The movement here quickly attracted Xiaoya and Lin Xue from a distance, and they all came to watch.

The little girl also emerged from her room and trotted over curiously to eat the melon.

At this time, Mu You touched the twelfth card and still maintained a 100% accuracy rate.

But Vivian stopped talking.

Mu You also forgot about other things and focused on sensing the tarot cards in front of him.

It wasn't until the thirteenth picture that he finally got confused for the first time.

The thirteenth card was supposed to be 'Justice', but he drew an ordinary secondary card.

"It's really wrong..."

Mu You sighed. He felt a little hesitant when he sensed this one, but he really picked it up by mistake.

Shaking his head, Mu You didn't care and continued sensing.

Next, cards 14 to 16, the Hanged Man, the Grim Reaper, and Temperance, are all correct.

However, on the seventeenth card, another mistake occurred, and this time he directly drew a main card from another sequence. In other words, this time he made two mistakes.

Xiaoya Linxue and others around them looked at Mu You quietly and said nothing to avoid disturbing him.

After a few minutes, all twenty-two cards were finally touched by Mu You.

Then he made another mistake on the twentieth card. In other words, he got four of the twenty-two main cards wrong, with an accuracy rate of over 80%.

"It's amazing, boss. You can draw so many cards with your eyes closed...Is this divination?"

Xiaoya exclaimed: "Then won't you be sure to win the Landlord game from now on?"

"No, this doesn't count..."

Mu You smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was just guessing cards just now. It was just a basic use of the mind's eye, and it was far from divination.

Real divination can sense much more things than this.

"How about Vivian, am I... qualified?"

Mu You looked at Vivian, a little worried.

He is still not sure what the criteria for this kind of test are. Wouldn't it be considered that he has divination talent only if he touches everything correctly?

"You... are qualified."

Vivian tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, but she was actually quite uneasy in her heart.

Her own talent in divination is considered to be quite good. The first time she took a similar test, she got 11 wrong cards, with only a 50% success rate. But even so, she had beaten 95% of the fortune tellers in the spiritual world. .

And even the most talented divination apprentice she had ever taught got as many as eight wrong cards in the first test.

However, right now, there are only four errors in one test, and Vivian has never seen anyone have such a high success rate.

She has been with Mu You for such a long time, and she knows very well that he has never been exposed to divination before. This is indeed the first time that he has opened his mind, and there is no possibility of cheating.

In other words, Mu You's talent in divination is far beyond ordinary people, and he is among the top in the entire star spirit world!

"Oh, all right."

Mu You still didn't know that Vivian was shocked by his talent and was still feeling lucky that he was qualified.

"Can we start learning formally next?" Mu You asked.

"let's start……"

Vivian said no more and nodded.

“Next, first increase the scope and depth of your mind’s eye.”

Mu You's current mental eye perspective can only see a small area in front of him, which is of course not enough for real divination. The fortune teller needs a huge amount of information to get the divination results. The more things he can see, the better the divination will be. The results can be more accurate.

This training requires opening the mind's eye for a long time and strengthening it little by little through exercise until it is enough for divination. It takes a long time, ranging from months to years.

Fortunately, for this kind of repetitive training, you can use a pocket watch and Fool's Space to take a shortcut.

After three months of repeated training in the Fool's Space, Mu You finally trained the scope of his mind's eye to a qualified level.

These three months were just a blink of an eye to the outside world. Xiaoya and the others didn't even know that Mu You had just gone through three months of training in place.

Mu You closed his eyes again, opened his mind's eye, and looked at the surrounding environment. At this time, the scope of his mind's eye had been increased to the point where it could encompass the surrounding space of a hundred meters in radius.

Mu You focused his perspective on the people around him. The creatures in his mind's vision did not exist in a physical form, but in the form of energy bodies. Only a human-like outline could be seen.

At the same time, a large number of colorful lines appeared on their bodies, including Muyou's own body. After these colorful lines, such as red, blue, yellow and green, emerged from the human body, some were connected to each other, and some were connected to each other. They are interlaced and knotted, merging in the air. Some extend to the ground and merge with the surrounding vegetation, while others extend to the outside world and disappear beyond the scope of the mind's eye...

"What are these lines?" Mu You asked.

"That's the law of cause and effect..." Vivian said.

"cause and effect……"

Mu You looked thoughtfully at the countless colorful lines around him. In just a few seconds, lines were appearing not only on people, but also on all the surrounding vegetation and even dead objects, criss-crossing each other. The connections formed an extremely complex network, which reminded Mu You of the first sentence in the book on divination: Everything is caused by cause and effect.

Mu You subconsciously wanted to carefully observe the connection between these lines, especially those of the humans.

As a result, Vivian seemed to have a premonition of what he wanted to do, and immediately stopped him: "Don't go into details!"

"Um?"

"The human spirit cannot bear this amount of information. Again, if you can completely grasp all the laws of cause and effect, then you are not a human, but an omniscient god."

Vivian sighed: "The so-called divination is actually just borrowing external objects to carefully peek at the tip of the iceberg from these causes and effects..."

"Besides, before you start divination, you should keep in mind the three rules of fortune telling."

"What is it?"

"First, the number of divination times per day is limited. Each divination will consume your mental power. The more difficult the divination, the more mental power will be consumed. The less mental power, the greater the deviation in your divination results. When the mental power is When your strength is insufficient, if you continue to forcefully open your mind's eyes, you will cause irreversible damage to yourself."

"Second, the closer the relationship between the thing you are predicting and yourself is, the easier it is for the divination results to be wrong and the greater the cost. Therefore, the best divination targets are strangers you have never met before."

"Third, and most importantly... never directly divine your own affairs. As for the consequences, you know the consequences." Vivian said.

Mu You looked stern. The fortune teller directly divined his own consequences. He had seen with his own eyes that in the black forest before, the female fortune teller divined a future in which she was bound to die just because she wanted to divine her own way of life. , this is the same as the consequences of losing control of black magic, it is a taboo that must not be touched.

"Of course, as long as these three principles are kept in mind, divination is still a very convenient thing in daily life."

Vivian changed her tone, shook her head and said, "There's not much else to say. The next thing you need to understand depends on your long-term actual divination."

In short, it is just a matter of continuous actual combat.

Mu You nodded, put away the tarot cards on the ground, and looked at the three people in front of him eagerly.

"You...do you want to tell anything?"

For the first time of divination in life, it is best to try it with the people around you.

"Boss, I want to give it a try!" Xiaoya blurted out.

"Oh? What do you want to divine?"

Mu You slowly shuffled the tarot cards and placed them on the ground.

"When I went out in the morning, I found that I lost my key. I clearly remembered that I put it in my bag last night, but I couldn't find it when I rummaged through the boxes this morning..."

Xiaoya looked at Muyou uncertainly: "Boss, can you use divination to help me find this?"

"Looking for something...of course."

Mu You nodded, searching for lost items, which is a very common and simple form of divination.

Mu You reached out and wiped away the pile of cards in front of him, indicating to Xiaoya to draw them.

“Picture in your mind what your key looks like, then draw three cards from it and lay them down any way you like.”

"oh……"

Xiaoya reached out and touched the card array. After hesitating on the row of cards for a few seconds, Xiaoya took out three cards and placed them in a "C" shape in front of her.

At this time, Mu You was already watching her every move carefully. After putting down all three cards, he reached out and turned over the cards one by one.

"Stable positioning, two positives and one negative... Stars, Judgment, Temperance, all are Major Arcana cards. Cause and effect are connected with yourself, and there is no tendency to overflow..." Mu You interpreted it according to the method in the book Information seen by the mind’s eye.

"..." Xiaoya scratched her head in confusion, listening to what was written in heaven.

"To put it simply...the key is with you." Mu You finally looked at Xiaoya and directly told her the conclusion.

"ah?"

Xiaoya was stunned.

"No way?"

She subconsciously groped around her body, but after a while, her movements stagnated, and she took out a bunch of keys from her jacket pocket with some embarrassment.

"I really forgot when I put it in my clothes..." Xiaoya stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed. She finally made a divination, but the result was still a mistake.

However, this can be considered as indirect confirmation of the accuracy of Mu You's divination results.

"It's my turn, it's my turn!"

Seeing that Xiaoya's divination was over, Ye Rumeng beside her couldn't wait to raise her little hand high.

"What do you want to divine?" Mu You didn't refuse. He put away the tarot cards and looked at the little girl.

"I want to divine my sister's affairs to see if she... is still alive..." Ye Rumeng said with some worry.

"Also..."

Mu You glanced at her and predicted the life and death of relatives and friends, which was also a common divination content. Her sister was imprisoned in the Cook Islands, in the hands of the madmen from the Order of the Dead. Anything could happen, so it would be better to do some divination in advance.

"But I'll use other divination this time..."

Mu You did not continue to use tarot cards, but walked out of the space and went to find a mirror in the room.

There are many media for divination. As a fortune teller, you must be comfortable in the application of various media.

Returning to the space, Mu You placed the mirror on the grass in front of the little girl.

"Look at the mirror, and then imagine your sister's appearance in your mind, the more detailed the better!" Mu You said to Ye Rumeng.

"oh……"

The little girl hurriedly followed the instructions, put her hands on the ground, stared at the mirror, and began to recall her sister's figure in her mind.

Mu You, on his side, was also looking at the mirror with his heart.

At this time, in the mind's eye, the outline of a figure gradually appeared on the mirror, which represented the little girl's sister.

However, after watching it for dozens of seconds, Mu You suddenly frowned and let out a sigh.

"What's wrong?" The little girl looked at him hurriedly and asked nervously.

As soon as she moved, the figure on the mirror disappeared instantly.

"Don't worry, your sister is still alive...and very healthy." Mu You first told the little girl the news to reassure her.

"Oh, that's good!" The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Mu You's weird expression just now, she thought her sister was gone.

Little did he know that Mu You was also feeling strange at this time. According to the divination just now, the little girl's sister was indeed still alive. However, she was more than just alive. Judging from the divination results, her sister seemed to be living a comfortable and free life. There was no trace of anything at all. The feeling of being imprisoned and threatened.

This result surprised him a little, but he couldn't predict anything more at the moment.

Mu You shook his head and looked at Lin Xue again.

"Where's Xiaoxue, is there anything you want to fortune tell?"

"I?"

Lin Xue pointed at herself. She really didn't have anything in particular that she wanted to know.

However, she also knew that Mu You was practicing divination. After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Xue said, "Then... help me divine whether my inheritance mission will go well..."

Her inheritance mission is a mission inherited from the Death Scythe. She goes to the Undercity to find the inheritance of the Death Apostle. More than half of it has been completed so far, and it will reach the final stage in a few days.

"Wait a minute, let's try using a crystal ball this time..."

Mu You went back to the room to find a crystal ball toy and brought it back to the space.

After spreading a black cloth on the ground, place the crystal ball on the cloth.

"Next, just imagine your inheritance mission..." Mu You said to Lin Xue, and then observed the changes in the crystal ball with his inner eye.

Lin Xue also nodded and followed suit.

In the mind's eye vision, surging mist immediately began to appear in the crystal ball, sometimes condensing, sometimes drifting and reorganizing, and finally gradually condensed into humanoid shapes.

Mu You frowned a little, because unlike the previous two times, the results of this divination were extremely unclear.

He tried hard to peer into the changes in the crystal ball with his inner eye, trying to get some information from it.

However, before he could pry out anything, the crystal ball suddenly clicked and cracked in half.

Mu You was stunned, quickly closed his eyes, and opened his eyes to look.

Sure enough, the crystal ball not only cracked in the mind's eye perspective, but also cracked in reality, split in two from the middle, revealing the irregular section below.

"ah……"

Lin Xue, Xiaoya and the other three were stunned when they looked at the broken crystal ball.

Just now, the two of them were just looking at the crystal ball, and no one moved it. As a result, the crystal ball actually cracked on its own. Even people who didn't know how to do divination could clearly see this phenomenon.

"What does this mean?" Lin Xue looked at Mu You blankly and asked.

However, Mu You was also confused at this time. This kind of result was never mentioned in the book...

Mu You could only look at Vivian for advice.

"Did this fail? Or..."

"It's not a failure..."

Vivian looked at the crystal ball and shook her head solemnly.

"If the props are damaged during divination, it is a bad omen..."

"It means... Xiaoxue's mission will be in danger?" Mu You frowned.

"Yes, and it is fatally dangerous!" Vivian said.

"ah?"

Xiaoya and Ye Rumeng both exclaimed and looked at Lin Xue worriedly.

Mu You also looked at Lin Xue at this time: "Can you give up on this mission?"

Lin Xue shook her head silently: "If you give up, it will be equivalent to giving up the blood of the Death God clan. The sickle and robe will be taken back..."

If they were just external possessions, no matter how precious they were, she could give them up, but these two things were special relics left to her by her grandma, and she couldn't part with them.

"In that case, let's divine your mortality rate for this mission again!" Mu You looked at Lin Xue, took out the tarot cards again, shuffled them and spread them out in front of him.

Faced with this kind of dilemma, it is better to use the mortality rate as a reference to decide whether to participate. If the mortality rate is really too high, she cannot be allowed to go even if she gives up those two props.
