Capítulo 1041: Chapter 1000: Soul-devouring Worm
Thinking for a mont, he stood up and walked straight towards the woman.
He naturally didn’t believe in the so-called fortune-telling about the future.
Even from the perspective of current scientific theories, the notion of fortune-telling the future is not tenable.
But Ye Tian was very curious about why this woman ignored so many wealthy guests around and offered him a free reading instead.
Ye Tian walked over to the woman’s table and sat down.
After Ye Tian sat down, the woman picked up the deck of cards in front of her and began to shuffle them.
A mont later, she drew three cards one by one and placed them in front of Ye Tian.
“Please choose a card.”
The woman said.
“Aren’t you going to ask what I want to be foretold?” Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and asked.
“No need, you just need to pick a card at random, and I can know your truest desire,” the woman said softly.
She put on quite a show.
Ye Tian said no more as he reached out and picked up a card.
The woman imdiately took the card, glanced at it, and then stared straight at Ye Tian, saying, “You are a Martial Artist, and your greatest desire is to obtain endless power, to beco stronger…”
“Wait.” Ye Tian interrupted the woman directly, “I do not desire power.”
The woman frowned slightly.
This line could be said to any Martial Artist.
Because any person who practices martial arts naturally wants to beco stronger, regardless of their realm.
But the fact that Ye Tian denied this instantly caught her off guard.
The guests around them all widened their eyes as they watched Ye Tian.
This kid not only interrupted the Master’s conclusion but also directly denied it?
Is he here to make trouble?
“I’ve told you, this is your truest inner desire, which you might not be aware of.” The woman said.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Alright, go on.”
The woman looked at Ye Tian’s nonchalant face, her expression a bit gloomy.
However, she still had to complete her task, so she could only hide her displeasure.
“I can offer you a way to beco stronger, but you must maintain a sincere heart,” the woman continued.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian knew she was getting to the point.
“How do I beco stronger?” Ye Tian feigned interest.
Seeing that Ye Tian had taken the bait, the woman’s expression eased a lot and she said, “I have an Elixir in my possession. As long as you take it, you can activate the martial potential within you, reach your personal limit, and gain more power.”
“Oh? An Elixir?” Ye Tian raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” The woman said, reaching under the table, then raising her hand to reveal a mottled black Elixir.
She placed the Elixir in front of Ye Tian and said, “Take this Elixir back, find a suitable ti and place to consu it, and your inner desires will be realized.”
“Is this Elixir really that miraculous?” Ye Tian picked up the Elixir and asked.
“I never lie,” the woman said slowly, with an air of the Immortal.
“What if it’s poisoned?” Ye Tian asked again.
Hearing this, the woman frowned.
At this point, the surrounding guests couldn’t hold back any longer and began to criticize Ye Tian.
“Damn it! Kid, don’t be ungrateful! The Master is compassionate, giving you a free reading and even an Elixir, and you’re still questioning her?”
“Exactly! We have all witnessed the accuracy of the Master’s fortunes! How many people have taken the Elixir over the past few days? If you don’t want it fine, but why question it?”
“Believe it or not, just get up and leave! Don’t waste everyone’s ti! We all still want our fortunes read!”
Amid the criticisms, Ye Tian clutched the Elixir in his hand, glanced at the woman, and turned to leave the crowd.
“Why does this kid act like a fool? It’s classic to act cheap after taking advantage.” A man in the VIP booth on the second floor frowned as he watched Ye Tian below.
“He’s probably a university student. Young students these days like to argue, but he’ll definitely eat the Elixir afterward.” A woman chuckled lightly, and said.
…
The Elixir had been given out, and the woman’s task for today was complete.
The rest present were ordinary mortals without a Martial Arts Foundation, so there was no need to linger.
The woman stood up and collected the cards from the table.
Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers beca anxious.
“Master, aren’t you going to continue fortune-telling?” soone shouted.
“I’m a bit tired, co back tomorrow,” the woman said as she slowly walked out of the bar.
Though impatient, they dared not block the woman’s path.
However, their gazes toward Ye Tian seated in the booth were more unfriendly.
This young student had wasted their chance for a fortune read.
The woman left the bar directly.
Ye Tian watched her back, picked up the Elixir in his hand, and also walked out of the bar.
As he walked, he kept observing the Elixir in his hand.
This Elixir contained a different aura.
This aura did not belong to a dead object but a living organism!
In other words, this Elixir was not made from dicinal ingredients.
Ye Tian pondered for a mont and lightly pinched the Elixir with two fingers.
“Crack!”
The shell of the Elixir shattered easily under Ye Tian’s pressure.
Then, Ye Tian saw what was inside.
A curled-up black insect!
This insect looked a bit like an earthworm but much smaller and darker!
When the shell cracked, it seed startled and started twisting about violently.
It jumped onto Ye Tian’s hand, trying to burrow into his palm, seemingly attempting to enter his body.
Yet, no matter how desperately it tried, it couldn’t penetrate even a bit.
Ye Tian picked up the insect and examined it closely.
Clearly, this insect was no good.
Ye Tian could sense it emanated Yin energy and Death Qi.
From its appearance, the insect bore so resemblance to the Soul-devouring Worm Ye Tian had seen before.
The Soul-devouring Worm, as the na suggests, can devour souls.
Just now, the woman claid that consuming the Elixir would make one stronger… Ye Tian furrowed his brows slightly, realizing that it seed Shanghai was not as calm as it appeared.
Just then, in the bar behind him, the once fluctuating aura suddenly surged!
Ye Tian furrowed his brows.
Because of that so-called Master, Ye Tian had montarily forgotten about the strange aura that had drawn him into the bar.
Now, that aura had surged to its peak!
“So that’s how it is.”
Ye Tian instantly understood the purpose of the Elixir and the woman’s intent.
“Whoosh!”
A burst of Spiritual Energy ignited at Ye Tian’s fingertips, instantly incinerating the insect completely.
Then, Ye Tian turned back and entered the bar.
