289: Chapter 289 Someone has broken the [Big Dipper Immortal Formation]!?

A madam, whose face was caked with powder thicker than a shoe sole, walked slowly onto the high stage with a lewd smile, fanning herself with a pink fan!

"Three million Spirit Stones!"

"Four million Spirit Stones!"

"..."

At the Laundry Pond in the backyard of Yixiang Courtyard, an Old Man with snow-white hair and beard held a basin of undergarments belonging to Young Maidens. His eyes bulged, bloodshot with worm-like veins, and his body trembled slightly with excitement!

"Hehehe... That's right! This is the aura of the mortal world!"

"Hey, Old Man Tianshu, what are you snickering about?"

A stunning woman dressed in a purple gauze dress walked in slowly, swaying her hips.

"You're already so old, yet you insisted on coming to our Yixiang Courtyard to wash clothes. Don't say I'm bullying you!"

"No bullying, no bullying... I wanted to come myself to find the mortal aura... What a wonderful mortal aura this is!"

The Old Man buried his head deep into the basin of freshly changed undergarments, a look of intoxication on his face as he took a deep breath!

"Uh... why is it so smelly!?"

The Old Man's pupils suddenly constricted, his body shook violently, his eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he fainted on the spot!

Plop!

With a crisp splash, the Old Man fell headfirst into the Laundry Pond!

"Ah! Someone help! A man's dying, come quickly!"

The woman in the purple dress's expression changed drastically. Her bell-like screams rang out as she shook her slender waist and ran toward the inner courtyard of Yixiang Courtyard.

The Old Man floated on the surface of the Laundry Pond like a corpse!

Suddenly!

The Old Man's tightly closed eyes snapped open!

"Someone is breaking the Big Dipper Immortal Formation!?"

The Old Man's muscles tensed, and he instantly transformed into a white light, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm as he charged toward the Demon Wind Sect's protective formation!

Demon Wind Sect Inner City, South Gate.

The crowds were bustling, flowing continuously through the streets of the South Gate like a river!

The cries of street vendors, the bargaining of merchants, the bell-like laughter of Young Maidens, and the playful shouts of children intertwined, echoing back and forth across the South Gate streets!

An Old Man with white hair and beard, wearing a white Daoist robe, stroked his snowy beard as he sat before a simple wooden table!

An Ancient Bagua Map lay on the table. Next to it was a bamboo stick with a celestial-white cloth strip tied to the top, fluttering in the wind. On the cloth, written in wild cursive ink, were the words: 'Calculating Life and Death, Predicting the Next Life'!

A Child sucked on his finger, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. "Drip! Drip!" It hit the ground, splashing like tiny flowers!

The Child clutched two Spirit Stones tightly in his hand as he walked slowly toward the Old Man in the Daoist robe!

The Old Man in the Daoist robe was filled with wild joy, his lips curling into a slight upward arc, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth!

'Hehe... See? Hasn't business come knocking?'

'It seems the legendary mortal aura isn't that hard to earn!'

"Calculating heaven and earth, predicting this life and the next. Three Spirit Stones per reading, fair prices for all!"

"Excuse me, how much is a stick of candied haws?"

"Candied haws? What candied haw..."

The Child's eyes were fixed on the nearby candied haw stall as if hooked. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed his saliva and asked unclearly.

"Old Man, I was wondering earlier, who would come to you for a reading?"

"Turns out he's here to buy my candied haws?"

"Hehe... sorry about that!"

A man in his forties, wearing a plain white robe, pulled down a stick of candied haws with a smirk, revealing his white teeth.

"Five Spirit Stones a stick. These are made from top-quality spirit fruits and coated with honey from Foundation Establishment Realm Golden-Winged Bees!"

"One bite and the sweetness of the honey and spirit fruit melts in your mouth..."

"I only have two Spirit Stones, can you sell..."

"Hmm? Two Spirit Stones? Of course not! These are premium candied haws; two Spirit Stones wouldn't even cover the cost!"

The Child deflated like a punctured balloon!

The Old Man in the Daoist robe stroked his beard and looked up at the Child.

"Child, do you only have two Spirit Stones?"

"Mother only gave me two..."

"Give those two Spirit Stones to me, and I'll give you a reading to see how you can get endless candied haws. How about it?"

"Is that really possible?"

"Fair prices for all, of course it's true!"

Clang!

With the sound of metal clashing, the Child threw his only two Spirit Stones into the Treasure Gathering Basin on the table!

The Old Man in the Daoist robe quickly formed hand seals!

Hum!

A metallic vibration suddenly rang out as the Treasure Gathering Basin flew into the Void Realm, spinning rapidly and emitting a celestial-white glow!

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Accompanied by the crisp sound of glass clinking, the Treasure Gathering Basin became crammed with Spirit Stones. They began to overflow, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground!

The back of the old Daoist's hand was instantly covered in worm-like veins as his withered palm clenched tightly in the air!

The Treasure Gathering Basin turned into a golden light, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm before being caught by the Old Man and slammed onto the table!

"Child, these Spirit Stones should be enough for you to buy endless candied haws..."

"Hmm? Someone is actually breaking the formation!?"

The Old Man's expression changed instantly, his pupils shrinking as he looked up into the Void Realm above the Demon Wind Sect!

Suddenly!

The Old Man in the Daoist robe exerted force with his feet, transforming into a white light and leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm as he flew toward the Demon Wind Sect's protective formation!

Demon Wind Sect, Spirit Beast Ward.

A young man in a plain white robe and an Old Man in a celestial robe walked slowly into a Spirit Beast Room.

"Daoist, this Ben Xuan Spirit Horse has been bloated for months and can't eat any Spiritual Plants. If this continues, I'm afraid..."
