NOVEL NEXT Chapter 110: Methods to Earn Destiny's Favor
As luck flowed into his body, Zhang Xuan felt as if he was floating on clouds, filled with confidence in everything he did.
This confidence didn't stem from his strength but from luck!
If it were before, he would have thought breaking into the Law Heavenly Capital was a mission with no return, but now an unexplained belief arose, certain that he could rescue Empyrean Kong shi!
Any difficult task would turn bad luck into good fortune, troubles into blessings.
This was the power brought by luck!
This was just from 30 taels of luck. If he were to make up to 80 taels... who knows how powerful he'd become.
"Alright, the luck has been borrowed..."
Liu Xuanji waved his sleeve.
Feeling the surge of luck in his body like a sea of clouds stretching endlessly, Zhang Xuan knew it was indeed thirty taels. He sighed in relief, bowed, and cupped his fists: "I have one thing I'm unclear about, and I wish the leader could clarify."
"Speak!" Liu Xuanji said.
Zhang Xuan: "How does the leader distinguish whether the person is the luck borrower I brought…"
Liu Xuanji: "I have my methods, you needn't worry!"
Zhang Xuan nodded, not asking further.
"Since there's nothing else, I wish you speedy returns."
After speaking, Liu Xuanji didn't stay, turned, entered the house, and vanished from sight.
"Today's luck borrowing ends here..."
The adolescent boy also nodded, turned away, and soon the door closed tightly with a creak.
"This..."
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he didn't believe the other didn't see through his true identity and purpose in borrowing luck, but as long as they didn't investigate, it meant safety.
Better hurry and leave!
However...
Though he borrowed 30 taels of luck, it was still far from 80 taels. Before the Law Heavenly Capital opened, if he didn't manage to make up the rest, success would still be uncertain.
But... how would he gather the luck?
Or should he get someone else to borrow it?
He looked up at the people before him.
These people, who all wanted to borrow luck, at most had 9 tenths, and few dared to ask for a full tael, gathering 60 taels with them was as hard as climbing to the sky.
Most importantly, these people weren't found by him but were potential clients; even if they borrowed, Liu Xuanji certainly wouldn't recognize it.
He had to find people himself.
Who should he find?
While pondering, a voice rang out: "This little brother, what exactly do you want to do? Facing certain death, yet needing so much luck?"
Zhang Xuan looked up, and it was none other than the young man before him who had borrowed one tael.
He hadn't left and was looking over curiously.
"I…"
As he was about to answer, the luck in his body seemed to work, and a flash of light entered his mind, prompting a bold idea.
"My friend, may I have a word?"
Zhang Xuan smiled warmly.
"Of course…"
The young man nodded.
His cultivation was higher than Zhang Xuan's, and with luck on his side, he wasn't worried about being attacked or harmed.
The two flew away, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
"31 taels of luck borrowed in one day... big events are bound to happen soon."
"I don't care about big events; I just wonder how they'll return all that luck!"
"Returning it is simple, a person's life has balanced luck. Borrow so much now, they can only compensate with future good fortune. When their luck runs out, they're bound to face endless misfortune their whole lives!"
"Yeah, I think so too…"
Watching the two leave, people murmured among themselves, even the two corpses at the front remained motionless, as if listening intently.
…
A flash of light, and they landed in a ruin.
"Brother, what do you want to say? Say it here!"
The young man, fearing Zhang Xuan might act, quietly activated the luck he just borrowed. In a moment, wisps of ethereal white gas flowed and melted into every cell of his body.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan nodded, without hesitation, lightly wiping his face, regaining his original appearance.
"You...you are Zhang Xuan?"
The young man was startled, his breath suddenly quickened.
This luck was too effective!
Just borrowed, and already met him...
"Precisely!"
Zhang Xuan nodded: "I know why you borrowed luck. You can now report this news to Prince Yuanqing to claim your reward!"
"Really?"
The young man trembled with excitement, unable to believe his luck came so fast.
He had come just to try his luck, not only did he get it, but now his wish was also about to be realized so soon.
"Of course…"
Zhang Xuan nodded, then continued: "Moreover, I can tell you why I borrowed so much luck! You can tell this to Prince Yuanqing too."
"Why borrow so much?" the young man asked, genuinely curious.
Frankly, everyone borrowing luck would be curious too.
80 taels of luck was a lot!
Zhang Xuan said: "Simple, I want to borrow something from the Buddhist Sect... without enough luck, it's easy to get caught!"
"Borrow something?"
The young man looked puzzled: "Isn't the Buddhist Sect chasing you?"
Knowing Zhang Xuan, he naturally knew all his news. The Buddhist Sect wasn't just after him but had placed a higher bounty than the one offered by Prince Yuanqing.
"Yes! Precisely because they're chasing, I must borrow something from them…" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"Alright!"
Seeing he was unwilling to say more, the young man didn't ask further. Hesitating, he asked, "Why tell me this?"
"Simple... when you go to the Crown Prince to claim your reward, whatever artifacts or rewards you get, I want half!"
Zhang Xuan said.
"Trade your own info for half the reward?" The young man's eyes widened.
This maneuver was too daring!
Key point... would he survive after exposing himself?
"If I die, our deal is off, naturally, you won't need to return the resources…" Zhang Xuan smiled.
"Alright, I agree!" The young man nodded repeatedly.
It was free anyway, why not!
"Then it's settled. Here's my Communication Talisman. Once you report and get the reward, contact me, and it'll be easy for me to find you…"
Zhang Xuan tossed a Communication Talisman.
The young man caught it, nodding: "Good, since you trust me, I won't hide, I'm Hu Sheng. If you survive, I'll recognize you as a brother!"
After speaking, Hu Sheng left in a flash, vanishing into the sky, afraid he'd be struck down if he stayed another second.
"What are you up to?"
At this moment, the Frost Demon Lord's puzzled voice echoed.
Exposing himself, and going to the Buddhist Sect, wasn't this seeking death?
What was this guy thinking? The Frost Demon Lord couldn't understand.
"Simple…"
Zhang Xuan smiled lightly: "I figured out how to earn more luck!"
