After a while, a natural distance formed between Ethan and Simone as they strolled. Andrew sidled up to Ethan and murmured, "Would you consider selling me your snuff bottle? I'm willing to pay double its worth." Whether he intended to use it himself or gift it to Jo later, owning that item would have lessened his misfortune, so he was prepared to invest a considerable sum in it. Ethan was taken aback. He responded to Andrew with indifference, "I'm not interested in selling." He had no time for someone who had mistreated Simone. Andrew had earned his bad luck, and he had no business trying to mitigate it with such valuable items. Andrew scowled. "Then, name your price." Ethan frowned in response. "No amount of money will persuade me to sell."He had purchased it as a protective charm for his father, spending all his savings on it. Simone had advised him to always keep it on his person, so there was no chance he would sell it to anyone, especially not to someone who had been unkind to Simone. He added sternly, "I would rather discard it than sell it to you." Andrew was at a loss for words. Who have I offended this time? Everyone who is close to Simone seems to be against me. I haven't done anything to her! He sulked. "If you're not willing to sell, then so be it." Although disappointed, he was powerless to change the situation. Meanwhile, Simone discovered a sapphire ring radiating auspicious energy and a set of knife coins emanating a potent aura of malevolence. These could be used in tandem with the seal to achieve superior results.Everyone who was on good terms with Simone seemed to find something beneficial. Andrew proposed to Aaron, "Why don't you let her assist you in finding something as well? Or ask her to sell you that sapphire ring." If Aaron could also find something valuable like Ethan, he could borrow it for his use. Or he could purchase it directly from Simone. Aaron retorted, "I have more self-awareness than you." Simone certainly wouldn't assist him in finding something or sell it to him. He was well aware that he shouldn't even entertain such thoughts. "Andrew, if you want to find something or if you're interested in that ring from Simone, you'll have to do it yourself. Don't even think about using me as a stepping stone." Having been siblings for so many years, he could easily see through Andrew's ulterior motives. It seems that spending time with Jodie has influenced him to enjoy playing such games. Andrew rolled his eyes. "She doesn't even acknowledge you, let alone me." Aaron was irritated and suggested, "Why don't you ask Master Shawn for assistance?" Andrew's mind whirred, "That's actually a sound idea." So, he approached Bailey. "Master Shawn, could you possibly assist us as well?" Bailey regarded him coldly. "Do we know each other?" In other words, he was implying that they were not even acquainted, so Andrew had no right to request his assistance. Andrew was taken aback. Why are they all so haughty? Feeling humiliated, he said, "Of course, I won't expect you to do it for nothing. As long as I can find something that lessens bad luck, I will reward you." Bailey raised an eyebrow. "Do I look like someone who needs that reward?" He flatly refused, "I won't do it, don't ask me." Andrew felt quite wronged, but he dared not provoke geomancy masters like Bailey and was left frustrated. "Alright, then I won't buy it." After Bailey walked away, Aaron approached Andrew. "Andrew, have you noticed something?" Aaron asked. Andrew was puzzled. "What's the issue?" Aaron replied, "Your popularity is really low. If you continue like this, no one will pay you any mind." Andrew was speechless. "What did I do?" Aaron said, "Reflect on yourself."Andrew was baffled. What should I reflect on? I don't believe I did anything wrong. It's these individuals who can't get along, even though we're all guests on the same variety show. They're playing a game of isolation. The group reached the end of the street without finding anything that brought good luck. Simone stood by the wall at the end of the street, studying several ancient paintings hanging on the wall. The person in charge of the stall at the end of the street was an elderly man with gray hair. He saw Simone engrossed in the paintings and smiled. "What do you think of these paintings?" Simone snapped out of her thoughts. "They are beautifully executed, with excellent technique and a sense of allure." He smiled and said, "That's right, these paintings were created by Master Shawn."She was surprised. "Master Shawn painted these?" He nodded. He replied with a tone of reverence, "Yes, these paintings by Master Shawn have the potential to be appreciated and understood by geomancy masters, which can enhance their abilities." Simone approached and carefully examined the paintings. After a moment, she looked at the old man and said, "These paintings seem to be quite old." The old man was momentarily stunned before smiling and saying, "These are all early works by Master Shawn. I heard that these paintings were preserved from hundreds of years ago, so they naturally have a sense of age." Simone nodded. "I see; that's the reason." She said again, "If it weren't for what you said, I would have thought these paintings were at least a hundred years old."The old man smiled. "It's the paper that has the age. It's normal for you to be mistaken, young girl." Simone also smiled. "That makes sense." Her gaze fell on a painting of an ancient city nestled in the mountains and gradually entered a mysterious state. As if she were standing in the clouds, gazing down at the mortals below, with a sense of pride and solitude. Suddenly, a clear voice came into her ears. "Are you admiring my painting?" Simone snapped back to reality and turned her head to look at Bailey, "Yes, your painting skills are extraordinary. They made me feel immersed." The bottleneck between the innate and the unity of heaven and man had loosened after she finished looking at this painting. As long as there was another opportunity, she would be able to reach the highest level of a geomancy master, so she was also amazed by Bailey's strength. This time, she was certain in her heart that he had definitely reached the Divine State. He might be just one step away from achieving the complete Divine State. The Divine State consists of three stages—the initial stage, the intermediate stage, and complete unity. With each stage accomplished, not only would one's strength increase dramatically, but their lifespan would also be greatly extended. After achieving complete unity, there was even a belief that one could live forever. However, Simone had experienced a mini timeline with the backdrop of geomancy mystical arts for the entire nation. She knew that living forever after achieving complete unity was an exaggeration, but with proper maintenance, living for a few hundred years was entirely possible.In fact, once one achieved the Divine State, as long as they had avoided injuries and backlash from the heavenly path, living for three hundred years would be easy. Simone smiled and asked, "Bailey, with your strength, have you surpassed our master?" Bailey returned her smile. "I haven't sparred with him, so it's hard to say." Simone understood that he was avoiding her question and didn't press further. She grinned. "Bailey, let's spar in the future. Please teach me more." Bailey nodded and said, "No problem." He then asked, "Do you still want to take a stroll?" Simone replied, "No, let's not." Bailey smiled and suggested, "How about taking another look? Maybe there will be more surprises." However, Simone shook her head and said, "No. Today's gains are enough. One shouldn't be too greedy." That set of knife coins was something she couldn't resist; she particularly liked it. Moreover, she stumbled upon a lucky ring and felt that the gains from today's night market were already sufficient. As for any more surprises, she didn't want them. Perhaps they would be something frightening.
