"If the old gentleman wishes to discuss philosophy, I am afraid I cannot accompany him today due to my busy schedule. Therefore, I suggest that the old gentleman go to the Department of Apostolic Reconstruction or other cultural research departments."
Bai Zhi still remembered that Jing Yuan had asked her to rehearse the coronation ceremony.
"Haha, there's no need for that. I've already assessed your abilities, young friend. I've come today to ask you what your views are on the concept of a balanced destiny."
The old man stroked his beard and asked.
"Balance, I think it's a very interesting destiny. Balance exists between all things. This sentence can summarize this destiny very well. It is an omnipresent force."
"Perhaps in terms of breadth, a balanced destiny is one of the best."
Bai Zhi thought about it carefully and then answered.
"How does it compare to a hunting trip?"
"Cough cough."
A dry cough sounded, and the patrolman appeared beside the old man at some point, his eyes seemingly filled with displeasure.
"You guy!"
Yanqing was also somewhat dissatisfied. Baizhi was the messenger of the Emperor's Bow Master, bestowing blessings. What nonsense was this old man spouting?
Bai Zhi waved her hand to stop Yan Qing, "The old gentleman and I were just discussing something, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Old sir, the path of the Hunting Fate is indeed narrower compared to the Balanced path, and Emperor Bow Fate is also a young Star God. However, at the same time, the Immortal Ship is also deeply protected by Emperor Bow Fate."
"As a member of the Immortal Ship, I naturally love the Journey of Hunting Destiny."
She answered seriously.
The Immortal Ship's current status in the universe is largely thanks to the Emperor Bow Master of Fate. For example, the energy of a large number of cave heavens comes from the power supply of the hunting path.
She also enjoyed these benefits.
For some reason, after saying those words, Bai Zhi seemed to see the inspector from the Earth Balance Division look at her with a sense of satisfaction.
But the next second, the other person's expression was the same as before, like a poker face.
The old man was somewhat surprised by Bai Zhi's answer.
Let's call Chapter 960 the Tai Chi Diagram.
The old man stroked his beard. "Young friend's answer... is quite interesting."
"Old man, this is only natural. After all, Xianzhou is my hometown. Isn't it only right to have this attitude towards the hunting route?"
"Haha, that's true. I was just being presumptuous. As payment for our conversation, I'll give this to you."
As the old man spoke, he pulled out something that looked like a scroll from his pocket.
“Old man, there’s no need for that. You are a practitioner of balancing destiny, aren’t you? In fact, we on the Luofu Immortal Ship also have quite a few believers in balancing destiny. You can go and have a chat with them.”
The old man shook his head slightly. "I know this, but you have won my heart, young friend. This item is not valuable; it is just a little trinket that I made myself, which is based on some mythological prototypes from a planet called Earth. I will leave it to you as a souvenir."
After saying that, the old man ignored what Bai Zhi wanted to say and stuffed the scroll-like thing directly into Bai Zhi's hand.
"Old sir?"
Bai Zhi lowered her head to look at the scroll, then looked up again, but the old man who had just been there suddenly disappeared.
Even the swift and elusive Inspector of the Earthly Balance Division vanished without a trace.
"Yanqing, did you see where those two people went?"
Yanqing was also stunned for a moment, scratching her head in confusion, "Teacher Baizhi, I don't know either. It seems like the other person disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Bai Zhi touched her chin. "Never mind, let's leave it at that."
There are too many strange things in this world. If the other party has no impact on anything, it is often meaningless to delve into them.
However, this scroll in my hand...
Bai Zhi curiously unfolded the scroll, which looked quite like a fairy boat and had an antique feel to it.
There are no particularly daring images or dense text on this scroll.
On the contrary, the image on this thing is very simple, just a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.
But this simple pattern conveys a subtle sense of balance. Staring at it is as if one is being immersed in the omnipresent concept of yin and yang balance.
This thing is probably some kind of strange object?
"What did that old man say again?"
“Teacher Baizhi, the old man said before that he created this picture himself, using the mythology of a planet called Earth as a prototype. I remember that one of our contestants this time, named Zhanlang, is from Earth. This thing may be based on the mythology of their planet.”
Yanqing thought about it carefully, and then answered seriously.
"Something made based on Earth mythology..."
Bai Zhi looked at the scroll engraved with the Tai Chi Bagua diagram and said, "Then let's call it the Tai Chi Diagram."
Bai Zhi felt that the old man might be the envoy of balance.
As for why she approached him, it's probably because she truly has the talent to balance one's destiny.
She was quite confident about this.
Her talent was so great that even Lao Tzu himself would praise it.
"But why didn't the God of Balance come to me? Is my talent not good enough for the God of Balance?"
Bai Zhi scratched her head. Several Star Gods had already come to her, but she didn't seem to have met the Balance Star God yet.
Could it be that he was distracted too much and didn't pay attention during the lessons at the Tushita Palace?
"Teacher Bai Zhi, should I go and investigate the old man's identity?"
"No, don't pay attention to that old man."
Bai Zhi shook her head. The person who could leave so quietly in front of her was no ordinary person; at the very least, he must be a messenger who had gone very far in his life.
There's no need to cause trouble for the Immortal Ship over something like this.
Bai Zhi closed the scroll, and then golden ripples appeared around her, as if she were trying to throw the thing directly into it.
But to Bai Zhi's surprise, this thing seemed to be resisting being sucked in.
She grabbed the Tai Chi diagram and tried to force it in, but the resistance was surprisingly strong.
Bai Zhi frowned, and had no choice but to abandon the idea. Instead, she prepared to put the thing in the room.
Otherwise, she couldn't possibly keep holding such a scroll in her hand all the time.
So, are we not going to do anything else?
As she turned and opened the door, the thing seemed to know her thoughts, and in a burst of light, it transformed into a small scroll-shaped pendant that hung on her clothes.
Angelica dahurica: ...
Alright, since she's so sensible, she won't put it anywhere else.
After all, this thing should be a pretty good oddity.
Before she had walked more than a few steps, Bai Zhi bumped into a group of people, who were acquaintances.
"Lady Baizhi, do you have time? Um... it's time for the transformation of the Dagger into the Vidyadhara."
That's right, this group of people were the Dragon Masters. As soon as they saw Bai Zhi, they immediately switched from their imposing demeanor to a fawning expression.
"Is it time yet?"
"Yes, we actually arrived a few days ago, but Luofu was in chaos at that time, and you were the main force in the battle, so we naturally couldn't tell you about it then."
"Yeah."
Bai Zhi remained noncommittal. "Logically speaking, every enlightened being I convert should be personally examined by me. But since I've delegated this authority to you, you should know how to properly screen them, right?"
"I understand, I understand."
A Dragon Master immediately stepped forward, saying, “Every being you are about to transform into a Vidyadhara will regard you as the sun. If you say one, they will never say another. Moreover, a large portion of their wealth will be transferred to your name.”
Bai Zhi looked the dragon master who had stepped forward up and down, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a while, she finally managed to find a vague impression from the corner of her memory.
"You're that Qiu from last time..."
"Lady Baizhi, I am Longshi Qiushuang. It is an honor that you remember my name."
"Ah, yes, Qiu Shuang, I remember you."
Bai Zhi nodded. This guy was the one who had voluntarily joined her during the Long Shi Tao Ran incident. He was a loyal and capable person.
"Those who were converted all came to Luofu, right?"
"Yes, they are all waiting for your inspection."
"Hmm... then I'll go with you first."
Bai Zhi thought about it and figured that going to the Shence Mansion was just to rehearse the coronation ceremony, so it wasn't in a particularly urgent situation.
Let's convert these people into the Vidyadharas first.
"Thanks you!!"
Qiu Shuang and the other dragon masters' eyes lit up.
This time, it wasn't just the wealthy and top-notch technical talents who came, but also the spouses of other Immortal Boat Dragon Masters.
Many of these couples are not long-lived; if this continues, they will all die of old age.
Chapter 961 Why does this person smell of plum blossoms?
"Lady Baizhi, these are the candidates who need to be transformed."
The dragon masters led Bai Zhi to a property owned by the Vidyadhara clan.
Here, a large number of people, some dressed in fine clothes, others exuding erudition, and still others with white hair, gathered, making the scene somewhat noisy.
"Everyone, Lady Bai Zhi has arrived!"
Long Shi Qiushuang entered through the door and spoke softly. Although her voice was not loud, the originally noisy venue immediately quieted down.
At the same time, everyone's attention was drawn to Bai Zhi.
Then they all started clapping in unison. Bai Zhi noticed there seemed to be other actions, so she quickly said:
"There's no need for such extravagance. Let's not waste time and take it one at a time."
"Cough cough."
Long Shi Qiushuang immediately waved to the group, signaling them to break free from their fervent emotions.
"Let's start with you."
Bai Zhi casually pointed to someone who looked like a scholar.
“Mr. Matt, come up here quickly. You’re really lucky to be the first one to be converted.”
The Dragon Master, who recommended this scholar to come here, hurriedly called out.
"Good good."
The Matt scholar immediately came up excitedly.
Bai Zhi looked the scholar named Matt up and down. "Sir, where are you from, and what are your achievements?"
“I come from a distant edge planet, on planet JKL in the H967 Nebula. I am currently a member of the Erudite Society, and I have received three senior awards from the Society. I currently hold five doctoral degrees.”
"This is my project resume, please take a look."
The scholar seemed to have been prepared, as he pulled a portable tablet out of his pocket.
After taking it, Bai Zhi glanced at it. She didn't know if those projects were real or not, but those degrees should be genuine. This did provide the Chiming Clan with a good talent.
“Very good, then congratulations, Mr. Matt, you will become a member of the Vidyadhara Clan.”
Bai Zhi handed the tablet back to Matt, then gently tapped him.
Suddenly, flames scorched his body.
"Ahhhhh!!"
