Chapter 162 - 161 Rescue
Tie Dan stayed in Yingzhou for a day, first to rest and replenish his Qi, waiting for Xiao Ming to gather all the knives, and also to calculate the variables and plan strategies to maximize his own benefits.
Actually, he didn’t need to calculate and deduce much. Just seeing how powerful that tree-planting old man was, he had a sense of the difficulty he would face. He knew that this mission was fraught with challenges and wouldn’t be as simple as delivering a letter, exchanging goods, and rescuing someone.
Considering the current situation, after much deliberation, it boiled down to choosing between two battles.
One was to take the nine knives and break the old man’s great array together to rescue someone.
The second option was to go alone, defeat at least seven Nascent Souls, break Lanling, and snatch the Immortal Ganoderma from the Xiao Family.
Actually, he also hid a third option, which was to directly attack the tree-planting old man’s array, but Tie Dan admitted to himself that he couldn’t handle that plan, so he developed a new sub-plan.
Of course, there’s always option three: give up and let it be. That’s also fine, but that would mean the end of this Immortal Fate series. But if one doesn’t fight or compete, then why bother cultivating immortality?
Considering the Xiao Family had given him so many things, and he still had many good things in hand, Tie Dan thought about it and decided to choose the first option.
However, he secretly wanted to choose option four, which was to take everything. First, rescue the person, and then find an opportunity to steal the Immortal Ganoderma. At the very least, get acquainted with the Xiao Family enough to sip their soup.
After all, it’s crucial material for breaking through to Divinity Transformation! It’s a rare opportunity; miss this village and you won’t find another shop. How could he miss it? Go for it! Transform a bicycle into a motorcycle!
