Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

"...Yuxiu?"

"Uncle Li?"

Li Mu and the woman who walked in exclaimed at the same time, an indescribable awkwardness making them both want to disappear into the ground.

Li Mu never expected that the technician who came to serve him would be Yang Yuxiu, who lived across the street from him!

Yang Yuxiu was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. She was naturally beautiful. Three years ago, her husband died in a car accident. She and her frail and sickly daughter depended on each other for survival, and they lived a very difficult life.

"Oh my god... this is so embarrassing..."

Yang Yuxiu quickly covered her face with her hands, then turned around to face the wall.

She and Li Mu were very familiar with each other, and as neighbors, their two families got along quite well.

They would be happy to help anyone in need, and if Li Mu cooked something delicious, she would bring some over to the mother and daughter.

Yang Yuxiu never expected that the first customer she would encounter on her first day of work would be Uncle Li from across the street!

Li Mu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say for a moment, his old face turning red.

But in the current situation, it would be even more awkward not to say anything.

He steadied himself and asked, "Yuxiu, how did you end up doing this? I remember you worked at a supermarket."

"Uncle Li... I had no choice... To pay for Cai'er's medical treatment, I borrowed money from loan sharks. This shop is run by loan sharks, and they forced me to work here as a technician to pay off their debts..."

Yang Yuxiu started crying as she spoke.

"Damn it! They're forcing you into this... I knew it! You're a decent kid, you wouldn't do something like this."

Li Mu cursed angrily, but he still didn't say the word "prostitute".

To be honest, Li Mu was surprised and felt a pang of heartache when he suddenly discovered that the technician was Yang Yuxiu.

In his eyes, Yang Yuxiu was gentle, kind, obedient, and sensible, far better than his lazy and idle daughter-in-law, Liu Yanjuan!

To be honest, if Liu Yanjuan had done this, he would only be angry at her for her lack of ambition and saddened by her bad behavior, but he wouldn't feel so sorry for her.

Three years after her son's death, her daughter-in-law Liu Yanjuan did not remarry and still lives with him. Outsiders still think that this daughter-in-law is filial.

But only Li Mu knew that this woman wanted to live off his retirement savings and also wanted his house.

Li Mu's children are all dead, and his wife is gone too. If he dies, his daughter-in-law Liu Yanjuan will be his only legal heir to his property and funeral expenses.

If she remarries, she will lose her status as a legal heir.

But how could Li Mu bear to see a good woman like Yang Yuxiu fall into prostitution?

Now that Li Mu knows she was forced into it, all he feels is sympathy for Yang Yuxiu.

"Uncle Li, please don't tell anyone... Actually, this is my first time doing this. Who would have thought I'd run into someone I know..."

Yang Yuxiu wiped away her tears forcefully; her face was already red to the roots of her ears.

Seeing Yang Yuxiu crying so sadly, Li Mu felt sorry for her and asked, "Yuxiu, how much money do you owe them?"

"...more than 50,000 including principal and interest."

"They're pushing people into a fire pit just for 50,000 yuan! These people are beasts! Yuxiu, Uncle will pay your debt for you first. Come on, let's go home!"

Without much hesitation, Li Mu pulled Yang Yuxiu to go out.

Although he didn't have much money, 50,000 was still a considerable sum for him. But he didn't have much time left, so he wanted to use the money to do good deeds and help those who deserved it before he passed away. This way, the money would be well spent.

"Uncle Li, you're not exactly well-off either... Fifty thousand is no small sum..."

"Even if I have to sell everything I own, I won't let you do this! Let's go!"

Yang Yuxiu frowned, wanting to decline, but Li Mu interrupted her and forcibly took her out of the room.

Li Mu directly called the boss over and then helped Yang Yuxiu pay off her high-interest loan.

The boss was a bald, middle-aged man who didn't look like a good person at all. However, since the loan sharks had already paid back the principal and interest, he could only force a smile and let Yang Yuxiu go.

Li Mu knew that calling the police would be useless; people who could lend money at exorbitant interest rates and run such gray industries were simply not people like them from the bottom of society.

"Uncle Li, I really don't know how to thank you! I will definitely pay you back in the future..."

After leaving the club, Yang Yuxiu was moved to tears by Li Mu's gratitude.

"Well, there's no rush to pay me back. I'm just an old man living alone, I don't need much money."

Although Li Mu didn't expect Yang Yuxiu to repay the money, he couldn't say she didn't need to, because he knew she was a very strong-willed woman.

"Yuxiu, you should go back first. I have something to do."

Li Mu waved to Yang Yuxiu, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Uncle Li's old and lonely figure, Yang Yuxiu couldn't help but feel her eyes redden again.

She knew very well what Li Mu had gone through over the years. Uncle Li himself had suffered more than anyone else, yet he still managed to give her so much of his retirement money. She would never forget this profound kindness.

Actually, she was surprised and embarrassed when she discovered that the guest at the club was Uncle Li, but she didn't have any intention of laughing at him or looking down on him.

She could understand Uncle Li's difficulties. After his wife passed away, he had not remarried, and it was only natural for him to have physical needs.

Unfortunately, he ran into Yang Yuxiu, which made Li Mu lose the urge to "act recklessly".

He walked to the entrance of a Western restaurant that looked quite nice, and feeling a bit hungry, he decided to try his luck at eating something Western.

He couldn't remember the last time he had a proper Western meal.

Since I'm nearing the end of my life anyway, I might as well eat whatever I want, without worrying about the price.

"After booking a hotel room, we go out for Western food, and it's always the same thing. Can't you come up with something new and different?"

After Li Mu sat down in a private room, a familiar voice suddenly reached his ears.

The sound was coming from the next booth, which was separated by an opaque glass partition.

He recognized the woman's voice all too well; it was his daughter-in-law, Liu Yanjuan!

Upon hearing his daughter-in-law mention booking a hotel room, Li Mu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

"Hehe, what kind of new tricks do you want? Just tell me, and I'll try my best to satisfy you. We're not short of money!"

However, upon hearing another man's voice, Li Mu's expression immediately hardened.

Because this man was actually his former son-in-law, Ma Tao!

Li Mu's daughter died in a car accident less than three years after marrying Ma Tao. What angered him was that less than a month after his daughter's death, Ma Tao had already married another woman!

Because of this incident, Li Mu completely severed ties with Ma Tao.

He never expected that Ma Tao, that bastard, would actually have an affair with his daughter-in-law, Liu Yanjuan!

Li Mu's cheek muscles twitched with anger, but he didn't say anything, nor did he want the two adulterers to find out he was there.

"I know you're rich. You made a fortune off Li Mo, and then took a cut from Li Gang. You really know how to make money!"

"Hehe, you're not short of money, are you? You took most of Li Gang's accidental death insurance payout! Don't you have that old codger at home? Take him out on the next job, and you'll get another big sum! When the old bastard dies, you'll get his house and a funeral allowance. Then you'll be a little rich woman!"

"Hehehe! Keep your voice down, or someone will hear you!"

……

hum!

Hearing the conversation between his daughter-in-law Liu Yanjuan and Ma Tao, Li Mu's mind went blank!

He never imagined that his daughter Li Mo and son Li Gang were actually killed by Ma Tao and Liu Yanjuan!

It's all for the sake of getting their personal accident insurance!

Moreover, they are about to extend their clutches to him!

Only then did Li Mu understand why Liu Yanjuan had been so kind as to buy him a valuable insurance policy some time ago.

So it turns out these two beasts were plotting to kill him for his money!

Bastard! Demon!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!

Li Mu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; the immense shock and burning rage made his whole body tremble.

He wished he could rush over immediately and strangle those two heartless demons to death!

However, even though his anger was burning, Li Mu still pressed his hand firmly on the table, gritting his teeth and suppressing his impulse.

Because he knew that he was old and weak, and even if he rushed over, he wouldn't be able to defeat the two of them.

If they were to discover now that he already knew about their crimes, Li Mu believed he would never have another chance to avenge his tragically murdered children.

At that moment, the intense desire for revenge forced him to suppress all his shock and rage.

Li Mu gritted his teeth and vowed fiercely in his heart: Before he dies, he must kill Ma Tao and Liu Yanjuan!

Even if it means dying together with them, we must kill them all!!

He suppressed his indescribable anger and quietly left the restaurant.

However, perhaps due to a surge in anger causing his blood pressure to spike, Li Mu, who was already physically weak, collapsed on the roadside on his way home.

Just as Li Mu fainted, he felt as if he had left his physical body and entered a mysterious space.

The surrounding space was shrouded in mist. Before he could even react, a clear yet ancient voice suddenly echoed in the void: "Thank Heaven, my Yin-Yang Spiritual Proton has finally been activated! Li Mu, I am the Celestial Saint Venerable Tianyi of the Immortal Realm. Billions of years ago, I was framed by my enemies, resulting in the destruction of my physical body and the shattering of my primordial soul. After my primordial soul shattered, it broke into nine primordial soul spiritual protons. These protons have undergone countless reincarnations throughout the world. And you are the Yin-Yang Spiritual Proton among these nine primordial soul spiritual protons, the most core one. The activation of the Yin-Yang Spiritual Proton in your current reincarnation is your good fortune, and also my destiny!"

The voice, seemingly coming from nowhere, filled Li Mu with terror and confusion. Before he could respond, the aged voice continued, "Li Mu, you must find any one of the remaining eight spiritual progenitors within three years and merge with them. Otherwise, your soul will be scattered, and you will never be able to escape the cycle of reincarnation. The remaining eight spiritual progenitors are: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. These spiritual progenitors may be human or other kinds of living beings."

"...Um, then, how should I find them? How do I know if they are your primordial spirit progeny?"

Although Li Mu was bewildered and astonished, for some reason, he seemed to have a deep-seated belief in this mysterious voice and subconsciously asked a question.

"I will pass on the Guiyuan Tianyi Technique to you. When you cultivate the main cultivation method of this technique, Guiyuan Tianyi Technique, the Guiyuan spiritual energy will condense in your dantian. When you encounter other spiritual particles, the Guiyuan spiritual energy will condense the hexagram diagram of that spiritual particle in your dantian, and you will know that the other party is one of my other primordial spirit particles."

"Then how can I merge with other spiritual protons?" Li Mu asked again.
