However, just as he was about to inquire further about the opportunity for immortality, he heard Li Wen sigh deeply with great regret.
"Friend Zhaixing, do you know what immortality means?"
"Countless people strive for immortality, yet none achieve it. Anyone who steps into the realm of immortality has truly entered a state of defying the heavens for their fate."
"Such great power is something that ordinary people cannot comprehend, truly stepping into the realm of immortality."
"Relying solely on a Nine-Turn Qianyuan Ring, I'm afraid that might not be quite enough!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhaixing awkwardly smiled and said, "Senior, I left in a hurry this time, and I really didn't bring anything valuable with me."
"Daoist Zhaixing still can't let go of those external possessions!"
"In two years' time, if you still haven't reached the realm of immortality, I'm afraid you will perish, your path extinguished, ultimately turning into a handful of yellow earth."
"After you pass away, who will benefit from your magical artifacts, elixirs, and spirit stones?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Zhaixing's eyes widened instantly: "You... how did you know?"
Could it be that the person in front of me is truly an extraordinary being, able to even calculate the time of my passing?
"Hehe, Tianji Pavilion, there's nothing I don't know!"
"Fellow Daoist, if you break through to the Longevity Realm, not to mention Heaven-grade treasures, even Semi-Saint treasures will be within your grasp."
"Advance further, and the sea and sky are boundless; retreat, and there will be no trace of your bones."
"What choice should be made... I believe Star-Picking Friend should know better than I do."
Shangguan Zhaixing's brows furrowed into a "川" shape.
Li Wen was right; he was indeed a member of the demonic cult. After his death, he would likely be reduced to ashes, let alone leaving behind a wisp of his soul to seize another body for reincarnation. It would be difficult even to leave a complete corpse.
Further ahead, the sky's the limit!
One step back and you'll be left with nothing but bones!
This sentence struck Shangguan Zhaixing's heart like a spell, making even his breathing grow heavier.
Finally, with a grand gesture, he filled the first floor of the Tianji Pavilion to the brim with countless spirit stones and elixirs.
Now that his chance for immortality had been shattered, rather than sitting idly by and waiting for death to claim him in two years, it would be better to take a gamble.
"Senior, besides spirit stones and elixirs, there are also two heavenly treasures and this Nine-Nine Return to True Art. I hope these can be exchanged for a chance at immortality from you."
[Shangguan Zhaixing's Entire Fortune]
[One million spirit stones, five hundred pills including Clear Heart Pills and Barrier-Breaking Pills, two Heaven-tier magical treasures, and the Nine-Nine Return to True Mystical Art.]
[Total of fifty-one thousand Heavenly Dao points]
[Would you like to proceed with the exchange?]
Fifty thousand points of Heavenly Dao value?
Goodness, truly worthy of being one of the Nine Elders of the Heavenly Fiend Sect, this is indeed quite wealthy!
[Stone tablet, help me find the opportunity that can assist Shangguan Zhaixing in breaking through to immortality.]
Ding
Ziwei Sacred Mountain: Five Million Heavenly Dao Points
[Baichao Mountain Range: Four Million Heavenly Dao Points]
Demon Cave: Four Million Heavenly Dao Points
Endless Abyss: Three Million Heavenly Dao Points
Li Wen's eyelids twitched wildly. Was the amount of heavenly value he thought was a lot not even enough to fill the gaps for the chance of immortality?
[Stone tablet, just search for the cheapest opportunity directly, I can't afford the expensive ones!]
[Inside the Two Yi Mountain, the battlefield of the Five Emperors holds thirty thousand points of Heavenly Dao.]
Li Wen sighed, finally, there was something he could afford.
With a grand gesture, along with the Nine-Nine Return to True Mystical Art, Li Wen exchanged everything for Heavenly Dao points.
Shangguan Zhaixing was instantly taken aback. Li Wen didn't have any spatial devices on him, yet he could raise his hand and collect so many supplies.
Truly, the actions of a master are unfathomable.
"This is it, I'll exchange it for the opportunity at Liangyi Mountain."
Looking at the fifty-one thousand Heavenly Dao points he had just acquired, more than half of which vanished in an instant, Li Wen felt a real pang of pain. After all that effort, he had only earned a transaction fee for himself.
It seems he will have to raise the price again in the future.
Inside the Liangyi Mountain lies the ancient battlefield of the Five Saints of the Northern Flame Dynasty. Although the Five Saints have long perished, the killing formations from the battle still remain. A secret key to break the formation is gifted.
In the next instant, a pale blue orb of light appeared on Li Wen's right hand. As the light dissipated, a palm-sized wooden box materialized in his hand.
"Seeing your sincerity, I shall bestow upon you a great fortune."
