The Explanation Is Reasonable, but This System Has No Intention of Being Reasonable
"Sure."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yi nodded and said:
"The previous Five Elements Sacred Physique was named Xu Feng. He was incredibly powerful during his lifetime, having traveled to many places and collected an astonishing amount of resources. He was also a generous man, leaving behind several treasure troves known as the Five Elements Treasures, to provide opportunities for future generations."
"The Fortuitous Opportunity Token is a special item left behind by him. Holding the Fortuitous Opportunity Token allows one to find unexpected items in the Five Elements Treasures, or to enter places that are difficult for ordinary people to detect or find. These places often contain extremely valuable things."
Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.
The name of this "Fortuitous Opportunity Token" is indeed very fitting.
"The previous 'Fortuitous Opportunity Token' contained information about the Five Elements Sacred Physique Relics. Could we obtain Xu Feng's inheritance using this 'Fortuitous Opportunity Token'?"
Lu Changzhi asked.
If that's the case, it would make things much easier for me.
"You're half right."
Sun Yi shook his head. "At the ruins of the Five Elements Sacred Physique, the Fortuitous Opportunity Token can indeed be used. Xu Feng said this publicly before his death, so there's no doubt about it. However, obtaining Xu Feng's inheritance cannot be done with just the Fortuitous Opportunity Token."
Lu Changzhi nodded, not too surprised.
He was just trying to ask.
If it were truly that useful, how could Huang Pi have handed over this Fortuitous Opportunity Token so easily? He would surely have fabricated countless excuses to deceive Huangpi.
At this moment, Sun Yi continued:
"Fortuitous Opportunity Token can only help you find some opportunities, and the number of Fortuitous Opportunity Token is actually quite large. Compared to ordinary people, they can increase your chances, but not by much."
"As for obtaining Xu Feng's inheritance, or rather, the inheritance of the Five Elements Sacred Physique..."
Sun Yi shook his head and smiled, looking at Lu Changzhi:
Have you heard of any accounts of the Five Elements Holy Land?
"Oh?"
Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he smiled:
"I imagine it's not as much as what Pavilion Master Sun has; I'd like to hear the details."
"You are too modest."
Sun Yi smiled and got back to the main topic:
"The Five Elements Sacred Physique appears only once every long period of time, and in the same generation, only one person can possess the Five Elements Sacred Physique. According to historical records, the inheritance of the Five Elements Sacred Physique can only be obtained by the person who possesses the Five Elements Sacred Physique."
"Therefore, unless someone possesses the strength to break the restrictions set by Xu Feng, his legacy, though not yet revealed to the world, already has an owner."
After hearing this, Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow:
"So, this generation of the Five Elements Sacred Physique has already appeared?"
Sun Yi nodded:
"Since you reside here, you must be relatively unaware of outside attention. The current Five Elements Sacred Physique has indeed appeared in the world, named Xiang Li, born into the Xiang Clan. Both his parents possess considerable strength and background. Information regarding him will be sent to your residence later for your perusal."
Lu Changzhi nodded.
A strange feeling flashed through his mind.
"System, explain yourself! Is there only one, or did you create a fake one for me?"
He thought about it and it seemed there was indeed a reason why only one of these two could exist.
But that would clearly create a conflict between myself and this Xiang Li.
"Master, the idea that only one exists has some merit."
The system responded, but then abruptly changed its tone:
"But this system does not intend to be reasonable."
"Master's Five Elements Sacred Physique is indeed real, even more real than the real thing. Master can rest assured."
After he finished speaking, two loud "bang" sounds rang out in the system.
What's that noise?
Lu Changzhi examined it but found nothing unusual.
"Master, I just swore on it, patting my chest."
Lu Changzhi chuckled silently.
This system certainly has a lot of confidence about it.
Putting aside his thoughts, Lu Changzhi was about to ask some other questions when a sudden thought struck him.
At that moment, he looked outwards and used the system to investigate.
The next moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he stood up and said:
"Thank you for informing me of this, Pavilion Master Sun. Now, I'll return to my room to rest for a while."
A moment later, Lu Changzhi returned to the house.
Then, he took out the communication stone, held it in his hand, and transmitted the message:
"Ancestor, I'm currently on the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's flying boat. What are your plans?"
Unbeknownst to them, a group of the Saint King Realm elders had quietly gathered not far from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's flying boat.
He glanced around and counted: two, four, six, seven, eight.
There were eight people in total, all of whom were accomplices of the Saint King.
Judging from the figures and positions of these patriarchs, they all seemed to be planning a robbery.
"Changzhi? You're on the flying boat?"
The message was relayed through the stone, and a response came quickly.
"Did you run into some trouble inside?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:
"Don't worry, patriarch, I'm fine. I pulled some strings, and they just came to rob me."
"Hmm?" The old ancestor's voice sounded even more surprised:
"You're here to rob us too?"
Lu Changzhi was taken aback, feeling both amused and somewhat surprised:
"Is the Ancestor planning to rob the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's flying ship?"
Isn't this a bit astonishing?
Although the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's flying boat only had three Saint Kings, they still represented the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and had a very powerful background.
"We need to assess the situation over there first. If Huang Pi no longer possesses the Origin of Fire, then it's likely that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has obtained it. Then we can..."
As the old ancestor spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something, paused, and then asked:
"Changzhi, you just mentioned robbery, could it be that you're also after this Origin of Fire?"
"Yes," Lu Changzhi said.
"Were the ancestors also after this Origin of Fire?"
He had only one thought about this.
What a coincidence! It's such a coincidence!
However, considering the speed and number of the ancestor's appearances, Lu Changzhi had a certain feeling.
This matter seems to be more than just a coincidence.
Sure enough, after Lu Changzhi asked a few questions, he understood what had happened.
It turns out that Mu Fan had the idea of refining the Origin of Fire.
However, after some discussion, the Extreme Arms Holy Land did not agree to the matter and temporarily put it aside.
With more and more people coming from the outside world and the world becoming increasingly turbulent, Jiang Yuanyin also planned to withdraw at the right time.
Originally, it would have been enough to ask another elder to step in; there was no need for such a complicated process.
As luck would have it, Huang Pi was fortunate. Not only did he have a minor conflict with an old ancestor, but he was also heading towards the Land of the Four Directions.
And so, through a series of back-and-forth exchanges, the matter of Origin of Fire through Huang Pi came about.
"Was this really an arrangement by our ancestors?"
Lu Changzhi thought to himself, quite satisfied.
Originally, the Origin of Fire from the Extreme Arms Holy Land would have had very limited effect on him.
But now, thanks to the opportunity created by the ancestor, he not only obtained the Core of the Origin of Fire, but also Xu Feng's Fortuitous Opportunity Token.
This achieves multiple benefits at once.
At this moment, the ancestor's message returned again:
"Changzhi, your robbery just now probably wasn't completely clean, was it? When Huang Pi left, there were still clothes and a flying boat; it didn't look like it had been robbed."
Lu Changzhi was silent for a moment:
"Ancestor, I only robbed what was useful."
No wonder.
The ancestor said:
"We'll talk later. Since there's nothing to do here, let's go over there and help out."
As the voice faded, in Lu Changzhi's vision, the line pointing to where the ancestor was quickly extended in the direction Huang Pi had left.
