Chapter 0010: The Heavenly Eye Observes Qi

"Old Wang, where have you been these past two days? I see you are surrounded by dark energy, which is a very ominous sign!" I said, trying to scare him in a displeased tone

However, when I opened my eyes again and looked in that direction, all the energy of the pedestrians on the chaotic street had completely vanished, and I could only see a familiar figure limping towards me

As I pulled open the rolling shutter door, facing the bright sunlight, I silently recited the incantation in my heart, keeping my eyes open to observe the passersby.

Wang the Cripple carried a tattered cloth bag, which contained all his possessions for his street stall. He wore a smile, yet the words he spoke were unworthy of the ivory from a dog's mouth

A person merely bearing a dark aura already signifies the presence of an incurable disease, or the ominous signs of imprisonment or bloodshed. Moreover, if the entire body is enveloped in dark energy, it is likely that they have already one foot in the gates of the underworld

"Can it be the same? I, an old man, am here to experience the sufferings of the world; this is called refining the heart in the mortal realm, something you do not understand." Wang the Lame squinted at me, "That being said, young man, what exactly have you gotten yourself into?"

A sense of comfort arose in my heart, and just as I was about to withdraw my gaze, I caught a glimpse of a person seemingly surrounded by a swirling black mist

I have serious matters to discuss with you. Unable to hold back, I shot him a glance, set aside my playful thoughts, and led him into the shop

If it were not for the fact that the talisman truly worked, I would never believe, based solely on his appearance, that he could possibly be a transcendent master.

It makes sense to think that those living in urban villages cannot be high-ranking officials or dignitaries

He was dressed in a cheap Tang suit bought from a street vendor and black cloth shoes, with disheveled hair, a sallow complexion, and a thin frame, just slightly better off than a beggar, as if he had the words 'no money' written all over his face

As if coming to life, the ancient text penetrated my skin, transforming into warm currents that continuously surged upward along the meridians, ultimately converging in my eyes

If you encounter a more formidable beast, those ordinary things will be of no use at all. Wang the Cripple waved his hand, paused for a moment, and then changed the subject, However, money can make the devil push the mill; as long as you have sufficient funds, what is there that money cannot buy

"Hasn't your great disaster already passed safely? What need is there for talismans?" Wang Qiaozi said with a look of surprise

I was also taken aback; last night was a close call. I thought it was just an ordinary evil entity, but now hearing what Wang the Lame said, I suddenly feel a wave of fear.

What did you say? Wang the Lame's expression changed dramatically, and he took two steps back, clutching his ragged bag, looking at me as if facing a formidable enemy, and solemnly uttered three words

Wang the Lame glared and said: "Of course not! Do you think everyone is like me, harboring a compassionate heart? They take risks to bring things down the mountain, all for the sake of profit!"

I have been dealing with Wang the Cripple for nearly two years; he indeed only deceives for food and drink, and has never cheated money.

"Do you think this is just a worthless fake product from a street vendor? There can't be that many of them," Wang Quezi shook his head.

Vision improves and the eyes become clear, the entire world has never been so vivid!

The next live broadcast will be in seven days, and I need talismans by my side, the more the better

Ordinary and unremarkable, neither outstanding nor lacking, just like their lives, merely a grain of sand in the vast sea of humanity

My emotions are stirred, akin to a child who has received a rare toy and is eager to try it out. I can hardly wait to verify the wonders of this celestial eye observation technique.

The dark circles at the corners of my eyes are due to my first use of the Tianyan observation technique, which is completely unrelated to what he mentioned.

You can see for yourself. I took out the darkened talisman.

"Eating is not a problem, but you still don't know how much money I have?" Unfortunately, I am short on funds, with just over 100 yuan left. Even if Wang the Lame can help me find something good, I still cannot afford it

Do not concern yourself with this. Besides the spirit-restraining talisman, do you have any other items that can ward off evil, such as peach wood swords or bagua mirrors? The key is that they must be effective! As for the matters of the strange talk live broadcast room, I cannot disclose them to him.

The vast majority of people carry the most ordinary white vapor

What the hell! What kind of fierce creature have you encountered? Seeing the edges of the yellow talisman scorched as if burned, Wang the Cripple was startled and immediately blurted out a curse.

The black energy is a sign of great misfortune

Although I have just begun, these brief five minutes have been sufficient for me to perceive a person's aura, and discerning fortune and misfortune is a trivial matter, not to mention that my abilities will only strengthen with further practice

This profound flavor can only be understood intuitively and cannot be conveyed in words

Standing in place, I still find it somewhat hard to believe, reminiscing about the miraculous process that just occurred

I do not know what that is either, but I may encounter something even more fearsome later, so I need more talismans to subdue spirits

The eyes burned as if a layer of something obscuring them was slowly dissolving. This process seemed to last for a long time, yet it also felt as if it lasted only a brief second

With this secret skill, at least I will not have to worry about food in the future

In the ancient book, the pages that were originally filled with complex classical texts written in brush strokes are now completely blank, leaving only thin, yellowed paper.

Fortunately, as I absorbed those ancient characters, the mental techniques I practiced became engraved in my mind, requiring no further effort to memorize

Using the Tianyan is extremely exhausting. I am only at the first level, belonging to a novice who has just started. My experience with Tianyan is still relatively short, and I need to continuously practice in order to improve

Focusing intently, as I gazed around, a layer of hazy mist gradually emerged from the hurried passersby.

This talisman for subduing spirits is indeed crafted by esteemed hands, and ordinary demons and malevolent spirits would not dare to approach it. Yet now, it has completely lost its essence and is utterly useless

The ready-made ladder has already been set up, and I only need to climb up step by step

A sudden shock coursed through my heart; I wanted to see the specific situation clearly, but my eyes had reached their limit, causing me immense pain, so I had no choice but to close my eyes to alleviate it

It seems necessary to quickly utilize the Heavenly Eye Observation Technique to earn the first pot of gold

Do you still have the spirit-warding talisman you gave me last time

The long-lost rare secret techniques can now be possessed, and once again I am astonished by the capabilities of the ghost story live broadcast room, without a trace of doubt

Is that true? I looked at him with suspicion

"Is it possible to buy on credit?" I asked weakly

There is nothing particularly special, and some people even have a grayish hue to their aura, which is also referred to as a gloomy aura, indicating that they will experience misfortune in the near future

Oh, young man, you are standing at the door with a silly grin, it seems you are in a good mood, presumably having safely passed through that calamity... However, why do you have dark circles under your eyes, looking as if you are suffering from kidney deficiency?

Aren't you just a street vendor yourself? I am both speechless and disappointed

I have no money

However, it is also true that if Wang the Cripple truly possessed so many talismans, how could he have fallen into such a state of destitution

This is the feeling of the Heavenly Eye being opened

Alright. I nodded helplessly

After observing for less than five minutes, my head became dizzy and my eyes started to hurt.

Do you think the Taoist priest on the mountain does not need to eat? Rest assured, I am merely facilitating connections; whether you buy or not is up to you. However, whether it succeeds or not, you must treat me to a meal

Is the food in the Eight Immortals Steamed Bun Shop really that fierce
