Chapter 16 Supreme Treasure and the Stinky Scoundrel 2
Chen Jinghai initially appeared nonchalant, only showing astonishment upon hearing the words "innately disabled fate." However, when his old chieftain pointed at him, he suddenly realized what was happening, pointed back at himself, and opened his mouth to say "I," only to find himself suddenly mute and unable to utter a word.
Why can an idiot enter the Tao?
Because this child possesses a destined destiny!
Although it's a great pity that it's a flawed destiny, a flawed destiny is still a destiny. With a dual-cultivation master's child and destiny, such talent can be explained no matter what happens.
But why is the child's birth chart damaged?
Because Chen Jinghai kicked her just before she was about to give birth, the final formation of her destiny was abruptly interrupted!
Thinking further, if it weren't for that kick, Cai Fei's birthday wouldn't be the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. He might have been born a few days later, or maybe ten days later, but he would never have been born on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. In that case, he wouldn't have been cursed with "the fifth day of the fifth lunar month brings ruin to the family and clan," and the Chen and Chu families would never have abandoned this child!
A super genius who entered the Dao at the age of three, possessing a perfect innate destiny and nine complete attributes, had his innate destiny ruined by Chen Jinghai's kick. Even though he entered the Dao at the age of three, he would basically never have the chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime.
This scumbag kicked his son from the highest heavens to the deepest hell, and at the same time kicked away the super gift that God had bestowed upon the Chen family!
"Entered the Dao at the age of three, possesses innate protective qualities, and has nine perfect attributes... Aolai is about to lift its restrictions. If this child can go out to cultivate, he can at least reach the Golden Core realm..."
Tears welled up in the eyes of the old chieftain of the Chen family. He was also a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he was nearly 200 years old and his lifespan was running out. He was like a withered tree and had not been so excited for many years.
The old man's hands trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the wine glass. The thought that such a genius had almost come to the Chen family made him lose his appetite. He sat there for a while, then stood up and left without even saying goodbye.
Chen Jinglong placed 1000 spirit stones on the table as a congratulatory gift from the Chen family, then took his leave. Before leaving, he gave Chen Jinghai a deep look, his face extremely unpleasant.
Chen Jinghai originally came to confront Chu Shanyun, thinking he had been deceived and wanted to get back the 50,000 spirit stones. But after figuring it out, he collapsed in his seat, looking completely incredulous.
The Chu family members remained calm, for no other reason than that if everything went smoothly, the child would also have the surname Chen, and the Chu family would benefit from this.
Of course, if this grandson really achieves the Golden Core Realm, or even goes further, the Chu family will certainly prosper as well, but they won't lose as much as the Chen family...
Therefore, the chief of the Chu family felt more regret.
With a sense of regret, he toasted Xu Ping'an a few times and presented Xiao Caifei with a congratulatory gift—three first-tier earth shield talismans for protection, and 1000 spirit stones.
Of the group, Chu Huihui had shown the most care for Xiao Caifei. At this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings, heartbroken that the Chu family had lost a cultivator, and guilty that she hadn't visited Xiao Caifei even once in the past few years.
She hadn't prepared any gifts when she came, but now she rummaged through her Qiankun bag and pulled out a lot of talismans, stuffing them all into Xiao Caifei's hands. Seeing that he had nowhere to put them, she simply gave him the entire Qiankun bag.
This is quite a generous gift. This Qiankun bag alone is worth 1000 spirit stones, and there are dozens of other talismans. In total, it is a gift worth more than 3000 spirit stones. Xu Ping'an quickly gestured for Xiao Cai Fei to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Caifei stood up and bowed to Chu Huihui. He remained calm, not because he was pretending or because he was mentally strong, but because only he knew that with Li Zhu's "Seed of Divine Consciousness," there was still hope for his life force to be healed.
"Good child," Chu Huihui was so sad that she almost cried. Feeling that what she gave was not enough, she added, "When you grow up a bit, Auntie will make you a paper kite to play with."
This is another generous gift. The Spirit Bamboo Paper Hawk is a flying device for Qi Refining cultivators, and even the worst one costs several thousand spirit stones.
"Thank you, Auntie," Xiao Caifei said again.
The little guy had bright eyes, answered questions clearly and politely, and was exactly like a child prodigy. According to Xu Ping'an, Xiao Cai became smarter after entering the Dao. Although the change was a bit fast, everyone was completely shocked by the words "innately disabled fate" and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Chu Shanyun knew that her son was already clever, so of course she wouldn't expose him. Seeing that Chu Huihui had given so much, she couldn't help but glare at her, thinking to herself, "You're just an aunt, giving so much. What am I supposed to do as your mother?"
However, she was thick-skinned, and in the end, she just stuffed some spirit stones and healing talismans into her mouth and that was it.
"Nothing of value here. The day I die, the Savage Beast is yours."
Chu Shanyun made a promise that was purely illusory. The lifespan of a first-level Manman is only a hundred years. By the time she dies, that Manman will have already died. Although there are many troubles in Aolai, female cultivators like her generally stay in safe areas and will most likely die of old age.
"Thank you... Mom." Xiao Caifei said simply, but it was a little difficult for her to say "Mom". After the divorce agreement, they were no longer legally related, but the blood relationship still objectively existed, and Caifei had no intention of denying it.
After everyone finished presenting their gifts, they all looked at Chen Jinghai, who was slumped in his chair. Chen Jinghai seemed oblivious, muttering as he stood up, summoned a paper kite, and prepared to leave. Those who listened closely realized he was repeatedly chanting, "Supreme Treasure was beaten into a worthless wretch, what kind of person is he? What kind of person is he?"
The Chen family left as soon as the meal began, leaving the rest feeling rather bored.
Although entering the Daoist path is a joyous occasion, for Xiao Caifei it was tantamount to a funeral.
Faced with the Nine Miscellaneous Remnants of their natal chart, the three members of the Chu family didn't know what to say. They could only chat about some interesting stories from Aolai to pass the time. After a few rounds of drinks, they hurriedly took their leave and went their separate ways.
Kong Fande stayed behind to drink slowly with Xu Ping'an, chatting about the old stories of Wujia Village. When the wine was flowing, he even called over Old Madam Xu. As a mortal, the old lady could not use the "Soul Oath Talisman". To be on the safe side, all the secrets about Cai Fei were kept out of her, but at this time, they were just chatting about everyday things and could sit together.
The family finished their meal in a very warm atmosphere. Kong Fande took his leave and, before leaving, took out a jade slip, a pile of materials, and a dozen talismans, and gave them to Xiao Caifei.
The big shot was certainly not stingy; all of these dozen or so talismans were escape talismans related to speed, agility, and stealth, including one second-tier talisman. If valued, they would be worth over 3000 spirit stones, but compared to the jade slip, these were nothing.
The jade slip is inscribed with the Kong family's unique secret technique—the Talisman Technique. This is an escape technique used in conjunction with talismans. It contains detailed records of the production methods of some special talismans, as well as some movement techniques used in conjunction with these talismans.
In the perilous city of Aolai, there is no spell more valuable than the art of escaping!
"In Aolai, survival is my top priority. I'm not good at anything else but 'escaping'. You can dismantle these first-tier materials for practice. The Nine-Complete Dantian is perfect for making talismans. Who knows, you might even invent something new in the future. These are all the materials I have on me. Just come back for more when you run out."
Kong Fande chuckled and patted Xiao Caifei's head, then took out his flying sword and soared into the air. Half an incense stick later, he returned to the small room in the center of Yichun Courtyard.
"A white leopard with patterns on its forehead, what kind of destiny does that represent?"
Having witnessed the first true love of Aolai in a century, even Kong Fande, a Foundation Establishment expert over a hundred years old, couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Without a doubt, this is the highest rank of destiny, because it is a white-haired beast.
As is well known, the feathered, scaled, and unicorn-like creatures are valued for their gold, white, black, and red colors, respectively, and are considered the four most prestigious divine beasts: the Golden Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, the Black Tortoise on top, and the Phoenix on the bottom.
The leopard is second only to the tiger, and a white leopard should theoretically be second only to the white tiger, so why have we never heard of it?
As soon as he returned to his residence, Kong Fande couldn't help but take out the jade slip engraved with the "Book of Fate" from the library and examine it carefully by pressing it to his forehead.
This is the only publicly available book of destiny records produced by the Nine Heavens. The jade slip contains more than 7000 destiny records, each with illustrations and text, and many also include a brief introduction to the destiny's supernatural abilities.
But Kong Fande flipped through the pages from beginning to end and then from end to beginning, but still couldn't find the "white leopard with a pattern on its forehead".
"No record...at least it wasn't a common item...sigh, what a pity, such a damn pity..."
After repeatedly looking through the illustrations of snow leopards and leopards, Kong Fande finally sighed and gave up on making comparisons.
They're all ruined versions of my favorite characters, what else is there to reminisce about?
It's like a piece of jade that's been shattered; the more valuable it is, the more painful it is to feel like you've lost something you didn't gain.
