My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 46 - 45: Dragon God’s Inheritance

"Dragon Tail Grass!"

Yi Tianyun pointed at the base of the tree roots. He was inwardly delighted. ’I can’t believe I actually found it. So easily, too, without any difficulty at all. This is what you call luck!’

"Where!?"

Yan Lingxue’s beautiful eyes followed Yi Tianyun’s finger and saw that it really was Dragon Tail Grass. She had read a detailed description of it, so she could tell at a glance whether it was the real thing.

"It really is Dragon Tail Grass!"

They were all stunned. They never expected to actually find the Dragon Tail Grass. All in all, it had taken less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn for Yi Tianyun to find it so easily.

Their earlier sarcasm and doubt now felt like a sharp slap across their faces.

Yi Tianyun walked over, and upon confirming it was Dragon Tail Grass, he pulled it out of the ground. The moment he did, a sharp pain shot through his hand. He looked down and saw his palm had been cut by the Dragon Tail Grass!

’That’s strange. How could Dragon Tail Grass cut me?’

Yi Tianyun found it odd. Upon closer inspection, he noticed this particular Dragon Tail Grass was special; it was slightly larger than the ones he remembered seeing.

Besides this one, there were a few other ordinary-looking ones nearby, which he picked as well. He then walked back over with the Dragon Tail Grass.

"You really found it?"

Tan Yongsheng was still skeptical. He was unwilling to believe that Yi Tianyun had truly found the Dragon Tail Grass for them, and in such a short amount of time!

"Miss Yan, here is the Dragon Tail Grass for you."

Yi Tianyun handed it over to her, but it was one of the more ordinary-looking stalks. He kept the special one for himself.

When Yan Lingxue took the Dragon Tail Grass, she examined it closely and then smiled at Yi Tianyun in pleasant surprise. "It really is Dragon Tail Grass! I can’t believe you found it so quickly, Young Master Yi. That’s incredible!"

She was beaming like a flower in bloom and couldn’t stop smiling.

She had thought it would take a long time, and that they would have to retreat when night fell completely. Who would have guessed they’d find it after barely searching? This undoubtedly saved them a lot of time.

"As long as you’ve found it, that’s all that matters. Let’s head back now," Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

The others had ugly expressions on their faces, looking extremely awkward off to the side. They had been reluctant to let Yi Tianyun help before, and now he had found it just by leading the way. They were undoubtedly mortified.

Yan Lingxue smiled and nodded. They could finally head back.

"Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest ’Escort Yan Lingxue to Gather Spirit Medicine.’ Reward: 10,000 experience points, +20 Favorability with Yan Lingxue, +15 Character Value!"

Finding the Dragon Tail Grass meant the quest was complete. He had received the corresponding rewards. It was all too easy.

Just as he was about to leave with them, there was a sudden BOOM! A pillar of light shot into the sky from the distance. Rainbow-colored light filled the heavens, a clear sign that a Treasure was emerging. Endless waves of Spiritual Power radiated from afar.

The crucial part was that a beam of this rainbow light shot over from the distance and enveloped Yi Tianyun directly. It was as if he had been chosen!

Now everyone was stunned. It all happened so suddenly, without any warning!

"Time-limited quest ’The Dragon God’s Inheritance’ has begun. Time limit: three days. Completion Reward: Obtain the Dragon God’s Inheritance."

"Failure to complete within the time limit will result in obliteration by the Dragon God!"

"What the hell!!"

Yi Tianyun was dumbfounded. What was going on? If he failed, he would be obliterated by the Dragon God! What did that even mean?

He immediately shot a glance at the Dragon Tail Grass in his hand. His heart sank as he said in astonishment, "Could it be this Dragon Tail Grass?"

Thinking back, this Dragon Tail Grass was indeed strange. It definitely wasn’t an ordinary Dragon Tail Grass; it was special.

Normal Dragon Tail Grass would never cut a person, yet this one had. Even stranger, his blood had been quickly absorbed by the ground. After absorbing the blood, the ground had even emitted a faint glow, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

’Now that I think about it, could that have been the prerequisite to trigger this quest?!’

’I’ve been chosen by the Dragon God? Could it be... because of my Luck Aura?’

Yi Tianyun said in shock, "In that case, my luck is really ’too good’!"

Hearing that the "reward" for failure was obliteration by the Dragon God, his heart went cold. What kind of luck was this?

"Wh-what’s going on?"

Yan Lingxue and her companions were dumbstruck. A beam of light had inexplicably descended and enveloped Yi Tianyun, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

But the beam of light didn’t last long, disappearing completely after enveloping him for only a moment. However, in the distance, ripples of light continued to emanate outwards, giving the distinct impression that a Treasure was about to appear.

"Miss Yan, something has come up and I must leave. I hope this Dragon Tail Grass will be of help to you!"

With that, Yi Tianyun hurriedly ran deeper into the forest, quickly vanishing from their sight. He only had three days. It seemed the objective was deeper inside the forest, so he couldn’t afford any delays. If he was too slow, he would be obliterated by the Dragon God.

Although he didn’t know what the Dragon God was, he knew from the name alone that it wouldn’t be simple.

"Young Master Yi..."

Yan Lingxue wanted to ask Yi Tianyun to stay, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye, much to her regret. She had wanted to invite him back as a guest, but he had left just like that.

At this moment, Tan Yongsheng was silent for a moment. He then turned to the guard beside him and said, "You’re coming with me. Have the others escort Miss Yan back. It’s not too late to return now, there won’t be any danger!"

Then he turned to Yan Lingxue and said, "Miss Yan, I won’t be escorting you back. It seems a Treasure is appearing up ahead, and we plan to go take a look. There shouldn’t be much danger on your way back, so please rest assured." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Before Yan Lingxue could even reply, he and his companion hurriedly chased after Yi Tianyun. Seeing that a Treasure was about to appear, they were eager to investigate.

If they found some incredible Treasure, who would care about this meager reward? Once they became stronger, they could have anything they wanted.

Yan Lingxue watched their retreating figures, then looked up at the shimmering, colorful light and shook her head. Her main priority now was to take the Dragon Tail Grass back to save someone, not to linger here.

"Let’s go." Yan Lingxue took one last look behind her, then quickly departed without dallying any longer.

The old man beside her also took a glance, then silently followed Yan Lingxue back without a word. He followed Yan Lingxue’s instructions completely, ignoring everyone else’s words. He wouldn’t act rashly; he just followed quietly.

At that moment, Tan Yongsheng, who was rapidly chasing in the direction Yi Tianyun had disappeared, had an icy gaze. "That kid definitely received some kind of information. Otherwise, that rainbow light wouldn’t have enveloped him!"

"So what do we do now?" his companion asked.

"We follow him, of course. After he finds the Treasure, we’ll ambush him from behind... Then the Treasure will be ours!" Tan Yongsheng’s face twisted into a vicious expression, looking utterly wicked!
