The original repairer

Chapter 226 I’m here

A quarter of an hour later, Suan Fang put away the divination plate, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned to Shi Chen and said solemnly, "Senior Shi, I'm afraid I can't enter this market with you. I also advise you not to go in if there is no other way."

From the moment Suan Fang stood still and concentrated on his calculations, Shi Chen knew that there must be something fishy about the sudden incident. Seeing him so cautious, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"The fortune teller must have figured something out. Even someone at the level of a Divine Transformation would have to retreat. This place must be extremely dangerous. Should I still go in and ask for a fortune telling? I've been searching for nearly a year, but haven't found any clues about them. This is the most likely place to find out what's going on. I can't give up and retreat just because I think it's dangerous, and I don't have any intuition that my life is in danger."

He had made up his mind and said to the fortune teller, "I must go in and do a fortune telling to find some clues about them."

Suan Fang sighed softly upon hearing this. "Since you've made your decision, Senior, then be extra careful. I'll wait for you at the market on the previous island for ten days. If you don't come by then, I'll leave."

Shi Chen clasped his fists and bowed, saying no more, then turned and strode towards the market town.

"This dish is called Crystal Mushroom and Purple Ganoderma Soup. It uses the third-level spiritual medicines, Crystal Mushroom, Purple Blood Ganoderma, and six low-level spiritual medicines to cook the soup. After drinking it, the spiritual power will increase by three levels of purity within one day. It is very beneficial for cultivators." After saying that, the waiter opened the lid of the jade plate of soup, and the spiritual energy in the soup misted and rolled above the soup.

"The second dish is 'Phoenix Returns to the Phoenix Nest'. It uses phoenix pheasants that have been eating spiritual grass for a year, wrapped in a third-level fire-head spiritual chicken and stewed, supplemented with eight kinds of spiritual herbs, steamed and cooked. It will increase the effect of spiritual power recovery within a day after consumption." The waiter opened the jade cover on the second jade plate, cut open the outer layer of fiery red spiritual chicken with a jade knife, took out the phoenix pheasant inside, put it into another jade plate, and placed it on the table.

"The third dish is the Three Treasures of the Immortals. It is made with deep-sea amber ginseng, earthly dragon gallbladder, and sky-high phoenix blood, boiled with ten kinds of spiritual medicines. After eating it, you can calm your mind and increase the possibility of sudden enlightenment." The waiter said as he opened the jade plate under the jade cover and placed it on the table.

"This pot of fairy wine..." The waiter was still introducing the dishes and drinks when he was interrupted by the diners at the table.

"Serve the food and wine and leave quickly. Don't shout and don't disturb me." The gray-robed monk waved his hand, looked out the window, and said without turning his head.

The waiter fell silent, moved cautiously, put down the wine jug and wine glass, and left silently with the three female cultivators who were serving the dishes.

This seven-story Pinling Building is one of the three highest-level restaurants in the market. It serves exquisite dishes and high-end spiritual wines. The top floor overlooks half of the market.

There are two other restaurants diagonally opposite to it on the left and right. Each restaurant is located at the beginning of two streets, forming a right triangle.

Tianyan Tower is located in the center of the market town, right between three restaurants and three main streets.

A three-way street is formed with Tianyan Building as the center.

The building is thirty-three meters high, with twelve floors, and the whole structure looks like a fine carving of white jade.

Thirty feet away from each restaurant, a tower square is formed around Tianyan Tower with Tianyan Tower as the center.

The Sanhe formation blocks talents, and the Liuhe formation traps immortals.

Shi Chen looked at the layout of the market town and found that it matched the arrangement of these two compound formations.

"Whoever set up the formation intended to trap and kill those within it. Add to that the defensive strangulation formation in the market, who set this up? Those who don't understand the formation will find it difficult to escape, even with a combined cultivation. I must be well prepared before entering Tianyan Tower." Shi Chen observed, deep in thought.

"Suan Fang is quite skilled. As soon as he stepped into the market, he could tell that this place was full of dangers that could threaten his life. Without hesitation, he immediately fled. Fortunately, he was alert. Otherwise, if he had directly entered Tianyan Tower and asked for a fortune telling, and if he had come for me, it would have been very dangerous."

He cast a barrier, shielding his surroundings, and waved his formation flag, disappearing into the surrounding space. After completing the arrangements and removing the barrier, he looked at the dishes and wines before him, savoring them one by one, and then slowly walked downstairs.

"Shopkeeper, the dishes are good, and the wine is mellow, which makes me happy. The rest is your reward!" He came to the first floor, with a smile on his face, took out a bag of spirit stones from the storage ring, threw it to the shopkeeper behind the counter, and held the edge of the counter. While the shopkeeper caught the bag of spirit stones, he hid a jade slip into the counter.

"Thank you, sir! I'm glad you like it!" said the shopkeeper with a big smile on his face.

"Let's go to the other two restaurants and compare which restaurant has the best dishes." Shi Chen looked expectant and walked away.

At the hour of Mao the next day, Shi Chen received a message from Tianyan Tower, and arranged to have divination at Tianyan Tower at the hour of Si, three quarters past three today.

Yesterday, Shi Chen came to the market and went to the bottom of Tianyan Building. He received a jade plate with his number, engraved his name on it, left his contact information, and then went to the restaurant.

I originally thought I would have to wait for a while, but unexpectedly I got a seat the next day.

"Senior, please follow me to the top floor. Do not use your spiritual sense and just sit quietly for a moment. If you act rashly, the destiny master will refuse to predict your fortune." The leading female cultivator instructed.

"I understand, but there are so many numbers to be counted every day, aren't they arranged in sequence?" Shi Chen asked.

"The number plates are only for the fortune teller to choose, not for queuing. Every day at noon, the fortune teller will select three plates and arrange the divination time." The leading female cultivator replied respectfully.

Going up to the top floor, there is a small compartment blocked off by three screens on the north side. The west side is the staircase that Shi Chen came up from. There is a set of tables and chairs on the south side, with a cup of spiritual tea on the table. There are windows on the east, south and west sides.

Shi Chen sat down at the tea table and closed his eyes to rest.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and I began to wonder. Didn't they say we should sit quietly for a quarter of an hour? Why was there no movement? Looking at the partitioned room enclosed by the screen, I was filled with doubts.

He was just about to stand up and walk towards the screen when a female voice came from the compartment: "Come here..." The voice was a little choked, but soon returned to calm. The suppressed voice continued: "The person you are looking for is in the west and can be found within ten days."

"Hmm?" Shi Chen frowned, constantly recalling the voice just now. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he released a trace of spiritual sense to investigate the entire floor.

After a breath, he withdrew his consciousness and calmed his mind. The heaving of his chest gradually subsided, and the tense muscles on his face returned to normal. Then he said softly, "I'm here."

"Snapped!"

A crisp and short cracking sound came from behind the screen, like a thunder in the silence.

They both knew in their hearts that they could not recognize each other at this time.

Shi Chen waved his hand, pinched the seal, and laid down the restriction. He said in a deep voice: "I will hand over the sign in three days. This time, I will not just walk away!"

"You...you'd better go far away and find your Taoist partner!" The voice coming from behind the screen sounded a little resentful.

After removing the restrictions, Shi Chen showed gratitude and said in a loud voice, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. If I find them, I will definitely come back to thank you generously!"

The female nun leading the way was standing at the stairs on the eleventh floor waiting. When she saw Shi Chen coming down, she looked at him intently, then turned around and led the way away.

Arriving at the entrance of the first floor of Tianyan Tower, the female cultivator asked, "Senior, you were just divining on the rooftop. It seems that you set a restriction for three breaths. This is against the rules of Tianyan Tower. Please explain."

"Well, seeing that the master's divination is amazing, I would like to ask you a personal question." Shi Chen said.

"What's the matter?" asked the female cultivator.

"Is it necessary to explain?" Shi Chen asked humbly.

He noticed that the female cultivator was glaring at him, undeterred by his cultivation aura. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes filled with majesty and anger. The veins on her forehead were throbbing slightly, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Of course I have to explain! The rules of Tianyan Building cannot be broken. If you don't explain clearly, don't blame me for reporting to the higher-ups in the market!"
