Chapter 2735: Chapter 2755: Is Divination That Amazing?

Main Hall, Lin Chen remained seated in his usual spot, with Lan Qiangwei still by his side.

"After tonight, the Gathering of Immortals Meet will be over. Have you made up your mind?"

Lan Qiangwei suddenly turned her head, proactively asking Lin Chen, which also drew the attention of others.

What Lan Qiangwei was asking about was evidently the invitation to join the Lihaizong sect. Lin Chen courteously and regretfully declined, "Fairy Lan, for a quite a long time, I may stay on Gathering Immortal Island, so I can only disappoint you with your kind offer."

Lan Qiangwei wasn’t surprised; after all, those who came here usually had a purpose. Whether they stayed or not depended on if the negotiations succeeded and how many were truly here to indulge in food, drink, and women.

As a Loose Cultivator, Lin Chen certainly had his own needs, and he was very likely to be enticed by Gathering Immortal Island. Such an outcome was quite normal.

Lan Qiangwei gave a slight smile, "It doesn’t matter."

After some thought, Lin Chen finally took the initiative and asked his first question, "Are you leaving, Fairy Lan?"

Lan Qiangwei shook her head, "Like you, I’ll be staying as well. I expect to be here for a very long time. By the way, are you joining Gathering Immortal Island, or are you staying under a contract model?"

Lin Chen answered, "Point contract."

Not stating what he wants but only the contract model was still acceptable.

Lan Qiangwei smiled slightly, "Then after this, we can consider ourselves colleagues. We ought to help each other out. If you have any trouble, you can find me."

Lin Chen nodded in appreciation, "Thank you, Fairy Lan."

Lan Qiangwei nonchalantly waved her hand, "Although everyone may have their own status outside, here on Gathering Immortal Island, everyone’s status is the same. We should help each other to fulfill the contracts quickly and achieve our goals, and then retire with success."

Zuo Dongxu joined the conversation, "Fairy Lan is right. Since we’re all staying, we should indeed help each other out."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Young Master Zuo, are you also staying?"

The reason why Lin Chen asked Zuo Dongxu was that Zuo had mentioned earlier their aim to seek help from Gathering Immortal Island to locate Shang Wenyin’s whereabouts.

Could it be that the illustrious Gui Xu Sect couldn’t afford the reward and needed to work in servitude to repay the debt?

Lin Chen had never shown any particular enthusiasm toward Lan Qiangwei, being cautious and prudent, so Zuo Dongxu and the others didn’t pay much attention to Lin Chen, nor did they consider him as a potential rival. Zuo Dongxu sighed, "I have prepared quite a lot of things, but I did not expect that finding someone would require such a high price. We can’t wait another five hundred years. Moreover, next time, we might not have the Gathering Immortal Command. Now that we’re here, we should at least get the job done."

"I’ve converted the items I brought into points, but it’s still not enough. I’ve signed a point contract and plan to stay for some time, earning enough reward points to complete the task."

Lin Chen, curious, said, "You’re seeking help from Gathering Immortal Island to find Shang Wenyin’s location? Isn’t it said that she most likely has already escaped with Lin Chen from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain? Does Gathering Immortal Island really have the capability to find her?"

Zuo Dongxu nodded, "Yes, Gathering Immortal Island has experts who can use divination to pinpoint her location, no matter which Immortal Domain she is in. However, Gathering Immortal Island says divination is an act against the Heavenly Dao and comes at a cost, so they demand a high price."

Divination?

Lin Chen finally got the answer he wanted, his mind quickly spinning as he pressed on, "Your Gui Xu Sect is renowned, aren’t you able to defer the payment of the rest of the reward, and they only divine after you’ve gathered enough reward?"

Zuo Dongxu showed a helpless expression, "I’ve suggested that they divine first and we’ll make up the materials for the reward later, but they refused. They said Gathering Immortal Island only receives those with the Gathering Immortal Command on the island and doesn’t interact on regular days. Everything needs to follow a principle of causality... In short, owing a debt doesn’t work; they will help only once the payment is complete."

Lin Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. It was fortunate the other party didn’t agree; otherwise, according to Zuo Dongxu, no matter where they escaped to, they would have been found using divination, and then it would certainly be the Gui Xu Sect Ancestor who would personally come knocking.

Without any precautions, a sudden visit from him could mean a great loss!

Heaven was indeed still on his side!

He had originally come here on a whim, hoping to find a Cultivation Technique, but he had not expected to encounter people from the Gui Xu Sect and learn about their plan.

Gu Maduo asked, "How many more points do you need?"

"Aside from the resources I’ve given, I still need five thousand points. I’ll see if I can buy points from others. If that’s possible, it won’t take long to gather the rest," Zuo Dongxu explained.

Gu Maduo asked in surprise, "One can purchase points as well?"

Zuo Dongxu laughed, "Indeed, on Gathering Immortal Island, points are like hard currency and can be traded. They don’t care how you got them; as long as you can present a sufficient quantity, your contract is considered fulfilled..."
