Lu Sizhan shook his head helplessly, "I haven't changed. I just saw something."
"What is it?"
Lu Sizhan's expression was solemn, "Is it easy to help others enter Bitter Adversity?"
Lu Siyu said, "Of course not. That's Bitter Adversity, not other realms. Some people can't even enter Bitter Adversity, such as you."
"Yes, then why can Lu Yin help me?"
Lu Siyu was curious, "I want to know too."
Lu Sizhan looked at Lu Siyu, "Does Upstanding Lotus Ruler value him?"
Lu Siyu nodded.
"How much?"
Lu Siyu pursed her lips. How much?
So much so that he wanted to marry the seven fairies to the thief. Of course, she couldn't say that out loud.
"I think it's very important. Very important."
"Why?"
"How would I know?"
Lu Siyu rolled her eyes. Suddenly, her expression changed and she looked at Lu Sizhan. Lu Sizhan also looked at her. The two looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"No, that's impossible," Lu Siyu stuttered.
Lu Sizhan took a deep breath, "Nothing is impossible. I don't know how much Upstanding Lotus Ruler values this person, but the more important he is, the higher the possibility."
Then wasn't it absolutely certain?
Lu Siyu was speechless.
That thief had comprehended karma?
Impossible. No one had comprehended karma at such a young age except for Upstanding Lotus Ruler. Impossible.
Although she didn't want to believe it, Lu Siyu instinctively felt that it was possible because she knew that Lu Yin came from the three universes. Why did he suddenly appear in Yehai?
Why did Master value him so much?
It was as if Master wanted to take him as a disciple and marry the sisters to him. Why didn't Master blame him when he refused to marry the sisters? Was it because of fate?
Master did value fate, but there was no need to exaggerate so much.
Moreover, whether or not he married the seven fairies was up to that thief.
If this news spread, the entire Jiuxiao Universe would be shaken.
But that thief didn't care. Even if they didn't want to admit it, Lu Siyu and the seven fairies admired Lu Yin's will and determination.
It wasn't impossible for someone like him to comprehend karma.
At this moment, Lu Yin's figure on the sword board overlapped with the confidence of helping Lu Sizhan enter Bitter Adversity. Lu Siyu recalled what happened in Yehai and felt a chill down her back.
If that person really understood karma strength, the Continent of the Nine Clouds would change.
Lu Sizhan patted Lu Siyu's head and said, "Little girl, I can't protect you forever. Although this man is unscrupulous in his actions, he has principles and a bottom line. Such a person may not be a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person. If I leave you in his care, I can rest assured."
Lu Siyu bit her lip. "I don't want it."
Lu Sizhan smiled, "Think about it yourself. If you're willing, I'll definitely find a way to make it happen."
Lu Siyu looked in the direction of Lu Yin's courtyard. Of course, she wasn't willing; this little thief was annoying no matter how she looked at him. She was in charge of her own life, so why did she have to marry him just because he was strong?
Moreover, even if he was willing, his master would not be able to do anything about it. Hmph, at least this little thief was tactful enough to reject his master.
On the other side, Lu Yin rolled Possession and entered the Time Stop Space. He looked at the scab in his hand, and the karmic spiral howled out as it entangled the scab.
As the scab shattered, waves of karma shot up into the sky and fused with Lu Yin's Karma Heavenly Dao.
Lu Yin let out a long breath; this was good stuff.
If a karma brick was equivalent to a hundred years of karma for an ordinary person, then this scab was equivalent to the capacity of nearly ten million karma bricks. In other words, with his speed of digging through karma bricks, this scab could save him a year's worth of time.
With this, there was no need to dig through karma bricks. It was tiring and a waste of time.
However, there shouldn't be much of it.
Ten million karma bricks seemed like a lot, but how much karma could a single brick contain? Compared to the amount he had spent on the Eternal Realm astral beast, it was much, much less.
If he wanted to make up for it, the number of scabs would be ridiculous. If he used karma bricks to make up for it, it would be impossible to just dig through them.
He had been thinking of other methods, but unfortunately, he couldn't try anything in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to stealing someone's power right under the nose of the Azure Lotus Ruler.
Lu Yin had absorbed four scabs in total, but to be honest, it still wasn't enough to help Lu Sizhan consume karma.
As expected, the fastest way to increase karma was to suppress powerhouses into the General Platform Hell.
If he could throw all the powerhouses in the Continent of the Nine Clouds into the General Platform Hell, Lu Yin didn't dare imagine how much karma he would gain.
However, what did Lu Sizhan mean by giving him a scab?
It seemed that he had guessed something.
Lu Yin had already been tested by the Azure Lotus Ruler, so he didn't need a scab. Yet, he still gave him one. Was he testing him? Had he guessed that Lu Yin had comprehended karma?
It didn't matter. Many people in the Continent of the Nine Clouds knew about this.
Yue Ya, Chaoyi, Ming Zhuo, and the others all knew. There was also the Ninth Spirit, but he didn't know where she was. If she returned to the Continent of the Nine Clouds, Dan Xiong would know as well.
It would be best to complete the Seven Fairies' conditions before that happened. Otherwise, someone might come looking for trouble.
…
The next day, a maid reported that someone had come to visit Lu Yin.
Lu Yin saw that it was Elder Le, and Lu Siyu was there as well.
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Lu Siyu had come as well.
"Greetings, sir." Elder Le was very respectful to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin raised a hand. "No need to be so formal. Why are you looking for me?"
Elder Le took out a scented pouch. "My lady asked me to bring this to you."
Lu Yin glanced at Lu Siyu.
Lu Siyu rolled her eyes. Her attitude didn't change because she guessed that Lu Yin had comprehended karma. She was just like that, doing whatever she wanted.
"Your lady is one of the Seven Fairies?"
"Yes," Elder Le replied.
Lu Yin understood. "So you saw my relationship with the Donglin Sword Sect, but didn't point it out. Instead, you went straight to the tavern."
Elder Le smiled. "Not all of them. The Donglin Sword Sect invited me here to find you, sir. As for your relationship with the Donglin Sword Sect, it's not my place to guess, and I won't say much. These are the rules of the Myriad Valley."
Lu Yin took the scented pouch and looked at Lu Siyu. "You were so flustered back then."
Lu Siyu curled her lips. "I was really worried that you would implicate the Donglin Sword Sect. The rules of the Myriad Valley are very strict, even Fourth Sister can't break them. If Elder Le really pointed out your relationship with the Donglin Sword Sect, even Fourth Sister wouldn't be able to help us."
Lu Yin nodded and opened the pouch. There was a piece of paper inside, and there were only three words on it: Ming Xiaochou.
"Ming Xiaochou?" Lu Yin was confused.
Lu Siyu's expression changed as she looked at the piece of paper.
Elder Le's expression changed as well, and he stared blankly at the three words.
Lu Yin replied, "That sounds troublesome. Tell me, or else I won't know anything based on these three words alone."
Elder Le was stunned. "My lady hasn't let it go, but why did she hand it over to you?
You have nothing to do with the Myriad Valley. "
Lu Siyu interrupted, "Elder, Fourth Sister has her reasons for doing so."
Elder Le looked at Lu Siyu and then at Lu Yin, recalling Ming Zhuo's words. He came from Ye Hai, so he understood a little. He took a step back and bowed solemnly to Lu Yin. "If you can help the Myriad Valley, I'm willing to repay you with my life."
Lu Yin was speechless. "Lu Sizhan likes to die to prove his sincerity, and you want to repay him with your life? Why do you people from the Ninth Heaven Universe like to die so much?"
Elder Le was shocked. "Ninth Heaven Universe?
You're not from there? "
"Did I say I'm from there?" Lu Yin retorted.
Elder Le didn't know how to answer. If he wasn't from the Ninth Heaven Universe, then where was he from?
Another universe?
Or three universes?
Why couldn't he tell from his aura?
But no matter where he came from, it wasn't something he could control. After all, Lu Yin was from Ye Hai.
Lu Siyu's heart sank when she heard Ming Xiaochou's name. She slowly said, "Ming Xiaochou is Fourth Sister's brother. This matter starts from the bet …"
Lu Siyu spoke slowly and carefully. Lu Yin listened attentively, especially towards the end, because this matter involved the Spring and Autumn Slip.
The fourth of the Seven Fairies, Ming Xiaolong, came from Myriad Valley. She had a brother called Ming Xiaochou, and both siblings were born there. They were the children of deceased disciples.
Both siblings were extremely talented, especially Ming Xiaochou, who was called a rare genius by the Myriad Valley.
When the senior disciples of the Myriad Valley reached the Ten Phenomena Realm, Ming Xiaochou reached the Hundred Phenomena Realm, and then quickly broke through to the Thousand Phenomena Realm, shocking countless people in the Ninth Heaven Universe. Coincidentally, the Spring and Autumn Slip passed by the Myriad Valley and saw Ming Xiaochou's amazing talent. It set up a bet, and the result was obvious. The arrogant Ming Xiaochou lost, and the condition of the bet was for him to stay in the Spring and Autumn Slip for ten thousand years.
Although ten thousand years wasn't a long time for many cultivators, Ming Xiaochou had been so young at the time. Ten thousand years was boundlessly long for him, and ten thousand years was enough for Ming Xiaochou to change his understanding of the universe. The Spring and Autumn Slip was the best at changing people's thoughts.
The Myriad Valley had negotiated with the Spring and Autumn Slip many times, but the slip refused to let him go. It used the bet as an excuse to keep Ming Xiaochou.
Ming Xiaochou's talent moved the Spring and Autumn Slip, and no matter what price the Myriad Valley paid, the slip would not relent.
This matter had been stuck until now.
The Spring and Autumn Slip?
Lu Yin's lips curled up. He had wanted to find them for a long time. He had broken through the Celestial Gate, and if not for the Spring and Autumn Slip, he wouldn't have been kicked out. He clearly had nothing to do with the Spring and Autumn Slip, but that old woman still made a move. It was time to talk to them.
"Is Ming Xiaochou that valuable?
For the Spring and Autumn Slip to offend the Myriad Valley? "Lu Yin didn't understand.
Elder Le said in a low voice, "Ming Xiaochou's talent in cultivating the power of heaven and earth has not been shown in other cultivation paths, so he has no value to the Spring and Autumn Slip. Letting Ming Xiaochou go would allow the Myriad Valley to owe him a favor, and it would also show the generosity of the Spring and Autumn Slip. Everyone thought that they would do that, so when the Valley Master knew about the bet, he didn't stop them. Ming Xiaochou was too arrogant, and the Valley Master wanted to teach him a lesson."
"Who knew that the Spring and Autumn Slip wouldn't let him go. We only found out the reason later."
He looked at Lu Yin with a solemn expression, "The Spring and Autumn Slip wants to create another Myriad Valley."
