Chapter 18: The Astrologer
It's hot...
Su Xiaoxiao woke up suddenly, surrounded by white mist, she found herself in a very large bathtub, her body soaked in a milky white unknown liquid...
The whole bathroom was filled with the smell of medicine, and Su Xiaoxiao stood up in a daze, her undeveloped body was quite barren.
She didn't feel like her familiar body, she felt like she was full of power...
After thinking about it for a while, she gradually remembered what happened before she fell unconscious...
That's right, my anger!
The little guy happily sensed it for a while, and she felt the silky blue [qi] in her body!
"Alright, lie down. There was a sound of opening the door on the side, Qin Xiaotong walked in with a basket of various medicinal herbs, and she showed a reassuring smile when she saw Su Xiaoxiao waking up.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly sat back in the milky white rank liquid, and then she clearly felt that the silky wisps of energy drilled into her body from the scorching liquid.
Qin Xiaotong came to the wooden barrel with a basket that was about the same height as her, and skillfully threw the washed medicinal materials in the basket into the wooden barrel...
"Sister Xiaotong, you won't be going to cook me, are you..."Feeling the temperature of the water getting hotter and hotter, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Qin Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "you, this is the medicinal bath of Guben Peiyuan, something that every martial arts cultivator dreams of, if it weren't for Brother Ling Tian's generosity, I wouldn't have the money to get this for you." ”
"Oh..."The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, although she didn't know what this medicinal bath was, she could clearly sense that her body was being improved by the constant influx of energy.
"Hasn't the teacher come back yet?" Su Xiaoxiao sank into the milky white liquid, revealing a small head outside.
"Brother Ling Tian is here, he won't come back. Qin Xiaotong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Is Brother Ling Tian a bad person, why is the teacher avoiding him?"
Qin Xiaotong was amused by Su Xiaoxiao's question, she reached out and rubbed Su Xiaoxiao's head...
No, the sense of disobedience is so strong... Qin Xiaotong's body shape comparable to Su Xiaoxiao is really not suitable to be a confidant big sister...
"There is no better person in this world than Brother Ling Tian. ”
"Then why is the teacher avoiding him?" Su Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.
"Your teacher did something wrong, but he wasn't ready to take responsibility, so he chose to run away. Qin Xiaotong helped the little girl straighten up her hairstyle. She said as she tidied up.
Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's puzzled eyes, Qin Xiaotong smiled helplessly, she knew that the little girl couldn't understand, but she wasn't ready to explain in detail.
"Okay, okay, you start meditating, only by meditating can you better absorb the medicinal power of this medicinal bath, don't live up to Brother Ling Tian's kindness. ”
"Good..."
Meditation is the foundation of every martial artist, just like meditation is to a mage, the basic knowledge of this has been learned in the classroom of Hanzhu Vocational College before, combined with the exercises taught to her by Jian Lingtian, the little girl quickly mastered the key points of meditation.
She sat cross-legged in the barrel, a blue halo glittering around her in the medicinal-scented bathroom.

Hanzhu City, Chu Family Manor.
The originally peaceful Chu family manor welcomed a very special guest today.
The young patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Hai, and a young man who claimed to be from the imperial capital.
Because the visitors are all young people, the Chu family's side is also responsible for receiving the corresponding young patriarch.
Chu Qiu, low-level [warrior].
[Warrior] is an advanced class of [Warrior], and by the way, [Brave] is the final class of this series.
"I have heard Brother Lu's name for a long time. In the lobby of the Chu family, Chu Qiu said with a smile.
"Where, where..."
"Brother Lu doesn't have to be modest, you are only in your twenties this year, and you have stepped into the realm of high-level warriors, you are a genius that we have not met in Hanzhu City for more than ten years..."
Although Chu Qiu was praising him, there was a real demonic wizard like Sword Ling Tian sitting beside him, so no matter how Lu Hai heard it now, he felt that Chu Qiu was mocking him...
"Brother Chu has a good reputation, I don't dare to be a rare genius in the past ten years..."
"Anyway, what did Brother Lu come to my Chu family for this time?" The greetings were almost over, and Chu Qiu stepped into the topic.
"I have an urgent matter with Mr. Chu Heng. Without saying a word, looking at Chu Qiu and Lu Hai's official greetings for a long time, Jian Ling Tian finally spoke.
Chu Heng is the astrologer of the Chu family. Lu Hai told him before he came.
Chu Qiu was stunned for a moment, the excessively handsome young man in front of him was actually here to find the strangest third grandfather in the house... He didn't expect that. But soon, he reacted, the other party claimed to be from the imperial capital, and at this juncture came to look for the third grandfather who could astrological prophecy, this purpose was too obvious...
"Your Excellency is here for the ashes of the Dark Palace?" Chu Qiu asked.
Jian Ling Tian nodded.
"Your Excellency is disappointed, the third grandfather can't do anything about this matter, and your Excellency must be aware of the astrologer's abilities and limitations!"
Jian Lingtian continued to nodded, astrologers, with the ability of astrological prophecy, this mysterious ability of course has great limitations, astrologers are generally short-lived, that is because astrologers' divination is based on the consumption of their own life force, they steal information from the future, at the cost of their own gradually decaying body.
And this prophetic power, in the things that are prophesied, the older the things, the more powerful the people, the greater the cost of prophesying them.
"The gray curtain is a high-level Shura, and the second grandfather can't predict his location. Chu Qiu said apologetically.
Jian Ling Tian frowned, so far, if he wanted to find the gray curtain, astrologer Chu Heng was the only way. But astrologer is only a low-level profession, if you want to predict the whereabouts of the gray curtain, you must have the advanced profession of astrologer [astrologer], otherwise the backlash of the prophecy is enough to kill Chu Heng.
"What if it's just the approximate location of the prophecy Gray Curtain?" Jian Ling Tian asked.
Chu Qiu shook his head helplessly.
Their Chu family also sent someone to monitor the gray forest that suddenly appeared this morning, so they also knew about the gray curtain coming out of it alive, and they knew it earlier than Lu Hai, at that time, the Chu family moved the heart to catch the gray curtain, after all, such a unique person who came out of the gray forest alive, if it is sold to the empire, the empire will definitely pay a very considerable fee.
So at that time, Chu Heng predicted once, although it was daytime, Chu Heng's astrologer was greatly affected, but he still started astrology with the help of some treasures. It didn't take long for the old man to finish quickly.
Even if Chu Heng reacted quickly and stopped divination in time, his hair was still half white... It is the result of a large amount of life flow in a short period of time.
"I haven't tried, I don't know. Chu Qiu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid the third grandfather won't help you try, the third grandfather's divination was afraid of being counterattacked before..."
