Chapter 422: Child of Destiny, Gu Ming, Fortune-telling Old Man

With these heaven mending pills, he could completely nurture a powerful force.

Not to mention anything distant, just by adding other Medicinal Pills, Han Li could be fed directly to the True Immortal Realm.

However, now is not the time to think about this.

Zhou Chen turned and left the Immortal Cave.

As soon as he walked out of the Immortal Cave, he felt a familiar aura.

Zhou Chen frowned.

"Lin Tian?"

He activated his Divine Sense to sweep across.

Sure enough.

Lin Tian was flying towards this side.

His speed was extremely fast.

Zhou Chen sneered.

"Sorry, you're late."

Zhou Chen's speed was even faster; space rippled, and his entire person completely disappeared from the spot.

A moment later.

Lin Tian landed outside the Immortal Cave.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"It's here."

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

He could feel that the predestined Opportunity was right here.

But…

Why did it feel so weak?

Lin Tian rushed into the Immortal Cave.

The passage, the stone room, the jade box.

Everything was there.

But the jade box was empty.

Lin Tian was stunned.

He stared blankly at the empty jade box, his mind going blank.

"How could this…"

"How could it be like this?"

Lin Tian muttered to himself.

He picked up the jade box with trembling hands.

The inner wall of the jade box still had a faint lingering fragrance of the Medicinal Pill.

This indicated that the Medicinal Pill had just been taken away not long ago.

Lin Tian looked up abruptly.

"Damn it, did I miss out again?!"

"Who exactly is it? Simply outrageous!"

He gritted his teeth.

At the auction, the Zi Xiao Sword Heart and the Three Pure Yellow Lotus Pill were snatched away.

The Blood Fiend Demonic Technique, the Blood Lotus, and now even the Opportunity right in front of him was gone.

Although he didn't know what it was, he felt in his heart that it was very important to him.

Three times.

Three whole times.

Every time, the Opportunity he sensed was taken by someone else in advance.

This couldn't be a coincidence.

Absolutely impossible.

"Someone is targeting me."

A flash of madness crossed Lin Tian's eyes.

"Someone must be targeting me."

"And…"

He took a deep breath.

"That person must know about my ability to sense Opportunities."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to be one step ahead of me every time."

Lin Tian's face was ashen.

He thought of the mysterious person at the auction.

"Is it him?"

"Or is it…"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Tian's eyes.

"Is someone in the Sect following me?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and he even began to be suspicious.

To be able to know his whereabouts in advance and accurately snatch the Opportunity.

Only someone familiar with him could do such a thing.

"Who exactly is it?"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth.

"Zhou Chen?"

"No, he is only at the Fourth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm."

"It's impossible for him to have such strength."

"Then who could it be?"

Lin Tian ruled out Zhou Chen first and stood in the stone room for a long time.

In the end, he took a deep breath, turned around helplessly, and left the Immortal Cave.

Abyss Battlefield base.

Zhou Chen walked into the Merit Hall.

He took out the merit point token he obtained from killing the Demonic Cultivator earlier.

A total of three thousand merit points.

The managing Elder's eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Chen.

"Little friend, what do you want to exchange for?"

Zhou Chen scanned the exchange list and had nothing he needed to exchange for the time being.

He shook his head and refused, then left the base and activated the teleportation array.

Hum—

The teleportation array lit up, sending him back to the Zixia Sect.

Zhou Chen returned to his Immortal Cave and immediately set up an isolation Formation.

He took out a heaven mending pill from the System space.

The Medicinal Pill emitted a seven-colored light, containing terrifying medicinal power.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

Boom—

The terrifying medicinal power exploded in his body instantly.

Zhou Chen hurriedly circulated the Zixia Immortal Scripture to guide this force.

The medicinal power turned into a rolling hot current, flowing through his whole body.

He could feel that the subtle flaws in his body were being repaired by the medicinal power.

His Meridians became tougher.

His Dantian became more stable.

Even his bones became harder and more crystal clear under the nourishment of the medicinal power, like a work of art.

Time passed bit by bit.

Three days later.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"A full thousand pills, finally the Foundation is fully mended."

Perhaps because he didn't go through the Heavenly Tribulation and Ascension, but snuck into the Spirit Realm, Zhou Chen needed an unusually large number of heaven mending pills.

However, the benefits were also very obvious.

The aura of the Lower Realm on his body had been completely washed away, and he no longer had to worry about being killed by the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Realm.

Zhou Chen continued to activate his Immortal Spiritual Power.

Above his Dantian, three illusory flowers slowly emerged.

They were the prototypes of the Heaven Flower, Earth Flower, and Human Flower.

"I can build my Immortal Foundation now."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

However, before building his Immortal Foundation, he still needed to prepare some things.

He had the Pill Formula for the true immortal tribulation crossing pill, but he lacked the main Medicinal Pill and was missing quite a few auxiliary Materials.

"It seems I have to go to the Tianbao Auction to try my luck."

On the large teleportation array heading to Tianbao City, Zhou Chen habitually opened the System panel and scanned the nearby Cultivators.

At the entrance and exit, there were many Cultivators coming and going.

Huh???

A streak of light flashed past his side and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Chen thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

[Name: Gu Ming]

[Realm: Tenth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm]

[fate: Primordial Immortal Clan Bloodline (Nine-Colored), Child of Destiny (Nine-Colored), Myriad Laws Immunity Body (Nine-Colored)]

[Destiny: The direct descendant of the Gu family of the Primordial Immortal Clan. At eighteen, he is already at the Tenth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm. His talent is unparalleled in the Spirit Realm. He will Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm within a month, achieve the Immortal King within ten years, prove his Dao as an Immortal Emperor within a hundred years, and finally stop at the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Realm.]

[Recent Opportunity 1: Three days later, while passing by a small market outside Tianbao City, he will meet an old man at a fortune-telling stall who will actively initiate a connection, obtaining one true immortal tribulation crossing pill.]

[Recent Opportunity 2: Seven days later, he will participate in the Tianbao Auction and purchase the Immortal Rank Top-Grade Material, chaos divine iron, to refine his Lifebound Treasure.]

[Recent Opportunity 3: Fifteen days later, the Gu family Secret Realm will open, and he will obtain an Immortal King Legacy, greatly increasing his strength.]

After reading the panel, Zhou Chen's eyes were practically blinded.

"Holy crap? Three nine-colored fates?"

"Eighteen years old and at the Tenth Layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm?"

"This is the real Child of Destiny."

Zhou Chen thought of Lin Tian's pitiful five-colored fate and couldn't help but laugh.

"In front of this person, Lin Tian isn't even fit to carry his shoes."

However, Zhou Chen was more concerned about the first Opportunity.

The true immortal tribulation crossing pill.

This was exactly what he needed most right now.

"Three days later, the small market outside Tianbao City."

Zhou Chen's lips curled into an arc.

"A grandpa on the side of the road, right?"

"I'm coming."

His figure flashed, and he flew towards the outside of Tianbao City.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Tianbao City, there was a small market.

There wasn't much foot traffic here, and it was mostly Loose Cultivators setting up stalls to trade.

Zhou Chen arrived a day early.

He wandered around the market and quickly found the fortune-telling stall.

The stall owner was a white-haired old man, wearing a grey robe, with a withered and thin face.

His aura was restrained, but Zhou Chen could feel that this old man was at the Quasi-Immortal Realm First Layer.

In front of the old man's stall was a piece of worn-out cloth, on which was written "Direct and accurate, not charging a single penny".

Zhou Chen walked over and squatted in front of the stall.

"Old man, can you tell my fortune?"

The old man looked up at Zhou Chen, a flash of disappointment crossing his eyes.

"Not telling."

He waved his hand, signaling Zhou Chen to leave.
