Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the others turned their heads blankly. Then they saw a skinny old Taoist in shabby clothes with a wretched expression, rubbing his hands and laughing dryly as he walked in.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? "Zhang Feiyang stood up and asked vigilantly.
"Immeasurable Deity, I'm Xiaoyao Zi!" The wretched and skinny old Daoist bowed to everyone. Then, he stared straight at the Taibai Immortal Wine Path in front of Xiao Fan. He licked his lips and chuckled, "I was just passing by and smelled the aroma of wine. My heart was itching, so I came in to see if I could ask for two cups of wine."
Xiao Fan turned around and looked at the skinny old Taoist. An imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and then he said lightly, "Yes!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" The skinny old Taoist was overjoyed when he heard that. He quickly trotted to Xiao Fan's side, picked up the wine bowl that Xiao Fan had just filled, and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth!
"Gulp, gulp!"
The wretched and skinny old Daoist raised his head and drank the big bowl of Taibai Immortal Wine in the blink of an eye. Then, he put the bowl down heavily and laughed wildly. "Good wine, good wine, really good wine!"
"It melts as soon as it enters your mouth and nose. It's as mellow as an orchid. It's really the best wine. It's the king of wine!" The wretched and skinny old Taoist closed his eyes and said while shaking his head with an expression of extreme enjoyment.
"Tsk, this wine smells good, but I don't believe it can be better than Maotai," Lin Yueru said unhappily when she saw the wretched skinny old Daoist praising Xiao Fan's wine.
"Little girl, you don't understand!" The skinny and wretched old Taoist immediately said seriously, "I've drunk countless wines, such as Maotai, Wuliangye, Martell, Remy Martin, Vodka, and 1982 Lafite. I've drunk all of them, but the wine in front of me is definitely the best wine I've ever drunk. There's no other!"
"This wine's goodness can't be described with words, because any language to describe it is blasphemy. It's worthy of being the only emperor of wine. It's not too much to call it a fairy wine!" The skinny old Taoist said righteously.
"This is a fairy wine!" Xiao Fan said silently.
"I don't believe you!" Lin Yueru was still skeptical.
The skinny old Taoist shook his head and said, "Let's wait until this wine is sold to everyone and caused a huge sensation in our country, and even the whole world...
"Let's talk about it then!" Lin Yueru crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Fan provocatively.
"That!" The wretched old Daoist laughed dryly again. He rubbed his hands and looked at Xiao Fan fawningly. "Little friend, can you give this old Daoist some more? This old Daoist is really, really … Hehe!"
Xiao Fan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the skinny old Taoist with interest. After staring at him for a while, he smiled and said, "I can give you the wine, but why should I give it to you?"
"Why should I?" The skinny old Taoist rolled his eyes and laughed. "How about this? I know a little about the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes and can tell fortunes. Why don't I tell the fates of the four of you?"
"No!" Xiao Fan shook his head.
"No?" The skinny old Taoist was stunned. Then, he said unwillingly, "Do you know who I am? I'm … So many people beg me to tell their fates, but I don't know! "
"I don't care who you are. You have to know that this wine of mine is unique. Other than me, no one else in the world can make this wine." Xiao Fan looked askance at the skinny old Taoist and said nonchalantly, "You're not the only one who knows the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes. Who doesn't know the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes? Why should I ask you to tell my fortune? "
"You brat …!" The skinny and wretched old Daoist was instantly infuriated. He then looked at the wine vat behind Xiao Fan and hesitated.
"Alright, I'll go all out today!" After hesitating for a long time, the skinny old Taoist said with a pained expression, "Other than telling your fortune, I'll tell you the future trend of your fates. How about that?"
"You know the Art of Observing Fates?" Xiao Fan was stunned. Then, an imperceptible gray light flashed in his eyes.
He had long seen that the skinny old Taoist was not ordinary. He wanted to trick him and see what he could do. However, he did not expect that the skinny old Taoist would know the Art of Observing Fates.
The Art of Observing Fates was a very complicated, profound and difficult knowledge to learn. Even in the Xianxia world, there were not many people who could learn the Art of Observing Fates.
However, once you learned it, you would benefit endlessly.
Because you could check the fates of almost any person and almost any force in the future for a certain period of time. Thus, you could seek good fortune and avoid calamity. You could make the best judgment. It was a supreme life-saving skill.
Of course, even if you knew the Art of Observing Fates, it was best not to check the fates of others casually. Everyone knew that fates were very important and could not be checked by others casually. In order to prevent people who knew the Art of Observing Fates from acting recklessly, many people would find ways to ask someone to set up a Killing Array in their own Divine Palace. If someone dared to check their fates casually, their strength would be crippled and they would explode and die on the spot.
Putting all this aside, Xiao Fan naturally knew how to see one's luck. However, he had never used it since he came back. This was because this spell required a lot of spirit energy, and Xiao Fan's spirit energy recovery was extremely slow. He simply didn't have the time to look at other people's luck.
Now, the skinny old Taoist knew the Art of Observing Fates. If it was really as he said, it would be just right. He could see their fates and save himself the effort.
"You also know the Art of Observing Fates?" Seeing Xiao Fan's slightly serious face, the skinny old Taoist's eyes flashed. However, he pretended that nothing was wrong and said with a smile.
Just like Xiao Fan knew that the skinny old Taoist was not ordinary, the skinny old Taoist could also feel that Xiao Fan was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, he would not be so polite to Xiao Fan to ask for the wine. He would have snatched it long ago.
However, the difference was that Xiao Fan had seen through the skinny old Taoist, but the skinny old Taoist only felt that Xiao Fan was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, so he could not see his real appearance.
Xiao Fan glanced at the skinny old Taoist and said unhurriedly, "I've heard a little about it!"
"Oh!" The skinny old Taoist laughed dryly and did not say anything. However, the light in his eyes flashed even more.
"If it's really as you say, and you really know how to observe fate, and are willing to observe fate for us, I can give you some Taibai Immortal Wine!" Xiao Fan did not care about the light in the old Daoist's eyes. Instead, he continued to speak slowly.
The skinny old Taoist suddenly shouted, "I want a wine jar, like the one behind you. A full wine jar!"
Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to wait for a few days!"
"A few days it is. Deal!" The skinny old Taoist was overjoyed. Then, he turned to look at Lin Yueru and the other three and asked, "Who wants to go first?"
