My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2129: Chapter 2097: The Fortune Teller and the Medicine Seller

When Li Chen led the two people into the hall, he realized that this wedding banquet was indeed quite high-grade.

The interior was truly meant for ’welcoming guests,’ while the exterior was just for dealing with the surface, giving Heaven Sea Alliance some face, and the offerings were of the lowest level.

It was just like the ’banquet’ Li Chen attended back in Baiyue City, but compared to that, this one in Yantian City was much more high-grade, with lower-rank spiritual wines and some low-level spirit fruits, considered as welfare for the lowest tier of Martial Artists.

Inside here was where true hospitality was extended.

Casually picking up a spirit fruit and biting into it, Li Chen glanced at Jing Invincible beside him and found Jing Invincible’s expression calm, without any reaction.

Obviously, he genuinely didn’t care anymore about that woman who maliciously approached him just to steal the Secret Technique from him.

"Master, what should we do next?" At this moment, Xiao Chihan looked at Li Chen and couldn’t help but ask quietly.

"Do what? We’re not really friends with them. There’s nothing worthwhile about attending this lousy wedding banquet. Of course, next up is causing trouble," Li Chen said naturally.

"Causing trouble..." Xiao Chihan nearly said it out loud but managed to cover his mouth just in time, whispering it to himself. He knew the people here had strong cultivation levels, and although there were many, if he spoke out, everyone would definitely hear.

At that moment, Li Chen noticed a small group not far away. Among them was one person, the center of attention, loudly conversing with those around him. After listening for a moment, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile and strode over there.

Jing Invincible gave Li Chen an expressionless look.

Although he didn’t know what Li Chen was up to, if Li Chen said he would ’cause trouble,’ then he definitely would.

Even though he hadn’t known Li Chen for very long, only during the time at the Hundred Clans Battlefield, he had come to understand Li Chen’s character to some extent.

"Celestial mechanics are a very mysterious thing, involving the supreme rules of the cosmos’ operation. Legend has it that at the very center of the cosmos, there’s a true ’Heart of the Universe,’ also known as the ’Heavenly Heart.’ We exist to contemplate the Heavenly Heart. Of course, celestial mechanics cannot be revealed. Even if one knows many secrets, they cannot be disclosed, unless one is powerful enough, or else the supreme cosmic will would extinguish them directly."

Within the small circle, someone was speaking loudly.

Among cultivators, there are ’Three Not to Be Provoked,’ and these are quite highly ranked, because offending a powerful Martial Artist is nowhere near as troublesome as offending this kind of person.

Offending a Martial Artist might result in a life-or-death battle.

But if you offend one of these Three Not to Be Provoked, you might suddenly find yourself dead without even realizing it, and often, for Martial Artists, these ’Three Not to Be Provoked’ are extremely influential.

Standing within the circle was a ’Heavenly Master’ proficient in Bagua Computation of the I Ching.

The surrounding people were constantly flattering him, listening to the young ’Heavenly Master’ as he expounded at length, creating a particularly lively atmosphere.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came from the side: "What the heck is the Heavenly Heart? I believe more strongly that man can conquer heaven!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly cooled, and everyone simultaneously looked toward the direction of the voice.

They saw a young man leisurely walking towards them.

"If the Heavenly Heart is really so effective, then Martial Artists wouldn’t need to cultivate. We could all rely on luck. Maybe someone favored by the ’Heavenly Heart’ could sit at home and be hit by a Divine Fruit from the heavens, then smoothly traverse the path to greatness," Li Chen said leisurely.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the young Heavenly Master seemed angered and looked at Li Chen, shouting in anger, "Ignorant! The Heavenly Heart is just the rule of cosmic operation. Martial Artists need effort, but can you deny that luck is also a part of strength? The Heavenly Heart determines everyone’s luck!"

Li Chen shrugged: "In the end, it’s still about everyone trying their hardest, isn’t it? If you can achieve it through effort, what do you need that Heavenly Heart for?"

"Nonsense!" The Heavenly Master yelled angrily.

"Fortune-teller, I think you’re the one spewing nonsense," Li Chen retorted with an old-stone demeanor.

"Fortune... Fortune-teller?" The Heavenly Master’s eyes widened. Although his Bagua and I Ching were indeed fortune-telling, at least people wouldn’t call it that directly. They would use a more elegant title, otherwise, his title as a Heavenly Master wouldn’t exist.

"I’m a fortune-teller, then what are you?!" The young Heavenly Master glared at the troublemaking fellow who had inexplicably come over.

"Me?" Li Chen casually took out two top-grade pills and tossed them: "A pill seller."

The crowd: "..."

It turned out this guy wasn’t just targeting the Heavenly Master; this was his usual demeanor.

Seeing the two pills in Li Chen’s hand, many people’s eyes widened. Clearly, these two pills were quite extraordinary. Not to mention the top-grade quality, which ordinary people couldn’t achieve. Moreover, someone immediately recognized those two pills: "Doyi Pill!"

Doyi Pill, also known as Ant-Fight Pill, is said to grant one ant-like strength, maximally tempering the Martial Artist’s physique. For Body Refinement Experts, it is an immensely powerful Top-Level Pill, and both are top-grade!

Seeing Li Chen casually tossing around two Doyi Pills, many people’s eyes widened, wishing they could rush up and strangle Li Chen, then take the two Top-Level Pills for themselves.

However, upon hearing Li Chen refer to himself as a ’pill seller,’ no one dared to entertain such thoughts anymore. Even those who previously wanted to assist the Heavenly Master in reprimanding Li Chen displayed odd expressions and lost their desire to speak up.

This wasn’t just a pill seller; this might be a Top Level Heavenly Pill Master!

At this moment, many people noticed the commotion here and cast curious glances.

A Heavenly Pill Master and a Heavenly Master adept at computation were about to face off?

Great spectacle!

Everybody knows that neither kind of person is easy to provoke, but now they are facing off, making it even more enjoyable!

These people, although attending the wedding banquet, are pretty bored with fake smiles plastered on their faces all the time. Martial Artists still prefer direct confrontations.

Seeing an entertaining spectacle, many quickly gathered around.

"A pill seller..." The Heavenly Master gritted his teeth: "I can discern destiny and predict fate. How can you prove your point of view?"

He truly wasn’t a Jianghu fraudster but actually skilled, though also a bookworm solely focused on research. Hearing Li Chen’s words, he didn’t mind Li Chen’s attitude but instead emphasized his own point of view.

Li Chen looked strangely at this Heavenly Master, oddly feeling he seemed somewhat familiar.

"Of course I have a way to prove it. How about we place a wager? See whose Heavenly Heart is more accurate, or whether my belief in man conquering heaven is more effective?"
