Chapter 30: Departure, In Search
Chapter 30: Departure, In Search
With such a pleasant surprise, I must personally make the trip.
If I can find two disciples who fit the protagonist template, my strength will increase even further. Why not?
Lin Fan decided to depart immediately!
Before that, he was a little timid.
What if I get myself into trouble?
But now, he was willing to take the risk!
"The Sect Protection Array is fully activated, so there's no need to worry about consumption. During our absence, only those seven will be here, otherwise we can't guarantee safety."
"Stay in constant contact with the Fifth Elder."
"And we..."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, "Let's go meet the person who fits the eighth sect rule."
"Depart!"
The five of them rose into the air and headed towards Hongwu Immortal City.
...
"The Sect Master and the others have already left, let's go too."
"To avoid any unforeseen circumstances."
"Yes, Fifth Elder."
Duan Qingyao and Xiao Ling'er, who had completely changed their appearances, quietly departed...
Outside the inn, there were people keeping watch, but despite their discreet actions, they couldn't escape the sharp eyes of the 'old monster' Liang Danxia.
However, these people never expected that Duan Qingyao and Xiao Ling'er could not only alter their appearances but also change their divine sense fluctuations and auras. Then, they boldly left right under their noses.
The journey was smooth and uneventful!
No one noticed them until they left Hongwu Immortal City, but the two remained vigilant.
"Let's take a detour."
Duan Qingyao whispered, "There are quite a few people around, and some of them might be more cautious and vigilant. Perhaps anyone heading towards the Moonseizing Sect will attract their attention or even be followed."
"So, let's head west first. Once we reach an uninhabited area, we'll turn back and approach the Moonseizing Sect from the side."
"I'll follow your plan."
Xiao Ling'er, disguised as an old woman, nodded lightly.
At this moment, Duan Qingyao, from the outside, appeared to be a rough old man...
The two quietly left.
Even if there were some 'unexpected situations', Duan Qingyao's strength could still resolve them.
...
On the other side, Fan Jianqiang hid in the shadows, took out his divination items, and cast a divination for himself.
"Huh?"
"Great fortune?"
The result surprised him: "After so long, with a divination every day, this is the first time I've gotten a great fortune divination. It seems I can't miss this opportunity!"
According to the divination, outside the northeast gate of the city, there's a fortune-teller.
He frowned slightly: "I originally wanted to leave quietly, but now it seems that leaving quietly isn't the best option. As long as I'm careful, there shouldn't be any unexpected situations."
After a moment, Fan Jianqiang packed up.
He transformed into a middle-aged fortune-teller.
Holding a canvas with the words 'Iron Mouth Direct Judgment' written on it.
...and then boldly left his hiding place...
Soon after, outside the northwest gate, among the many 'stalls', there was an additional fortune-telling stall.
Time passed, and the sun gradually set.
Fan Jianqiang wasn't in a hurry. He welcomed anyone who came for a fortune-telling, accepting Yuan Stones, copper coins, and silver coins without discrimination. Plus, he had some real skills, and his divinations were quite accurate. The number of people at his stall didn't decrease but rather increased.
Occasionally, there were sounds of breaking through the sky.
Cultivators came and went, creating a bustling atmosphere.
Fan Jianqiang, while divining, had a pair of eyes that seemed a bit shifty, constantly watching his surroundings, ready to flee at any moment.
"Even if it's a great fortune divination, I'll run at the first sign of danger."
"Great fortune can wait, but if I lose my life, it'll be a real loss!"
This guy shook his head, his eyes rolling.
······
"They've already left, and their journey is relatively safe."
Wu Xingyun and Lin Fan hurried to the outskirts of Hongwu Immortal City.
The other three elders discreetly escorted Xiao Ling'er and the others.
However, they wouldn't have appeared if Xiao Ling'er hadn't encountered danger.
Wu Xingyun protected Lin Fan as they landed outside the northwest gate, "But finding someone who fits the eighth rule of the sect's regulations might be challenging."
"Mhm."
Lin Fan nodded, "Since they are extremely cautious, they will naturally hide themselves better than anyone else, and... there's a high chance they have some hidden trump cards."
Wu Xingyun understood half of what he meant.
Hiding themselves deeply was understandable.
But hidden trump cards?
What kind of cultivator doesn't have some hidden tricks up their sleeve?
"Let's leave it to fate."
Lin Fan also felt helpless.
He naturally hoped to recruit more disciples with protagonist templates, but for such matters, it's best to let fate decide.
"Why are there so many people lined up over there?"
He glanced over and noticed a stall.
Logically, those setting up stalls outside the city should be the less reputable ones, right?
But this stall was packed with people, making it hard not to attract attention.
"Iron Mouth Direct Judgment?"
Wu Xingyun scanned with his divine sense, "A fortune-teller."
"With so many people, he must be quite accurate."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, "Then let's give it a try."
"But he's a cultivator, and he doesn't have any cultivation base. How can a mortal bear the cause and effect of a cultivator?" Wu Xingyun wasn't convinced.
"What's the harm in trying?"
Lin Fan still wanted to give it a shot.
It wasn't a sudden inspiration; he simply wanted to test whether the fortune-teller in the cultivation world had real skills or was just like the swindlers he encountered before his transmigration, only knowing how to deceive and cheat.
He still remembered a fortune-teller he met a few years ago who blurted out, "Young man, I see your forehead is dark, indicating impending bloodshed and disaster!"
Lin Fan naturally didn't believe such a 'classic' line, but the other party continued, "Don't be skeptical. Let me predict for you. Your... father is alive, but your mother passed away first!"
Lin Fan pondered, 'Damn, that's accurate!' and then was swindled out of half a month's salary.
It wasn't until a few days later that he realized this guy was a real swindler.
'Father is alive, but mother passed away first'? That's a universal line!
No matter how you explain it, it's correct!
Father passed away first? Correct.
Mother left first? Also correct. Father is alive, but mother passed away first!
Even if both parents are still alive, it can still be considered correct because there's no way to disprove it immediately.
It's not like you can become the Grim Reaper to prove the fortune-teller wrong by taking the lives of both parents on the spot, right?!
However, since the Xianwu Continent is a cultivation world, it shouldn't be filled with swindlers, right?
Moreover, this fortune-teller is setting up his stall at the city gate, and so many people are patronizing him. He must be skilled.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up, "Second Elder, let's do this and that, and then this and that."
"If he passes the test, finding Fan Jianqiang shouldn't be difficult."
"If he fails, we'll only lose one Yuan Stone at most."
"As the Sect Master said."
Seeing Lin Fan's insistence, Wu Xingyun couldn't refuse. He stepped forward and exchanged a Yuan Stone for a better spot. The person was just an ordinary mortal and naturally left happily, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
"Next."
Fan Jianqiang spoke, and Wu Xingyun stepped forward.
