Chapter 289: Chapter 179: Spirit Stone Grade, Bring Out the Reward! (5k)_3

[You have successfully extracted the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique (Mahayana Level), costing 1.2 billion energy, remaining energy 128.06 million points.]

[You have successfully extracted the Sword Control Technique (Minor Accomplishment), costing 80 million energy, remaining energy 48.06 million points.]

As the simulator's prompt fell, Su Xing's original energy of more than two hundred million suddenly dwindled to just under fifty million.

However, it was all worth it!

Two mysterious streams of energy entered Su Xing's body.

Immediately after, a flood of memories poured into Su Xing's mind, insights into the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique, as well as memories of the practice of the Sword Control Technique!

Originally, Su Xing's entry-level Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique was already considered half Immortal in the human world, a bona fide master of fortunetelling, geomancy, fate-changing, and divination.

But now, with the influx of Mahayana-level memories, Su Xing's understanding of destiny had already transcended the realm of ordinary humans.

Su Xing's gaze was focused, as he diligently digested the memories of the Eight Trigrams Fortune-Telling Technique in his mind.

It was only after a long while that Su Xing slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes was a hint of incredulity.

"Unbelievable... the concept of destiny is so exquisite, covering almost every aspect of the world, and even permeates a person's entire life..."

Su Xing's expression was somewhat solemn.

With his current divination skills, he could see through the destiny of ordinary people, even the trajectory of future developments, at a glance—without needing to consume much cultivation level.

Moreover, Su Xing could expend his own cultivation level to forcibly change the destiny of ordinary people!

"Such means to change another's destiny in the blink of an eye are... almost divine!"

Su Xing marveled in his heart; his cultivation level had soared rapidly after over a year of practice, and now with this fortune-telling technique, he finally resembled an Immortal in the eyes of mortals.

A thought occurred to Su Xing, and mysterious Spiritual Energy appeared above his eyes; he then took out a mirror and looked at his own head.

This was the technique of Observing Aura!

"Hmm... a deep green color, even with a hint of purple! Indeed... I may not be the Son of Destiny, but with a talent that shines among millions of people, my aura is second to none!"

Su Xing was quite pleased with this.

Aura and destiny are elusive concepts.

Strictly speaking, after being nurtured by Su Xing's Origin Force, the Ink Ice Sword had stepped out of the category of Magic Artifacts and become an Origin Artifact!

An Origin Artifact is different from common magic treasures; it grows with Su Xing's strength.

After digesting the rewards obtained this time, Su Xing contemplated thoughtfully:

"Now I only have less than fifty million energy left, even if I add the goods from next week, I'll only have just over one hundred million energy..."

"This energy is simply not enough!"

Su Xing felt that he had to think of a way to generate more; otherwise, the breakthroughs for Return to Void and Broken Void Realm, and each level's need for staggering amounts of energy were beyond his means.

"This week, I'll focus on alchemy for now... and if the energy isn't enough after the next simulation, I'll make a trip to that place..."

Su Xing already had a vague plan in mind.

Thus, for the following week, Su Xing was once again busy with alchemy and farming.

A week later, Su Xing, with five thousand elixirs in tow, went to see Jin Congxue.

Going through the familiar process of changing his appearance and concealing his presence, Su Xing arrived at the villa.

Today, Jin Congxue was wearing a dark-colored long gown, but her complexion seemed somewhat pale.

Su Xing entered the room, glanced at Jin Congxue, and activated his technique for Observing Aura.

The aura above Jin Congxue's head was deep green, just as Su Xing had expected; born into a notable family, with attractive looks and exceptional abilities, she was indeed someone guarded by a great destiny.

But then Su Xing's gaze sharpened slightly, as he noticed a faint trace of blood-red within the deep green over Jin Congxue's head.

Blood-red signified an impending disaster of blood and strife!

The red above Jin Congxue's head was light, meaning it wouldn't be fatal.

Even so, Su Xing spoke to Jin Congxue with grave seriousness:

"Sister Xue, it seems you have an impending disaster of blood and strife coming up!"

A disaster of blood and strife?

Jin Congxue looked puzzled at first, then seemed to realize something.

Her pretty face blushed, and she rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "You lecher!"
