Chapter 80 Divination
Blah blah blah!

Copper coins were scattered on the Bagua square table.

Li Anran read it carefully several times and said, "Earth Wind Rising, the best hexagram, Yuan Heng, it is used to see the adults. It seems that good things will happen today."

Ah Zhu, who was serving tea, looked skeptical. "Master, are you right this time? When you read Ah Bi's fortune yesterday, you said that she had good luck recently and everything she did would go smoothly. But she enthusiastically went to compete with Fourth Brother Feng in fishing, and lost miserably."

"Some fortunes are strong, some are weak. Sister A-Bi's fortunes are pretty good recently, but she won't be able to survive if she meets someone stronger."

Li Anran tried to save his dignity, but he was a little unconfident and glanced at the upper left corner of his vision.

[Divination +30]

[Divination Level 5 (17871/100000)]

Li Anran's confidence soared instantly, and he said, "It will definitely work this time. Ah Zhu, go and prepare the best tea now, and follow me to the front hall to wait. In less than half a quarter of an hour, a distinguished guest will surely come."

Since the third anniversary of Murong Bo's death, Li Anran has no longer been bothered by trivial matters.

Azhu and A Bi served by his side, taking care of his daily life and diet, and arranging everything for him so that he could concentrate on gaining experience.

To be honest, Li Anran was a little uncomfortable at first. In his previous life in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, he did everything by himself. Suddenly, he was serving someone and he was a little uncomfortable.

But as soon as he showed signs of wanting to refuse, Azhu and Abi looked aggrieved and tearful, just like abandoned cats.

Even though he knew there was an element of acting involved, he couldn't bear to refuse and had no choice but to accept it.

Then--

So fragrant!
To practice inner strength, techniques, and body skills, you only need to be on your own.

But, the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and medicine are not enough!

We need to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, musical instruments, various medicinal materials, and patients...

The preliminary work alone takes a lot of time.

But, things are different after having Azhu and Abi!

He just needs to practice, and Azhu and Abi will arrange everything else for him in advance.

It also includes masters with profound skills who can teach Li Anran various skills.

In just one year, Li Anran's existing skills have been greatly improved.

Especially [Calligraphy] and [Qiyue], which directly soared to "lv7".

【Calligraphy】 is relatively simple to practice. You can gain more than ten or twenty experience points for each character you write by following the calligraphy works of famous calligraphers!
[Qihuang] achieved this by treating patients.

From the third month after he traveled through time, Li Anran opened a pharmacy in Gusu City. He would see patients once a month, charging more from wealthy customers and less or nothing from poor customers.

He can gain experience points every time he sees a patient and prescribes medicine.

There may be dozens at least and hundreds at most.

[Qihuang]'s level naturally rose rapidly.

Today, the reputation of "returning the favor in the way you have treated others" that the ancestors of the Gusu Murong family had earned in the martial arts world has gradually been replaced by his reputation as the "Murong genius doctor who is better than Hua Tuo" and the great philanthropist Murong.

Every time Li Anran went to see patients, the line of people stretched from the south to the north of the city.

If Chanhe Manor was not located deep in the Taihu Lake with complex waterways around it, and he had not used the reed marshes to set up a barrier formation near Chanhe Manor, those people would probably have come directly to the door.

[Formation] and [Divination] are both new skills he has learned during this period.

During this process, Li Anran discovered that the various skills on the skill panel were not isolated, and many of them influenced each other.

For example, formations will be influenced by many factors such as painting and music.

The more skills he learns and the more profound his mastery is, the more helpful it will be for him to practice and improve other skills!

Unless you urgently need a certain skill in a short period of time, the overall efficiency improvement will be much higher than focusing on one or two skills!

"Azhu, wait a minute!"

Li Anran picked up the coin and threw it on the table again. He looked at the hexagram and glanced at the skill panel, then said, "Don't take Biluochun."

Wow!
The copper coins were scattered again.

“No Longjing.”

Wow!
“No Dahongpao.”

Wow!
Wow!
……

A'Zhu: "..."

Sir, why don't you just use what you want in divination? Why do you have to eliminate them one by one?
King Wen knows that you are fortune-telling about these things every day, so he must come out of his tomb to find you!
Li Anran threw it thirteen times in a row, and finally nodded with satisfaction, saying, "No need to prepare tea leaves, just prepare some good wine."

Ah Zhu exclaimed, "Good wine?"

Li Anran was full of confidence: "Just do as I say, you won't go wrong."

Ah Zhu: "...Yes."

Ah Zhu is very tired.

Ever since the young master learned how to tell fortunes five days ago, he has had his fortune told for everything, no matter how big or small. He even wants to calculate which leg he will step with first before leaving the house.

If it weren't for the incident with the talisman, she would really doubt whether her master was crazy!
She didn't know that while she went to the cellar to get the wine, Li Anran walked towards the front hall while counting with his fingers.

The calculation is exactly when the distinguished guest enters the door, whether he steps with his left foot or his right foot!
[Divination +1]

"You can even miscalculate 50% of the probability!" Li Anran was speechless.

Although his [divination] has been upgraded to "level 5", its accuracy is still very low.

The probability of King Wen's prediction of the Money Hexagram being correct is less than one in ten, and the probability of the Plum Blossom Hexagram being correct is less than one in a hundred!

Fortunately, he has the skill board, and he can judge whether his calculations are correct by the changes in the values, and thus confirm the facts.

As long as he calculates enough times, he will always get the correct answer!

The only pity is that divination can only predict unknown things. He cannot deliberately calculate it again after knowing the result!
Not long after Li Anran sat down in the front hall, he heard footsteps. He stood up and walked to the door, where he saw A-Bi leading an old man in.

The old man had long fluttering sleeves, a high forehead and a strange look. He looked very kind with a smile and was holding a zither.

"Master."

Ah Bi's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to introduce him, "This is my master Kang Guangling. People in the martial arts world call him 'Qin Crazy'. He and my other seven uncles are called 'Hangu Eight Friends'. His zither skills are hundreds and thousands of times better than mine. Master, this is..."

"I know! I know! He is Murong Fu of the Gusu Murong clan, the owner of Chanhe Manor!"

Kang Guangling interrupted A-Bi impatiently, rushed to Li Anran and asked, "Where did you get "Swordsman"? Who is the composer? Take me to see him quickly!"

Li Anran said: "The composer is no longer in this world."

Kang Guangling was stunned for a while, then suddenly he jumped up to a height of more than ten feet. Before his body hit the ground, he was already howling in mid-air.

After landing, he immediately sat down, pulled at his beard, and kept hitting the ground with his heels like drums, crying: "My life is so miserable! I finally met such a great man, but I couldn't even meet him in person! How can I play "Swordsman" with him!"

Li Anran was stunned. She didn't expect that Kang Guangling, at such an old age, would cry like a child.

Ah Bi looked embarrassed, and hurried forward to comfort her like a child: "Master, although the person who wrote "Swordsman" is no longer with us, my young master is gifted with extraordinary talent and is unparalleled in the world. He can master hundreds of skills at a glance and master them once he learns them."

"He only needed to listen to me play for two months, and his piano skills would have surpassed mine. If Master stayed, it wouldn't take long for him to be able to play "Swordsman" with Master."

Kang Guangling stopped crying when he heard this. He sniffed his nose and widened his eyes: "Hundreds of skills, can you learn them just by looking at them, and become proficient in them just by learning them?"

Ah Bi nodded vigorously: "As far as I know, there are music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, divination, and mathematics. No matter which realm I reach, my attainments are far beyond the reach of ordinary people."

A person suddenly flashed through Kang Guangling’s mind and he stood there.

At this time, Ah Zhu came over holding a jar of wine. Seeing Kang Guangling in such a state, she hurriedly asked, "Senior Kang, what's wrong with you?"

He suddenly thought of Li Anran's divination result and muttered, "It's only half right this time!"

Kang Guangling looked puzzled: "What do you mean only half right?"

Ah Zhu realized that she had said something wrong and subconsciously glanced at Li Anran. Seeing that Li Anran was also looking at her curiously, she said, "The young master was using King Wen's divination earlier. He predicted that a distinguished guest would come today, but he didn't predict that Senior Kang didn't drink at all and asked me to prepare some wine for the guest."

Kang Guangling let out an "ah", a little confused.

When fortune-telling, it is found that a distinguished guest will visit you, which is normal!
But, what the hell is the drink used to entertain guests during divination?

In his entire life, he had never heard of anyone who was good at fortune-telling doing such a boring thing!
Li Anran muttered quietly: "It's impossible! I calculated it so many times, it shouldn't be wrong!"

Kang Guangling: “…” Calculated it so many times?
It's boring enough to calculate this thing once, and you calculate it many times?
And it was wrong?

Kang Guangling was very suspicious of what A-Bi had just said. He climbed up using his hands and feet, put the zither into Li Anran's hands, and said unceremoniously, "Play it for me."

Li Anran saw that Kang Guangling was a person of genuine character and pure mind, so he placed his zither on the stone table in the pavilion and played "Swordsman".

Li Anran's [Music] was originally only at level 2, but during this period of time, he listened to A-Bi playing the piano every day and practiced occasionally, and his level has been upgraded to "level 5", which is even stronger than A-Bi's.

As the sound of the piano rang out, Kang Guangling's eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but take out the flute that he had prepared long ago from his arms and started to play it.

The sound of the piano is peaceful and neutral, and it is even more moving when accompanied by the clear sound of the flute.

The song is over.

Azhu and Abi were fascinated by what they heard.

Li Anran immediately glanced to the upper left corner of his vision.

【Music+793】

It's more than twice as high as when he practiced alone!
Li Anran stopped, but Kang Guangling did not stop. Instead, he took the zither and continued playing it.

【Music+112】

【Music+142】

……

Kang Guangling played eight songs in a row before he put the zither back into Li Anran's hands and said, "You come."

Li Anran didn't say anything more and started playing again, still "Swordsman".

This is the best piece of music he has, and he gains the most experience from practicing it once.

Every increase in experience value on the skill panel represents an improvement in Li Anran’s attainment in this skill, and there will be a qualitative change when the level breaks through.

One thousand experience points is not much compared to the one hundred thousand experience points required to upgrade from "lv5" to "lv6".

However, Kang Guangling was a rare master of zither art at that time, and he could immediately tell Li Anran's improvement. His face was filled with surprise and joy, and he kept clapping and shouting, "Good, good, good! Great! Great! You..."

Just then, a loud roar suddenly rang out.

"Qiao Feng from the Beggars' Sect wants to see the owner of Chanhe Manor, Dr. Hua Tuo and Dr. Murong!"
