A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 6 Free Fortune Telling with Uncanny Predictions
The capital city is bustling in the morning, with crowds thronging the streets and alleys.

Beside the breakfast stalls brimming with the warmth of everyday life, migrant workers eat as they walk, oblivious to the scalding heat, while leisurely elderly men and women sit on chairs with their grandchildren, savoring their meals slowly.

At the entrance of the alley, a new stall has appeared. A middle-aged man with a fierce face, wearing sunglasses, a simple T-shirt and shorts, has set up a small table with a sign that reads "Indecisive Predictions, Free Fortune Telling".

It attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Sigh, these young people nowadays, all they do is engage in crooked and wicked practices. Back in our glorious days..."

"No, free fortune telling? Is this guy doing charity work because he's financially secure? Or is he searching for the meaning of life?"

"Want to go up and give it a try? It's free anyway."

"You don't believe me when I say you're naive? It's all a scam! Fortune telling is free, but if someone predicts you'll suffer a bloody disaster soon, do you expect them to pay for peace?"

The uncle, whose fierce appearance was somewhat concealed by sunglasses, was quite cheerful and didn't get angry at the surrounding residents' discussions: "I am Huang Tiekou, and yesterday I was fortunate enough to receive divine instruction!"

"I'm out here to tell fortunes only to verify the magic of immortality. If you don't believe me, feel free to come up and have your fortune told. It's absolutely free!"

"If I sell amulets or collect money, you're all welcome to smash my stall! I mean what I say, you can record it!"

The onlookers who were sitting around having breakfast immediately became interested.

Wow, so arrogant?
It's all about divine instruction, smashing up stalls, and allowing people to record audio and video at will?
So confident in yourself?

A middle school student jumped out and said, "Uncle, can you calculate whether I have money in my left pocket or my right pocket?"

It's only now that we live in this day and age. A few years later, with electronic payments becoming ubiquitous, practically no one will carry cash anymore.

The surrounding crowd watched the spectacle with amusement, all glancing at Huang Tiekou with amusement.

I told you to keep up appearances and show off, now you've embarrassed yourself, haven't you?

No one believes that fortune tellers can predict which pocket has money.

Huang Tiekou was very happy. He took out a white crystal pendulum with his left hand, stretched his arm straight, and muttered, "Put the money in the left pocket..."

As he chanted, the pendulum moved on its own without wind, swinging slightly counterclockwise. It was incredibly miraculous, and Huang Tiekou was greatly excited: "Put your money in your right pocket!"

The middle school student was a little incredulous. After muttering for a while, he nodded in agreement and took out a ten-yuan note from his right pocket.

I walked back to my original spot in a daze, not even in the mood for breakfast. I started thinking about whether I should skip school and become Huang Tiekou's apprentice.

The onlookers added fuel to the fire, and the discussion exploded: "How could they calculate that? Do they have X-ray vision?"

"Is this kid a plant?"

"Impossible. This child is from our alley. I've watched him grow up since he was a child. There's no way he would act as a shill for this person."

"That means... I've encountered a true deity? Master, you're truly amazing! Please help me predict my fortune!"

Some people, however, remained unconvinced and slammed their fists on the table, shouting, "Master, why don't you come and calculate whose soy milk didn't have sugar added?"

Huang Tiekou was overjoyed. He never expected to meet such a master yesterday and learn something truly valuable!

Without even considering refusing, she readily accepted and used the same trick again, quickly using a pendulum to divine that it was a bowl of soy milk without sugar, which convinced everyone.

The guests at that table even stood up to shake hands with Huang Tiekou, invited him to sit down and dine with them, and actively inquired about the origin of Huang Tiekou's skills.

People tend to have great respect for truly skilled masters, and now no one dared to underestimate Huang Tiekou. Many were even more eager to approach him for divination, hoping that Master Huang Tiekou could guide them on how to get rich or inquire about their marriage prospects.

Huang Tiekou was all smiles, welcoming everyone who came for a fortune telling, charging no fees whatsoever, simply to serve everyone.

For some reason, Huang Tiekou, who possessed this skill, never thought of using it for personal gain; he only wanted to provide free divination services to everyone.

Hidden in the deepest corner of the crowd, Xu Lie's clone took out his phone and sent a text message to his main body: 'The divination was successful. No cost has been detected yet. Continued observation is still needed.'

Because the current sequence is still relatively low, if the distance between the clone and the main body is too far, then information cannot be transmitted directly.

They need to use their phones to communicate, which is how thieves operate; they won't lack phones.

The revered fortune teller Huang Tiekou was nothing more than an experimental subject and a pre-selected parasitic target put forward by Xu Lie and his ilk.

Xu Lie had no interest in remembering Huang Tiekou's real name; he only knew that Huang was a fraudster involved in pyramid schemes, and that the name was just something he made up.

His swindling and deception harmed several families. While Xu Lie was engrossed in creating his clone at a roadside inn, Huang Tiekou knocked on the door, attempting to lure the inn's guests into his scheme.

As a result, Xu Lie used his persuasive skills to easily fool him, and he confessed everything honestly.

The Thief's Path Sequence 8, the Scammer, not only gains increased agility and speed, but also primarily enhanced charm, eloquence, and persuasive speech, making every word more convincing.

After advancing to Sequence 7, his deception ability, though not enhanced, did not disappear either; he easily tricked Huang Tiekou into surrendering.

Huang Tiekou completely believed that Xu Lie was the god in myths and legends, and voluntarily took the Sequence 9 Diviner's Potion prepared by Xu Lie on the spot.

Furthermore, Huang Tiekou still remembered the 'test' Xu Lie had given him.

Firstly, it is forbidden to reveal any information about Xu Lie; secondly, it is forbidden to use divination for personal gain.

Thirdly, Huang Tiekou is doing what he does now: offering free divination to more people, but they cannot participate; they can only provide advice. They should respect fate and believe that as long as they persist for a period of time, they will pass the test.

It is because of Huang Tiekou's unwavering faith in these people that he went out early this morning to tell fortunes for free everywhere.

Xu Lie gave this gift for two reasons. First, he wanted to see why divination could succeed without the presence of a spirit world. Second, did he need to pay some price for frequently performing divination?
Secondly, Xu Lie planned to pray and create a Sequence 4 Parasite Talisman, so that when Huang Tiekou digested the Diviner's Potion and advanced to Sequence 8 Clown, he could directly parasitize and control Huang Tiekou.

This allows the parasitized Huang Tiekou to recite the honorific name, pray to Yuanbao, transcend the limitations of the three-tier sequence, and request the creation of the faceless man's talisman in the sequence 6 of the Diviner's Path.

This is also for the sake of the many clones. At present, Xu Lie cannot parasitize others at will and change his appearance in countless ways.

The only way to change the faces of the clones is by relying on the Faceless Man's extraordinary abilities.

Otherwise, if more than a dozen clones with Xu Lie's appearance were to pour out of the hotel all at once, the relevant departments would probably come to inspect the human cloning device the next day.

Of course, Xu Lie has only created eleven clones so far, not that many, but there will definitely be more clones in the future.

It is necessary to have the Faceless Man's power talisman.

The nine clones resided in the nine source substances, bringing them peace and relieving them of the torment of frequent headaches and restlessness.

The other two clones are now monitoring Huang Tiekou, while the other has returned to the preparatory class to continue his studies and take the opportunity to steal some dragon blood materials.

After preparing the Diviner's Potion for Huang Tiekou, Xu Lie had very little Dragon Blood material left and urgently needed to replenish it.

Kassel is a large and powerful company; taking a small cut shouldn't be a problem.
