In the initial phase of the land cultivation war, the logistics personnel found the process relatively easy, but in the subsequent cultivation phase, there were quite a few tasks.
Lu Changsheng soon arrived at the cave mansion ’Heart of Heaven Abode’ of the diviner Du.
Outside the cave mansion was an old servant at the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s visit, he imdiately invited him in.
This cave mansion was similar in size to Lu Changsheng’s, featuring a three-courtyard layout, pavilions, and towers, with gardens full of beauty, and the air filled with Spiritual Energy.
After a mont’s wait in the reception hall, Lu Changsheng t the host, ’Du Mao’.
This diviner Du was white-haired, withered in appearance, thin, and slightly hunched.
"So it is Changsheng True Master, I have heard so much about you."
Du Mao smiled, face full of wrinkles, upon seeing Lu Changsheng.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator and a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master, and being Dao Companions with Xiao Xiyue, even he would not dare to neglect him.
"Daoist Du, I apologize for the abrupt visit today, I hope for your forgiveness."
Though Du Mao before him was only a False Core Cultivator, Lu Changsheng remained very courteous, handing over a gift box of talismans.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Changsheng went straight to the point, cupping his hands and saying, "I have co this ti because my young son once accidentally obtained an inheritance of divination, barely managing to start learning it."
"But this is a path I do not understand, so I wish to ask you, friend, for your guidance on his talent in this area."
While speaking, Lu Changsheng handed over three Third Rank Talismans.
The previous gift box was a eting gift.
Now it was clear that he was asking for help without asking for favors in return.
"Indeed, the tiger father begets no dog son. Your son, since he could self-learn and enter the path, must have extraordinary talent in this regard. Is your son here?"
Du Mao saw the three Third Rank Middle Grade Talismans in his hand, and a gleam of joy appeared in his murky eyes.
He liked dealing with such generous people.
Besides, with not much life left, he didn’t mind taking a disciple before passing, forming a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.
After all, the other was only a hundred or so years old, was a Third Rank Talisman Master, with a Dao Companion like Xiao Xiyue;
forming a goodwill would bless future generations.
"My son hasn’t co over. If it’s convenient for you, I will bring him over,"
Lu Changsheng said, cupping his fists.
"I have nothing else to do. I’ve always wanted to visit the renowned Bi Lake Mountain, so I’ll go with you, Changsheng True Master."
Du Mao was very enthusiastic.
Mainly because Changsheng True Master was generous, and Bi Lake Mountain wasn’t far from the Qingyun Sect.
"In that case, I will trouble you, Daoist Du."
Lu Changsheng had been wondering if such an old diviner would have a strange, difficult personality to deal with, but unexpectedly, he was easy to talk to and imdiately accompanied him back to Bi Lake Mountain.
...
Lu Changsheng piloted a Third Rank Spirit Boat with Du Mao to the outskirts of Bi Lake Mountain.
"Hmm!?"
Seeing Bi Lake Mountain, Du Mao was slightly surprised, unable to resist taking a few more glances.
As a diviner, he knew a bit of the Qi Observation Technique.
But the luck of Bi Lake Mountain was like a fog, hard to discern the ups and downs.
If Bi Lake Mountain were a Third-tier Spiritual Land, he couldn’t see through it, that would be normal;
however, as a Second Rank Spiritual Land, he should be able to discern so aspects.
"This Bi Lake Mountain truly is a fengshui treasure land."
He didn’t look further, giving a complint.
Soon they entered Bi Lake Mountain, and Lu Changsheng gave a simple reception, calling for his son Lu Qingxuan.
"Greetings to Elder Du."
Lu Qingxuan, seeing Du Mao in front of him, recognized him and was sowhat surprised.
Twenty-two years ago, when his father Lu Changsheng disappeared in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, Aunt Xiao Xiyue took him to the Qingyun Sect.
At that ti, Caiyun True Immortal brought him to this Elder Du for divining and calculating.
But twenty-two years ago, the other, although old, was spirited and had a bit of an immortal deanor.
Now, however, though, he appeared withered, filled with a sense of decline, likely having at most ten years of life left.
He knew this was due to the burdens of divination.
The path of divination, while allowing the probing of Heavenly Secrets, evading calamities, and calculating fortune and misfortune in the unseen, took its toll in life span and fortune as the cost.
Too much prying into Heavenly Secrets often resulted in none living long and enjoying a peaceful old age.
"Oh, young friend recognizes ."
Du Mao did not rember Lu Qingxuan.
"Twenty-two years ago, I followed Caiyun True Immortal and t Elder Du once."
Lu Qingxuan said, cupping his fists.
"So you were that boy, indeed, fate had us et."
With Lu Qingxuan’s ntion, Du Mao instantly recalled, thinking that Changsheng True Master had quite an unusual connection with Caiyun True Immortal.
If not for Lu Qingxuan bringing it up, he wouldn’t have rembered it well, and then he tested Lu Qingxuan’s knowledge in the Way of Divination.
...
"Your son has extraordinary talent in the path of divination, truly possessing the qualities of a Venerable!"
Seven days later, with a face full of emotion, Du Mao said to Lu Changsheng.
His initial intent was simply to earn so extra inco and establish a good relationship with Lu Changsheng.
However, after ntoring Lu Qingxuan over those days, he couldn’t help but marvel at the boy’s talent, moved to take him as a disciple.
Unfortunately, neither Lu Changsheng nor Lu Qingxuan showed much interest in this, so he was reluctant to propose it directly.
"Daoist Du, you flatter us, thanks to your guidance these days."
Lu Changsheng was sowhat surprised in his heart. .
If his son was truly talented in divination, with the qualities of a Venerable, by logic, the system’s talent category should be ’divination’.
Yet his son’s talent category remained as ’managent’.
He was puzzled, feeling that the other party did not seem to be rely flattering.
"Could it be that his skills in divination are too shallow?"
Lu Changsheng felt a bit inexplicably suspicious yet still very courteously gifted another three talismans as tuition fee.
After all, they would continue to interact in the future.
Besides, those seven days of teaching, the other really expended quite a bit of energy.
During the training explanation, relevant techniques needed to be used, which was quite taxing on Du Mao in his current state.
