Before long, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Yu Tianheng, and Dugu Yan left Shrek Academy and headed straight toward Suotuo City.
Inside the Heavenly Secrets Tower, Li Tianyuan glanced at the sky. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to close up and rest.
Just then, the four of them approached the Heavenly Secrets Tower.
"Mr. Li, please wait!"
Seeing Li Tianyuan about to close the door, Flender hurried over and called out.
Li Tianyuan looked at them, a little surprised. "What brings you here?"
Flender said politely, "Mr. Li, we've come to ask you to perform a divination for someone."
"Oh?"
Li Tianyuan swept his gaze over them, his eyes settling on Yu Xiaogang.
The man seemed rather awkward and self-conscious. He was probably the one seeking a divination.
"Mr. Li, this is my uncle, Yu Xiaogang. Please perform a divination concerning his martial soul."
Yu Tianheng stepped forward and spoke politely.
"Then come inside."
Li Tianyuan walked into the building and sat down at the long table.
Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others stood before him.
"Xiaogang, it's your turn to speak!"
Flender addressed Yu Xiaogang beside him.
Yu Xiaogang looked toward Li Tianyuan. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "May I ask, Mr. Li, whether you can divine a way to remedy my martial soul?"
On the surface, Yu Xiaogang calmly accepted his martial soul as it was. In truth, he had always been searching for a way to save it.
The very reason he had become a so-called master of theory was to find a way to save his martial soul!
Unfortunately, he had never succeeded.
Now that a miraculous diviner like Li Tianyun had appeared, he wanted to hear what the man had to say.
"Certainly. First, pay the fee of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Li Tianyuan spoke calmly.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Yu Xiaogang frowned. That was an enormous sum.
Flender spoke up. "Xiaogang, don't worry about the money. We've been selling off Shrek Academy's assets lately. We have ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
With that, he took out a soul tool pouch and placed it on the long table.
"Mr. Li, there are exactly ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in here."
Flender spoke politely.
Li Tianyuan counted the Gold Soul Coins, then nodded slightly. "The amount is correct."
He opened his hand and released his martial soul. The Heavenly Mystery Disc began to spin.
A mysterious, unfathomable power emerged.
At the sight, Yu Xiaogang's expression grew tense.
He was terrified that Li Tianyuan's divination would reveal there was no remedy.
That would be no different from sentencing him to death!
A moment later, the Heavenly Mystery Disc stopped spinning, and the result emerged.
Li Tianyuan smiled faintly. "I have the result!"
Yu Xiaogang grew even more nervous, his voice trembling slightly. "Mr. Li, is there still hope for me?"
"Of course!"
Li Tianyuan nodded slightly.
Only after hearing those words did some of the tension leave Yu Xiaogang's face. His hands clenched into fists.
Beside him, Flender's expression brightened. "Wonderful, Xiaogang! I knew there was still hope for you. You couldn't possibly be stuck at rank twenty-nine forever, unable to break through!"
Yu Tianheng was curious as well. "Mr. Li, please enlighten us!"
Yu Xiaogang's martial soul had mutated when he was young, leaving him with only half a rank of innate soul power. His talent could be considered among the very worst.
If even his condition could be remedied, it was good news for the Yu Family.
Yu Xiaogang spoke again. "Mr. Li, how can it be remedied?"
Li Tianyuan glanced at him and deliberately paused. Tension returned to Yu Xiaogang's face.
Li Tianyuan smiled. "Simple. Find a particular immortal herb, and you can be reborn!"
"This immortal herb is called Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma!"
"After taking it, you'll not only be able to repair your martial soul's innate defects and break through its bottleneck, but also transform your body and increase your soul power!"
"As long as you find this immortal herb and take it, you can immediately break through to rank thirty!"
"Afterward, your martial soul will be able to continue advancing and breaking through!"
Li Tianyuan looked at everyone as he spoke, enunciating every word.
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang began to tremble slightly. He said excitedly, "Mr. Li, is everything you said really true?!"
"As long as I find an immortal herb like Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, I can break through and never be held back by that bottleneck again!"
Yu Xiaogang was so excited that he nearly wept.
He had spent most of his life searching for such a method, wasting enormous amounts of time.
Yet this Mr. Li had found the answer with a single divination!
If only this Mr. Li had appeared in the world sooner.
Beside him, Yu Tianheng was also filled with astonishment.
He truly hadn't expected there to be a remedy for Yu Xiaogang's mutated martial soul.
This could be considered excellent news for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
But it still needed to be verified.
"Absolutely true!"
Li Tianyuan nodded slightly.
Flender, standing nearby, was overjoyed. "Xiaogang, I'll go with you to find Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Even to the ends of the earth, I'll accompany you!"
As Yu Xiaogang's elder brother, he could not shirk that duty.
Yu Xiaogang looked grateful. "Flender, perhaps I can find this immortal herb on my own!"
He took a deep breath, looked at Li Tianyuan, and asked again, "Mr. Li, then may I ask where Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma can currently be found?"
As long as he knew the immortal herb's whereabouts, he felt it shouldn't be difficult to obtain.
"That is a separate question!"
Li Tianyuan waved his hand lightly.
Trying to get something for nothing? Not a chance.
Flender understood what he meant and hurriedly asked, "Then, Mr. Li, please divine the whereabouts of Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma!"
"Certainly. One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Li Tianyuan spoke.
"Why has the price suddenly jumped to one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins?!"
Yu Xiaogang sounded somewhat angry.
Flender's expression changed as well.
This Mr. Li's divination fees really were steep.
But for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's future, they had to learn where Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma was.
"These two pieces of information have different values. Naturally, their fees differ as well."
Li Tianyuan spoke calmly.
"Fine. One hundred thousand it is!"
Wincing at the expense, Flender took another soul tool pouch from inside his clothes.
This held most of the money he had earned from selling off Shrek's assets.
Originally, it had been intended to ransom Zhao Wuji and the others. Now that they no longer needed it, he had taken it out to use for Yu Xiaogang.
But it was still a little short.
He looked at Li Tianyuan, somewhat embarrassed. "Mr. Li, could you lower the price a little? There are over ninety thousand Gold Soul Coins in here. It's only a few thousand short."
"Could you make an exception?"
Flender spoke rather humbly.
"No."
Li Tianyuan shook his head lightly.
Getting him to lower his price was impossible.
His craft peered into heaven and fathomed the earth. It seemed simple, but in truth, it was extraordinarily difficult.
Who else beneath the heavens could accomplish such a thing?
So he absolutely could not lower his price!
