Diviners are indeed too rare, so rare that in his past ninety-nine lives, he had encountered fewer than a handful.
Although their diviner might not be particularly skilled, meeting them wouldn't hurt.
Perhaps if he asked them for a divination, there might be an unexpected turn of events?
"This..."
Upon hearing this, both of them hesitated.
"Is there something inconvenient about it?" Ye Fan asked politely.
"It's not exactly inconvenient..." Zhao Hao said with a strange expression, "Does Senior really want to meet him?"
"If it's convenient, please introduce me," Ye Fan nodded.
"Senior, please wait a moment."
Zhao Hao got up and left.
A few minutes later.
When he returned, Zhao Hao held a crystal bottle in his hand.
Zhao Hao placed the crystal bottle on the table and gestured, "Senior, he has arrived."
Ye Fan blinked in confusion.
The crystal bottle was empty, containing only half a tooth...
"This is your diviner...?"
"Mm..." Zhao Hao quickly replied, "After he divined Senior's whereabouts earlier, heavenly tribulations appeared without any warning."
"I don't know what happened that day, but a thousand tribulation lightning bolts descended in one go..."
"We searched for three days and three nights afterward and only found this half tooth..."
...
Ye Fan: ...
Although diviners usually die miserably and unsightly, isn't this one a bit too tragic...?
"My condolences..." Ye Fan said sympathetically, "Put it away..."
"It is indeed strange..." Zhao Hao put the crystal bottle into his ring, "When he divined before, it was only three tribulation lightning bolts at once. Last time, it was a full thousand, which was truly terrifying..."
Ye Fan once again expressed his sympathy for the diviner.
Who else could you divine for, but me...
Hmm...
Did he indirectly cause this diviner's death?
Bah!
It must be the damn system's doing, what does it have to do with me?!
That's right, it's exactly like that!
"That's roughly how things are..." Zhao Hao said nervously, "This is the reward for asking Senior to take action this time."
As Zhao Hao spoke, he took out a pile of items from his ring.
The pills were all at least seventh grade.
Ye Fan even saw two ninth-grade pills!
Due to the fragmentation of this continent's inheritance, ninth-grade pills were already equivalent to legendary existences!
It seemed that Zhao Hao and the others had really spared no expense this time!
A ninth-tier Human-grade top-quality weapon.
And a cultivation technique manual.
Being placed alongside these pills and weapons, this manual would definitely not be of low quality!
If these items were displayed to the public in Ge City, they would undoubtedly drive countless cultivators into a frenzy!
Ye Fan merely glanced at them casually, showing little interest.
Having tasted delicacies, he naturally had no interest in stale fish and rotten shrimp.
Anything he casually took out of his ring could easily surpass this entire collection.
Moreover, he only wanted to be a salted fish now, and these items were useless to him.
"This is our best collection over the years..." Seeing Ye Fan's demeanor, Zhao Hao's heart sank halfway, "Does Senior think..."
"How long until that mystic realm opens?" Ye Fan interrupted.
Ye Fan's question clearly indicated his agreement.
A flicker of excitement crossed Zhao Hao's face, "It's at the end of this month!"
"Alright, I'll come find you then."
"Thank you, Senior!"
"By the way, Senior," Bai Hua Xiu seemed to remember something and took out a jade pendant from her ring, "You were looking for this earlier, weren't you?"
Ye Fan took the jade pendant and glanced at it. It was indeed one of the three jade pendants belonging to his granddaughter.
"I found this in the Evil Flame Ruins earlier," Bai Hua Xiu explained, "You left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to return it to you. Later, due to some matters that delayed me, I could only return it to its rightful owner now."
"Yes, this is what I was looking for," Ye Fan nodded.
"By the way, Senior, we saw similar patterns and decorations to this jade pendant in that mystic realm earlier," Zhao Hao recalled with a frown, "Perhaps Senior can find new clues within it then."
"We'll see then," Ye Fan put away the jade pendant, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Zhao Hao and Bai Hua Xiu quickly offered some polite words and personally escorted Ye Fan out.
On the way down the mountain.
"By the way, Bai Hua Xiu," Ye Fan asked casually, "Didn't you say earlier that your master had died? Then you and this Sect Leader Zhao are...?"
"His master was once my most promising disciple," Zhao Hao sighed, a hint of sadness flashing across his face, "The one who caused his death was precisely the mysterious master of Ge City!"
Speaking of which, Zhao Hao clenched his fists fiercely!
"My condolences," Ye Fan said sympathetically.
After that, Ye Fan didn't ask anything else.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Ye Fan declined Zhao Hao's offer and left on the flying bed with the little demon girl and the others.
Only after Ye Fan and the others had completely disappeared did Zhao Hao and Bai Hua Xiu turn back the way they came.
"Grandmaster..." Bai Hua Xiu said worriedly, "Do you think this Ye Fan... will believe us?"
"Whether he believes us or not isn't important," Zhao Hao said with a chuckle, "He's just a sacrifice. Once we reach the place, he won't have a choice!"
"But..."
"It's evident that Ye Fan cares a great deal about that kind of jade pendant," Zhao Hao said slowly, "We're just catering to his preferences."
The two walked further and further away, their figures gradually disappearing into the mist.
On the other side.
This time, Ye Fan did not return to their previous small courtyard but stayed in a nearby town.
As for whether it was a waste to leave the previous small courtyard as it was...
After all, he was now so poor that he only had money left.
After tidying up the room, the little demon girl spoke.
"Ye Fan, I always feel like they didn't tell the truth... Why did you agree to them so easily?"
"They definitely didn't tell the truth," Ye Fan said leisurely, taking out a lounge chair and leaning back, "They are counting on the fact that I want the jade pendant. It's a blatant ploy."
"Then you still agreed?" the little demon girl asked suspiciously, picking up a nearby fruit and peeling it.
"I will definitely look for the jade pendant. This item is very important to me, so important that I will go even if there is danger."
Speaking of which, Ye Fan's expression suddenly became serious.
"As for the rest of you, don't follow me that day."
Knowing about Xia Wuhai and the black-robed figures of the enforcement team had already put pressure on the little demon girl.
This meant that the strength of the big boss in Ge City was definitely capable of threatening the little demon girl's life.
Humans are not grass and trees; how can they be unfeeling?
Having spent so much time with the little demon girl, Ye Fan did not want to watch her die.
As for Banana King and Shan Ji...
Although those two couldn't die, not being able to die didn't mean they were safe.
For example, being trapped and having materials continuously dug out of them...
This was even more miserable than dying.
"If you die," the little demon girl grabbed Ye Fan's hand, her expression firm, "Then what's the point of me living?"
"Big Brother!" the Banana-Gua combination said in unison, "We owe our current status to you, we will not retreat in the face of danger!"
What a touching scene!
Ye Fan just wanted to say.
I'm going to find death, and I meant I find you guys to be a nuisance...
Then the scene suddenly changed.
"Besides, with your perverted recovery cultivation technique, how could you die so easily?" the little demon girl said dismissively, "Don't worry, I will protect them."
"That's right, Big Brother!" the Banana-Gua combination echoed, "Big Sister is right, we will definitely stay far away if there's danger!"
Ye Fan: ...
I admit, I did feel a tiny bit moved just now.
Can I take back that tiny bit of emotion now?
What unreliable people I have around me...
