Chapter 359: Chapter 355: Numbness? Damn it!_1

"But as far as I know," the "Dice Grid" is just a legend, and no one in this world has ever seen it. You say you’ve seen it, could you share a thing or two about it? Otherwise, just with the Taoist’s words, it’s really hard to convince the public. This is Lingling Ancient City, the home of Ye Ancestor, if you speak nonsense here, I fear you won’t be able to leave Lingling Ancient City!"

The words were forceful and resounding, each syllable imbued with an air of integrity!

The onlookers, who were already suspicious of the old scammer, cheered in agreement, their eyes widened in anticipation, as if to say, if you can’t spell it out, we’ll take you down!

At the same time, it seemed that everyone had already taken the Bibo Daoist as their leader...

Qin Shou stood under the table, lifting the cloth on both sides. His angle of view was different from everyone else’s, allowing him to see the faces of the old scammer and the Bibo Daoist from below, as they exchanged glances and signals...

Qin Shou cursed in his heart, "Damn! These are plants!"

Then he heard the old scammer laugh softly and say aloud, "The dice dictate the seasons, the points transform to red amidst the four directions..."

At first, Qin Shou was baffled by what he heard, but the more he listened, the more familiar it all sounded.

After the old scammer had spoken a bit, he didn’t continue but chuckled and said, "This ’Dice Grid’ is secret knowledge. I was fortunate enough to have seen it, but without the verbal permission of Ye Ancestor, it cannot be shared. Just a snippet, to prove my identity... But actually, there’s no need for all this. Can’t we just calculate and see if it’s true?"

Upon hearing this, the Bibo Daoist nodded in agreement and said, "There is some sense in that. What you’ve just said, we really can’t verify its accuracy. How would you calculate it?"

The old scammer stroked his beard and said, "A hundred thousand Red Spirit Crystals for one divination!"

"What?!" The audience was genuinely startled by that number!

Even Qin Shou almost jumped out from under the table! It wasn’t that he found it too expensive, but that he felt he had asked for too little and wanted to raise the price!

The old scammer smiled calmly and explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, this method is not the same as ordinary divination. The common methods include finger-counting, coin divining, and turtle shell prognostication among others, but without exception, just a few items are needed, and they are all derived from the later-stage Bagua.

However, the method is different, establishing its own lineage with a full 144 cards. Divining with so many cards involves a vast number of forces from the Heavenly Dao!

This is why it’s heralded as the first divination method after the innate. What the later-stage Bagua cannot divine, the method can; and what this cannot divine can only be sought in the innate Bagua, the manifestation of Fuxi.

Alas, the manifestation of Fuxi is known only to Fuxi himself; even Wen King could only utilize the later-stage Bagua and not the innate version of Fuxi’s manifestation.

Therefore, the innate Bagua belongs to Fuxi alone, while the divination method reigns supreme among mortals!"

The old scammer appeared to be speaking logically, but in reality, he was just flattering and swindling... Others might not notice, but Qin Shou heard everything crystal clear! There was no helping it because Li He was a figure who had emerged from Lingling Ancient City. His achievements were the pride of the people of Lingling Ancient City. Praising Li He was equivalent to flattering everyone present! Regardless of whether the flattery was true or not, people loved to hear it!

As the saying goes, a thousand mistakes can be forgiven, but flattery never fails; the old scammer was exploiting exactly this point. With a vigorous puffing up, he wowed the crowd enough to win them over.

Finally, the old scammer concluded, "The divination method is complex. I am not particularly proficient, so each session drains a significant amount of my stamina and vitality. Therefore, I only perform ten divinations a day and only the difficult ones; the easy ones, I do not bother with!"

This statement initially surprised everyone, as it seemed odd to them that the Taoist would pass up the chance to make money. Why not just tire yourself out...

But after processing his words, people felt a touch of pity that such a powerful method could only be used ten times a day.

At the same time, everyone felt that such a formidable technique passed down by their old ancestor should indeed be reserved for the challenging divinations, not the simple ones!

If it’s challenging, then charging a bit more money is acceptable...

So, the audience somewhat confusingly accepted the old scammer’s steep price.

"I’ll go first for a divination! A hundred thousand Red Spirit Crystals, right? Here you are, check the amount!" Indeed, the Bibo Daoist was the first to step forward, tossing a Xumi Bag.

The old scammer glanced casually and said, "No need to count, I can tell at a glance. If I can be conned, I might as well close this stand."

Many in the audience chuckled at that remark...

The old scammer sat upright and asked, "What would you like to divine?"

The Bibo Daoist thought about it and said, "Hmm, there’s a legend that Emperor Shun left behind the ’Chonghua Sutra.’ I wonder where it might be found. Could you possibly divine its whereabouts?"

As soon as these words came out, all the people in attendance pricked up their ears and held their breath!

This was Lingling Ancient City, where the majority of residents had some connection, however distant or close, with Emperor Shun of the Yu Family. Ye Ancestor’s ’Chonghua Sutra’—who could be indifferent to that?

Upon hearing this, the old scammer pondered for a moment and said, "This involves an ancient Overlord, and indeed it is a bit tricky... I can’t guarantee success, but I’ll give it a try. If it turns out successful, all the better. If not, I’ll refund your money and save my reputation from damage."

At these words, the crowd nodded with approval, many secretly giving a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "What a good character!"
