"Basically, I've mostly recovered the power I had at the Immortal Emperor level, but it'll take some time to consolidate."

Chen Tuan merely made a preliminary judgment based on the current situation.

To determine his exact strength, he would still need to find someone to spar with.

"So quick to become an Immortal Emperor? Several Great Realms, with just one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, and you can rush to the Immortal Emperor level?"

Tang Rao looked at Chen Tuan as if he were seeing a ghost.

"Do you think a fourth-grade Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is some common street item?"

Chen Tuan's expression made Tang Rao feel like he was an idiot.

A fourth-grade Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, something even Chen Tuan found precious, Tang Rao just gave away like a street trinket.

If he wasn't dumb, who was?

"Grandmaster, how about we make a deal?"

Tang Rao squinted his small eyes, his mind whirring like a little motor. Since he was at a loss, he had to find something in Chen Tuan to recoup it.

Chen Tuan knew immediately upon seeing Tang Rao that it couldn't be anything good.

"If you agree, I'll give you an upper-grade Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. If not, I reckon in this lifetime I won't be able to refine another one."

A higher grade, one that would make Chen Tuan's bone marrow cleansing even more magnificent?

This is a good deal, worth taking up.

"As long as I can manage it, why wouldn't I agree to your terms?"

Little did Chen Tuan know, he had already fallen into Tang Rao's trap.

"Grandmaster, you know why I came to the Land of Immortals, I saw Chen Ajiu in the hands of the Corpse Emperor with my own eyes. You help me find the Corpse Emperor, rescue Chen Ajiu, and I'll give you a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill above the fourth grade."

Chen Ajiu had always been a thorn in Tang Rao's heart, and as long as this thorn wasn't removed, Tang Rao could never be at peace.

Apart from Taoist Qi Yun, who had only a vague understanding of Chen Ajiu's affairs, only Chen Tuan knew.

Chen Tuan didn't even listen, directly waved his hand: "Don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible."

I would rather not want a fifth-grade elixir than get involved in Chen Ajiu's matters.

"Why, we're from the same sect, Grandmaster, do you have any objections to Chen Ajiu?"

Tang Rao was unhappy about this; if Chen Tuan could go to such lengths for his little sweetheart, even marrying Liu Mingyue, why couldn't he agree to save Chen Ajiu?

"Don't ask about this; anyway, I'm not going to intervene in saving Chen Ajiu."

Tang Rao could only give up on this idea.

No way, when it comes to Chen Ajiu, Chen Tuan knows the complete story the best, "Chen Tuan! If you act like this, I'll have to kick you out of the Kao Shan Sect!"

He loudly called out Chen Tuan's full name.

"Tang Rao, it's not that I don't want to rescue her. If Chen Ajiu sees me, she'll kill me; I'm truly not her match."

Chen Tuan covered his face.

Such a shameful thing, how could he bear to say it aloud?

"Back then, if I hadn't lost control, I wouldn't have returned from the Land of Immortals to the Seventy-two Domains, wouldn't have had that incident with Chen Ajiu, wouldn't have discovered Blue Star, and wouldn't have been hunted by Chen Ajiu."

Thinking back to the events of many years ago now felt like an entire century had passed.

"I just need you to rescue Chen Ajiu; her Divine Sense is being controlled by the Corpse Emperor, she can't remember the past, don't worry, she won't trouble you."

With her Divine Sense under control, Chen Ajiu didn't recognize people, as for troubling Chen Tuan or not, Tang Rao couldn't guarantee.

"I still won't go."

Chen Tuan was determined, and no one could change his mind.

"Fine, do as you wish."

Tang Rao turned and left.

The clues about Chen Ajiu were completely severed as soon as the Corpse Emperor left.

The world simply didn't know that Chen Ajiu had ever appeared at all.

"Benefactor, do you think the people of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple might know about Chen Ajiu?"

Li Shengxuan originally wanted to give Tang Rao some comfort, but instead, it sparked an idea in Tang Rao's mind—right, he almost forgot about the old monks at the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

"Sheng Xuan, my little lucky star, hubby really wants to love you to death."

Tang Rao returned to his room, put on the Golden Armor given to him by that old saltfish in the Gengyu Mausoleum, layered on his outer clothes, and then headed to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

This time Tang Rao went alone, whether he could beat an Immortal Emperor or not, not to mention, the old saltfish had told Tang Rao that the Golden Armor could ensure that he could spar with an Immortal Emperor without getting hurt, which showed that it was indeed a good item, nothing to complain about.

Ku Song was meditating and contemplating with Ku Zhu, and upon seeing Tang Rao come over again, they felt a headache.

"Non-serious junior, why have you come again?"

Ku Zhu spoke very directly.

Tang Rao's beer was indeed delicious, but every time they drank, there was a price to pay. Their hearts itched and hurt, yet they would always get hit right at their weak spot by Tang Rao.

"Senior brothers, don't be so distant. As the junior brother, I naturally need to come back to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple from time to time. What if you suddenly miss me?"

Tang Rao first took out some beer without hesitation.

"To be honest, I'm here to give you guys a tip-off."

Tang Rao pouted his lips, indicating that since he was personally informing them of such a big matter, they definitely owed him a big favor in return.

"What is it?"

"Do you know that Chen Tuan has returned to the Land of Immortals?"

"What?"

"What?"

Ku Song and Ku Zhu were so shocked that they dropped the beer in their hands on the ground.

"Non-serious junior, this matter shouldn't be spoken of carelessly."

Ku Song originally thought Chen Tuan would never return to the Land of Immortals in his lifetime. Upon suddenly hearing this name, they felt a chill creeping in their hearts.

"I wasn't mistaken, I just had a debate with him not long ago."

Tang Rao raised and lowered his delicate eyebrows twice, making Ku Zhu start to envy Tang Rao's good looks.

"You said you were debating with Chen Tuan?"

Heavens, what has the world come to?

For someone as legendary as Chen Tuan to actually get into a debate with Tang Rao?

"Non-serious junior, could you tell us in detail?"

A single Chen Tuan had nearly turned the entire Ten Thousand Buddha Temple into a third-rate sect. After Chen Tuan left, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple had finally found its footing again, but unexpectedly, he came back.

This return of Chen Tuan truly caught everyone off guard.

"Chen Tuan is my Grandmaster. I didn't want you to hold any grudges against me, so I never mentioned it, but my Grandmaster, well, he's not a bad person. So don't hold too much animosity toward him, peace is the key to profitable harmony, wouldn't you agree?"

To hell with peace being the key to profitable harmony.

Ku Song and Ku Zhu stood up from their benches simultaneously.

"You are actually a disciple of Chen Tuan!"

It seemed they had quite significant grievances with Chen Tuan.

"Indeed, one of Chen Tuan's countless generations of disciples, but I have no feelings for him, so don't hold animosities against me."

Most would think having such a Grandmaster would be a good thing, how impressive to show off.

Only Tang Rao felt it was horrid luck to have an infamous Grandmaster for eight generations.

"Non-serious junior, setting aside who your Grandmaster is, for what reason have you come to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple today?"

Ku Song had his hands around the Buddha Beads, Bu Zhi stood quietly beside Ku Song as if he were nonexistent.

"I want to challenge Bu Zhi."

Tang Rao said lightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Bu Zhi is already a Ninth Realm Immortal Monarch."

Last time Bu Zhi was a Seventh Realm Immortal Monarch, and it had only been some time since they last met, yet his power had advanced another step.
