Chapter 100: Chapter 93: The Invincible Path of Double Pupils (Part 2)

The young man’s expression was somewhat gloomy, "That’s how it should be according to logic."

Thinking of this, he no longer hid anything, "As far as I know, there are two ways to leave here."

"First, sometimes Ghost Street intersects with the living world. During that moment, if you rush into the intersection in one go, you have a chance to leave."

"Second, the Ghost Cultivators I’ve seen use a strange talisman to leave after trading here."

"When the talisman paper is completely burned, it turns into a blue smoke that envelops them, then they disappear."

"The former is too much of a gamble; you’ve just stormed in through the intersection, it might not be so easy to leave the same way again."

Chu Xuan stroked his chin and said, "So you suggest that we go and rob those Ghost Cultivators?"

The young man shook his head, "At least in the past few days, I haven’t seen any trace of Ghost Cultivators, and there’s no need to rob, such talismans are for sale on Ghost Street."

At this moment, Qingqing asked curiously, "Judging by your tone, you seem to know this place well. Won’t those intelligent ghosts eat you?"

"They would like to, but as I said, Ghost Street has its rules. Since those wandering around won’t actively eat me, the ones who have enough skill to open shops naturally can’t eat me either."

"Have you bought anything here?" This time, it was Chu Xuan who asked.

"Although you don’t have ghost money, you can buy with lifespans."

"Isn’t there anything being sold on such a large Ghost Street that can help you seek revenge?"

The young man’s face showed some regret, "There is, but my life is so cheap, I can’t afford them."

"Once a ghost checked my lifespan and said I could only live to the age of twenty-one."

"That means I only have seven years of life left, with such little capital, I can only buy some useless things, so I have never bought anything."

"Those shopkeepers all look down upon me, if I get close, they just tell me to get lost."

Speaking of this, the young man forced a stiff smile, "I keep fantasizing about turning into a fierce ghost after I die, maybe then I might have a chance for revenge."

Qingqing looked at him with a bit of sympathy, "There is such a chance, but it’s very low."

"Moreover, by then you’ll probably be no different from the other wandering souls and ghosts, you won’t remember you have revenge to seek."

Qingqing’s words made the young man’s expression freeze completely.

After a while, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, someone like me, a lone star, is useless alive and equally useless dead."

But Chu Xuan shook his head, he reached out, patted the young man’s shoulder, and said seriously:

"Your words are incorrect, Dual Pupils are the path to invincibility, why rely on others’ hands?"

"One day, you’ll be able to destroy this Ghost Street with your bare hands!"

The young man was stunned by Chu Xuan’s words.

Qingqing also looked at Chu Xuan with a strange expression and stepped a little away, indicating she didn’t know this guy.

Chu Xuan wasn’t bothered, he just continued, "To tell you the truth, I am known as the ’Iron Mouth Divine Fortune Teller.’ You tell me your eight characters, and I’ll calculate whether you are really a lone star."

The young man hesitated, "Is it the birth time?"

"Yes, report the year, month, day, and hour to me."

So the young man recalled and recited them one by one, Chu Xuan calculated with his fingers, then his expression stiffened a bit.

Simply from an astrology perspective, he indeed had the fate of a lone star, bringing disaster to father, mother, wife, and child, and also a premature death, which is utterly terrible.

Chu Xuan grabbed the young man’s right hand, flipped it open for a look, and indeed saw a disruptive pattern in his palm, another piece of evidence.

Of course, Chu Xuan couldn’t embarrass himself, and surely he couldn’t tell the young man to obediently resign to fate and wait for death? That’s not his style!

So Chu Xuan let go of the hand, coughed and said, "Do you know what having Dual Pupils means?"

Qingqing seriously interjected, "It means having two pupils."

Chu Xuan ignored her; as for the young man, he just shook his head confusedly.

Chu Xuan, using a classic mystic’s tone, said, "Dual Pupils, also known as ’Double Hua,’ have always been a unique and auspicious sign."

"It’s the appearance of a Holy King, like Emperor Shun; and also a sign of a Conqueror, like Xiang Yu."

"Dual Pupils symbolize receiving commands from the heavens and transcending the ordinary, so you must not lose heart at this moment."

"Therefore, I bestow upon you one Immortal Technique and three Immortal Elixirs, hoping your future achievements won’t disappoint me."

Upon hearing, the young man was somewhat surprised and ecstatic, the words ’Master’ almost escaped his lips, even wanting to kneel and bow.

But Chu Xuan stopped him, "Don’t misunderstand, I am not accepting you as my disciple, nor will I guide your cultivation."

"It’s just due to fate that I impart Immortal Technique to you today."

"If you truly can’t enter the path, then it’s simply fate, blame no one else."

"But if you can embark on the cultivation path, you can extend your life; the Qi Cultivation Stage only slightly increases lifespan, so you must at least reach Foundation Establishment."

"Once Foundation Establishment is successful, your lifespan will increase by two hundred years instantly."

"By then, with such ’capital,’ you can buy what you desire on Ghost Street and find ways to enhance your strength."

"Continuing like this, one day, you’ll take revenge with your own hands!"

Chu Xuan’s words made the young man feel his entire body boiling with passion, tears in his eyes as he nodded firmly.

"Thank you, thank you, Immortal Master, for giving me this opportunity. Gan Yun swears he will never let you down."
