Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1469 - 440: [Fate and Fortune]_2
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
Chen Yan stared at the wound for a couple of seconds, then stopped the spell halfway, cutting off the flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
He casually retrieved a battlefield first aid kit from the Storage Jade Pendant.
This was something he bought randomly during his travels a few days ago.
Using alcohol, he cleaned the wound, then applied the Hemostatic Powder, and finally stitched up the wound haphazardly.
Sprayed some anti-infection medicine.
Took out bandages to wrap the wound anew, and lastly, stuffed two capsules of Dragon Country-produced cefalexin into the unconscious Ah Kui’s mouth.
This would have to do.
This guy was part of a band of robbers, naturally not an honest person. Using Healing Technique was merely to save his life, or else the injury would have left him a dead man if left unattended.
But before leaving, he wouldn’t truly heal him—the kind of guy with untrustworthy heart skills, having nimble legs would pose a real trouble or provoke other mischiefs.
Limping, would be more reassuring.
After all this, Chen Yan stared at the unconscious Ah Kui for a while.
He could clearly see, within the creases of his brow, the clusters of despondent energy began to dissipate slowly.
Raising his head, looking at his destiny, under the Illusion Breaking Divine Techniques, Chen Yan easily captured the alteration in this guy’s fate energy.
As the clusters of despondent energy dissipated, a new destiny cycle gradually began to coalesce in its place.
According to what he learned from "Destiny Cycle," this new cycle belonged to what the book described
as "surviving against the odds."
Chen Yan looked at this emerging cycle, which bit by bit condensed under his observation, suddenly a bizarre thought flashed through his mind.
This thought, he had never had before, but at this moment, as soon as it was born, seemed to proliferate under some sort of instinctual drive.
Perhaps... worth a try?
Chen Yan’s eyes gleamed with a strange light; he gently reached out his right hand, lightly extending his thumb and index finger.
He didn’t know what spell to use; he had never learned such a spell or technique.
It was simply like this, driven by an instinct — perhaps not instinct, but due to the long observation and contemplation after glimpsing the Heavenly Dao rules in the Celestial Human Realm, bringing him some new kind of hypothesis or insight.
His fingers, trace by trace of Primordial Qi, as he imagined in his heart, and seemingly in rules that formed autonomously without needing thought, condensed at his fingertips.
Finally...
Chen Yan exhaled gently.
His eyes widened, watching his fingertips.
"So it is possible..."
Between Chen Yan’s thumb and index finger, it seemed as though he softly pinched a thread of "existence."
This was the strand of fate energy!
Under the pull of his fingers, it was actually extracted from Ah Kui’s body!!
As this thread of "surviving against the odds" fate was drawn from his body, the unconscious Ah Kui seemed to sense something, his body trembled slightly, and he let out a faint moan.
Under Chen Yan’s gaze, he clearly saw that on Ah Kui’s face and between his brows, that shred of despondent energy, little by little, began to re-coalesce!
"Interesting!"
Chen Yan’s heart pounded wildly, as if he had discovered a whole new world!
He... could alter others’ fate and destinies!!
He stared at Ah Kui, this time the gaze lasted longer, a full minute later, he finally sighed softly, and casually returned the thread of "surviving against the odds" back into Ah Kui’s body.
Watching the despondent qi dissipate once again from the guy, Chen Yan couldn’t keep the smile off his lips!
Modifying destiny, altering fate!
With excitement in his heart, Chen Yan stood up subconsciously.
But as he stood, his body swayed instinctively.
Only now, engrossed in excitement, did Chen Yan realize that his Primordial Qi reserve in his body had shockingly depleted by a tenth!
As though under the mysterious guidance of some instinct, he unknowingly grasped the ability to alter fate energy, but just performing this one "alteration" exhausted a tenth of his Primordial Qi.
The ability is significant, but the depletion is not small either!
·
Chen Yan took a deep breath, and as he inhaled, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi joyfully surged toward him, replenishing the tenth of his Primordial Qi reserve in no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
He looked at the unconscious Ah Kui and chuckled.
It’s thanks to your fortune that I grasped this newfound ability—having said that, it makes me reluctant to finish off this guy.

Supper was prepared by the boy.
He sliced the beef Chen Yan handed him, then assembled an iron grill, on which he cooked the beef thoroughly, seasoning it with his own mixture of spices as he grilled.
And the flour and milk Chen Yan gave him, he surprisingly used to make a kind of "milk pudding."
This thing seems to be a local recipe, Chen Yan hasn’t had it before. Yet, after trying a bite, the taste was unexpectedly good.
Chen Yan gave the boy a thumbs up.
At dinner, through translation software on his phone, Chen Yan roughly learned some details about the boy.
His name, like the local customs here, was too lengthy, but abbreviated, it’s called Haid.
In fact, Chen Yan wasn’t sure whether this pronunciation was correct or not, as long as he called him that, the boy responded.
