Where Chen Laodeng’s Mundane Heart Resides (6.4K must see)_3 “Heart Refining Master, they, they asked me to find you, saying you are an omnipotent Immortal, and I, I really have no other way…”

“Old woman, there’s no need to be nervous.”

Chen Dengming smiled softly while subtly releasing his Divine Sense.

It not only shielded them from the oppressive gaze of the nearby Cultivators but also soothed the old woman’s mind as he spoke.

“Regardless of who suggested you come to me, their advice was not wrong.

Whatever you need help with, just speak freely.”

Upon hearing this, the old woman’s suspended heart relaxed, feeling that this Immortal was not as cold and fearsome as others had said but rather as kind as her son who had become a Cultivator.

She said with tears of gratitude, “I’ve heard that you can divine the future with great accuracy, and whatever you predict always comes true.

...

My child has been conscripted to the front lines.

As an old mother, I simply cannot rest easy and yet I am powerless to aid my child.

The only thing I can do is to beseech you, old Immortal, to divine my child’s fate and see if he can return safely…”

The surrounding Cultivators, who were initially indifferent, showed a slight change in their expressions upon hearing this.

They hadn’t expected that the old woman had a son who was a Cultivator, one who had returned from a battlefield outside their domain no less.

As she spoke, she took out a slip of paper from her bosom.

“Old Immortal, this is my child’s birth date and time.

The last time he went to the front lines, about two years ago, he lost an arm but fortunately returned with his life.

This time, I hope he can come back safely again, even if he loses another arm—that would still be better than losing his life.”

“Alas, I have only this one son, and he refuses to marry and have children.

Old Immortal, you tell me about this cultivation; I don’t understand it.

Can’t those who practice the Dao of Immortality marry and have children…”

Her rambling faded as she seemed to realize she had spoken too much, and she offered Chen Dengming an apologetic and uneasy smile.

Some Cultivators waiting in line behind her couldn’t help but shake their heads with a bitter smile, not knowing whether to laugh at the ignorance, pity, or foolishness of this mortal.

What exactly had she come here for, to have her fortune told, or to make a wish?

If Heart Refining Master divined that her son faced a treacherous fate and was likely to encounter disaster on the battlefield, wouldn’t that leave the old woman unsettled, perhaps even passing away from fear before her son?

Or should the Heart Refining Master tell a lie, even if he foresaw a grim situation for her son, just to appease the temporary peace of mind of this mortal with a so-called kind heart, thereby tarnishing his own reputation?

Thus, would the Heart Refining Master, known for his kindness to mortals, show his generosity this time?

Many Cultivators pondered this question, looking forward to seeing how Heart Refining Master would handle the situation, no longer impatient with a mortal queuing before them.

At that moment, Chen Dengming looked at the old woman’s face, as wrinkled and parched as dried orange peel, and sighed in his heart.

Over the past year, indeed, he had delved into extracurricular divination arts such as the “Purple Micro Numbers” and “Liuren Divine Calculation” while contemplating the Dao of Immortality, using them to sense the Heavenly Will while divining auspicious and inauspicious outcomes for others.

With his formidable abilities as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, combined with insights into Heavenly Will and Blessing, divining for Qi Cultivation practitioners was naturally accurate without exception.

The old woman didn’t need to hand over her son’s birth data; with just a glance at her lifespan and Blessing, he knew that her son’s journey to the battlefield this time was more likely to be perilous than not.

However, just as many Cultivators had guessed, since he, the Heart Refining Master, was kind-hearted, how could he not help the old woman?

In this world, mortals are as numerous as the stars.

He couldn’t help everyone, nor could he always intervene.

Yet now that he had encountered her, it was what both the Buddhist and Taoist teachings would refer to as Karmic Dharma.

Fate should be so.

With nothing more than a gesture, he could fulfill her heart’s desires and clear her mind.

Then why not lend a hand and forgo the disdainful detachment of old Buddha and Taoist ways?

Upon this thought, silver Daoist Scripts within his sea of consciousness began to flicker and accelerate their dissolution and refinement.

“Old woman, I’ve completed the divination for you.

Your child should be free from worry for the time being.

When you return, have him marry and have children.

That might change his fortune for the better and maybe in the future, he can be without worry…”

Chen Dengming pretended to divine for a while and then calmly smiled, handing back the slip of paper with the birth data.

“Really?

Really?”

The old woman was overcome with joy, as if a heavy stone in her heart had been lifted.

Believing firmly in the words of an old Immortal respected by many, she knew that her son would surely be safe this time and immediately bowed deeply in gratitude.

Other Cultivators watched, some skeptical, some even considering whether to follow the case to see if Heart Refining Master would be made a fool of.

Only a few who had been divined by Chen Dengming before knew the old woman’s child would be alright, and they sighed at her good fortune.

The old woman, tearfully grateful and feeling indebted, tremblingly produced a small bundle of crushed Spiritual Grain wrapped in a handkerchief as recompense.

Chen Dengming refused with a smile, “Old woman, your payment has already been accepted.

A sincere heart is the best payment.

To take more would be greed on my part.”

After speaking, he waved his sleeve, instructing a boy nearby to escort the old woman away.

…

“Brother Chen, that old woman’s child, did you really divine that he would be safe?”

After seeing off the hundredth guest, Jiang Qiang inquired of Chen Dengming in the courtyard’s hall.

Chen Dengming raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter?

Qiangzi, you doubt my divination abilities?

Or do you think that divining for a mortal was a losing proposition?”
