Chapter 1894: Even Immortals Have to Eat
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
âSir, I want to do a divination.â When they reached the stall, Qiao Xin said, âHow much is the fee?â
âHand reading, too each.â
âThe price is okay.â
For a high-income person like Qiao Xin, too yuan for a divination didnât seem expensive.
Moreover, this was the scenic area of Yanjing. It was a good deal.
âSister Li, come quickly.â
Qiao Xin called out to Li Chuhan and Lin Yi.
âQuick, quick, quick. Come and read my fortune.â
Li Chuhan had always been an atheist, so she naturally did not believe in such things.
âItâs better if you do it. You can use this opportunity to check your future luck,â Li Chuhan said with a smile.
Although she didnât believe it, Li Chuhan didnât stop him.
She knew well that in oneâs life, not every penny could be spent wisely. Sometimes, money had to be wasted on things that brought personal pleasure.
For Qiao Xin, fortune-telling was one such pleasure.
âMy fortune is tied to yours. When you become the hospital head, I can at least get a position as a department head. So getting your fortune told is important tome.â
Qiao Xin pulled Li Chuhan over.
âSir, please tell my sisterâs fortune.â
Qiao Xin took out her phone, and the old Daoist adeptly pulled out a OR code for payment.
Not wanting to miss a chance, Qiao Xin quickly scanned it.
âCome on, miss, stretch out your hand.â
With the payment done, Li Chuhan extended her hand, curious about what the old Daoist would say.
The old Daoist carefully examined Li Chuhanâs hand, looking serious and thoughtful. After a moment, he spoke,
âYoung lady, your palm is quite extraordinary.â
âHow is it extraordinary?â Li Chuhan asked, intrigued.
âItâs a bit cold. This indicates that you are weak.â
With that, the old Taoist pulled out a small paper packet from behind him.
âThis is my homemade Six-Flavor Imperial Elixir. Take it for six months, and youâll be cured.â
Li Chuhan was amused. âAre you sure?â
âOf course itâs true. Iâve been cultivating pills for so many years. Iâm confident in this.â The old Daoist priest said.
âIf you went to a proper hospital, you wouldnât be able to treat this illness. Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise, your life would be over.â
Lin Yi watched the old Daoist with a smile, amused that the fortune-telling session had turned into a medical consultation.
Were Daoists these days expanding their services like this?
He was working so hard, he must be struggling to meet his KPIs this month.
âI am the head of cardiology at Huashan Hospital. I know my own condition. Just tell my fortune; I can handle my own health,â Li Chuhan said.
âUh⊠head of cardiology?â
The old Daoist awkwardly put away his little elixir and forced a smile.
âSince you are an expert in that field, letâs skip the health talk and continue with the fortune-telling.â
The old Daoist took Li Chuhanâs hand again, examining it closely.
âInteresting, interesting. Iâve been wandering the world for over thirty years and have never seen a career line like yours. You are destined for great success.â
Lin Yi watched the scene like a spectator at a street performance.
Li Chuhan had already revealed her professional status, so if the Daoist claimed she had any career problems, it would discredit him immediately.
âSir, look at my sisterâs love line.â
Qiao Xin spoke up. This was her primary concern and the main reason for the fortune-telling.
The old Taoist glanced at Qiao Xin and then smiled warmly. âHer hand shows that she will have both a successful career and a fulfilling love life, with many children and grandchildren in her future.â
Qiao Xinâs eyes twinkled with amusement, and she gave Li Chuhan a playful look.
âSister Li, did you hear that? He said youâll have a large, thriving family. Youâd better take good care of your health so you can have many children in the future.â
Li Chuhan blushed and said in embarrassment,
âItâs too early to talk about this.â
âWhatâs so early about that? With your and Brother Linâs physique, wouldnât it be a piece of cake for you to have a child?â
âAy, ay, just a few minutes wonât do, thatâs too short,â the old Daoist priest said with concern before pulling out a small packet of medicine from his pocket.
âThis is my carefully crafted Wild Donkey Power Pill. Not for 1999, not for 999, but only for 998. Take it, and I guarantee youâll regain your manly vigor.â
Lin Yi, ââŠâ
This guy really knew how to seize an opportunity.
He must have worked in sales before becoming a priest.
âYou should focus on the fortune-telling and stop trying to expand your business.â
âAlright, alright, you paid, so you call the shots.â
The old Daoist looked at Li Chuhanâs hand again, this time his brow furrowing deeply.
âInteresting, interesting. Young lady, your lifeline isnât looking good.â
âHmm? Whatâs wrong with it?â Qiao Xin asked nervously.
Having just had a near-death experience, Qiao Xin was particularly sensitive to these matters.
âLook here, her lifeline is only two-thirds the length of a normal personâs. This is not a good sign,â the old Daoist sighed.
Qiao Xin panicked, âSir, is there a way to fix this?â
âFor most people, there would be no solution, but since you met me, itâs a different story. I have a way to overcome this misfortune.â
âHow do we fix it? Please, sir, help my sister,â Qiao Xin asked anxiously.
âYou young girl, you shouldnât speak carelessly,â the old Daoist priest stroked his beard and said seriously.
âThis is a heavenly secret, not something to be revealed lightly. Otherwise, it would shorten my lifespan.â
âIâm sorry, Old Master. I said something wrong. What should we do?â Qiao Xin said nervously.
âNow that thereâs a problem, we canât just do nothing.â
âIf you really want to crack it, thereâs a way.â
âWhat idea? Tell me quickly.â
The old Daoist priest stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Qiao Xin, causing her to be stunned.
âAre you referring to Five Fingers Mountain? Are we supposed to go there to pray to Buddha? Is it because you canât look at it yourself that you are pushing us to Buddhism?â
â5,000 yuan.â The old Daoist priest said mysteriously.
âFor 5,000 yuan, I can help her break through this tribulation. If it werenât for the fact that you two are fated, I wouldnât have taken this risk. You have to cherish this opportunity.â
â5,000 yuan. Itâs a little expensive.â Qiao Xin was a little hesitant.
âEven immortals have to make a living.â
âOh, oh, I understand.â As she spoke, Qiao Xin took out her phone and prepared to transfer the money.
At this moment, Lin Yi grabbed her collar and dragged Qiao Xin away.
âHey, hey, hey. Brother Lin, be gentle. I canât breatheâŠâ
âLetâs go, donât waste time here,â Lin Yi said.
âAfter all, youâre a PhD student from Fudan University. Canât you have some common sense? How can you believe such words?â
âOh, oh.â Qiao Xin obediently got up and stopped looking.
âHey, hey, hey, young man, donât go.â The old Daoist priest shouted from behind.
âIâll give you a discount, 4,000 is fine, and I can extend your girlfriendâs life by 30 years. I can transfer the money from public to private, and I can also issue an invoice for reimbursement, including value-added tax.â
