Chapter 249: Chapter 107: Four-Color Glow
The Wanxiang Card of the Wanxiang Sect came in several tiers, the lowest being the grade-3 card, whose greatest effect was to receive payments for completed tasks.
The Tier 2 card had some privileges, such as the complimentary use of some of the Wanxiang Sect’s artifacts and free access to some low-end intelligence.
As for the Tier 1 card, it was also a privilege held by the leaders of the Six Sects, allowing the use of artifacts like the Heavenly Destiny Tablet without any cost.
Above that was the Supreme Card, which only contributing leaders and Elders of the Wanxiang Sect were eligible for, and it had always been something he dreamed of obtaining.
Of course, these could be obtained through spending or making certain contributions. According to legend, the highest-class “Heaven and Earth” cards were the hardest to obtain, seldom issued, not even held by all the headquarters Elders.
Especially rare were the Sky-blue Wanxiang Cards, which one could count on one’s fingers.
He had never seen one, but he could feel the overwhelming power breaking through the skies within the blue traces, vividly piercing the soul, something certainly not replicable or fake.
That is to say, this card was undoubtedly genuine and could be exchanged for the real thing.
A nobody he had looked down upon actually produced such a precious card… Could it be, the so-called verification through testing was just a disguise?
His body trembling, Qian Yuhuan felt darkness before his eyes, slightly dizzy.
How could someone who could casually produce such a card be ordinary? It was ludicrous how he’d postured and pretended, likely having thoroughly offended the individual…
Recalling his previous actions, cold sweat immediately streamed down his spine.
The more he had boasted before, the more regret he felt now… Qian Yuhuan, filled with regret, was thinking of how to apologize when he heard the young man opposite him speak up, his voice tinged with puzzlement.
“Is my card acceptable? If not, I’ll get another one!”
Had he not heard the words, it would have been better, but upon hearing them, Qian Yuhuan’s body shook once more, almost dropping to his knees right then and there.
Backhanded comments!
It was obvious the other party was using his words to poke at him!
This was a card with the highest authority within the Wanxiang Sect. If even this was of no use, what else could be of value?
To think that although the young man looked youthful, he was quite ruthless!
His scalp numbing, Qian Yuhuan mustered his courage, “Of course, it is acceptable…”
After speaking, he cautiously returned the card, and with clenched teeth bowed with his fists together, “My apologies, Young Master Zhang, for my blindness and ignorance… I will return your Origin Notes now, and in the future, should you visit, let alone using the Heavenly Destiny Tablet, even dismantling this room would be no big deal!”
“Dismantling the room?”
Zhang Xuan looked over with a wary expression.
This guy, he couldn’t possibly know something, right? Deliberately using these words to test me?
No, if he informed Shi Yunjing, no amount of money would be enough to compensate…
With that thought, Zhang Xuan hurriedly interjected, repeatedly waving his hands, “I am an honest man, I won’t do such things! You can’t talk nonsense like that.”
Would never admit it and see what you can say now.
“Talking nonsense?”
Seeing his expression and tone, Qian Yuhuan’s heart sank once more.
It seemed the other party still hadn’t forgiven him. The words “talking nonsense” were pinpointing his lack of discernment and spouting nonsense!
Understanding the other party’s “intentions,” Qian Yuhuan’s face appeared like he wanted to cry, biting his lip, he bowed deeply: “I’m sorry, Young Master Zhang, I was wrong. I was ignorant before, please forgive me!”
“???”
Now it was Zhang Xuan’s turn to be stunned.
Could it be this guy wasn’t hinting at him, but was just facing the facts?
“Old Qian, you…”
On one side, Shi Yunjing was also blinking, equally puzzled about what exactly happened.
After his apology, the crowd fell silent, since the other party said nothing, knowing he still hadn’t been forgiven, Qian Yuhuan clenched his teeth, holding the Origin Notes, he approached Sun Qiang, “I’m returning these Origin Notes. In addition, here’s a little gift for our meeting, please accept it…”
Having said that, he took out a large stack of notes from his pocket and handed them over.
Sun Qiang blinked, and with just a glance, he knew that the stack in front of him wasn’t one billion, it would still be at least fifty million.
Just now insisting on money, now not only returning it but also offering a gift…
Feeling mystified, he couldn’t help but look towards the young master not far away, seeking his opinion.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan finally realized something was amiss; his eyes fell on the Wanxiang Card in the other’s hand.
If he guessed right, this object must be the cause.
He had thought it was a gift from Yue Longxiao, but now it seemed to be from the hands of Ouyang Hai. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused such a drastic change in the other’s behavior.
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan relaxed and nodded his head, instructing, “As long as you don’t talk nonsense, don’t make false accusations, given the good intentions, just accept it directly!”
Still had to remind him not to blabber about toppling over the Heaven Mandate Hall.
“Thank you…” Qian Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, he was hinting at me! Telling me not to talk nonsense…
“???”
“What has happened here? This is Master Qian, why has his attitude changed so rapidly?”
“Last time I came, I also had to pay for the test. Why has it suddenly changed?”
While Shi Yunjing had not yet responded, the surrounding crowd was equally blown away, exchanging confused glances, not understanding.
They all knew what kind of person Qian Yuhuan was, stubborn, stern, uncompromising…
Such a man, once he asked for money, how could he easily let it slide? Now, not only is he returning money, but also actively apologizing and even offering a welcoming gift…
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed bizarre.
“Could it be… that this guy’s identity is not simple?”
Seeing this scene, Mo Hong clenched his fist unconsciously.
The onlooker sees more of the game; from a distance, he was more able to detect problems. Only after Master Qian confirmed the other’s complex identity would he show such obsequious behavior after being arrogant.
It appeared that this Zhang Xuan was not a simple 1-star Fate Master.
“Young Master Zhang, please!”
Ignoring the audience’s expressions, Qian Yuhuan motioned to the front where the Heavenly Destiny Tablet was located.
“Mhm!”
Zhang Xuan nodded his head and approached the tablet, touching it in the manner the other had described.
Buzz!
Without lingering too long, the tablet trembled, a red light flashed out, illuminating the surroundings.
The red light signified the first level Fate Master, a 1-star Fate Master.
“Congratulations, Young Master Zhang. It seems our Heaven Mandate Hall has gained another Fate Master…”
Shi Yunjing laughed.
“Just a first level? Not right, could it be that Min Jiangtao’s saber art has nothing to do with him?”
Mo Hong was befuddled again.
After seeing Qian Yuhuan’s attitude shift, he had thought this guy was just pretending and that his true strength was far greater. After all the commotion, it turned out he thought too much!
He’s just a 1-star Fate Master, and even if his cultivation was higher, it would at most be a pinnacle of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.
Because reaching the Galaxy Realm without comprehending the second realm Fate is almost impossible.
As he was shocked, Qian Yuhuan by his side was equally puzzled. How could such a modest 1-star Fate Master have such a precious Sky-blue Wanxiang Card?
Before he could finish this thought, the tablet suddenly changed color, releasing an orange light, followed by a yellow light, then a green light.
In the blink of an eye, four colors constantly changed and flickered, making it feel like being in a disco…
“???”
Qian Yuhuan was dumbfounded.
Understanding one’s Fate meant either being in the first, second, or third level… In any case, the realm was fixed, and now red, orange, yellow, and green kept flashing like neon lights, so what was going on?
Not just him, but Shi Yunjing and the onlookers were all exchanging looks with the faces of people who have seen ghosts.
They had seen people producing red light, orange light, yellow light…
But they had never seen all red, orange, yellow, and green appear at once.
“Not right, if it’s just the first level, it wouldn’t show so many colors… This Zhang Xuan indeed has something mysterious about him!”
Mo Hong’s gaze became grave once more.
Just now he thought he might have been mistaken, but now it seemed the guy indeed was not simple.
Good thing he didn’t rush to cause trouble after finding out Min Jiangtao was related to him or else he might have spooked the target.
“I must report this matter to my master…”
Unable to figure it out after a long thought and why one person would make the tablet show so many colors, Mo Hong could only shake his head and stop thinking.
“Ah, this…”
Unlike the shock of the crowd, standing in front of the tablet, Zhang Xuan was equally stunned before suddenly realizing.
Others didn’t understand why he emitted four kinds of lights, but he had already reacted.
Other cultivators only practiced one type of Fate, whereas he had copied several.
The Pathos of Heaven Fate, 1-star.
Flowing Light Fate, 2-star.
Mo Dao Fate, 3-star.
Giant Wave Formation Fate, 4-star!
These four Fates encompassed four tiers, detected by the Heavenly Destiny Tablet, and somewhat uncertain, thus resulting in the current situation…
Quickly withdrawing his hand, Zhang Xuan offered an embarrassed smile, “Master Qian, is this Heavenly Destiny Tablet broken? Why else would there be so many colors flashing chaotically…”
“Ah… Yes! You are right, it’s broken!”
Qian Yuhuan was no fool. Remembering the hint he was given earlier, he immediately agreed, “This tablet had issues for some time now and hasn’t been repaired… I am really sorry!”
“Broken?”
Hearing him say that, although the crowd still had some doubts, they reluctantly accepted it.
They had no choice but to accept it. They certainly couldn’t claim this person had comprehended four different tiers of Fate, could they?
That’s impossible!
“No matter what color, since I could light up the tablet, does that mean I’m officially a Fate Master now?”
Seeing the other party help conceal the truth, Zhang Xuan nodded satisfactorily and looked towards the not-far Hall Master Shi Yunjing.
“Of course!”
Shi Yunjing replied, “I will arrange someone to make the token representing the status of a Fate Master right away!”
Their main purpose for coming here was to verify whether the other party had passed the assessment, found their suitable Fate, and could light it up. Regardless of the color, it indicated that the goal has been reached, and that he now held the status of a Fate Master.
Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the remaining crowd, “Everyone else should test too!”
Sun Qiang and the others nodded.
“Since this Heavenly Destiny Tablet is faulty, please come this way, let’s use this stone pillar for testing…”
Qian Yuhuan led the crowd to another stone pillar.
Whether the previous one was truly faulty or not, as long as this one was working, that’s all that mattered!
