Chapter 383 Meeting or No (2/2)

The gloominess that was clouding her mind was suddenly dispelled. Her bier and the Purple Palace was immaculate. She finally understood a lot of things.

There was a moment of silence, before she said, ”The injury will require your origins of the five elements, in order to get rid of the power of Taisu.”

Taisu, Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, and Taichi were collectively known as the Innate Five Tais. The Innate Five Tais was none other than the five elements. As such, Shen Lian's origin of the five elements could impact this innate power of Taisu.

She then said, ”Mana can be recovered quickly with the consumption of Qi. However, if you use the energy from the Primordial Spirit, even if it uses up just a little, you will need a long time to recover. If you heal my injury, how long will it take for you to return to your peak?”

Shen Lian said, ”Short of three years, long of five.”

Zhao Xiaoyu said, ”Within the next three years, do you have any pressing matter?”

Shen Lian said, ”Yes.”

Zhao Xiaoyu said, ”Stop healing me.”

Because she now understood one thing - the reason why someone hurt her was to weaken Shen Lian, and the urgent matter was probably something of an imminent danger.

Shen Lian said, ”If I don't save you, you won't live past a year. Even if I possess Tongtian Skill, I can at most make you live for another two more years. Till then, even with the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir, you won't come back alive.”

Zhao Xiaoyu smiled, ”Shen Lian, do you really think I am afraid of death? Ever since I took over Nine Lotus Order from the honored master, what I am looking for is not immortality, but to be able to achieve something a lot of people can't - to become the most impressive successor of Nine Lotus Order. I am not sure if I have achieved it.”

Shen Lian said, ”You already achieved it, even if the honorable founder of Nine Lotus comes back to live, she won't be more outstanding than you.”

”This mountain, this water is so beautiful, but they are illusory. Life is like a dream, and there aren't many who are happy. If I have to die, so be it.” The edge of her lips curved upwards slightly, she smiled.

The acceptance in her eyes could move even Shen Lian. That was the gaze of the purest Daoist - there was no fear of death, for fate, and even the ancestors could not limit the potential.

”You won't die,” Shen Lian said every word with pauses.

Zhao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes gazed at Shen Lian and she replied, ”I know that Fairy Ziling's achievement in Taixu Strategy is above you, with the special characteristic of instant connection, she can transfer the energy source of the Primordial Spirit based on the Yin and Yang principle to you, which is then converted to the five elements. However, given Qing Xuan's terrible situation now, if Fairy Ziling has to take a break because of this, your situation will be worse. Furthermore, you have that urgent matter pending.”

Shen Lian spoke slowly, ”The grandmaster's condition is quite unusual right now, she can't do it.”

Zhao Xiaoyu said, ”What is the way?”

”Do you forget that Lu Jiuyuan exists in this world?” Shen Lian's face looked relaxed as he spoke slowly.

Zhao Xiaoyu said nothing.

”I will bring you to him. Whether it succeeds or not, let's just give it a try. I've been wanting to meet him for a long time, and I am sorry to say I will use you as an excuse,” Shen Lian spoke softly.

”Shen Lian, do you know that almost nobody of our generation is willing to see Lu Jiuyuan?”
