Chapter 13
The Golden Core Can Open Heaven Gate
[Today is a day of diligent study of the fortune-telling technique, but unfortunately, there’s no gain.]
[Refined understanding of the fortune-telling technique +1]
As the saying goes, “The heavens won’t let down the determined,” and “Utmost sincerity can break the stone,” Fang Jinyu’s fortune-telling technique had finally reached the beginner stage. On the other hand, he suspected that his success was due to exploiting the terrifying luck of the “lucky star.”
Afterward, he saw his wisp of luck.
It was as thin as a strand of hair and slightly green. If he didn’t look carefully, he would think his eyes were playing tricks on him.
“It’s only this little?”
Although Fang Jinyu couldn’t see the luck of others, he could imagine that he was probably the same as a passerby.
“Being a passerby… It doesn’t seem too bad, either. Although a passerby is not much different from cannon fodder, at least a passerby won’t die unknowingly.” Fang Jinyu was a little disdainful of his luck, but he accepted the fact.
After all, no matter what, his condition was much better than what was described in the book!
It was the result of his perseverance and hard work!
Then, Fang Jinyu immediately tried to use the fortune-telling technique. Since Fang Jinyu was just a beginner, he didn’t dare to be arrogant and ran to a deserted place to try his new technique. Instead, he came to a market in Yuan City, where he had once been.
Since mortals and cultivators lived together in Yuan City, there were both cultivators and mortals in the market. Sometimes, mortals would discover what appeared to be cultivation items. However, since they were unsure about it, they would simply display it for sale in the market. Each item was worth one spirit stone, which could be exchanged for gold in the market.
From the perspective of the cultivators, it was undoubtedly exploiting and bullying the mortals. However, from the perspective of the mortals, it was an opportunity to get rich!
Moreover, most of the mortals in Yuan City knew about cultivators.
Although not every family in Yuan City had an immortal cultivator in their family, mortals living inside could confidently say that they knew some cultivators or had once held a young cultivator.
Therefore, many mortals knew that the Qi Condensation stage cultivators possessed some supernatural powers and were more powerful than martial heroes. In terms of lifespan, they were no different from mortals. Some mortals who practiced good health maintenance could outlive a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.
As a result, the mortals of Yuan City respected the Qi Condensation stage cultivators, but they weren’t afraid of them.
For example, when Fang Jinyu passed by a house, he saw a disciple who ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage being scolded by his mother in front of the door. The disciple hung his head and didn’t dare to talk back to his mother. Meanwhile, quite a few people were watching around the house. None worried that the disciple who ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage would come after them for revenge.
“As expected, it’s rare to see such a stupid young man like Lu Shaojun,” Fang Jinyu sighed. Afterward, he walked deep inside the market.
Mortals were in the peripheral area of the market. However, the internal area was filled with cultivators. After all, there had to be a place to serve the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
As for the great Core Formation stage cultivators…
If the great Core Formation stage cultivators came to the market, they must be out of their minds.
It was because the place where the great Core Formation stage cultivators exchanged their items was in the sky! Once one had formed their golden core, they could use it to open the Heaven Gate and enter the Little Heaven Realm, which was above the Nine Desolations.
On the other hand, the great Core Formation stage cultivators could not enter the Little Heaven Realm at any time. Every five years, the Little Heaven Realm would gradually remove its barrier and allow the great Core Formation stage cultivators to enter.
For the great Core Formation stage cultivators, who lived for 500 years, five years was the same as one closed-door cultivation session.
Fang Jinyu was wandering around.
All of a sudden, Fang Jinyu had a strange feeling. However, the strange thing was that he couldn’t sense anything when he tried to sense it carefully.
Soon, Fang Jinyu understood it was probably a reaction to his fortune-telling technique!
It must be something good since he didn’t sense any fear!
It could also be an opportunity!
Immediately, he wandered around the area.
At first, nothing happened, but suddenly, an inexplicable sense appeared. This time, Fang Jinyu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly followed his instincts.
After a while, Fang Jinyu looked at the little girl in front of him with a puzzled look.
The little girl was also confused by the situation.
The two of them looked at each other in confusion.
Fang Jinyu thought, “What?! Is it all the fortune-telling technique can sense?”
Meanwhile, the little girl asked with uncertainty, “Are you my mother?”
Fang Jinyu was silent.
Hence, he squatted down and asked considerately, “Are you blind?”
“Then you’re my father?” The little girl readily accepted his advice.
Fang Jinyu was silent again.
Fang Jinyu had heard of a few stories about little tadpoles looking for their mothers, but about little girls looking for their fathers… He once read a few stories about it before he transmigrated.
“No, I’m not.” Fang Jinyu shook his head.
“Then who are you?” The little girl glanced at Fang Jinyu confusingly.
Fang Jinyu cupped his fists and introduced himself, “I’m Fang Jinyu, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Tianling Sect.” Other than the perception of his fortune-telling technique, he personally felt the little girl was a little strange.
She was young, but her eyes weren’t like a child’s sparkling eyes.
Instead, she looked as calm as a lake, as if she could see through one’s heart.
“I… Who am I again?” The little girl wanted to copy Fang Jinyu’s introduction, but she was stunned when she opened her mouth.
She then turned to look at Fang Jinyu.
“…”
Fang Jinyu thought, “Why is she looking at me? I won’t be here if it isn’t for my fortune-telling technique.”
“I don’t know. Little girl, don’t look at me.” Fang Jinyu shook his head.
“Oh!”
The little girl nodded and followed behind Fang Jinyu.
“You want to go with me?” Fang Jinyu asked.
“Are you blind?”
Fang Jinyu felt her words were familiar, making him want to hit her. However, he held back because he knew the fortune-telling technique would not give nonsense hints.
“Alright then. After all, the Tianling Sect will be recruiting disciples within a few months anyway. Hence, you can stay there for a while.”
Fang Jinyu pretended to be nonchalant as he walked out of the market.
He did want to buy things in the market. However, he was short of money!
Fang Jinyu thought he was already considered rich by possessing more than 7000 spirit stones. However, after asking about the price of elixirs for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he realized he was still poor.
The most common elixir for increasing inner energy in the early Foundation Establishment stage was the Spirit Summoning Elixir, which cost 800 spirit stones. Some rarer elixirs cost over 1000 spirit stones, making them more expensive than inferior low-tier spirit items!
Fang Jinyu didn’t have enough spirit stones to buy a bottle of Spirit Summoning Elixir.
However, the effect of the Spirit Summoning Elixir was excellent. Usually, as long as there was no bottleneck, one would basically break through rank 3 in the Foundation Establishment stage after consuming three or four bottles of the Spirit Summoning Elixir.
Of course, the premise was that he had to have at least or lower attributes than triple-element spirit roots.
One’s ability to refine and absorb the elixirs will improve directly to their spiritual roots talent.
Therefore, Fang Jinyu was going to return and continue cultivating his alchemy skills, striving to be able to refine elixirs for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators as soon as possible!
