Chapter 673: Chapter 7 Miss Shi, Gaining Some Fame Chapter 673: Chapter 7 Miss Shi, Gaining Some Fame Qiu Changtian stepped off the treasure ship and felt his spirit refreshed and clear-headed.
The spiritual energy of this Xihua Mountain was so abundant, it was quite strange.
One must know that the dragon veins of the entire Divine Land basically originated from the Kunlun Mountain Range, flowing from west to east, whether it be the Orthodox Sect’s Shushan and Penglai or the Demon Cult’s Iron City Mountain, Mount Beimang, Yu Long Mountain, Mount Wutai, and so on, all the Spirit Mountains were essentially distributed on the dragon veins that spread throughout the Divine Land.
Therefore, they possessed an endless supply of spiritual energy, becoming what the Daoists referred to as a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
Conversely, any mountains in the Divine Land not situated on a dragon vein had sparse and poor spiritual energy; thus, no Cultivation Sect would settle there, leading to their ultimate obscurity.
However, Xihua Mountain was clearly far from the Divine Land’s dragon veins, so how could it be so rich in spiritual energy?
Moreover, this spiritual energy seemed somewhat dissimilar to that from Kunlun…
“Has Changgeng True Person noticed?” Shi Liuli came over with a smile, “The source of the spiritual energy here is not from the dragon veins, but rather from somewhere else.”
“What does Dong You True Person imply?” Qiu Changtian immediately guessed something but feigned ignorance on the surface.
“It probably has something to do with the Golden Que Secret Realm,” Shi Liuli said leisurely, “Also, I casually did a divination just now.”
“What were the results of the hexagram?” Xu Yinglian asked by his side.
“Not auspicious,” Shi Liuli shook her head.
Not auspicious?
Both Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were somewhat puzzled.

Although the two did not understand the Art of Calculation, they also knew that vague divinations usually had six possible outcomes: Upper Auspicious (Great Auspicious), Middle Auspicious (Auspicious), Lower Auspicious (Minor Auspicious), Great Inauspicious, Middle Inauspicious (Inauspicious), and Minor Inauspicious.
What did this “not auspicious” mean?
Was it an inauspicious result, but she couldn’t tell us whether it was Greater Inauspicious or Minor Inauspicious?
???G?.??
However, Shi Liuli did not answer and took her leave instead, because Tian Lan True Person from Penglai was calling her over.
“Playing mysterious,” Xu Yinglian frowned and said.
She was somewhat displeased with Shi Liuli’s behavior of speaking in half-truths, but Qiu Changtian felt a bit of unease, as he knew how formidable Shi Liuli’s divination abilities were.
Junior Sister Xu had indeed seen her calculate the whereabouts of the Donghua Sect’s ruins last time, but she had not developed a deep impression from many years of close observation like Luo Yan had-what exactly could this inauspiciousness point to?
The top of Xihua Mountain was covered in dazzling snow, and looking around, there was ice everywhere, nowhere to set foot.
There was also the snowstorm in the sky, bitterly cold and sharp, feeling like a knife cutting against one’s face when it hit.
But those present were seasoned cultivators who were not afraid of such natural power.
They saw Shi Liuli being called over to the side of the Jade Capital Sect Leader of Shushan by Tian Lan True Person.
Beside the Sect Leader was another person, Jian Buyan from Qingzhou’s Jian Family.
He had visited Shushan once before to help the Guan Family’s elder calculate the whereabouts of the Tai Yin Suming Sword and was probably invited over again this time.
“Dong You youngster’s skill in divination is truly exquisite,” Jian Buyan praised, “With your copper coin divination to assist, this trip is likely to go much smoother.”
“I am still a novice with much to learn, and these minor skills are insignificant, not worthy of senior’s lavish praise,” Shi Liuli replied modestly.
Although she was incredibly humble, receiving such compliments from the head of Qingzhou’s Jian Family still made the surrounding cultivators look at her with surprise.
Jian Buyan began to make hand gestures while Shi Liuli tossed the copper coin, both starting their respective divination.
The other cultivators stood in place, silently amidst the snow, calmly watching them perform the divination.
Qiu Changtian looked up at the sky, thinking that amidst this sweeping wind and snow, where could there be any trace of the Golden Que Secret Realm?
However, if it were so easy to find, it wouldn’t have remained undiscovered for so many years, just like the White Jade Capital Secret Realm, hidden beneath a rock on Mount Tianmu, nearly indistinguishable from the ordinary environment if not for being struck by Thunder Method.
He pondered silently, and suddenly heard Jian Buyyan laugh, saying,
“It should be in the southwest direction.”
Shi Liuli nodded and said,
“Six to seven zhang, dig.”
Jian Buyan was slightly startled and immediately expressed his admiration,
“I had not calculated it this precisely… Indeed, in the way of Art Calculation, there are always people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.
Jian here is inferior.”
As he said this, he respectfully bowed to Shi Liuli.
Shi Liuli hurriedly dodged, not daring to accept the courtesy, only to see that the gazes of the cultivators around her turned strange.
One must know that the Jian Family from Qingzhou is a family recognized throughout the Divine Land for their prowess in Art Calculation.
As the head of the Jian Family, Jian Buyan actually admitted that he was inferior to a junior…
If one were to rule out the possibility that it was a deliberate display, it would mean that this person’s way of Art Calculation is indeed extraordinary, enough to astonish Jian Buyan.
Thus, even someone as venerable as the Jade Capital Sect Leader couldn’t help but take note of the title ‘Dong You’ and thought to himself that the title was indeed well-chosen.
The crowd then walked towards the southwest, and at a point about six to seven zhang from where Shi Liuli originally stood, they each deployed their Daoist Magic and Divine Skills to rapidly dig three chi into the ground.
Before long, they unearthed a dusty object.
“What is this?” Everyone crowded around to see, “A porcelain doll?”
“No, it’s made of jade,” said Xu Yinglian indifferently.
“Its sound when tapped makes it clear.”
Jinghua of Shushan took the doll, used Water System Techniques to swiftly wash away the dust and frost on it, and then gently tapped it a few times.
“Indeed, it is a jade figurine.” He showed the object to everyone.
The figurine had long eyebrows and fine eyes, a small nose and no mouth, and its expression looked peaceful as if it were asleep with its eyes closed.
The Jade Capital Sect Leader scanned the figurine meticulously with his Divine Sense, then turned to ask Jian Buyan and Shi Liuli,
“What mystery lies within this?”
“I could only calculate that the variable is here,” said Jian Buyan with a smile.
“How about you, Junior Dong You?”
“The same as the senior,” Shi Liuli replied.
“This object…
must be related to the Golden Que Secret Realm, but as to the specifics of that relation, I am not sure.”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators began scrutinizing the jade figurine, discussing it animatedly.
“Junior Sister, what do you think?” Qiu Changtian asked Xu Yinglian.
“If we say the jade figurine is a key,” pondered Xu Yinglian, “then the prerequisite for using the key to unlock a door is to insert it into the lock.”
“But where is this lock?”
“Hmm.” Qiu Changtian thought to himself that if she was asking him, how would he know?
However, one with an invincible character setting cannot say “I can’t do it,” so he too had to begin pondering,
“Junior Sister, why do you think the jade figurine was buried underground?”
“It cannot really be considered underground,” Xu Yinglian mused thoughtfully.
“Brother, for mountains like these, although the peaks are covered with snow all year round, the thickness varies with the seasons.”
“If an object falls on the ground, with the melting of the ice layer in summer, the object will sink further; and in winter, layer upon layer of snow covers it, and the object will naturally be buried by the snow…
But strictly speaking, it is all within the ice layer and has never entered the soil.”
“I see,” remarked the Jade Capital Sect Leader from a distance, who, upon hearing her explanation, immediately had an idea, “Since this object can fall within the ice layer, who knows if there might be more clues under our feet?”
“Let us dig up all these layers of ice and search within.”
