Chapter 27 – Someone is asking you for an opportunity
When Wu Duantian arrived at the scene with his personal disciple, the battle had long since ended.
The celestial phenomena had vanished, the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy had dissipated, and the senior was nowhere to be seen.
"There are traces of demonic energy left behind. Could it be that the senior was fighting a demonic cultivator?"
He surveyed the surroundings and soon discovered a massive crater, tens of meters wide. As he approached, he saw that the crater was about ten meters deep, filled with molten lava formed from the high-temperature melting of rocks, with arcs of electricity flickering within.
There was still a faint demonic energy lingering in the crater.
But the owner of the demonic energy had disappeared, whether dead without a trace or having fled.
"To wield such terrifying lightning... Tsk tsk, this senior's power is truly unfathomable." Wu Duantian maintained the calm demeanor of a Divine Transformation stage cultivator on the surface, but inwardly he was shocked. A Divine Transformation cultivator could only initially guide the forces of heaven and earth, but to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao like this senior was something he could never achieve.
What level of power did that senior possess?
However, since they were fighting a demonic cultivator, they must be a righteous cultivator.
That was a reassuring piece of information.
"Master, look, there seems to be a woman in that small house."
Zhao Lingtian pointed to the small house by the stream at the foot of the mountain.
Wu Duantian glanced over, and with the eyesight of a Divine Transformation cultivator, he could see Li Qingran in the small house from afar. He let out a soft "hmm": "Isn't that the female disciple from Crimson Sky Peak who deliberately injured Sixth Junior Sister? What's her name, Li Qingran? What's she doing here?"
"Yes, that's Li Qingran." Zhao Lingtian also saw clearly and sneered disdainfully, "The sect competition was supposed to stop at a point, but she insisted on settling personal grudges. Being expelled from Crimson Sky Peak and the sect was deserved. I heard Zhang Hanxiao sent her back to the mundane world? She probably ran back, thinking she could return to our Azure Cloud Sect this way."
"Don't waste time on irrelevant people." Wu Duantian withdrew his gaze. A female disciple whose cultivation had been abolished was not worth his or Zhao Lingtian's attention.
Li Qingran was lucky that the aftermath of the battle between two Great Cultivators didn't kill her.
The crater was only three to four hundred meters from the small house. If it were a hundred meters closer, the residual lightning alone would have been enough for Li Qingran to handle.
As for whether the mysterious senior had any connection with Li Qingran, Wu Duantian never considered it. The difference in their statuses was like heaven and earth, and he didn't think the senior who could refine a Divine Pill would care about a mere ant.
"Zhao Lingtian, the senior might still be nearby." Wu Duantian instructed his disciple, "After a great battle, the senior will surely find a secluded place nearby to regulate his breath. You should earnestly seek his help; he might be able to heal your dantian."
"Yes, Sect Master." Zhao Lingtian was full of confidence.
He came from a noble background, being a prince of a great secular nation, and had an extremely high aptitude for cultivation, with a very rare Blazing Fire Spiritual Root. Before his dantian was shattered, it was rated as fourth grade. Coupled with his handsome appearance and outstanding talent, anyone who saw him would admire his potential.
Cultivation emphasizes fate and karma, especially for those reclusive experts stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. When they emerge, they travel around, seeking opportunities and are not averse to forming good karma and accumulating merit, which can help them break through bottlenecks and even increase their success rate in tribulation crossing.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
"Senior!" Zhao Lingtian stepped forward, cupped his hands respectfully towards the crater, and squeezed out a few tears, earnestly pleading, "Junior Zhao Lingtian, personal disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. I have long admired you since witnessing your refinement of a Divine Pill and your defeat of the Demon Sect cultivator.
My dantian was shattered by a Demon Sect cultivator, and I harbor immense hatred for demonic cultivators...
I dare to ask for a prescription to restore my dantian. Could you please guide me, Senior?
If my dantian can be restored, I will be eternally grateful and willing to serve you tirelessly."
Hearing this, Wu Duantian felt a twinge of jealousy.
These people bullied his girlfriend and then came to him for an opportunity?
The game interface conveniently popped up a Sound Transmission Talisman dialogue box.
[First time triggering the opportunity-giving plot, using the Sound Transmission Talisman is free this time. You can grant an opportunity to other cultivators, which might bring unpredictable effects to your virtual girlfriend 'Li Qingran'. The item to be given can be selected from the backpack. (The impact may be positive or negative, please consider carefully.)]
Seeing this prompt, Chen Huaian calmed down.
"What do they want?"
[Cultivator Zhao Lingtian is asking you for a Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill, will you give it?]
"What the heck?"
"Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill? This Beyond wants an opportunity? Damn it, that's asking for my life!" Chen Huaian opened the game backpack, pulled out a bunch of Thunderfire Talismans, and aimed them at Wu Duantian and Zhao Lingtian: "Can I strike these two bastards dead?"
[Wu Duantian is a late Divine Transformation stage cultivator, do you wish to engage in battle?]
It seemed the system didn't have a pay-to-win option to crush these NPCs.
"Emmm, forget it." Chen Huaian calmed down again.
He knew that with his current possessions, he couldn't kill a Divine Transformation stage cultivator.
If he failed to kill them, it would be awkward, and he feared it might affect Li Qingran.
In that case, he decided to maintain the demeanor of a mysterious expert.
Chen Huaian squinted his eyes, held down the Sound Transmission Talisman, and took a deep breath:
"Screw you****, you ** don't even look at yourselves, asking me for an opportunity, damn it, do you think you're worthy? Screw you *** (1000 words omitted here)"
In the Azure Cloud Realm.
A gust of wind surged in front of Wu Duantian and Zhao Lingtian, making the grass and trees bow low.
Their eyes lit up, clearly sensing the spiritual fluctuation in the wind.
"Good, good, good, the senior is finally responding!" Wu Duantian thought to himself.
"My dantian, my dantian is finally saved!" Zhao Lingtian couldn't contain his excitement, clenching his fists.
They perked up their ears, listening intently, afraid to miss a single word.
But in the wind, only one word came, a roar.
"Scram——!!!!!!!"
...
Inside the small house.
Li Qingran, sitting by the bed, first widened her eyes in surprise.
Then she couldn't hold back any longer, her eyebrows arched, and she covered her mouth:
"Pfft~"
