Lady Hong Guan stretched her hand forward, while the Turtle Spirit opened its four legs, preparing to fight like a trapped beast.
As tensions mounted between the two, suddenly, a burst of cheerful laughter echoed from the sky.
"Lady Hong Guan, I was looking for you all morning. Where did you disappear to? Turns out you ran off here."
A divine form appeared, Zhou Xuan, in the guise of a giant, standing on the surface of the water.
"Great Master, I and the Peach Blossom Ancestor Tree have co here to find you a handy Magic Artifact."
Lady Hong Guan pointed at the Turtle Spirit’s shell and said, "Its turtle shell is the most spiritual in this world. If you acquire it, your future Dun Jia Predictions and formations will be extrely effective."
"Oh, so you’re here to remove its shell."
To find Lady Hong Guan, Zhou Xuan contacted the ’Bitter Ghost’ to rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture and asked Witch Shang Wenjun about her whereabouts. They only said that Lady Hong Guan went overnight to the Turtle God Water Village, but did not know her purpose.
"Yes, to remove the shell," said Lady Hong Guan.
"Then we must be gentle. Snatching is not our style."
Zhou Xuan emphasized a courteous approach first and then force, and asked the Turtle Spirit, "Immortal of the Turtle Clan, I need your turtle shell. Tell what you want. If I find the price fair and can achieve it, I’ll send it to you. No one takes advantage of another."
"I want your life..."
The Turtle Spirit whispered.
Given his grudge with the Tattoo Master, wanting the opponent’s successor’s life was indeed a strong desire he had.
But it’s strange,
since eting Zhou Xuan, he always felt suppressed and dared not speak any insane or reckless words. He could only honestly say, "I seek nothing. Living nearly a thousand years, what more can I desire?"
"If you seek nothing, you wouldn’t have lived a thousand years," Zhou Xuan replied.
"..." Turtle Spirit.
"Living over a thousand years underwater, frankly speaking, without so goals, you would have died of boredom long ago. Speak up if you want anything, be straightforward."
Zhou Xuan’s unconventional approach left the Turtle Spirit stunned.
Lady Hong Guan saw the bewildered look of the big turtle and laughed aloud, giving Zhou Xuan a thumbs-up, saying, "Only the Great Master gets right to the point. Without ambitions, who can live a thousand years?"
"I desire to enter the Immortal Class, is it possible?"
"Why not."
Zhou Xuan said, "Dun Jia Hall originally has its own Heavenly Do God-level, what’s it called... Oh yes, ’Nine Palaces.’ If you cultivate incense offerings and cut down the Old Gods, won’t you enter the Immortal Class?"
"I’m a turtle, even if incense offerings are cultivated, I’m not qualified for the Immortal Class! Zhou Xuan... Do you know why I’m a turtle?"
It’s all thanks to your Peng Town Tattoo Master who bestowed upon a Divine Forbidden Map, turning , a forr promising Tunnel Armor Grandmaster, into a turtle that can only wallow at the bottom of the water, eating water plants..."
"Still want my turtle shell... you’re dreaming."
Turtle Spirit finally erupted, yelling nonstop at Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan also recalled that Yun Ziliang had ntioned before, the Forbidden Land Tattoo indeed had so extrely bizarre effects, even once caused a great Dun Jia family in the Capital City to end after five generations, giving birth to daughters and sons naturally bearing turtle shells on their backs with short limbs.
So, for a long ti, these two halls, the Tattoo and the Dun Jia, have not gotten along well.
He imdiately laughed and said, "Immortal of the Turtle Clan, don’t be so restless. Why is a turtle body not good? Wasn’t your Dun Jia ancestor a Xuan Turtle?"
"Nonsense... Dun Jia Taoists, each are exceptional, what Xuan Turtle are you talking about?"
"You don’t know?" Zhou Xuan was a bit surprised.
"Know what?" Turtle Spirit asked.
Zhou Xuan crossed his arms, feeling a bit proud, "Look at this, I, who have lit the Dun Jia incense, wanted to learn a few moves from you. Now I feel like I can teach you sothing."
He continued, "I lit the Dun Jia incense, do you know how I did it?"
"Naturally the ’Nine Palaces’ God entered your Secret Realm and gifted you a piece of turtle shell."
"Wrong."
Zhou Xuan waved his hand, saying, "It was a Xuan Turtle that entered my Secret Realm, predicted my future, acknowledged my prospects, and then Xuan Turtle transford into incense, becoming my incense offering. It was then that I learned that the Ancestor of Escaping Armor was indeed a Xuan Turtle.
You were human, corrupted into a turtle body by the Tattoo Forbidden Land, for this matter, I sincerely apologize. But... I believe everything has two sides, you could consider it as returning to your roots."
"Maybe only you, this little Xuan Turtle, can cultivate the Dun Jia incense to the highest level."
Zhou Xuan started his eloquent persuasion.
The Turtle Spirit was imdiately moved, asking, "Is this true?"
"How can it be false."
Zhou Xuan said, "It’s just that I can’t let you see inside my Secret Realm, otherwise you’d see my Xuan Turtle incense and imdiately bow down, crying in mourning, worshiping ancestors."
"Is it really a turtle body?"
Turtle Spirit imdiately said, "Zhou Xuan... Mr. Zhou, can you let make a prediction for you?"
"Sure."
Zhou Xuan imdiately agreed, but still had so doubts, "That’s odd, old turtle, you make feel strange. As I know, the three Taoist gates, Dragon Seeking Hall borrows mountain and river montum, Heavenly Eye Temple can predict the unseen future, Dun Jia Mages are skilled in powerful formations.
You should be skilled in formation, why ntion predictions and divinations, is that your hall’s specialty?"
"I don’t know why, after becoming a turtle, my fortune-telling skill surpassed my formation abilities, maybe... maybe..."
