"Back then, when I visited Patriarch Chi Yun, I mentioned the situation in the Heaven Beyond Heaven..."

The old fortune teller began to tell the story.

"Wait, how many years ago was that? Ancestor Chi Yun is very old, old fortune teller, how old are you?"

Xiao Chen interrupted the old fortune teller again and asked.

"It was more than 30 years ago. Do you want to listen? If you interrupt me again, I won't say anything more!"

The old fortune teller glared.

"Okay, okay, you go first."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"When we talked about Tianwai Tian, we mentioned training disciples to deal with the situation in Tianwai Tian..."

The old fortune teller continued.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen wanted to ask something, but held back.

"He said he would take in another disciple, and I also said I would train someone."

The old fortune teller said slowly.

"At that time, we agreed that one day, the people we each trained would fight each other to see who was stronger."

"I?"

Xiao Chen understood and pointed at himself.

"Yes, it's you."

The old fortune teller nodded.

"A few days ago, I went to the Scarlet Cloud Realm and told him about the current situation. I also mentioned the bet we made that year... So, Chi Feng came out to fight you."

"So that's how it is."

Xiao Chen nodded, and then thought of something.

"By the way, Chi Feng said that he was taken away from an orphanage. He is older than me. Does the time of your agreement not match?"

"What's wrong? After the agreement was made, he found Chifeng, but I never met someone who satisfied me. Many years passed until I met you."

The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Oh, I see. This way, it will match up."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"But aren't you afraid that you will be a few years late and the people you train won't be as good as the ones trained by Patriarch Chiyun?"

"It doesn't mean that just because you are older and have practiced for a long time, you will definitely be stronger."

The old fortune teller shook his head.

"Haha, speaking of this, you are really good at recognizing talent. You saw that I was extremely talented back then."

Xiao Chen was somewhat pleased with himself.

"Heh...what did you look like at that time? Didn't you count it yourself?"

The old fortune teller sneered.

"You can't even practice, and you have talent..."

"Well... then why did you choose me?"

Xiao Chen frowned. This was indeed the case. He truly rose to prominence after coming to Longhai.

Before that, he couldn't practice ancient martial arts at all.

So it’s not very realistic to talk about talent.

"It's fate that we met."

The old fortune teller thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Besides, I can read faces."

"Can you see that I will become a great man in the future?"

Xiao Chen smiled again.

“Late bloomer, huh?”

"You either grow up and soar, or you die."

The old fortune teller shook his head.

"It turns out that your crisis with Naga was just a hurdle... and you stepped over it."

Hearing the old fortune teller's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. What about that?

"He died a violent death... Lao Su, he died for me."

Xiao Chen's voice was a little low.

"If Chifeng doesn't leave, you can keep him by your side. He is quite strong and will be helpful to you."

The old fortune teller changed the subject. He knew that Xiao Chen might never get over what happened to the Naga in his lifetime.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and put away his thoughts.

"Old fortune teller, I heard that the Chiyun Patriarch's sect is very powerful? If something really happens, will they come to help?"

"Yes, no one can be immune."

The old fortune teller nodded.

"I heard that Patriarch Chi Yun has some old friends. You should know them all, right? Are they also very strong?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

"Don't think too much, what is coming will come naturally."

The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen and chuckled.

"Back then, when I asked Patriarch Chi Yun to train another disciple, it was actually for today's sake... You should have some people around you to help you. Bai Xiaozi and the others are still a little weak and need time to grow."

"Did you consider this at the time?"

Xiao Chen was surprised.

"Have you arranged some staff for me?"

"It's not arranged for you, but for the strongest."

The old fortune teller shook his head.

"If you can't beat Chi Feng, do you think he will still follow you? By then, you might be the one following someone else."

"Uh... okay."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Apart from Chi Feng, is there anyone else to tell the old fortune? Do you have 30 to 50 innate masters ready for me to follow? If not, let them come and fight me. The strong will be respected!"

"Thirty or fifty? What else do you want?"

The old fortune teller was speechless.

"What about those who have 10 or 8 if there are not 30 or 50?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

“Neither do I.”

The old fortune teller shook his head.

"Not everyone likes to train disciples..."

"All right."

Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. He thought there would be many more powerful innate people around him.

"Don't put your hopes on others. Even if it's the Scarlet Cloud Ancestor, he won't leave the Scarlet Cloud Realm until the critical moment... In fact, he has already become independent."

The old fortune teller said slowly.

"I see."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."

"Well, just know this truth."

The old fortune teller smiled.

"Don't think too much, just do what you should do... I am looking forward to the moment when you obtain the Essence of Earth and the Essence of Water and build your divine foundation."

"The spirit of earth and the spirit of water... Old fortune teller, if you find out where they are, remember to let me know."

Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and said.

"I don't want you to take risks for me all the time, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"Haha, do you still need to tell me this?"

The old fortune teller chuckled.

"I'm serious, remember to tell me."

Xiao Chen was serious.

The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you when I find out."

"good."

Xiao Chen smiled and chatted with the old fortune teller.

He asked a lot of questions, and the old fortune teller answered them one by one, especially those about cultivation.

After seeing Xiao Chen create a simplified version of the clone, the old fortune teller no longer dared to let him do any research.

This time we are researching a simplified version, what about next time?

What if you take the wrong path or go astray?

"The old king of Siam has a very powerful spiritual consciousness, and it is quite difficult for you to make your soul undergo a qualitative change nowadays."

The old fortune teller said slowly.

"If you can build a divine foundation, then it won't be a problem. Now you're still a little short of it."

"I originally wanted to devour the bull-headed monster to see if it could cause a qualitative change in my soul. What a pity."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"Don't try it recklessly. If you make a mistake, it will be more serious than a problem with your body."

The old fortune teller reminded.

"As for your simplified clone, try not to use it if you can. If you use it too much, it will cause irreversible damage to your soul."

"I don't want to, but... I have to use it every time."

Xiao Chen was helpless.

"Anyone who can allow me to use my external divine power must be a strong person, at least not weaker than me... In a life-and-death battle, do I still care if there is any damage? I have to survive first."

“…”

The old fortune teller was speechless, but he couldn't refute it because there was nothing wrong with it.

"If it weren't for the incarnation, we wouldn't be able to meet today."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"But I will be more careful next time. Using the spirit outside the body is still very painful, and the sequelae are too serious."

"Um."

The old fortune teller nodded.

"Is there anything you don't understand about cultivation?"

"Yes, there are... You didn't care before, so I had to figure it out on my own."

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and asked a lot more questions.

The old fortune teller did not fool around this time and answered all the questions one by one.

Xiao Chen felt that he had gained a lot. His previous random thoughts were always specious and not necessarily correct.

Now when I listen to what the old fortune teller says, I feel like I have been enlightened.

"Old fortune teller, if you had done this earlier, I might have established my foundation a long time ago."

Xiao Chen curled his lips.

"What you eat yourself is different from what others feed you."

The old fortune teller shook his head.

"Think about it first, and then I'll tell you, you'll gain more... Besides, what I tell you may not be suitable for you, so you still have to think more about it yourself."

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Chen nodded and looked at the time.

"It's time for lunch. After lunch, let's go to the pit this afternoon."

"good."

The old fortune teller took a sip of tea.

During lunch, Xiao Chen invited Jiang Lingyun and others.

"Old Immortal, please come visit Lingxiao Sect again when you have time."

Jiang Lingyun extended an invitation to the old fortune teller.

"Haha, okay, next time I go to see Xiao Yuanzi, I'll definitely call you."

The old fortune teller laughed.

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Lingyun nodded quickly.

"Second Elder, are you leaving this afternoon too?"

Xiao Chen asked Fang Liang.

"Yes, Gao Nian is dead. There are still many things to do in Qingyan Sect. I have to go back as soon as possible."

Fang Liang nodded.

He was one of the people who knew the inside story, but he didn't know it all.

For example, he didn't know that the teleportation array on the Dufeng Mountain was fake and thought it was a real teleportation array.

He didn't expect that Xiao Chen would set up a fake teleportation array in order to deceive Gao Nian.

"Haha, Second Elder, don't forget about the Azure Dragon Secret Realm."

Xiao Chen reminded.

"I plan to arrange for someone from Longmen to go in and take a look."

“…”

Fang Liang was speechless. Why couldn't he forget this?

Still, he nodded.

It’s not easy to go back on your promise.

The main thing is that the Qingyan Sect no longer dares to offend Longmen.

Even though Xiao Chen smiled at him, he knew very well that if their Qingyan Sect did not recognize the Qinglong Secret Realm, this kid would turn against them immediately.

"Haha, that's settled then."

Xiao Chen laughed. Although he was no longer very interested in the Qinglong Secret Realm, he would definitely gain something by letting the people from Longmen go in and take a look.

In addition, not only people from Longmen, but also Bai Ye and others can go.

After lunch, Jiang Lingyun and the others left.

Xiao Chen and his companions packed up briefly, then went back to Dufeng, went down the cliff, and came to the pit.

"The old fortune teller is down there."

Xiao Chen said.

"Let's go."

The old fortune teller nodded and walked down slowly.

Xiao Chen and his group followed closely behind, and the group fell down.

Soon, they landed on the stone platform.

The old fortune teller's eyes swept across the bones on the ground and fell on the transmission platform. He couldn't help but frowned slightly.

——

Updated at noon, but the schedule was set wrong, it was set at 12 noon on the 6th, so it's even later.

This chapter in the evening will be updated earlier, at an irregular schedule.

Sorry sorry.
