Who Let Him Cultivate?!

The fortune-telling master was about the same age as Lu Yang. Noticing Lu Yang’s gaze, he explained with a hint of complaint, “There’s nothing I can do. People nowadays aren’t too keen on fortune-telling. They always talk about destiny is in their hands, not at the mercy of fate. It’s hard to make a living.” “Some like Eight Diagrams for fortune-telling, so I have an Eight Diagrams board ready.”

“Some want to predict their luck in gambling, so I have prepared a dice.”

“Some believe in the accuracy of character prediction, so I have the Four Treasures of the Study ready.”

“Some feel that tossing a coin is the most accurate, so I have nine coins ready.”

“Then there is this crystal ball, a recent trend from the East Sea. People love to predict their fortune with it, so I learned this skill in the East Sea.”

” Furthermore, this crystal ball can not only tell fortunes but also secretly play videos. One tool, two sources of income.”

“So, want to give it a go? No charge if it’s inaccurate.” The fortune-telling master enthusiastically marketed himself.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked suspiciously at the fortune-telling master, feeling cautious, as if he had figured out something about them.

Man Gu, who was having his fortune told for the first time, found it amusing: “Can you tell my fortune as well?”

The fortune-telling master smiled slightly: “Of course, please tell me which method you would like to use, and what you would like to know?”

Man Gu thought for a moment and felt that as a Confucian cultivator, he should go for character prediction. “Predict mine based on a character I write. Can you predict whether I’ll become a great scholar?”

“Please,” said the fortune-telling master proficiently, setting the Four Treasures of the Study and inviting Man Gu to write.

Man Gu swiftly wrote a character.

The fortune-telling master knocked on it and let out a sigh. “This character of yours…”

“What’s wrong with it?” Man Gu hurriedly asked.

“Your handwriting is ugly. What character is this?”

“Scholar.”

“…” The fortune-telling master composed himself and analyzed, “Scholar, meaning gentle, the designation of a technician. It comprises of the characters ‘man’ and ‘need.’

“Your body is strong, seemingly unbreakable, but you have a soft heart. You lack assertiveness and tend to mimic what you learn.”

“Let’s look at the character ‘need.’ It has ‘rain’ on top and ‘and’ at the bottom.”

” ‘Need’ signifies that you will be needed by others in the future.”

“The character ‘man’ stands alone, meaning you could not only become a great scholar but also a great scholar in a new form.”

Hearing that he could become a great scholar, Man Gu was overjoyed.

His level of Confucianism was one of the lowest under the guidance of the Fourth Elder. Even though the Fourth Elder didn’t mind and advocated equal education for all, saying that Man Gu hadn’t had his enlightenment yet, but once he did, he could make great strides. His potential was immeasurable.

Man Gu had always lacked self-confidence. But, as the fortune-telling master explained it, he said that Man Gu could become a great scholar, which restored his self-confidence.

He knew he still had potential!

” By the way, there’s one more thing.”

“What?”

“Work on your handwriting when you go back.”

“Okay.”

“Do you need a handwriting workbook? I just happen to have one. Get one. You have to spend money on your journey to becoming a great scholar.”

Man Gu agreed with him and bought a workbook.

After seeing Man Gu finish his fortune-telling, Lan Ting thought it was pretty interesting and also wanted to give it a shot. She sat down and asked, “I would like to know whether my future achievements will be higher in Array Method or Talisman? Use the crystal ball to predict.”

She had been studying the Array Method recently and found that she was more interested in it than the Talisman.

Lan Ting was considering whether to change her research focus.

The fortune-telling master held up the crystal ball and aimed at Lan Ting, rubbing his hands back and forth while chanting, “Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, come forth in the crystal ball! Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, reveal yourself in the crystal ball!”

Seeing the result displayed in the crystal ball, the fortune-telling master was shocked: “Uh, in the future, you’ve combined the Array Method and the Talisman into one?”

The divination master looked at Lan Ting with a strange gaze. This was an unusual train of thought. This female cultivator was beautiful beyond compare, yet why was her thinking vastly different from ordinary people?

Lan Ting tilted her head and gave it some thought. Feeling that what the divination master said might be plausible, she hesitantly handed over the money.

It was Meng Jingzhou’s turn, and his brow rose slightly: “You wouldn’t happen to be a disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Sect, would you?”

The Heavenly Strategy Sect, the number one sect in divination throughout the Central Continent, once accurately predicted the time of the re-emergence of an ancient great era.

The Heavenly Strategy Sect emphasizes causality, so common identity concealment techniques are essentially useless in their presence.

A disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Sect only needs to take one look to discern a person’s identity and origins.

Perhaps this divination master had figured out that the four of them hailed from the Seek Dao Sect and the Laurel Fairy Palace.

“Haha, you must be mistaken, junior brother. I’m just a wanderer, just an idle person. How could I ever be a disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Sect?”

Meng Jingzhou fell silent for a moment, then took a blood pact scroll from his identity jade pendant. “Three hundred years ago, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Strategy Sect borrowed a huge amount of top-grade spirit stones from our Meng family. Later, when he couldn’t pay it back, he hidden himself in his abode and claimed to be in seclusion.”

“When our Meng family went to your Heavenly Strategy Sect to collect the debt, your sect leader made a blood pact promising to repay it, and stipulating that any direct descendants of the Meng family, upon encountering a disciple of the Heavenly Strategy Sect, could demand repayment according to the blood pact.” “Do you want to test the power of this blood pact?”

Lu Yang had heard that the Meng family was owed money by people all over the world, it seemed this wasn’t a rumor.

The divination master fell to his knees with a thud, hugging Meng Jingzhou’s thigh and wailing: “Brother Meng, show some mercy so that we can still meet in the future!”

“Our Heavenly Strategy Sect is so poor that we can’t even support our disciples, so they sent us out to fend for ourselves. If I, Luo Bo, had money, how could I stoop so low as to trick and deceive people here!”

” I have to pay a fee to set up my stall here. I can’t even afford that!”

Luo Bo, the divination master, pleaded poverty: “Look at my mandarin jacket, patched and repaired, worn for several years without the money to buy a new one!”

Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes, the mandarin jacket was obviously refined, and quite valuable.

“I didn’t expect you to pay back the money, just get up.” Meng Jingzhou forcibly pulled his thigh away, “Just give us two free divinations, and I won’t cause you any trouble. Remember, no cheating!”

“Hahaha, no problem.”

“Come on, check my fate. What will my future achievements be like?” Lu Yang spread his hands, letting Luo Bo read his palm.

Luo Bo laughed, feeling very confident in his area of expertise: “This is a common question. Let me see.”

Who would have expected that Luo Bo would widen his eyes, rise in disbelief, and stagger backward until he hit the wall.

“Your fate, what’s going on, it’s so hazy. In the future, you will have a causality connection with several immortals!”

Luo Bo discovered that despite the causality connections with several immortals, Lu Yang still seemed as free as a bird, as if he wasn’t impacted at all. But the most terrifying thing wasn’t even that.

The scariest part was that Luo Bo also discovered that Lu Yang would be a major disaster in the Cultivation World in the future, spreading the influence of the Seek Dao Sect throughout the entire Cultivation World!

The practices of the Seek Dao Sect are already outrageous, but if the entire Cultivation World is infiltrated by the Seek Dao Sect, how could anyone live! Absolutely cannot be entangled in the causality of such a person!

Inwardly bemoaning his fate, Luo Bo saw the four of them coming from the Five Great Immortal Sects, like four fat sheep ready to be scammed for money. However, he never expected to stumble across an individual like Lu Yang, who he absolutely couldn’t have any dealings with!

Wait, to spread such bad practices across the Cultivation World, there was one more person, not just Lu Yang.

The other person was…

Luo Bo turned to look at his major debtor, Meng Jingzhou.

Run away!

Without saying another word, Luo Bo activated his escape technique. Not bothering to clean up his table, he took off running: “I- I- I didn’t see any of you today!”

He was afraid that if he lingered a bit more, he would lost his life there.

Before the four of them could even react, Luo Bo had already fled.

Lu Yang blamed Meng Jingzhou: “It must have been your demand for repayment that scared him off.”
