The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

"As for your fiancée, although her internal blessings are greater than those of ordinary people, they are not enough to support her practice of divination."

“Everything in the world has a price.”

"The way of divination is to overlook all living beings in the world, observe the past, present and future, and to discern the secrets of heaven."

"Every divination has a price, and it will consume your blessings. If you are not a person with deep blessings, practicing the way of divination will surely lead to heaven's punishment, and you will die ten times out of ten."

After explaining this, Pei Xuanxi immediately looked at Wang Shishi.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing Pei Xuanxi looking at her, Wang Shishi's heart tightened and she nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice.

"understand."

"I know, Master Imperial Master."

Because the purpose of this trip was to worship Pei Xuanxi as a teacher, Su An told them these things in advance in the carriage.

In the final analysis, the way of divination is a path with both high returns and risks compared to formations, alchemy, talismans, and beast taming.

But because there is Pei Xuanxi, a teacher who is proficient in divination and can help disciples avoid many taboos, the risk of following her in practice will be much lower, while the benefits will still be very high.

After all, the art of divination was Bai Yujing's secret before. It held a high position among all the arts and was likely to be the best.

Whether it is Zhou Qingyu or Pei Xuanxi, if there is a chance to practice the art of divination, they don't want to miss it.

"Su An asked me to check whether your aptitude meets the standard for practicing in the Imperial Observatory."

"At present, you already have the basic conditions to practice the way of divination."

Pei Xuanxi's face was calm and he said lightly.

"But at your age, why have you only just entered the second realm?"

Wang Shishi entered the second realm a few days before her seventeenth birthday.

Zhou Qingyu is a few months older than Wang Shishi and is now at the peak of the second realm.

Even Su Wan, who is younger than her, has already reached the late second realm.

A seventeen-year-old cultivator of the second realm is already considered to be at an upper-middle level overall.

But in Pei Xuanxi's opinion, this level can only be regarded as mediocrity.

He did not meet her standards for accepting a disciple.

Hearing this, Wang Shishi felt ashamed. She sat beside the tea table, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful.

Just like a student who is approaching exam week and regrets why he doesn’t study more during the day.

"That's right, it's not because she lacks talent..."

Su An roughly explained Wang Shishi's situation to Pei Xuanxi.

Hearing this, Pei Xuanxi frowned slightly.

He has good talent and great understanding, but is lazy.

In fact, many times, laziness makes it more difficult for a person to achieve anything than mediocrity.

Xie Yun, who Pei Heixi often said was not doing his job properly, always completed the homework assigned by Pei Xuanxi meticulously, and was also very diligent in practicing the art of divination.

And Wang Shishi actually did things like wasting time by reading storybooks and sleeping in class.

This is something Pei Xuanxi cannot accept.

Pei Xuanxi was able to advance to the ninth realm before she was a hundred years old. She was quite diligent and rigorous in studying the art.

Su An was very willing to meet her requirements in this regard. Whenever he was in the position of Marquis of Shenwei, he would basically stay in the study, studying the classics of Taoism, and often stay there for a whole day.

To be honest, Wang Shishi, as a disciple, does not meet Pei Xuanxi's standards for accepting a disciple at all.

However, when his eyes fell on Su An, Pei Xuanxi remembered what happened in the morning.

Finally, Pei Xuanxi nodded, looked at Wang Shishi and said.

"You will practice with me for a while. If you can change your lazy nature and study hard, you can stay."

Wang Shishi herself felt that she was too lazy in the past and was not qualified to be the Imperial Master's disciple. She was ready to be rejected, but she did not expect such a sudden turn of events. She nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, Master Imperial Master, I will definitely follow your instructions!"

Last month, she practiced at the Guanwenxue Palace. Under Su An's encouragement, she actually worked quite hard, otherwise she would not have reached the second level.

However, the Imperial Master actually agreed to let her practice in the Imperial Observatory, although he only kept her by his side to observe.

Wang Shishi realized that this must be related to Su An.

What kind of relationship does Brother Su An have with the Imperial Master that makes the Imperial Master love him so much?

Wang Shishi was both confused and curious.

The matter related to Wang Shishi was settled, Pei Xuanxi looked at Zhou Qingyu again and said.

"You have great talent and good comprehension, but you don't have enough luck, so you are not suitable for practicing the art of divination."

"In addition, as the heir of the Xuanyinqin, it is not suitable for you to leave the way of music and practice formations with me. Therefore, you are not suitable to become my disciple."

Pei Xuanxi is best at divination and formations.

Basically, in these two aspects, she has stood at the top of the continent.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu's pretty face showed a little sadness, and she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"However, if you have any doubts about your usual practice of the art, you can come to the Imperial Observatory and I will give you some pointers."

Pei Xuanxi said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu's face turned happy, and he quickly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Imperial Master."

She had the same doubts as Wang Shishi.

What kind of relationship does her fiancé have with the Imperial Master that the Imperial Master is willing to promise to guide her?

Su An explained Zhou Qingyu's current situation to Pei Xuanxi.

He did not practice the art of music, but instead focused on cultivating the magic of thunder and fire.

“Putting the cart before the horse.”

After listening, Pei Xuanxi shook his head.

"Haoran Qi was created to deal with evil things."

"Among the music techniques passed down in the Xuanyin Qin, there is a piece called "The Great Music of Heaven and Earth."

"Playing this song can use the great energy to form a killing move against evil spirits. At that time, the pure energy will rush into the sky, and its killing power against evil spirits is not inferior to the most advanced lightning magic."

"It's just that the way of music is difficult to get started. When you first start practicing, you need to be patient and calm down."

Pei Xuanxi said to Zhou Qingyu.

"Since you have been recognized by Xuanyinqin, it means that your understanding and talent in the way of music must be outstanding. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to go very far in the way of music."

"Now that you have given up the way of rhythm and practiced the magic of thunder and fire, the killing power of the magic of thunder and fire in a short period of time can indeed meet your needs and expectations."

"But as your cultivation becomes more advanced, you will feel overwhelmed."

"No matter how strong you are now, you can only kill some low-level evil creatures and evil cultivators."

“But the way of rhythm is the ladder for you to advance to the upper three realms. It will allow you to have the possibility of suppressing evil creatures and evil cultivators in the upper three realms in the future.”

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyu was silent for a long time.

Finally, she let out a long breath and nodded.

"I understand, Master National Preceptor."

Indeed, she is now practicing thunder and fire magic. What’s the point of killing more evil creatures and evil cultivators in the lower three realms?

There is no way to kill all these things.

As Haoran’s “qin”.

The royal envoys, the evil cultivators in the middle three realms, and even the Shadow Shao Siming and the King of Soul Silence should be her targets.

"Besides that, not all Haoran members are suitable to join the Evil Suppression Division."

Pei Xuanxi said calmly.

"To practice the way of music, one needs to be calm and at peace, and devote oneself to it wholeheartedly."

"As for the Evil Suppressor, it takes a long time to fight, which will inevitably disturb his state of mind."

"Before you learn the way of music, you should quit the Evil Suppression Division first."

"Begin your practice with 'The Voice of All Things'. Once you have fully mastered this piece, consider returning to the Evil Suppression Division."

"The Great Music of Heaven and Earth" and "The Sound of All Things" are both musical techniques passed down by the Xuanyinqin.

The moment Zhou Qingyu was recognized by Xuanyinqin, he received the corresponding inheritance.

She is the only one in the entire continent who can practice these two inherited sound techniques.

The only difference is that the former is an extremely high-level sound technique, while the latter is a low-level technique to help the successors of the Xuanyinqin get started.

This time, after some hesitation, Zhou Qingyu chose to obey Pei Xuanxi.

She nodded.

"Yes."

However, Pei Xuanxi's words asking her to quit the Evil Suppression Bureau did not seem like a simple suggestion.

Instead, there is a sense of "arrangement" in it.

Just like an elder treats his own junior, Pei Xuanxi not only promised to guide her in her practice, but also arranged the general direction of her future practice path.

If the wife of Marquis Shenwei had not passed away, Zhou Qingyu would have suspected whether the Imperial Master was Su An's mother, his future mother-in-law.
