On the way back home.
Zuo Xiaoduo was even feeling a little emotional.
Dad was too generous today, he was so generous that Fangxian couldn’t believe it. The bestseller of the shop, the Star soul jade was just handed over to him almost too impatiently…
In a moment, a feeling of overwhelming fatherly love had overcome Zuo Xiaoduo.
Humph… Dad, I knew you loved you!
“Although you don’t say it, I know; when I finally earn some money, I will get someone else to replace your wife; No matter how many you need, just tell me, if one is too few for you, ten is also not much; find a hundred and eighty of them and get them to work; If each earns a thousand each month, in a month it would be ten thousand plus; keep this on for a few decades, give them all to Zuo Xiaoduo… ” Zuo Xiaoduo sung as he leisurely strolled home.
In the afternoon, Mom and Dad were not home, Xiaonian sis was also not at home. This was a great opportunity to experiment on his own. The incomplete jade pendant on his chest seems to have sensed Zuo Xiaoduo’s harvests, that it actually started burning a little.
Back home.
Zuo Xiaoduo poured everything out onto the tabletop, calmed his mind, washed his hands, and drew two Yin yang fishes that he only managed to see within his dreams on the white jade with an ink pen.
Comparing it carefully with the dream in his memory, he decided that it had very little difference and finally took a deep breath. With a dagger, he mercilessly slashed the tip of his right middle finger.
Blood started dripping.
“It hurts.”
However, the pain was very secondary. Zuo Xiaoduo immediately pressed the bleeding middle finger onto the white jade. He shuddered and forcibly held back, smearing his blood onto the painted Yin Yang fishes.
Little by little, one of the Yin yang fishes was thoroughly smeared with blood; only blank eyes were left, while the other fish had blood over its eyes, the rest of its body was still white, outlined with traces of blood.
Blood already smeared half of the paper and the blood coagulated, hence another slice…
Finally, the two Yin yang fishes turned into two bloody fishes.
Fearing that it wasn’t enough, Zuo Xiaoduo cut his finger again, dripping blood all over the surface, as much as he could…
After waiting for an hour, the blood on it looked like it had dried up. He cut open the wound on his fingertips yet again and after three times, at the moment when it was fully fed with blood, the Star Soul jade was placed directly between the two Yin yang fishes.
Instantly, he buckled the incomplete jade pendant on the star soul jade. At that very moment, the white jade suddenly emitted a dazzling bloody glow, rose up and rapidly enveloping the star soul jade and then the incomplete jade pendant.
With a loud bang, a beaming light shined brightly within a three feet radius, shrouding Zuo Xiaoduo’s body within.
Immediately, the white jade along with the star soul jade and the incomplete jade pendant floated in the air, orbiting each other. The bloody light became brighter, causing the star soul jade to fade in front of the naked eye, and finally turned into powder and vanished. Suddenly, two fishes appeared in the air, circling each other just above his head. Then the Yin yang fishes rushed into the center of Zuo Xiaoduo’s eyebrows.
Countless information turned into streams of streaking light beams, shooting through his consciousness!
Zuo Xiaoduo felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train, and suddenly his consciousness was scattered into a sky full of stars.
Thump!
It sounded as though a piece of wood slammed directly on top of the flat floor surface.
He fell flat on the soft cushion which he had already prepared.
For a moment, there was something strange in his mind…
……
When he was still passed out, a ray of light rose from his chest and then rushed straight into the awakened Star soul in his Dantian (an acupuncture point two inches below the belly button).
His Star soul, which was originally a lifeless weak flame, exploded into a fury, spreading all over his body. His meridians were running with the light of Star soul, the surface of his entire body was brimming with a nebulous luminous light.
In that instant, he was like a small sun, emitting light which was so dazzling that he could not be looked at directly.
Immediately, the light collected back into his Dantian, the blaze was still ablaze, however, it burned vigorously with vitality.
The color of the flame slowly changed, from red to dark purple…
With every movement, there was a trace of energy that expanded all over the whole body.
……
After some time later.
Zuo Xiaoduo woke up and murmured: “... A Nobel complexion… what’s that? ”
……
Countless knowledge flowed into his mind, causing Zuo Xiaoduo to feel a splitting headache. After a long while, he finally sorted out, and couldn't help but mutter: "Was I really a swindler before?"
No matter.
What is now flooding his mind, including Vientiane, is a complete set of physiognomy!
“A Nobel complexion!”
"All existence has a physical appearance, the heaven has its secrets, and the land has landforms; mountains have their heights, waters have their depths, grasses have their luxuries, trees have their roots... the physiognomy of people is basically the same!"
"Life and death, blessings and misfortune, a simple gaze see past all; the previous life and the next life, past and future, at a glance..."
"The destiny of man, the destiny of heaven; life and death, fortune depended on fate, which is called destiny. Yin yang metamorphoses are alive, and are revealed under the eyes of the Nobel complexion… "
Finally, asides from physiognomy, there was the ‘Eyes of luck’.
"Additional benefits?" Zuo Xiaoduo muttered to himself: "The eyes of luck, with a single luck point, you can see a person's misfortune and good fortune for the next three months? Luck points… one drop for each reading? Ten drops for a luck point? Could be used to improve cultivation level?..."
“Confused… ”
Finally, Zuo Xiaoduo understood. The Nobel complexion, the aspect of all things, right now, he could only come into contact with the human physiognomy; other things are not accessible yet.
And now he was only a beginner physiognomist, the apprenticeship stage. At this stage, you can only look at some basics, commonly known as… A swindler.
If you want to see a person's specific misfortunes and fortunes within three months, you need to use luck points and see with the eyes of luck. The luck point can only be obtained after the corresponding physiognomy examination.
If you want to upgrade and improve your cultivation level, you must constantly read faces and continue to testify the reading, to gain luck points and improve your abilities. Then you can read more faces and get more…
All in all, just one sentence: Physiognomy! Keep on reading face! Just keep repeating this pattern…
The Luck Points are obtained by looking at the physiognomy of someone, can be used to increase the grade of the physiognomist, as well as the martial arts cultivation, and it can also be used to see a person's fortune for the next three months.
"This is forcing me to go and never return on the path of the psychic..." Zuo Xiaoduo gasped in a cold breath: "But how can an honest person like me become a swindler?"
Zuo Xiaoduo was depressed.
He felt that with his upright and generous nature, a bright open mind, a heart which worries for his nation and people, to share wills and woes with the world… right… I shouldn’t be able to do lie and cheat, because won’t this be forcing the good-natured to turn to evil.
Am I that type of person?!
However, after he learned more about it, his mood suddenly changed.
“Fucking Awesome!”
Zuo Xiaoduo took a deep breath.
"Even if I can't become a master in the future, just with this set of skills alone, I can still travel all over the world, eat and drink whatever I want!"
“Actually to become a psychic, would be quite honorable… and it won’t impact my upright morale image… ”
“It’s just… where was the eyes of luck which were formed by the white jade and Yin yang fishes, as well as the incomplete jade pendant and star soul jade… ?”
……
In a flash of a moment, his eyes felt sore.
It soured.
Zuo Xiaoduo blinked twice and suddenly an overwhelming sourness seemed to pour out of the depths of his soul. He started bursting into tears when he was caught off guard, and tears flooded like water rushing past open gates.
His eyes were like a small river stream, gushing non-stop.
“I… Fuck!”
“I haven’t cried in years… is this me making up for the tears I have held back all this time?...” Zuo Xiaoduo was sobbing fanatically, he felt his eyes were like two streaming rivers.
“Doggy!”
As soon as Zuo Xiaonian entered the room, she saw Zuo Xiaoduo breaking down in tears, appearing to be crying extremely sadly. Her heart trembled and said in shock: “Duoduo, what happened? Why are you… crying?”
Zuo Xiaoduo wiped his tears frantically: “I am not… crying… ”
For a moment, he felt like shit deep down, pathetic even. A big dignified masculine man like him getting caught weeping was already bad enough… but he just couldn’t stop!
Tears were just streaming non-stop.
Zuo Xiaonian gazed at him blankly and suddenly sighed. She walked in, took Zuo Xiaoduo into her arms, took a deep breath, and trembled: “Xiaoduo… don’t cry, you will definitely be able to cultivate martial arts… I promise, no matter at what cause, I will find a way for you to start cultivation...”
Zuo Xiaoduo burst into tears: “I’m not… ”
“I understand!” Zuo Xiaonian held his head tightly and started shedding tears as well: “I have always been thinking of a solution, ah, don’t cry… ”
Zuo Xiaoduo: ……
I’m really not crying… I just can’t hold back tears…
Zuo Xiaonian, don’t hug me so tightly, I think I am about to be suffocated…
His tears were like a fountain that couldn’t stop flowing. Zuo Xiaoduo felt as if his body had almost lost all of its water content. Just when Zuo Xiaonian also started crying and as Zuo Xiaoduo was feeling a little desperate, his tears had stopped miraculously.
Zuo Xiaoduo struggled out of Zuo Xiaonian’s arms, gasping for air. He looked up at Zuo Xiaonian and felt a little embarrassed: “I really wasn’t crying because I couldn’t cultivate… Huh?!”
As he was talking, he was stunned.
He only felt that his heart had suddenly stopped pumping.
Just as his gaze was on Zuo Xiaonian’s face, a chill suddenly crept up his eyebrows and rushed into his eyes.
Then, he suddenly saw a line of words floating out of Zuo Xiaonian’s face.
……
Zuo Xiaonian, Female, 19 years old, at the peak of Taixi stage; Two and a half months later, in the Gold crystal chamber of the martial arts academy, dies of obsessive derangement when her breakthrough into the Danyuan stage was interrupted.
On the way back home.
Zuo Xiaoduo was even feeling a little emotional.
