Chapter 250 - 233: Implementing a Clever Plan to Achieve Great Success
It is said that Guanyin had imparted to Yuan Shoucheng the techniques of divination and, with her great magical power, bestowed spiritual wisdom upon him.
The next day, Yuan Shoucheng was in the divination hall performing divinations for people, and his interpretations were invariably accurate. Moreover, as Yuan Shoucheng was the uncle of Yuan Tiangang and the Yuan Family possessed extraordinary talent in divination, Yuan Tiangang held the prestigious position of head of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in the Tang Dynasty, which made Yuan Shoucheng instantly famous.
He advised some fishermen on exactly where to cast their nets, and as a result, hundreds of fish were caught in a single haul. Consequently, the people of the Aquatic Tribes under the Jing River Dragon King suffered greatly.

"Great King, a grave matter has arisen!"
"Why fuss over minor matters, what’s so grave?" the Jing River Dragon King replied with displeasure, feeling his subordinate was overly alarmed.
Then this person reported to him about Yuan Shoucheng’s divinations for the fishermen. Upon hearing this, the Jing River Dragon King, enraged, said, "If this man continues to divinate, will not all my Aquatic Tribes be preyed upon by those fishermen?"
"Exactly, Great King, please think of something quickly!"
The Jing River Dragon King then said, "Come, follow me to Chang’an City, let’s go to his divination hall and see what kind of Taoist strength this man has that he can harm my Aquatic Tribes."
