After returning to the Rest Inn, Ding Huan organized all his belongings in the Star House before continuing to predict the events three days later.

Three days later, the powerhouses from the Advanced Civilization Planet would arrive at the Four-direction Star Land and be stationed in the Four-direction City.

Although Ding Huan had already calculated this outcome, he still wanted to confirm it several times.

There absolutely couldn’t be any errors; otherwise, he would have to wait another hundred years.

Three men and two women, led by Star Lord Ding Qi of the Four-direction Star Land, along with the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families and the Sect Leaders of the three great sects, walked into the City Lord Mansion.

Although Ding Qi was the Star Lord, Ding Huan clearly saw that he lingered behind during the process of leading the way.

The appearances of everyone in the prediction were not very clear, and Ding Huan guessed that this had to do with his own level of skill.

This group of people arrived at a huge hall where seats had already been arranged.

The five guests took their places at the most prominent location, obviously the main characters.

The first step was to recruit talented disciples, and at this point, a man took out a testing device and placed it in the center of the hall.

Ding Huan saw the man grab, and a ten-foot-tall device appeared in the center of the hall, guessing that this person must also have a storage device.

Following that, the Four Great Families and the three great sects brought out many young boys and girls.

These youths took turns standing on the device for testing.

To Ding Huan’s amazement, aside from a few, the majority of people’s testing devices emitted a light that could reach up to ten feet.

The colors of this light varied, which, according to Ding Huan’s knowledge, should be due to different Spirit Root attributes.

It seemed that although the part of the universe where the Four-direction Star Land was located couldn’t cultivate, it could still produce those with Spirit Roots.

Thus, a bunch of talented disciples had gathered here, and these geniuses were the targets that the Advanced Civilization intended to take away.

However, the spaceship only took a few people each time; basically, the seven disciples were provided by one family from each of the Four Great Families and the three great sects.

These predictions had no issues; the results were the same each time.

Next should be the acquisition of treasures and the offering of treasures.

The acquisition of treasures was simple: the Four Great Families and the three great sects provided treasures from the universe where the Four-direction Star Land is located and then traded with the powerhouses from Advanced Civilization.

After this process concluded, it was time to offer treasures.

Only a little over five hundred people were eligible to offer treasures.

Ding Huan felt some admiration for that Jin; he actually managed to secure an entry pass to offer treasures.

However, Ding Huan was certain that if he hadn’t snatched the entry pass away from Jin, the latter would have been unable to go to the City Lord Mansion to offer that Spiritweed.

Because Jin didn’t know that the Advanced Civilization’s spaceship had arrived so much earlier.

Such information would certainly not be notified to each person individually.

This could be deduced from the fact that only five to six hundred people entered the City Lord Mansion to offer treasures.

Even Ding Huan inwardly marveled at the business acumen of the Four Great Families and the three great sects.

They probably had tens of thousands of treasure offering entry passes from goods they sold, and then they spread the word that people from Advanced Civilization would only be able to reach the Four-direction Star Land two years later.

But in reality, they arrived a year and a half earlier.

Hence, the vast majority of those holding treasure offering entry passes didn’t know the offering had already begun.

Those who obtained entry passes but couldn’t offer their treasures eventually had to sell them.

A large number of these treasures might very likely flow back into the hands of the Four Great Families and the three great sects.

This was a case of killing several birds with one stone.

Similarly, Ding Huan had a premonition that the Spiritweed collected by Jin would be unable to secure a place to go to the Advanced Civilization.

The Spiritweed was merely a main ingredient for concocting Medicine Pills for Foundation Establishment; how could it catch the eye of others?

Out of more than one thousand three hundred people, only three would be selected; the competition was indeed fierce.

Moreover, the Four Great Families and the three great sects were among those offering treasures.

Ding Huan couldn’t predict every treasure, but he felt that the treasures these people brought out were all extraordinary.

Hmm, why has a fight broken out?

Ding Huan was startled; in his last prediction, no one had fought.

What shocked him even more was that one of the fighters was Star Lord Ding Qi of the Four-direction Star Land and the other was a Family Head.

Wasn’t Ding Qi just an ordinary person? How could he fight with a Family Head?

To know that any Family Head would at least be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, or even at the Perfect stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ding Huan tried hard to predict more clear details, but his mind turned murky again, and he had no idea why.

After several attempts without any clear results, able only to vaguely sense that Ding Qi had the upper hand, Ding Huan simply stopped predicting.

He trusted that with his own treasures, he would definitely secure a place.

And he needed two places, one for himself and one for Qi Xinyue.

As for whether the monkey would take up a spot, Ding Huan didn’t know; he would deal with it once he arrived at the City Lord Mansion.

If the monkey was not allowed on the ship, then he would regretfully have to let Lao Liu down.

From the moment he took Lao Liu back, Ding Huan knew that Lao Liu was not very loyal to him. So if it came to abandoning him, it would certainly be Lao Liu.

If Qi Xinyue couldn’t board as well, then he would inquire how to enter Advanced Civilization.

He just couldn’t believe that when he offered such a high-grade treasure, if he didn’t board the other party’s ship, they would not even agree to this small request.

Two days flashed by, and on the third day, Ding Huan arrived outside the City Lord Mansion in advance.

Despite Ding Huan, Qi Xinyue, and Lao Liu trying to appear nonchalant as they arrived there,

as soon as he arrived, he still felt that there were suddenly hundreds of idlers outside the City Lord Mansion.

Ding Huan understood that these fellows must be, like him, waiting to enter the City Lord Mansion to offer their treasures.

This made Ding Huan sigh internally; he was there because he had obtained the Big Calculation Skill and thus predicted the arrival of the spaceship from an Advanced Civilization Planet today.

While these people were likely relying on their own connections to get there.

An hour later, Ding Huan saw the scene he had predicted: a group of people came over.

Ding Huan didn’t dare use Divine Will to scan them; he just glanced at them and quickly averted his gaze.

Those five powerhouses from the Advanced Civilization seemed to possess a cultivation far exceeding the Foundation Establishment Realm; they were elite among elites.

Star Lord Ding Qi looked frail and had an ordinary appearance.

No one would guess that this puppet Star Lord was a master.

Although Ding Huan couldn’t predict the scenes that followed, he could make an educated guess.

Ding Qi, despite being strong, was up against the Four Great Families and the Three Sect Masters.

If these seven joined forces against Ding Qi, no matter how strong he was, it would be in vain.

Ding Huan found a spot to sit down with Qi Xinyue and wait.

The first thing these people did upon entering was to select talents. After the talents were picked, they would purchase various top-grade materials and treasures.

After the treasures were bought, it would finally be their turn to present their offerings.

The testing of the talents and the purchase of materials were both swift; in less than two hours, the doors of the City Lord Mansion opened.

No one came out to relay the message, but Ding Huan knew very well that this was the time—if he didn’t hurry in, he might find the doors closed again.

So as soon as the doors opened, he rushed into the City Lord Mansion with Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu.

Seeing Ding Huan go in, others also hurriedly followed.

Those who had temporarily left for a bit and came back found that they had lost their chance.

Inside the City Lord Mansion’s grand hall was spacious. Having predicted this scenario, Ding Huan wasn’t surprised. Because he entered early, he found a good spot to stand.

The woman overseeing the treasure offering had a very amiable attitude. She scanned the whole crowd with a smile before speaking in a very soft voice:

"My name is Sang Yuhe. Thank you all for coming here to present your treasures. We will make a fair and just selection, and we will not let down any friend who genuinely offers a treasure.

The full score for the selection is one hundred points; any treasure scoring below sixty points will not have the chance to participate in the subsequent evaluation. Now, please, the first person, present your treasure."

Ding Huan saw that the first person Sang Yuhe mentioned was actually the one closest to the door, the last to enter.

The person brought out a medicinal herb; Ding Huan didn’t know what it was.

However, Ding Huan felt that this medicinal herb was likely close in quality to the Seven-Toothed Shaping Grass.

In his opinion, if Seven-Toothed Shaping Grass couldn’t be selected, it would be strange if this herb were chosen.

Sure enough, the score was only thirty points.

The one who offered the treasure seemed disappointed. He chose to sell the treasure, receiving two broken Crystal Stones before leaving.

Next, the second person offered a piece of ore; his treasure was even worse than the former’s, scoring only ten points.

With this score, he didn’t even get any broken Crystal Stones—just a tiny Magical Treasure Fragment.

Ding Huan noticed that the Magical Treasure Fragment had almost no energy fluctuations; it probably wouldn’t fetch much.

The third piece, the fourth piece...

Several treasures in a row were unremarkable, making the faces of those who had come from the Advanced Civilization Planet look unhappy.

Fortunately, soon afterward, a decent-looking Spirit Fruit Tree Seedling was evaluated and scored sixty points, barely allowing it to stay.

Then it was scores from ten to forty points, with two instances of fifty points in between.

Until a very obese young man took out a Medicine Tripod from the bag behind him.

"A Spiritual Artifact?" exclaimed a middle-aged man standing behind Sang Yuhe in astonishment.

Although his voice was low, Ding Huan could still hear it.

From Ding Huan’s prediction, the obese young man’s Medicine Tripod scored eighty points.

"Haha, not bad, your treasure is the best. Stand at the front," said the middle-aged man standing behind Sang Yuhe, laughing while holding onto the Spiritual Artifact Medicine Tripod and examining it repeatedly.

He seemed somewhat reluctant to let it go.

At this point, the treasure offering finally had a true treasure come through.

Ding Huan was the first one in, so he was the last to make an offering.

Everyone’s attention had been taken by the Medicine Tripod, leaving Ding Huan to bring out the Immortal Demon Pill from the bag beside him.

"What is this?" Sang Yuhe frowned slightly.

Although her cultivation was higher than the previous merchant’s, she seemed not as knowledgeable about treasures.

Before Ding Huan could explain, she sensed something was off. Raising her hand, she snagged the Immortal Demon Pill out of Ding Huan’s hand from afar.
