Chapter 127 Luck Cannot Overpower Cause and Effect
"It's actually ethereal sand! Although it's not a source, it's an excellent material for refining artifacts. Adding just a little bit can improve the quality of immortal artifacts!"
"This item is perfect for crafting hidden weapons; they are impossible to defend against, and even immortals cannot detect them!"
"It looks like it weighs about half a pound. Just this little bit is worth no less than three hundred pounds of immortal essence!"
Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes turned red when they saw the ethereal sand in Li Lan's hand!
"Very good!!"
Cao Yueshu exclaimed loudly, so excited that he almost jumped up!
This is half a pound of ethereal sand! The combined value of Li Lan's source material has far exceeded that of the blood refining stone!
Even someone as taciturn as the Wooden Sword Immortal couldn't help but exclaim, "Excellent! That's wonderful!"
He never expected that a game he was destined to lose could be turned around!
Shangguan Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked at Li Lan with a puzzled and confused expression.
On the contrary, Li Daoling, Zhu Donglai, Fairy Lanxia, and the others all looked on incredulously.
What the heck?
Does this work? !
"Oh shit……"
Zhu Donglai, a powerful figure, unconsciously uttered a curse word!
"This kid's luck... is a bit too good. What exactly is that lucky coin?"
Lanxia Fairy stared at Li Lan with her beautiful eyes, scrutinizing him repeatedly, as if trying to discern some clues.
Li Daoling was so angry that he couldn't say a word. His face was extremely gloomy, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
Since the incident in the Abyss Realm, he has been in seclusion reflecting on his mistakes. Now that he has finally been reinstated by the family and taken on his first battle, something unexpected has happened!
What will the clan think of him?
At this moment, he felt somewhat depressed. What kind of luck did he have?
……
"impossible!"
Blood Refining Stone was now even more agitated, angrily shouting, "I clearly sensed it with my Blood Source Technique, and there's nothing inside this wrinkled old stone!!"
I actually lost?!
How can this be!
"Alas, this is truly fate. The ethereal sand is a rare treasure. It is ethereal and empty, something that can only be encountered by chance. Let alone hiding it inside a raw stone, even if it is placed right in front of you, you cannot detect its existence unless you can see it with your naked eye."
Old Master Qi Ming couldn't help but sigh, looking at Li Lan and saying, "Young friend, your luck is truly extraordinary. May I ask the origin of the copper coin in your hand?"
Everyone was paying close attention!
Although a small number of people had met Li Lan yesterday, most people were seeing him identify raw stones in this way for the first time!
The key point is that it's incredibly accurate.
A complete novice who knows nothing about Origin Arts was able to defeat a Blood Origin lineage descendant who had been immersed in this art for countless years and whose cultivation was profound, all because of a single copper coin.
Who wouldn't care?
Li Lan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I bought this item yesterday at the entrance of the Sun Moon Sect."
"The man who sold me the copper coins claimed to be the 33rd generation successor of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the Old Man of Broken Sky!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the several important figures present all changed!
"impossible!"
Li Daoling was the first to speak. His face was gloomy, and he said decisively, "The Heavenly Mystery Sect is a single-lineage sect. The current successor of the Heavenly Mystery Sect is already a guest of my Li family. Where in the world is there any successor of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"
"They're nothing but charlatans!"
The Heavenly Secrets are divinely ordained, but the Li family is also a leading force of the peace faction. How could they allow a second successor of the Heavenly Secrets to exist in this world?
In this way, their authority and right to speak will be shaken!
"If I remember correctly, the Heavenly Calculation Master on the Li family's side is the thirty-fourth generation successor, while the old man that you mentioned, young friend Zhan, is the thirty-third generation. Could he be his senior from the same lineage?"
But Cao Yueshu suddenly spoke up.
To be honest, he didn't believe in any divine predictions, but at this critical moment, he naturally sensed something.
"That makes sense. That old man who cuts the sky must be an unparalleled master, otherwise how could the copper coins he gave to young friend Zhan have such power?"
The Wooden Sword Immortal also said calmly.
"Nonsense! There are countless swindlers in this Northern Emperor City. Besides, putting everything else aside, I'm afraid Zhan Yiyuan wasn't the only one who bought these lucky coins. Do they all have such good fortune?"
Li Daoling shook his head in rebuttal.
"That's not necessarily true. Those who are most charlatan and feign madness are often the ones who are most likely to be hiding something."
Cao Yueshu said, "If others are not destined, they can only buy counterfeit money. But if they are destined, it is not impossible for them to obtain real money. After all, there is an old saying in the Tianji Sect: 'Heavenly secrets are unpredictable, and only those with destiny are saved!'"
"Otherwise, how do you explain why young friend Zhan, with such a naive mind, repeatedly encounters Zhongyuan?"
Upon hearing this, many people around couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"I was cheated before; the copper coins I had were indeed useless..."
“There’s really something wrong. That old swindler… no, that senior fellow used to sell copper coins in front of all the major mines every day, but he suddenly disappeared yesterday!”
"Could he really be a peerless master searching for a destined person? But why didn't he choose me, damn it!"
Many people couldn't help but speak up.
"Nonsense!"
Li Daoling was so angry that he flung his sleeve, but he didn't know how to refute it.
After all, Li Lan has now truly won!
……
"Unorthodox methods, unorthodox methods!!"
Blood Refining Stone gritted his teeth, trembling with rage.
He felt like he was about to vomit blood. Their bloodline had been in seclusion for many years, and this time they came out of the mountains, fully prepared to make a name for themselves and shake the world!
He was even more ambitious.
And then, I actually encountered such a cheater!
Damn it, he defeated himself with just a copper coin?!
He was completely unconvinced, absolutely not!
"I also have a word to offer,"
Li Lan smiled and said leisurely, "In the face of absolute luck, strength is nothing to mention..."
"You son of a bitch... Pfft!"
Blood Refining Stone suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, and his breathing became unsteady.
"Second brother!"
Xue Lianyuan hurriedly helped him up, checked him over, and his expression changed as he said, "Mr. Li, my second brother's bloodline is unstable. I have to take him back to my master first!"
Flying was forbidden in the city, so he simply grabbed the Blood Refining Stone, jumped onto the carriage, and quickly left.
"Brother Li, we can consider ourselves the winners of this first match."
Now it was Cao Yueshu's turn to say it.
Li Daoling, however, remained calm and ignored Cao Yueshu. Instead, he looked at Li Lan and said, "Young friend, may I borrow the copper coins in your hand for a look?"
Li Lan shook her head: "No."
Li Daoling said coldly, "This matter involves the Heavenly Mystery Sect and even higher levels. Young friend, I advise you to think it through!"
The words already carried a threatening undertone.
"Hey Li, what do you mean by this? Do you think our Sun Moon Sect and Sword Sect don't exist?!"
Cao Yueshu countered sharply!
Li Daoling and Cao Yueshu faced off for a moment, and he said, "I just want to remind everyone that the secrets of heaven and the divine calculations belong to the Li family!"
"His judgment about the gray fog is the only judgment, the only path!"
After saying those resolute words, he turned and left.
"Young Master Zhan possesses extraordinary luck, but his involvement in this matter may be inappropriate. Please reconsider."
Lanxia Fairy also said something to Li Lan.
The people from the major powers have all left.
……
We won!
"The Sun Moon Cult's luck is just too good, isn't it? They actually encountered such an oddball who helped them defeat the Bloodline Clan?"
"Damn it, let's hurry and find that old man who cuts the sky. As long as we can get his copper coins, we'll be set for life!"
Everyone present started discussing it, and many people immediately left to inquire and search for that senior!
The old swindler... has transformed into a mysterious and highly skilled master!
Congratulations, young friend!
Cao Yueshu smiled and said to Li Lan, "Tonight, I will host a banquet at the Sun and Moon Pavilion to celebrate your success!"
Even Shangguan Xiaoxiao came over and said, "Thank you."
……
The news is out.
The entire Northern Imperial City was abuzz with the sound of thunder.
"The Bloodline actually lost!"
"But the Ancient Origin Master lineage won?"
"No, it was just another ordinary person who doesn't even understand Source Techniques..."
"How is that possible? Besides the Ancient Origin Masters, who else in this world can rival the Blood Origin lineage?"
"Heh, don't think it's impossible. In the face of absolute luck, strength is nothing!"
……
The entire city was shaken, and at the same time, people everywhere were searching for the old man who had broken the heavens!
Li Lan's lucky copper coins became something everyone coveted.
"Damn it, I wish I could get that copper coin!"
"That old senior is truly remarkable. It is said that some powerful forces found the copper coins he had previously sold and used forbidden techniques to deduce them, but they couldn't find any trace of him!"
"This person possesses at least the strength of a Celestial Saint!"
All sorts of rumors and gossip spread like wildfire.
Amidst the rumors and gossip, the swindler and con artist suddenly became a reclusive sage, wandering the world seeking a destined soul...
……
Inside a grand hall of the Sun Moon Sect.
"Is it really that strange?"
Upon hearing the report, Gu Shengtian couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
"That's right, brother. That Blood Refining Stone had already cultivated the Blood Source Spirit Eye, and even after hitting three different types of Source Stones, he still lost... He didn't know any Source Techniques when fighting against the Different Source Stone, yet he still won in the end!"
Gu Shengxian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, what should we do now? With him as our backer, do you think the Sun Moon Sect will agree to your conditions?"
"Shangguan Xiaoxiao possesses a Spiritual Body, which is extremely important for your cultivation of Origin Techniques..."
Gu Shengtian thought for a moment and said, "It's alright."
"So what if we're lucky? In the end, the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect will still need our help."
"After all, finding and capturing the Primordial Divine Source is not something that can be accomplished by luck alone."
Upon hearing this, the ancient sage nodded. The Primordial Divine Source is a divine object of creation, and finding it is already extremely difficult. Even if it is found, to successfully keep it, one must set up an extremely complex Source Dao Array. But Zhan Yiyuan does not understand these things!
"However, we can't just sit idly by. Otherwise, firstly, people will think that our Ancient Origin Master lineage is incompetent, and secondly, we can't just let the treasures in the various mines slip by..."
He thought for a moment and said, "Go tell Changsun Jiuye that I will make a move tomorrow."
……
"Sir, the item in that young man's hand does indeed seem extraordinary..."
Li Shi.
A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by forty-nine bronze lamps, each containing rare fragrant oil, with flickering flames.
This person is none other than the 34th generation successor of the Tianji Sect, renowned throughout the entire Northern Frontier, the Divine Calculator of Heavenly Secrets—Master Tiankun!
Li Daoling and several family leaders came and explained the situation of the day to everyone.
"Heavenly Secret Copper Coins?"
Master Tiankun slowly opened his eyes and said, "You said that the copper coin in his hand is a whole piece, not half a piece?"
Li Daoling nodded: "It is indeed a complete one!"
Master Tiankun shook his head and said, "That is an illusion, there is no need to worry about it."
Li Daoling said worriedly, "But this person's luck is just too good..."
Master Tiankun said, "Very well, since that's the case, I'll show it to you all."
As he spoke, he took out half a copper coin from his pocket!
This half of the copper coin is incredibly ancient, as if it has been weathered by time.
He took out the copper coin and suddenly threw it into the air. The coin floated, and flames burst forth from the forty-nine copper lamps around it, intertwining around the coin and forming a mysterious and unpredictable scene.
After a long while, Master Tiankun took back the copper coins and said calmly, "It's alright. Luck is not enough; even if that person is lucky, there is a limit."
"Let Xue Lianyuan make a move tomorrow. He has a lot of karma on him, and luck can't suppress karma. Even if there is someone with luck, they can't affect him."
Upon hearing this, Li Daoling and the others were overjoyed and immediately withdrew.
"Daoling,"
As they stepped out of the secret hall, an elder from the family spoke up, saying, "Although True Person Tiankun said so, you still need to be careful!"
"Although the Heavenly Mystery Sect is a single-lineage sect, I've heard that there seem to be some problems with the inheritance in this generation. We must find out for sure whether what Zhan Yiyuan has is indeed the Heavenly Mystery Coin... Also, in tomorrow's battle, only victory is allowed, defeat is not permitted!"
"Whether my Li clan can escape this calamity unscathed, or even lay the foundation for an everlasting dynasty, all depends on this battle!"
Li Daoling stiffened, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Don't worry, Third Ancestor, I will find a way to investigate Zhan Yiyuan... Also, if there is an opportunity, I will not let him live!"
……
"Master, would you like your fortune told?"
At this moment, in a certain restaurant.
The young Taoist looked at the old Taoist with curiosity: "Can we still find that half copper coin?"
"What fortune telling!"
Old Daoist Duan Tian shook his head and said, "I've figured it out. There are terrifying figures in the Northern Emperor City whose karma is chaotic. Divination is inaccurate, fortune-telling is unreliable, fortune-telling cannot suppress karma, and heavenly secrets are difficult to calculate. Your master would never do such a foolish thing!"
"Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty!"
As he spoke, he glanced at another room, his expression slightly complicated.
That room... is inhabited by a sword saint.
They were brought here by that sword saint.
"This is Dugu Yibai... Tu Tianlong, Zhan Yiyuan, damn it, just by taking a pseudonym, he dares to get involved in such a huge karma. No wonder Dugu Yibai is his bodyguard!"
He murmured, "Terror has descended, an anomaly has emerged. At this chaotic juncture, at this perilous juncture, we, master and disciple, should just stay put and not move!"
