The Taoist priest had previously set up a stall by the roadside to tell people's fortunes. However, people these days believed in science and did not believe in fortune-telling at all.
He hadn't had any income for a few days. He hadn't eaten for two days, and when he spoke, he was weak.
Just now, she had accidentally heard Janice's muttering and thought that Janice was giving it to a martial arts fan, so she had an idea to swindle some money.
How could he know how to read fortunes! They were just fooling people to make a living. It was just that this jianghu food was not easy to make a living!
"Oh! I'm not buying it."
Janice knew that the other party was a liar when he heard that. He couldn't be bothered with him and turned to leave.
The reason was very simple. He did not feel any spiritual power or internal energy fluctuations from the other party. If this was not a liar, what else could it be?
"Hey, little brother, don't go!”
The old Daoist hurriedly grabbed Janice's arm. He did not care about the banner in his hand anymore. He threw away the banner and took out a few thread-bound books from the cloth bag he was carrying.
"Little brother, these are all ancient martial arts manuals. They are honest. Just give them to me.”
The old priest grabbed Janice tightly. Janice was also speechless. What was the point of two grown men tugging on the street?
Glancing at the martial arts manual in the old priest's hand, Janice's mouth twitched, and he almost suffered internal injuries.
What was this? They said that it was an ancient book, but why was it all in simplified Chinese?
Looking at those books, he was speechless. The Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Nine Yin Scripture, the Buddha's Palm, and the Wave Subtle Steps. Janice was simply reading them.
Wasn't this something from a wuxia novel? You're using it to trick me? Don't you know that I'm a cultivator?
"I'm sorry, I don't need it. I know more than these divine techniques.”
Janice rejected him directly and sneered in his heart. It was not so easy to cheat money from him.
After thinking for a moment, Janice smiled and said,"If you have any Taoist techniques! Or a mystic artifact! I'm quite interested."
He just wanted to disgust the other party a little. Seeing that Janice was not playing by the rules, the old priest revealed an awkward expression."Little brother, I'm sorry, I don't have any.”
"If you don't, then why aren't you letting me go?" Janice glared at him, and the old priest released his hand resentfully.
Janice turned around and left. The old priest sighed behind her with a disappointed expression.
Vaguely, Janice heard the old priest sigh."Even if I do, I can't teach you! The Dao cannot be passed on easily. If I pass it on to someone with evil intentions, how can I face my ancestors? It's really a great sin.”
Janice's heart skipped a beat. The real person doesn't show his face? Or did you say it on purpose for me to hear?"
After obtaining the system, Janice had been thinking about finding people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders to understand more about the Celestial Sect of Wonders. He wanted to search for some Celestial Sect of Wonders treasures and then use his attribute points to strengthen them.
After hesitating for a moment, Janice turned around and walked to the dejected old priest. She asked,"You're from the Celestial Sect? I'm the direct descendant of Heavenly Emperor Ye. May I know which sect you belong to?”
Janice's expression was natural and she did not feel guilty at all. In any case, she was just trying to get information.
The old Daoist's expression changed. He looked at Janice in shock and bewilderment. His eyes were fixed on Janice's eyes, but he did not see any fluctuation in them.
Janice's pitch-black eyes were surprisingly calm, as if she was narrating an extremely real matter.
After a long while, the old Daoist asked,"Are you really the legendary descendant of Heavenly Emperor Ye?" How can you prove it?"
Hearing this, Ye An's heart trembled. It seemed that the old Daoist was very likely to be someone from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and he was someone with some real ability.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked.
Janice was also speechless. She did not expect that her casual act would make the old priest treat her seriously.
"Cough cough!" Janice coughed lightly and said calmly,"Why should I? If it's true, then it's true. If it's not, then it's not. I won't go to the extent of finding myself an ancestor.”
Janice roared in his heart,'My ancestors, don't blame me. It's not easy to make a living.”
The old Daoist was startled for a moment before he shook his head and laughed,""I was rude."
Janice remained calm and wanted to see how the old priest would answer her.
"I was originally a member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. Later on, I made a mistake and was crippled of my cultivation and expelled from the sect.”The old Daoist did not hide anything. His expression was a little lonely, giving people the feeling that a hero was in his twilight years.
"Which sect?" Janice asked.
"Forget it! To avoid discrediting the sect!" The old Daoist did not answer.
Janice nodded and did not ask further. He invited,"It's fate that we met. Let's have a meal together!”
Hearing that he was going to eat, the old Daoist cooed and his lips moved a few times. In the end, he could not resist the temptation and agreed,"Thank you, little brother."
The two of them walked into a nice little restaurant. The table was filled with delicious food and a large bowl of rice.
During the process of serving the dishes, Janice already knew that the old Taoist priest's real name was Zhang Xuan, and he was sixty years old this year.
As for more information, the old priest refused to tell him no matter what. Janice could not ask anymore. He could not possibly hold a knife to his neck and interrogate him, right?
The old Daoist was naturally trying to get information from Ye An, intentionally or unintentionally. He wanted to know if Ye An was a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor.
"Why would I lie to you? Take a look at these talismans, they were all drawn by me.”
As he spoke, Janice took out the talismans he had obtained in Twin Dragon Village. The moment Zhang Xuan saw the talismans, a hint of shock flashed across his eyes. He did not expect them to be the Purple Thunder Talisman and the Samadhi Fire Talisman.
"Little Friend Ye is really talented. In the younger generation, you're definitely one of the top prodigies. You can actually draw the Purple Thunder Talisman and the Samadhi True Fire Talisman.”
Zhang Xuan praised Janice a few times and said a little guiltily,"This old man has really lived his life like a dog. Even if I still have my cultivation, I still have to try my luck to carve the Purple Thunder Talisman and the Samadhi Fire Talisman.”
"Are these two talismans very difficult? I think it's very simple! I can draw it in minutes." Janice boasted shamelessly. After Zhang Xuan heard this, his eyebrows trembled and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He thought to himself, What kind of person is this? Can't you be a little humble? Why do you have to attack others to feel good?
Janice successfully ended the topic. The private room was silent, and only the sound of eating could be heard.
