Chapter 561: Chapter 72: Borrow Another Two Hundred Years from the Whale! (8K)_2

Even Princess You Ruo couldn’t help but be attracted to him.

"Do you have some grudge against turtles?"

Princess You Ruo asked as she watched Zhao Xing swiftly pull out the turtle’s head.

"Pfft~" With a swift motion of his hand, the blade sliced, and the turtle’s head was severed in two.

"Were you bitten by a turtle when you were young?"

"No, Master Mother." Zhao Xing looked up, "I am practicing."

"Oh? Is it a Divination Method then?"

"Master Mother is as perceptive as ever."

Princess You Ruo was somewhat surprised, "Turtle shell divination is an ancient method from before the Yin dynasty, you know quite a lot."

"However, in our dynasty, those who aren’t Fate Officers find it difficult to achieve success, at most reaching an advanced level. You’re simply wasting your efforts."

"Master Mother, I am currently but a modest sixth-rank." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "If I can master an advanced spell, how could it be a waste of effort?"

"Doesn’t your teacher say anything about it?" Princess You Ruo asked. She knew that Liu Tianning had high demands for his disciples.

"Teacher has mentioned it." Zhao Xing nodded, "But as my Grassman Skill is progressing well, he no longer persuades me against it."

Princess You Ruo watched for a while longer, "If you only need the turtle shells, you can find me on Purple Cloud Island when you go to the East Sea in the future."

"I do have some collections."

"What collections do you have, Master Mother?" Zhao Xing’s eyes lit up.

"There should be quite a few of the level of the Ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Turtle." Princess You Ruo said lazily, "Those leaders of the Water Clan keep sending these useless trinkets year after year, utterly lacking in novelty."

Princess You Ruo, a direct descendant of Bixia Yuanjun and her mother the Sect Master of Bishui Sect, was also Emperor Jing’s beloved daughter.

Through this lineage, they possessed a strong ruling power over the Water Clan of the East Sea domains.

Therefore, on the Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship filled with Spiritual Beauties, Princess You Ruo didn’t glance at them even once. She had indeed seen too many treasures from the sea.

"Thank you very much, Master Mother." Zhao Xing beamed with joy.

"You’re busy; continue with your work." Princess You Ruo waved her hand, finding the scene uninteresting after watching for a while.

"Take care, Master Mother."

As he watched Princess You Ruo leave, Zhao Xing continued to slay turtles.

If Princess You Ruo was merely surprised,

the others were starting to feel a bit uneasy.

Liu Cheng’an, the son of Prince Xin, and another princely heir ’Wu Zhengting’ happened to pass by.

Upon witnessing the beheading of the turtles, they couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spine.

"Brother Wu, Brother Liu, good morning." Zhao Xing straightened his back, revealing a smile.

"Good morning." Liu Cheng’an and Wu Zhengting felt a tightness in their scalps.

Zhao Xing wielding the knife and grinning was just too damn frightening.

"The Ten Thousand Skill Palace of Liu Tianning has too many avatars; it’s creepy."

"How does his disciple also have such peculiar hobbies?" After they walked away, Liu Cheng’an transmitted his voice.

"That’s why they say like master, like disciple." Wu Zhengting remembered Zhao Xing’s smile, "Both the teacher and disciple are disconcerting."

But there were also those who liked to watch Zhao Xing kill turtles.

For example, Ji Zixuan.

Every day, she would set aside some time to accompany Zhao Xing, just quietly watching him slaughter turtles.

"Brother, are you tired? Do you need me to take over?" Ji Zixuan rolled up her sleeves. She seemed genuinely interested in the task itself, not just in pleasing Zhao Xing.

"Do you think I’m killing for fun?" Zhao Xing curled his lips.

"Brother, there must be a profound reason behind what you do," Ji Zixuan squatted down, "I just want to help you."

"You can’t help with this, and I can’t teach you the skill either."

If this world were to develop just as it had in his previous life, then Ji Zixuan, the Phantom Assassin, would stand on the opposite side of him.

Teach the Divination Method to Ji Zixuan?

What a joke!

An assassin who could foretell the future would be a nightmare even if she couldn’t kill, let alone being an actual threat.

"Oh, can’t I at least watch, brother?" Ji Zixuan had a spirit of perseverance.

"Suit yourself." Zhao Xing stretched out a hand and the turtle flesh quickly withered, the blood soaking into a pitch-black turtle shell.

Thanks to Zhao Xing’s turtle shell refinement spell, it had already absorbed the essence and blood of several thousand of its kind.

After multiple soakings, the turtle shell had turned a purplish-black, and its patterns emitted a faint ghostly luminescence.

The power of the Turtle Coin Divination Skill relied heavily on external objects.

Zhao Xing was currently refining the turtle shell as a practice. For long-term use, he would need the turtle shell of a ’Ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Turtle’ that Princess You Ruo mentioned.

"Turtle Divination Method is more tedious as it requires killing turtles for practice. The Money Divination Skill is much simpler, but it lacks divine relics from the Divine Court, like the Hongyun Coin and the Purple Gold Ancient Coin," he mused.

Such items were not for sale in the Military Realm; essentially, there was no sale of these items in Da Zhou Official.

To obtain them, one had to scour through ancient families with long lineages.

And it’s not enough if the lineage is too short.

"The best way is to try tomb raiding, open an ancient great tomb, and you might find quite a few ancient coins," he concluded.

The Hongyun Coin and the Purple Gold Ancient Coin were in themselves ’Fortune Coins’!

Unique as they were, containing fortune within them, they could not be absorbed.

However, possessing Hongyun Coins and Purple Gold Ancient Coins could temporarily enhance one’s fortune.

Such treasures were rarely sold by families.

After all, who would sell their own fortune?

Zhao Xing’s gaze inadvertently fell on Ji Zixuan, and an idea struck him, "Sister, have you ever heard of Hongyun Coins, or Purple Gold Ancient Coins?"

Seeing Zhao Xing ask, Ji Zixuan thought and said, "I’ve heard of them. Legend has it that in ancient Divine Court, all kinds of coins were cast using fortune. Using this method, instead of the National Fate baptism, they were bestowed upon officials to hold."

"So, in the Ancient Times, dismissing an official also meant confiscating their family wealth, because they had to reclaim the bestowed Hongyun Coins."

"The same goes for Magic Money," Ji Zixuan displayed her knowledge. "Magic Money is a collective term for spell-money, also known as Magic Tickets or Magic Coins; for instance, the Li Dynasty once issued Thunder Law Tickets."

"Officials just needed to carry them to cast thunder spells and achieve the corresponding spell realm."

"However, this practice was too outdated and could easily lead to grave corruption, and these corrupt officials often possessed formidable power and overwhelming fortune."
