Chapter 91: He Tries To Scam Me!
Kek, kek, kek.
The token was only the size of a palm. The old Taoist priest only took a few bites before the token was only half of the original size.
“Azure Lotus! Stop being a bully! Fight me fairly!”
Li Canglan’s voice came from the half token.
The old Taoist priest sneered.
“What do I have to gain from it? Stop being so delusional, I’m not my Junior Brother.
“You tried to bully my disciple. I’ll keep the token for now. Want this part of your soul back? Find me after you have prepared 10,000,000 Spirit Stones!”
Then, the old Taoist priest gathered an azure flame in his hand and sealed the token.
Everyone in the Weiyang Palace stood flabbergasted.
What a great show!
First, the girl from Grand White Grotto-Heaven and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess were fighting over a man in the Country of Fire. Then, the legendary Sword Venerable appeared and fought Azure Lotus from Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.
What they experienced today had never occurred before in history!
It’s so worth it to come for the 6th Prince’s bouquet!
Wait, it’s the 6th Prince farewell bouquet!?
Shen Ao was depressed now.
When he had finally placed the blame on himself to appease his master and was no longer punished, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saintess appeared and sent his master flying with one punch.
Then the elder from the sacred ground robbed everything his master had—interspatial ring, robe, sword, and even socks!
This shameful event would leave his master in depression for months!
If Zi Yang was unlucky, it would not be impossible for mental demons to form and for his cultivation level to decrease.
It was all because he had come for Shen Ao’s farewell bouquet.
Shen Ao was really on the brink of tears.
If I use everything I have to buy a fourth-grade Forgetting Pill for my master, will it make my master feel better?
Wait, why would I think of buying a Forgetting Pill for my master!?
Although it is an effective method, it occurred to me too fast!
After eating half of the token, the old Taoist priest could not wait to eat the other half. However, he knew that he could not eat the other half as that part of Li Canglan’s soul would be destroyed.
If that happened, Li Canglan would definitely visit their Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and fight him to death.
What was more important, he would not obtain the 10,000,000 Spirit Stones.
“Sigh, why didn’t this guy make the token bigger?”
The old Taoist priest was pouted. He saw the flower pot on Li Lian’er’s head.
After Zi Yang had run away, Li Lian’er had put the flower pot back on her head, fearing that Shen Tian would not notice.
Li Lian’er quickly dashed behind Zhang Yunxi after noticing the old Taoist priest’s weird stare. “Sister Yunxi.”
Zhang Yunxi said loudly and helplessly, “Martial Uncle Azure Lotus, the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash already has an owner. There is no way to change it.”
It was not only for Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus but also for the other itinerant cultivators in the palace.
The value of a Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash with an owner and without were totally different. No one would risk their life to snatch a seed that already had an owner.
The old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly. “Cough, cough. Am I that kind of person? This calabash is still so young, how would I dare covet it?”
After a perfect diversion from the awkward topic, the old Taoist priest’s eyes fell back on Shen Tian.
At first, he had planned to lure Shen Tian to become his disciple. But now, he was unsure of the idea as he felt an intimate resonance in Shen Tian after meeting him.
As he went closer, the feeling got stronger too.
Then, he realized something.
Shen Tian is cultivating the Tinder Sutra! Damn! Is my Junior Brother scamming me? Which Son of Providence would cultivate the Tinder Sutra?
Indeed, the Tinder Sutra was for people with bad luck. That was the common consensus in the cultivation world for the Tinder Sutra.
The providence in the cultivation world was very mysterious, and no one could prove that providence actually existed.
Even a Tribulation Transcendence Sacred Leader could not see others’ providence, even if the said person was merely a Qi Refinement cultivator.
However, there were many case studies for providence which proved that providence indeed existed.
Some people were so lucky since birth that no matter what they did, they would do it smoothly without any difficulties.
Some people were very unlucky, and nothing good ever occurred to them.
Some people could have a smooth sailing life for the first few years but lose everything before they turned 20.
Some people experienced hardship from the day they were born, but everything changed for the better out of sudden one day.
All these proved that there was this mysterious power affecting their life. Occasionally, their providence could be changed by certain events.
So far, there was no record on ways to improve providence.
All the ‘good karma’ and ‘do good, you’ll be rewarded’ were total bluffs. Some people felt that a simple way to improve providence was to stay around the people blessed with it.
Nonetheless, it was easy to decrease one’s providence. All they had to do was to cultivate on the Tinder Sutra. It was the most effective way.
Rumors said that the Tinder Body-Tempering Art was cursed. All who cultivated this would have bad luck follow them throughout their life. The higher the cultivation levels, the worst their luck.
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe, had personal experience with it.
Before cultivating the Tinder Body-Tempering Art, he had been very successful in Eastern Wilderness. He would encounter good fortuitous opportunities often, and his friends would often be jealous of him.
Until one day, he had met with an accident and was forced to cultivate on the Tinder Sutra.
It was then he started to have a downslope life.
He was getting more and more unlucky each time.
It had been many years since he had encountered any fortuitous opportunity.
He would not even be able to continue to cultivate the art if he did not rob rich people with his skill.
Thus, when the old Taoist priest felt the *Tinder Sutra’*s presence in Shen Tian’s body, he began to have doubts.
Would the Son of Providence really cultivate something like the Tinder Body-Tempering Art?
Is my Junior Brother scamming me? Can I really benefit from this young man after I make him my disciple? Why do I feel that I would be even unluckier?
Did my Junior Brother know about this? So, he is trying to scam me, right?
