Synopsis

Chapter 1 - "Three divinations a day."

Xia Kingdom, Qingyun Mountain Range!

Beneath the blue sky and white clouds lies a picturesque mountain range where an ancient Taoist temple is situated.

The signboard of the temple boldly reads "Baiyun Temple"!

A handsome young man dressed in a Taoist robe, with a stalk of dogtail grass between his lips, is lying on the grass not far from the entrance of the temple, looking utterly content and at ease.

"I, a grand master of the mystical gate, have actually crossed over to become a little Taoist priest!"

Su Han sighed with emotion.

It was just three days ago that he encountered a problem during his cultivation, which led to his body exploding and dying.

Unexpectedly, his soul crossed over to a parallel world and possessed the body of a little Taoist priest with the same name and surname, inheriting a dilapidated little Taoist temple right from the start!

At the same time, he also inherited the memories of this little Taoist priest.

The experiences of the little Taoist priest were similar to his own; both were orphans from a young age and were taken in by the old head priest of the temple. After the old head priest passed away five years ago, the little Taoist priest inherited Baiyun Temple and continued to cultivate in the mountains.

Unfortunately, there were no powerful legacies within Baiyun Temple, and the little Taoist priest had not learned any real skills!

"I still need to head down the mountain!"

Su Han stretched and sat up from the grass.

"In the mountains, you can't even see a single person, where am I supposed to tell fortunes?"

On the second day after his transmigration, Su Han acquired the essential tool for any transmigrator—a system!

The "Three Divination a Day" system!

As long as he conducts three divinations daily, upon completing the task, he can receive a random reward!

But for these three divinations, each one must be paid for with three thousand yuan!

Su Han figured that he would have to go to a big city for this; there are some small villages around here, but they're all farmers with not high incomes!

If you charge them three thousand yuan for a divination, they might just hit you in the face with their hoe!

Returning to the courtyard of the Taoist temple, Su Han sat on a wooden chair and took out his phone, opening up TikTok.

As soon as he entered TikTok, the first thing that caught his eye was a video of a curvy beauty twisting her waist and hips in front of the camera.

"How can a video like this be recommended to me, a person devoted to the Way?"

"It's really a decline of morals!"

Su Han gave two likes with a flick of his wrist and then scrolled down.

He came across a news story!

#A man in Shaanxi province pretending to be an able immortal was live-streaming fortune-telling, many netizens were deceived, victim Mr. Chen reported to the police, and the man has been arrested by the authorities according to the law.

Seeing this news, Su Han's eyebrows shot up!

"This seems like a good option indeed!"

On TikTok, there indeed were quite a few so-called "able immortals" live-streaming fortune-telling, but essentially, they were using some set phrases and desperately deceiving people.

These scammers getting caught, of course, was what they deserved!

But he was different; he was a genuine grandmaster of the mystical gate!

Skilled in fortune-telling and geomancy, he knew them all!

Moreover, conducting fortune-telling through live streams could also count as completing his tasks!

After all, the system only required him to tell three fortunes a day, it didn't strictly require him to do it face-to-face!

Besides completing tasks, he could also make a little bit of money!

Although Su Han had very low material desires, he still needed to live. Although he could grow some things in the mountains, sometimes he still needed to go outside to replenish supplies!

In addition, by live-streaming fortune-telling, he could help change people's destinies, and the internet is a fast channel for spreading information. In this way, he could also gain a lot of merit!

||

Su Han's method of cultivation required a foundation of merit!

In his previous life, it was precisely because he hadn't accumulated enough merit and was too eager to achieve quick results in his cultivation that he caused his energy channels to flow backward, ultimately leading to his body exploding and dying.

This time, he had to learn from that lesson!

When it comes to action, Su Han wasn't one to dilly-dally!

After tinkering for a while, Su Han quickly opened a live stream room on the TikTok platform!

"One divination for three thousand, three divinations a day, no charge if inaccurate!"

As a grandmaster of the mystical gate, fortune-telling and geomancy were his strongest suits, and he had hardly ever failed!

With just a light pinch of his fingers, he was sure that customers would come seeking divinations today!

Su Han waited patiently, and through the live stream camera, his upper body could be seen in the live room!

Eyes like bright stars, handsome and dashing with a refined elegance!

"Quite a good-looking fellow!"

Looking at the camera, Su Han was very satisfied with his appearance.

At this moment, another live stream had just started!

Although it had just begun, it already had quite a high popularity, with hundreds of viewers!

The bullet comments were very active!

"Did everyone see the news? Yesterday, the host went to the police, and today the fortune-telling scammer was arrested—it's really satisfying, hahaha!"

"Using such means to deceive and swindle, getting caught was only what they deserved!"

"This time, the host has truly become legendary through this battle!"

"I admit, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw 'victim Mr. Chen'!"

...

"Hahaha!"

In the live stream, a man named Chen Bin laughed and said: "It's a good thing that scammer charged me two thousand yuan per divination. That's enough to meet the threshold for filing a case. If he had only charged dozens or hundreds of yuan, we might not have been able to catch him!"

Chen Bin was a Douyin (TikTok) streamer who specialized in exposing fakes!

Recently, he had set his sights on those fake metaphysical fortune-tellers on Douyin!

Yesterday, he consulted a so-called master on Douyin for a fortune-telling service, spent two thousand yuan, and not a single prediction came true!

After finishing his own live stream, he immediately reported the incident to the police, and today that fake master was already behind bars!

Of course, fans in the live stream loved watching the excitement!

"Continue! There are still many fortune-tellers on Douyin, expose them one by one!"

"Exactly! I hate these kinds of scammers the most!"

"It seems that so-called fortune-telling is indeed all about trickery and deception!"

"I was actually considering getting a divination because my career and love life have been unlucky lately, but thank goodness I followed Brother Bin and saved myself a bunch of money!"

...

Seeing the audience in the live stream looking forward to more, Chen Bin didn't drag it out!

On one hand, he hated these fraudulent activities, and on the other hand, this matter brought in a lot of traffic!

Especially after he reported the fake master yesterday, it shot him straight to the top of the trending searches!

Otherwise, there wouldn't normally be so many people in his live stream!

"Come on, let's see who else dares to do live fortune-telling!"

Chen Bin immediately searched on Douyin's live streaming interface!

Because a scammer had just been caught today, many of the usual fortune-telling live streams were now too scared to show up, leaving only a few remaining!

"These scammers must have run away!"

Chen Bin snorted coldly, then his attention was drawn to another live stream!

"Brothers, this live stream is interesting; it seems to be a Taoist priest!"

Chen Bin laughed: "Let's go check it out!"

Entering the live stream!

A Taoist priest dressed in a robe appeared on the screen, with an old, dilapidated Taoist temple in the background!

This person was lounging in a wooden rocking chair, handsome and stylish, exuding a kind of lazy charm!

The audience in Chen Bin's live stream was shocked!

"Wow! This Taoist priest is quite handsome, kind of like a high-end version of Daniel Wu!"

"Is being a Taoist priest so competitive now? This guy is actually very good-looking!"

"With looks like that, he could be a beauty streamer. Rich ladies would definitely shower him with gifts. Why come out and scam people with fortune-telling?"

"Handsomeness is useless; it's wrong to scam people, it's a crime!!"
