Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Zhang Jie remained in his previous seat, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state. Li Mu also found a corner and sat cross-legged.

Then he dripped his blood to bind the spatial ring that Zhang Jie had just given him, and probed its contents with his soul.

This very ordinary ring is the only spatial magic item that Li Mu currently possesses.

Of course, Wanhe can also be used as a spatial magic artifact now.

He was shocked when he saw it; he hadn't expected Zhang Jie to give him so many spirit stones!

They are all top-grade spirit stones, a total of ten million!

Ten million top-grade spirit stones—that would be an unimaginable fortune in the cultivation world of Earth!

Of course, for the super-rich Li Mu, ten million top-grade spirit stones is nothing, but the medical fee that Zhang Jie gave him was indeed unreasonable.

Li Mu felt that either Zhang Jie was genuinely wealthy, or the other party felt that Li Mu had saved his sister's life and that a generous reward was warranted.

Of course, there is another possibility: that the Three Saints Star has abundant spirit stone resources, and top-grade spirit stones are the most common universal currency, while prices are also very high.

Unfortunately, Wanji Shengying has not yet collected any specific details about this, and Li Mu can only speculate.

Regardless, Zhang Jie's huge sum of money was a godsend for Li Mu, who was currently penniless.

"Wanhe, here's the 100,000 top-grade spirit stones you owe me."

As Li Mu spoke, he handed over 100,000 top-grade spirit stones to Wan He.

"Yes, Master. Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry to pay it back," Wanhe replied.

"As the saying goes, 'If you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again!' Who knows if I'll still have enough spirit stones when I need you to use your supernatural powers next time? It's never a bad thing to leave room for credit. Besides, I don't like the feeling of being in debt."

"Yes, Master is right," Wanhe said.

"Master, these Zhang siblings are quite influential!"

At this moment, Ah Ying suddenly spoke to Li Mu.

"Oh? Really? You can even gather information about them?" Li Mu blinked in surprise.

"Yes, Master, I can gather relevant information about any living beings and things that I investigate."

"Good heavens! Your supernatural power is truly heaven-defying! Does that mean you can directly read the soul memories of living beings?"

"Hehehe! Master, that's impossible! Reading soul memory information and collecting information are not the same thing! I can only collect some objective information related to them, but I have no way to collect or extract their soul emotions, memories, and subjective thoughts."

Ah Ying explained with a smile.

Although her lisp gave Li Mu a bit of goosebumps, it actually sounded quite nice after a while.

"So that's how it is. Who are Zhang Jie and Zhang Yu?" Li Mu asked.

"They are the children of the sect leader of a powerful sect called Tianyue Star within the Taiyin Sacred Domain of the Three Sacred Stars. They are also the second successors of the Tianyue Sect's sect leader's legacy."

"Uh, really? The young master and young lady of a powerful sect in the Holy Domain are only at the Divine Realm level? To be considered a powerful sect on the Three Holy Stars, the young master and young lady must be at least Venerable Realm experts, if not Heavenly Realm, right?"

Li Mu asked, puzzled.

"What Master said makes a lot of sense! However, these two siblings are among the weakest and most pitiful of the many children of the Heavenly Moon Sect Master," A-Ying said.

"Is the situation rather dire?"

"Yes, because of their weak cultivation and being illegitimate children, they were bullied and despised by the sect leader's other legitimate children. Even their sect leader father looked down on them and basically ignored them. In fact, Zhang Jie and Zhang Yu were born with excellent cultivation aptitude, considered to have the best spiritual roots among the sect leader's children. However, due to jealousy, they were framed by their older siblings when they were young, resulting in their spiritual roots being sealed, which slowed down their cultivation speed. The younger sister, Zhang Yu, had even more heaven-defying aptitude. Even with her spiritual roots sealed, she still showed amazing talent, so those people plotted against her and injured her primordial spirit. The two siblings felt that there was almost no hope in the sect, so they gave up their inheritance rights and left the sect together, wanting to go out and train and grow. But they were really unlucky, and they were captured by the Western Mountain Demoness not long after they left."

"Wow, these siblings have really had a rough life! Where is their mother?" Li Mu asked.

"Their mother died when they were very young. Because their mother was a lowly servant in the sect, of humble status, the sect leader did not give her a formal title, so Zhang Jie and Zhang Yu were considered illegitimate children within the sect," A Ying replied.

"But I didn't see any humility in them. On the contrary, I felt that they possessed a sincerity and integrity that many cultivators lacked. If I can escape their clutches alive this time, I will definitely befriend them," Li Mu said.

"Master, A-Ying is right. I did detect a strange seal in their primordial spirits just now. It must be this seal that sealed their bloodline spiritual roots. This further proves that they are both exceptionally talented! You must know that having one's bloodline spiritual roots sealed is basically cutting off one's path to cultivation, yet these two were still able to cultivate to the Divine Realm, which is incredibly unbelievable. I think this is the fundamental reason why the other successors keep persecuting them. Because their talent is simply too terrifying, posing too great a threat to their right of succession," Wan He said.

"Oh? Are there seals within their primordial spirits? I didn't notice any of that just now!"

"Master's current soul perception is still relatively weak, so it's normal that he can't detect this strange seal. Seals that seal bloodlines and spiritual roots are not uncommon, but to create such a seal that is not easily detected requires extremely high skill. It is usually accomplished through some kind of secret technique. This kind of seal, let alone someone at the Divine Realm, even someone at the Heavenly Realm might not be able to detect it. It is evident that those who dealt with Zhang Jie and his sister went to great lengths and paid a high price," Wan He explained.

"Sigh, the saying 'wealthy families are like a deep sea' is absolutely true. To fight for the right of inheritance, they will even kill their own brothers and sisters. It's truly outrageous," Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, he felt sympathy for Zhang Jie and his sister, but also respect for them.

I admire them for growing up in such a harsh environment, being harmed by wicked people, yet still being able to maintain a sincere, simple, and upright heart, and still retaining a noble and humble temperament. This is truly rare.

Whoohoo!

Seven days later, everyone who had been imprisoned in this spatial artifact was suddenly released.

Li Mu was the last to be arrested, which was probably not so surprising, but everyone else was shocked and terrified.

They were imprisoned for a long time, spending each day in fear of death, but at the same time hoping to see the light of day again.

They want to be released, yet they are also afraid of being released.

Being released might offer a glimmer of hope, but it could also mean certain death.
