Zhu Yuying was surprised to see Yuan again, but most importantly, she was shocked to see that he'd somehow managed to reach Spirit Grandmaster in such a short time when he was still in the Lower Heavens!

It has only been a few weeks since their last visit, and he was only at the Spirit Warrior at that time. To think he achieved Spirit Grandmaster in such a short time— not even her friends would believe her if she told them about Yuan.

"Y-You… How did your cultivation rise so quickly?" Zhu Yuying couldn't help but ask him.

"It just happened." Yuan shrugged.

"It just happened, you say?" Zhu Yuying raised her eyebrows.

n.o.body 'just happens to' increase their cultivation by two whole realms in such a short time unless they have experienced and survived many life-or-death situations.

Zhu Yuying cannot imagine how many trials Yuan had to pa.s.s in order to receive such a boost.

'He properly had to crawl through burning ground and survive countless near-death situations,' Zhu Yuying sighed inwardly in an admiring manner, completely oblivious of the truth.

"By the way, did you decide to change locations? What happened at the store in Spring City?" Yuan asked her.

Zhu Yuying chuckled and said, "I didn't change locations, silly. Every single Myriad of Techniques in the Nine Heavens are connected to each other through a single powerful formation, so no matter which store you go to, you will always end up in the same place."

"However, there is more to it. It's a little complicated, but I will try my best to explain it to you."

She cleared her throat and said, "Depending on which of the Nine Heavens you come from you will be teleported to a certain part of the Myriad of Techniques. There are only three floors in the store right now, but there are actually more floors— nine to be exact. If you come from the Lower Heavens, you can only access the first three floors."

"In order to access the higher floors, you must enter the store from the upper heavens, so if you enter from the Spirit Heaven, you will be able to access the fourth floor of the store."

"So you're technically not in the Lower Heavens right now but in some other dimension, which is why I can talk to people in the Lower Heavens, as I am not really in the Lower Heaven right now."

"I see… Although it's a little complicated, I think I understand the system." Yuan mumbled with a pondering look on his face.

"Anyways, if you have already had your destiny examined, you don't need to do it again."

Zhu Yuying showed them the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune and continued to speak, "And I don't want you breaking it again. This crystal ball isn't cheap, after all."

A guilty smile appeared on Yuan's face when he recalled that incident.

Zhu Yuying proceeded to explain things to Meixiu and the others.

A few moments later, Meixiu and Feng Yuxiang placed their hands on the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune, and to Zhu Yuying's surprise, they both had a heavenly destiny.

"You too." Zhu Yuying suddenly said as she glanced at Yuan's wrist after Meixiu and Feng Yuxiang's turn, obviously talking to Lan Yingying.

Lan Yingying transformed into her human form and asked, "Do I have to do it even though I won't be buying anything?"

Zhu Yuying nodded, "Everyone that wants to enter must do it."

"Okay." Lan Yingying nodded and placed her hand on the crystal ball.

"Another heavenly destiny? I have never seen so many people with a heavenly destiny together before," she mumbled in a dazed voice.

It was almost like everyone in that group had a heavenly destiny.

'Does this have something to do with him?' Zhu Yuying looked at Yuan for a moment.

A few moments later, Zhu Yuying asked them, "So what are you guys here for today? Who's the one trying to buy a new technique? And what kind? Perhaps I can help you out."

"We're looking for a cultivation technique for her." Yuan pointed at Meixiu.

"I see… Do you have any special physique or bloodline? They can greatly affect your cultivation speed depending on the cultivation technique you choose." Zhu Yuying asked her.

Meixiu nodded and said, "I have the Spirit Severing Physique."

"S-Spirit Severing Physique? What a rare one… No wonder why you have a heavenly destiny." Zhu Yuying mumbled in a shocked voice.

"And you're too nonchalant about it. There are many people who covet your talents. If I were you, I wouldn't reveal your physique so easily to just anyone."

"I understand. Thank you for the advice." Meixiu nodded.

"Anyways, I know the perfect technique for you, but unfortunately, it's on the fourth floor… You know what? Give me a few minutes."

Zhu Yuying then lifted her head and said, "Master, are you busy?"

A few moments later, a voice resounded in her head, "I'm currently speaking with the Sect Master of the Nine G.o.ds Hall and a few other individuals. Unless this is an emergency, save it for later."

"Well… That young man who broke the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune has returned… I remember you told me to contact you if he ever returns."

"What? That youngster is back? Really?" Senior Bai said in a surprised voice.

"What does he want this time?" He then asked.

"He's here to pick a cultivation technique for his friend who has the Spirit Severing Physique."

"The Spirit Severing Physique? There should be the perfect technique for that on the fourth floor."

"I know, but that's the problem. He cannot access the fourth floor yet since he's still in the Lower Heavens, and I was wondering if I can go to the fourth floor to get the technique for him."

After a moment of silence, Senior Bai spoke, "Go ahead. Do my friend a favor and get that technique for him."

'Friend?!' Zhu Yuying was shocked when Senior Bai addressed Yuan as his 'friend'.

"Thank you, Master. I will let him know," she said afterward.
