“I’ve spent a whole half hour counting…” Zhao Xi was so tired that her back ached. She shakily handed the paper to Lin Che, who was reading a book next to her. “Great Immortal, please help me see what this divination sign means?”
He stood up from the sea anemone, went to the table, glanced at the final result, confirmed it was correct, and casually pulled out a book: "The art of divination is all here."
Zhao Xi tried to open the book, enduring the difficult and obscure classical Chinese text, and finally found the hexagram text after searching for a long time: "Li above, Kan below. Li represents fire, Kan represents water, water and fire are not in harmony, the fortune is not good!"
He spat and crumpled the paper into a ball.
After calculating for so long, it still turns out to be unlucky!
Zhao Xi thought, "That's not allowed!"
"You had no confusion or obsession before casting the hexagram, so the result is not important. Divination is not about asking the yarrow stalks, but about asking your own heart. You need to concentrate and calm your mind, and rely on your own strength to get the answer."
"Who says I don't have obsessions... Wait... On fire, underwater..."
Zhao Xi suddenly seemed to understand something. She rested her chin on her hand, her smile like that of a cat that had just stolen some fish, and looked at Lin Che.
A hint of confusion flashed across the great immortal's amber eyes. He hurriedly jumped off the sea anemone, put away his books, and fled in panic.
He forgot that Zhao Xi wanted to have a spirit sword that could control swords now, and was preparing for a long journey, so she didn't want to waste her spiritual energy.
Just as he reached the door, Zhao Xi caught him.
"Xi, Xi thinks, I have to leave early in the morning... No... you're stepping on my hair..."
So that's what "Li above Kan below" means...
Zhao Xi was very satisfied with the divination result.
*
A rough calculation shows that he won't be back for at least a month.
This set of yarrow stalks was left for Zhao Xi to kill time, since a fortune telling session would take almost half an hour.
Before parting, he also told her not to get too obsessed.
Zhao Xi originally thought she wouldn't get addicted to it; it was just a little entertainment trick.
She was just showing off to Atu that she had learned a new skill: predicting when the Vermilion Fruit would bloom, and she actually got it right.
Once the mood struck, he would always take out yarrow stalks and count them before doing anything.
It took a long time at first, but fortunately she had memorized the simplification method and was able to get the result in a few seconds.
If the divination indicates that someone will suffer physical pain, then the cultivator will indeed be injured.
If someone is lucky enough to get promoted, then the pet owner will actually get a raise.
Zhao Xi even wondered whether the divination was accurate or if she herself possessed the power of words.
"To consult the oracle, one must consider the right time, place, and people, and calm one's mind, burn incense, and bathe." As someone well-versed in the Eight Trigrams, Feng Xiaoxian fully supported the headmaster's mastery of the immortal's skills. He shook his head and analyzed her in his childish voice, "Since the headmaster is a person of destiny, she is not an ordinary talent. She must have a connection with the immortals. Even such a hasty divination can yield a relatively satisfactory result."
"Then let me tell your fortune and tell you when you'll be able to leave the Hundred Beasts Garden?"
"No, no need!"
Upon hearing this, the little fairy boy was so frightened that he turned into a wisp of wind and fled.
We can't just calculate it randomly.
It's possible that he didn't gain freedom, but rather, after achieving immortality, he became part of this immortal realm...
Shao Ende was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. His body was roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, but he survived. After recuperating in his own mountain for several days, he returned to the Hundred Beast Garden to ask for shelter.
He cried and begged to see Mei'er, saying that he would definitely turn over a new leaf, even if it meant staying in the animal park to dump swill.
Zhao Xi didn't show up, but after his pet owner Mei'er learned of his situation, with the support of Wanwan and Tongyue, she explained the matter to everyone in a gentle tone.
They were no longer partners in the Dao; they went their separate ways and never crossed paths again.
She's a little vain and wants to cling to men, but she's also kind and gentle by nature.
She gave all the savings she had accumulated in the Hundred Beasts Garden to Shao Ende, letting him go to other mountain gates on his own.
At least we have enough for the travel expenses.
Shao Ende took her money and left with a regretful expression, lamenting that a century of feelings and sacrifices had been wasted.
Mei'er rolled her eyes and then cried.
They were of lowly status and lived like ordinary people.
In all these centuries, she's only had this one Daoist partner...
Even the worst man is still a man.
Anyway, we'll have absolutely no connection anymore...
Under everyone's guidance, the pups have learned compassion. Just like the eight pups comforted Zhao Xi before, they surrounded their chief cat owner, hugged her legs, jumped into her arms, and stretched out their paws to comfort her.
The farce will eventually come to an end.
Xiao Jia and Tong Yue are considered the senior brothers and sisters here. In addition to their own cultivation, they are also responsible for teaching the children.
Xiao Jia mainly teaches breathing techniques.
Every day at noon, after adjusting the celestial mist of the formation, the intense sunlight is not so glaring. Pet owners will place futons in the open space beforehand.
When the time comes, the kittens, puppies, fish, birds, and other little demons with spiritual roots will come to sit on the futons embroidered with their names, bask in the sun, and learn how to breathe and exhale from their senior brother.
Many of them haven't even started to crystallize yet, and their bodies contain pitifully little spiritual energy.
However, if you want to perfectly form your core, even if your spiritual root aptitude is poor, you can start now to lay a solid foundation.
Different kinds of little monsters look different; the fish can't even be out of water and must stay submerged. Even though they have all sorts of facial features, they all have focused and attentive expressions on their heads.
This is what makes them different from other animals.
They possess spiritual roots, intelligence, and spiritual energy.
Zhao Xi thought that he might not be able to wait until they all formed their cores and became great demon cultivators.
Just looking at their current focus and dedication makes me feel hopeful for the future.
