Then she began bustling about.
Seeing this, Wang Jianmin stepped forward to help without hesitation. They worked together like an old married couple who had known each other for years.
"The master really didn't steer me wrong!"
As time passed.
Wang Jianmin occasionally felt that he could finally "perform." He had never been able to before, but now he could proudly tell everyone that he could, too!
The next day.
Lin Fan got up early. Looking toward the door, he calculated on his fingers and smiled faintly. "Wang Jianmin's fate has changed. Looks like things are going well with his first love."
Chapter 26: Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation!
He burned incense and bathed.
Lin Fan was just about to open his doors to customers when he heard a commotion outside.
Opening the door a crack, he saw streamers holding up their phones, livestreaming his front entrance.
"Folks, this is Taihe Street! Master Lin lives in the shop right in front of me!"
"Send those gifts! Once we hit a hundred rockets, I'll go knock on his door and wake Master Lin up!"
Oh no!
My location's been exposed!
Lin Fan hurriedly shut the door. Opening for business was hardly a bad thing, but he knew his limits. He had accumulated fewer than two thousand points yesterday, not enough to improve his abilities.
Just like yesterday, he could only manage to change the fates of three people at most.
Now that people knew his location, visitors would probably arrive in an endless stream. He would work himself to death.
"No, I have to come up with something."
Lin Fan frowned. He had known this day would come.
But he hadn't expected it to come so soon.
[System, check my Heavenly Secrets Points and open the shop.]
[Understood. Opening the shop for the host immediately.] [Host, you currently have 2,100 Heavenly Secrets Points. You may redeem them or make purchases in the system shop.]
As soon as the system finished speaking.
Lin Fan's gaze went straight to the formations category.
Formations: Graft-and-Transplant Formation: 1,100 Heavenly Secrets Points Star-Shifting Formation: 1,500 Heavenly Secrets Points Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation: 2,000 Heavenly Secrets Points True God Five Thunder Formation: 4,900 Heavenly Secrets Points ...
Lin Fan carefully examined the function of each formation before finally settling on the Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation.
Once he set up the Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation, no one would be able to enter his shop easily.
With a simple tap, he spent two thousand Heavenly Secrets Points.
The Heavenly Secrets Points he had worked so hard to accumulate all day vanished in an instant, leaving only a hundred.
"This is so hard."
Lin Fan smiled bitterly to himself. Rather than waste the remaining hundred Heavenly Secrets Points, he tapped the Lucky Spin.
The next moment.
A pleasant voice rang out.
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained mastery of Artifact Refining.] [This skill may be used without limit and has no side effects. It requires no Heavenly Secret Points to use and is exclusive to the host.]
"Artifact Refining?"
Lin Fan swallowed. The system was treating him far too well. Right after purchasing the Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation, he had discovered that setting it up required certain magical artifacts.
And he hadn't known how to make magical artifacts.
Now that he had obtained Artifact Refining, he could easily set up the Seven-Star Soul-Confusing Formation.
"Time to buy materials!"
Lin Fan withdrew all his earnings from three days of livestreaming, grabbed his bank card, and slipped out the back door.
Then he headed to the antiques street next to Taihe Street.
The antiques street was much livelier than Taihe Street. Taihe Street was lined with feng shui and fortune-telling shops, with hardly anyone around.
The antiques street, on the other hand, was packed with all kinds of people buying and selling.
Before long.
Lin Fan arrived at a jade shop specializing in high-end jade, which attracted relatively few customers.
However, the owner was on good terms with Lin Fan.
As soon as Lin Fan entered, the owner spotted him and immediately stood up with a smile. "Lin, what brings you to my shop?"
"I'm here to pick out some jade, Boss Qin," Lin Fan replied.
Buying jade?
The owner looked startled. He had often visited Lin Fan before and knew very well that his fortune-telling shop wasn't doing particularly good business.
Even a single piece of jade here cost at least four figures.
"Lin, you're not joking, are you? You're really here to give me some business?"
"I'm not joking. Boss Qin, bring out the jade you have priced in the five figures."
Lin Fan smiled faintly. Over three days of livestreaming, quite a few wealthy viewers had sent him rockets. Buying a few five-figure pieces of jade wouldn't be difficult.
Besides, jade used to make magical artifacts couldn't be too poor in quality. Naturally, inferior jade wouldn't produce any results.
Hearing this.
The owner asked no further questions. He turned around and took several pieces of jade out of the display case.
"Fine jade!"
Lin Fan's eyes brightened. Using the Qi-Observing Technique, he saw a strange glow emanating from each piece of jade.
Clearly, all this Jade met his requirements!
"Brother Qin, I'll take them all."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Fan took out his bank card and placed it in front of the owner.
The owner froze for a moment. When he recovered, he couldn't help saying, "There are seven pieces of Jade here, worth about six hundred thousand altogether. Are you sure you want them all?"
The owner had seen plenty over the years and had even handled seven-figure deals.
But he remembered that Lin Fan hadn't been particularly wealthy. Now he was buying six hundred thousand yuan's worth of jade after a single glance, which left the owner a little uneasy.
"That's right. Boss Qin, please wrap them all up. I'm in a bit of a hurry."
Lin Fan shrugged. His livestreaming income hadn't reached six hundred thousand, but he already had some savings. Together with his livestream earnings, he had just about enough to cover the purchase.
"All right."
Seeing Lin Fan's determined gaze, the owner felt he shouldn't say any more. He wrapped up the pieces of jade, then swiped the card and issued an invoice.
After handing the jade to Lin Fan, the owner smiled. "Five hundred thousand, a special price for a friend. Lin, if you've found a way to strike it rich, don't forget to bring me along!"
Hearing this.
Lin Fan quietly warned him, "Boss Qin, stay out of the shop for the next half hour. Otherwise, you might suffer a bloody disaster."
With that, he turned and left.
By the time the owner reacted, Lin Fan was already nowhere to be seen.
"Stay out of the shop?"
The owner thought it over and over but couldn't imagine how he might suffer a bloody disaster.
Then he remembered that Lin Fan's master was quite a famous fortune-teller.
Lin Fan must have inherited some of his skills. Better to believe the warning than dismiss it.
After hesitating for a moment, he called an employee over to watch the shop, then left the jade shop and headed home.
Half an hour later.
The owner received a call from his employee. Someone had trashed the jade shop, and the employee had even been beaten badly enough to end up in the hospital.
The reason was simple. A while back, he had sold someone a piece of poor-quality jade at a high price.
After finding out, the buyer had brought a group over to smash up the shop.
"Lin Fan wasn't lying!"
The owner hung up, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Fortunately, he had heeded Lin Fan's warning. Otherwise, he would probably have been the one in the hospital now.
"Incredible! He actually predicted that I'd suffer a bloody disaster within half an hour."
"No, I have to take him some gifts and thank him!"
Gritting his teeth, the owner took a piece of jade he had treasured for decades out of his safe and hurried toward Taihe Street.
