She Zhuyin did not sleep at all that night.
She sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, while a stream of Mental Strength stretched into the distance, all the way to a mountain in the outskirts of Beichen Star Imperial City.
Hu Shantu was reading in a Small Wooden House in a mountain hollow.
A single lamp glowed like a bean, and the study was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
She Zhuyin's Mental Strength silently descended.
Hu Shantu abruptly looked up and asked uncertainly, "...Master?"
She Zhuyin took a deep breath and said, "Shantu, can you perform another divination for me? Find out where the person I'm looking for really is."
Hu Shantu hurriedly rose to his feet and scratched his head awkwardly. "Master, I made mistakes in both my previous divinations. Perhaps my skills aren't refined enough. I've been studying the Divination Canon passed down by my Qingqiu ancestors, but I'm only halfway through it..."
She Zhuyin said, "It's all right. I believe in you. Perform the divination now."
Her voice was gentle, yet it carried an authority that allowed no doubt.
Hu Shantu could not disobey her at all and immediately said, "I'll begin right away!"
As he spoke, he brought out two Bronze Tortoise Shells whose age could not be determined. He muttered several incantations, then rolled his eyes back until only the whites showed.
In an instant, his entire aura changed.
Behind him rose an incomparably enormous Phantom that extended beyond the roof and into the night sky.
The Phantom crouched on the ground, with nine fluffy tails.
Hu Shantu stared blankly ahead as the Phantom behind him controlled his hands, casting the shells onto the ground six times.
With each hexagram, a star lit up in the room, displaying the shape of the hexagram.
