Chapter 197 -197: Seeking Fortune from the Yue Family

How could this be, had she seen it wrong?

It was the first time Yue Qingqing didn’t trust her own eyes.

The Yue Family was just an ordinary family, how could they be cursed in this world where spiritual energy was sparse?

But no matter how much Yue Qingqing rubbed her eyes, the scene before her remained unchanged.

She couldn’t resist calling out, “Grandma!”

Lin Chunju had just wrapped a clean cloth around her hand, and when she heard Yue Qingqing’s voice so anxious, she immediately misunderstood.

“It’s okay, Qingqing, there’s other meat. We’ll definitely get to eat today.”

Yue Qingqing was both amused and frustrated. Was she so gluttonous in her grandmother’s eyes?

“It’s not about the meat, it’s the blood!”

Yue Qingqing pointed at the drops of blood that had not yet dried on the chopping board, but Lin Chunju didn’t understand what she meant.

To her, that drop of blood couldn’t be more normal.

Yue Qingqing knew she couldn’t explain it in a normal way, so she pulled out the piece of mutton-fat jade from her chest.

Her fingertips touched a bit of the scarlet blood and wiped it on the mutton-fat jade.

The previously transparent and lustrous jade suddenly lost its brilliance, as if it was cloaked in a layer of mist.

When Yue Qingqing exerted some spiritual energy, the faint redness turned pitch black.

A chilling sensation enveloped Lin Chunju, who didn’t dare blink as she stared at the jade.

The blackness on the jade seemed to grow legs and quickly crawled downward, about to touch the ground.

With a flick of her fingertips, Yue Qingqing made the blackness quietly vanish into the air, as if it had never existed.

The mutton-fat jade regained its original sheen.

Lin Chunju witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

Though she had known that Yue Qingqing was no ordinary person, she still felt as if she was in a dreamlike daze.

“Qingqing, what is this?”

“Someone is borrowing from you, from the Yue Family’s Qi Fortune!” Yue Qingqing said with conviction.

Lin Chunju almost lost her balance, staggering a few times before steadying herself against a nearby cabinet.

“What does that mean? Grandma doesn’t understand.”

Yue Qingqing pondered how to explain it to her.

In her past life, Yue Qingqing had heard of Qi Fortune borrowing, just like her own fortune alteration, which was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

It involves transferring someone else’s Qi Fortune onto oneself while one’s own disasters are borne by the other.

From the very description, one can tell how sinister Qi Fortune borrowing is, and the Heavenly Dao would never allow such an evil technique to exist.

Therefore, those who practice the Curse Technique of Qi Fortune borrowing often use their own lives as a stake to succeed in the technique.

Even greater than the price Yue Qingqing paid for altering her fortune!

However, there were always cultivators who were adept at exploiting loopholes and found a new rule.

They discovered that borrowing Qi Fortune is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth, but this restriction does not exist between blood relatives.

A highly skilled female cultivator, desperate for a child, finally conceived after a hundred years.

The child, after being born, was cursed by a demon clan elder, doomed to die of a violent illness twenty years after his birth.

The female cultivator, in order to save her son, defied the heavens and used the technique of fortune alteration, willing to exchange her life for her son’s smooth and peaceful life.

However, the female cultivator only lost some cultivation base in the end, and the child’s curse was broken.

The only side effect was that the great fortune originally borne by the female cultivator was transferred to her son, who eventually became a powerful cultivator.

Evil cultivators with ulterior motives then discovered that the fortune alteration technique could be exercised through blood ties.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, parents caring for their children and siblings looking after their younger ones are acts of kindness, within the permissible scope of the rules.

But the rigid Heavenly Dao probably never anticipated that afterwards, many clans would have children born to less favored branches for the purpose of borrowing Qi Fortune.

Doomed from birth to have their Qi Fortune borrowed by the family.

This person would be plagued by misfortune, unable to advance in cultivation, and the descendants they bore would also suffer from borrowing Qi Fortune due to the same bloodline.

And those who borrowed from their Qi Path would prosper and flourish with Qi Fortune.

Therefore, the victims of Qi Fortune borrowing were disdainfully called “human livestock” by the evil cultivators.

They were merely livestock providing Qi Fortune.

Of course, when the evil cultivators’ deeds were exposed to the world, because they were too cruel and evil, they were eradicated by the cultivators of the Righteous Path.

But Yue Qingqing had never expected to see such a curse technique in this world again.
