Eye of Insight

Duan Fan immediately examined Tang San's current situation.

Lines of text quickly emerged.

It stated that after Su Yuntao reported Tang San's innate full spirit power, a high-ranking deacon from the Notting City Spirit Hall branch personally went to Sacred Soul Village to make contact with Tang San.

At this moment, that high-ranking deacon had already successfully met with Tang San.

Unlike Su Yuntao, who had immediately dismissed the spirit as trash, this high-ranking deacon was relentlessly praising Tang San's limitless future.

He claimed that with innate full spirit power, even if the spirit was Blue Silver Grass, one could still become a powerful spirit master in the future.

He then urged Tang San to join the Spirit Hall, promising that the Spirit Hall would cultivate him with great care.

He went on to list a whole heap of benefits to joining the Spirit Hall.

Duan Fan frowned as he read this.

Yu Xiaogang could trick Tang San into taking him as a master with just a few words.

Was this high-ranking deacon from the Notting City Spirit Hall branch not more sincere than Yu Xiaogang?

Oh no, was Tang San actually going to join the Spirit Hall?

Fang Qingshan, sitting across from Duan Fan, noticed the change in his expression and asked with concern, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Did the food go bad?"

Duan Fan shook his head. "No, not at all."

Fang Qingshan said, "Then it must not taste good."

"That's true, dry rations never taste like much."

"I was too impatient; I should have taken you to the market to eat and rest for a while before we set off."

Uncle, please stop overthinking!

When did I ever say the rations didn't taste good?

Duan Fan felt helpless at Fang Qingshan's excessive concern. He shoved the flatbread in his hand into his mouth in a few bites and mumbled, "Uncle, this flatbread is quite tasty."

Fang Qingshan said, "You are just too sensible, child."

Duan Fan: "..."

Interrupted by Fang Qingshan, Duan Fan's fluctuating emotions actually calmed down.

His attention returned to the events unfolding for Tang San.

The high-ranking deacon was still speaking kindly and inviting Tang San to join the Spirit Hall.

However, the nicer the deacon spoke, the more hesitant Tang San became, leading him to imagine all sorts of possibilities.

He even began to suspect the high-ranking deacon had ulterior motives, thinking he was not far from the path of self-destruction.

That was very Tang San.

Old Jack was also present.

It was Old Jack who had brought the high-ranking deacon to Tang San's home.

Being able to meet a high-ranking deacon from the Notting City Spirit Hall branch made Old Jack feel deeply honored, perhaps even overjoyed.

Hearing the deacon invite Tang San to join the Spirit Hall, Old Jack took the initiative to act as a lobbyist, constantly urging Tang San to cherish this rare opportunity.

Influenced by Old Jack, Tang San stopped overthinking and ultimately agreed to the deacon, leaving Sacred Soul Village with him.

"That Old Jack, seriously. Why do you have to meddle in Tang San's business? If you hadn't been there yapping away, maybe Tang San wouldn't have left."

Duan Fan grumbled in his heart, though he managed to control his expression this time so as not to draw Fang Qingshan's attention again.

Information regarding Tang San was quickly organized into another segment.

It detailed Tang San asking the high-ranking deacon questions about spirit master knowledge, which the other party answered one by one with great patience.

After reading this information, Duan Fan immediately attempted to make modifications.

He wanted to cause an accident for Tang San and the high-ranking deacon on their way to Notting City, but the results all ended in failure.

Whether it was manufacturing an accident or altering the thoughts of the high-ranking deacon or Tang San, nothing succeeded.

It seemed that Tang San going to the Notting City Spirit Hall branch was a foregone conclusion.

After several failed attempts to modify the situation, Duan Fan had to temporarily give up.

"I'll just have to wait until they reach Notting City and look for another opportunity."

"My original intention with this modification was to have Tang San attract the Spirit Hall's attention sooner, so he would be targeted by them earlier."

"Who would have thought this high-ranking deacon from the Notting City Spirit Hall branch would be so enthusiastic as to go find Tang San himself?"

"It seems not everyone in the Notting City Spirit Hall branch is as hopeless as Brother Tao; the allure of innate full spirit power is still quite significant."

"If Tang San really joins the Spirit Hall, I feel like this modification of mine hasn't caused him any negative impact at all—instead, it's given him an epic-level buff."

"He took Yu Xiaogang as a master and could steadily improve at the Elementary Spirit Master Academy in Notting City; later, he had such a growth rate at a bizarre academy like Shrek. If he goes to the Spirit Hall and has their resources, wouldn't he just take off?"

"All in all, I was just too careless this time. If I hadn't been so eager to squeeze system rewards out of Tang San, this situation wouldn't have happened."

"Wait!"

Duan Fan, whose thoughts had drifted far away, suddenly realized something.

"The fact that I can obtain system rewards means that this matter also has a negative impact on Tang San."

"Which means I don't need to overthink it at all; I can just wait for the follow-up."

Coming back to his senses, Duan Fan stopped dwelling on these matters and shifted his attention to the system reward he had obtained for altering Tang San's fate.

"Eye of Insight—did I draw the luck of Tang San's Purple Demon Eye?"

Duan Fan cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to earnestly sense the Eye of Insight.

Soon, he felt a trace of a special connection.

The Eye of Insight could be activated at his will.

Duan Fan blinked and looked at Fang Qingshan.

Fang Qingshan's next action—picking up a kettle to drink water—automatically appeared in his mind.

Sure enough, Fang Qingshan really did exactly that.

Furthermore, Duan Fan could recall every detail he had just seen, including the creases on the cushion, the grain of the floorboards, and even the individual stubble on Fang Qingshan's chin, all of which could be reproduced in his mind.

It was as if he had taken a photograph that recorded everything.

Whenever he wanted to see it, he could bring it up, and any detail could be magnified at will.

"Insight into everything, predicting the future—is this the effect of the Eye of Insight?"

Duan Fan then tried a few more times and successfully predicted all of Fang Qingshan's movements.

"Not bad."

"It's just that the prediction time is a bit short, only about one second."

"But it's already enough; in actual combat, one second is enough to determine life or death."

"Aside from my eyes feeling slightly tired from continuous use, there doesn't seem to be any other discomfort."

Duan Fan was very satisfied with the Eye of Insight.

"I'm suddenly looking forward to Tang San arriving in Notting City soon. It doesn't matter whether he joins Spirit Hall or not; I just want to keep plucking things from him. I've already plucked his twin spirits and his eye abilities—I wonder what kind of surprise Tang San will bring me next?"

Duan Fan glanced at Tang San's current status again; Tang San was still on his way to Notting City.

"It takes some time to get from Sacred Soul Village to Notting City, so I'll check again later."

"Time to continue cultivating."

Duan Fan spent another half a day in cultivation.

He cultivated from the high sun to the setting sun.

After finishing his cultivation, Duan Fan had no heart to admire the beautiful sunset, instead checking on Tang San's situation first.

Tang San had already arrived in Notting City and had just finished a sumptuous dinner hosted by a high-ranking deacon.

At this moment, the two of them were on their way to the Spirit branch hall.

The high-ranking deacon needed to pick up something there and then planned to settle Tang San in his own home.

As the two were walking, someone suddenly turned out from a street corner.

The high-ranking deacon recognized that person.

Usually, he was not very willing to greet the other party.

But today, he was in a good mood.

"Grandmaster, long time no see."
