Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 825: Chapter 488: The Gun of Causal Loop

The Old Taoist burst into laughter after listening and shook his head.

“Right or wrong, it’s exactly like when I was young!”

Logan didn’t understand what the Old Taoist meant by his words.

“If you’re willing, I can offer you an opportunity. What do you say, boy? I find you quite appealing.”

Logan really couldn’t fathom the purpose of the man before him coming here, and for a moment, he dared not reply.

He turned his head to glance at the City Lord inside the house, who seemed oblivious to the undercurrents between them, still sitting there composedly.

He even began to contact others as if he was preparing Spirit Stones for his own competition in the afternoon.

Just as Logan thought about how to attract the City Lord’s attention, the Old Taoist’s voice lost its playfulness and he spoke indifferently.

“No need to try to attract his notice. I have no Malice towards you. I truly think you have potential, boy. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you.”

Logan was silent for a few seconds. The strength of the person before him must be considerable if he was able to isolate them from the City Lord without any sign or sound. As for why he suddenly offered him an opportunity, Logan was still puzzled.

“Please speak, Senior.”

“No need to call me Senior; you may call me… Nineteen. Of course, if you decide to accept this opportunity, then you’ll have to call me Master.”@@novelbin@@

Nineteen laughed heartily and continued.

“I already foresee that the first place this time is not destined for you. You might find the Holy Land Inheritance ideal, but to me, it’s just a slightly stronger Inheritance, that’s all.”

“It’s not that you’re not allowed to strive for first place, but from what I see, that boy from the Sky Demon Sect seems to hold a different kind of Malice towards you. Be careful during the competition; there’s no telling what kind of tricks he might play in secret.”

Logan was well aware of what Nineteen said; the top three competitors likely wouldn’t make it easy for him.

“Perhaps you don’t know, this Inheritance is of the fire attribute category.”

Logan instantly fell silent. If it truly was a fire attribute, then certainly Snow Wood would be more suitable.

If Snow Wood could indeed secure this Inheritance, her strength might very well leap by two levels.

If it landed in his own hands, it probably wouldn’t be bad, but whether he could master it, that remained a question.

“You’re a cultivator who specializes in arrays, yet I’ve already seen that you have another Talent — the alchemy path.”

Logan’s eyes dropped slightly. He said nothing, but inwardly he was shocked.

Although he could also practice alchemy, he had rarely openly displayed such a Talent, yet this man named Nineteen saw it at a glance.

“Regardless, as long as you agree to accept this opportunity, I will find you after the competition. What you need to do is conserve some energy; then, you’ll understand what needs to be done.”

Nineteen paused briefly after speaking, glanced at Logan, and then spoke again with profound meaning.

“I know you don’t wish to concede, but indeed this Inheritance isn’t suited for you. If you can yield it to that girl from the Snow Sky Sect, she might even owe you a Favor.”

Nineteen slowly walked away and, from five or six steps away, tossed a small porcelain bottle towards Logan, who caught it swiftly, his face betraying his confusion.

“Have a good rest. I hope to see your choice in this afternoon’s competition, oh, and by the way, this time I’m betting on you to come in second. Don’t disappoint me.”

Logan’s hand tightened and then relaxed as the barrier slowly vanished. The City Lord inside the room only then sensed something was amiss at the door and turned his head to look.

“How did it go? Have you finished catching up with your old friend? I heard you talking about everyday matters, so I didn’t pay much attention. I’ve been helping you gather Spirit Stones.”

Logan was dumbfounded.

That certainly was an array, and that old man must be an even stronger Formation Master than him, otherwise, how could he arrange an array undetected and even confound the senses of a Strong One like the City Lord.

Logan was internally conflicted for a few seconds about whether to tell the City Lord about the old man, but soon decided against it.

What if the old man had come specifically for him, and by telling the City Lord, wouldn’t that implicate him as well?

Nevertheless, it seemed the old man did not harbor any Malice towards him.

Logan opened the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the scent of the Elixir filled the room instantly. The clear and pure Spiritual Power startled the City Lord, causing him to sit up straight, his face showing surprise.

“This is…!”

Although Logan had some understanding of alchemy, he had never come across a suitable Furnace Cauldron, and since he could always purchase Elixirs with Spirit Stones, he had neither the time nor energy for alchemy, so his knowledge of Alchemists wasn’t particularly extensive.

“This alchemy skill must belong to a supreme Grandmaster; this is an Elixir for the Saint Emperor’s Great Perfection!”

Being a Formation Master himself, Logan understood the difference between a supreme Grandmaster and a Grandmaster. He had not expected the old man he met for the first time to be able to gift an Elixir of the Saint Emperor’s Great Perfection level.

“I thought he was just an ordinary old man, but it seems your friends are indeed numerous!”

Logan chuckled awkwardly, uncertain of how to explain.

Should he say he’d also met the old man for the first time, and that man had simply given him this small porcelain bottle, containing an Elixir that countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures couldn’t trade for?
