I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

Chapter 62 Qi Observation Technique

Mr. Mingjing was extremely impressed. In the hundreds of thousands of years, among the guests of Wanyu Pavilion, there were very few who had such discerning eyes and good luck as this young master Zirong.

Mr. Mingjing was puzzled. How could the quality of this batch of raw stones be so good? It was possible to extract so many high-quality or even top-grade spiritual jades.

After leaving Wanyu Pavilion, Dugu Xun couldn't help but ask Gu Yan, "How did Zirong know whether there was any spirit jade inside the raw stone?"

Gu Yan honestly replied, "I don't know what's inside."

Dugu Xun asked in confusion, "Then how did you choose? And how did you manage to choose the right one every time?"

"Although I cannot see through what's inside, I can see good or bad fortune," Gu Yan said.

"Good or bad fortune?"

"right."

"I have practiced a technique called Qi Observation. After practicing this technique, one can see the Qi of living beings, objects, heaven and earth, and time and space. Although I am currently in the first stage, which is the initial opening of spiritual eyes, it is still easy for me to observe the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of objects," Gu Yan explained.

"I simply chose the rough stone that looked the most auspicious and festive."

The more auspicious something is, the better it is naturally considered.

However, this Qi Observation Technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Just looking at those raw stones made his head feel swollen.

"The Art of Observing Qi?" Dugu Xun looked intrigued. "I've never heard of such a technique before. Is it unique to your sect?"

Gu Yan said, "I guess so."

"You can see the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of objects, but what about people?" Dugu asked.

"Well, not yet. You need to reach the second level first," Gu Yan said with a smile.

Dugu Xun was slightly disappointed. He smiled and said, "I'll wait until you reach the second realm. Zirong, you have one astonishing skill after another. I'm almost numb with amazement."

Gu Yan smiled but remained silent.

"Let's go, let's explore other parts of Hai City," Dugu Xun said.

Gu Yan nodded.

After staying in Haishi for three days, Gu Yan and Dugu Xun left. News of Gu Yan's astonishing performance at Wanyu Pavilion quickly spread. Before long, everyone in the upper echelons of the Miro Continent knew that the Dugu family had gained another monstrous genius named Dugu Zirong, who, despite having cultivated for less than a thousand years, was already at the late stage of the Spirit King realm.

This boy has an astonishing appearance, unparalleled in the world, and also possesses a pair of divine eyes.

Several days later, inside a giant ship sailing on the sea.

"You want to go home?" Dugu Xun asked Gu Yan.

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, I want to go home. Ideally, I should get there before the New Year, but even if I travel now, day and night, I won't make it back before the New Year unless I use a teleportation array. Brother, may I borrow the Dugu family's teleportation array?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Dugu Xun waved his hand, and a jade slip flew towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's divine sense penetrated the map and she saw a huge map—the entire continent of Miro. The map was marked with teleportation arrays scattered across all nineteen continents. Gu Yan was shocked; even the Ruohe Empire's royal family didn't possess such a vast network of teleportation arrays spanning the entire continent.

No other empire possessed such a vast teleportation network; only the four families and five sects that stood above the twelve empires did.

"Didn't I give you a jade pendant before? With that jade pendant, you can use any teleportation array on this map," Dugu Xun said.

Gu Yan recalled the jade pendant Dugu Xun had given her during their first meeting. Was that jade pendant really that powerful? And what's more, he had actually revealed all the teleportation points of the Dugu family to her—did he trust her that much? Gu Yan was slightly moved.

"Thank you, brother."

Dugu Xun stared at Gu Yan for a few moments, then asked, "What urgent matter do you have that requires you to go back before the New Year?"

"It's not anything urgent, it's just that I always celebrate the New Year with my family," Gu Yan said. He had told his parents that he wouldn't be going back, but for some reason, the closer the New Year got, the more he wanted to go home.

In his past life, he was an orphan picked up by his master. Although his master and uncles treated him very well, he didn't know what it felt like to have parents. Even after living for over six hundred years, he still couldn't understand the bond of blood ties.

In this life, he has parents. They treat him very, very well, and they've actually given him a bit of a chick fetish.

Even if someone is reincarnated with their memories intact, their thought patterns are forced to change after each rebirth. The soul remains the same, but the hardware of the new body is completely different from before, and it doesn't function smoothly at all. This difference is even more pronounced in infancy and childhood.

An underdeveloped brain compels him to do things against his will, which he is unwilling to do and has no way to avoid.

To put it bluntly, he became childish after being reincarnated.

I don't want to bite my fingers, I don't want to make a sharp cry, I don't want to sleep, I don't want to chase the kitten...

The body disagrees.

Although he is eighteen years old and no longer experiences the physical and spiritual disintegration of his childhood self, he is still unable to think as maturely as he did in his previous life.

No matter how much he claims to be a 600-year-old monster, his mental state is still that of a teenager. He despises Su Ningxue and Song Yan as little girls, high school students, and immature, but in reality, he himself is only slightly more mature than them.

Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Dugu Xun burst out laughing: "Zirong really does have the temperament of a child, hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Spiritual masters are like cultivators; they have long lifespans, and the stronger they are, the longer their lifespans become.

Decades or even centuries can pass in a short period of seclusion. Who would care about not spending a New Year with their parents? Only children would care.

Dugu Xun couldn't even remember that it had been hundreds of years since he and his parents celebrated the New Year.

Gu Yan felt uncomfortable with his laughter and said with a straight face, "Is that funny?"

He hates being called a child; he's clearly an old freak.

Seeing that Gu Yan was angry, Dugu Xun stopped laughing, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

Gu Yan glared at him.

The black-haired boy in blue robes straightened his flawless face. His skin, covered in fresh snow, was spotless, and even his glaring eyes resembled a clear lake.

Even though he was glaring at someone, Dugu Xun was stunned for a moment. It turns out that when you like someone, even their angry expression is cute.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore."

Dugu Xun became serious: "I'll take you to the nearest teleportation point."

Above the Yunmeng Sea lies an unremarkable island, unknown to anyone that it is actually a teleportation point for the Dugu family.

Inside the underground palace on this small island, the guards knelt in fear and trepidation, none of them expecting the patriarch to suddenly appear. The patriarch didn't come alone; he brought a young man with him, a young man with a face as perfect as a god.

Which branch of the tribe are these people from?

Her appearance is just too outstanding!

The teleportation arrays of the Youyun Dugu clan are generally only accessible to members of the clan. Even then, not everyone can use them. Many people only know a portion of the teleportation array locations. Only the core clan members can use the entire array.

The Dugu family is large and has many branches, so it's normal that members of one branch don't know members of other branches.
