Chapter 337 A Pill
“Two million in pure income… that’s really impressive,” the man said in surprise.
“Well, who can blame her when this master’s predictions are so accurate?” the woman said.
“Master… did you also have her do a prediction for you?” the man asked.
“Yes, but don’t ask about the content. I can only tell you that the results were extremely accurate,” the woman said as she raised her glass of premium wine and took a small sip.
While the two were conversing, the fortune-telling master in the center of the dance floor looked at the surrounding guests with slightly furrowed brows, her expression showing some impatience.
Except for a martial artist from half an hour ago, everyone surrounding her consisted of ordinary people, which made her somewhat annoyed.
Her true purpose for fortune-telling was not to make money.
No matter how much money these ordinary people gave her, she had no interest in it.
At this moment, the woman suddenly felt something unusual, and her expression changed slightly.
Her gaze turned toward the front, directly pointing at Fang Yu who was standing at the back of the crowd.
Several layers of people separated her from Fang Yu, theoretically making it impossible for them to see each other.
But their spiritual senses met in the air, and they made eye contact.
“This is a martial artist…”
A gleam of light flashed in the woman’s eyes.
She reached out and gently tapped the table, and the surrounding customers immediately quieted down.
“Please make way a little.”
The woman gestured for the group of customers in front to move aside.
The master’s request was naturally not something these customers dared to neglect, and they immediately cleared a path.
At this point, the woman could see Fang Yu sitting in a booth in the distance.
“Sir, I can sense that you have many questions. Would you like me to do a fortune-telling for you? It’s free,” the woman smiled.
Hearing the woman’s words, the surrounding customers all looked at Fang Yu.
To have the master actively extend an invitation for fortune-telling, and for free! This person must be special.
Fang Yu looked at the woman, narrowing his eyes slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up and walked straight toward the woman.
Regarding the so-called fortune-telling of the future, he naturally didn’t believe in it.
Not discussing it from the perspective of mystical arts, even from the standpoint of current scientific theory, predicting the future was untenable.
But Fang Yu was curious why this woman would ignore so many wealthy customers around her and instead offer him a free fortune-telling.
Fang Yu walked to the woman’s table and sat down.
After Fang Yu sat down, the woman picked up the deck of cards in front of her and began shuffling.
A moment later, she drew three cards in sequence and placed them in front of Fang Yu.
“Please choose any card,” the woman said.
“Don’t you need to ask what I want to have predicted?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“No need. You just need to randomly pick a card, and I will know your heart’s truest desire,” the woman said slowly.
She certainly puts on a good show.
Fang Yu said nothing more and reached out to take a card.
The woman immediately took the card, looked at it, and then stared directly at Fang Yu, saying, “You are a martial artist. What you desire most is to obtain endless power, to become stronger…”
“Wait,” Fang Yu interrupted the woman’s words directly. “I don’t desire power.”
The woman frowned slightly.
This line of hers could be said to any martial artist.
Because everyone who practices martial arts inevitably wants to become stronger, regardless of their level.
But Fang Yu, who was only at the Innate Realm, directly denied this point, which surprised her.
The surrounding customers now stared at Fang Yu with wide eyes.
This guy not only interrupted the master’s conclusion but now directly denied it?
Was he here to cause trouble?
“I told you, this is your heart’s truest desire, which you may not necessarily know yourself,” the woman said.
Hearing these words, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile and said, “Fine, please continue.”
The woman looked at Fang Yu’s frivolous expression, her face somewhat gloomy.
However, she still needed to complete her task, so she could only hide her displeasure.
“I can provide you with a way to become stronger, but you must maintain a sincere heart,” the woman continued.
Hearing this, Fang Yu knew that she was getting to the point.
“How do I become stronger?” Fang Yu pretended to look interested.
Seeing that Fang Yu took the bait, the woman’s expression softened considerably and said, “I have a pill in my possession. If you take it, it will activate the martial potential in your body, allowing you to reach your personal limit and become stronger.”
“Oh? A pill?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” As the woman spoke, she reached under the table, and when she raised her hand again, there was a dark black pill in it.
She placed the pill in front of Fang Yu and said, “Take this pill with you, find a suitable time and place to consume it, and you will fulfill your heart’s desire.”
“Is this pill really that miraculous?” Fang Yu picked up the pill and asked.
“I never lie,” the woman said slowly, exuding an air of mystical elegance.
“What if there’s poison in this pill?” Fang Yu asked again.
Hearing this, the woman frowned.
The surrounding customers could no longer hold back and began to criticize Fang Yu.
“Damn it! Don’t be ungrateful, kid! The master is being compassionate, giving you a free fortune-telling and even a free pill, yet you still have so many doubts?”
“Exactly! How accurate the master’s predictions are, all of us here have witnessed! How many people have taken pills and left in the past few days? If you don’t want it, fine, but why question it?”
“Whether you believe it or not, just get up and leave! Don’t waste everyone’s time! We want our fortunes told too!”
Amidst these criticisms, Fang Yu gripped the pill in his hand, gave the woman a look, and turned to walk away from the crowd.
“Why does this guy act like such a blockhead? Typical case of getting a benefit and still complaining,” the man on the second-floor VIP booth frowned as he watched Fang Yu below.
“Probably a university student. Young students nowadays are all like that, they like to argue, but he’ll definitely take that pill later,” the woman smiled lightly and said.
…
With the pill distributed, the woman’s task for today was considered complete.
Everyone else present was an ordinary person without martial arts foundation, so there was no need to stay any longer.
The woman stood up and collected the cards on the table.
Seeing this, the surrounding people all became anxious.
“Master, aren’t you going to continue fortune-telling?” someone asked loudly.
“I’m a bit tired. Come back tomorrow,” the woman said as she slowly walked toward the exit of the bar.
Although these customers were anxious, they dared not block the woman’s path.
However, their gazes toward Fang Yu sitting in the booth became even more hostile.
It was this young student who had wasted one of their fortune-telling opportunities.
The woman left the bar directly.
Fang Yu watched her back, picked up the pill in his hand, and also walked out of the bar.
As he walked, he examined the pill in his hand.
There was another kind of aura inside this pill.
This aura didn’t belong to an inanimate object but to a living being!
In other words, this pill wasn’t made from medicinal materials.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, pinched the pill between two fingers, and applied gentle pressure.
“Crack!”
The outer shell of the pill was easily crushed by Fang Yu.
Then, Fang Yu saw what was inside the pill.
A curled-up black insect!
This insect looked somewhat similar to an earthworm, but smaller and blacker!
After the shell was crushed, it seemed to be startled and suddenly began to writhe violently.
It jumped onto Fang Yu’s hand and tried to burrow into his palm, seemingly wanting to enter Fang Yu’s body.
But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t penetrate even a bit.
Fang Yu picked up the insect and examined it carefully.
Clearly, this insect was nothing good.
Fang Yu could sense yin and death energy from it.
From its appearance, this insect was somewhat similar to the soul-devouring insects Fang Yu had seen before.
Soul-devouring insects, as the name suggests, could devour souls.
And the woman had said earlier that after taking this pill, one could become stronger…
Fang Yu frowned slightly, thinking.
Just at this moment, from inside the bar behind him, that fluctuating aura suddenly surged!
Fang Yu frowned.
Because of the so-called master, after entering the bar, Fang Yu had momentarily forgotten about the strange aura that had prompted him to enter the bar in the first place.
Now, that aura had surged to an extreme!
“So that’s how it is.”
Fang Yu instantly understood the purpose of this pill and the woman’s intentions.
“Whoosh!”
A ball of true energy rose from Fang Yu’s fingertips, instantly incinerating the insect.
Then, Fang Yu turned around and walked back toward the bar.
