Chapter 22

The following day, the sun rose from the East as usual, and Xiao Changtian was also awake.

There were a lot of plans for today. First, he would sell some calligraphy and paintings on the streets to exchange for copper coins. Next, he would renovate the small courtyard.

The environment of the small courtyard wasnt suitable for Rongrongs life.

If I want to expand the courtyard area, Ill need a lot of money

When Xiao Changtian thought of the twenty taels of gold from before, he felt pity for it.

Jiuer, after feeding the tortoises, go find a few craftsmen to renovate the courtyard, Xiao Changtian ordered.

Alright, Mu Jiuhuang nodded, and her beautiful eyes flashed.

Craftsman

Xiao Changtian was walking on the street, preparing to head to the towns p.a.w.nshop. He wanted to ask how much his paintings could be p.a.w.ned for.

A rich man like Perfected Qing Yun must be rare. Now was when he urgently needed money and could not try his luck.

I can predict the great fortune of the heavens and the good fortune and misfortune.

Ill start the divination with one copper coin. If its accurate, you can give me more. Ill give you ten taels of gold if its inaccurate.

A loud voice was heard. Xiao Changtian looked over and saw that a fortune-telling stall had appeared before him since G.o.d knows when.

At this time, a white-robed, beardless, middle-aged man had his eyes closed as he called out.

It was the pavilion master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

In front of the stall, people would pa.s.s by from time to time to ask. When everyone left, they all had grateful expressions.

Young man, its our fate to meet each other. Why dont I read you your fortune? Heavenly Secrets Pavilions master said with a smile.

Hehe.

Xiao Changtian chuckled, and the corner of his mouth twitched. What ability did this kind of wandering Daoist have to predict the fate of the heavens?

He had met many wandering Daoists in his previous life, so he didnt have a good impression of them. If they could directly calculate the winning numbers of the lottery tomorrow, wouldnt they have become rich long ago?

Does he even know how to read fortunes?

As for the cultivation world, he didnt believe it.

Cultivation was a heaven-defying act. Who could predict their fate?

Little brother, you dont believe me? Hearing Xiao Changtians sneer, the pavilion master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion frowned. Countless cultivators on the five continents of the Mainland of Tianyuan begged him to tell their fortunes, but he still did it according to his mood.

Today, however, he came to a small town and was questioned by a mortal.

I dont, Xiao Changtian shook his head and said seriously.

You Seeing Xiao Changtian didnt look like he was lying. The pavilion master was even angrier. A mortal was questioning him!

Was that appropriate?

He could not tolerate that!

The pavilion master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion slammed a hundred taels of gold on the table. Ill read your fortune. Youll have to give me a copper coin if its accurate. If its not, these golds are yours.

Hiss

Seeing a hundred taels of gold, and the gold even emitting a dazzling light, Xiao Changtian silently gasped.

This was a hundred taels of gold, enough for him to live the rest of his life without worry.

Arent you afraid that Ill lie on purpose? Xiao Changtian looked at the pavilion master and said solemnly.

As long as he insisted that the mans calculations were inaccurate, wouldnt these hundred taels of gold be his?

However, Xiao Changtian maintained his sincerity and wasnt tempted by money. He said it out loud.

I have a mirror here. Its an immortal treasure that can test the authenticity of a persons words. You can try it out, The Heavenly Secrets Daoist took out his heavenly secrets mirror.

The heavenly secrets mirror was an ancient treasure pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. Detecting lies were only one of its various functions.

Oh? Ill try then.

Xiao Changtian was interested. He sat down opposite the pavilion master and looked in the mirror.

After recalling what he knew, it seemed he was the only one who knew about yesterdays fight between the Qingyun Sect and the Beast-taming Sect. He thought for a moment and said, There was a fight at the back of the mountain outside the town yesterday.

As Xiao Changtian spoke, the heavenly secrets mirror lit up with a green light.

This means youre not lying. If you lie, it will show red.

The pavilion master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion explained.

Xiao Changtian nodded. It seemed that this realm was indeed a treasure in the cultivation world. It even knew about the fight between cultivators yesterday.

Alright. You can start the divination. Do you want me to write a word, or do you want me to read my fortune through my face? Ill cooperate with you, Xiao Changtian said. As for whether this wandering Daoist would renege on his debt, he didnt need to worry at all.

Many people were watching them.

With so many witnesses, he wasnt afraid that this wandering Daoist would go back on his word.

No need to go through so much trouble. Ill know once I calculate, The pavilion master said arrogantly. His divination art could predict anything from the ninth-level Heavenly Tribulation Realm experts to mortals on the Mainland of Tianyuan.

The pavilion master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion lightly twirled a spell with a faint smile on his lips.

Today, he was going to let this mortal experience his skill.

What do you guys think? Its a hundred taels of gold. I want it

Were waiting for the results. If its accurate, lets get him to read our fortunes too.

The residents of Dayang Town were all curious as they waited for the results.

Xiao Changtian, on the other hand, was indifferent. The wandering Daoist was probably using a trick to deceive people. If he didnt get tricked by the wandering Daoist and allowed him to grasp his psychological weakness, the wandering Daoist wouldnt have had any chance to find out anything.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master chanted a spell, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His brows gradually furrowed, and his expression turned serious.

Such a tough mortals fate? Fog blocking my sight?

Hmph, its a pity it will not stop me. Im, after all, the Daoist of Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master sneered. He used the heavenly secrets art and charged toward the mist.

Heh, break it open and let me see whats inside, Heavenly Secrets Daoist laughed in his heart.

But suddenly, his expression changed, and his body trembled.

Just as his heavenly secrets art was about to break through the fog, a brilliant pressure of the great Dao descended. If he hadnt dodged in time and used his subst.i.tute body to block it he was probably dead by now.

This is impossible

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion master looked at Xiao Changtian in disbelief.

Was the person in front of him a f*cking mortal?

This big shot came from G.o.d knows where and was making fun of him!

Senior must be joking. Im just a swindler. All of this gold is yours. the pavilion master knew that the person in front of him was a big shot, so he quickly apologized.

His back was already drenched in a cold sweat.

In the ring, the subst.i.tute body had already been crushed into ashes.

He would have turned into a pool of ash if he had not reacted quickly.

No! Not even his ash would be left.

Huh? You havent told me the result yet, Xiao Changtian was dumbfounded, you just made up a lie, and it ended just like that? How boring is that?

iII cant figure it out, The pavilion master said helplessly with a wry smile. However, he was a little nervous in his heart. Could it be that the senior doesnt intend to let me go?

However, he didnt have any enmity with this senior!

The pavilion master could only smile and hand the gold to Xiao Changtian as a serious apology.
