Li Qingxian seemed to grasp something and smiled faintly.
Magical power surged through his hand. Using the most basic Fortune-Measuring Technique, he cast the die in his hand.
Measure this as six.
The die landed with six facing upward.
The stone figure hopped lightly and landed on the martial arts school.
All nine other compounds vanished.
The mist farther ahead dispersed, revealing ten new squares.
A Fate Star appeared on each square.
The second step: choose a Fate Star.
The Fate Stars had initially been hazy, but a glance with Li Qingxian's Spirit Eye brought them all into sharp focus.
The corners of Li Qingxian's mouth lifted slightly. Without a powerful Spirit Eye or a special Fate Artifact, he would have had to expend magical power to deduce the Fate Stars one by one. If he exhausted too much of it, the three trials later on would become calamities.
From nearest to farthest, the ten Fate Molds were Forging a Fine-Iron Sword; Deep Roots, Lush Foliage; Tiny Scales Hiding in the Grass; Blazing Furnace Fire; Mountain Range Across the Divide; Rusty Sword Ground Anew; Towering Tree Supports the Heavens; Great River and Floodwaters; True Fire in the Cauldron; and Ten Elegant Peaks.
Li Qingxian examined the ten Fate Stars one by one, continually considering their characteristics and what effects they would produce if placed in the Fate Gentleman's Fate Mansion.
Two Metal Fate Stars are already enough. Any more Metal Fate, and excessive rigidity will make him snap.
Metal restrains wood, so wood is out. Fire restrains metal, but a small fire refines metal...
Although metal generates water, this man's Metal Fate is primary and his Water Fate secondary. Choosing water would put the branch before the root...
*Overall, an Earth Fate or a Small Fire Fate would be best,
