Chapter 2371 Bloody Disaster

“No problem!”

Great Master Xu Wu readily agreed, “Ye Yixian is a great benefactor of my Tianlong Temple. It doesn't matter if this monk bears some backlash.

Forget about one matter, ten or even a hundred matters are fine. This old monk can deduce your fortune for the next ten years, clearly and completely for Medical Immortal!”

“That’s not necessary!”

Ye Bufan said, “I mainly want to find a five-colored mystic stone, and I’d like Great Master to help me calculate where it is.

Also, I have a few companions who are scattered across the entire Kunlun Continent, and I can't find them now. Can you help me calculate their locations?”

“Don’t worry, these are all minor matters!”

Great Master Xu Wu was extremely confident in his heavenly secret technique. He stretched out his hand, and three turtle shells appeared in his palm. The one in the middle was as black as ink, while the other two were deep red.

He placed the three turtle shells in front of him, then formed hand seals and began to deduce using his secret art.

As time passed, the black turtle shell began to spin first, followed by the other two red ones.

At the same time, the intricate and complex lines on the turtle shells began to emit a faint glow.

Initially, Great Master Xu Wu’s solemn face showed confidence, but later his expression became increasingly grim, his breathing grew rapid, and his face turned pale.

His bald head was covered in fine beads of sweat, and a faint mist even began to rise from his scalp.

His aura became increasingly unstable, and even the surrounding space began to fluctuate.

Ximen Jiayin looked surprised. As the Sect Master of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, she was well-informed and had seen heavenly secret techniques before, but this kind of reaction was a first.

Ye Bufan frowned. This old monk was clearly in a state of backlash, but was it really necessary to go to such lengths just to divine his fortune?

Yet, there was nothing he could do to help in such a situation; he could only let him resolve it himself.

And just then, the three turtle shells in front of Great Master Xu Wu successively let out cracking sounds, shattering into fragments all over the ground.

Then, he let out a “wah” and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, collapsing directly onto the ground, his face ashen and his aura weak. He had clearly suffered extremely severe injuries.

“This…”

Ye Bufan and Ximen Jiayin were both startled, not expecting it to turn out like this.

He flashed to Great Master Xu Wu's side, first putting a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth, then moving like lightning to insert over a dozen silver needles into the major acupoints on his chest.

With the nourishment of Chaotic True Qi and the Rejuvenation Pill, the old monk's injuries rapidly recovered. After a quarter of an hour, Ye Bufan withdrew all the silver needles.

“Great Master, how are you? Are you alright?”

“I'm fine, this old monk is much better!”

Great Master Xu Wu’s injuries had mostly healed, and his voice was much stronger than before.

Ximen Jiayin asked in confusion, “Great Master, what happened to you?”

“I am ashamed, this old monk is very ashamed!”

Great Master Xu Wu’s old face turned liver-colored, “Just now I said I would help Medical Immortal peek into the fortune of the next ten years, but unfortunately, this old monk is incompetent and has failed in his heavy trust.”

Ximen Jiayin was even more surprised, “Great Master, what exactly is going on? Has your heavenly secret technique stopped working?”

Great Master Xu Wu sighed, “My heavenly secret technique has always been effective and has never failed. But for some reason, when it comes to Medical Immortal, it’s a complete fog; I can’t see anything.”

Ye Bufan frowned. He believed this wasn't Great Master Xu Wu's problem; it should be related to himself.

Could it be that because he came from Earth, crossing a realm, it caused the heavenly secret technique to be ineffective for him?

But then, he felt a bit disappointed. He had put in so much effort, yet he still couldn’t find the five-colored mystic stone?

He asked somewhat unwillingly, “Great Master, did you really not see anything at all?”

“That’s not entirely true.”

Great Master Xu Wu said, “I indeed didn’t see anything specific, but in my deduction, Medical Immortal’s future has both blood and fire, clearly indicating a calamity. You must be more careful in the future.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded. He didn’t doubt what the old monk said in the slightest. It seemed he was going to have some trouble.

He hadn't divined anything useful, but he had divined a bloody disaster for someone. Even a highly enlightened monk like Great Master Xu Wu felt a bit awkward.

“Well… I see that you have a fortunate appearance, so it must just be a minor calamity. In the future, you will certainly turn danger into safety, and your prospects are boundless.”

“Alright then, I thank Great Master Xu Wu here!”

Although the specific details weren't divined, the Great Master had already done his best, so Ye Bufan still expressed his gratitude.

With matters having progressed to this point, the heavenly secret technique was no longer reliable, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

After bidding farewell to Great Master Xu Wu, he led everyone back to Tianxing Empire Royal City.

Now that other methods were unreliable, they could only continue to wait here.

Another dozen days passed in a flash. With the Genius Prodigy Competition drawing nearer and no progress being made, Ye Bufan’s anxiety grew.

And then, on that morning, a child of about ten years old suddenly ran in from outside.

The Little fellow was dressed in rags, dirty from head to toe, but his large eyes were very lively.

“Who is Dr. Ye?”

The child’s tone was stiff. As he spoke, he looked around at the people in the room, a hint of fear in his eyes.

“I am.”

Ye Bufan said, “Little fellow, is there something you need?”

“Someone told me to give this to you, and said you’d give me a hundred gold coins.”

The Little fellow said, reaching behind his back to pull out a kraft paper letter and hand it over, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Ye Bufan took the letter and glanced at it, his expression immediately shifting slightly.

On it was written a line of small characters: “Tonight, I will auction a five-colored mystic stone at the Treasure Gathering Auction. The highest bidder wins!”

Although he had failed several times in a row, he still felt a little excited, as any news meant a glimmer of hope.

He looked at the Little fellow: “Little fellow, who gave you this letter?”

“It was an uncle with his face covered. I don’t know who he is. He said if I gave you this letter, you would give me a hundred gold coins.”

The Little fellow said, his tender face filled with longing. He clearly wanted those gold coins very much.

“Take all of these. Keep them safe and don’t let anyone see them, or you’ll have trouble.”

Ye Bufan directly pulled out a bag of gold coins and handed them over, numbering seven or eight hundred.

He was not a stingy person to begin with, and besides, gold coins held little use for him now.

“Thank you, Dr. Ye.”

The Little fellow jumped up excitedly, grabbed the gold coins, and ran out happily.

Ye Bufan turned around, closed the medical clinic, and gathered everyone to discuss the matter.

After everyone had read the letter the Little fellow brought, Jiang Fangzhou said, “Ye Dage, could this be another scam?”

Ye Bufan said, “Any news is better than no news. Whether it’s a scam or not, we should go and check it out.”

Zhang He, by comparison, was much more experienced. He thought for a moment and said, “Since the other party is going to an auction, there's a high probability that the five-colored mystic stone is real, and it’s unlikely to be a scam.

What I’m concerned about is that the other party just wants to use this to lure Young Master out and then find an opportunity to strike.”

Everyone understood what he meant. Currently, both the Demon Sect and Wuliang Temple were enemies.

With Ximen Jiayin here, they couldn’t make a move easily, but once Ye Bufan was lured out, they wouldn’t have so many scruples.
