I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 312 A large cart can carry heavy loads; through accumulation, one will never be defeated.

"Kojima has been captured, but no unusual event has occurred. It seems that his plan to die for his cause has failed. Whether he himself was unable to make up his mind or the enemy's strength far exceeded expectations, leaving him no chance to even commit suicide, this line of action must be abandoned."

Inside the Silla Pharmacy, the owner was discussing the situation with the military attaché from the consulate, who had come in disguise to buy medicine. Upon hearing this, the attaché frowned.
"Can't it be enabled directly?"

“We’ve already tried. The opponent’s sealing methods are extremely powerful, making it very difficult to activate them remotely. The new god-leader of the Nine Chrysanthemums faction will soon take over his position, but before that, the plan still needs a direction.” The pharmacy owner’s tone was somber. Thinking of the efforts he had made over the years, he added:

"Don't worry about the other tributaries. Even if they are discovered after such a long time, it would be impossible to eliminate them in less than one or two years. It's just that the location of this port city is too important. Without it, even if it is successfully launched, the effect will be very limited."

"The technical issues are for you to resolve. All I need to know is when the plan can be launched." The military officer's response was simple and direct, effectively shutting down the pharmacy owner's carefully crafted explanation.

Suppressing his anger, the boss took out a map of the port city and circled several locations on it. Although the military attaché was a novice when it came to metaphysics, as a military attaché at the consulate, he was quite familiar with the local environment. Seeing the map, he immediately understood the significance of the circled locations and frowned, saying, "The Central Plains will be receiving various deities in the next few days. Aren't you going to wait a bit longer?"

"This is the only chance. The plan has been exposed. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the local cultivators will likely take advantage of the Jade Emperor's birthday to exorcise evil spirits. If they succeed, then our years of hard work and centuries of planning will be ruined."

Upon hearing this, the military officer nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave. Seeing this, the shopkeeper picked up the medicine wrapped in brown paper from the table and said:
"Remember to bring this."

"Understood." The military officer took the medicine packet, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

What kind of medicine is inside?

"Aphrodisiac."

……

"Why do we need to prepare medicine?" Feng Xue frowned as she looked at the summary of the treatment plan provided by Xiao Lingdang. Xiao Lingdang replied:

"The body cultivation techniques you have obtained mostly contain descriptions of medicinal baths and medicinal diets, but my database does not contain records of the medicinal properties of this world. It is difficult to judge the specific effects based solely on prescriptions and theoretical components. In particular, the reverse cultivation method that you want to study itself lacks precedents and requires a large number of drugs for testing."

"Alright." Feng Xue thought that made sense. After all, even if a weather station could store some knowledge about medicines, it would mostly be about the use and synthesis of finished medicines. It was obviously impossible to delve into the properties and mechanisms of action of medicines, not to mention that the compatibility of medicines in this world also had to take into account the influence of metaphysics.

However, he didn't buy the medicine himself. In the end, he didn't know which family in the city had good medicinal herbs. Rather than going to each family, he preferred to ask a specialist for help.

and so……

"Fellow Daoist Feng, how have you been!" The broker cultivator, who hadn't seen Feng Xue for only two days, immediately greeted her with a smile upon seeing such a big customer. Without a word, Feng Xue pulled out a list:
"I need these medicinal herbs, but I don't know where to buy them. I would like to entrust your company to purchase them."

“No problem.” The broker glanced at the list and knew that most of the items were medicinal herbs for strengthening the body and improving health, but the quantities were large. However, considering that the other party ran a clinic, the broker didn't think much of it. After all, even if the other party was trying to hide the prescriptions, it didn't matter; the more they bought, the more he would earn. He immediately said:
"Purchasing medicinal herbs is no simple task. Our brokerage firm charges a commission of about 10% of the transaction amount, but in return, we guarantee the authenticity of the herbs we purchase. What do you think?"

“No problem.” For Feng Xue, money was no problem at all. He immediately signed a contract with the cultivator, left some money, and then left the brokerage. As he walked, he suddenly felt uneasy and couldn’t help but frown.

"The ice cube has already been taken away by Aunt Bai and Sixth Aunt, so what else could be a threat to me? Could it be that the goddess has come after me?"

Feng Xue thought about it and realized she was overthinking it. After all, with Delis's intelligence, there was nothing to be afraid of if she came after her.

Although that's what he said, he still kept this spiritual warning in mind. On his way home, he immediately took out the tortoise-shell coins and shook them. As the coins rolled, Feng Xue immediately said—

"Little bell, untie it!"

"Good master, the main hexagram is Li above Qian below, Fire over Heaven, Great Possession, the second line is: A large cart is used to carry things, there is a place to go, there is no blame, it means that the harvest is great, as long as you handle it carefully there will be no major problems."
"The second line of the changing hexagram is Li (fire), which is auspicious for perseverance and success. It is also auspicious to raise a female ox. This means that rigidity leads to breakage, and one should follow the right path, maintain a calm mindset, and avoid being aggressive or confrontational."

"The interlocking trigrams Dui and Xun suggest that the pillars are bent and a crisis is imminent, requiring extraordinary measures to break the deadlock."

After a period of growth, Xiaolingdang's fortune-telling skills seemed to have improved, but Feng Xue herself didn't understand, so she wasn't sure whether Xiaolingdang's cyber fortune-telling had really improved or simply become more eloquent due to a richer database.

But generally speaking, it is still considered divine divination, so one should believe in it to some extent.

"The gains are significant, but rigidity leads to breakage. So, following the righteous path and avoiding recklessness means I shouldn't be at the forefront, but rather maintain a calm mindset and rely on local forces? What about those who are crooked? To break the deadlock through extraordinary means, the only thing I can think of is relying on sheer luck?"

Feng Xue rolled her eyes, but relaxed a bit. Overall, the divination coincided with his own thoughts. As for the later part about the pillar bending...

At worst, we'll just have to rely on luck to break the deadlock!
"By the way, there aren't always big trains here... I need to check out the port railway station to see if there are any abandoned locomotives or anything like that. Damn it, why isn't there a train museum or something here? That way, I can just leave a 'Flying Thunder God' mark and avoid all the trouble later."

Feng Xue was muttering to herself as she headed out to the train station when she opened the door and saw Aunt Bai walking towards her.

"Oh, are you heading out?" Aunt Bai greeted her cheerfully, and Feng Xue smiled:
"I just got back from outside, but since I had nothing to do anyway, I decided to wander around. Are you here to collect the Emperor's Elixir?"

"That's right!" Upon hearing this, Aunt Bai immediately raised her hand, revealing a white mouse she was holding. "This is my junior. He has good talent, but he was born at the wrong time. If he didn't have the right opportunity, he would have to let himself die. But didn't we just happen to be born at the right time?"
