"From now on, whatever you need me to do, just say the word, and I, Duan Yanqing, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Duan Yanqing spoke solemnly, then bowed deeply to Su Chen.
The copy of the "One Finger Divine Skill" manual, which had been prepared long ago, was also presented.
Su Chen took the manual, glanced at it casually, and put it aside. He then turned to look at Xu Fengnian.
This is the key person today!
"I am Xu Fengnian, the heir apparent of Beiliang. I have the honor of meeting the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
Upon seeing Su Chen's gaze, Xu Fengnian immediately bowed respectfully.
His experiences along the way greatly increased his respect for Su Chen.
It's no longer a question of whether or not to have one's fortune told.
The key is not to offend the Celestial Immortal, otherwise the entire Beiliang will suffer.
Su Chen casually grabbed the Golden Heavenly Secret Token and slowly said:
“Xu Fengnian, you are the son of Xu Xiao, the Prince of Beiliang of the Liyang Dynasty, and your mother is Wu Su, the previous generation of sword champion of the Wu family sword tomb.”
"You came here today to ask about your mother, Wu Su... right?"
Upon hearing this, both Lao Huang and Nangong Pushe were stunned.
They originally thought Xu Fengnian wanted to find out who the number one swordsman in the world was, but they didn't expect him to ask about Wu Su.
"The Celestial Immortal can see through the secrets of heaven; I admire him greatly."
"When the Celestial Immortal was commenting on the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, he mentioned my mother, Wu Su."
"According to the Celestial Immortal, my mother had at least reached the Divine Realm before she died, and had even stepped into the realm of a terrestrial immortal."
"I don't understand, if she had such a high level of cultivation, why did she die at such a young age?"
“Every time I asked my father about this, he would give vague answers and avoid the topic.”
"Therefore, I am certain that there must be more to my mother's death than meets the eye. I humbly request the guidance of the Celestial Immortal."
Xu Fengnian asked with a calm gaze and a firm tone.
At this moment, he showed no trace of a spoiled brat. Although he had no cultivation, he was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, extremely sharp.
After listening to Xu Fengnian's words, the others gradually understood the problem.
Although martial arts training cannot directly extend lifespan, having profound internal energy can make the body stronger and allow one to live longer.
With such profound cultivation and such a young age, Wu Su is at the peak of her energy.
But she died.
The only explanation is that she died in an accident, not from natural causes.
But who could possibly kill a powerful being who is about to reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal?
Moreover, she has the Wu family's sword tomb and the Beiliang iron cavalry behind her.
Thinking of this, the group couldn't help but feel a chill.
If Wu Su was indeed murdered, then the mastermind behind it must be an extraordinary person.
Su Chen couldn't wait to tell Xu Fengnian's fortune.
Previously, when he told fortunes for Li Hanyi and Sikong Changfeng, he obtained unique skills such as "Zhouliu Liuxu Gong" and "Shenjian Yulei Zhenjue".
As the protagonist in the snow, Xu Fengnian's luck is definitely far stronger than that of Li Hanyi and Sikong Changfeng.
Su Chen couldn't help but imagine what kind of reward he would receive for telling Xu Fengnian's fortune.
However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
Su Chen unfolded his fan and said unhurriedly:
"Your mother, Wu Su, is a rare woman, one in a hundred years."
"Especially in her talent for swordsmanship, even if we go back five hundred years, only that female sword immortal from the Great Qin Dynasty can be compared with her."
"She started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three and earned the title of Sword Champion at the age of fourteen."
"Later, she walked out of the Sword Tomb with a single sword strike, shocking the entire Jianghu of Liyang. She was known as the number one swordswoman in the world and the number one female sword immortal."
"At that time, Li Yangwu wrote a special introduction for her and even wrote a poem to praise her: 'One sword shines over thirty provinces, its fierce energy soars into the sky and shoots towards the Dipper and the Ox.'"
"If she hadn't met Xu Xiao, perhaps she could have become a terrestrial immortal like that female swordswoman from the Great Qin Dynasty, and lived a carefree life thereafter."
"Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us."
"Wu Su, the number one female sword immortal, happened to encounter Xu Xiao, the most shameless person in the world."
"Back then, Xu Xiao was neither the King of Beiliang nor a butcher; he was just an unknown lowly soldier."
"But when he faced Wu Su, who was already famous throughout the world, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he said that he wanted to marry her."
"'If you want a martial arts world, I'll give you one; if you want the world, I'll give you everything. But all I want is a son. Will you give him that?'"
"The two were of very different social statuses, but Wu Su still agreed."
"She even betrayed the Wu family's sword tomb in order to be with Xu Xiao, and stayed by his side from then on."
"Xu Xiaozheng marched to Liaodong, and Wu Su followed him on a white horse. With a single sword strike, he broke through the city gate, and the sword light swept away three thousand suits of armor."
"Including the Battle of Xilingbi, which is known throughout the world, she was at the forefront, wearing a white veil, and personally struck the fish-dragon drum that was as tall as a person."
"The drums beat like thunder, and the drums will not stop until Western Chu is defeated. Who in the entire army dares not fight to the death?"
"But prosperity inevitably leads to decline."
"The Spring and Autumn Period came to an end, the precious sword was sealed away, and Wu Su's tragedy began."
"This involves a wide range of issues, which is unimaginable and cannot be borne by ordinary people, nor can it be measured by ordinary costs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Although Xu Fengnian was mentally prepared, Su Chen's words still shocked him greatly.
His mother's death was indeed not so simple; there was a huge secret hidden behind it, which even Xu Xiao was helping to keep in the dark.
Can he really keep this secret?
Xu Fengnian had some doubts.
At this moment, Lao Huang, Minister Nangong, and Duan Yanqing, who were sitting next to him, were also stunned.
Su Chen's words were truly a bombshell:
It turns out there was a female sword immortal in the world of Qin Dynasty, who was so powerful that she had reached the level of a terrestrial immortal, the so-called terrestrial sword immortal!
This is the only confirmed land-based sword immortal besides Dugu Qiubai!
If such news were to spread, the entire martial arts world of the Great Qin would be in an uproar.
Wu Su originally had the opportunity to become a figure as formidable as this female swordswoman, but unfortunately, fate was cruel to her, and she passed away halfway through her journey.
Otherwise, she could have made a name for herself in the martial arts world.
Xu Fengnian had made up his mind; his eyes were firm, and his voice was resounding:
"I am willing to offer the ten divine weapons and three hundred martial arts manuals from the Tingchao Pavilion of the Beiliang Prince's Mansion as payment."
"Please, Celestial Mystery Immortal, make a move!"
The seventeenth floor of the Ascension Pavilion was quiet.
Xu Fengnian's determination made the atmosphere in the entire hall heavy.
This is a huge secret; they actually want Xu Fengnian to give up ten divine weapons and three hundred secret martial arts manuals from Tingchao Pavilion as a price.
You should know that the Tingchao Pavilion of the Beiliang Prince's Mansion is a well-known name in the martial arts world.
Back then, Xu Xiao was ordered to roam the martial world, where he destroyed countless sects, including many renowned and prestigious ones with long histories and profound foundations.
All the treasures of these sects, including various divine weapons and martial arts manuals, were collected by Xu Xiao and stored in Tingchao Pavilion.
It can be said that half of the martial arts tradition of Liyang Jianghu is preserved in Tingchao Pavilion.
Listening to the Tide Pavilion is a place that many martial artists dream of.
Even Minister Nangong was willing to follow Xu Fengnian only so that he could enter Tingchao Pavilion.
This time, Xu Fengnian took out ten divine weapons and three hundred secret martial arts manuals from Tingchao Pavilion.
Any martial arts practitioner would be terrified upon hearing this number.
But for Xu Fengnian, none of this mattered.
After all, these were all collected by Xu Xiao; as the saying goes, "a son sells his grandfather's land without a care."
Moreover, Xu Fengnian was also aware of this:
Each divine weapon taken away is one less available, so he only mentioned ten.
The divine skill manual can be copied countless times. Even if Su Chen were to copy it three hundred times, it would not have any effect on the Listening Tide Pavilion itself.
Now his only concern is whether the pay is enough.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Chen nervously.
Su Chen nodded slightly and said slowly, "As you wish."
Although what Xu Fengnian gave him was of little use, who would complain about having too many divine weapons and secret manuals?
With these divine weapons and secret manuals, plus the treasures given by other martial arts masters, he could build a place similar to Tingchao Pavilion and Huanshi Water Pavilion, which he would call Tianji Pavilion.
If we add in all the system rewards, creating the number one martial arts mecca in the world wouldn't be a dream.
Most importantly, these rewards were just a small matter; the fortune-telling reward from the system was what Su Chen truly wanted.
Su Chen carefully examined Xu Fengnian's face, and the system quickly responded:
"Successfully told Xu Fengnian's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a perfect-grade [Celestial Body]."
Upon hearing the system notification, even though Su Chen was prepared, his heart skipped a beat.
Or is it a perfect celestial physique?
