same.

This was completely different from what the other party had said; either the old Taoist had deceived him, or the divination technique was indeed miraculous.

The old Taoist felt like he had just walked through the gates of hell, and seeing Wang Ba still contemplating, he quickly spoke:

“If the Immortal does not believe, I am willing to offer my Familial Secret Skill to the Immortal!”

While speaking, he hurriedly took out a piece of old gold paper from his sleeve, which seemed to have been folded countless times, and the corners were rubbed smooth and transparent.

The gold paper was densely inscribed with characters and a palm print.

Labeled with six control points: Taian, Liulian, Suxi, Chikou, Xiaoji, Kongwang.

Wang Ba’s Spiritual Sense quickly scanned over it.

“Minor Liuren Divination Finger Technique?”

With a pained expression in his eyes, the old Taoist carefully explained by the side:

“This is passed down from my ancestors, originally it was in tatters, but after successive collections and completions by generations of ancestors, although still quite incomplete, it also has many uses; it can predict good and bad fortune, observe qi to know destiny.”

“However, this Skill is easy to learn but hard to master, and all these years, I am the only one who has accomplished something.”

“Offering this method to the Immortal is a modest sign of my intentions.”

Hearing the old Taoist’s words, Wang Ba looked at the old Taoist meaningfully, pondered for a while, and eventually took the gold paper.

He nodded slightly:

“You’ve done very well to offer this to me, and I cannot take it for nothing. I can give you two options.”

The old man immediately perked up his ears.

“One option, I provide you with Cultivation resources. Without going into details, if your qualification is decent, advancing to Golden Core should not be a problem.”

“Golden, Golden Core?!”

“Golden Core Master?!”

The old Taoist was thoroughly shocked.

Amazement, bewilderment… and ecstatic joy!

The intense emotional turbulence made him slightly dizzy for a moment.

Fortunately, as a Qi Refining cultivator, his constitution was extraordinary, and he wouldn’t die from sheer happiness.

But in this moment, he had an epiphany:

“Opportunity… So my opportunity was here all along!”

Seeing the old Taoist’s shocked expression, Wang Ba could understand the other’s feelings at this moment.

If it were him back in his days at the East Saint Sect, if someone had offered him resources to directly advance to Golden Core, he would surely also be overjoyed and unable to contain himself.

After waiting a moment, Wang Ba continued:

“The second option is to return with me to the Sect where I belong. If you are willing and not harboring ulterior motives, I can also bring you into the Sect. You may weigh these two options, but I will only give you 15 minutes to consider.”

“I will go back to the Sect with you!”

Almost immediately after Wang Ba finished speaking, the old Taoist promptly spoke out.

He wasn’t foolish; the former option of reaching a Golden Core Master seemed very good indeed, but the person before him was the greatest figure he had ever encountered in his life; Golden Core might be lofty to himself, but to the other party, it was probably trivial.

As the saying goes, One’s fate depends first on one’s fortune, then on the geomantic winds… With this person here, why worry about poor fate or luck?

Wang Ba heard this, nodded slightly, and then inquired: “Do you have any attachments here?”

The old Taoist shook his head:

“The world is my home, my heart solely dedicated to the Tao.”

Wang Ba smiled, then asked again: “What should I call you?”

The old Taoist, with a slightly embarrassed look, replied: “I, the little cultivator, am surnamed Xu, named Dacheng.”

Dacheng?

“This name is indeed not small.”

This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.

Wang Ba commented.

Naming him after a realm shows the profound hopes of those who named Xu Dacheng.

“Then I hope you achieve it soon.”

Having said that, with a flick of his sleeve, both of their figures immediately disappeared into the air.

…

Wanxiang Sect.

Inside the Pearl Dungeon.

Many books from the Myriad Library were laid out in front of Wang Ba.

Given his position within the Sect, with just a word, these books were naturally there for his perusal.

At the moment, many books in front of him occasionally moved on their own without wind, their pages flipping.

These books were inscribed with Ziwei Number, Taiyi Nine Palaces, Liuyao Hexagram Casting Method…

These were all Dharma commonly used by the Department of Heavenly Secrets within the Sect.

However, these methods mostly yielded ordinary results.

Compared to them, not even the Minor Liuren Divination Finger Technique provided by Xu Dacheng.

“This is not because the Minor Liuren Divination Finger Technique surpasses the Department of Heavenly Secrets, but rather, as the many methods of the Department are based on the fluctuations of the four seasons and celestial bodies within the Little Cang World, using them to predict the future, ever since the Heaven and Earth Decline many years ago, these divination methods lost their efficacy. Afterwards, there has been no revitalizing figure in the way of divination, and naturally, no one could improve these methods.”
