Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 436 - 48: The Fourth Level Realm of Qi Refining Skill

Chapter 436: Chapter 48: The Fourth Level Realm of Qi Refining Skill

Xiao Jie felt a surge of joy in his heart, "Holy crap, there’s such a good thing? That’s a rare sight."

This was the first time he had come across such a thing, being able to summon a BOSS as an ally, this was quite impressive.

However, the fact that there was a success rate made it a bit troublesome.

Still, no big deal, with my smooth-talking skills, what BOSS wouldn’t bow down to me when the time comes.

He exclaimed with delight, "Many thanks, Master, for this generous gift. With this item, the task is bound to succeed. Rest assured, Master, and watch how I’ll slay that monster bird to vent your anger."

Master Xiao Yue nodded, "Mm, remember to bring back its head to me. Bringing back the head of that monster bird will count as completing your third task."

Xiao Jie asked, "So, is there reward money for this monster bird’s head?"

Xiao Yue chuckled lightly, "You want money? That’s not impossible, but we should keep things separate. If you take the reward money, you can’t ask for other benefits. Are you sure?"

Xiao Jie paused for a moment, hastily clarifying, "Of course not, my undertaking of heroically slaying demons and exorcising evil is not for the sake of such worldly possessions as money. I’m just asking to be clear. Master needn’t worry; let’s forget the money. I’m sure that once the task is successfully completed, Master won’t shortchange the one who contributed."

Thinking to himself, damn, if it’s just money, that doesn’t make this task worthwhile. After all, such hidden tasks usually offer rewards far from ordinary, not something that can be measured in money.

It seems the reward for this task could likely be something I can ask for myself. With this high degree of freedom in the game and the high intelligence of NPCs, the range of potential rewards could be significant.

This will need some serious consideration. Money is the worst choice. Just asking for a Magic Treasure or a Divine Skill is far more useful than money.

"Hehe, so that’s how it is. It seems I underestimated you," said Master Xiao Yue with a smile, as if he had seen through everything. "Go on then, bring me back the monster bird’s head. If you handle this well, you naturally won’t be short of rewards."

With a heavy heart, Xiao Jie left Xiao Yue Palace, his mind already calculating.

This monster bird was surely not weak, probably even stronger than a normal BOSS, and this task obviously couldn’t be done alone. Even if he could recruit a BOSS, he would still need to find others and form a team.

However, this monster bird was clearly not a regular BOSS. If others asked about it, he’d need to have some story ready.

Otherwise, it would undoubtedly raise suspicions.

It was a pity that this task couldn’t be shared; otherwise, it would have been much simpler—just get everyone to do it together and even sell them a bunch of favors.

But it wasn’t a big problem. While the task rewards couldn’t be shared, the drops from the BOSS wouldn’t be few. The task BOSS in this game dropped Equipment just like in traditional online games, which is different from the norm.

In many traditional online games, task monsters would drop nothing but task Items. Asking for help in such cases would mean paying a hefty price.

Now, the worst-case scenario would be to pay out a bit more Silver and keep a little less for himself.

Taking advantage of the early hour, Xiao Jie decided to train the second Heavenly Book first.

He returned to the inn and immediately began his cultivation eagerly.

This "Divine Dragon Hao Ran Scripture" was similar to the "Qilin Righteous Qi Scripture" in cultivation, involving a right-click on the book, bringing up a Shadow God Map of a divine dragon with numerous meridian annotations and text explanations.

[The Divine Dragon is the ancestor of all scaled creatures. It can grow or shrink, ascend or hide; when large, it summons clouds and mists, and when small, it conceals its form. Ascend and it soars between the cosmos, hide and it lurks within the waves. With spiritual transformation and an embodiment of soul, the dragon’s will is not merely physical strength of flesh and bone...]

Xiao Jie read attentively, and with his understanding of classical Chinese, he could make sense of it.

The book started by praising the mysteries of the divine dragon, detailing how extraordinary it is—not only physically powerful but also with an exceptional will, not affected by the nature of beasts.

It then instructed various scaled demons such as fish spirits, snake spirits, lizard spirits, and crocodile spirits on how to become a dragon.

Not to be limited by one’s conditions, but aspire as high as the heavens and earth...

After reading through once, Xiao Jie had his doubts about some of the rhetoric in the book. The theories in this game were somewhat zany, but following them for cultivation was fine.

He clicked on the Spiritual Meridian Map and began to refine his Spiritual essence, completing a Circulation soon after.

[System prompt: You have cultivated the "Divine Dragon Hao Ran Scripture," and you feel a sense of inner peace.]

A [Divine Dragon Vast Intent] buff appeared above his head.

Is that it? Well, it is just a game after all, so that’s about as expressive as it gets. The important changes are those in reality.

Xiao Jie, full of anticipation, stood in front of a mirror and took off his shirt to find that the snake scales on his back had disappeared.

Phew, finally...

Exhaling a sigh of relief, he inspected himself and confirmed that he was back to his normal human appearance.

Not bad at all, now there’s no need to worry about turning into a monster.

As he put his shirt back on, he thought to himself, now I can devour Monster Inner Cores without a second thought. So what if it leads to Demonization? I’ll refine them all. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

At this moment, Xiao Jie was in high spirits; if he didn’t refine the inner cores of flying beast demons, he wouldn’t have to worry about transforming into a demon from Qi Refinement anymore.

Considering this, he decided to refine all the Monster Inner Cores in his bag.

Returning to the computer, he opened his inventory.

There were four cores inside.

One was the Catfish Spirit Core, and the other three were given to him separately by Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

There was a Pig Demon Inner Core, a Spider Essence Inner Core, and a Python Spirit Core.
