The Little Broken House's First Fate Star
When I was eight years old, I played carefree in the large courtyard house with five courtyards.
At the age of twelve, he threw down his books and ran to the gambling den.
I married my current wife when I was twenty.
At the age of twenty-two, he relied on elixirs to accumulate his True Essence to the Eighth Rank, barely passing the Azure Cloud Examination, Principal Ninth Rank exam.
In his middle age, Pang Mingjing, relying on the skills he learned from childhood to read people's expressions and adapt to changing circumstances, fully embodied the Fate Mold of Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might's power.
"His 'Peach Blossoms Filling the Branches' is useless to me, but the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure' is Fate Mold. As for the Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might tiger's power,' it's hard to say for sure. After all, Fate Star is Fate Star, and Fate Pattern is Fate Pattern chart. Many ordinary Fate Star can exert unimaginable power within Fate Pattern. Unfortunately, Fate Pattern and Fate Spirit are profound subjects. Even my maternal grandfather didn't learn much about them. I only know some names, but I know very little about the specific details."
Having completed his Fate Observation and Qi Gazing, Li Qingxian pondered deeply.
Pang Mingjing stood there, motionless.
He also had some understanding of Fate Arts and knew very well that low-level Fate Arts Master could only target ordinary people, especially newly promoted Fate Arts Master, who found it difficult to use true Fate Arts.
If Fate Arts were so easy to learn and use, there would Fate Arts Master all over the world.
He snorted coldly and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Qingxian pondered for a moment, focused his mind on his Fate Mansion, and used his magic to create a small figure holding a golden fishing rod.
"Life and death, premature death and longevity are called fate; prosperity and decline, poverty and success are called fortune..."
After reciting the Life-Hunting Art for the first time, a Fortune Fish disappeared, transforming into a long bridge of white mist that soared into the sky, shattering the void and opening a blue vortex gate.
Behind the gate, Pang Mingjing's Fate Mansion was revealed.
Li Qingxian channeled his magic into the Fate Fishing Rod and cast the hook.
Call...
The fishing hook made a slight whooshing sound as it flew along the Fortune-Movement Bridge, entered the gate of Pang Mingjing's Fate Mansion, and flew towards the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure Fate Star.
At the same time, six stars appeared in the void outside Pang Mingjing 'Fate Mansion, emitting a faint light.
When the dark gold fishing hook was three feet away from the Fate Star, an invisible wind blew by, causing the fishing hook to deviate and droop softly.
Previously, the fishing hook would only encounter interference when it came within about a foot of the Fate Star.
Li Qingxian looked up at the six stars.
"No wonder he has Fate Mold for wealth and honor; he even has a lucky Human Fate Star protecting him."
Li Qingxian reeled in his fishing hook, but instead of immediately fishing, he mentally recorded all the power and changes he had just witnessed.
These changes and powers were originally only attainable by Grand Fate Arts Master through experience and deduction.
Next, Li Qingxian continued to cast his line and record the various forces and changes, distinguishing whether they were from his Fate Ground, his Fate Pillar, his Fate Mold, his benefactor, or other forces, in order to accumulate experience for the future.
Even late into the night, the fishing hook failed to strike Pang Mingjing's Fate Star.
However, the fishing hook has already reached within half a foot of the Fate Star, a significant improvement.
Li Qingxian opened his tired eyes and found the others slumped over, with Pang Mingjing sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, half asleep.
Yu Ping was fast asleep, slumped over the table. Han Anbo looked exhausted, but still gripped the hilt of his knife, staring at Pang Mingjing.
"It's night, everyone should rest now," Li Qingxian said.
Everyone got to work.
As Fan Xing followed him out of Cell C-7, he whispered, "When you were using your Fate Arts, a friend told me that Ge Chao found several officials from the Imperial Prison Bureau and two acquaintances who were also Imperial Prison Bureau, accusing you of misconduct, Life Buying, and disrupting the order of the Imperial Prison, and demanding that you leave the Imperial Prison Bureau."
"What did the Daren say?"
"Some people just laughed it off and didn't bother with it, while others went to Daren Zhou, but Daren Zhou said that Zhang Fugui would take responsibility if anything happened, since he owes so many favors. Now, seven favors have been used, and there are still nineteen left," Fan Xing said.
Li Qingxian asked, "Does Ge Chao have any other methods?"
Fan Xing hesitated, and Han Anbo said, "I'm afraid he'll tear off his mask in the Directors' Hall and directly criticize you. The Imperial Prison Bureau is a crucial place; if things escalate to the Directors' Hall, it could escalate to the imperial court, with very serious consequences."
"When will Daren Zhang Fugui return?" Li Qingxian asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Never mind Ge Chao then, we'll talk about it later."
Li Qingxian was busy all day, and went straight to bed as soon as he got home.
Upon opening his eyes, Li Qingxian was forced to go out with the Night Guard. After disguising himself, he went to various places in the Divine Capital to identify people.
They spent the entire day trying to recognize him, until late at night, but still couldn't identify the mysterious Daren.
After waking up, Li Qingxian was forced to identify people again.
This time, not only were the Night Guard mobilized, but the Inner Factory also joined in, conducting a larger-scale screening.
It wasn't until evening that Li Qingxian recognized the person.
That person wasn't an Upper Rank or Middle Rank official at all; a dignified Third Rank expert was actually disguised as a Seventh Rank official in the Ministry of Justice of the Devil Sect.
It turned out that the person not only wore a mask but also disguised himself, changing his eyebrows and eyes. He was wearing someone else's boots and clothes, and only the mole on his ring finger was not concealed.
Back at the Night Guard Yamen, Li Qingxian went straight to cell number seven, only to be stopped by two Eighth Rank Imperial Prison officials. He forced them aside by showing Zhou Chunfeng's waist token and continued his attempt to kill.
I spent the whole night fishing but still didn't catch anything.
The closer the fishing hook is to the Fate Star, the greater the interference it will receive. At this rate, it won't be completed in less than ten days to half a month.
The main problem is that Pang Mingjing has a powerful patron protecting him.
Li Qingxian knew some methods, but either the required Fate Material were expensive, or his own rank was too low to use powerful Fate Arts.
That evening, Li Qingxian came up with a seemingly harmless plan.
Early the next morning, Li Qingxian instructed Han Anbo to spread rumors that Pang Mingjing was suspected of sabotaging the cooperation between the Night Guard and the Inner Factory, and that the Inner Factory was going to take action against Pang Mingjing and even investigate the root of the problem. He also asked the eunuch Jing Guan to help him by going to Cell C-7 and berating Pang Mingjing, so that the rumors would spread throughout the Night Guard.
In the afternoon, Li Qingxian went straight to Chunfeng Residence and asked Zhou Chunfeng to send an inquiry letter to the Finance Office to ask what was going on.
Wei Yong personally visited Pang Mingjing, implying that he had no further relationship with Pang Mingjing and would never offend the Inner Factory for his sake.
With everything settled, Li Qingxian returned to Cell C-7).
Pang Mingjing is mentioned separately.
Pang Mingjing remained silent.
Li Qingxian Fate Observation and Qi Gazing, consuming the Fortune Fish to build Fortune-Movement Bridge.
Upon closer inspection, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Six stars originally hung in the void outside Pang Mingjing 'Fate Mansion, but now only one remains, dim and lifeless.
A brief deduction reveals that the Fate Star is a relative of Pang Mingjing.
Li Qingxian cast his fishing rod again, and on his first try, he landed on the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure.
"Good!"
Li Qingxian didn't let his guard down and continued practicing until he could catch fish every time. Only then did he consume a Fortune Fish and send it into the Fate Star "Duckweed in a Chaotic Age in Chaotic Times" that he had bought earlier, and then hooked the Duckweed in a Chaotic Age in Chaotic Times onto the dark gold fishing hook.
In Duckweed in a Chaotic Age shrinks, shrinking to the size of a tiny star, no bigger than a thumb.
Li Qingxian cast his fishing rod.
The fishhook and the little star traced a graceful arc, landing precisely on the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure Fate Star.
Then the little star wrapped around the fishhook, plunged into the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure, and hooked it firmly.
With a gentle lift, Li Qingxian sent the entire Fate Star flying back, hovering above the artificial hill.
In the Duckweed in a Chaotic Age disappears, Golden Toad Bearing Treasure.
"The Little Broken House is finally about to welcome its first Fate Star!"
Li Qingxian was overjoyed. With a thought, he saw the Golden Toad Bearing Treasure Fate Star fly into his Fate Mansion and land on his year Fate Pillar, hovering motionless.
An indescribable aura filled the Fate Mansion.
The feeling is like breathing in too much exhaust fumes in the city and suddenly appearing in a vast forest far from the hustle and bustle, taking a deep breath and letting the fragrance of grass and trees fill your whole body, wonderfully refreshing.
The surface of the Little Broken House gleamed with a faint light.
It's subtle, but it definitely exists.
Li Qingxian grinned.
All those days of hard work paid off.
Finally, I've been blessed with a Fate Mold.
Li Qingxian glanced at the Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might- Fate Star; if it was easy to catch, then he would fish it out.
This Fate Star has a mediocre effect; its key purpose is to cut off Pang Mingjing's last chance.
So Li Qingxian continued fishing.
The Golden Toad Bearing Treasure is in the Youth Fate Ground, while the Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might is in the Middle-Aged Fate Ground; with the change of position, all the power changes accordingly.
However, Li Qingxian has accumulated a wealth of experience over the past few days.
As the city lights came on, the second fishing attempt was a success.
