Chen Mobai thought for a while and wrote the word "Dan".

Compared to marriage, he still felt that Cultivation Realm was more tangible.

"Can I Core Formation?"

Chen Mobai handed over the blank paper and ballpoint pen he had written on, and asked the question he wanted to ask.

The Sunglasses Girl extended her pale right hand, her slender fingers taking the white paper. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, making it difficult to see clearly. Chen Mobai suddenly felt an urge to take off her sunglasses and see her true face.

Very strange.

He considered himself to be a person who was very good at controlling his emotions, especially when Qi Refining Nurturing Thought God Forging Technique. He was used to eliminating distracting thoughts and cultivating Spiritual Sense.

Since reaching the Foundation Establishment, this strange impulse that arose from the depths of my heart has not returned for a long time.

"Within the Immortal Sect, every cultivator has the opportunity to Core Formation."

At that moment, the Sunglasses Girl gave a reply.

After listening to the whole thing, Chen Mobai lost interest in continuing.

Like those incompetent fortune tellers, he never answers questions directly, always resorting to ambiguous platitudes.

"Very good, I appreciate your kind words."

But Chen Mobai was a very polite person. Although he didn't want to listen anymore, he still smiled and replied before getting up to leave.

"If you Core Formation, you will undergo Three Tribulations."

The Sunglasses Girl ' hoarse voice came from behind him. Chen Mobai shook his head indifferently. This is modern society, why are you fortune tellers still using these old tricks?

First, say nice things, then start with alarmist talk.

Thinking he had seen through her, Chen Mobai felt disgusted and refused to pay any more attention to the inexperienced fortune-telling girl. He continued walking, about to leave the alley.

"These Three Tribulations are the Three Tribulations of essence, qi, and spirit. The tribulation of essence means that if you want to Core Formation, you must first lose 180 years of your lifespan."

Chen Mobai taken a step when he heard this, he immediately turned around and walked back to the stall.

"Master, may I ask how we can avert this calamity?"

The Sunglasses Girl looked at Chen Mobai, who was even more polite than before, and continued speaking without any fluctuation in her emotions or words.

"If we're talking about the Qi Tribulation, then it's the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any more of this tribulation in the Immortal Sect, but your Core Formation character has manifested this tribulation. It's truly strange."

Although it was strange, his tone remained unchanged.

Chen Mobai listened with a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't dare to interrupt the master's divination. He just kept the matter in mind and would look up information about the Immortal Sect or ask Che Yucheng when he had time in the future.

"The Tribulation of the Gods signifies that your foundation is unstable and your cultivation for Core Formation is not solid enough. You may fail at the last moment because you cannot grasp the surge in cultivation after Core Formation."

After hearing about his Three Tribulations in Core Formation, Chen Mobai took out his phone, intending to scan a QR code to transfer money.

But after looking at the entire stall, I only saw the eight characters "Jing Tian Wei Di" and "Miao Shuan Shen Ji", but no payment code.

"Master, how can you teach me?"

Seeing that the Sunglasses Girl had finished explaining her Tribulation and was about to stop talking, Chen Mobai couldn't hold back any longer and asked again.

"The Immortal Toon Fruit of the Goumang Dao Academy can add 480 years to one's lifespan."

After pondering for a long time, the fortune teller finally gave a solution to the first tribulation, but Chen Mobai was speechless upon hearing it.

The only Sixth-Grade Spirit Tree in the Immortal Sect, also known as the "Great Toon" of the Goumang Dao Academy.

This tree bears fruit once every eight hundred years. Even mortals who consume it can directly extend their lifespan, and it can even revive the dead and restore White Bone to its former glory. It is known as the number one immortal fruit of the Immortal Sect.

But even the Three Great Hall Masters of the Immortal Sect are not qualified to take this thing; it is exclusively for the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor.

Although I saw many TV dramas when I was a child, the male protagonist died in an accident, and the female protagonist went through many hardships to finally obtain a Immortal Chun Fruit from the ancestor and revive the male protagonist.

But that was television. Chen Mobai even felt that even if half of the Immortal Sect died, they wouldn't let those two Spirit Transmutation Ancestor open their eyes to look at them.

"Master, is there any other simpler method to avert disaster?"

Chen Mobai continued to ask.

The Sunglasses Girl, however, continued speaking as if it were a program, talking to herself.

"The Qi Tribulation should no longer exist in the Immortal Sect. You can resolve it by finding a place in the Immortal Sect to Core Formation."

"The Divine Tribulation is due to your weak foundation. You can refine your internal strength or prepare appropriate pills in advance as an aid, which can also have miraculous effects."

After saying these three sentences, the Sunglasses Girl folded the white paper with the character "Dan" written on it by Chen Mobai and put it into her right sleeve. Then, no matter what the latter said, she remained silent, as if she were mute.

"Master, I have some savings and quite a few Artifact Spirit objects. May I use these as payment for the divination?"

Chen Mobai thought he was being insincere, but the Sunglasses Girl remained silent.

"How about this, Master, don't you do three divinations a day? Give me two more sheets of paper, and I'll take care of all your business for today."

Chen Mobai's words caught the attention of the Sunglasses Girl opposite him, who seemed to be in a daze. She looked up, her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses staring straight at him, and her tone showed a change for the first time.

"The Divination for the Fated to receive it, but it creates a karmic Karma with my Divine Machine Mansion. One divination Karma is a shallow karmic connection, but three divination Karma are interconnected and interlocking, which you may not be able to resolve in the future."

"Wow, this person really doesn't want money!" Chen Mobai exclaimed in surprise, while also wondering about the origins of the Divine Machine Mansion. In front of the Sunglasses Girl, he couldn't very well use his phone to search online.

"Our Immortal Sect doesn't believe in Karma. From childhood, we are taught to concentrate our power within ourselves and break through the law with force. Go ahead and calculate it for me."

But Chen Mobai knew that this fortune teller must be a highly skilled person.

After all, he had never told anyone in the entire Immortal Sect about the Longevity Tree Fruit; only he himself knew.

This person was able to see through his Core Formation tribulation at a glance; he truly possessed skill.

"Alright then, but I'll do one more divination for you at most."

The Sunglasses Girl hesitated for a moment, then pulled out another piece of white paper, which she was about to hand to Chen Mobai along with the ballpoint pen she had put away.

Tap tap tap! Footsteps approached, sounding like leather shoes on the ground, crisp and pleasant.

Chen Mobai turned to look at the exit of the alley. He couldn't see her face clearly in the light, but he could tell that she was a slender woman with a full chest. She was wearing a slightly tight pink plaid shirt that made her waist look thin, and a striped pleated skirt that revealed a pair of slender legs wearing black over-the-knee stockings and round-toed leather shoes.

"Excuse me, could I please pass by?"

As she walked in, she saw Chen Mobai, and the Sunglasses Girl.

Because the alley is narrow, once two people sit down, plus the stalls in the middle, there's practically no space for anyone to pass through.

Chen Mobai looked up and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It turned out to be an acquaintance.

She was Shi Wanyu he met on the train when he first arrived at the Wuqi Dao Academy.

Five years have passed, but time seems to have left no trace on her. She remains as pure and beautiful as ever. As she speaks, a smile plays on her lips, and the way she gently touches the hair behind her ear adds a touch of allure to her youthful appearance.

"Please."

Chen Mobai immediately stood up and let her pass, and she thanked him with a smile.

"Divination for the Fated, young lady. Would you like your marriage fortune told?"

However, just as Shi Wanyu walked past the stall, the Sunglasses Girl who had previously ignored Chen Mobai took the initiative to ask her if she wanted her fortune told.

"Sorry, I don't believe in these things."

Although Shi Wanyu was a little surprised, she still shook her head apologetically and turned to leave. Just then, Chen Mobai had a sudden thought.

The people in the Divine Machine Mansion only perform three divinations a day. He has already used two of them, and the remaining one can be used to see if the truth is out.

"This person is quite remarkable. Since we've had the chance to meet him, we shouldn't miss this opportunity."

Chen Mobai's words made Shi Wanyu, who was about to leave, hesitate, after all, the Dance Weapon Red Black Robe was very convincing.

"Never mind, my friend is waiting for me at the Wuqi Dao Academy. I heard that the guy Magic Combat Victor is coming today, and I'm afraid it will take up too much time, so I'll skip it."

Shi Wanyu's words caused Chen Mobai's lips to twitch slightly.

How did news of his arrival still leak out? I guess those Student Union members couldn't keep their mouths shut. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone there.

"It won't be delayed."

Seeing that Shi Wanyu was about to turn and leave, Chen Mobai said something, then reached out and removed the mask from his face. Pieces of black Shuijing- like scales flew out from both sides of his cheeks and into the raised right sleeve arm guard.

"It's you... What are you doing here..."

When Shi Wanyu saw Chen Mobai, she covered her mouth in surprise, her pretty face slightly red, unable to believe it.

"Excuse me, I'm quite popular now, so I have to disguise myself when I go out."

Chen Mobai first apologized to Shi Wanyu, who shook her head repeatedly, saying it was alright.

"If you want to see me, just contact me directly. Don't we have each other's contact information?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyu lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Girls are too shy to take the initiative to contact each other. The only time she mustered up the courage to send a message was when Chen Mobai reached the Foundation Establishment. She was genuinely happy for him.

Although the two talked all night, for the next two years, she could only bury her feelings in her heart unless Chen Mobai took the initiative.

Especially after Chen Mobai became the Chief of the Wuqi Dao Academy this year, sweeping through Lesser Red Heaven and reaching the peak of his fame.

Feeling the vast difference between them, she dared not take the initiative to contact him, fearing that Chen Mobai would misunderstand her as someone who lacked self-respect and was only after fame and fortune.

"If you need anything in the future, you can take the initiative to tell me. I'm usually cultivating, but I'll reply when I have time. Also, I think I still owe you a Lipstick."

Chen Mobai recalled that on the train, Shi Wanyu had given him a Lipstick to sign for someone. He had promised to buy her one after getting off the train, but after going to first class, he ran into Meng Huang'er and Ma Xiaoming and forgot about it.

"You still remember?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyu's face lit up with joy, her lightly made-up eyes crinkling into a smile, making her exceptionally beautiful.

"This is a reclusive master, with Miraculous Calculation Divine Machine. He only performs three divinations a day. Now that you have met him, you can ask him what you most want to know."

Chen Mobai the Sunglasses Girl, Shi Wanyu listened attentively while watching him intently.

How much does it cost?

Asking this question meant that Shi Wanyu wanted to have her fortune told, but she remained rational and did not lose her temper because of reuniting with her friend Chen Mobai. She asked about the fee in advance to avoid embarrassment if she didn't have enough Merit Points later.

"No fees are charged; only Karma are established."

After answering Shi Wanyu's question, the Sunglasses Girl pulled out a piece of white paper, picked up the ballpoint pen that was originally meant for Chen Mobai, and handed it to him. Although the latter found it strange, he didn't think much of it, after all, it was Chen Mobai.

He certainly wouldn't lie to himself.

"This one will do."

Shi Wanyu thought for a while, then suddenly blushed on her fair skin. She quickly wrote a word, folded it up, and handed it directly to the Sunglasses Girl without letting Chen Mobai see it.

"Miss, what would you like to ask? About marriage?"

The Sunglasses Girl took it, opened it, and asked a meaningful question.

"No, no, no, I want to ask myself about my future."

With Chen Mobai right beside her, Shi Wanyu felt embarrassed and could only ask about her marriage prospects in a more subtle way.

"Your life is fulfilling."

The Sunglasses Girl gave a reply that made Shi Wanyu even happier, but Chen Mobai frowned slightly. Why was this kind of clichéd reply the same as his previous ones, with no skill involved?

"How can it be perfect?"

Shi Wanyu asked further questions.

"Died peacefully in his sleep."

The Sunglasses Girl gave a rather unromantic answer, and Shi Wanyu's initially happy expression stiffened slightly. She opened her mouth, but considering that Chen Mobai was right next to her, she ultimately didn't dare to ask the question.

"To die peacefully in my sleep is also my dream."

At this moment Chen Mobai spoke up to smooth things over. Then he picked up the blank sheet of paper on the table and wrote down the characters for his second divination of the day.

[Turtle]! His success today is all thanks to the Turtle Shell. Since we have the opportunity today, we can ask him about it.

What do you want to ask?

"Question about life."

Chen Mobai also wanted to see how far he could ultimately go.

"Most of the questions people ask are about life. But I can't see through your life."

The Sunglasses Girl suddenly sighed, then pulled out a thick stack of cards from under the table.

"Take one of these cards. This is a treasure of the Divine Machine Mansion. The sentence written on it will define your future."

Chen Mobai frowned slightly, but still reached out and drew a laminated card as instructed.

The back of the card features a Brass Bagua Wheel hovering in the Starry Sky. Turning it over, sure enough, there's a sentence on the front.

[Ascend to the world, climb the path through the void.]

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Mobai seemed to understand, but felt it resonated deeply with his own life, and humbly sought guidance from the Sunglasses Girl.

"Miss, since you've also asked about life, why don't you draw a card too? I can see the end of your life, but there's a bit of fog ahead."

The Sunglasses Girl didn't answer Chen Mobai, but instead looked at Shi Wanyu, who also drew a card, seemingly confused.

Upon opening it, I found a different poem.

[Stars burst forth beyond the rosy clouds, embers fall before the steps.]

Chen Mobai and Shi Wanyu exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding. Just as they were about to ask the Sunglasses Girl, her expression suddenly changed drastically, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
