"However, you can only teach him the hand seals, but not the mental methods. Otherwise, it will be harmful to him. As for how much he can understand, it depends on his opportunity." Xinghuan Qianji added.
Without him saying much, Mu Hanyan also knew that she couldn't teach Ji Gaoxian the mental method. Putting aside the taboo that ancestral skills cannot be passed on to outsiders, not everyone can practice the Tianxin skills. If he is not careful, it may cost his life. Mu Hanyan doesn't want to do something bad with good intentions.
"Master Ji, I'm really not satisfied. I have only learned the basics of astrology, and there are still many things I don't understand. If you don't mind, I would like to ask for your guidance, so that we can verify each other's understanding." Mu Hanyan said politely to Ji Gaoxian.
"What?" Ji Gaoxian was stunned.
There are numerous schools of astrology, each with its own distinct techniques. From ancient times to the present, it has never been heard of astrologers offering guidance and confirmation to one another. Even if there were, they would only be insignificant and common techniques.
He had seen Mu Hanyan's astrology skills with his own eyes. Although he hated Mu Hanyan at that time, he had to admit that the skills were indeed profound, mysterious and wonderful. So he never dreamed that Mu Hanyan would be willing to share them with him.
Ji Gaoxian certainly knew that what Mu Hanyan said about asking him for advice would be more accurately described as giving him guidance.
"If Master Ji doesn't want to, then forget it." Mu Hanyan joked.
"Mr. Mu is willing to give me guidance. That is something I could never ask for, so how could I not be willing?" Ji Gaoxian came back to his senses and said quickly.
"Well, I have two hand seals here that I have never been able to comprehend thoroughly. Master Ji, please help me comprehend them." Seeing Ji Gaoxian's humble attitude, Mu Hanyan did not put on airs either. She spoke politely and performed two Star Illusion Thousand Machine Seals.
Although there were only two hand gestures, they contained countless changes, so Mu Hanyan moved extremely slowly.
Ji Gaoxian stared at Mu Hanyan's hand gestures intently, with a gleam in his eyes, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
"Okay, have you remembered it? How about I do it again?" Mu Hanyan asked Ji Gaoxian after she finished the hand seal.
"Remember, remember. This hand seal is truly marvelous and infinite. It can even take away the power of creation from heaven and earth. Even with my talent, I don't know how long it will take me to comprehend it thoroughly." Ji Gaoxian sighed. At first, when he saw Mu Hanyan only showed two hand seals, he thought she was hiding something. Now he realized that these two hand seals alone would take more than a short time to comprehend, and they would be enough for him to benefit from endlessly.
"Just comprehend it slowly. There are dozens of hand seals at the end. Once you have fully comprehended the previous ones, we will comprehend the later ones together." Mu Hanyan said.
Ji Gaoxian was even more surprised when he heard that Mu Hanyan had no intention of hiding anything.
"Master Mu, you don't have to be so polite. I, Ji Gaoxian, am not ungrateful. I know you are teaching me this out of kindness." Ji Gaoxian gave a wry smile and continued, "But I don't understand. We astrologers have always treasured our secrets and never pass them on to outsiders. If there is no suitable successor, we would rather die than pass them on to outsiders. Why did you, despite past grudges, teach me such a wonderful technique?"
"Master Ji just said that astrologers have always cherished their skills since ancient times. It's a wonderful skill, but now there is no talent left and no successors. In the eyes of many people, the title of astrologer is no different from a charlatan.
To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of astrologers before, but when I got this set of hand seals by chance, I realized that the art of astronomy is actually mysterious and infinite. If used well, it can indeed predict good and bad luck and benefit the people.
It’s a pity that I am mediocre in talent and can never comprehend the mystery of it.
"This set of hand seals is called Xinghuan Qianji Jue, the painstaking work of a senior master named Xinghuan Qianji. It would be a waste if it fell into my hands, so I want to use Master Ji to carry it forward and make it worthwhile for Xinghuan Qianji's hard work." Mu Hanyan thought for a moment and said.
After all, this set of hand gestures was created by Xinghuan Qianji, and she felt embarrassed to seek fame for it.
"Well said, well said." Xinghuan Qianji's proud voice came in his mind.
Mu Hanyan quietly rolled her eyes. She probably thought that last part had hit a nerve with Xinghuan Qianji, otherwise he wouldn't be so complacent. He was already a nearly million-year-old monster, how could he be so vain? Mu Hanyan felt deeply disdainful.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Ji Gaoxian felt even more ashamed, and his old face turned hot.
When it comes to being self-satisfied, he is definitely not much better than other fortune tellers. He is also self-conscious about his lack of skills, so sometimes he can't help but guess, which makes him almost the same as the charlatan that Mu Hanyan mentioned.
"Mr. Mu is so young, yet he has such a broad mind. It is really admirable. Mr. Mu, please rest assured. Since you think so highly of me, I, Ji Gaoxian, will never let you down. I will definitely carry forward the Xinghuan Qianji Jue and live up to the painstaking efforts of Mr. Xinghuan Qianji." Besides feeling ashamed, Ji Gaoxian admired Mu Hanyan even more and said solemnly.
"Well said, well said. This little guy is not bad. I didn't misjudge him." The satisfied voice of Xinghuan Qianji came to his mind again.
Mu Hanyan could even imagine a white-bearded old man stroking his long beard, pretending to be aloof, but with his eyes smiling into a line.
"Mr. Mu, today you not only helped me to maintain my reputation, but also taught me. From now on, I will serve you as a teacher. If there is anything you need help with, Mr. Mu, just tell me. I, Ji Gaoxian, will go through fire and water to help you." Ji Gaoxian continued, while bowing deeply to Mu Hanyan.
"Master Ji, how dare you accept this? Aren't you embarrassing me?" Mu Hanyan hurriedly helped Ji Gaoxian up.
However, Ji Gaoxian was quite powerful and had reached the level of a swordsman. Even Mu Hanyan couldn't help him.
Seeing his determination, Mu Hanyan had no choice but to give up.
"Chairman Che, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today. I am a low-level person and almost ruined the reputation of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce today. You'd better look for someone else. I don't have the face to keep the gifts you sent me a few days ago, so I will have someone send them back later." After paying his respects, Ji Gaoxian straightened up and said to Che Xiang in shame.
Che Xiang looked at Mu Hanyan. To be honest, he was also scared to death at the auction. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he was quite dissatisfied with Ji Gaoxian in his heart. However, Ji Gaoxian was invited back by Mu Nan with great efforts and the head of the Wu family personally came forward. He didn't dare to make a decision on his own.
"Master Ji, you can't be blamed for what happened before. Mo Yanhong was scheming unintentionally. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have been tricked by him as well, so you don't have to blame yourself. If you are really willing to help me, I hope you can stay in the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. The Nanyan Chamber of Commerce has just arrived in the capital and its foothold is not stable. We still need your support." Mu Hanyan said comfortingly.
