Do You Have Any Wish?

Although Shi Wanyu recognized the girl in front of her, dressed in a white undershirt, black coat, black skirt, and black stockings, as the person who had told her fortune, she really didn't know how to address her.

I don't think I asked at the time, so I stood there awkwardly.

"My name is... Chen Chun!"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but still said her name.

"Chen Chun... that's a nice name."

After hearing this, Shi Wanyu spoke politely, but inwardly she was thinking: [It's the same surname as his...]

But then she realized what she meant, picked up the card in her hand, frowned slightly, and asked Chen Chun with a hint of doubt, "Did you lead me here? Or are you here for a visit?"

In fact, Shi Wanyu was already leaning towards the first answer.

"Everyone who receives our Divine Machine Mansion Destiny Card is our Fated One. Our lineage needs to guide those with Fated One to continuously increase our cultivation." Chen Chun nodded and pointed to the card that Shi Wanyu was holding in her fingers, saying, "And you are my Fated One."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyu looked puzzled. If she remembered correctly, she had gotten the chance to have her fortune told by tagging along with Chen Mobai.

Logically speaking, Chen Mobai should be Chen Chun's Fated One.

Or does it mean that as long as a divination has been performed, everyone is considered to have a connection with the other?

Isn't that too casual?

"Well, I don't need to do any more fortune telling. You can go find Fated One."

Shi Wanyu has never been interested in fortune telling or such things. If fortune telling were useful, she would have already flown away with him.

"Fortune telling is just a means to find those with Fated One. Helping those with Fated One is about telling you a way to fulfill your inner desires."

Just as Shi Wanyu turned to leave, Chen Chun suddenly said something that made her stop in her tracks. Upon hearing this, Shi Wanyu immediately turned around, her gaze intense.

"Wish fulfillment, is that really true?"

Seeing Shi Wanyu's interested expression, Chen Chun breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still maintained a calm demeanor and explained to the girl in front of him.

"It's not about fulfilling your wishes. We're not gods, how could we possibly do that? We're just telling you the method to fulfill your wishes. Whether it can be achieved or not depends on the Fated One's own efforts."

After hearing this, Shi Wanyu was slightly disappointed, but thinking that she was about to graduate and had no hope of Foundation Establishment, the wish that she had thought about for many years but never dared to hope for began to emerge under these words, turning into a silent impulse that almost slipped out.

Fortunately, at the last moment, her sense of shame prevented her from acting on this impulse.

Seeing Shi Wanyu's hesitant and reluctant expression, Chen Chun felt a little anxious.

As soon as she uttered those words, everyone else would have already started treating her like a wishing machine, pouring out their deepest desires.

Why is this guy so calm?

As expected of that person! Even now, without any memories and merely an innocent and carefree girl, her mind remains so calm and composed.

"Tell me your heartfelt wish, and I will tell you how to make it come true."

Chen Chun spoke again, his gaze falling on the Flowing Light Sword behind Shi Wanyu.

The reason she was led here was because this sword could help her successfully Foundation Establishment.

Shi Wanyu is about to graduate from university after ten years. If she doesn't want to join the army, then her most urgent wish is obviously to successfully complete the Foundation Establishment.

In this way, one can avoid military service.

As the successor of the Divine Machine Mansion, Chen Chun had already anticipated all of Shi Wanyu's thoughts and was just waiting for her to speak. Then, he calmly pointed his finger at the Flowing Light Sword.

And then say this: [What you need is right behind you!]

Just imagining that moment was incredibly powerful for Chen Chun; it perfectly matched the elegant style and extraordinary bearing that the Divine Machine Mansion had always maintained.

"Well, my wish is a little difficult to express."

Under the influence of Chen Chun's words and the urgency of graduating soon and having to serve in the military, Shi Wanyu finally decided to give it a shot and began to confide in Chen Chun.

"It's alright. There's basically nothing in the Immortal Sect that our lineage doesn't know."

Although Chen Chun's tone was calm, the confidence he conveyed was clearly palpable.

"As you know, I'm about to graduate, but since I haven't successfully Foundation Establishment yet and I don't want to serve in the military, so..." Under Chen Chun's guidance, Shi Wanyu suppressed her shame, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes sparkled as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chun smiled slightly.

Sure enough, everything went exactly as she had predicted; she hadn't miscalculated a single word.

Just as Chen Chun was about to cough and raise her finger to point at the Flowing Light Sword behind Shi Wanyu, the other half of a sentence that Chen Chun could never have predicted in her lifetime suddenly fell into her ears.

"... I was thinking, could I have a child? That way, I wouldn't have to serve in the military."

After Shi Wanyu finished speaking, her fair cheeks flushed red. She even raised her hand to cover her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed, as if she didn't dare to look at Chen Chun's reaction.

Fortunately, she didn't look, otherwise Chen Chun's blank expression, almost as if his Dao Heart Shattered, would have made her lose all desire to continue speaking.

After being shocked for three seconds, Chen Chun finally came to his senses.

She immediately regained control of her expression, making sure not to reveal her turbulent emotions on her face.

"Well... actually there's another, even better way that would allow you to avoid military service."

After a long while, Chen Chun gave a subtle reminder.

This is already a breach of the rules. The Divine Machine Mansion lineage can only obey the wishes of those with Fated One, and cannot change their hearts.

However, Shi Wanyu's wish still made Chen Chun somewhat defensive.

At that moment, she felt that the unique skills she had been so proud of over the years were like a joke.

"Oh, really? A special clause within the Immortal Sect? But I still want a child. Didn't you say that all wishes can be fulfilled? Can't this one?"

There are some special laws in the Immortal Sect that can exempt people from military service, such as the descendants of meritorious officials or the only sons and pillars of the family. However, the conditions are very strict and require a cultivator at the Core Formation stage or above to act as guarantor.

Shi Wanyu felt that these things were irrelevant to her as a commoner, so she was still single-mindedly trying to find the "simplest" way to avoid military service.

"Of course... that's possible. What kind of child do you want?"

Chen Chun practically gritted her teeth as she said those words. She had already broken her vow with her previous statement, and she didn't dare to repeat it now. She could only grit her teeth and continue the conversation.

"I want his child."

Shi Wanyu spoke shyly again, lowering her head. She didn't dare to say Chen Mobai's name, so she took out her phone, pulled up the photo of the two of them taken at the Mountain Sea Academy, and showed it to Chen Chun.

Never before had Chen Chun found that delicate face so irritating.

"This... is a bit difficult... but I can tell you how."

Chen Chun couldn't help but remind Shi Wanyu again that she could be exempted from military service once she reached the Foundation Establishment.

But suddenly she felt a pang of anxiety, and she immediately knew she couldn't break her vow. She could only change the subject and continue talking in accordance with the client's request.

"What method?"

Hearing this, Shi Wanyu was no longer shy. She raised her head and looked intently at Chen Chun, whose upper body was standing in the shadows and whose expression was well-controlled.

"You go to this place...and then..."

Chen Chun could only sigh and reluctantly tell Shi Wanyu how to fulfill this wish.

"Will this really work?"

After hearing this, Shi Wanyu was somewhat skeptical.

"I've told you the method, but whether you can achieve this goal depends on your ability to take action."

After Chen Chun finished speaking, he also felt that the fate of today had come to an end. If he continued to speak, he was afraid that he would be punished by Karma for being too deliberate. So he could only shake his head slightly, turn around and disappear into the shadows.

Shi Wanyu was still somewhat incredulous and wanted to ask a few more questions, but when she caught up, she saw that Chen Chun's figure had already blended into the wall and disappeared from her sight.

"Is this even useful?"

In the end, Shi Wanyu remained skeptical. She looked at the card in her hand and left the museum.

After she disappeared, Chen Chun came out again.

She approached the Flowing Light Sword, took a few quick breaths, and finally managed to calm her shattered emotions.

After a long while, she bowed to the sword with a sigh of regret and then disappeared from the museum.

Chen Mobai was naturally unaware that someone was plotting against him in secret.

He was following Che Yucheng to the principal's office on the top floor of Building One.

This was his second time going there. When he enrolled before, Che Yucheng had taken him there as well. But at that time, all of them in the Spirit Transmutation Class used the principal's Crimson Heart Treasure Mirror illuminate their entire body's data and import it into the Formless Puppet Deduction.

But this time is different; it's a real meeting with the principal of the Wuqi Dao Academy, Venerable Cheng Xuan, one of the fourteen Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Sect.

This was the first time in Chen Mobai's life that he had met a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he was extremely excited.

Compared to him, Zhongli Tianyu beside him was much calmer.

These two were the ones who met with Venerable Cheng Xuan this time.

Among the graduation projects of the Class 5012, Venerable Cheng Xuan selected the two of them as winners and gave them the opportunity to refine the embryos of their Lifebound Artifact.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Finally, the three of them arrived at the principal's office, Che Yucheng politely knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A gentle and kind voice rang out in the room, Che Yucheng opened the office door.

Chen Mobai looked up and saw Venerable Cheng Xuan sitting behind his desk. He looked like a kind and gentle old man with a warm smile, short dark red hair, and an elegant demeanor.

"Hello, Principal."

After Che Yucheng greeted them, Chen Mobai immediately followed suit, bowing his head in greeting. Zhongli Tianyu was the last to greet them, but he was also very respectful.

Clearly, even someone of Zhongli Tianyu's status, a Nascent Soul cultivator, held genuine respect for them.

These are pioneers who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation. Even though they are both exceptionally talented, they still lack complete confidence in whether they can reach the level of Venerable Cheng Xuan in this lifetime.

Therefore, when Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu looked at Venerable Cheng Xuan, it was as if they were looking at a monument standing on a mountaintop.

I both respect and yearn for it.

"I am very satisfied with both of your graduation projects, so I plan to give you a reward. Ah Cheng has already told you about the reward, right?"

Who is Acheng?

Chen Mobai didn't react at first, but soon heard Che Yucheng cough.

"I still have some work to do, so I'll head down now."

After saying that, Che Yucheng left the office, closing the door behind him.

So it was his teacher! I never expected him to have such a young title.

"What kind of Natal Magic Tool embryo do you want? Xiao Chen, you tell me first."

Venerable Cheng Xuan spoke in a gentle tone, without any of the terrifying aura and majesty one might have imagined from a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was like a kind old neighbor having a heart-to-heart talk with them.

"I want to forge the Pure Yang Bell..."

After hearing this, Chen Mobai immediately expressed the idea that he had already decided in his heart.

"Hmm, not a bad choice. What are your plans regarding the materials?"

Venerable Cheng Xuan nodded, and then asked.

"I have some assets back in my hometown, which I can use as collateral to borrow money to buy Third Grade Red Copper. However, since only cultivators at the Core Formation or above are qualified to purchase Third Grade materials, I may need the help of the Dao Academy."

Chen Mobai would not do anything that might expose the Turtle Treasure in front of the Nascent Soul Master. If he wanted to refine the Pure Yang Bell, he would only honestly purchase the Third Grade Red Copper from the Immortal Sect through the most formal channels.

Do you have 100 credits?

After hearing this, Venerable Cheng Xuan smiled and asked another question.

"Yes, there are some, and even more."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled Ming Yihua had once said and instantly understood the principal's meaning. He couldn't help but show a look of surprise and answered.

"Among the Magic Artifact -Artifact Nurturing Sphere that Duanmu is keeping, there should be a Third Grade Red Copper magic weapon. You and I will go to the Myriad Treasures Cave later to exchange for a Artifact Piece to open that Artifact Nurturing Sphere. We should have enough materials by then."

"Yes, thank you, Principal."

As Chen Mobai his gratitude, Venerable Cheng Xuan turned to Zhongli Tianyu and asked him what kind of Treasure Embryo he desired.

"I have a mirror, so I don't want anything else."

However, Zhongli Tianyu said something that surprised them all.

"You should think this through carefully. Even if your Zhongli Clan chief asked me to refine it, I might not necessarily do it."

As Fifth Tier Artifact Refiner of the Immortal Sect, Venerable Cheng Xuan is qualified to say this.

Zhongli Tianyu shook his head, saying that he already felt overwhelmed by the task of maintaining the Eight Trigrams Mirror and simply didn't have the energy to acquire a second Natal Magic Tool.

"Specialization and uniqueness are not bad."

After hearing this, Venerable Cheng Xuan nodded and did not press the matter further.

"But since I've already asked, I should give you something in return. I'll help you refine the Eight Trigrams Mirror."

Zhongli Tianyu didn't shake his head at this.

"I'm taking you to the Myriad Treasures Cave, don't resist..."

At this moment, Venerable Cheng Xuan spoke, then came to the two of them and placed his hands on Chen Mobai and Zhongli Tianyu's shoulders.

After a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai felt as if he had clicked on the Turtle Treasure Teleportation, instantly Teleport from one place to another.

At that very moment, Chen Mobai's phone began to vibrate.

Turtle Treasure, which had been quiet for a long time, started popping up ads again.
