Chapter 220: Chapter 218: Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil
"Master, I’ve finished cooking," Luo Xingya said happily.
Su Qing was already seated.
"Mhm, Xingya, bring it all out. Let’s see if your cooking has improved," Su Qing said with a smile.
"Yes, Master."
Once Luo Xingya had brought all the dishes out,
Su Qing spoke in a low voice, "Xingya, come here for a moment."
"Yes, Master." Luo Xingya walked over and stood before Su Qing.
Su Qing tapped a finger on Luo Xingya’s forehead.
A Secret Technique appeared in Luo Xingya’s mind.
"Master, what is this?" Luo Xingya asked, a little confused.
"Cultivate this Secret Technique and disrupt your fortune," Su Qing said.
"A guy just tracked you down. I got rid of him. To prevent this from happening again, you must cultivate this."
It wasn’t until that guy appeared yesterday that Su Qing realized such a great danger had been lurking by his side.
’And to think Xiaoqing kept insisting it was safe.’
’It was, for the most part.’
’But who knew if those old geezers had a Secret Technique for seeing through fortune?’
’If they found her, I’d be dragged down with her.’
"I’m sorry, Master." Luo Xingya’s voice filled with grievance as she apologized.
’I’ve caused trouble!’
"It’s fine. Focus on cultivating this Secret Technique for now."
Su Qing picked up his bowl and chopsticks and slowly ate the food Luo Xingya had made.
’It tastes alright, a little worse than my own cooking, but the most crucial part is that I don’t have to make it myself.’
’This, to me, is the best kind of servant.’
"Today’s events were your fault. As punishment, you are not allowed to go out until you’ve finished cultivating that Secret Technique."
"Now, go and cultivate."
"Yes, Master." Luo Xingya was deeply ashamed. She had caused her master trouble.
Her master hated trouble more than anything.
Her spirits low, Luo Xingya quickly left Su Qing’s side.
Luo Xingya left, leaving Su Qing to enjoy the meal alone.
Usually, Su Qing would have asked Luo Xingya to eat with him.
It was much quieter today. After taking a few large bites of several dishes, Su Qing used his Devouring Divine Technique to swallow the rest.
’A few bites are enough.’
’Time to synthesize the Destiny-Breaking Eye.’
"Replicate the Destiny-Breaking Eye once."
Replicating it once had no effect on Su Qing whatsoever.
’In that case, I’ll just replicate and synthesize.’
[Synthesis Successful: Standardization Triggered]
[Destiny-Breaking Eye: When you use the Destiny-Breaking Eye, you can consume Magical Power and fortune to see through another’s fortune. Additionally, against those with less fortune than you, you can use your own fortune to shatter theirs, causing it to drain away.]
’It’s starting.’
’Standardization produced something good.’
’It really is the Destiny-Breaking Eye.’
’The key is in the word ’Breaking’.’
’Obviously.’
He continued synthesizing.
[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]
[Destiny-Breaking Immortal Eye: When using this magic, you will consume your own Magical Power and fortune to see through another’s fortune. You can also use the Destiny-Breaking Immortal Eye to destroy the target’s fortune. If the target’s fortune is stronger than your own, you are susceptible to backlash.]
’Excellent.’
’This is the pace I was looking for.’
He continued to synthesize.
It was one Immortal Transformation after another.
Again.
The sixth time.
[Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil: When you use this magic, you consume your own Magical Power to see through the target’s fortune. You can also use fortune to destroy the target’s fortune. If the target’s fortune is vastly superior to your own, you are susceptible to backlash.]
"Excellent. I can see through others’ fortune without consuming any of my own."
Other than the one from Standardization, which seemed unchanged, Su Qing was already very fond of this magic.
It had already been synthesized and enhanced many times over.
Returning to his room, he gave the mental command.
"Extract."
After Su Qing thought the word, the Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil was consumed and absorbed by him.
Su Qing once again fell into a state of epiphany.
This was something that had undergone Immortal Transformation so many times, in addition to Standardization. It wasn’t an Immortal Technique before, but now it could certainly be considered one.
For a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Su Qing, it was a miracle he hadn’t been turned into an idiot from the influx of information.
...
「Three days later.」
Su Qing sat up, having already mastered the technique.
"Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil."
A wisp of his own Magical Power flickered in Su Qing’s eyes, and the entire world changed before him.
It was all fortune.
The fortune of people, and the fortune of all kinds of plants, stones, oceans, and islands.
Densely packed, in every color imaginable.
The whole world seemed to have transformed into something else entirely.
It was incomparably wondrous.
Su Qing looked toward the small house next to his own, where Luo Xingya resided.
Her fortune showed no change.
’Looks like this little girl’s Comprehension isn’t that great.’
Su Qing glanced over. Gold tinged with purple.
’This girl’s luck is just that good.’
Su Qing couldn’t see his own fortune.
He could only see that of others, and could even perceive the fortune of inanimate objects.
He waited. For a full day, the girl’s fortune remained unchanged.
And as long as it did, Su Qing’s mood wouldn’t improve.
About ten days passed like this.
Luo Xingya’s fortune suddenly changed. It was scrambled, transforming into a thin layer of azure fortune.
’Fantastic.’
’Tang Dan’s technique really is impressive.’
Once a person’s fortune is in chaos, who can tell if they have any real ability?
Even Su Qing, using his Illusory Fortune Immortal Pupil, could no longer tell what Luo Xingya’s fortune was truly like.
Because it genuinely scrambled one’s own fortune.
Crisis averted.
Su Qing breathed an inward sigh of relief.
At least he no longer had to worry about others discovering someone with powerful fortune here.
Just then, Luo Xingya came out, looking overjoyed.
"Master, I’ve successfully cultivated the Secret Technique!"
"Mhm, I see."
Su Qing nodded with a smile, patting the girl’s head as a reward.
Even though the girl was quite tall.
"Then, next you’ll continue to refine your Magical Power on your own."
"Understood?"
"Yes, Master. But... may I practice some calligraphy first?" Luo Xingya was very obedient, but she had been cultivating for a long time. She wanted a quiet break, even if it was just to practice her writing.
Cultivation could really drive a person mad from the confinement.
"That’s fine."
Su Qing nodded.
"I’ll be entering seclusion for a while soon." Su Qing thought, ’I’m already Demon Su, after all.’
’In that case, it’s about time the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land suffered a little.’
’Especially Ji Qianqiu.’
’This time, I’ll cast one more curse, then go to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land, toss an Immortal Stone onto their territory, and run.’
’I’m doing a good deed, after all.’
...
「In the seas of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land.」
Su Qing didn’t even need to wear his Black Cloak.
He was walking around under the guise of Le Wanjia.
It was very lively here, much more so than before.
"Senior Sister, why are you running so fast?" As a familiar voice reached him, Su Qing could feel many Cultivators moving aside.
Su Qing glanced over, just in time to meet their eyes.
Liu Linlin!
After their eyes met, Su Qing feigned ignorance, a hint of fear in his expression as he took a step back.
Luo Lanxin looked over as well.
"Senior Sister, what’s wrong?" Luo Lanxin asked Liu Linlin beside her.
Liu Linlin paused, then shook her head, though she thought to herself, ’That man looks like Junior Brother.’
’His aura is so similar, but he lacks Junior Brother’s sharp edge.’
’Besides, how could Junior Brother appear in the seas of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land?’
Liu Linlin gave a self-deprecating laugh. ’Why should I be worried about Junior Brother?’
’He’s so much stronger than me now.’
Luo Lanxin also found the man before them very strange.
He had an indescribable aura.
’But he’s so plain-looking. Surely Senior Sister wasn’t just attracted to this male cultivator?’
’A Foundation Establishment Cultivator with no Sect markings.’
’Just a Loose Cultivator.’
’My Senior Sister would definitely not be interested in him. Even if his aura is a bit strange, he’s so ordinary-looking.’
’The Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land is full of cultivators with high Cultivation and striking looks. I refuse to believe Senior Sister would be interested in him.’
