Chapter 70 The Inheritance of Alchemy
Qingxuan Sect, on the back mountain.
A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the black hair on the boy's forehead.
As they chatted idly, they bent down and gently picked up a medicinal herb from the ground.
The herb was entirely red, and it felt hot to the touch.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a somewhat worn book from his storage bag and began to carefully peruse it.
The book is very thin.
Before long, during a brief chat, they spotted a herb that resembled the one in their hand.
"Hmm... this must be the Bloodflame Grass that Monkey King Wei Chen mentioned."
They chatted idly to themselves as they placed the medicinal herbs into the medicine box that had been prepared beforehand.
This medicine box is a special container for storing spiritual herbs, which can prevent the leakage of spiritual energy.
After putting it away, he quietly opened the quest panel, where a special side quest had appeared.
[Task: Alchemy Inheritance Assessment]
[Task Requirements: Gather one Bloodflame Grass, one Moon Spirit Fruit, and one Wind Shadow Flower]
[Currently 1/3 complete]
[Task Reward: Break through to the third level of Qi Refining and unlock the Alchemy Inheritance]
That's right, Sanliang Xianhua is the player who communicates most frequently with the Crimson Monkey King, Wei Chen.
Since activating the secondary profession system, I have naturally become one of the lucky ones to be among the first to inherit the art of alchemy.
Looking at the progress bar, which is one-third complete, I felt a surge of joy amidst the casual conversation.
He carefully put the elixir into his storage bag, and then took out a map.
He carefully examined the map of the back mountain in his hand, which marked a place called Silver Moon Valley, the location of the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree.
They cautiously made their way towards Silver Moon Valley, avoiding many monsters and dangers along the way.
But he knew the task was daunting, and that it was only just beginning.
According to Weichen's description, the valley is inhabited by the Silver Moon Wolf pack.
This wolf pack's average cultivation level was not only much stronger than that of the Azure Shadow Wolves, but their combat skills and teamwork were also more tacit and proficient.
The Moon Spirit Fruit is the key spiritual material for cultivating them, and now that he wants to snatch it from the jaws of a wolf, the difficulty is undoubtedly very high.
Thinking of these few words of gossip, he couldn't help but clench his fists. Even though he had already prepared a countermeasure, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.
After all, once you get to the next step, you're really risking your life.
Time flies, and night quietly falls.
They chatted idly as they slipped into Silvermoon Valley under the cover of night. From a distance, although most of the Silvermoon wolves were fast asleep, a dozen or so were still patrolling the surrounding area.
Especially under the Moon Spirit Fruit Tree, five Silver Moon Wolves stood guard without leaving its side.
After gathering the information, he quickly drew his longsword and stabbed a sleeping silver moon wolf, then recklessly ran towards the distant dense forest.
He planned to use a strategy of using one tiger to devour another.
A few casual words exchanged as their footsteps swiftly moved.
Even though he had specially purchased a copy of "Chasing the Wind Steps" from the contribution shop for 30 contribution points for this inheritance test, he still found it somewhat difficult to chat casually when faced with the terrifying speed of the Silver Moon Wolf pack.
"I'm willing to risk my life, so what's a few sect contributions? I'll give it my all; if I don't succeed this time, I'll die trying!"
While chatting idly, he glanced at the approaching Silver Moon Wolf pack behind him, immediately made up his mind, and slammed two Swiftness Talismans onto his legs.
With the speed boost from the Swiftness Charm, Sanliang's speed skyrocketed, and he was even able to maintain his distance from the Silver Moon Wolf pack.
Sometimes they deliberately slow down, keeping the two sides at a comfortable distance, just enough to keep them at peace.
After letting out a sigh of relief, they chatted idly as they looked out into the dense forest.
His previously prepared strategy was to use a tactic of driving away one tiger to devour another.
However, the tiger was a real tiger, and the wolf was a real wolf.
Indeed, deep in the dense forest behind the mountain, a huge black-striped tiger dwells.
His strength had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and his supernatural abilities were even more unpredictable.
At that moment, the black-striped tiger was lying on the ground, leisurely enjoying a comfortable sleep.
For a ruler like it, the world seems like a wonderful place.
He ate and slept all day, and when he was bored, he would cultivate himself for a while. He lived a carefree and leisurely life.
However, it woke up very quickly, and it was as if someone had deliberately woken it up.
"roar……!"
A tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and forests.
The black-striped tiger looked around, its eyes filled with icy killing intent.
It had been a long time since it had encountered such a daring creature to wake it from its slumber.
After exchanging a few casual words and touching the tiger's rear end, it immediately retreated into the nearby bushes.
It has to be said, that tiger's roar was truly awe-inspiring. It even knocked down many branches of the surrounding trees.
Upon hearing the tiger's roar, the Silver Moon Wolf pack not far away hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision and immediately retreated.
They could keenly sense that this big guy was not someone to be trifled with.
But the Black-striped Tiger had no intention of letting the pack of Silver Moon Wolves go so easily. With a jolt, it bent its legs and sprang forward in an instant.
The black figure swept through the dense forest like a ghost, catching up with the silver moon wolves that were charging ahead in the blink of an eye.
Without hesitation, the three or two people chatting nearby immediately took a detour and rushed into Silver Moon Valley.
Victory or defeat hinges on this one battle!
as predicted.
The Silvermoon Wolf Pack is very united. In order to protect their companions and defend their territory, they choose to send out the entire pack.
From their perspective, this choice is quite wise.
As long as the number of Silver Moon Wolves increases, even Black-striped Tigers will have to be wary and dare not venture too far.
Moreover, as both are top predators in the back mountains, there is no need for either side to injure the other. In the end, the most likely outcome is that after some probing, they will each leave.
However, they seem to have forgotten one person.
Outside Silver Moon Valley.
Taking advantage of a brief chat, he slipped away and disappeared inside once more.
However, the scene was now very different from before.
Apart from a few hungry wolf cubs and two or three old wolves patrolling the valley, there were no other creatures in sight.
To the surprise of Sanliang Xianhu, the Silver Moon Wolf did not relax its defenses against the Moon Spirit Tree even under these circumstances.
Beside that Moon Spirit Tree, three Silver Moon Wolves at the third level of Qi Refining still stood guard.
"Hiss... You really can't treat people like idiots."
As they chatted idly, a bad feeling crept into their hearts, and they immediately began to think of their next course of action.
Soon, a wicked idea popped into his head.
That was a diversionary tactic.
After a few casual words and a chuckle, they emerged from the darkness and appeared openly before the old wolves.
"Awooo—!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the wolf quickly let out a howl to warn others.
They ignored the chatter and rushed into the wolf den, reaching out and grabbing five or six wolf cubs.
Nearby the Moon Spirit Fruit tree in the distance, the three Silver Moon Wolves were enraged and charged straight towards the three idlers.
For any wolf pack, the cubs are their foundation and lifeline.
Biological instinct told the silver moon wolves that they had to protect the cubs of their pack.
Seeing this, Sanliang Xianhua immediately took out two speed talismans, circled around from the right side of the valley, avoided the attack of the three silver moon wolves, and rushed straight to the moon spirit fruit tree.
"No, there's not enough time. Grab one and run!"
After a few casual words, he gritted his teeth, tossed the five wolf cubs into the air, and reached out to grab the Moon Spirit Fruit that was closest to him.
Several silver moon wolves caught the cubs first, and were just about to turn around and chase after Sanliang when they could no longer keep up with his speed.
After leaving Silvermoon Valley, Sanliang stopped, panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.
As it turns out, doing this inheritance task is really deadly.
After a few casual words, he carefully placed the Moon Spirit Fruit into the medicine box and then put it back into his storage bag.
Now he only has one Wind Shadow Flower left to harvest.
The Wind Shadow Flower is located on a cliff, not far from where Sanliang Xianhua is currently sitting.
A thought struck him, and with the idea that dying sooner would be better than dying later, he walked toward the cliff.
Before long, after a few casual words, they arrived at the top of the cliff behind the mountain.
He stood on the precipice.
Looking up, one sees a vast sea of clouds; looking down, one sees a bottomless abyss.
The stark contrast caused the two or three people chatting to lose their composure.
"Would I ever have seen this scene in my lifetime if I hadn't played 'Cultivation Online'?"
They chatted idly to themselves.
But remembering that there were still tasks to be completed, he put aside his distractions, crouched down, and began climbing the cliff.
Perhaps it was the luck of chatting for a while, but before long, a Wind Shadow Flower appeared in front of him.
He nimbly climbed up, reached out with one hand, and plucked it, placing it in the medicine box.
The notification sound indicating mission completion rang in his ears at that moment.
"Phew, life's tough...!"
But just as they finished their casual conversation, a golden eagle suddenly swooped down from the sky.
With a swift slash of its sharp claws, it cut three or four people. The left hand, stung, instinctively loosened its grip on the rock face.
It was in that instant of letting go that he plummeted to the bottom of the precipice.
