"Although it was very difficult, I was born at the right time, so I finally succeeded."
Ximu said this sentence in an understatement, but when it fell into the ears of Patriarch Wen and everyone in Paektu Mountain, they were pleasantly surprised.
If Sect Leader Xi's share is fulfilled, then their Ancestor Wen will be promoted to the realm of gods and humans in his lifetime, and the status of Mount Paektu will also rise.
The only thing that needs to be worried is whether the young new sect leader can be as proficient in deduction as his predecessors.
"So, the specific time." Patriarch Wen asked.
Simu smiled and said nothing, just stretched out his right hand to make a gesture.
"The number is five to five," he said, "I will know when the time comes."
"Is the number five to five?" Patriarch Wen fell into deep thought.
Bai Zhaoyuan had seen Ximu's abilities before and had some confidence in him. But his father, Bai Di, the current leader of Paektu Mountain, has many doubts.
He was very unhappy with this Xi Mu from the beginning. Previously, I thought he was an ordinary person, too young and too good-looking, and at first glance he didn't look like a person who cultivated and restrained himself.
When his identity was revealed later, Patriarch Yu deliberately indulged Tao Le and simply recognized him as the leader of the Tianyan Sect. This was quite unexpected.
But what dissatisfied him was that Patriarch Wen not only proposed that Tianyan Sect return to the inner seven sects, but also offered the sect's most important treasure, Bing Xin Nuan Jade, in exchange for three fortune-telling opportunities that he had no idea whether they were reliable or not.
The other party didn't do anything, just a few pinches with his fingers, and a mouth that could speak well, and he could exchange for such a precious treasure. This deal was really a good deal.
Of course, the result he calculated was indeed something that Patriarch Wen and everyone in the sect were happy to see, but so what?
How to judge whether this matter is true or false? As for the number of five or five, there is no way to say it.
Five years, ten years, fifteen years, fifty years? All can be relied on.
If they had waited many years later, they would have run away with a large sum of money.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Since we have three prediction opportunities, how about asking Sect Master Xi to do another prediction?"
Ximu nodded: "I don't know what Sect Leader Bai wants to calculate?"
"Many years ago, when I, Baekdu Mountain, established our clan here, we discovered a spiritual spring in the mountain, with a snow lotus growing in it."
"Sixty years ago, the snow lotus matured once and gave birth to many lotus seeds. At that time, we invited the other six sects to participate in the lotus tasting feast, and used the lotus seeds as rewards, and organized a competition among the talents of the seven sects. This was done by Patriarch Yu and Patriarch Wen Do you have any impressions?"
"Of course." The two nodded.
"However, after decades, the snow lotus flowers have bloomed several times, but no more lotus seeds have appeared. This is what I want to ask Sect Master Xi to test."
"How long will it take for this snow lotus to give birth to new children? How many new children will there be?"
When he said this, Patriarch Wen and Bai Zhaoyuan looked a little strange.
Because both of them knew very well that what Bai Di said was not entirely true.
The spiritual spring does exist, and the snow lotus does exist. They are all strictly protected in a secret room at the heart of the mountain, and even few people in our sect know their specific locations.
The real situation is that after many years of cultivation, the snow lotus is no longer a single plant, but there are three.
These three snowdrops have just passed their flowering stage and have already produced lotus seeds, which can be harvested and enjoyed only after they are mature.
Patriarch Wen thought for a moment and understood what Bai Di meant.
He wanted to use this matter to quickly test the abilities of the new leader of the Tianyan Sect.
Except for a few of their core characters, it is impossible for outsiders to know about Snow Lotus.
If someone Xi really figured it out, then it would just be a waste of one more calculation opportunity.
But if it is wrong, then Sect Master Xi will be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Patriarch Wen suddenly became satisfied with Bai Di.
As expected of the sect leader he chose, he always thinks carefully when doing things. Just now he was confused by the other party's identity, and he impulsively took out such a valuable treasure as Bing Xin Nuan Jade, but he didn't think to verify it.
If the opponent has not inherited the Tianyan ability from his ancestors at all, then if he goes up to the pole to offer treasures like this, won't he be ridiculed by other sects if it spreads?
While thinking about it, he nodded towards Bai Di to express his approval.
Over there, Xi Mu glanced at Bai Di lazily and asked casually: "Are you sure you want to ask about this?"
"Sure."
"Alas." Ximu sighed and said something irrelevant: "Actually, you still don't know me well enough."
Bai Di smiled secretly in his heart. He was almost certain that this smart man had guessed his intentions and did not dare to prevaricate as casually as before, so he began to talk to him in different ways.
In this case, of course he will accompany him to the end.
"Why did Sect Leader Xi say this?" he asked in confusion.
The expression on Xi Mu's face became indifferent, and he said softly: "One yin and one yang are the Tao. What follows is good, and what is achieved is nature."
"If you believe in me in everything, it will be fine, but if you don't believe in me, it will be fine."
"So what can I do? I've already accepted the reward, so Sect Leader Xi won't regret it, right?" Bai Di said without giving in.
"That's not true. It's just that this hexagram is wasted, and you only have one last chance to figure it out."
"After the three hexagrams, I will not take action for Baektu Mountain again. No matter how much hexagram gold is spent, it will be useless."
When Patriarch Wen heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and winked at Bai Di.
"How about we stop asking these questions and let's have some food and drink?"
Bai Di was extremely confident in his heart. He has read countless people and is used to seeing people like this.
Because he is afraid of being exposed, he deliberately exaggerates the consequences in order to make people retreat - this trick can deceive others, but not him.
The more this happened, the more he wanted to expose the person who dared to deceive him.
"Ancestor Wen, it's okay." Bai Di said: "Sect Master Xi, it's up to you to do whatever you want from now on, but for this hexagram, I sincerely ask you to help me figure it out."
"Okay then." Ximu stood up and gently threw the white jade fan in his hand into the air in front of everyone.
As soon as the fan left his hand, it immediately became as big as a tabletop, spinning rapidly in the air, even the setting sun was blocked.
The shiny white and smooth fan bones spread out during the rotation, first forming various mysterious patterns in the air, and then forming a neat circle.
In the circle, it no longer looked like the sky, but a holographic image appeared out of thin air.
Seeing this scene, Patriarch Yu gave up. Patriarch Wen, Bai Di and Bai Zhaoyuan all stood up with disbelief on their faces and looked up at the sky blankly, not knowing where they were.
This holographic picture showed exactly what the spiritual spring in their mountain looked like at the moment.
In the bean-colored spiritual spring, three lavender lotus pods stand proudly.
The lotus pods are filled with green lotus seeds.
"The lotus seeds have already grown and will mature in another fifteen days." Ximu's voice came at the right time. Although it was still light and cold, it seemed to directly shake everyone's heart:
"As for this quantity, please count it yourself. If you want to count something as trivial as this, wouldn't it be difficult for you, Sect Master Bai?"
