Chapter Twenty-Seven [Who Are You?]
Chen Yan hurriedly bade farewell and returned home for two reasons.
One reason was that after he saved Lu Sisi again and was treating her injuries in the hospital, he quietly used the Primordial Qi Transport Technique and once again, without any surprises, felt the sensation of increased cultivation!
Primordial Qi (Merit) +1+1+1+1...
Sure enough, Lu Sisi was like a humanoid experience pack to him!
The second reason was that Chen Yan had developed a huge curiosity and interest in Lu Sisi and wanted to go home quickly to look up the method of turning fate, as well as to calculate her Eight Characters and Life Chart.
Upon returning home, Chen Yan first made a pot of tea for himself and carried the teapot to the sunroom.
In the villa’s sunroom, there was a recliner.
In this cold winter, sitting in the sunroom, in the afternoon, under the sunlight, the sunroom was as warm as spring.
In the recliner, Chen Yan habitually wore the jadeite ring on his thumb, rubbing it while carefully looking through the secret manual.
The Seven Extremes Life Chart was recorded in the "Destiny Cycle" Chapter and was one of the rare life charts recorded in the book.
There weren’t many records in the booklet, just a few strokes.
However, the content written down was shocking to Chen Yan.
Anyone with this life chart seemed to be cursed by heaven, born with misfortune and could pass it on to those close to them.
Thus, it was called Seven Extremes.
Extreme in kinship, extremity in friendship, extremity in descendants!
Family, friends, lovers, none of these would exist in this lifetime, and naturally, there would be no descendants as well.
And the happiness, wealth, fortune, and longevity that ordinary people pursued in their life would also be out of reach.
"Something seems off."
Chen Yan frowned, looking at the records in the booklet.
The book said that anyone with the Seven Extremes Life Chart was destined for misfortune with a very short lifespan, and could not survive past one cycle -- which meant they wouldn’t live past twelve years old!
Because the Seven Extremes Life Chart was extremely fierce, under the onslaught of misfortune, a person could not withstand it for long. Moreover, the misfortune would grow stronger with each year, becoming fiercer with age.
According to the book, if there was no external force, making it through one cycle, reaching twelve years, would already be the limit!
Lu Sisi was already over eighteen, wasn’t she?
With doubts, Chen Yan calculated Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters again using the "Destiny Cycle" method.
A moment later, Chen Yan’s expression grew more and more peculiar.
"Completely incorrect!"
Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters, though not for immense wealth and riches, were quite good.
From childhood to adulthood, it should have been smooth sailing. If she met a man whose Eight Characters matched her own, life would be harmonious, a perfect match.
Even if she did not meet such a man, it wouldn’t be a big issue, at most, dealing with a few bad relationships.
Moreover, according to her Eight Characters, Lu Sisi should have a life of both fortune and longevity.
"This doesn’t make sense! How can a person have two different life charts?"
Chen Yan furrowed his brows, pondering deeply, rubbing his temples with force.
The master in Port City who calculated Lu Sisi’s fate... must have been a fraud!
He jumped up from the recliner and paced back and forth in the sunroom for two laps before slapping his forehead.
"There’s no harm in trying, right?"
Chen Yan hurried to the basement of the villa.
One room in the basement had been turned into a workshop by him.
Inside, there was a workbench, a toolbox, and other items used for practicing carving.
In addition, there were brush and ink, yellow paper talismans, and cinnabar in the drawers.
Chen Yan calculated the direction at the table, then fished out two red candles to light.
He took out yellow paper and found a pair of pure silver scissors specially bought by him, quickly cutting out a palm-sized figure.
Dipping his brush in cinnabar, he wrote Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters on the paper doll.
"Hmm, writing Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters, this little paper doll would be equivalent to her..."
Chen Yan pondered silently.
The book-recorded Paperman Technique, he hadn’t used it even once before - his cultivation wasn’t enough previously.
But now, after leveling up three times from Lu Sisi, the humanoid experience pack, he was probably at the level needed. However... he wasn’t sure how effective it would be.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yan transported his primordial qi, forming a fingerprint, and after reciting the spell’s incantation twice, pointed at the little paper doll.
The paper doll on the table trembled slightly before suddenly floating lightly, actually standing up slowly on the table.
Chen Yan’s eyes lit up.
He felt his primordial qi depleting rapidly. This paper doll spell was indeed a bit too advanced for his current level.
However, Chen Yan seized the moment, grabbed a strand of prepared hair from the table, quickly cut off a section with the silver scissors, and held it above the red candle!
The hair, exposed to the flame, instantly turned to ash, becoming a wisp of blue smoke.
Chen Yan saw the opportunity and blew a mouthful of primordial qi onto it!
"Body, hair, and skin, return swiftly to the primordial spirit!"
The wisp of blue smoke, mixed with Chen Yan’s primordial qi, immediately drifted towards the paper doll under his direction.
Just as it was about to merge with the doll, it suddenly dispersed before touching it, as if an invisible force was preventing the smoke from blending into the paper doll with Lu Sisi’s Eight Characters!
