Chapter 637: Chapter 339: Mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth
“No! What if I give you the stuff first and you can’t help me complete the task?” Wu Xiaoxiao replied, resolute in her stance.
Su Nan said, “If you don’t trust my strength, you can find someone else.”
Although he wanted the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng as soon as possible, he didn’t want to be manipulated. He couldn’t believe that he couldn’t 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 Nan’s 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, “I’ll give you the stuff, but you have to guarantee you can help me finish the task. If not, you must compensate me double.”
She had no choice; she didn’t have the luxury of waiting like Su Nan did.
After receiving the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng, Su Nan ignored Wu Xiaoxiao’s words.
With the goods in hand, his mood lifted considerably. “Now let’s talk about your task,” he said.
“The task I received is called…”
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 Yu’s “Cave Immortal’s Inheritance”.
He was right; Wu Xiaoxiao indeed received an inheritance task.
But Wu Xiaoxiao was far luckier than Qian Yu. The Cave Immortal’s 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 “Venerable Yuling”. 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 guild’s 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 wasn’t because the puppets in the last stage were too powerful, but because they couldn’t 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 couldn’t 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 hadn’t been for the Death Mark Cleansing Card being sold in the last Contribution Mall and this Points Store, she wouldn’t dare continue trying.
“A sea of thunder?”
“Could it be another Formation?”
Su Nan thought of the Formation set up by Du Qiyuan in the Land of the Lost’s Death Desert.
It seemed that only a Formation could create such a scene.
But, if it was just like Wu Xiaoxiao described, he wasn’t worried. Each thunderbolt was only equivalent to an Xuan level, and his current physique was immune to the Xuan level’s attack.
Looking at the time, it was five o’clock 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, “There’s no big problem, now that I have the items, I will naturally help you complete the quest.”
“I don’t have much time left, so I can’t accompany you anymore. I’ll come to find you after the end of the Twelve Zodiac.” After speaking, Su Nan stood up and prepared to leave.
Wu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, she grabbed Su Nan to stop him and cautiously asked, “Are you sure you can do it? You’re not running away because it’s too dangerous, are you?”
Su Nan replied helplessly, “If I wanted to leave, you couldn’t stop me.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized he was right. Eventually, she let go of Su Nan, “Remember our agreement. If you run away or fail to help me complete the task, you must compensate me double for my losses!”
Su Nan ignored her, walked straight out of the booth, and vanished from their sight.
“Now that I have got the Golden Leaf Spirit Ginseng, it’s time to breakthrough the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture.”
In a narrow alley, Su Nan transformed his appearance.
He didn’t 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 didn’t 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.
“6 drops of King-level Essence Blood, equivalent to six hundred Spirit Grade Essence Blood, is less than a thousand. So I’ll have to go to Tiangong Pavilion and see if I can exchange King-level Essence Blood for Spirit-level Essence Blood.”
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.
