Jiang Qiang forced a laugh and said, “Of course I’m clear, Brother Chen, you’ve always treated commoners and cultivators the same, after all, you yourself have walked this very path.

It’s just that…”

“Haha.”

Chen Dengming shook his head and smiled, “I know you are also touched by the deep love of this old woman for her child, so you’re tense and paying close attention.”

In fact, I just told a lie.

The moment her child steps onto the battlefield, he would undoubtedly be dead.”

“Ah!?”

Jiang Qiang stood frozen, feeling as if his blood had suddenly turned cold.

It wasn’t that he had frightened himself, but he was scared by Chen Dengming, worried that Chen Dengming had just ruined his reputation.

“Look at you, being so silly,”

Chen Dengming laughed and pointed at Jiang Qiang’s feet, “You tell me, are my predictions accurate?

...

Are the shoes you are wearing today in good condition or are they bad?”

Jiang Qiang was taken aback, looked down, and then laughed, “Brother Chen, don’t my shoes obviously look just fine?

Why even predict that?”

“If I, as the master, were to predict, I would say you’re wearing bad shoes,” Chen Dengming pointed.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiang’s shoes caught fire.

“Oh my, oh wow!”

Jiang Qiang hurriedly hopped and jumped around trying to stomp out the flames, and upon examining his shoes, he found them smoking and burnt to the point of revealing two red toes.

He couldn’t help but look up in astonishment.

“Brother Chen, what is this…”

Chen Dengming sipped his tea, unruffled, “You see, isn’t the Heart Refining Master’s prediction accurate?

Aren’t the shoes you’re wearing today bad ones?”

Jiang Qiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; this wasn’t any kind of prediction—it was a brute force prediction, utterly unreasonable, to the extreme.

But in an instant, his eyes lit up, “Brother Chen, are you saying…”

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, stood up with his hands clasped behind his back, walked to the door, and looked towards the distant mountains, “In this realm of Longevity, not all Loose Cultivators who are conscripted are under my control at the Longevity Sect, but naturally I have the final say.”

Jiang Qiang understood, and looking towards Chen Dengming’s towering figure, he sighed, “But Brother Chen, even if you are the Sect Master of Longevity Sect, with war breaking out and turbulent times upon us, there are so many commoners, even more wretched ones.

How can you possibly help them all?”

Chen Dengming chuckled, “Who said I would help them all?

It’s just that my initial intent is here; I always remember the heroic spirit nurtured in my chest from the old days, splitting heaven and earth with my sword, but I am no saint.

I can only help those with whom I have a connection, and take care of my own mood.

We cultivators cultivate the heart and must not forget our original intention, acting on our whims…

only in this way can our spirits be broad-minded, unobstructed, and invincible!”

Jiang Qiang felt these words resonate deeply with him, plainly spoken from Brother Chen, yet more powerful than any passionate speech, making his blood boil with excitement.

At that moment, Chen Dengming added, “To help others to the end, you send Buddha all the way to the west.

Qiangzi, resume your identity and return to the sect for a visit.

Recruit the old woman’s child as a cultivator recovering from post-war under the guise of a servant disciple at the Evergreen Sect, to prevent anyone from harming their family because of me.”

Jiang Qiang was stunned, then came to understand the intricacy of the matter, and couldn’t help admiring Chen Dengming’s meticulous thoughts.

After all, Chen Dengming is now the Heart Refining Master and well-known as a Divine Calculator in Chang’an Market.

People there used to trouble him when they didn’t know any better.

After being taught a lesson, they wouldn’t dare to trouble the Heart Refining Master anymore, but you can’t be sure they won’t take their anger out on the old woman’s family, just to ruin Chen Dengming’s reputation for divine calculation.

This reputation is trivial, but if it inadvertently causes harm to an innocent family, that would truly be calamitous.

…

After Jiang Qiang had left,

Chen Dengming ascended alone to the western chamber, closed the door, calmed his mind, and observed the Daoist Scripts in his sea of consciousness that were already half assimilated.

Now, the Dao Force of Human Immortal within the sea of consciousness, like transforming from a big river into a great river, was vast and mighty, having grown substantially since a year ago.

All this was the result of refining the heart at the Heart Refining Miscellaneous Shop over the past year.

Many Qi Cultivation cultivators, even Jiang Qiang, might not understand what refining the heart means, or why he also helps commoners without discrimination.

This, however, is his way of refining the heart, and also of self-examination.

Asking whether the original intention of his past still exists.

If it does, then today’s heart refining process is consolidation, following the heart’s desires within the Karmic Dharma, seeking enlightenment in a single thought.

In fact, for many cultivators who have interacted with him over the past year,

This was also their ‘fateful encounter with immortality.’ Seizing it could change their destiny.”

But ironically, in the past year, the only ones who truly grasped such a fateful encounter were just two commoners.

One, with true sincerity, exchanged for medicine that saved a loved one who was a cultivator.

The other, with true sincerity, exchanged for a chance to change their child’s destiny, ensuring temporary peace of mind.

In exchange for his heart, Chen Dengming gained pleasure, satisfaction, and enlightenment, along with sincerity and insight, which accelerated his assimilation of the Daoist Scripts of Human Immortal Dao.

No wonder Buddhism says that saving a life is more meritorious than building a stupa of seven stories; the Dao says that virtue is limitless!

Perhaps when one enters the path of refining the heart in their cultivation, all paths of The Great Dao converge; where the heart goes, the Dao Heart follows…
