Looking back, it was all like a fairyland.

"Actually, Su Mu didn't know these innate gods were so wealthy at first. It was the result of one of the innate gods showing off, hahaha."

Mirage Dragon's face turned dark.

"You don't need to be so roundabout in your insults. Before you make any insinuations, could you please refrain from looking at me so obviously? You might as well just say my name directly."

"I'm stating the facts."

"I didn't say what you said wasn't true." The mirage dragon felt that he and this goat were incompatible.

"So, because a certain innate deity boasted about it, Su Mu belatedly realized he could kill three birds with one stone, and thus developed a great interest in innate deities."

"But... now he might not need it anymore, because what he gained this time is enough to propel him to a higher realm. The rules of heaven and earth become dispensable, and naturally, the interest of the innate deities in his eyes will greatly diminish."

"Actually, I didn't want to care about your life or death, because you've brought trouble."

"It was just a moment's thought; you should thank me for what I did back then." The old goat finished speaking and took a sip of wine.

After hearing this, Cao Chen understood.

His own revelation of the innate deities was merely the trigger; what truly saved him was the old goat's single-minded decision at that moment.

To this, Cao Chen could only say: "Thank you for saving my life."

The old goat didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

Cao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thanked God. In fact, he was just glad that the trouble he caused did not cause much damage to the old goat, or in other words, this little loss did not hurt the old goat, so he was particularly tolerant.

If he was hurt, or suffered a loss that made the old goat feel pained, he would no longer be facing the kind-hearted old goat, and it was doubtful whether he could even have his meal at the table.

As expected, sometimes fate is so strange.

Thinking of this, he fell silent again.

The old goat drank alone, the mirage dragon stared at the falling snow in a daze, and Cao Chen stared at the wine glass, not knowing what he was thinking.

The snow stopped not long after it fell, and there was not even any snow left on the ground. Only some white snow hung on the branches of some trees.

Time passed quickly, as if it had accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, it was spring of the next year.

It's spring again. During this period, the old goat is still lazy. Occasionally he picks up martial arts to practice for a short while. Most of the time he spends in boredom, but the old goat enjoys the feeling of doing nothing.

After being reserved at first, Cao Chen let loose and didn't learn his lesson. He went back to his old profession in Jiading Prefecture, setting up a stall to continue fortune telling and divination. Surprisingly, he actually made a name for himself, with a constant stream of people coming to him for divination every day. The name "Half-Immortal Cao" really spread far and wide.

Although Cao Chen behaves timidly in front of Old Sheep and others, he actually has real skills. He set up a stall in the east of the city and tells three hexagrams every day, each hexagram earning half a gold coin, all based on fate.

This attitude, coupled with his own abilities, not only does not make him seem artificial, but instead gives him the demeanor of a master.

This left the old goat puzzled, so he squatted beside and watched for a while, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he did enjoy watching a lively scene.

That was the brawl between Cao Banxian and Xu Xiazi, who was also a colleague of Cao Chen. One was in the east of the city and the other in the west. But since Cao Chen came, his fresh and unworldly style had snatched away most of Xu Xiazi's customers.

Taking away someone's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents.

Even though the distance between the east and west sides of the city was very far, Blind Xu would still take the trouble to run over and overturn Cao Chen's stall to cause trouble, and then the two would fight. Blind Xu would be the loser every time. Today he would have a tooth knocked out, and tomorrow he would have a swollen eye socket. But no matter what, he would come and lose, and he never got tired of it.

This made Cao Chen feel very uncomfortable and aggrieved, but he had no way to deal with Blind Xu. He was a dog-skin plaster. He came to him even though he couldn't beat him. This was just to prevent Cao Chen from doing anything too excessive.

There's no other way... just beat him. It's not you who's in pain anyway. Beat him every day, every day, and he'll become a beautiful landscape.

"Master Cao and Blind Xu are fighting again!!"

Someone shouted on the street, and everyone turned around. Some people even held a bowl of wontons in their hands, eating while watching. There were many people like him, and it was almost getting used to it. If they were not beaten one day, they might not be used to it.

Cao Chen grabbed an old man with gray hair and gray eyes and beat him to death. The old man also began to resist, but in panic he slapped around with his hands and did not do much damage at all.

Although he was not very powerful, Blind Xu fought with an attitude of "no one else can do it but me". Although he was being beaten, it did not seem like he was being beaten, but rather that they were fighting each other.

How to say it, the importance of momentum.

The fight ended quickly, and Blind Xu, whose other eye was swollen, became blind.

"I won't let you get away with this." Blind Xu said fiercely and stormed off. Halfway there, whether his eyesight was blurry or something else, he tripped on the road and fell flat on his face.

He got up and left with a tough attitude, as if he had won the fight. He had an inexplicable confidence and momentum. Otherwise, how could he be as famous as Cao Chen?

The other party is also a capable person. His fortune-telling is not real, but it is not like Cao Chen's. Instead, he relies on observation and an excellent brain to deduce the answer he wants through a few details. Otherwise, so many people would not believe him.

Blind Xu was born with an eye disease. Perhaps because of this, his other perceptions have reached an extraordinary level. Coupled with a brain that is much smarter than that of ordinary people, he showed an extraordinary talent for fortune-telling when he was a child.

If it weren't for his eye disease, he would have been able to get a job as an official.

Unfortunately, he met Cao Chen.

The all-round crushing made him extremely unbalanced. In fact, he was just unhappy, but he didn't have any bad intentions. He blamed others when he was beaten, even though it was his own fault. Moreover, he didn't actually delay Cao Chen's business. In the final analysis, he was just unhappy, and he would be unhappy if he didn't get beaten.

Cao Chen was actually a little older than Blind Xu, and treated him like a naughty child, although the child did not look like a child and was very talented.

The main reason was that he was very talented and Cao Chen valued talent. He had offered to teach him more than once, but every time he did so, he would hesitate. Yes, it was not out of anger or for the sake of face, but hesitation.

Cao Chen knew what he was hesitating about. It was just a promise he made in his childhood. He knew that Cao Chen was extraordinary, but he had promised his master that he would only have one person as his master in this life, even though his master had been dead for many years.
