The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 349 The Seven Star Divination Lamp!
I thought it would be a simple and boring competition, but I didn't expect that the first competition would be so interesting.

Yunran's interest was immediately piqued, and her gaze fell on the old book, while she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The foundation of a Taoist family is truly exceptional; they possess all sorts of fine things.

Yunran was happy, but those who came to cheer her up suffered.

"This isn't a fight against the other side; it's a fight against those two most powerful Xuan Masters in the Xuan Sect."

"How can Yunran be so reckless!"

"Damn it, I've heard that those two seniors have already achieved enlightenment. If I offend them..."

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, the blind Taoist priest would have rushed down right now, picked up Yunran, and run away. This competition was like rubbing a tiger's tail.

The man standing opposite Yunran looked at her and said with arrogance, "My surname is Nalan, Nalan Jing."

Yunran's mind quickly flipped through her previous memories, and she soon matched the person in front of her with the person in front of her.

It is said that an ancestor of the Nalan family served as the imperial advisor, and members of the family are renowned for their divination skills.

The Nalan Jing in front of them is the youngest son of the Nalan family. He has amazing talent and is also the one who supports the other Nalan family contestants.

Unexpectedly, this person appeared here at this moment, becoming the one who challenged her.

Regardless of what the Nalan family's plans are, at least they respected her as their opponent and sent out their most capable ally.

Yunran's attitude immediately became much more upright, and she returned the greeting to Nalan Jing using the etiquette of the Xuanmen: "Qingfeng Temple, Yunran."

This scene surprised those who had previously thought Yun Ran was extremely arrogant.

"Didn't we say before that Yun Ran was using her position with Director Xie to provoke us aristocratic families? But when I looked at her bow just now, she didn't seem rude at all."

"Perhaps she knew that Nalan's identity was not simple, which is why she was being polite?"

"It shouldn't be. If she were really as arrogant as those people say, why would she suddenly show respect to her opponent just because of Nalan's status?"

"You mean, someone is deliberately sowing discord between us, trying to provoke us into standing up and teaching Yunran a lesson?"

"Stop guessing, we'll see. Whether someone wants us to teach Yunran a lesson or wants Yunran to climb over us to the top, without strength, it's all for nothing!"

……

Nalan Jing really disliked Yun Ran, but now, seeing Yun Ran actually return his greeting, and in a very formal way at that.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yun Ran, seemingly trying to guess what she was up to this time.

Yunran, however, had already sat cross-legged on the table where she had been before.

Nalan Jing then sat down as well, and both of their eyes turned to the old books.

"Let's start with this first divination to see if our two seniors agree to let us use the books they left behind!"

As soon as Nalan Jing finished speaking, Yun Ran had no reaction yet, but many people watching the battle around them gasped in shock.

They are all members of the Xuanmen sect, and many of them come from wealthy and influential families. Naturally, they know far more information than outsiders.

These two senior figures of the Xuanmen sect are said to have suddenly disappeared into a mountain range one day. Some say they foresaw their own death and thus departed gracefully.

But many others suspect that these two have found a way to achieve enlightenment and have already become immortals. However, regardless of whether they are dead or have become immortals, to ask them for their consent, one must first determine their lifespan.

Divination involving highly skilled gods or ghosts carries immense karmic consequences; even among those in the Xuanmen (Taoist sects), few can withstand it.

Yun Ran chuckled lightly, "Alright, I'm quite curious too, whether the two seniors will agree or not."

Nalan Jing clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought over an old box. After opening it, they took out seven lamps that looked like bronze lamps.

As soon as the lamp was taken out, many of the people who were sitting stood up, somewhat inappropriately.

"This...this is the Seven Star Divination Lamp!"

"My God, the legendary Seven Star Lamp that can be used to seek divine guidance actually exists, and it's still in the hands of the Nalan family. They've hidden it so well."

"I thought it was just an ordinary challenge, but I never expected to see the Seven Star Lanterns. My life has been worth it!"

Even the expressions on the faces of Daoist Qingmu and the others were somewhat solemn, as if they could already foresee that Yun Ran would have a hard time winning.

"Oh no, oh no, Yun Ran's luck is too bad! How could she run into the Nalan family with their Seven Star Divination Lamp? How can she compete like this!"

"Legend has it that the Seven Star Divination Lamp can not only be used to seek divine guidance, but also to extend one's life by drawing upon the power of gods and ghosts..."

"Weren't the Nalan family supposed to be keeping a low profile? Why are they pulling out all the stops right from the start this time?!"

……

The atmosphere on the scene was instantly stirred up, and no one paid any attention to the other three who were fighting fiercely.

Looking at the Seven Star Divination Lamp, Yunran's eyes revealed a hint of envy. This was a wonderful thing; even their Qingfeng Temple didn't have anything similar.

However, since Qingfeng Temple wants to seek immortality and consult divination, they don't need these things.

Despite her envy, Yunran never once considered taking it for herself.

As it was about to begin, Yun Ran looked at the others and said, "You'd better strengthen your defenses. Let me make this clear: if the two seniors' Dharma forms really descend later, those who can't withstand it can't blame me!"

It's no wonder Yunran acted like a villain at first but then became a gentleman. They say you can't see into someone's heart, and who knows if someone will deliberately take advantage of the chaos to extort money, especially those who aren't very skilled.

Is it easy for her to compete? If the resources she worked so hard to win are then extorted by someone, and many powerful families in the martial arts world take her side, then all her efforts will have been in vain!

The crowd, who were initially in shock, suddenly turned pale upon hearing Yun Ran's blatantly despicable words.

"No, what do you mean?!"

"Exactly, who are you looking down on? Is there anyone like you?"

……

Yun Ran didn't care about these people's dissatisfaction at all. Anyway, she had already said in advance that if some people couldn't handle it later, they shouldn't try to blame her.

Then his gaze turned to Nalan Jing: "I suggest you explain this in advance, otherwise, who knows if those people will try to extort money from you."

Nalan Jing was stunned by Yun Ran's words, but he still noticed that Yun Ran's gaze was subtly falling on the Seven Star Lamp.

He immediately understood Yunran's meaning: she wanted him to avoid risks in advance, so that no one would take advantage of their injury to shamelessly "borrow" the Seven Star Lamp for treatment.
