He had lived with his mother before, and had certainly endured all sorts of scorn.
Indeed, he had tasted all the bitterness of the human world.
As for turning danger into safety, he had already been imprisoned, only to meet his master and defy fate, becoming a legendary cultivator. This could indeed be called immense luck.
This old man, who didn't even know his birth date, had managed to describe his life in such detail. Wasn't he too divinely gifted?
"What do you say, young friend? Are you interested in letting me cast a divination for you?"
Seeing Lin Chen's skeptical look, Master Zhu appeared confident.
In terms of cultivation, reaching the Qi Refining stage at his age was indeed akin to being trash among cultivators.
However, when it came to his divination skills, even an Nascent Soul old monster would have to bow down in defeat!
"Alright, since Master is so inclined, I shall accompany you!"
Lin Chen nodded, his expression full of affirmation.
He was genuinely curious to see just how divine this old man truly was!
"Wait, Master Zhu, what about my boss?"
Seeing Master Zhu and Lin Chen chatting away happily, the man with glasses was utterly bewildered.
Here he was, a living person kneeling on the ground with blood streaming from his forehead. Couldn't he attend to him first?
"Young man, you don't need to kneel here."
"As I said, your boss abandoned his wife and child, violating my rules. I will not save him."
"Moreover, even if I were to intervene, given your boss's condition, I could at most extend his life by half a year, achieving nothing.
"If you truly wish to save your boss, then beg this gentleman here more."
"If he is willing to act, perhaps your boss truly has a chance."
Master Zhu looked at the man with glasses and instructed him.
"Master Zhu, is this true?"
Upon hearing Master Zhu's words, the man with glasses' eyes lit up. He immediately turned to Lin Chen, "Sir, may I know your esteemed name? Are you a doctor?"
"I'm sorry, but I do not save those Master Zhu does not save. Please leave."
Lin Chen shook his head resolutely and refused the man with glasses.
Having grown up in a single-parent family, he understood far too well how arduous it was for his mother to raise him alone.
Regardless of who the boss behind this man with glasses was, the moment he abandoned his wife and child, Lin Chen lost all goodwill towards him.
"Furthermore, if you dare to pester me again, it will be like this gun!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen moved, instantly pulling a handgun from behind the man with glasses.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the handgun, cast from fine steel, was immediately broken.
"This..."
Seeing this, the man with glasses was stunned. The bodyguards around him were equally dumbfounded.
Good heavens, to break a handgun with bare hands, how much strength would that take?
Was this even human?
"Whoa, Lin Chen, are you... inhuman?"
Zhou Qing, standing nearby, also looked dumbfounded, her eyes wide open.
This was a real gun! And it was broken just like that?
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, it's something I practiced inside, a little trick, nothing worth mentioning."
Lin Chen rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward.
He had been so focused on intimidating the man with glasses that he had forgotten Zhou Qing was beside him.
"Alright."
Hearing that Lin Chen had learned his skills in prison, Zhou Qing didn't want to bring up his painful memories and didn't ask further.
After all, she had seen on television that some special forces soldiers could dismantle handguns with their bare hands.
However, she might not have understood the vast difference between dismantling and breaking.
"Alright, Master Zhu, please come upstairs."
After finishing all this, seeing the man with glasses look shocked and no longer speaking, Lin Chen proactively gestured for Master Zhu to proceed upstairs.
"Good, please, upstairs."
Master Zhu was not one for pleasantries.
He knew that someone who could break a handgun with bare hands must also be a cultivator!
However, with purple clouds covering his head, such a person with great fortune, it would be strange if he weren't a cultivator.
"Master Zhu, this is my sworn brother, born from a different mother, whom I grew up with. Don't make things difficult for him!"
"I have to go to work, so I won't be accompanying you."
Seeing that Master Zhu and Lin Chen had something to discuss, Zhou Qing also took her leave.
She had come downstairs intending to go to work, but seeing Master Zhu being bullied, she had stepped forward.
"Yes, yes, yes, go ahead, come back soon. Tonight, I'll treat your whole family to dinner!"
Master Zhu also looked very pleased. It was evident that his relationship with Zhou Qing was quite good.
Led by Master Zhu, Lin Chen entered the elevator and arrived at the thirty-third floor, the top floor.
"Young friend, please, sit anywhere. This entire floor belongs to me. I'll go make some tea."
Upon arrival, Master Zhu directly went to make tea, and they sat opposite each other.
"Master Zhu, you mentioned just now that my head is covered in purple qi. What does that mean exactly?"
At this moment, Lin Chen couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Master Zhu directly.
He had only studied medicine for three years, and the number of people he had saved he could count on his fingers.
If saving just a few people like this resulted in him being covered in purple qi and having immense fortune, wasn't that a bit too much?
"Young friend, do not rush. First, tell me your birth date, and I will cast a divination for you."
Master Zhu smiled slightly, taking out a tortoise shell and some copper coins.
"Alright, my birth date is..."
As he spoke, Lin Chen told Master Zhu his birth date and then eagerly awaited his explanation.
Master Zhu wrote the birth date on a piece of paper and placed it into the tortoise shell, setting it aflame.
While there was fire in the tortoise shell, he quickly threw the copper coins in and shook them a few times.
However, just as Master Zhu was about to throw the copper coins out of the tortoise shell to form the divination, Master Zhu, who had been talking and laughing moments before, suddenly changed his expression and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
Master Zhu vomited blood, the tortoise shell in his hand instantly shattered into pieces, and even the copper coins inside were completely deformed.
"Master Zhu, are you alright?"
Seeing this, Lin Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly sent a surge of spiritual energy to Master Zhu.
"My heavens, young friend, with my cultivation, I cannot divine for you. I have suffered backlash. I am ashamed, truly ashamed!"
Master Zhu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He had been practicing divination for decades and had never encountered such a situation, yet today it had happened to a young man!
"Unable to divine? What does that mean?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen became even more curious.
Why couldn't it be done?
"Young friend, heavenly secrets cannot be divulged! If I say more, I fear I may lose my life."
"Please spare my life, young friend."
Master Zhu forced a smile. Although he was begging for mercy, his eyes were filled with happiness.
Even Lin Chen could sense Master Zhu's elated mood at this moment.
He was spitting blood, yet he was still so happy. Did this old man have some serious issues?
