Chen Sanjiang has lived for nearly a hundred years and is a disciple of the Yushan Sect, the number one sect of cultivation. He has both vision and knowledge.
When the people of Shangqing Palace took out the Soul Net, they said that this Soul Net was the most precious treasure of their Shangqing Palace and it was extremely powerful.
Even if the person who delivered the Soul Net hadn't said anything, Chen Sanjiang could tell that this Soul Net wasn't just any magic weapon, but a spiritual treasure even more advanced than a magic weapon. Although Chen Sanjiang couldn't tell how powerful the soul threads on the Soul Net were, he could feel them! These gray soul threads possessed a power that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Chen Sanjiang would fear.
Not only that, the crystal ball is also a magic weapon. When combined with the Yushan Sect's "Luck-Sucking Array", it can monitor the luck of everyone in the "Luck-Sucking Array" within a hundred miles.
Logically speaking, Chen Sanjiang shouldn't have set up a vicious formation like the "Luck Sucking Formation" in the secular world, but who made him a member of the Cultivation Alliance? The Cultivation Alliance and Shangqing Palace had formed an alliance, and Shangqing Palace had already shown their great sincerity - giving away several powerful magic weapons of the Cultivation Alliance for free.
The Cultivation Alliance accepted the magic weapon from Shangqing Palace, so it had no way to refuse the request of Shangqing Palace.
Chen Sanjiang was sent to Kyoto City by Alliance Leader Lin Muchen three months ago. To gather the "luck" of the Shangqing Palace's leader, the Cultivation Alliance had even offered up one of their secular strongholds—the Qingxin Bar in Kyoto City.
Chen Sanjiang set up a "luck-sucking array" in the Qingxin Bar. Every guest who entered the bar would have a portion of their luck extracted by the "luck-sucking array" and stored in the jade gourd next to the crystal ball.
Chen Sanjiang was quite measured in his actions. He kept the power of his "Luck Absorbing Formation" very low, aiming for a steady and lasting outcome. With so many customers at the Qingxin Bar every day, if each of them lost a little bit of their luck, it wouldn't significantly change his life.
The jade gourd next to the crystal ball, containing the fortune, was a spatial magic weapon. While the jade gourd looked small, the space inside was actually quite large. Chen Sanjiang had secretly investigated it once, and found that to fill the jade gourd completely, the "luck-absorbing array" in the Qingxin Bar would have to operate for at least a hundred years.
If Chen Sanjiang could choose, he would definitely not do such a sinister thing. A person's luck is the foundation of their existence in the world. People with good luck will achieve twice the result with half the effort. For those with bad luck, even half the effort is a blessing from heaven.
Chen Sanjiang was very curious about Shangqing Palace.
Chen Sanjiang had seen the Soul Net, Crystal Ball, and Jade Gourd during his many years in the Yushan Sect. However, he had never even heard of a Soul Net.
But the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace took out such a precious magic weapon and gave it to his subordinates to use. This shows that Shangqing Palace must have a very deep foundation.
Chen Sanjiang was somewhat confused. Since Shangqing Palace had such a profound foundation, why did it collect the luck of these mortals? The luck of mortals was like a chicken rib to them, and except for nourishing things like the Soul-Nourishing Tree, it could not bless the cultivators themselves.
If the Heavenly Dao discovers that a cultivator is absorbing the luck of mortals, he will be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
However, looking at the golden glow on Wen Ziqing's head, Chen Sanjiang was truly envious. As far as Chen Sanjiang knew, whether it was cultivators or mortals, luck was divided into five levels: gold, purple, blue, white, and black. Among them, gold luck was the most valuable.
Those with golden luck are generally favored by heaven, able to achieve whatever they desire. Purple luck is also quite good; if they don't do bad things, they'll have a smooth life, at least achieving a high position, if not the highest rank. Cyan luck is rare, often seen as a leader in their field. White luck is average, representing an average life with neither good nor bad results. As for those with black luck, they are considered to have evil intentions. Such people usually end up with an untimely death.
Of course, this isn't absolute; the color of one's luck at birth might change to another color at death. Doing more good deeds is the only way to improve one's luck.
Otherwise, there would not be the saying in metaphysics that "fate comes first, luck comes second, and feng shui comes third".
Chen Sanjiang had tested himself with a crystal ball, and the energy mass above his head had only reached the white level. That was just ordinary people. Indeed, if Chen Sanjiang had golden-level energy, he wouldn't have been at the Foundation Establishment stage after nearly a hundred years of cultivation.
So, comparing yourself to others is the worst kind of thing, so he should just be an ordinary person! Practicing hard step by step is what ordinary people like him should do.
"Zeng Shijie!" Chen Sanjiang took another look at the dazzling golden color in the crystal ball, straightened up and shouted.
"Master Chen, I'm here." The door of the box opened and a young man with a smile on his face walked in.
"Zeng Shijie, tell me, how long have you seen this man enter the bar?" Chen Sanjiang pointed at Wen Ziqing in the crystal ball and asked.
Chen Sanjiang was from the Cultivation Alliance, but Zeng Shijie was a disciple of the Shangqing Palace. Unlike Chen Sanjiang, Zeng Shijie was not a cultivator, but a mortal.
According to Zeng Shijie himself, he was a minor steward of the outer gate of Shangqing Palace and was deeply trusted by the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace.
If the several magical weapons in this box had not been taken out by Zeng Shijie, Chen Sanjiang would have really doubted the truth of Zeng Shijie's words. The master of a palace in a cultivation sect is equivalent to the leader of the sect. How could he possibly value a mere mortal?
Zeng Shijie saw Chen Sanjiang asking about the golden ball. Although he didn't know what Chen Sanjiang's intention was, he didn't dare to neglect it. After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Zeng Shijie replied: "About... fifteen minutes ago, I saw a golden light appear in the crystal ball, so I quickly ran to your bedroom and woke you up."
Zeng Shijie felt a little indignant when he talked about this. It was clearly a two-person mission, so why did Chen Sanjiang treat him like a servant? Chen Sanjiang had him monitor the crystal ball all day long, while he himself went to sleep in the bedroom on the twelfth floor.
Chen Sanjiang didn't know Zeng Shijie would think of him this way, but even if he knew, Chen Sanjiang wouldn't care. Chen Sanjiang was sent to the secular world by Lin Muchen to work. The secular world was originally thin in spiritual energy. If he didn't seize the time to practice, how could his cultivation level improve?
As for asking Zeng Shijie to do something, Chen Sanjiang didn't take it seriously at all. In the eyes of a cultivator, mortals are nothing more than ants. If it weren't for the fact that Zeng Shijie was a "confidant" of the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace, Chen Sanjiang probably wouldn't even bother to talk to Zeng Shijie.
