Chapter 1: Fortune telling in the park (Part 1)

At the 5:30, the public park was already bustling. The aunts doing aerobics occupied the largest square. The lakeside viewing platform was a good place for lovers to know each other.

Lin Qingyin, who carried cardboard around the public park for a long time,  finally sat cross-legged under an ancient tree and put the cardboard in her hand in front of her. There were two big elegant words written on the cardboard: Fortune-telling! Followed by small letters saying: Divination for a thousand yuan!

People walking nearby couldn’t help but take a look, shook their heads, and then sighed at the contents.

“What do children learn nowadays? Instead of studying, they come up with these deceptive things!”

“Not only that, look at her. She seems to be a middle school student. Their teacher must have given them a few homework. I don’t know who exactly lacking in morality.”

“My family received pamphlets from the police saying that we should believe in science and rejects such superstition. I will bring it later and let this girl look at it. How can she not believe in science at such a young age!”

“1,000 yuan for divination? This child must be crazy about money. If she talks about it, she will get 1,000 yuan. Then, I’d rather also be a fortune teller.”

“… …”

“… …”

Listening to their uncontrolled voice, Lin Qingyin stared blankly at her cardboard. If she has money to buy resources for her cultivation, why would she drop her level and tell a fortune in the park?

She, Lin Qingyin, was the leader of the divination school in the cultivation world. She had the title of the best in divination. If someone wants to ask her for divination, that someone must offer her the top quality of magical weapon and wait for her decision if she will make a divination or not. However, right now, she was just sitting on the ground and casually put cardboard stating 1,000 yuan per divination, but she was being pointed by others?

If it wasn’t… …

Ha, who didn’t let her ascend after performing thunder tribulation? Her thousand years of cultivation turned to nothing. However, it’s good that she survived, and so she didn’t have so many requests.

Lin Qingyin looked down at the red plum-shaped birthmark on her right wrist and fell into deep thoughts.

When she woke up, she found herself in a completely strange world, but her body right now resembled her face and shape to her previous self. Even the red plum-shaped birthmark on her arm was the same. The only difference was there was no trace of her previous cultivation level.

It was not difficult to re-enter the path of cultivation. Lin Qingyin was not lacking in skills and experience. It was like a college student repeating kindergarten. She can graduate while playing around. What she lacks now was the resources for cultivation. The world she was current in has thin spiritual energy, which made cultivating harder. Lin Qingyin walked around these days and found out that there was this kind of jade that contains a lot of energy, but the price was very expensive. A poor high school student like her can’t afford it at all.

In the final analysis, she needs to make money!

The sun goes higher and higher, the coldness in the morning gradually dissipated, and the sunlight gradually dazzled. Lin Qingyin used the folding fan in her hand to pull a pile of small stones from the side, and then she randomly placed these stones in different places. After adjusting the last stone, the temperature around her fell again.

Lin Qingyin looked up at the sun and estimated that it should be 7:30 in the morning. Although she sat here for 2 hours without making a single business, Lin Qingyin seemed to be not in a hurry at all. It seems like whether she get business or not was unimportant.

“Police Comrade, that’s her.” Aunt Zhang, who was a gossip fan in the public park all year round, breathlessly dragged a policeman and pointed to Lin Qingyin: “Look at that child, how can you let her do divination here?”

The policeman squatted and looked at Lin Qingyin, but then revealed a smile: ” “Little girl, do you remember me?”

Lin Qingyin looked up at him and nodded. The original owner of the body blamed herself for failing the final exam last month and was badly ridiculed by her classmates. She couldn’t accept it, so she jumped into the river and killed herself. This policeman also jumped into the river and rescued her. When the policeman dragged her ashore, Lin Qingyin just woke up from this body.

“Thank you so much that day! Our meeting is predestined, you save my life, and so I will give you divination for free.”

Lin Qingyin looked at the policeman. Her eyes became a little softer than before: “I can see that your life roots are muddled and the green color of it turns blue. I’m afraid it’s because of a serious disease. Your tongue is red, just like a snake. Your serious illness should be in the stomach.”

Seeing the policeman was stunned, Lin Qingyin reminded kindly: “You have three big catastrophes in your life, the first one was when you were born. The second one was on your 18th birthday, and the third one is your illness. However, as long as this catastrophe past, you will be safe and happy for the rest of your life.”

After Lin Qingyin said those words, she stood up, picked up her cardboard, and walked away with a straight back. Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Qingyin’s departing back and pinched the policeman’s waist: “This fortune teller’s courage is too big! Police Comrade, when you see her next time, you have to educate her! Look at you? Why don’t you pack her right now!”
