I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 102 - 100 Su Ziyue (Requesting First Subscription)_2
Chapter 102: Chapter 100 Su Ziyue (Requesting First Subscription)_2
“Su Senior’s great kindness and virtue are something I can’t repay. I am willing to offer the Blood Evil Saber, hoping only for Senior’s forgiveness for my previous disrespect,” Chen Yuan said, very perceptively.
Since Su Xiaoyue could recognize and name the Blood Evil Saber at a glance, she must have known about its origins. Perhaps her goal had always been this item.
Compared to the Blood Evil Saber, Chen Yuan felt that his life was somewhat more important.
After all, this woman didn’t seem like a good person.
Being able to defeat a practitioner of the Gang Condensation Realm with a mere wave of her hand was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
It’s better to be cautious at heart.
...
“The Blood Evil Saber…”
With a grab of her right palm, the small black knife on Chen Yuan’s left arm instantly fell into her hand. She twirled her fingers around, playing with the Blood Evil Saber.
In her hands, the Blood Evil Saber was very obedient, no different from a usual small dagger.
“This thing isn’t of much use to me. I’ll give it back to you.”
With a flick of her finger, the Blood Evil Saber returned to Chen Yuan’s left arm.
“Then…What do you want, Senior?” Chen Yuan’s gaze flickered.
Apart from the remnants of the Vajra Glaze Body and the Blood Evil Saber, the most valuable thing he possessed was the Qi Fortune Altar, but he felt that Su Xiaoyue probably wouldn’t detect it.
Su Xiaoyue did not reply to Chen Yuan’s question but instead said indifferently:
“Let me introduce myself—My name is Su Ziyue, from the Taoist Divine Palace!”
“Su Ziyue, Taoist Divine Palace!”
Chen Yuan murmured.
The fact that the name ‘Su Xiaoyue’ was an alias became apparent to Chen Yuan when he saw her today. After all, even the identity of a courtesan was fake.
How could the name be real?
But he genuinely had never heard of the ‘Taoist Divine Palace’; however, it sounded like a very remarkable organization.
“Su Senior…”
Chen Yuan was puzzled. What did this have to do with him?
Su Ziyue continued:
“The Taoist Divine Palace is a mysterious force hidden from the world. Every official member is considered equal. We help each other, hoping to advance further on the path of Martial Arts.”
“So, the reason Senior saved me was…”
Chen Yuan was starting to grasp something.
“To invite you to join the Taoist Divine Palace, to become one of us. Of course, you can refuse, but as the price for saving you, either give me your Blood Evil Saber or… do three things for me.”
Su Ziyue crossed her left leg over the other, her legs shining like carved jade, devoid of any excess flesh, a hint of a mysterious allure flickering in and out of sight.
Chen Yuan remained silent for a moment. Though Su Ziyue seemed to offer two choices, in essence, she was intent on having him join the Taoist Divine Palace. Chen Yuan was not clear what fate awaited him should he refuse.
“Why…Why would Su Senior invite me?”
From Su Ziyue’s strength, it was evident that the Taoist Divine Palace was extremely extraordinary, and its members were likely beings he could only look up to. Chen Yuan could not understand why he was being invited.
Considering that Chen Yuan was merely a minor Martial Artist of the Foundation Establishment Realm and that Su Ziyue could squash him effortlessly—not to mention his influence as an arrest officer which at most covered just a county—what could he count for to such a powerful figure?
Could she possibly foresee that he would become a top-tier warrior in the world, make an early alliance, and then hand him the task of maintaining world peace?
Catching a glimpse of Chen Yuan, Su Ziyue candidly stated:
“Because you possess Qi Fortune!”
“Qi Fortune?”
Chen Yuan’s pupils dilated; this was the first time he had heard the term ‘Qi Fortune’ from someone else’s lips, and apparently, Su Ziyue knew something more!
Could it be related to his Qi Fortune Altar?
Perhaps sensing that Chen Yuan did not understand ‘Qi Fortune,’ Su Ziyue explained:
“You can think of it as… a kind of good luck. Everyone endowed with Qi Fortune usually turns bad luck into good and gains various opportunities. The stronger the Qi Fortune, the higher their achievements will be in the future.”
“Of course, Qi Fortune is not omnipotent. There have been many with Qi Fortune who have perished. The most crucial factors are still one’s temperament and strength. Jianghu is perilous, and without knowing restraint, survival is difficult.”
“So, Su Senior inviting me to join the Taoist Divine Palace means that the members of the palace all possess Qi Fortune?” Chen Yuan’s eyes sparkled. Earlier, when Su Ziyue appeared, Chen Yuan had discreetly activated his Heavenly Eye Pupil Skill.
However, there was no response from Su Ziyue’s body.
Chen Yuan did not know whether it was because she lacked Qi Fortune or because her Realm was too low to observe.
He had once speculated that perhaps every person in a high position or with strong power possessed Qi Fortune, but that was merely a thought—if Qi Fortune was so cheap.
It probably couldn’t be called Qi Fortune anymore.
“As I said, Qi Fortune is just a kind of good luck bestowed by the heavens, but it does not represent everything, a person’s achievements are not determined by Qi Fortune.”
“Martial Arts cultivation relies on oneself.”
Su Ziyue did not directly answer Chen Yuan’s question, but she responded in her own way.
It was clear that not everyone in the Taoist Divine Palace was endowed with Qi Fortune.
“Senior, how does one obtain Qi Fortune? Is it innate or…” Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Su Ziyue was silent for a long while before saying,
“You will naturally understand when you reach my Realm in the future. As for now, knowing too much is not good for you.”
“Also, you’ve asked enough questions. If you do not join the Taoist Divine Palace, each question would be a condition.”
Chen Yuan: “…”
Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and moreover, Su Ziyue had not answered all his questions.
“Senior Su has a life-saving grace for Chen, and as the saying goes, a drop of water should be returned with a spring. Since it is the invitation of my savior, how can Chen refuse?”

After weighing it out, Chen Yuan chose to join.
“Don’t make it sound so reluctant. There are many strong people who wish to join the Taoist Divine Palace, but the Taoist Divine Palace prefers quality over quantity and does not accept just anyone.”
“Even if one is endowed with Qi Fortune, if the temperament does not pass the test, they will not be accepted into the Taoist Divine Palace. I have observed you for some time and have approved your temperament, otherwise, I would not have saved you today.”
Su Ziyue glanced at Chen Yuan.
“Previously, Senior Su mentioned about being a formal member… Am I now…” Chen Yuan hesitated to ask.
“You are currently listed among the reserve candidates. To become a formal member, you at least need to possess the cultivation of the Core Realm, and besides that, you also need to make contributions to the Taoist Divine Palace.”
“Core Realm…”
Okay, Chen Yuan had no idea what Realm this was, but he knew without thinking that it was far beyond the Gang Condensation Realm.
It was the level he aspired to.
“What should I do?”
“Don’t worry, the tasks assigned to you will definitely be within your capabilities and will come with compensation; you will not be forced to work for nothing,” Su Ziyue seemed to see through Chen Yuan’s careful thoughts.
“Senior jests.” Chen Yuan smiled faintly.
“Now that Chen has joined the Taoist Divine Palace, may I know the identities of the other members?”
“You can know only after you become a formal member. For now, you only know of me. Of course, apart from those formal members, no one else will know of your existence.”
“Also, remember not to disclose the existence of the Taoist Divine Palace, we too have enemies!”
Su Ziyue said with a very serious expression.
“Rest assured, Senior, Chen understands.”
Chen Yuan nodded.
Since Su Ziyue had warned him so solemnly, it certainly was not false.
And he himself was not a blabbermouth; he was just an ordinary man who substituted ‘mouth’ for ‘chicken.’
Su Ziyue sat up, her expression calm:
“Don’t keep calling me senior; do I really look that old?”
“No… no… Su… Miss Su is probably about the same age as Chen, it’s just out of respect for Miss Su’s strength,” Chen Yuan quickly said, but he thought to himself:
“Indeed, every woman does care about her age.”
Su Ziyue snorted lightly and glanced at Chen Yuan.
“Miss Su, might Chen know how the Taoist Divine Palace discovered the Qi Fortune within me?”
From Su Ziyue’s earlier words, Chen Yuan sensed that Su Ziyue had come specifically for him.
