第四百八十三章 李凡算天医

"Thanks to Brother Bai Li, these cultivators will likely have wasted their time," Han Wuxiu scanned his surroundings and said with a smile through mental communication.

"It's not entirely so; besides the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll, there must be other opportunities within this Cloud Water Heavenly Palace," Si Kong Yi remained calm, staring intently at the increasingly spectacular phenomena in the sky.

"Even if it is a great opportunity, it probably can't compare to the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll," Han Wuxiu shook his head.

Si Kong Yi was surprised: "How so?"

"Haha, people only care about those 100,000 contribution points and are blinded by them. They overlook the true opportunities," Han Wuxiu smiled slightly.

"What is most important in cultivation? Background! Connections!" he repeated.

"In my view, the true value of the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll lies in being able to make friends with the senior who issued this task."

"Someone willing to offer 100,000 contribution points as a reward must be at least an Essence Transformation cultivator. If we can establish a connection and just talk to him, it would make a huge difference for ordinary cultivators," Han Wuxiu explained softly.

"If we could secure a stable way to contact him, that would completely change our fate."

Si Kong Yi thought deeply after hearing this and nodded slowly after a moment.

As the three chatted idly, a blue light swept across the Cunyun Sea, officially opening the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace. Si Kong Yi, Bai Li, and Han Wuxiu followed many other cultivators into it.

After some trials, they managed to pass through Qin Tang's test without much trouble. However, as they delved deeper, for unknown reasons, another group of cultivators noticed them and a fight broke out.

The opposing side was numerous and more powerful overall. In the end, Han Wuxiu fell in battle, his death unjustified.

Si Kong Yi survived by relying on the strong survival abilities of "The Stealing Heaven Changing Sun Technique," managing to escape despite the odds.

With Han Wuxiu's life as a sacrifice, their next actions went much more smoothly. After passing the test from Insect Path People, Si Kong Yi endured the excruciating pain and arrived at the square in front of Taiyi Hall.

The area was silent, with only him present. Si Kong Yi suppressed his excitement and used "The Calming Sea Divine Sword" to manifest a clone.

"I am the 165th direct disciple of Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, Bai Li, seeking audience with Grandmaster Taiyi!" he shouted loudly.

The ground trembled as he successfully tricked the confused龟蛇 monster into giving him the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll. After requesting to be teleported out, Si Kong Yi pretended to remain calm and headed straight for Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

With no major incidents, he returned safely to the Heavenly Mirror.

Clone Bai Li chose to submit his task completion.

"Unable to verify authenticity of the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll, please wait."

Si Kong Yi's heart skipped a beat at the Heavenly Mirror's response. "Even the Heavenly Mirror cannot distinguish it? Aside from the miniature landscape, what else can this diagram do?" Before he could think further, the next prompt from the Heavenly Mirror sent his heart racing.

"Task issuer... requests to visit your space, shall I accept?"

"Coming! Coming!" Si Kong Yi was initially stunned but then his heart pounded violently. Memories of Han Wuxiu's words resurfaced in his mind.

"The true opportunity, background!"

His thoughts raced as he took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will accept."

A few moments later, an elderly man with white hair appeared before him, looking kind and benevolent.

Si Kong Yi bowed respectfully and nervously handed over the colorful model. The old man carefully examined the Cloud Water Diagram Scroll, his eyes filled with emotion as he seemed to recall something.

"How is it in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace now?" he asked.

Si Kong Yi swallowed hard and stammered out an answer.

The old man paid no mind to Si Kong Yi's nervousness, nodding occasionally as he listened to his description.

After Si Kong Yi finished speaking, there was a long silence in the Heavenly Mirror space.

Looking at the elderly figure standing still, lost in the past, Han Wuxiu's words echoed in his mind.

"In today’s cultivation world, relying on courage alone is useless. You need background and connections!"

His heart raced faster until he finally couldn't hold it back.

With a bold voice, he asked: "Senior, do you have any other tasks for me to complete?"

The old man looked up at Si Kong Yi.

Si Kong Yi felt his heart stop as if being squeezed. His entire body seemed frozen, and his mind stopped thinking.

After an unknown duration, the old man chuckled lightly: "Alright, I also need something from you."

"Place this item in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace," he said, handing over a small white jade carving to Si Kong Yi.

Si Kong Yi's heart leaped with joy but kept a composed face as he carefully took the carving. Upon closer inspection, it seemed ordinary, resembling the old man before him.

"I will not disappoint you!" Si Kong Yi put away the carving and said firmly.

"As for compensation..." the old man stared at Si Kong Yi for a while before saying slowly: "Ten thousand contribution points!"

Si Kong Yi received a notification of 200,000 contribution points in his Heavenly Mirror. His mind went blank.

Only after the old man's figure disappeared from the mirror did he regain his thoughts.

"Simply running an errand and receiving ten thousand contribution points!"

"This senior is likely not just at the Essence Transformation stage!"

"The true opportunity! If I relied on myself, who knows how long it would take to save up for ten thousand contribution points! Now a great figure's word gets me everything."

"Han Brother did not deceive me!"

Excited by his future prospects, Si Kong Yi let out a long cry. After calming down, he didn't waste any time and headed back to the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

A white light emitted from the carving in his storage ring as it flew directly into the sky and dissolved.

Breathing a sigh of relief after completing the task, Si Kong Yi quietly left when no one was around.

Not long after, outside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, a hidden figure appeared. It was Bai Li.

"Doctor Tian..."

"Hmph!"

He watched Si Kong Yi's retreating back with a sneer in his heart.
