I Have an Omen System

The Blood Marrow Life Pill emanated a tempting Blood Qi.

Qin Xuan fell into deep thought.

'Two paths lie before me: stay in the Holy Sect and attempt Core Formation in one of the four traditional Blessed Lands, or journey to the Northern Border's Ten Thousand Fire Mountain Range and use the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land...'

As for going to the Cyan Cloud Sect, Qin Xuan always felt that the Venerable was trying to screw him over!

Just then.

A bloody light flashed within his sea of consciousness, and the long-dormant Giant Spirit Blood Demon True Spirit slowly began to awaken.

"Kid, I sense that the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land will open in half a month..."

The Giant Spirit Blood Demon slowly coalesced, its voice tinged with temptation.

"My source mark from when I achieved my own Core Formation is still there. If you obtain it, the condensation of your Golden Core is guaranteed to..."

Before it could finish speaking, the Cyan-robed Little Daoist Child appeared out of thin air.

It swung its fist down.

"You old coot, scheming again! You're asking for a beating!"

"OUCH... Mercy, young master!"

The Blood Demon True Spirit scurried away, covering its head, and instantly became docile.

Qin Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

He was now at the Purple Mansion Ninth Level. If he wanted to condense a Perfect Golden Core, staying in the Holy Sect was the safe option, but it would be difficult to achieve true perfection.

As he was weighing his options, the ball of light in his sea of consciousness suddenly brightened, and four Divinations appeared.

[Top-Top Lottery: Go to the Cyan Cloud Sect. In one year, enter the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm with Ye Qingxuan, obtain the remains of a Divinity Transformation expert, and receive a Third-Grade Opportunity. Great Fortune.]

[Middle-Upper Draw: In five years, use the Blood Demon's legacy to enter the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land after the fire poison has dissipated. Good Fortune.]

[Middle-Lower Draw: Attempt Core Formation in the Holy Sect, be plotted against by Lu Hanzhou, and fail. Misfortune.]

[The Worst Draw: Forcibly enter the Blessed Land in half a month. The Earth Veins will erupt, fire poison will rage, and you will have but one chance in ten to survive. Great Misfortune!]

???

Qin Xuan was stunned, his eyes widening.

'You damned Xiong Kaishan, how dare you try to fool me?'

The Blessed Land would open in half a month, that was true, but the Divination said the fire poison wouldn't dissipate for another five years.

'He's clearly still up to no good!'

"Lord Huang, hit him! Beat that old coot 'til he's smoking!" Qin Xuan said angrily.

The Giant Spirit Blood Demon wailed, "I... I was just sensing the Earth Veins..."

"Shut up."

A smile played on Qin Xuan's lips.

'Chu Cangzhen, you've always wanted to plot against me, haven't you? This time, we'll see who out-schemes who.'

...

The next day, Qin Xuan summoned Zhao Youliang.

"I am going into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm. Refuse all visitors during this time, especially Master Chu."

"As you command!" Zhao Youliang had no reason to doubt him.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan secretly instructed Gan Tang.

"Junior Sister Gan, have someone keep an eye on the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land. If there's any unusual activity, report to me immediately."

Gan Tang agreed in a soft voice, "Alright."

When Chu Cangzhen visited again, he found the grand arrays of the Huai Heavy Industry Company fully activated, with demonic light swirling about.

And inside the Cave Mansion, Qin Xuan had already crushed the Jade Talisman given to him by Ye Qingxuan. A clear ray of light silently flew out of the Holy Sect, speeding away towards the Cyan Cloud Sect.

...

「Cyan Cloud Sect, Liuyun Peak.」

Ye Qingxuan was feeling slightly flustered by Xiao Min'Er's words.

A blazing streak of fiery light broke through the clouds and, as if it were Spiritual, landed precisely in her delicate hand.

It was the Ten Thousand Miles Echo Talisman sent by Qin Xuan.

'Miss Xuan'Er wrote back!'

Ye Qingxuan's face lit up with joy as she eagerly took the Communication Jade Token.

A lifelike illusion of Qin Xuan'Er materialized from the Talisman, and her cool yet gentle voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I have received your message. Seeing these words feels like we are face to face. Some time ago, while searching for an old friend, I ventured deep into some ancient ruins and was trapped by an Array. I only recently escaped, which is why my reply is so late. Please forgive the delay... It has been two years since we parted. I wonder, does your grace shine even brighter than it did in the past?"

"I am honored to participate in the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm trial. Xuan'Er is immensely grateful and will certainly arrive as scheduled..."

"I miss you dearly. I look forward to our reunion. —Xuan'Er."

Qin Xuan's words were concise and to the point, yet that single phrase, "I miss you dearly," was like a stone tossed into a calm lake, sending ripples spreading through Ye Qingxuan's heart.

Her previously furrowed brow instantly relaxed, and a radiant smile blossomed across Ye Qingxuan's exquisitely beautiful face.

It was like the first thaw of winter snow, like spring flowers bursting into bloom. Even the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to become a little more cheerful.

'She's alright... She's coming soon.'

A captivating smile graced Ye Qingxuan's lips. Her eyes curved into crescents, her gaze flowing, filled with a tenderness as gentle as water.

Standing to the side, Xiao Min'Er took in every detail of Ye Qingxuan's radiant smile. The grin on her own pretty face froze, and a flash of intense jealousy flickered deep within her eyes.

'Senior Sister Ye is as aloof as a celestial. When has she ever shown such an expression to anyone else?'

Xiao Min'Er sneered inwardly.

'It seems this Miss Xuan'Er really has some incredible means, to be able to make Senior Sister this happy.'

'No way. Senior Sister Ye is mine!'

'I don't care who you are. If you dare to steal Senior Sister from me... you have to disappear!'

Xiao Min'Er ground her teeth, mentally dismembering Qin Xuan into a thousand pieces, but her face was plastered with a saccharine smile.

"Senior Sister, when this Miss Qin arrives, you have to give Min'er a proper introduction, won't you? I want to see with my own eyes... just what kind of peerless beauty could make our Cyan Cloud Sect's pristine ice lotus so completely smitten and unable to forget her."

Still immersed in her joy, Ye Qingxuan didn't notice the madness deep in Xiao Min'Er's eyes and just habitually rubbed her hair bun.

"Min'er, don't be mischievous. Miss Xuan'Er will be a guest, so you'll need to be on your best behavior."

Concealing the killing intent in her eyes, Xiao Min'Er replied sweetly, "I know, Senior Sister!"

Just then, Ye Qingxuan's Daoist Token suddenly lit up.

'What...? The Sect has a sudden mission for me?'

Ye Qingxuan's fine brows knitted together.

She had been planning to go down the mountain personally to welcome Qin Xuan'Er, but it seemed she would be delayed now.

"Yes, Lady Daoist. The Sect Leader has ordered you to proceed immediately to the Demon Suppression Hall to assist in taking inventory of a newly confiscated batch of Demon Artifacts. The matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed."

The Cyan Cloud Sect disciple responsible for relaying the order replied respectfully.

With a sigh of resignation, Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, then her gaze landed on Xiao Min'Er, who was fiddling with a stalk of Spirit Grass to the side.

"Min'er."

"Hmm? What is it, Senior Sister?" Xiao Min'Er looked up, an innocent and carefree smile on her face.
