Chapter 1520

"Ding! Would the host like to investigate?"

The system's voice rang out.

Immediately, the task content appeared on the screen.

"Task: Gain the submission of three hundred Saint-level experts and assist the Qin State in overcoming this calamity."

Reward: 500 merit points.

Failure penalty: Lower your own cultivation level by one stage!"

As soon as the system's voice fell silent.

Ximen Wudi furrowed his brows, for he felt this task seemed too simple.

1201 discarded his doubts.

Logically, his current strength was sufficient to match a Saint-level eighth-stage expert.

But this task seemed too easy.

Yet, thinking of the 500 merit points reward, he discarded his doubts.

He immediately spoke.

"Investigate!"

The moment his voice ended.

The system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Investigation complete. Please wait, host!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi said nothing, instead closing his eyes to rest.

Moments later, the system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! System query complete. Releasing first task."

Task: Seize the Shennong Cauldron.

Task reward: 300 merit points.

Special attribute: Alchemist.

Upon use, enhances alchemical skill tenfold.

Would the host accept?"

"Accept!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ximen Wudi did not hesitate.

He spoke directly.

The next moment, he walked toward the alchemy chamber.

His goal this time was the Shennong Cauldron.

Thus, when he entered the alchemy chamber.

Seeing the alchemical furnace before him.

His eyes revealed a solemn expression.

Whether in the Primordial Chaos or the Hongmeng World, there were alchemy masters.

Ximen Wudi was also half an alchemy master.

But he knew that in the art of pills, there existed beings stronger than masters.

These beings not only possessed profound alchemical expertise but could also transmute all things.

Even a mountain peak could be effortlessly absorbed into their possession.

Thus, even Ximen Wudi had never heard of Zhuge Shennong.

Yet, since a task had been issued, he could not abandon it.

He immediately reached out and grabbed.

In an instant, the massive alchemical furnace soared upward.

"Chih chih!"

Flames continuously lashed out, their scorching heat nearly burning through the heavens.

Ximen Wudi's expression grew increasingly grave.

As his hands moved, he forged a series of seals.

They descended upon the furnace.

In just a brief moment.

The fierce alchemical flame beneath his palms.

Was compressed into a spherical orb.

At this moment, sweat dripped from Ximen Wudi's forehead.

Clearly, he was struggling greatly.

Yet he did not give up, continuing to urge his inner cultivation energy.

Gradually, the embryonic form of the pill had fully coalesced.

But Ximen Wudi's face grew paler and paler.

Finally, as the last surge of cultivation energy flowed into the pill.

The entire furnace's surface instantly turned crimson.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash.

A wisp of blue smoke drifted up from the furnace lid.

Then, the entire dantian chamber was filled with a rich fragrance.

This made Ximen Wudi's spirit instantly sharpen.

The next moment, he moved closer to the dantian furnace.

Just as his figure drew near.

The furnace was directly pried open by him.

In an instant, a golden-yellow mist surged upward.

This left Ximen Wudi utterly astonished.

Yet, he showed not the slightest hesitation.

His form flashed forward, rushing toward the golden-yellow mist.

Only when he first touched the mist.

A dense flow of energy surged through his fingertips toward him.

In an instant, Ximen Wudi felt his entire body exquisitely comfortable.

At the same moment, the system voice rang out.

"Ding, congratulations, host! You've completed the hidden quest and earned one Choujiangji Society draw. Use it now?"

The instant the system voice ended.

Ximen Wudi stirred his thoughts and spoke slowly.

"Yes!"

"Shua!"

As his words faded.

A streak of light shot forth from the void.

Before him, it coalesced into a scroll.

The scroll was covered with all manner of pills.

And all were Divine-grade spirit pills.

"Ding, congratulations, host! You've obtained the Ninefold Immortal Pill."

Effect: Enhances the cultivation power needed to advance from Ninth-Stage Saint Rank One to Rank Five!
