Chapter 49: Making Fate Out Of Nothing
Does Shopkeeper Song have a superpower or something?
How did he know that I’m going over to his shop today?
He even made banners to welcome me!
He started to admire Shopkeeper Song a little.
The other shopkeepers did not really welcome Shen Tian.
Although all the ores Shen Tian chose would be opened by the shop and the shopkeeper could earn 10% of the profit, humans were a very complicated species.
They knew that the ores were for sale, and they would eventually be sold to someone.
But when they saw the Spirit Ores were all so valuable, they would still feel uncomfortable.
They would blame themselves for not opening the ores themselves and take the chance to earn the profit!
They would be rich if they had the guts!
That was the dark side of humans!
Shen Tian had a high EQ, so he was clearly aware of that. As such, he did not understand why Shopkeeper Song was so different!
He had even beat up his son before!
Shopkeeper Song was supposed to hate him and try to take him down!
Could it be that my disguise skill is too good?
And Shopkeeper Song felt a sense of affinity looking at me?
Shen Tian’s mind was intrigued, and he walked toward the Sky Spirit Pavilion.
Shopkeeper Song followed him respectfully.
His thinking was very simple: “This man here belonged to Fairy Lian’er!”
It was his son’s fault for messing around with him. It served him right!
If it were someone else with a bad temper, they could even have killed his son instead!
Shopkeeper Song had tried to give a Universe Ring to Master Celestial so that he would not be so angry.
Apparently, it was not enough.
What could he do?
He could only keep Master Celestial entertained and kiss his a.s.s.
Thus, when he heard that Shen Tian had appeared in the Myriad Spirit Garden again, Shopkeeper Song quickly took out the banners that he had prepared three days ago and waited for his arrival.
He even wore a prosperous red robe!
As long as Master Celestial was happy, he could do anything!
Young Shopkeeper Song was not happy about it.
He complained softly, “He beat me up. Why would he be angry?”
Shopkeeper Song heard the complaints and moved silently in front of him and slapped him.
“Useless kid!
“I warn you! Do not make a stupid mistake again.
“I should get you checked with bloodline mystic techniques to see if you are really my son!
“I’m so smart and successful in the Myriad Spirit Garden!
“Why are you so useless and stupid?
“How could you make Master Celestial angry!?
“What if he decided to kill us all!?
“I don’t care about you! Just leave me out of it!”
After warning his son, Shopkeeper Song smiled again.
“Master Celestial, take your time. Choose the ores you like.
“Master Celestial must be tired from helping people to find good ores. You have my respect!
“We will provide free ore-cutting services for all the ores chosen by Master Celestial today.”
Sssss!
Everyone was shocked by what they heard.
Everyone knew that when Master Celestial picked an ore, there would be very good things in it.
Even if the profit was just 10%, it was still a huge amount collectively.
He was having this amount away so generously?
That was really something!
...
Lucky Man B looked at the shopkeeper with pride.
He shouted, “That’s the way! Shopkeeper Song is so generous!
“I’m willing to pay the 10% to Master Celestial! It is what he deserves!”
Lucky Man A shouted too. “Me too! I’ll give it too!”
Xiong Meng scratched his head and shouted, “Me! Me too!”
Soon, everyone agreed to give another 10% of the ores to Shen Tian instead.
“No! Our deal is 50-50. I will not take any extra!”
Shen Tian rejected the offer quickly.
If he kept the 10%, he would be taking 60% of the entire profit!
That was so unreasonable!
Well, the thing about the 60-40 split was that Shen Tian could not improve his providence...
His priority now was to whiten his halo.
He had no interest in Spirit Stones anymore, especially after getting millions of inheritance from the Spirit Venerable Divine Water.
...
Wait a minute!
Shen Tian saw something in Shopkeeper Song’s halo...
He has a fortuitous opportunity too!
Not bad, Shopkeeper! What a lucky day for you!
Shen Tian patted on his shoulder and said, “Shopkeeper Song is so generous. I respect you too.
“But I cannot keep this 10%. Please, give it to someone else!”
Upon seeing that Shopkeeper Song was going to reject him, Shen Tian smiled and said, “Actually, you have fate with me today too!”
Sssss!
The crowd was amazed.
It appeared!
Making fate out of nowhere!
Rumors said that the fate with Master Celestial was not destined. One could beg for it.
As long as Master Celestial was happy, fate would just appear suddenly!
Three shameless fellows had hugged Master Celestial’s legs and said that they had missed him.
Then, they appeared to be fated with Master Celestial out of a sudden!
Many people did not believe the tale.
But now, it seemed like Shopkeeper Song was an expert in this ‘making fate technique’!
Master Celestial must be very happy about him!
If not, why did he become the 21st fated person of Master Celestial!?
...
“Ssss. I’m fated with Master Celestial too?”
Upon hearing what Shen Tian siad, Shopkeeper Song was stunned.
I’m fated with Master Celestial?
So he’s not angry with me anymore?
Good, good, good! My life is not at risk anymore.
I will ban my son from going out for three months as a celebration!
Shen Tian did not know what Shopkeeper Song was thinking.
He searched around in the Sky Spirit Pavilion and found a Spirit Ore about the size of a winter melon.
It looked ordinary and very heavy.
“This is a good ore! Open it. I’ll not let you down!”
Shopkeeper Song was thrilled and quickly asked the ore-cutter to open it.
The crust of the ore was removed slowly.
Cling!
A super-strong purple light radiated from the Spirit Ore—lightning and thunder were surrounding the ore!
The rest of the crust crumbled by the power and a long Purple Golden Hammer appeared!
It was definitely not ordinary!
