This sudden change left Jiang Feng at a loss. Jiang Feng stood up and said, "Master Dao, what do you mean? Is there no way to break it?"
Fatty Qiu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his nervously pounding heart. Then, he slowly spoke, "Your story is far too complex and bizarre for me to fathom. Unless... unless I were to sacrifice my life, which is obviously impossible. So, I'll give this thing back to you. Leave here quickly and pretend we've never met." As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Qiu began frantically packing his bag.
Jiang Feng paid no attention to Fatty Qiu's words. Without even glancing back, he strode straight toward Mingyue City. Watching Jiang Feng's figure gradually disappear, Fatty Qiu muttered to himself, "Oh my God! How could someone with such a bizarre fate exist in this world? It's simply unbelievable! Meeting him here today, I don't know if it's a blessing or a sign of disaster!" With this thought, Fatty Qiu suddenly had an idea and decided to have his own fortune told, to find out what the outcome of this encounter would be.
After a full day and night of non-stop travel, Jiang Feng finally reached the edge of Yuling Mountain. If he continued any further, he would have entered the territory governed by the Tianxing Sect. However, Jiang Feng didn't rush. With a thought, the Chaos Tear hidden within his body instantly transformed into an inconspicuous blade of grass. Immediately, Jiang Feng's figure flashed, disappearing into the blade of grass, and he began to rest and recuperate.
After a full night of rest, when the first ray of sunlight shone in the early morning, Jiang Feng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his whole body shot out from the grass like an arrow.
Just as Jiang Feng was about to move forward, a loud noise was heard in the distance. Jiang Feng concealed his presence and quietly lurked over.
At this time, several angry monks were surrounding a fat man in an open space.
One of them said, "Shencaizi, you liar, you told us that if we go east, we will get something, but we brothers didn't get anything and almost died there. Stop talking nonsense and pay me back."
Jiang Feng took a look and realized that this was none other than Qiu Baocai, the man who had told him his fortune.
Fatty Qiu scratched his head and said, "Brothers, please be reasonable. I don't deserve the title of Divine Calculator for nothing. If you go east, there will definitely be opportunities, but I didn't say there will be no danger. You are not as skilled as others and cannot obtain the results. Now you blame me, the Taoist priest. How can this be justified?"
Several people did not expect that this fat man was so eloquent, and for a moment they did not know how to answer. Just as they were thinking, Fatty Qiu flashed and fled in the direction where Jiang Feng was. Seeing this, several people shouted angrily: "Fatty, chase him!"
When Fatty Qiu was a few meters away from Jiang Feng, he suddenly said, "Brother, run!"
Jiang Feng, who had been hiding, was instantly exposed. The people chasing behind him became furious upon seeing this and launched all kinds of spell attacks on the two without any explanation!
These people were all in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Jiang Feng didn't want to fight with them for this fat man, so he activated the Qingyun Jue to quickly escape from the scene. At this moment, Jiang Feng discovered that the fat man's speed was actually several points faster than his own!
After a day of fleeing, they finally got rid of the group of people behind them. Fatty Qiu leaned against a tree, breathing heavily. Jiang Feng took out the Qingfeng Sword and stared at him with cold eyes.
Fatty Qiu smiled and said, "Oh, brother, you misunderstood. I was worried that you would be discovered by those scoundrels, which would be bad for you, so I spoke up to remind you."
Jiang Feng didn't believe his nonsense at all: "How did you find me?"
Fatty Qiu smiled and said, "How can anything in this world be hidden from me, the Taoist Master?!"
Jiang Feng put away the Qingfeng Sword and said, "I won't bother with you. Let's go our separate ways." Then he was about to leave.
Fatty Qiu saw Jiang Feng about to leave and suddenly stopped him, saying, "Young man, please stay. Do you know what kind of opportunity those people encountered but didn't get?"
Jiang Feng stopped and asked, "What?"
Fatty Qiu laughed and said, "Those idiots found the lair of a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator. It's a shame they couldn't defeat them, and they even lost a few lives."
Jiang Feng became interested upon hearing this: "What kind of demon beast is this in the God Transformation Stage? This area should be the territory of the Tianxing Sect. Why would they allow a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage to exist here?"
Fatty Qiu tilted his head back, gulped down a large gulp of liquor, smacked his lips, and slowly walked to a large, leafy tree, where he sat down. He narrowed his eyes, gazing at the faint outline of the mountain in the distance. He spoke slowly, "This beast is no ordinary creature! It's a hereditary beast—the Fire Ape. It's said that this beast possesses powerful bloodline power and mysterious inherited memories."
After a pause, Fatty Qiu continued, "And as far as I know, this fire ape has just appeared in Yuling Mountain recently. In my opinion, there must be some extraordinary treasure that is about to be unearthed here. After all, the ability of monsters to perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and treasures is much stronger than that of us humans! Especially ferocious beasts like the fire ape that carry inherited memories, the information they know is unimaginable for ordinary people." At this point, Fatty Qiu's face showed a trace of solemnity.
Jiang Feng listened quietly to Fatty Qiu's story, frowning slightly. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, you mean to invite me to go fight that fire ape together?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Qiu immediately burst into laughter, his laughter echoing throughout the empty forest. "Hahahahahaha, this young man is truly intelligent and sees things at a glance!"
However, Jiang Feng shook his head and answered decisively: "Not to mention that the fire ape is very powerful, even many cultivators in the God Transformation stage are helpless against it. I am just a small character in the Nascent Soul stage. If I go there rashly, wouldn't I be seeking my own death?" After that, Jiang Feng turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing Jiang Feng about to leave, Fatty Qiu quickly stood up to stop him, saying anxiously, "Don't worry, little brother! To be honest, I once had a fortune-teller tell me about this trip. The fortune-teller showed that if only you and I work together, the chances of success are far greater than the possibility of failure."
Jiang Feng pondered this inwardly. Although he was skeptical about the predictions made by the seemingly unreliable Fatty Qiu, the thought of potentially obtaining a precious treasure stirred a ripple deep within him. After much hesitation, Jiang Feng finally stopped and turned to look at Fatty Qiu, a flicker of determination in his eyes. "Okay, if that's the case, I'll trust you for once. But let me be frank: if things go badly, I won't foolishly risk my life."
