83: It can be done, but it will cost extra!

"An Opportunity?"

Doggy was acting like an idiot, having no idea what Lin Chen was talking about.

Chu Nansheng was quick-witted and had already guessed what Lin Chen intended to do. She was overjoyed, and seeing Doggy still standing there like a fool, she grew frustrated and stepped forward to smack him on the head.

"Why did you hit me!"

Doggy howled in pain.

"Why haven't you thanked the Sect Master yet?"

"Thank him for what?"

"Because the Sect Master is going to give you an Opportunity!"

"He hasn't given it to me yet, so why should I thank him?"

"You, you, you...!"

Fairy Nansheng was about to be driven mad with anger.

After all these years, this dead dog was still so stupid!

He was simply beyond help!

Although he was very loyal and had once risked his life to save her... even though she was touched, Fairy Nansheng still couldn't help the urge to hit him every time she saw him!

"Exactly!"

"He hasn't given me anything, nor has he said what the Opportunity is!"

"If he doesn't give it to me when the time comes, wouldn't This Emperor suffer a great loss?"

"This Emperor isn't that stupid!"

"This Emperor is quite sharp!"

Doggy rambled on, clearly still angry that Lin Chen wanted him to be a gate-keeping Divine Beast.

"This stupid dog... is truly a rare find in this world!"

Lin Chen also felt a headache coming on. If it weren't for the fact that he was originally a Great Emperor and a life-and-death friend of Chu Nansheng, he would have kicked the fellow out of the mountain gates long ago.

"Take him away!"

"Quickly!"

Lin Chen waved his hand.

Only after Chu Nansheng dragged Doggy away did Lin Chen's headache subside... Misty Rain Tower.

The half-closed door creaked open, bringing in a gust of wind and rain. The Young Master instinctively tightened his brocade robe.

Sweet Potato frowned.

With a casual wave of her hand, the wind and rain dispersed, and a wave of warmth enveloped the Young Master, making him feel much better.

"Young Master, Sect Master Li has arrived."

Qingniao walked in, followed by a middle-aged man whose powerful aura was restrained; one couldn't tell his Realm or cultivation from his appearance alone.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Sect Master of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Li Yudao.

Upon entering, Li Yudao was momentarily stunned.

The Young Master before him seemed to be just a Mortal, with no fluctuations of spiritual power. His body was even extremely weak, as if he might die at any moment.

Behind him, a woman in red was attending to him.

This woman... was also in the Middle Stage of the Supreme Realm, and was only half a step away from entering the Late Stage of the Supreme Realm.

Someone served by two Middle Stage Supreme attendants must have an extraordinary status.

But... he did not associate this person with the Tower Master of the Misty Rain Tower.

Rumor had it that the Tower Master of the Misty Rain Tower was surnamed Yu, named Xuanji. He had reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Divination, possessing mysterious and unpredictable abilities, able to know the affairs of the world with a single thought.

Such a peerless figure could certainly not be a Mortal, let alone a sickly invalid.

In that case... who exactly was this young Young Master?

With such doubts, Li Yudao slightly cupped his hands in greeting, his sharp eyes narrowing as he carefully observed the Young Master. "This Poor Daoist is Li Yudao of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. I have come to seek an audience with the Tower Master of the Misty Rain Tower. May I ask who Your Excellency is..."

"Sect Master Li, please have a seat."

The Young Master did not stand up, only nodding in return. He then instructed, "Sweet Potato, serve the tea."

Sweet Potato brought the tea, the aroma curling upwards.

The Young Master took a sip of hot tea. Seeing that Li Yudao had sat down but hadn't touched the tea, his eyes still filled with inquiry.

He was slightly taken aback and smiled. "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yu Xuanji. Thanks to the kind regard of my brothers, they all call me Tower Master Yu."

Buzz—

Li Yudao's head buzzed, thinking he had misheard.

But with his level of cultivation and Realm, how could he have misheard?

He simply didn't want to believe it.

The legendary Tower Master of the Misty Rain Tower was actually such a young Young Master, and a sickly one with no cultivation at all... Who would believe it if this were told?

"Your Excellency, please do not joke."

Li Yudao tested him.

Yu Xuanji smiled, not intending to dwell on this issue. He tightened his brocade robe again and said calmly, "The Taiyi Immortal Sect suffered a great loss in the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm and wants the Misty Rain Tower to step in to kill the Wending Sect's Sect Master, Lin Chen, and reclaim the netherworld blood lotus..."

"I wonder if I am correct?"

Yu Xuanji's voice was very light and weak.

But in Li Yudao's ears, it sounded like a clap of thunder!

Li Yudao's pupils suddenly constricted. He scrutinized the young Young Master before him with an extremely grave expression. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "This matter has never been leaked to outsiders. This Sect Master only came to the Misty Rain Tower immediately after discussing it with the Old Ancestors."

"How did Your Excellency know?"

Yu Xuanji pointed to the sky and smiled faintly. "Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."

Li Yudao fell silent.

The person before him could predict things before they happened, which was truly terrifying. Even if he wasn't the Tower Master of the Misty Rain Tower, Yu Xuanji, he must be closely related to him.

Perhaps... he could make the decisions on this matter, and speaking to him was the same.

"Can it be done?"

After a moment of silence, Li Yudao asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Yu Xuanji said only one word, concise and to the point.

Li Yudao waited for a long time without any further explanation. Seeing Yu Xuanji looking at him with a faint smile, he suddenly understood. "Tower Master Yu, if you have something to say, please speak freely."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Yu Xuanji suddenly began to cough violently, with several streaks of bright red blood appearing on the embroidered handkerchief covering his mouth.

Just as Qingniao was about to step forward, Sweet Potato had already approached to give Yu Xuanji a fresh embroidered handkerchief. At the same time, she held out a bowl of tea for Yu Xuanji to rinse his mouth, her movements extremely practiced.

Meanwhile, Yu Xuanji's expression remained calm, as if he were long accustomed to this... This body was simply too frail.

Li Yudao frowned slightly but said nothing.

He waited quietly.

"It's an old ailment. I've made a fool of myself before Sect Master Li."

Shortly after, Yu Xuanji's color returned, and he smiled faintly.

"Your health is more important."

Li Yudao waved his hand, indicating it was no matter.

Only then did Yu Xuanji slowly speak, "It's not that this matter cannot be done, but rather that it is extremely difficult. Although the Wending Sect has only risen in the last two years, its Foundation is not shallow. The Sect Master, Lin Chen, is only at the Peak Mahayana Stage, but there are many experts within the Sect: two Great Emperors, six Supremes, and over a dozen in the Mahayana Realm..."

"There are also many affiliated forces, especially the Ancient Moon Tower..."

Li Yudao frowned and suddenly interrupted, "Wasn't it rumored that Lin Chen's cultivation was only at the Peak Integration Stage?"

"Yes, not long ago he was indeed at the Peak Integration Stage."

Yu Xuanji was not annoyed at being interrupted and explained, "I just don't know why, but he suddenly broke through to the Peak Mahayana Stage recently. Such a terrifying speed of Breakthrough is simply inconceivable..."

"I also once suspected that my Divination was wrong."

"But after several Divinations, the result was always the same."

"Although I don't know how he did it... it's not important."

"Mhm." Li Yudao nodded.

It really wasn't that important. In the face of a Great Emperor's absolute strength, whether one was at the Peak Mahayana Stage or the Peak Integration Stage made no fundamental difference.

"Continue."

Li Yudao made a "please" gesture.

"Alright..."

Yu Xuanji continued to analyze the current situation for Li Yudao.

From the Wending Sect's path to rise, to its strength, then to its style of conduct... and then to the fact that the netherworld blood lotus had already been taken for Alchemy, and if they didn't act now it would be too late. Even if they did act, trying to break into the other party's Sect base to seize the netherworld blood lotus was almost impossible... In short, everything he said implied that the difficulty of this matter was unimaginably high.

What exactly did this sickly Tower Master Yu mean?

After a long time, Li Yudao finally figured it out.

Yu Xuanji had said so much, but it could all be summarized in one sentence—

It can be done; the Misty Rain Tower can do it, but... it'll cost extra!
