To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 67: Chapter 46: Jade Tablet

Lu Yuan looked at the jade piece in front of him, feeling an unstoppable excitement beneath his calm demeanor.

What did Sun Siwen just say?

The old house’s wall was in disrepair, and a wooden box left by their ancestor fell out from it, containing an item meant to help future generations through hardship.

At first glance, this seemed ordinary, as many families with a deep foundation had similar stories.

But, if they considered the changes that Sun Siwen himself had gone through and his ancestor’s legends, it was entirely different.

‘Brother Sun’s ancestor enjoyed searching for immortals and walking the path of cultivation. It is suspected that he was a cultivator. And Brother Sun said earlier that this jade box appeared because of the damaged wall at the beginning of the year.

That was precisely the time when Sun’s fortune began to change.

From then on, Brother Sun’s luck started to change. He not only became extremely intelligent, but he also successfully became a Scholar. He made many valuable connections and gained friends.’

So, was this change due to the contents of the wooden box?

With this thought, Lu Yuan’s gaze at the jade piece became more burning.

Sun Siwen said that of all the items in the jade box, he felt the closest to this particular object and couldn’t bear to pawn it.

Considering this, it wasn’t hard to guess that the jade piece was likely the most precious item in the jade box, or perhaps the one most closely connected to Sun Siwen.

It could be the item that changed his fate.

And now, this jade piece was given to me.

“I understand your intention, Brother Sun.”

Lu Yuan immediately took the jade piece, carefully placed it in his bosom, then clasped both of Sun Siwen’s hands sincerely and said, “From now on, our two families will become close friends for generations. We will assist and support each other as brothers.”

His words were heartfelt and genuine.

This could potentially be an immortal fate, and it was given directly to him.

Although Lu Yuan wasn’t sure if it was really an immortal fate and even if it was, whether he could actually make use of it, regardless, he had accepted it wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Sun Siwen’s ancestor, who was suspected of being a cultivator, often had a longer life span than an ordinary person.

If that ancestor indeed achieved success in cultivation, who could say for certain that he was already dead?

What if he were still alive?

If Lu Yuan could become close friends and allies with Sun Siwen’s family—a family connected to a cultivator—it would bring great benefits to him no matter how he looked at it.

At this moment, the calculations in Lu Yuan’s heart were rapidly unfolding.

“Brother Lu…”

Unaware of his friend’s inner thoughts, Sun Siwen was touched and moved to tears by Lu Yuan’s sincerity and said, “Alright, from today onwards, our two families will become close friends for generations, never to betray each other.” After saying this, Sun Siwen couldn’t help but cry.

He had been alone for so long, and now that he had a close friend, he felt that he was no longer lonely. He was overwhelmed with emotion.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Lu Yuan patted his friend’s shoulder and urged him to sit down, then added another spoonful of porridge to his bowl and comforted him, saying, “Come on, drink some porridge, eat until you’re full, and you’ll feel better. You won’t be miserable.”

“Okay.” Sun Siwen took a deep breath, then picked up the bowl and began drinking the porridge.

After finishing a large bowl, he was already quite full.

At this point, he felt embarrassed to stay any longer after the emotional outburst, so he stood up and said, “Today, I’m fortunate to have Brother Lu to help me. I will never forget your kindness. I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll take my leave now.”

Having said that, he wiped away his tears, picked up the thirty silver tales on the table, and turned to leave.

Lu Yuan stood up to see him off and, after Sun Siwen was out of sight, immediately closed the door.

He returned to the stone table and sat down. He took out the jade piece from his bosom and began to examine it with great concentration.

The jade piece was half an inch wide, three inches long, and thin like a bamboo slice. It had a green hue, appearing slightly cloudy, as if it were made from the leftover pieces of jade. It didn’t seem valuable.

Perhaps it was because of this that Sun Siwen didn’t want to use this jade piece as a pawn to exchange for money.

For it wouldn’t fetch too many silver tales.

“Is this the “immortal fate”?”

Carefully rubbing the jade piece, Lu Yuan stared at it closely, examining every inch and detail on it.

But after looking again and again, even to the point of straining his eyes, he couldn’t find anything remarkable.

It seemed like an ordinary jade piece, with no peculiar features whatsoever.

This made Lu Yuan begin to doubt himself. Did he make a mistake?

Perhaps this was not an immortal fate at all, and everything was just his imagination.

However, remembering Sun Siwen’s uniqueness, he suppressed his thoughts and continued to explore the jade piece.

“Some divine objects are concealed and do not appear extraordinary at first glance. Perhaps this jade piece is one of those. I’ll try another method.”

After some thought, Lu Yuan channeled the Inner Strength within him and transferred it into the jade piece.

This time, there was indeed a change.

With the infusion of his Inner Strength, the jade piece’s green patterns lit up with a faint glow.

Little by little, a green light radiated from the jade piece.

“It works!”

Seeing this, Lu Yuan’s face lit up with joy.

The changes in the jade piece undoubtedly told him that he hadn’t made a mistake.

This jade piece was indeed a magical object linked to an immortal fate.

With the thought of the immortal fate right before him, he couldn’t resist channeling even more of his Inner Strength into the jade piece.

This time, as more Inner Strength flowed in, more patterns on the jade piece lit up, and its outer glow became even brighter.

However, that was the extent of the change.

The jade piece shone brilliantly, but apart from emitting light, it showed no signs of any other transformation.

Eventually, after transferring the last bit of his Inner Strength without leaving any behind, all the green patterns on the jade piece were illuminated. But still, there was no further change.

“What’s going on?”

Watching this, Lu Yuan held the jade piece and furrowed his brow.

This shouldn’t be the case, should it?

According to the usual course of events, his transfer of Inner Strength should have awakened the jade piece by now.

He should be getting a chance encounter now, or even getting a Divine Skill from the jade piece, or perhaps a storage space or even a Blessed Land and Cavern Heaven would appear… and so on.

But there was no reaction whatsoever. What was happening?

Was this some kind of joke?

“Could it be missing this?”

Suddenly, an idea struck Lu Yuan. He hurriedly extended his hand, with his fingertip aimed at the jade piece, and forced out a drop of blood from his slightly recovered Inner Strength, letting it fall onto the jade piece. Then…

The blood drop slid across the jade piece and landed directly on the table.

“It’s useless?”

Lu Yuan, wide-eyed, was somewhat dumbfounded by the scene.

What happened to the blood acknowledging the master?

Why did it turn out like this when it came to him?

For a moment, he had difficulty accepting this.

After a while, Lu Yuan finally regained his composure.

He didn’t continue to study the jade piece any further.

Since he had already obtained the jade piece, he could slowly research it in the future. Right now, he didn’t want to experience any more setbacks.

Casually putting away the jade piece, Lu Yuan picked up his bowl and scooped another large serving of porridge from the clay pot, then started eating ravenously.

Just like how he consoled Sun Siwen earlier, when one feels upset, eating something would make them feel better.

At this moment, he wanted to vent his frustration into his appetite..
