Chapter 2149: Chapter 2416: The Whereabouts
Ren Feifan and the Dragon Girl followed the Bai Family elder’s instructions and arrived at a residence.
But upon seeing the scene in front of them, the two were stunned!
A long queue had formed inside the residence!
Crucially, there were even people maintaining order!
This reminded Ren Feifan of those tea shops bustling with crowds in the mundane world!
“With so many people, could they all be plants?” Ren Feifan said lightly.
The Dragon Girl glanced around and, seeing all the people, frowned and said, “Brother Feifan, how long will this take? Didn’t they say Master Gua is very demanding? Why is there still such a crowd?
Or is this guy a hack, deliberately pretending to be really amazing by arranging so many people?”
Ren Feifan and the Dragon Girl’s jests were quickly overheard by those ahead of them.
A man turned around and glanced at them, slightly taken aback.
There were many cultivators coming to the Saint Mountain, but it was his first time seeing someone bring a child.
The man saw that Ren Feifan didn’t seem like a bad person, so he quietly said, “Brother, speak lightly to your child, Master Gua’s temperament isn’t good. If you offend him, you can forget about getting by on Saint Mountain.”
“Moreover, everyone in this queue is genuine; Master Gua’s abilities don’t need any pretense.”
Ren Feifan was taken aback and curiously asked, “Is everyone here seeking someone?”
The man chuckled, “You think Master Gua only has the ability to find people? Grossly mistaken! Master Gua can also predict fortune and calamity, even foresee the scope of your life. Not just that, his connections are unparalleled; many come to request his services!”
“For any matter, as long as Master Gua nods, it can be accomplished! Do you still think this line is long?
I came a few days ago too, and today is the least crowded!”
Ren Feifan and the Dragon Girl exchanged a helpless glance.
The man, perhaps bored, began to chat with Ren Feifan and others, even extending his hand for a self-introduction, “Brother, I’m Gu Jun, been on Saint Mountain for three years, how about you?”
Ren Feifan nodded and replied, “Ren Feifan, just arrived.”
Gu Jun was slightly surprised hearing he had just arrived, “Brother Ren, you just got here and didn’t spend a year in the mines? Your Pilgrimage Order must not be a low level. I’m so annoyed just thinking about it! I originally came to Saint Mountain seeking opportunities, but ended up mining for a whole year, it infuriates me! I never had to suffer such indignity in the Hidden Gate!”
Ren Feifan smiled without replying.
Casually chatting with Gu Jun,
though this person had limited perspective, he knew a lot about Saint Mountain after staying there for three years.
From him, Ren Feifan gleaned some general knowledge about matters on Saint Mountain.
As they chatted, the line slowly moved forward.
Just as it was nearly Gu Jun and Ren Feifan’s turn, an elder in brocade robes came out, waving his hand to Gu Jun and those behind him, “Master Duo’s slots are filled for today, come back tomorrow!”
Ren Feifan’s face changed slightly. After lining up for hours, they were told it’s over?
If they had to come again tomorrow, wouldn’t they have to line up again, all for nothing?
Gu Jun seemed to have experienced this more than once, shook his head in resignation and headed out, saying to Ren Feifan, “Brother Ren, this is Master Gua’s usual temperament, closing times are uncertain, completely based on his mood. Let’s go, try to come earlier tomorrow.”
Tomorrow?
Wait until tomorrow?
Ren Feifan did not wish to delay too long on Saint Mountain, so he addressed the brocade-robed elder, “I have urgent matters with Master Gua, can we have an exception!”
That elder glanced at Ren Feifan, sneering, “Exception? Master Gua has his plans, what good is my exception! And who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like this?”
The elder was obviously a sycophant!
He might have to be humble as the servant of Master Gua, but naturally, he had the upper hand when dealing with those coming to seek Master Gua.
This is what one calls ‘a dog relying on its master’s power’!
Ren Feifan’s eyes turned icy as he remembered something, then took out a Pilgrimage Order from the Bai Family!
“Is this Pilgrimage Order enough?”
The elder in brocade initially intended to drive Ren Feifan away by force, but the moment the Pilgrimage Order appeared, his murky eyes narrowed slightly!
Because this Token was from the Bai Family!
And a Ground Level Token at that!
Anyone with a Ground Level Token on Saint Mountain would not have a trivial status!
Gu Jun naturally also saw the Pilgrimage Order in Ren Feifan’s hand.
“Hiss!”
He drew in a breath sharply, his heart immensely shocked!
Originally, he thought the Pilgrimage Order in Ren Feifan’s hand was at most a Profound Level!
Yet it turned out to be a Ground Level!
And from the Bai Family on top of that!
Damn, what is this kid’s background?
He just bragged about so much in front of Ren Feifan, obviously, all that boasting had backfired!
Gu Jun blushed with an embarrassed face and swiftly slipped away.
Although Ren Feifan is not someone unreasonable, he couldn’t bear to stay there any longer.
The elder in brocade awoke, cupped his hands and said, “Sir, I deeply apologize, I didn’t recognize your status. It’s my lack of insight.”
Ren Feifan didn’t want to waste words with the elder in front of him, “Can you inquire with Master Gua for me?”
“Sure, sure, let me ask. If Master Gua agrees, I’ll invite you in.”
“Then sir, please wait outside for a moment.”
Said the elder in brocade respectfully, before swiftly heading inside.
Ren Feifan glanced at the Pilgrimage Order in his hand, muttering, “The Pilgrimage Order Bai Ling gave me is truly valuable, could this Token belong to her?”
From the reaction of those around, this Ground Level Pilgrimage Order was extremely rare.
Even the Bai Family shouldn’t have too many of them.
Shortly after, the elder in brocade came out, body bent, making a gesture for Ren Feifan to proceed, “Sir, Master Gua has agreed, please follow me.”
“Alright.”
Ren Feifan and the Dragon Girl followed the elder inside.
Passing through a bamboo grove and garden, they arrived at a secluded house.
The door of the house was ajar.
The elder in brocade said, “I won’t be going in, please enter yourself, Master Gua is inside.”
Ren Feifan nodded and entered with the Dragon Girl.
As they pushed open the door, an intense aura of restriction struck, a hint of surprise flashed in Ren Feifan’s eyes.
This Formation was surprisingly a level nine Formation!
In the Hidden Gate, few could establish a level nine Formation.
Ren Feifan presumed that with just a thought from the person inside, this Formation could turn into an ancient killing array!
Entering the house, Ren Feifan and the Dragon Girl saw an elder with a goatee, dressed in coarse cloth, his face full of wrinkles, and a deep scar across his forehead.
The person had his eyes closed, lips trembling slightly, seemingly chanting something.
Ren Feifan understood this must be the renowned Master Gua.
“Sit down,” an elder’s voice sounded, yet full of vigor.
The voice seemed to possess a magical power, resonating throughout the room.
