226: Tongtian Pavilion is open for business, and customers are flocking to it!

"Someone! Go and bring the land deed for Wanbao Pavilion immediately! I'll gift it... no, I'll respectfully invite Fellow Daoist Lu to move in!"

This speed of changing faces was faster than flipping a book.

Lu Yuan looked at him with a half-smile. "The City Lord is indeed a straightforward person. Since that's the case, I won't be polite."

Before long, all the formalities were completed.

Under the personal guidance of the Wanxian City Lord, Lu Yuan and Gu Qingxue arrived at a magnificent building located in the core area of Myriad Immortals City.

The pavilion was nine stories high, built entirely of Star Wood, with flying eaves and brackets, looking grand and imposing.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi was so thick it formed a mist; it was truly a rare treasure land.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this place now belongs to you. I wonder what kind of business you plan to operate here?" the Wanxian City Lord asked tentatively. "In Myriad Immortals City, competition in the Medicinal Pill, Magic Treasure, and Spirit Beast businesses is fierce. Without a unique skill, I'm afraid..."

Lu Yuan looked at the pavilion before him, a playful curve hooking the corner of his mouth.

"Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures are too vulgar."

He turned around, looked at the Wanxian City Lord, and calmly spoke a few words: "I have some slight knowledge of the heavenly secrets. I plan to open a Tongtian Pavilion here to deduce the past and present, and determine life and death."

Hearing this, the Wanxian City Lord's eyelids twitched violently.

Deducing heavenly secrets?

Wasn't this obviously targeting Tianji Pavilion?

One must know that Tianji Pavilion had operated in the Void Immortal Realm for many years and had long since monopolized the intelligence business.

Lu Yuan was trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth!

"This... Fellow Daoist Lu has great courage." The Wanxian City Lord gave a dry laugh. "Then I shall congratulate Fellow Daoist Lu in advance on a prosperous business and abundant wealth."

After seeing off the Wanxian City Lord, Lu Yuan led Gu Qingxue into the pavilion.

"Qingxue, have someone hang up the signboard.

Wanbao Pavilion is a thing of the past. From now on, this place is called Tongtian Pavilion."

Lu Yuan stood in the center of the hall, his gaze deep. "In addition, prepare a couplet to hang on both sides of the main gate."

Gu Qingxue took out paper and brush, her beautiful eyes shimmering. "Please speak, husband."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said loudly:

"Upper scroll: Grasping the pivot and fixing the hexagram to connect the Three Realms."

"Lower scroll: Deducing the changes and observing the secrets to illuminate the Nine Heavens."

"Horizontal scroll: Deducing changes to master the profound."

What big words!

Gu Qingxue looked at the couplet, her eyes filled with brilliant light. With such spirit, in all the world, perhaps only her husband would dare to write this... The news of Tongtian Pavilion's opening, though not deliberately publicized, quickly spread in a well-informed place like Myriad Immortals City.

Especially that incredibly arrogant couplet at the entrance, which attracted countless Cultivators to stop and watch, pointing and whispering.

"Grasping the pivot and fixing the hexagram to connect the Three Realms? This is too wild! Even Heavenly Secret Master of the Tianji Pavilion wouldn't dare to boast like that!"

"I heard the owner of this building is Ancestor Qingyun Lu Yuan? Tsk tsk, that's a ruthless man. I didn't expect him to know fortune-telling?"

"It's probably just a gimmick. Fortune-telling depends on talent and Legacy. As a mere Cultivator, what could he know about heavenly secrets?"

While everyone was discussing animatedly,

A middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes with a majestic face parted the crowd and strode into Tongtian Pavilion.

His entire body had a powerful Aura, with the faint circulation of astral power. He was impressively a Mahayana Middle Stage expert.

"It's the head of the Long-Life Zhou Family, Zhou Jingheng!" Someone recognized his identity.

Zhou Jingheng walked into the hall and saw Lu Yuan sitting in the main seat leisurely sipping tea. He did not look down on him due to his youth; instead, he cupped his hands in greeting, his expression somewhat anxious.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu. I heard that heavenly secrets can be deduced here. Is it true?"

Lu Yuan put down his teacup and looked up. "One trial will tell if it's true or false. Fellow Daoist Zhou, what have you come to seek?"

Zhou Jingheng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "To be honest, my Zhou Family has a heavy treasure named the heavenly star disk."

This treasure can not only observe the stars in the sky but is also the medium for our clan's deductions and divinations.

Half a month ago, an Elder of our clan carried this treasure out, originally to channel astral power at a secret location. Who knew that an accident would occur during the process? Although the person returned, the heavy treasure was lost."

At this point, he sighed. "I went to Tianji Pavilion before and requested Heavenly Secret Master to deduce it. But after consuming his Lifespan to calculate, he said the heavenly secrets were blurred, obscured by some great Karma, and could not be predicted."

I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu... has a way?"

Even Heavenly Secret Master couldn't calculate it?

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart. If that old thing Heavenly Secret Master couldn't calculate it, he was either truly incapable or intentionally hiding it, plotting some conspiracy.

"System, query targeted intelligence," Lu Yuan muttered in his heart.

[Please set the direction for intelligence acquisition, Host.]

"Deduce the specific location of the Zhou Family's heavy treasure, the heavenly star disk."

[Targeted intelligence acquisition Rank set to: Blue.]

[Destiny Points required: 100 points.]

[Confirm?]

"Confirm."

[Blue Intelligence: The Zhou Family's heavenly star disk is currently located in a hidden void crack on the outskirts of the Nine Nether Demon Cave in the Central Region. This crack is obscured by a natural magnetic field, isolating it from Divine Sense probes.]

Moreover, in half a day, this treasure will be obtained by the Son of Destiny Li Chang born by chance, and he will use this treasure to further his path of divination.]

The moment he saw the intelligence, Lu Yuan's eyes flickered.

Li Changsheng?

After that boy was kicked out of Yaochi, he actually ran to the Nine Nether Demon Cave? And his luck is so good that he's about to pick up such a heavy treasure just after arriving?

As expected of a Son of Destiny, this luck is unparalleled.

However, since he had seen it, there was hope to intercept this Opportunity.

Lu Yuan withdrew his thoughts and looked at the expectant Zhou Jingheng. He didn't give the answer directly but said with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this divination... can be solved, but the price might not be small."

Zhou Jingheng was overjoyed to hear this. "Fellow Daoist Lu can really calculate it?! As long as the treasure can be found, Fellow Daoist Lu can ask for anything! My Zhou Family is willing to pay any price!"

Lu Yuan lightly tapped the table with his finger. "What I want isn't much. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhou has an Immortal Medicine in his possession? Or perhaps Immortal Gold? Even a seedling or a fragment will do."

The smile on Zhou Jingheng's face froze, and he smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Lu must be joking. Immortal Medicine and Immortal Gold are legendary divine objects. Even my Long-Life Zhou Family does not possess them."

Lu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, appearing somewhat disappointed.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingheng grew anxious, fearing Lu Yuan would change his mind.

He gritted his teeth, flipped his palm, and a fist-sized Source Stone wrapped in stone skin appeared in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I truly do not have Immortal Medicine."

But this piece of Divine Source was brought out from the depths of the Primal Ancient Mine by my clan's ancestor.

Although it hasn't been cut open, the Aura emanating from its interior is extremely extraordinary. Perhaps an Immortal Medicine seedling is sealed inside."

I wonder if this object... can serve as payment?"

Divine Source?

Lu Yuan's gaze fell on the Source Stone.

This thing was commonly known as a gambling stone.

It could contain an unparalleled divine object, a great ominous thing, or even just a mass of waste material.
