Fellow Daoist, I gladly accept this heaven-defying opportunity.

"May I ask what brings you here, Brother Bai?"

Xu Mofeng asked.

Bai Jingyuan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Actually, I mainly came to thank Brother Xu for saving my life, and there's something else..."

He forced himself to add, "I'd also like to ask Brother Xu for a favor."

Bai Jingyuan was puzzled. He really hadn't expected that Xu Mofeng, whom he had only met once, would have such a powerful and influential position in the Biyou Sect.

Back then, Xu Mofeng, who was only at the Qi Refining Realm, was already so strong that he admired him. Now, his every move exudes even more brilliance, forcing people to look him in the eye.

Little did Bai Jingyuan know that while he was filled with amazement, Xu Mofeng was several times more shocked than he was.

Half a year ago, this guy was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He was chased by two people at the tenth level of Qi Refining and almost jumped off a cliff to survive. Now, he has actually broken through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment!

How could a mere rogue cultivator, without a master or any lineage, rise so quickly in just six months? What incredible luck did he have?

Could it be that this kid has stumbled upon some incredible opportunity in the past six months?

Of course, the surge in cultivation level was secondary.

What truly shook Xu Mofeng was something else entirely.

A glimmer of opportunity suddenly appeared on Bai Jingyuan's body.

Crimson red like fire, so intense it almost turned purple, the person looked exactly like a walking human torch, dazzlingly bright.

If it weren't for this overflowing opportunity, Xu Mofeng would have turned around and left long ago; he wouldn't have had time for pleasantries and small talk.

"What is it, Brother Bai? Please speak freely."

"It's a long story. Brother Xu, do you remember when I said that the Wu family, who were chasing me, once stole a family heirloom from me? This matter is related to that treasure."

Bai Jingyuan patted his chest and vowed confidently, "Brother Xu, I, Bai Jingyuan, guarantee with my integrity that there is a great opportunity hidden behind this matter! If Brother Xu is willing to lend a helping hand, I am willing to share this opportunity with you!"

Xu Mofeng raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

How could Bai Jingyuan also know that there was a connection involved?

He quickly agreed, saying, "We have a close relationship, so I'll naturally help you with this. Let's not delay, let's set off now."

Bai Jingyuan had prepared a whole host of arguments in his mind, ready to persuade Xu Mofeng with gentle persuasion, but he never expected the other party to agree so readily.

Recalling how the other party had generously helped him when they first met, his heart warmed, and he repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Brother Xu, you are so kind! I thank you for this kindness!"

As he spoke, he turned to the maid beside him and boasted, "See that, Xiaoya? I told you long ago, Brother Xu is a man of great integrity and loyalty. How could he not help me when I was in trouble? Brother Xu is truly a benefactor in my life, Bai Jingyuan!"

Bai Jingyuan's heart was burning with emotion, feeling as if he had met a truly loyal and devoted friend, and he was so moved that he was almost touched to tears.

He didn't notice at all that Xu Mofeng agreed so readily, his eyes fixed on the red light of opportunity emanating from above him the whole time.

The last time I saved his life, it was essentially to make a deal with the opportunity he presented. This time it's just the same old trick.

The three immediately mounted their horses. Xu Mofeng rode ahead alone, while Bai Jingyuan, with his maid Xiaoya in his arms, followed closely behind. The two fast horses galloped away, kicking up dust, heading towards the edge of Biyou Mountain.

On the way, Bai Jingyuan took the initiative to start a conversation, sighing to Xu Mofeng, "After I parted ways with Brother Xu, all I could think about was returning to the Wu family to take revenge and reclaim our family heirloom. But alas, my talent is mediocre, and if I want to bring down the Wu family, I would have to cultivate diligently for at least several decades."

"Later, I passed through a certain area and happened to meet a beggar lying on the roadside, dying. Seeing his pitiful state, I couldn't bear it and treated him to a meal and some wine."

"I never expected that the beggar was actually a wounded and dying late-stage Golden Core expert. Seeing that I was kind-hearted, he used a secret method to transfer all his remaining cultivation to me before he died, allowing me to break through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop. He even left me his martial arts and magic weapons."

As Xu Mofeng listened from his horse, his face twitched involuntarily.

Bai Jingyuan's luck is ridiculously good.

Jumping off a cliff to survive can lead to inheriting the mantle of an unknown powerhouse; casually saving a beggar on the roadside can result in a late-stage Golden Core cultivator passing on their power on their deathbed, instantly propelling one from a useless nobody to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

The red aura of opportunity above his head is now so bright it's like a walking red lantern; this guy is practically welded into the script of a protagonist destined for greatness.

Bai Jingyuan continued, "When my cultivation reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, I went back to settle accounts with the Wu family and wanted to take back the family heirloom. But I didn't expect that the Wu family patriarch, Wu Changlin, was actually a master of the Golden Core realm. I was no match for him and was captured. I thought I was doomed, but luckily I met the eldest daughter of the Wu family and Xiaoya."

As he spoke, he looked down at the maid in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness. Xiaoya also looked up with affection and softly called out, "Brother Bai."

Seeing that the two were about to get close to each other as if no one else was around, Xu Mofeng immediately coughed and forcefully cut off this sweet moment.

Bai Jingyuan came to his senses and continued, "Thanks to the secret help of Miss Wu and Xiaoya, I was able to escape from the Wu family."

"But Miss Wu has been placed under house arrest by that old bastard Wu Changlin. I came to see Brother Xu this time to ask you to help me find a way to rescue Miss Wu and, incidentally, take back the family heirloom from the Wu family."

Xu Mofeng was speechless.

Even after being captured, he still managed to get his enemy's daughter to help him escape. Bai Jingyuan, do you still dare to say you're not a protagonist in a storybook?

After silently grumbling to himself for a moment, Xu Mofeng asked, "Brother Bai, do you have any plans?"

Bai Jingyuan immediately took out a map with several red circles marked on it.

"These red circles all belong to the Wu family's properties. I'm not sure where Miss Wu is being held. My plan is for Brother Xu and me to split up, find out where she's being held first, and then make further plans."

"it is good."

Xu Mofeng nodded, then asked, "I wonder what arrangements Brother Bai plans to make?"

Bai Jingyuan pointed to the map and said, "I'll go to the Wu family's manor first, and Brother Xu will go to that animal farm..."

As Xu Mofeng listened to his arrangements, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He had long seen that the direction the opportunity line on Bai Jingyuan pointed to was exactly the villa marked on the map. If they really followed this allocation, wouldn't this red opportunity fall back into Bai Jingyuan's own pocket?

There's no reason to let an opportunity slip away once it's within your grasp.

He drew a line on the map and interrupted, "Brother Bai, I think it would be better to divide it up differently. The three in the east will be mine, and the two in the west will be yours. That would be more efficient, what do you say?"

The villa where the opportunity lay happened to be located on the eastern side of the land.

Bai Jingyuan paused for a moment, then thought that Xu Mofeng's words made a lot of sense, and immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble Brother Xu to go to one more place. Maybe we won't need to investigate everything, and we can find Miss Wu's whereabouts soon. Once we find any trace, we'll meet here."

"it is good."

Xu Mofeng didn't waste any more words, turned his horse around and rode away.

After Xu Mofeng's figure disappeared into the distance, Xiaoya looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Bai, your friend is such a good person. As a big shot in the Biyou Sect, he has no airs at all and is so eager to help. It's really rare to find someone like him."

Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face, and laughed, "Of course, don't you know who I am, Bai Jingyuan? How could the friends I make be ordinary people?"

He was completely unaware that the incredible opportunity dangling above his head had already been precisely targeted by this "righteous friend."

Xu Mofeng didn't need to look at the map at all; he could just speed along the path of opportunity.

Before long, he arrived at a scenic spot with clear waters and lush mountains, and in the distance he could see a mountain villa standing amidst the wilderness.

"Um?"

At this moment, Xu Mofeng's face showed surprise.

The thread of fate that originally connected Bai Jingyuan split in two here, both of them a striking red, one leading to the east end of the villa and the other to the west side.

"It's quite unexpected that this small place holds two such significant historical opportunities..."

No wonder Bai Jingyuan's aura of opportunity was so dazzlingly red but hadn't yet advanced to purple; it turned out that two red opportunities had overlapped.

Xu Mofeng was overjoyed. Who would complain about having too many opportunities? Naturally, the more the better.

He randomly chose one of the paths of opportunity and headed straight for the villa.

It was unclear what property this villa belonged to the Wu family, but there were layers upon layers of sentry posts at the entrance, and the defenses were not lax.

Xu Mofeng moved like a ghost, easily bypassing the sentry's line of sight, and flashed to the foot of the wall. Then, with a light touch of his toes, he leaped into the villa.

The manor was even more heavily guarded, with squads of armed guards patrolling back and forth, each of them possessing a cultivation level no less than the tenth level of Qi Refining.

In Xu Mofeng's eyes, this level of strength was no different from being a decoration. He strolled leisurely past all the patrolling guards and headed deeper into the area.

As they ventured deeper into the heart of the mountain resort, their chances of finding their way to the end were drawing to a close.
