Li Fan Calculates the Heavenly Doctor

"With Fellow Daoist Baili here, these Cultivators are surely destined to make this trip in vain," Han Wuyou swept his gaze across the surroundings and said with a smile via sound transmission.

"I wouldn't say that. Besides the Cloud Water Diagram, there must be other Opportunities within this Cloud Water Heavenly Palace." Sikong Yi was quite calm, staring straight at the increasingly spectacular phenomenon in the sky.

"Even if there were greater Opportunities, I'm afraid they wouldn't compare to this Cloud Water Diagram," Han Wuyou shook his head and said.

Sikong Yi was somewhat surprised: "What do you mean by that?"

"Heh, the world only cares about those 100,000 Contribution Points, their eyes blinded by them. In reality, they overlook where the true Opportunity lies," Han Wuyou smiled slightly.

"What is the most important thing in cultivation? Background! Connections!" He repeated.

"In my opinion, the true value of this Cloud Water Diagram is that through this matter, one can befriend the Senior who posted the mission."

"To be able to casually offer a reward of 100,000 Contribution Points, this person must be at least at the Soul Transformation stage. If one could establish a friendship with him, even just exchanging a few words, it would make a world of difference for an ordinary Cultivator," Han Wuyou explained softly.

"If one could obtain a stable way to contact him, that would completely change one's destiny."

Upon hearing this, Sikong Yi was lost in thought.

After a moment, he nodded slowly.

While the three of them were chatting, a blue light swept across the Congyun Sea, and the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace officially opened.

Sikong Yi, Baili Chen, and Han Wuyou followed the numerous Cultivators and flew inside.

After some twists and turns, they passed Qin Tang's test without any major danger.

However, while venturing deeper, for some reason, the three of them attracted the attention of another team of Cultivators.

They ended up fighting in a muddle.

The other side had more people and their overall cultivation level was even higher.

In the end, Han Wuyou fell during the siege, dying with deep regret.

As for Sikong Yi, relying on the extremely strong life-saving ability of the Heaven Stealing Sun Swapping Art, he luckily survived.

Moving forward in a sorry state toward the location of Taiyi Hall in his memory, Sikong Yi felt cold inside.

"Truly, the world is unpredictable. A person like Fellow Daoist Han, who should have had a limitless future, actually died here so inexplicably."

Thinking of his heroic demeanor while speaking eloquently not long ago, Sikong Yi felt a sense of loss.

Although they had only known each other for a short while, Sikong Yi had already regarded him as a confidant.

It is a pity that heaven is jealous of talent!

Sikong Yi subconsciously touched a Storage Ring in his hand.

It was the one he had taken from Han Wuyou's corpse with quick eyes and fast hands after seeing him decapitated.

This Han Wuyou was indeed very wealthy; it was filled with various array diagrams and Magical Artifacts.

There were also about 10,000 Contribution Points, and most importantly, dozens of communication talismans.

"Connections, background…"

Sikong Yi repeated this in his heart, and the sadness in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Han, rest in peace. I will live on well for you!"

With Fellow Daoist Han's life as a sacrifice, the subsequent actions were indeed much smoother.

Having passed the test of the Insect Daoist, Sikong Yi endured the excruciating pain of ten thousand swords piercing his body and arrived at the square in front of Taiyi Hall.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent, and he was the only one there.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Sikong Yi controlled the Clone and activated the Sea Quelling Divine Sword.

"Baili Chen, the 165th generation Personal Disciple of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, requests an audience with the Taiyi Ancestral Master!"

He shouted loudly.

The ground trembled, and in the end, he successfully tricked the delirious Turtle-Snake Monster and obtained the Cloud Water Diagram.

After requesting to teleport out of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, Sikong Yi pretended to look normal and headed straight for Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

The journey was without danger, and he successfully returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

The Clone Baili Chen chose to submit the completed mission.

"Unable to verify the authenticity of the 'Cloud Water Diagram', please wait a moment."

The Tianxuan Mirror's response made Sikong Yi's heart skip a beat.

"Even the Tianxuan Mirror cannot verify it? Besides being a miniature landscape, what else is this Cloud Water Diagram for?" Before Sikong Yi could even think, the next prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror shook him to his core.

"The mission publisher… requests to visit your space. Do you accept?"

"It's here! It's here!" Sikong Yi was slightly stunned at first, then his heart began to beat violently.

His blood surged, and Han Wuyou's words from before his death could not help but resurface in his mind.

"The true Opportunity, connections!"

For a moment, numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Sikong Yi said in a deep voice: "Accept."

A moment later, an old man with gray hair and a kind face appeared before him.

Sikong Yi bowed stiffly, then trembling slightly, handed over the seven-colored model with both hands.

The old man took the Cloud Water Diagram, observed it carefully, and was filled with emotion.

His cloudy eyes kept turning, as if he were recalling something.

"What is the scene like inside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace now?" He asked.

Sikong Yi swallowed his saliva and began to answer, stuttering.

The old man did not seem to mind that Sikong Yi was so nervous.

He just listened to Sikong Yi's description, nodding slightly from time to time.

After Sikong Yi finished speaking, the Tianxuan Mirror space fell into a long silence again.

Looking at the kind old man standing still in front, seemingly immersed in the past.

Han Wuyou's words resurfaced in his mind once again.

"In today's Cultivation World, relying solely on being brave and fighting fiercely is useless. You must have a background and connections!"

His heart beat faster and faster, and in the end, he could not hold back.

Summoning his courage, he asked: "Senior, I wonder if there is anything else I can do for you?"

The Heavenly Doctor looked up and glanced slightly at Sikong Yi.

Sikong Yi felt his heart suddenly gripped, stopping its beat.

His whole body seemed to freeze, and his brain stopped thinking.

I don't know how long it had been when he heard the other party chuckle: "Very well, I happen to have a matter that needs you to handle."

"Run to the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace for me one more time, and just place this item there."

As he spoke, the old man took out a small white jade statue and handed it to Sikong Yi.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Yi was overjoyed.

But he dared not show the slightest bit on his face, and carefully took the statue.

Looking closely, the white jade statue did not seem to have anything special, it just looked exactly like the old man in front of him.

"I will definitely not fail your commission, Senior!" Sikong Yi put away the statue and said in a deep voice.

"As for the reward…" The old man stared at Sikong Yi for a while and said slowly: "Let it be 100,000 Contribution Points again!"

As he spoke, Sikong Yi received a notification from the Tianxuan Mirror that 200,000 Contribution Points had arrived.

Sikong Yi's mind suddenly went blank.

It was only long after the old man's figure disappeared from the Tianxuan Mirror that he recovered his ability to think.

"Just running a simple errand, and it's another 100,000 Contribution Points!"

"This Senior is likely far beyond the Soul Transformation stage!"

"Opportunity, a true Opportunity!"

"If I relied on myself, who knows how long it would take to save up 100,000 Contribution Points! Now, with just a word from a big shot, it's easily obtained."

"Fellow Daoist Han did not deceive me!"

In high spirits, Sikong Yi seemed to see his bright future and could not help but let out a long shout.

After calming down, he dared not neglect the gray-haired old man's instructions and headed straight for the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace again.

The statue in the Storage Ring emitted a white light and flew straight into the high sky.

It dissolved and disappeared.

Having completed the mission, Sikong Yi let out a long sigh of relief, saw that there was no one around, and quietly left.

Not long after, outside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, a hidden figure quietly appeared.

It was Li Fan.

"Heavenly Doctor…"

"Hmph!"

He watched Sikong Yi's retreating back and sneered in his heart.
