Wupeng smiled lightly, “Life and death are decreed by fate. If obtaining the Emperor’s throne means being fated to have a short life, your good fortune will be turned to adversity, whereas if obtaining the throne means being fated to have a long life, it is a matter of time before you would succeed. Naturally, good things come with bad consequences while the bad events would have a blessing in disguise.”

Feng squinted his eyes and said, “Sir Wupeng, can you check whether I have a long life or short life?”

“This is not something that I can foresee. If you can check your records in the Register of Life and Death, it would be clearer,” said Wupeng leisurely.

Feng sneered, “I will read the Register of Life and Death eventually.” The Register of Life and Death was the greatest regret that had ever happened to him. He was considered as one of the greatest men in Dongyi but he was still tied by the Register of Life and Death. Although he used various secret techniques and spiritual medicine to stay alive, he was worried as death was like a sword that hung from his neck. He was unable to attain the highest stage of the God of Arrow because of that concern and failed to become the legend all archers yearn to be – ‘Hou Yi’.

Wupeng smiled and said, “You are the Leader of Fenghou Tribe, the Dongyi’s great archer. Hence, you would not have a short life. In my opinion, if you be careful, obtain the throne, nothing would stop you.”

Feng laughed loudly, “If there is such a day, you can visit me and request for anything you wish.”

Wupeng smiled faintly, “Is there anything that I can be of assistance to? Otherwise, I would like to resume making the medicine.”

Feng asked, “Would you be able to lend me some yarrow?”

“You must be thinking to plant it. Here are some yarrow seeds. You can take all of it,” Wupeng took out a small sack made of cloth and passed it to Feng. There was also a faint light emitting from the sack.

As Feng accepted the small sack, he felt a surge of spiritual vigor. There was even a hint of yarrow fragrance. He said, “Thank you, Sir Wupeng, I shall stop bothering you. Allow me to excuse myself.”

When Feng left, the little kid asked, “Master, this fella is stingy. He left nothing but requested for you to interpret his augury and took a bag of yarrow seeds. If I knew that he was such tight-fisted, I would not have told him that you were back.”

Wupeng gave an eerie smile, “I am not a person that would be so easily taken advantage of.”

The little kid shrugged as he saw his master’s smile. He was merely complaining but his master seemed to take this seriously. Feng would need to pay for this.

Guzhu from Wuzhong tribe quickly learned the Golden Touch and the Five Elements Feeling Method. Although he was not a celestial, he already developed an unconventional perspective.

The Golden Touch caused him to not even spare a glance on the ordinary goods. This was because by using the Golden Touch, he would be able to gain plenty of gold. However, his mana was weak. Hence, the dough would transform back into stones after a short period of time.

For the Five Elements Fleeing Method, it enabled him to use Golden Touch without worrying being caught. This was because by using his mind, he would be able to flee his way out, unnoticed.

Using these two supernatural powers, Guzhu managed to accumulate wealth. Under wraps, he became the richest person in Wuzhong Tribe. There were many followers who obeyed his orders too.

Nobody suspected that Guzhu’s mana came from the celestial as Guzhu never worshipped any celestial, let alone went to the temple.

Most of his people did not believe in celestials. It was no surprise that there were many who did not worship celestials because they did not get anything in return by doing so. Eventually, they stopped believing.

Although Guzhu managed to increase his status in the tribe, he would still prefer to be the likes of a celestial. However, he knew that no matter how hard or long he knelt before the celestial, he would only get this two mana.

Therefore, Guzhu developed his influence on top of power. With his influence, he would be able to do more things, achieve greater heights and find whatever he wanted the most.

Besides that, having a group of men that followed his orders flattered him.

This was the taste of power, it lead to addiction.

Power and wealth were not all-powerful. However, most of the difficult situations can be solved using these. As one gained more power, harder problems would be easier to settle and in return, the rewards would be better.

Guzhu had the desire for power but he felt that the desire was due to practice and cultivation. Wuzhong tribe was too small. The clear-headed Guzhu knew that he could not lay a finger on the temple’s influence. Besides, he still respected the celestial teachers.

Therefore, he made a decision that shocked his subordinates; he wanted to rob other tribes.

He had the Five Elements Fleeing Method. If the source was precise and there were no other larger forces inferring, the chances of success were high. Furthermore, he might be able to subdue some Dongyi citizens.

There were various kinds of Dongyi witchcraft and Dao techniques. As Shen Lian imparted his knowledge of the two spells, he included the true meaning of Xuanmen. Hence, it became easier for Guzhu to learn basic witchcraft and the Dao technique.

Before the snow stopped, Guzhu left Wuzhong Tribe with thirty of his most trustworthy subordinates.

Little did he know that all his actions were reflected in Shen Lian’s monitoring technique. It was clearly observed by Shen Lian and the black tiger in Qing Xuan Cave.

As the black tiger saw Guzhu left, he said, “It seems like he failed the test, master.”

Shen Lian said, “Although his attitude does not fit Qing Xuan’s mark, Guzhu would be successful one day.”

Curiously, the black tiger asked, “Why?”

Shen Lian replied, “I might be testing him but I was also experimenting the ‘Yi Principle’ I had from ‘Lianshan’ and ‘Taixu Strategy’.”

Shen Lian was not bored. It was a coincidence that Guzhu came into his sight and so he used him to experiment the Yi Principle and subsequently to determine his faith.

Destiny was mysterious and it could be separated into fate and fortune.

Fate was predestined while fortune depended on the path that one chose. Combine both, it became one’s life journey.

If one could grasp these two points, the future of this person could be known.

Shen Lian could predict matters that were about to happen but could not predict the life journey of a person.

However, the Yi Principle inspired Shen Lian.

Everything revolving around the world was changing but this change had a regular pattern; Yi. Shen Lian used this pattern to conclude one’s fate and fortune and subsequently had a vague idea of the matters that were about to happen to that person. Moreover, this method of prying into the future would be able to prevent the boomerang effect onto oneself because it was a method of calculation and deduction. It did not affect the creator.
