âNo! What if I give you the stuff first and you canât help me complete the task?â Wu Xiaoxiao replied, resolute in her stance.
Su Nan said, âIf you donât trust my strength, you can find someone else.â
Although he wanted the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng as soon as possible, he didnât want to be manipulated. He couldnât believe that he couldnât get it if Wu Xiaoxiao could.
Worst case scenario, he could waste some time going to Muling Mountain and finding it himself.
Looking at Su Nanâs blase demeanor, Wu Xiaoxiao and the other women were frustrated but helpless.
Originally, she thought the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng was very important to Su Nan, but now she doubted that due to his attitude.
After some silence, Wu Xiaoxiao eventually gave up and said, âIâll give you the stuff, but you have to guarantee you can help me finish the task. If not, you must compensate me double.â
She had no choice; she didnât have the luxury of waiting like Su Nan did.
After receiving the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng, Su Nan ignored Wu Xiaoxiaoâs words.
With the goods in hand, his mood lifted considerably. âNow letâs talk about your task,â he said.
âThe task I received is calledâ¦â
Wu Xiaoxiao went on to relay all the details about her task.
More than ten minutes later, Su Nan fell into thought.
When Wu Xiaoxiao first sought his help, he guessed that she might have received a similar inheritance quest to Qian Yuâs âCave Immortalâs Inheritanceâ.
He was right; Wu Xiaoxiao indeed received an inheritance task.
But Wu Xiaoxiao was far luckier than Qian Yu. The Cave Immortalâs dwelling space had long been discovered and looted, while no one had found the secret realm involved in her task.
It was a secret realm left by a powerful person called the âVenerable Yulingâ. There were no demons in the realm, but there were plenty of powerful puppets.
Luckily, these puppets, perhaps because of their long existence, were mostly devoid of their original powerhouse.
After more than a month of effort, Wu Xiaoxiao, along with her guild members, cleared out most of the puppets and successfully completed the first two stages, reaping many benefits.
This significantly strengthened her guildâs core members and propelled her guild, which previously only ranked within the top twenty, into the top ten.
But when they got to the final stage of the quest, they hit a snag.
This wasnât because the puppets in the last stage were too powerful, but because they couldnât even get into the final land of inheritance.
According to Wu Xiaoxiao, the final stage of the quest required her to enter the final land of inheritance and attain the final inheritance.
But she couldnât even enter the last land of inheritance. Or rather, she died almost as soon as she entered, as did the other members who accompanied her.
The area was a sea of thunder, with countless thunderbolts raining down, each as powerful as a hit from an Xuan level expert.
Even after she expended a great deal of effort to obtain a powerful defensive treasure from her sect, she could not survive for very long.
After a few attempts and exhausting several of her death chances, if it hadnât been for the Death Mark Cleansing Card being sold in the last Contribution Mall and this Points Store, she wouldnât dare continue trying.
âA sea of thunder?â
âCould it be another Formation?â
Su Nan thought of the Formation set up by Du Qiyuan in the Land of the Lostâs Death Desert.
It seemed that only a Formation could create such a scene.
But, if it was just like Wu Xiaoxiao described, he wasnât worried. Each thunderbolt was only equivalent to an Xuan level, and his current physique was immune to the Xuan levelâs attack.
Looking at the time, it was five oâclock in the evening in reality and still dark in the game, with the sun yet to rise in the east. There were still two to three hours until Twelve Zodiac opened, enough time for him to make a breakthrough.
Su Nan said, âThereâs no big problem, now that I have the items, I will naturally help you complete the quest.â
âI donât have much time left, so I canât accompany you anymore. Iâll come to find you after the end of the Twelve Zodiac.â After speaking, Su Nan stood up and prepared to leave.
Wu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widened, she grabbed Su Nan to stop him and cautiously asked, âAre you sure you can do it? Youâre not running away because itâs too dangerous, are you?â
Su Nan replied helplessly, âIf I wanted to leave, you couldnât stop me.â
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized he was right. Eventually, she let go of Su Nan, âRemember our agreement. If you run away or fail to help me complete the task, you must compensate me double for my losses!â
Su Nan ignored her, walked straight out of the booth, and vanished from their sight.
âNow that I have got the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng, itâs time to breakthrough the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture.â
In a narrow alley, Su Nan transformed his appearance.
He didnât leave the Imperial City immediately; instead, he headed towards the Tiangong Pavilion.
In order to break through the second level of the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture, other than the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng, he also needed a thousand drops of Spirit-level Monster Essence Blood.
He didnât have a thousand drops of Spirit-level Monster Essence Blood. He only had a few drops of King-level Demon Essence Blood.
During the last Human Crisis Task, he slew numerous King-level demonic beasts and obtained more than a dozen drops of King-level demon essence blood. But most of it was used up in the subsequent teleportation, leaving him with only six drops of king-level demon essence blood.
â6 drops of King-level Essence Blood, equivalent to six hundred Spirit Grade Essence Blood, is less than a thousand. So Iâll have to go to Tiangong Pavilion and see if I can exchange King-level Essence Blood for Spirit-level Essence Blood.â
Over ten minutes later, he walked out of Tiangong Pavilion satisfactorily.
To his surprise, he only spent two drops of King-level Essence Blood to exchange for a thousand drops of Spirit-level Essence Blood. This reminded him of the King-level Essence Blood that he had used on the Yin Yang Cross-realm Disk, and he regretted it.
