Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

In the early morning, the warm sunlight softly cast on his face through the window.

Lu Heng slowly opened his eyes, ending a whole night of cultivation.

Three days had passed since the Immortal Crystal Rice incident.

During these three days, Dragon Tiger Mountain was exceptionally quiet.

The only difference from before was that his terminal leukemia had already spread throughout the Shangqing Tao.

Qingfeng's connections were quite good.

Almost all Daoists in the Shangqing Tao had come to visit him.

Even those far away in the Taiyi Dao, like Qingming and others, called to comfort him.

Even the eighty-year-old, gravely ill Master Uncle, who rarely showed himself, specially came to see him, offering much encouragement.

For this, his master even canceled his daily tour guide work, allowing him to rest and recover.

To be honest, with so many people caring for you, it's impossible not to be moved.

"People on the mountain are indeed more simple and kind-hearted!"

"After all, they haven't been polluted by the wickedness of society and human nature..."

Lu Heng had decided that if he could draw Immortal Crystal Rice in the next lottery, he must invite all the Daoists of Dragon Tiger Mountain for a bowl of porridge.

With his family background, for now, he could only afford to offer porridge.

As for having a full meal, that's beyond his means!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knocking sound echoed.

"Qingfeng, junior brother, are you awake?"

Outside the room, a cheerful voice came through.

Lu Heng opened the door to see a tall and sturdy young Daoist standing outside, holding a tray.

"Junior brother, these are freshly steamed buns and freshly made millet porridge from this morning."

"Quickly eat them, don't let them get cold!"

The sturdy Daoist smiled and said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qingling!"

Lu Heng accepted the tray, expressing his gratitude.

Over the past three days, all his meals were voluntarily delivered by these senior brothers.

Even though he tried to decline repeatedly, he couldn't resist their enthusiasm!

"Junior brother, no need to be so formal!"

"As your senior brother, there's not much I can do for you; I can only help deliver meals."

"Take good care of yourself during this period."

"With that 'Immortal' around, it's possible your terminal illness might be cured."

Qingling patted Lu Heng on the shoulder, gave him some encouragement, and then turned to leave.

Everyone knew that late-stage leukemia didn't leave much time.

But Lu Heng was familiar with the formidable "Immortal."

Maybe the "Immortal" really had a way to cure this terminal illness?

Most of them, including Qingling, held such thoughts.

Watching the departing figure, Lu Heng shook his head.

Although he really was terminally ill, why did he always feel like he was fooling naive kids?

He carried the tray back into the room.

As he ate his porridge, he began to ponder.

The past three days felt more like the calm before the storm!

Hua Ming and the others would inevitably report what he said that day to the Religious Affairs Bureau.

Why was the Religious Affairs Bureau being so slow?

When I didn't want to reveal my identity, you kept asking every day.

Now that I want to take the initiative, why are you hesitating?

Cads!

"I'll take a look at the Seeking Immortality Temple in a bit."

"Just in case anything gets missed..."

Lu Heng thought to himself.

After breakfast, he took a Spiritual Qi Pill from the system and tossed it towards his shadow.

The shadow, which had been ordinary and no different from others, suddenly showed some fluctuations, morphing into a big mouth and swallowing the Spiritual Qi Pill.

"This Shadow Beast is good, but it's also quite the pill muncher."

"During its juvenile period, it needs to be fed three Spiritual Qi Pills a day, which is really extravagant!"

"Damn it! A pet eats better than I, its owner!"

Lu Heng glanced at the now-calm shadow with a displeased look.

"Oh right, didn't I draw an alchemy book last time?"

"How did I forget?"

He slapped his forehead and quickly called out to the system, opening the system warehouse.

Amidst a pile of pill bottles and talismans, a jade slip emitting a green light lay quietly in the warehouse.

Just like the previous "Taiyi Five Qi Spell" and "Immortal Talisman Technique," the cultivation techniques produced by the system seemed to exist within the jade slip.

With a single thought, the contents of the jade slip were presented before his eyes.

"Supreme Profound Alchemy Technique!"

Like the "Immortal Talisman Technique" he drew last time, this alchemy technique was also the most basic knowledge.

Most of its content taught others how to concoct pills.

Things like herb combinations, control of heat, refining times, etc., all of which gave him a headache.

At the end, it provided five pill recipes.

Satiety Pill, Vitality Pill, Antitoxic Pill, Heaven-Supporting Pill, Calm Mind and Clear Spirit Pill.

Lu Heng looked them over carefully.

Goodness!

More than half of them might come in handy!

Vitality Pill: Contains spiritual energy, considered a sub-product of the Spiritual Qi Pill.

Antitoxic Pill: Can detoxify a hundred poisons when ingested.

Calm Mind and Clear Spirit Pill: Helps calm the mind and prevent distractions, aiding in cultivation.

These three pills are quite useful.

Especially the Vitality Pill, which could be used to feed the Shadow Beast.

As for the Satiety Pill and Heaven-Supporting Pill...

Well, they are self-explanatory.

The effect of the Satiety Pill is that after consuming one, you won't need to eat for three days.

This might have some use in ancient times.

But in modern times, it's a bit redundant.

Lu Heng considered himself a foodie, making the Satiety Pill quite unnecessary.

And the Heaven-Supporting Pill?

I'm not even twenty yet, I can pee a foot away, who are you underestimating?

Regardless, this "Supreme Profound Alchemy Technique" is much more useful than that trashy talisman technique before!

[System Notification: Would the host like to cultivate the "Supreme Profound Alchemy Technique"?]

"Cultivate!"

In an instant, the jade slip transformed into a wisp of green light and went straight into his forehead.

"It seems I need to find a chance to try alchemy in the future!"

Lu Heng, feeling the newly learned alchemy technique, murmured to himself.

"But what tools are needed for alchemy?"

"An Alchemy Furnace? But I don't have one of those!"

"Will a rice cooker work?"

"Seems unlikely since a rice cooker can't control the heat..."

"Then maybe the rice cooker's inner pot and an induction cooker might do?"

"Feels like it lacks airtightness though!"

"Then use a pressure cooker?"

He pondered for a while and ultimately decided to use a pressure cooker as an alchemy furnace.

Next, he just needed to find time to go down the mountain to purchase ingredients and a pressure cooker.

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

Just then, a clear and pleasant call reached Lu Heng's ears.

No need to think; it's definitely little junior sister Qingyue.

He got up and opened the door, finding Qingyue munching on a bun.

"What's up?"

Lu Heng reached out and pulled on the little girl's freshly braided pigtail.

"Master's looking for you!"

"And with Master, there's an old grandpa I haven't seen before."

Qingyue dutifully replied.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng thought to himself, "Could it be someone from the Religious Affairs Bureau has come?"

"After waiting for three days, you've finally arrived!"
