After all, many times, so-called fortune telling is actually a series of judgments made by fortune tellers based on their rich social experience and accurate eyesight.
The rhythm and intensity of your footsteps tell you roughly how you're feeling!
The material of your clothes, the quality of your skin, and your physical health can indicate your financial resources and even your career path.
The questions you ask will reveal what you care about most.
After understanding all this, they'll spout some mystical and cryptic phrases, making further judgments through ambiguous statements. Then, it's time to unleash their eloquence and start their deception!
Through this process of judging and probing step by step, you can easily learn a lot of information from your conversations.
This is why many highly experienced fortune tellers can often completely fool elites in society, including officials and wealthy businessmen.
Therefore, Lin Yang smiled and immediately took out a box. Inside the box were seven identical stoppers! They were all made of silver, very small, and looked quite nice.
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Master, why don't you calculate it? In a moment, without using any internal energy, I will throw down the stopper in my hand. When all the numbers that face up are added together, will it be an odd or even number? By the way, one, three, and five are odd numbers, and two, four, and six are even numbers."
Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng smiled slightly and remained silent. He had encountered this situation many times before, so he was no longer surprised.
He shook his head and immediately began to calculate. Every now and then, he would look up at Lin Yang.
After a long pause, Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "I just took a look, and you have a total of seven dice in your hand. According to my estimation, the result of these seven dice is odd, odd, even, odd, odd, and even."
"As for the result of the last stopper, I'm not sure either. However, it should be an odd number. So, I guess the final result will be an odd number."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang didn't make any sudden movements. However, in his heart, he thought, "This is a scam! This must be a scam!"
I don't even know what the outcome will be, yet you dare to say that so directly? How is that possible? Could it really be the legendary divine calculation? Able to know five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future?
Thinking this, Lin Yang suddenly released his grip, and the seven stoppers instantly fell to the ground. However, since he didn't use internal force to interfere, the landing time varied slightly. Combined with the differences in landing location and angle, the order in which the seven stoppers appeared was indeed different.
Seeing this, Lin Yang laughed nonchalantly and said, "Hehe, this is normal. Considering the influence of the wind and the stones on the ground, it's perfectly normal for the seven stoppers to be placed in different orders. It seems that Fellow Daoist Li's observation is indeed very meticulous."
Regardless, this demonstrates that Li Chunfeng's observational skills are quite good. Therefore, he addressed him as Fellow Daoist Li. However, what happened next surprised Lin Yang.
As he spun the first stopper, it stopped. The number on it was three, an odd number. In other words, Li Chunfeng had calculated correctly again.
"What great luck!"
As he spoke, Lin Yang subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him. Immediately afterward, he activated his Divine Eye of Luck and began to carefully observe whether someone had made a move just now.
Then, the result of the second dice came out—five, still an odd number. What is the probability of guessing odd or even correctly twice in a row? This is a math problem, and the answer is one in four.
The probability was neither high nor low. However, more importantly, Lin Yang didn't detect any subtle movements during this process. There were no fluctuations in internal energy, no fluctuations in spells, and not even any energy fluctuations.
Then, the result of the third dice roll came out—two dots, an even number. The probability of guessing correctly three times in a row is, mathematically, one in eight!
The fourth result was three, an odd number, so I guessed correctly again. Theoretically speaking, if you rely entirely on guessing, the probability of success is only one in sixteen.
By this point, Lin Yang could no longer hide his astonishment. This was truly, truly unscientific!
The fifth one, a dot, is also an odd number. This time, the probability is one in thirty-two.
In mathematics, there's an interesting term called a low-probability event. It means that if the probability of an event occurring is less than three percent, we don't consider that possibility when thinking about it.
In other words, we don't consider the scenario of guessing correctly five times in a row in real life. Unless, of course, the person opposite you is a reincarnation of the God of Fortune!
Now, Lin Yang felt like he'd been slapped in the face repeatedly. Thankfully, he hadn't been too confident in his words. If he had, he probably wouldn't be able to face anyone right now.
The sixth one is six, which is an even number. I guessed it right again.
By now, Lin Yang was convinced that even though Li Chunfeng came from an ordinary world, he possessed genuine skill. Now, he just wanted to see what the outcome of the seventh stopper would be.
After a few breaths, the final result was in: the seventh die showed a three, an odd number. All seven die results were correct. Even though it was just a very simple guessing game of odd or even.
Seeing this, Lin Yang cupped his hands in apology and said, "Brother Dao, you are truly amazing! I have underestimated everyone! I never imagined that a real dragon could be raised in this small pond!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng smiled. He had seen Lin Yang act this way many times before. Therefore, he didn't take Lin Yang's earlier probing to heart.
“There’s no need for you to do this, Master. By spreading the Emperor’s martial arts, you have given all martial artists in the world an opportunity. This is a truly meritorious deed,” Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
"This is just a small gift as an apology for what happened earlier." With that, Lin Yang handed over a storage ring.
The space inside was neither too big nor too small, roughly one meter long, one meter wide, and one meter high. It also contained one hundred jin of spirit rice and a small bucket of spirit dew.
Anyway, according to his agreement with Zhang Lu, barring any mishaps, Zhang Lu would definitely become his subordinate in the future, unless Zhang Lu didn't want to ascend. And Lin Yang had always been very generous to his subordinates.
"Thank you very much. To be honest, I am quite interested in these items from the upper realm." Li Chunfeng did not refuse, but instead accepted them directly.
Seeing this, Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, Li Chunfeng's appearance also reminded Lin Yang that the talents of the entire Tang Dynasty could not be summarized in just the original novel, which only has a little over a million words!
"I wonder, in your eyes, who are the talented people in this world today?" Lin Yang asked with a smile.
"Haha, there are quite a few talented people. For example, my master Yuan Tiangang and I. Especially my master, whose skills are a hundred times better than mine," Li Chunfeng said confidently.
"In addition, there is Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, a direct descendant of the Celestial Masters sect, who successfully refined the Elixir of Tribulation based on ancient texts. Now, after consuming the Elixir of Tribulation, Master Sun has successfully rejuvenated. Although he is already over sixty years old, he looks no different from a young man."
"There is also a young man from the Buddhist community. He dislikes the limelight, but he is very capable. Although he is still very young, his future achievements will be no less than mine. His Buddhist name is Xuanzang, and he..."

Chapter 96: Cihang Jingzhai's Counterattack - The Battle to Slay Immortals!
Before we knew it, six months had almost passed. Although it was only a short six months, the whole world seemed to have come to a standstill during these six months. Neither the Great Ming Sect beyond the Great Wall, nor the infamous Demonic Sect, nor the Cihang Jingzhai, which claimed to be the leader of the righteous path, made any major moves.
As for the various feudal lords across the land, they all fell into a rare silence. For six whole months, there were no major wars, and even when conflicts occasionally arose, the number of people involved in the clashes was kept below one hundred.
It was as if all the ambitious people in the world had died overnight! In reality, of course, that was impossible! Everyone was silent, waiting, waiting for the final explosion!
That day is not far away!
