Ji Tianyou sat quietly and looked at Lin Yue.
He decided to use the Eye of Fortune.
The moment he activated it, information about Lin Yue appeared in his mind.
[Name: Lin Yue]
[Age: 12]
[Cultivation: Mortal]
[Special Physique: Nine Moon Purple Divine Body]
[Status: Sealed]
[Activation Condition: Nine Petals Moon Flower Essence]
[Description: The Nine Moon Purple Divine Body is a powerful divine physique. Once awakened, it will greatly improve the cultivator's cultivation speed and affinity with spiritual energy.]
Ji Tianyou was surprised by the information.
He continued reading.
Lin Yue possessed several special fates.
She had the Future Great Empress Fate, along with several other powerful fates related to fortuitous encounters and opportunities.
However, all of them were still in their early stages.
According to the information he saw, Lin Yue's original path would eventually lead her to become an extremely powerful cultivator.
Her Nine Moon Purple Divine Body would also become one of the foundations of her future cultivation.
The only problem was that her physique was currently sealed.
She needed the essence of a Nine Petals Moon Flower to awaken it.
Ji Tianyou looked at Lin Yue.
"So that's the reason."
He now understood why the system had brought his attention to her.
The little girl sitting in front of him was not an ordinary person.
She had a rare divine physique and several powerful fates.
More importantly, her future path had already changed because she had met him.
Instead of encountering certain opportunities much later in her life, she had encountered Ji Tianyou at a much younger age.
This meant that her path toward the Great Dao would begin much earlier.
Ji Tianyou stopped using the Eye of Fortune and quietly ate his food.
He did not tell Lin Yue about what he had discovered.
For now, he decided to let her stay by his side and help her find the Nine Petals Moon Flower Essence.
Once her divine physique was awakened, her cultivation would naturally become much easier.
Ji Tianyou looked at the young girl again.
"Finish your meal, and then I will tell you why I brought you here," he said.
Lin Yue paused. Her face turned red, and even with her dirty clothes, she could not hide her embarrassment.
"Young Master, I am still young. Let me grow up a little, and then I will serve you," she said in a small voice.
Ji Tianyou's lips twitched.
He gently flicked her forehead.
"What is going on inside that little head of yours? I didn't mean that," he said.
Lin Yue rubbed her forehead and looked at him with watery eyes, as if she might cry at any moment.
"I only brought you with me because I want you to follow me. I will also help you cultivate," Ji Tianyou explained.
Lin Yue looked at him in confusion.
"But the sect elder said I don't have a Spirit Root, so I can't cultivate," she said.
"That elder must be blind. Why do you think I spent one hundred Gold Coins to bring you with me? It's because you can cultivate."
Ji Tianyou gently rubbed her head.
"For now, just finish your meal. After that, we'll return to the inn. I will find a way to help you start cultivating."
Lin Yue nodded quietly and continued eating.
After Lin Yue finished eating, Ji Tianyou took her back to the inn.
He rented another room for her and then went out to buy some clothes and other necessities.
When he returned, he handed the clothes to Lin Yue.
"Go wash up and change your clothes. I'll be back later."
Lin Yue nodded.
"Okay, Young Master."
Ji Tianyou left the inn and headed toward the Heavenly Pavilion.
The Heavenly Pavilion was a massive merchant organization with branches throughout the Azure Continent. It sold almost everything cultivators needed, from pills and weapons to spiritual herbs and cultivation resources.
Ji Tianyou entered the pavilion and approached one of the attendants.
"Miss, I want to ask about a spiritual herb."
The attendant smiled politely.
"What are you looking for?"
"Do you have a Nine Petals Moon Flower?"
The attendant's expression changed slightly.
"Young Master, we don't have Golden Core-level resources in this branch. You should try a larger city."
Ji Tianyou blinked.
"Golden Core-level resource?"
The attendant nodded.
"Yes. The Nine Petals Moon Flower is considered extremely valuable. Even our pavilion rarely has one available."
Ji Tianyou thought for a moment.
"Can the Heavenly Pavilion accept a special order and bring one here?"
The attendant hesitated.
"Please wait a moment. Let me inquire about it."
Ji Tianyou nodded.
After waiting for a short while, the attendant returned with an elderly man.
The old man looked at Ji Tianyou.
"Are you the one looking for the Nine Petals Moon Flower?"
"Yes, Elder."
Ji Tianyou respectfully greeted him.
He could sense that the old man was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
The old man stroked his beard.
"I do have one."
Ji Tianyou's eyes lit up.
"But I am only willing to exchange it for another valuable resource."
"What do you want in exchange?"
The old man looked at him.
"The core of a Tier 3 Demonic Beast."
Ji Tianyou fell silent for a moment.
A Tier 3 Demonic Beast was far stronger than the beasts he had dealt with before.
However, he quickly thought of his system.
"I understand. Thank you, Elder. My master may have a Tier 3 Demonic Beast Core. I will go and obtain it."
The old man nodded.
"Alright. If you can bring me the core, the Nine Petals Moon Flower will be yours."
Ji Tianyou thanked him again before leaving the pavilion.
After walking a short distance, he stopped.
"Let's see if the system can help me with this."
He returned to the market and bought three Tier 2 Demonic Beast Cores.
Each one was expensive, but he could afford them with the money he had earned earlier.
Ji Tianyou looked at the three cores in his storage.
"I hope I can get a good return this time."
He now needed a Tier 3 Demonic Beast Core.
