Good heavens, this Tribulation Jade Pendant... could it be the one Alcoholic Senior Brother gave me? Alcoholic Senior Brother couldn't find a partner, so he attended the Magpie Bridge Festival countless times. I don't know if he'd fulfilled some special condition, but Creation Gate eventually gave him a jade pendant. They said it could help him find a partner and had him wear it for an extended period. This Tribulation Jade Pendant... it seems like a kind of fate balancer. No matter if your romantic fate is good or bad, it intercepts it all, bringing you back to an average level.

Thinking of this, Wang Mu suddenly understood.

No wonder! Previously, in the Linglong Love Abyss, after Nanrong Biyou manifested the Divine Fish for me, so many blurry figures appeared. It must have been this Tribulation Jade Pendant's influence! Damn, it's a Supreme Treasure! If I wear this pendant, then tomorrow, when I look into the Reincarnation Mirror, no Taoist couples will appear at all! Brilliant! My heart is pounding! Even if Yan Qingwu and the others all show up, I won't have to be afraid anymore! Alcoholic Senior Brother, you're truly a godsend! Thank goodness I chose this jade pendant back then!

"I need this item…" the young man in black whispered. "If you can help me find this item, I will give you the Primordial Spirit Fragment."

Wang Mu was silent. Damn it. I forgot about this! This is a bit troublesome now... I need the Primordial Spirit Fragment, but I also need this jade pendant.

Wang Mu felt conflicted. The Primordial Spirit Fragment is currently the only material to repair the Green Frost Sword. With it, I can try using the Divine Ore to fix the Green Frost Sword. With the Green Frost Sword, even if I'm discovered, Yan Qingwu might spare my miserable life. But this way, if tomorrow, in front of the Rebirth Mirror, images of potential partners... were reflected... That would probably cause big trouble! Especially since Nanrong Biyou might still be around! Damn, I'm stuck in a dilemma.

"Actually, this item is quite easy for you to obtain," the young man in black whispered again.

"Why?"

"Because you are first on the Potential List," the young man explained. "You get an extra reward! With this extra reward, you can make one request. This way, you can choose to ask for a Tribulation Fate Pendant, and they will surely give it to you!"

Wang Mu was stunned. So that's how it is! This task is actually like this! No wonder this fellow requires high prestige and fame to befriend. Even if I hadn't chosen the Tribulation Fate Pendant from Alcoholic Senior Brother, I could have obtained this item directly by winning first place on the Potential List at the Magpie Bridge Festival. It's just that the latter is clearly more difficult and is a hidden factor.

"How do you know all this?" Wang Mu asked curiously.

"I asked a disciple of Creation Gate," the young man in black said helplessly. "The first time I attended the Magpie Bridge Festival, I was already in the Golden Core Realm, so I could no longer participate in the Potential List and thus couldn't obtain this item. Moreover, they don't advocate concealing romantic fate and wouldn't easily hand over this item to others. It's said to be reserved for cultivators afflicted by a solitary fate who have difficulty finding a Taoist couple. I couldn't even exchange for it…"

This person is actually in the Golden Core Realm! That makes sense... otherwise, he wouldn't have such high requirements for befriending him.

"Okay," Wang Mu pondered for a moment. "I'll try."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" The young man in black's face lit up with joy. "Please give me the item before the Rebirth Mirror activates tomorrow, and I'll immediately present you with the Primordial Spirit Fragment!"

The young man in black walked away jubilantly.

That night, many cultivators were meditating, and Xuanmingzi from Creation Gate was doing the same.

Wang Mu immediately went over to inquire.

"You want the Tribulation Fate Pendant?" Xuanmingzi asked in surprise. "Fellow Daoist, I observe a red star twinkling in your destiny. Your Qi Fortune in romance should be quite robust... Why do you need this item?"

Damn, can he see things like that too? Does everyone from Creation Gate have the Heavenly Eye or something?

"I have a friend..." Wang Mu coughed. "He's a textbook case of being afflicted by the Heavenly Slaughter Star; he's been unable to find a Taoist couple to this day. I wanted to obtain this pendant for him to conceal his romantic destiny."

Xuanmingzi frowned slightly, looking at Wang Mu. "You are first on the Potential List and indeed can make a request to our Creation Gate... but if you want this item, have you thought it through?"

Xuanmingzi continued, "Our Creation Gate also has many excellent spiritual pills and wondrous medicines, Magic Powers, and Spiritual Treasures that would benefit you at your current stage. Are you sure you just want this item?"

"Yes!" Wang Mu quickly nodded.

Xuanmingzi looked at Wang Mu with a strange expression. After a long moment of contemplation, he still nodded and said, "Alright."

After speaking, he vanished into thin air. A while later, he returned and handed a Tribulation Fate Pendant to Wang Mu.

Wang Mu saw it was indeed exactly like the one Alcoholic Senior Brother had given him.

"Our Creation Gate only possesses two of these," Xuanmingzi stated. "One was given to a supplicant in dire straits, and this one is for you. It has a simple seal on it; it won't take effect until the seal is broken. Furthermore, this item cannot be replicated or reforged. If damaged, it will be gone forever. Keep it safe. If your friend finds a Taoist couple, please return this item at the next Magpie Bridge Festival. Our Creation Gate can then restore your original reward."

"No problem," Wang Mu said.

There are actually only two of these things... It feels like losing even one would be a disaster!

Wang Mu hurriedly left. While it was still dark, he found the young man in black and handed the item to him.

"This is great, fantastic!" The young man in black was ecstatic. "Brother Wang, I'm definitely making friends with you!"

... Wang Mu thought.

"Oh, right, the Primordial Spirit Fragment!" The young man in black took out a brocade box, opened it, and said, "Brother Wang, this is the Primordial Spirit Fragment. It can restore a Magic Artifact to its original grade, but the Magic Artifact must be reforged for it to work. Hmm... it was originally a Supreme Treasure of my Sword Casting Sect. Unfortunately, while my Sword Casting Sect once possessed an extremely ingenious reforging method, this item is now completely useless to my Sword Casting Sect..."
