Chapter 65 - Qin Yi's Luck Tribulation
"Huuuaa... what a fantastic taste, in addition to its incomparable sweetness and freshness, It's been a while since this old man felt this kind of feeling, the feeling of being standing on the top of an iceberg and breeze away by a blizzard."
"This wine must be made of Million Ice Crystal, right?"
Blind Old Man leaned against the reclaimer while drinking the bottle of wine he had just received, his face full of bliss.
"Yes."
Qin Yi answered affirmatively.
"The one who produced this wine must be an exceptionally brilliant person! He uses Million Ice Crystal as the main ingredient and mixes other ingredients that have characteristics that match the characteristics of Million Ice Crystal. Moreover, he managed to blend it perfectly."
"He must be a genius and well-known Wine Maker! Otherwise, there's no way he could produce this kind of masterpiece? What is his name, little friend?"
What is his name?
Did Wu Kun mention his grandpa's name?
(゚ー゚;
Qin Yi sweated a little as he answered hesitantly.
"Err... Grandpa Wu?
"Grandpa Wu? Never heard that name hahaha."
Blind Old Man slapped his thigh as he laughed in a drunken-flush face.
"...Ahaha"
Oh, me too
Qin Yi couldn't say it aloud and could only follow the old man's laugh.
A few minutes later, the Blind Old Man stopped drinking his wine. However, his old face still flushed slightly.
He turned to the little friend beside him.
"So, what do you want to ask, little friend? Do you want this old man to calculate your future wife? Your fate? Your luck? Or... your disaster?"
Qin Yi rubbed his finger against his nose as he started to speak.
"None of these, sir... I want to find out the whereboast of someone."
"Ho ho... You want this old man to calculate someone's location?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's easy! Do you know what that person's name was?"
"No."
Qin Yi shook his head, then he took out a shell from the Turtle Lava Dragon and showed it to Blind Old Man.
"But I have this..."
"This is the object that initially belonged to the person I was looking for."
He started to tell how this shell came into existence, including the hidden design behind the sale and how Li Hai wanted to track down the seller.
Blind Old Man listened to Qin Yi's narration, but his face didn't change slightest; he still looked like a half-drunk old man casually listening to other people's stories.
"Hmm, let me see..."
He sobered up for a little and put his finger on the shell that Qin Yi was holding.
A few moments later, he let go of his finger and looked directly at Qin Yi with his eyes closed.
"If you and your senior brother wants to find the seller of this shell, you can find him 50km south of Ancient Dragon City, enter the forest and find a cave behind a formation. From what I can see, that person won't be leaving that cave for a while, so you and your senior brother can take your time."
Qin Yi was surprised by how confidently the old man was and how accurate the information was.
This old man only touched this shell for a moment without knowing the name and origin of the person he wanted to find. Yet, this old man still managed to give an accurate answer for him.
And here, he heard the old man say again.
"However, I must warn you, this shell and its seller are not related to small matters, and you— a Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm— better stay away from this matter."
"The more you get involved, the less chance you have of escaping from this situation. As a bonus, let this old man calculate your luck..."
The next moment, Blind Old Man opened his eyes and revealed a faint purple light, looking towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was startled and secretly said in his heart 'What cool eyes!'
Is this old man actually not blind but only hiding his purple eyes?
After five breaths, Blind Old Man's eyes closed again as his face turned slightly weird.
"Weird... your luck doesn't seem to be affected by anything even though you're already involved in this messy matter. What's more, your luck is so plain?
"Plain?"
Qin Yi tilted his head in puzzlement.
"Yeah, it's plain. Generally, no matter how normal people are, their luck will still be stained with color. The darker the color, the less lucky the person is and vice versa."
"However, what I see from you is a white and plain luck. Not a single blemish can be found. That means that your luck is neither good nor bad; it just stays in the middle line."
"Normally, people like you, after getting involved with something big, their luck will be affected. At best, they will get an unimaginable chance, and at worst, they will doom and meet their end. But you are different; it looks like you weren't involved in it at all in the first place."
Blind Old Man explained it explicitly. It looked like he had yet to come up with a definite answer to his calculations.
Even Qin Yi was confused. His luck is always good; at least his luck should be brighter, right?
Did this old man miscalculate it?
Or because of system interference?
Blind Old Man continued, "However, your luck is not perpetually safe because in the near future, no specific time and situation can be seen for the time being..."
"You would meet a tribulation. When I sneaked a peak into your future, I saw a peach blossom with a bit of black stain. Although it's far from being a so-called catastrophe, it still can still lead you into unfortunate situations."
"However, I must warn you, just because this old man says women will bring you bad luck, it doesn't mean you should avoid all the women you meet. In fact, the more you avoid them, the closer this prophecy will come into your reality."
"Therefore, my advice is— be careful when you are near a particular woman but don't avoid it because although that woman can bring you bad luck, she can also bring you unimaginable good luck."
After Blind Old Man finished interpreting his prophecy, Qin Yi was quite speechless as he didn't know how to respond.
Women?
What kind of woman could make him fall into bad luck?
Ever since he plunged into the world of cultivation, he only had contact with four women, and all of them were far from being "Friends" with him.
Even when he lived on Earth and was living as a mortal in his hometown, most of his acquaintances were men, and he rarely had deep relationships with women.
Therefore, he couldn't imagine how he would fall into bad luck just because he was near a woman.
However, since the person who prophesied him was Blind Old Man, one of the well-known figures in the region, Qin Yi could not take this warning lightly.
He will be more careful around women in the future.
Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully and cupped his fist toward the old man in front of him, "I feel more at ease with the words of sir Blind Old Man. I'll pay more attention when I am near women in the future."
Blind Old Man waved his hand with ease and said.
"Okay, your turn is over, you can call the next person to come here. Remember to tell them that this old man doesn't like the same gift!"
"Yes, this one will take his leave."
Qin Yi stood up and directly walked out of the backyard.
After he came out, the next person who entered was Wu Kun.
He didn't know what Blind Old Man had predicted to Wu Kun as he was busy reporting something to Li Hai.
He recounted everything that Blind Old Man had calculated in detail, excluding calculations about his luck.
This information made Li Hai furrowed.
"Don't worry. I won't involve you too deeply. However, I was hoping you could do one more thing, and I don't think it will be too difficult for you. As long as you do it well, this senior brother will reward you handsomely."
"Yes, leave it to me, Senior Brother Li!"
Qin Yi smiled wryly in his heart.
He regretted having sneaked out of the sect today.
He should have done that on another day, not today!
A few minutes later, Wu Kun came out with a gloomy face.
The moment he saw Li Hai, he immediately darted and hugged Li Hai's leg.
He started to cry miserably.
"Captain, Captain Li, you must help me! That old man said that he saw a thick black cloud over my head!"
Black clouds?
Li Hai and Qin Yi were shocked, and even the Village Chief was shocked to hear it like he understood what "black clouds overhead" meant.
Qin Yi recalled Blind Old Man's words.
That old man said that the darker the cloud, the worse the luck.
Black is the darkest color among the colors.
Doesn't that mean that this Wu Kun was doomed?
Li Hai asked, "What does Blind Old Man advise?"
"That old man said that I couldn't avoid it even if I wanted to, and if I wanted to save my life, I had to face this tribulation directly and find the source of it- Bo ho ho... What should I do, captain? Please help me!"
Wu Ku started to cry again.
Qin Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
What can your captain do?
Do you expect your captain to face your tribulation on your behalf?
