Mysterious mirror hanging high

Chapter 1036 Yin Hexagram

"I have already told Fellow Daoist Luo that he is just a rogue cultivator."

"A rogue cultivator?" Evergreen looked astonished.

Just then, a maid carrying a fruit platter passed by the group. Chang Qing Teng grabbed the maid and asked, "Fairy, please wait. Is the list of those going to the Fourth Heaven for observation included?"

Generally, the servants and maids of the [Void Raven Palace] carry such a list with them to help the participating prodigies get to know their companions. The list will briefly record the origin, lineage, status, and who introduced the participants.

The maid was also startled and quickly handed over a jade talisman. Chang Qing Teng grabbed the jade talisman, probed it with his divine sense, and his expression changed after a moment.

"These two were introduced by Zhu Hongluan, a disciple of the Huode Hall. Are they nominal disciples that Zhu Hongluan took in from outside?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Chang Qing Teng's eyes. He hid it very well, but it was still caught by Jing Yu, who had keen senses.

"He's actually that rogue immortal's disciple!" Evergreen thought to himself.

"Hmph... A nominal disciple of the Fire Virtue Hall? They can't even get close to the Fire Virtue Hall... With that rogue immortal dead, these two basically have no connection with the Fire Virtue Hall whatsoever."

"Moreover, I've heard that Zhu Hongluan has been frantically recruiting geniuses in the first and second heavens over the years, and has at least a dozen nominal disciples under her command... But then again, how many of these so-called 'geniuses' in the first and second heavens are truly of high quality?"

Due to the unique nature of the "saying one thing and meaning another" destiny, even if Jing Yu fully activated the "Heart-Reading Technique," she still couldn't read what Chang Qing Teng was thinking.

But the slight fondness Jing Yu had just developed for this person vanished completely.

He thought to himself, "Although this person's destiny is that of 'saying one thing and meaning another,' and I can't see through what he's thinking... his expression management is really lacking. Back when Senior Xuanqingzi opened our destiny, his expression and words were like a gentle breeze. Hey! Although this kid has become a disciple of Xuanqing Temple, he hasn't learned even a fraction of Senior Xuanqingzi's skills."

As expected, Chang Qing Teng quickly adjusted his attitude, still smiling as he said a few polite words, before turning and leaving, no longer wasting time on Jing Yu and Guo Ting Shu.

Guo Tingshu frowned as he watched Chang Qing Teng's retreating figure, saying, "Although this person doesn't reveal a single word of his thoughts, I still have a bad feeling about him."

"Fellow Daoist Guo, your premonition is quite accurate."

Luo Zixuan interjected, "This Chang Qing Teng... he's always flattering the powerful and belittling the weak, he's very snobbish and not a good person. Plus, he always likes to talk nonsense, so don't be fooled by him."

Jing Yu stroked his chin: "Fellow Daoist Luo doesn't seem to like Fellow Daoist Chang very much."

"When I was young and ignorant, he tricked me out of a spiritual resource. Let's not dwell on the past."

Luo Zixuan gritted her teeth, then turned to look at Jing Yu: "If you don't believe me, I'll cast a divination for you for free and see how you should treat Evergreen Ivy?"

Finally, Luo Zixuan added, "This time, I'll let you see the level of a true disciple of the [Six Lines Star Palace], and I won't charge you."

Seeing her resolute attitude, and remembering the name of the [Six Lines Star Palace], Jing Yu's curiosity was piqued, so he nodded: "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Luo."

"Alright! Fellow Daoist, please watch!"

Luo Zixuan's expression turned slightly serious, and the lively and carefree aura around her subsided.

She did not use any complicated rituals; she simply held the ancient copper coin in her palm, clasped her hands together, placed them in front of her lips, and gently blew on them, as if transferring an invisible energy into them.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, the copper coin made a soft "ding" sound as it was sent flying into the air.

The copper coin tumbled in the air, and time seemed to slow down at that moment. Jing Yu could even see the rust spots on the coin.

It rose to its peak, paused slightly, and then fell.

Luo Zixuan extended her fair hand and caught it steadily.

She didn't check immediately, but closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment, as if sensing the subtle touch coming from her palm.

Then, she opened her eyes and looked at her palm.

The ancient bronze coin lay there quietly, its dark side facing up.

An indescribable, calm, and restrained subtle aura emanated from the copper coin. Although not strong, it was clearly perceived by Jing Yu, who was standing nearby, and Guo Tingshu, who was watching from the sidelines—it was a sign that the [Yin Gua] had been formed.

"Yin hexagram".

Luo Zixuan put away the copper coins, her face showing no surprise, but rather an expression of "I knew it." Then she looked at Jing Yu, her tone carrying a hint of warning:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanjing! The divination result is clear; it signifies departure!"

"This divination relates to your connection with that ivy, clearly telling you—stay away from this person, do not get close to him, and above all, never associate with him or conspire with him in anything!"

"At least for the next period of time, you must adopt a completely cautious and avoidant attitude towards him!"

Seeing that Jing Yu seemed lost in thought but didn't respond immediately, she assumed he wasn't taking it seriously enough and raised her voice slightly: "Don't take this lightly! The [Divination of Yin and Yang] may seem like just a guide to behavior, but if you insist on getting close to someone with such a strange fate and unpredictable nature when the Yin hexagram is in effect, the backlash will surely come!"

Looking at the sincere warning in Luo Zixuan's eyes, and recalling the subtle feeling brought about by the falling copper coin, Jing Yu slowly nodded: "Thank you for your frank advice, Fellow Daoist Luo. Since the divination shows the yin side, I will keep it in mind and keep my distance from that Fellow Daoist Chang."

Seeing that Jing Yu listened to her advice, Luo Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, regained her sly smile, clapped her hands and said, "That's more like it! Listening to advice leads to a good life, especially the advice of us fortune tellers, which can often help you avoid pitfalls and disasters."

"Alright, the free divination is over. Fellow Daoists, would you like to have some other divinations done? Such as your path to immortality, fortune, or marriage? I can do a little bit of everything, and the price isn't too expensive. One session costs 100,000 low-grade immortal stones, or you can exchange them for equivalent rare and precious materials."

Guo Tingshu was startled: "Ten thousand immortal stones! Why don't you just rob me?"

Luo Zixuan complained, "Robbing money is too dangerous. It's not as profitable as fortune telling."

As the group was still talking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the reception room. Many prodigies gathered in front of the hall. Looking from afar, Jing Yu realized that two newlyweds had arrived.

The man on the left is a full ten feet tall and has an extremely robust build.

He was wearing a set of heavy armor, the plates of which were thick and worn at the edges, clearly indicating that he had been through many battles.

What's even more eye-catching is the sword he carries on his shoulder.

It could hardly be called a sword; it was more like a huge, unpolished door panel.

The sword was extremely wide and thick, with a dark, ebony-gold color. He casually slung this terrifying heavy sword over his shoulder, yet his steps were unusually steady.

Luo Zixuan recognized the giant's origin at a glance: "Tsk... The big oaf from Tianwu Palace has arrived."
