Chapter 594 - 186: Life Master Great Angel
Li Xin didn’t interrupt, feeling like this Old Bai was talking to himself, but he still gained something; the pastry he treated, and indeed, Avogadro had a special significance."Young friend is different from most young people, lacking curiosity. Don’t you want to know who my friend is?" asked White Dragon.
"If you want to say it, you’ll naturally say it," Li Xin replied.
"His surname is Fang, he was once an Angel on the Path of Life Master, and I suspect he’s a Great Angel now," White Dragon said with some regret, "Everyone’s fate is different. The Path of Life Master is very perilous, each step is thrilling, but he managed to tread more steadily than I ever did. Alas."
Surname Fang?
Old Fang? Great Angel?
"Are you talking about an old man who’s career is fortune-telling and has an injured right leg?" Li Xin asked.
"Is he still in Hedan?" White Dragon asked with some regret, and sadness showed in his eyes.
"I do have a friend in Hedan known as Old Fang, but whether he’s the one you’re talking about, I don’t know," Li Xin said, aware that Old Fang must be extraordinary since he could accurately locate him and dare to interfere in such matters, but he didn’t dare conclude he was a Great Angel.
"I know who you’re talking about; he knows I’ll meet you. That kind of reckless career is probably quite painful. Years ago we had some history, so there’s still Karmic Force, which I felt on you," White Dragon said, "He can still roam outside, which suggests he’s truly become a Great Angel."
Great Angel?
Initially thought Dragon Mother was the limit, but Lirong Inn truly hides tigers and dragons.
"Cultivators on the Path of Life Master are the most cunning and conniving, engaging in opportunistic schemes. They naturally gravitate towards people with good fortunes, lingering around for omens, and when the other’s luck dissipates, they switch places and people. It seems he has gained much from you, but it’s unfortunate," White Dragon sighed.
If that person wasn’t Lu Shuai but Li Xin, his gain would have been much greater; someone interfered in this.
Yet that’s fate, the slightest difference leads to a thousand miles of error, incomplete success indeed.
Li Xin didn’t know what to say; if Old Fang hadn’t arrived in time, his copied ability of the Greedy Angel would have vanished, and he’d have been buried alive. Even if Old Fang gained something, it was deserved.
"Why hasn’t Old Fang returned to Dragon Capital?" Li Xin suddenly asked.
"He doesn’t dare," White Dragon said, "It’s nothing to do with you; his absence is better, lessens trouble. Be extremely cautious when dealing with Life Masters, the older they are, the more dangerous."
Li Xin could only smile; this elder was old enough, too. Sister Kathy warned him about the Great Alchemist, and the Great Alchemist advised caution with Life Master Great Angel. It felt like there were no good people on the hidden paths.
"Was the pastry incident planned by you and Shadow Owl?" Li Xin asked.
"You’re quite shrewd, but no, I’ve long stopped meddling with outside affairs. However, this time was indeed quite intriguing; I was simply the last participant, hoping to gain the Wish Power to heal that child. Alas, greed should not plague a person," White Dragon sighed.
"Healing the pastry and gaining Wish Power—isn’t that a win-win?" Li Xin asked curiously.
White Dragon gave a bitter smile, "You’ll understand in time. Bai Peng is the most fortunate among our Bai Family; I didn’t let him pursue the path of Alchemist. The universal path is hypocritical but indeed aligns with the hidden laws of the Sixth Epoch."
"What hidden laws are you referring to?"
"What laws do you know?" White Dragon countered.
"An elder once told me, when you confirm your path, you’re on someone else’s path," Li Xin said, "even the universal path belongs to others."
"Hmph, pretentious; who isn’t on someone else’s path," White Dragon replied indifferently, "Gains have their costs—that’s the eternal rule."
Li Xin initially thought his dice were extraordinary and perhaps signaled a new path, but the dice weren’t the Original Embryo, how could there be a new path? According to that angel, he too was on someone else’s path.
"According to your statement, doesn’t that mean no one can forge a new path?" Li Xin asked.
"There are, there must be," White Dragon smiled, looking at Li Xin, "To forge your path, first clarify the direction of the path you’re on. Have you clarified yours?"
Li Xin was silent; he felt he was a Law Enforcer but significantly different from other Law Enforcers. Of course, it could be a unique Enforcer path, even an ancient one since the dice were very old.
"A Divine Relic cannot dictate your chosen path, it may influence but not decide. The road is under your feet; only you can decide how to walk it. However, mortals find it difficult to escape the shackles of thought," White Dragon said.
"Is the Celestial Principle School a new path?" Li Xin asked.
"It is, but Celestial Principle School practitioners essentially remain Preachers; their path has just reached Demigod and its future remains uncertain," White Dragon said and suddenly coughed violently, calming down after drinking some water.
"I’ve talked quite a lot today," White Dragon took out a delicately crafted magic potion bottle from his pocket, "This is the Divine Soul Pill I crafted. Consuming it at the Three Lives to Four Lives transition may grant divinity; at the minimal level, you’ll become a Preparatory Angel. I have three pills, one was given to Yan Tianguang, who advanced as a Preparatory Angel, one is kept for Bai Peng, and this one I want to trade with you."
Looking at the ancient potion bottle, Mr. Cancer at the Round Table Conference mentioned the risks of divinity, certainly with his considerations.
"What do you need me to do, Elder?" Li Xin asked.
"Help Bai Peng advance to Four Lives."
"You overestimate me, Elder; I don’t possess such capability," Li Xin said, "Of course, Bai Peng is my friend; if there’s anything I can help with, I won’t refuse. However, this potion is too precious; I can’t accept a reward unearned."
Staring at Li Xin, White Dragon didn’t expect Li Xin would refuse, "Do you know this potion’s value?"
Li Xin chuckled; he disliked taking medicine in both lives.
"I’ll keep this potion; if you change your mind, come see me," White Dragon said, putting the potion away.
"Thank you for the guidance today, Elder," Li Xin said.
White Dragon, fatigued, waved his hand, "Go now."
Li Xin bowed and left the room.
Outside, Bai Peng had been waiting; seeing Li Xin exit, he waved, "What did the ancestor say?"
"Just chatting, mentioned gifting me a Divine Soul Pill," Li Xin said.
"What? Divine Soul Pill???" Bai Peng’s eyes widened, "No way, are you secretly one of our family?"
Li Xin rolled his eyes, Bai Peng chuckled, "This thing is incredibly precious; the Yan Family paid a huge price to exchange for one with Ancestor, which is why Yan Tianguang advanced so quickly to Preparatory Angel. Ancestor has one ready for me too, but it’s not time yet. Potion consumption requires careful timing, otherwise, much of its efficacy would be wasted."
"I refused," Li Xin said.
