169 Something Big is Happening! (1/2)

Beyond the clouds in the skies above at a height of 6500 fts, a figure floated. The world would have been shocked greatly if they knew someone could actually bypass the suppression of the sky and fly to such heights.

The jade was something the figure left behind many years ago. It contained a great secret and could change humanity's eventual fate of extinction. The figure himself did not know what secret lies in the jade. The knowledge was something he gained through divination. but now the same divination failed him. Heaven's secrets have been obscured and the future was unknown.

”I have left the seed of hope and opportunity in that boy's hands. Whether he can grasp it or not is up to him now. The fate of humanity no longer has anything to do with me.” The figure murmured. He took one last look before disappearing.

…

Leon did not discover the figure hidden in the clouds above. Dusting his rear, He was still dumbfounded by what happened. What kind of eccentric fortune teller was this? Can't divine my fortune? No problem. That's okay. He was cool with that but tossing him out was not cool. How did that darn fortune teller disappear so fast? Leon found it hard to believe, but the fortune teller may have been someone beyond the Transcendent Realm.

He felt so helpless and powerless when he was tossed. He still couldn't sense the fortune teller's cultivation, despite what happened. The power was absolute and inviolable. Leon had not been able to put up a shred of resistance at all. Since when did the world had someone like this?

”Fate of the Desolate is uncertain…” Leon mused over the fortune teller's previous words. ”I have not seen the whole world, so I can't say for sure that Gaia is entirely scarce in spirit energy, but this continent definitely is. Perhaps, the Desolate in the Fortune teller's words was referring to this continent? Could he be from a different continent?”

He had once seen the largely blank map of the world. The continent they currently lived on only occupied one tenth of the space. There was bound to be at least one or two other continents out there, he speculated.

Leon had some faint guesses why his fortunes couldn't be divined. It may have something to do with his very existence. He was reborn in this world, but he was denizen of the Divine Realm. The concept of his transmigration was a mystery, but it can be said that he was regarded as a foreigner in this world, an abnormality.

Since his soul didn't originally belong to this world, his soul wouldn't be recorded and recognized by the world. Thus, when the fortune teller tried to peer through heaven's secrets and divine his fortune, the jade did not land on an existing constellation. It was like taking a roll call and calling out a name that wasn't on the list.

Arriving at his pill store, Leon shook his head and decide to push these thoughts aside. He would tackle the problems as they come. There was an immediate problem in front of him. The pill store was opened for business when it shouldn't be, and it was selling pills that shouldn't be on the market.

They were All-Purpose Healing Pills and Golden Ointment. Leon found out after sweeping the entire store with his divine sense. They were Tier-1 Spirit Pills, but their quality was all at the trash rank. It wasn't fit for human consumption and would cause various health problems in the long run. Was this his disciple's doing?

Leon immediately shook his head at the thought. His newly accepted disciple Reginald shouldn't have known about the pill store. Reginald did not follow him to see the pill store after he bought it. He did not see his disciple in the store when he swept the entire place with his divine sense either.

Furthermore, his disciple should still be trying to digest all the knowledge he taught him. But there wasn't anyone else in the entire Capital that would know the recipe for his pills. Something must have happened to his disciple.

Leon didn't believe this was his disciple's doing, or at least not by his own will. His disciple was aware of his status and should have known better than to sell such trashy pills, which was detrimental to the people and the kingdom's development. It was an extremely stupid move that would offend him.

It seems he had to enter to investigate who the perpetrator was. Making up his mind, Leon stepped into the pill store.

”Hello esteemed customer, how may I help you?” One of the store clerks happily greeted.

”You are mistaken. I am not here to buy anything. I'm here for something else.” Leon looked at the clerk strangely. Does this clerk not know this property belonged to him?

”This… then what business do you have here, sir?” The store clerk asked with bafflement. His initial enthusiasm was lost when he found out Leon didn't come to buy anything.
