Shen Tian facepalmed helplessly upon seeing that Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi were flattering him again.
Although they were very smart in their own way and could please him very much so, they were too attached to him.
No matter where my stall is, they will always be around.
What was more important was that he really saw the image of fortuitous opportunities in their halos! They were very clear and vivid!
Well, they were lucky enough to get part of the Divine Lightning Origin back in the Sky Spirit Pavilion, and thus their providence had increased drastically. Even the weakest of them had a dark green halo. As for the one with the highest providence among all of them, Shopkeeper Song’s halo had started to have red spots!
Shopkeeper Song and his group definitely had top-notch providence compared to the people here in Fog Town.
Given their providence, they would encounter treasures during their experiential journey effortlessly.
Since the fortuitous opportunities had come to Shen Tian, there was no way he was going to miss the chance.
He looked at Shopkeeper Song and the others with a smile. “Why? Why do you have to be so persistent… Forget it. Since we can meet today, it means that we are indeed fated.”
Then, he said to Shopkeeper Song, “Song Fugui, come forward.”
Master Celestial asked me to come forward? Is he going to help me find my fortuitous opportunity?
Shopkeeper Song was very excited and followed the instruction. “Yes, Master Celestial!”
Shen Tian said calmly, “Since we are fated today, I’m going to show you the path to your fortuitous opportunity. Just stick to it, and you will find what you need.”
Then, he raised his finger and pointed at Shopkeeper Song’s glabella. A beam with a message was transmitted through divine consciousness.
Only a Foundation Establishment cultivator could use such an ability, and that was also how some heritage cultivation techniques were passed down.
For example, the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant and the Demon Book of Hyuga all contained divine consciousness in them. When cultivators wanted to learn them in the future, they needed to use their spiritual power and activate the divine consciousness.
Well, since Shen Tian was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his spiritual power was still very weak. Thus, he could only pass the message of a small map over a short distance.
As long as Shopkeeper Song followed the small map, he could find the fortuitous opportunity.
After receiving Shen Tian’s message, Shopkeeper Song was very happy.
“Thank you, Master Celestial! I’ll repay your kindness the moment I get this fortuitous opportunity!”
Shen Tian nodded slightly. “Like I said, ‘If we are fated, my services will be free; but if we are not, no amount of gold would fancy me.’.
“Your fortuitous opportunity has arrived, just go and get it. Do not loiter around the area.
“After reading the stars in the sky, I foresee that things are going to turn ugly soon.
“Remember, do not be greedy and take all that is available. Engrave it in your heart.”
Shopkeeper Song nodded furiously. “Rest assured, Master Celestial. After I get the fortuitous opportunity, I’ll stay beside you and listen to your orders.”
With Master Celestial’s help, I do not have to hunt for treasures at all!
What Shen Tian showed him just now was a Divine Binding Vine, one in its tender stage. He could catch it as a pet if he was lucky enough. Such Divine Binding Vine could grow quickly and get strong very fast. Thus it would be very useful if a cultivator owned it.
Shopkeeper Song had made up his mind to give the Divine Binding Vine to Shen Tian.
As long as Master Celestial is happy, I’ll have more fortuitous opportunities in the future!
Then, Shopkeeper Song started running toward the plain.
Shen Tian nodded and looked at the rest of the group. “Xiong Meng, come forward.”
Xiong Meng was so excited that he quickly jumped up and shouted, “Here I am.”
Seeing the huge man behave in such a way, Shen Tian felt utterly helpless. “I have something for you too.”
Then, Shen Tian passed Xiong Meng a piece of a map through divine consciousness too.
Xiong Meng’s fortuitous opportunity was a Metal Steel Grass. It was the main material for making Body Pills and Body Elixirs. These could improve one’s physique greatly.
Xiong Meng had a strong body, to begin with. Thus he was very suitable to cultivate in Godfiend Body Tempering Arts. It would be very helpful to him in cultivating the Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art if he had the Metal Steel Grass.
After receiving Shen Tian’s ‘blessing’, Xiong Meng started laughing uncontrollably.
“Thank you, Master Celestial! Thank you! I’ll listen to whatever you say after I find my fortuitous opportunity!”
Then, Xiong Meng ran away in the direction of Shopkeeper Song too.
Zhang Yunxi was very worried as Shen Tian was revealing the future to others so easily.
She sent him a voice transmission. “Junior Brother, are you sure it is okay for you to do this so frequently? Will fate itself punish you?”
Zhang Yunxi’s concern was very reasonable. There were indeed cultivators who were specialized in fortune-telling and predicting the future. However, there were a lot of restrictions on what they could say. If they revealed the future too frequently, they could suffer from the Heavenly Calamity.
Now, Shen Tian was bluntly starting a stall and doing fortune-telling in the open. It would not be a problem if Shen Tian was not telling the truth about their fortuitous opportunities. However, if whatever Shen Tian said came true, it meant that he was revealing the future to others frequently!
If he were really punished by fate itself, Zhang Yunxi would be very troubled.
Shen Tian smiled and said, “It’s okay. I was born with special eyes that can see the future. This will not cause any side effects. As long as I do not force myself to predict some incredible fortuitous opportunity and do not take advantage of the opportunities that belong to a person with great providence, there is nothing to worry about.”
Zhang Yunxi was relieved after hearing this. She recalled what had happened back in the Myriad Spirit Garden.
So that’s why Junior Brother could be sure that the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant was in that ore without even careful inspection.
He was not actually assessing the ore, but he was looking in the future instead!
Seeing Shen Tian knew what he was doing, Zhang Yunxi decided to trust him.
Shen Tian continued to share the information with the fated cultivators around and asked them to find their fortuitous opportunities themselves.
For safety concerns, Shen Tian did not wish to go back to the Fog Plain anymore. The fog there was really creepy.
After receiving the map from Shen Tian, Liu Taiyi did not run straight to the treasure location. It was a great time to flatter Shen Tian now that Shopkeeper Song was gone. He was going to stay with Shen Tian and brainwash the new fated people.
Although Celievers had changed their name to the Favored Ones group, the culture of splitting half the shares with Shen Tian should remain.
Liu Taiyi would not allow anyone to break that rule. He could obtain a fortuitous opportunity in the future, but it was more important to earn Shen Tian’s favor now.
Liu Taiyi found a small seat and sat by the road. He was waiting for the return of the first new fated person.
Finally, after an hour or so, the first fated man came.
He was someone that Liu Taiyi had never seen before.
He was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. According to Shen Tian, he had found nearly 100 Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums!
This Spirit Chrysanthemum was a 2nd grade spirit herb and could be used to concoct the Sexual Prolongation Liquid, which was very popular among Dao companions. The market price of a 2nd Grade Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum was about 100 Spirit Stones. Thus, 100 of them were worth nearly 10,000 Spirit Stones.
That was a huge fortune for an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it could last him for very long.
Seeing that the fated man had returned, Liu Taiyi quickly approached him.
“Hey, pal. Are you going home just like this? With all the goods?
“Why are you so short-sighted!?
“Have you forgotten what Master Celestial said? ‘Do not be greedy and take all that is available.’.
“What do you think he was saying? He was hinting you!
“He said he is doing it for free, but that does not mean we do not pay him!
“He is doing it for free because he has high moral value! If we do not pay, it shows that we are ungrateful!
“Pal, let me ask you something. Do you want to be favored by Master Celestial?
“Do you want to maintain your fate with Master Celestial? Or are you satisfied with just one fortuitous opportunity?
“I’m Mr. Liu. I was just like you. Come, listen to my story concerning Master Celestial.”
