Chapter 40: War Disasters on the Journey South



Soon, Luo Yan and Shi Liuli were sent to Master Shui Lian by Elder Shi Ding.

This Jindan Zhenren is a taciturn cultivator - this is not surprising, because many cultivators in Penglai Yuqing Temple are of this type who are taciturn and obsessed with academics.

Accompanying him were two other Jindan Zhenren and five Huafu-level cultivators.

Luo Yan took a quick look and found that they were all fellow disciples whom he had met before but was not very familiar with.

"Now that we are all here, let's set off." Master Shui Lian nodded to Elder Shi Ding, meaning "I will take care of them," and then he called on everyone to set off.

Everyone flew up on their swords. Luo Yan and Shi Liuli suddenly looked back and saw Elder Shi Ding standing on the top of Penglai Mountain, anxiously watching them leave.

Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh: Elder Shi Ding, a Yuanying cultivator and a master of refining, would actually worry about the safety of his own daughter and his disciples. It can be seen that unless a cultivator ascends to heaven, he will still be tied down by worldly affairs and it will be difficult for him to be free and at ease.

Shi Liuli felt a little sad, but it was soon replaced by the desire to become stronger.

If I could become as powerful as Kunlun's chief Qiu Changtian, my father wouldn't be a burden to me anymore...

The team flew south on swords, and the whole way was filled with sparkling sea. Occasionally, aquatic monsters jumped out of the sea and attacked everyone, but they were quickly eliminated by everyone using various means.

Luo Yan secretly noticed that Master Shui Lian was using a magic whisk. When it was waved, countless silver whiskers flew out. It could split mountains and seas, penetrate gold and split rocks. It was extremely powerful.

As for the other people, their magic weapons and flying swords were not very impressive. They only exerted their power by virtue of their grade, so it’s better not to mention them.

Everyone says that the monks from Penglai Yuqing Temple are not good at fighting. I think they are more than just not good at fighting, they can be said to be extremely weak.

In terms of cultivation level, it is not as good as Kunlun; in terms of combat experience, it is not as good as Shushan.

In the final analysis, people in production professions should not do the work of combat professions. It is like being in a field not suitable for you and a complete waste.

He kept shaking his head. Shi Liuli saw this and started to grumble in his heart.

In the past, she couldn’t tell everyone’s strength level. She only saw flying swords spinning, magic weapons turning rapidly, shining brightly, and extremely gorgeous... As long as it looks good, it’s powerful!

After practicing in seclusion in the secret realm of Kuacang Mountain for such a long time, and being bullied by Luo Yan for a long time, Miss Shi has now broadened her horizons.

Looking at the battles between these monks of the same level, they have no accuracy, no strength, and even their timing is not very good.

Trash!

As for Master Shui Lian, the only magic weapon he had, the whisk, was quite capable of fighting. When activated, a large amount of silver whiskers shot out, as rapid as a rainstorm and as fast as lightning... but the opponent used it as a magic weapon like the Heaven-Flipping Seal, and hit him on the head as soon as they met, without any technical skills at all.

However, this Shui Lian Zhenren seems to be mainly practicing alchemy, so it is normal that he has little experience in combat.

Thinking of this, Shi Liuli suddenly felt something was wrong.

In this team, except for me and my junior brother, the fighting strength of the rest of the people doesn’t seem to be very high?

No, you have to tell the fortune first.

She flew her sword silently and went behind Luo Yan. She flipped her right hand into her sleeve and took out six copper coins. She placed them in the palm of her left hand and then showed them to everyone.

Shi Liuli: ...

Her face suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yan noticed her little movement and turned around to ask.

"Junior brother." Shi Liuli said in a low voice, "Let's run away."

Luo Yan: ???

"I just made a prediction." Shi Liuli continued, "This team is going to be in danger!"

"What hexagram?" Luo Yan asked blankly.

"It's the copper coin hexagram method that Yin Xuantian Zuo Mingjun taught me last time in the secret realm of Kuancang Mountain!" Shi Liuli said quickly.

Luo Yan was stunned for a long while (after all, he had switched between several characters and had forgotten a little about the secret realm of Kuacang Mountain), before he could barely remember Miss Shi. It seemed that she had obtained a magic weapon, a magic sword, and a secret method of divination in the secret realm.

"What?" he asked in a low voice.

"Traveling south will bring disasters and blood, which is unlucky." Shi Liuli replied.

Luo Yan was immediately puzzled. He was not completely ignorant of the art of calculation. After all, he had the talent of understanding everything he heard, and he had more or less dabbled in all the miscellaneous studies of Yuqing Temple.

In the art of calculation, the results obtained in most cases are quite ambiguous.

The result of Shi Liuli's divination, "Don't go south, seeing blood will be very dangerous", is equivalent to putting the answer directly in your face... It is really rare.

It would be fine if that is true, but I am afraid that you, Miss Shi, have calculated wrongly, okay?

"How about we calculate it again?" Luo Yan suggested cautiously, "Even Master Shui Lian wouldn't be convinced by this result."

"You can't have two interpretations of the same divination, do you understand?" Shi Liuli taught him, "If Master Shui Lian doesn't listen, we'll just run away!"

"But Senior Sister," Luo Yan persuaded patiently, "Although I don't understand the art of divination, if we just run away like this, it will make Master even more passive in the temple."

Shi Liuli was speechless.

Indeed, art is one thing and politics is another.

The result of the divination showed a very bad omen, which could not be a legitimate reason for running away. Unless he could convince Master Shui Lian, otherwise, once the other party sent a letter back to Yuqing Temple, Elder Shi Ding would really have no way to explain himself.

"I'll go talk to Master Shui Lian!" Shi Liuli was unwilling to give up.

"Okay, senior sister, I support you!" Luo Yan said hypocritically.

So Shi Liuli went to find the leader Shui Lian Zhenren and told him about the fortune-telling.

"Is Tiangongfang also proficient in the art of divination?" asked Taoist Shui Lian with a frown.

"No." Shi Liuli explained quickly, "I learned my secret method of arithmetic from a secret realm..."

Luo Yan was listening nearby, shaking his head in his heart.

Miss Shi is still too immature. You can just say that you got it by chance, why tell others that it was obtained from a secret realm?

What if someone covets your secret information and has ill intentions towards you?

Fortunately, Master Shui Lian did not show any covetous intentions, but just shook his head and said:

"It is common to see misfortune in the calculation results."

"Although Yue'er Island lacks high-level monks, it is not completely powerless to fight back."

"Besides, the purpose of this trip is extremely important. I can't rashly change the strategic plan formulated in Guannei just because of a calculation result."

Shi Liuli wanted to persuade him again: "But..."

"You and my nephew Luo Yan, stay behind the team." Master Shui Lian said without hesitation, "You don't need to go to the battlefield for the time being."

Shi Liuli was finally at a loss and turned to Luo Yan for help.

Luo Yan responded with a helpless look.
