Hu Liwu showed no displeasure when Chen Lin refused.
He flicked his hand.
Three bottles of variegated crystal marrow appeared.
"Everything in this world has a price. I heard you were short of variegated crystal marrow, Fellow Daoist Chen. I happen to have three bottles. Would these persuade you to change your mind?"
Chen Lin sighed inwardly.
Even a hero could be brought low by a single missing coin. Given his usual way of doing things, he would never have wanted to get involved in something like this. Besides, tampering with another person's destiny could easily provoke a backlash.
But he truly needed variegated crystal marrow now.
"Do you think it's too little, Fellow Daoist Chen, or do you have some concerns?"
Seeing Chen Lin hesitate, Hu Liwu continued, "If it's too little, I can offer you other compensation after we leave this place."
"If you have concerns, rest assured. This isn't anything significant enough to attract Old Man Tianji's attention. You won't need to expend much origin essence, either. Just make a slight change to my destiny trajectory. The backlash won't be very strong."
"Are you certain you want to change it?"
Chen Lin's voice was low.
Without waiting for an answer, he immediately added, "There's something I must warn you about. With my current abilities, I can't precisely control the outcome when changing another person's destiny. Not only is the time node uncertain, I can't determine whether the change will be good or bad. If it brings you misfortune, don't blame me."
Hu Liwu's expression stiffened.
A long while passed.
He asked tentatively, "The time node doesn't matter, but can you really not influence whether the destiny trajectory changes for better or worse? As far as I know, Destiny Practitioners can alter other people's qi luck."
