Chapter 1088: The Golden Dragon Gate Chief (1/2)
Despite hearing that ten thousand points would be deducted if he failed to complete the task within the stipulated time, there were no changes to Huang Xiaolong’s expression.
“Tang Hong actually chose the Nefarious Devil Gold Core task! He's really overestimating himself, who does he think he is, Senior Sister Hu Dan?” A core disciple who was there to pick a task stared at Huang Xiaolong’s back, mocking him.
“Who can say for certain? Didn't that kid refine some grade three Hundred Scales of the Golden Dragon Divine Pills a few days ago? Maybe he will give everyone another great shock, running into some super dog shit luck and find a Nefarious Devil Gold Core!”
“I think he’s trying to attract Senior Sister Tian Juaner’s attention, otherwise why would he accept this task that cannot be completed in front of her?”
The several disciples laughed and snickered as they gossiped.
Some wanted to get into Tian Juaner’s favor while others were jealous because Huang Xiaolong refined grade three Divine Pills.
In short, no one believed that Huang Xiaolong was capable of completing the task.
“I want the Linglong Hallow Jade task.” Tian Juaner turned back to Li Yahong and instructed.
The Linglong Hallow Jade task also required the disciple to head to the sea region close to the Nefarious Devil Tribe, but the level of difficulty and risks was much lower compared to Huang Xiaolong’s task, something with only eight thousand points as reward.
“It’s done, Senior Sister Tian.” Li Yahong said with a courteous smile and proceeded to explain the requirements of the task in a subtle yet flattering manner.
Following this, Tian Juaner left the Grand Dragon Hall.
Although she chose to take the Linglong Hallow Jade task, due to the impending pill refining, she also pushed back her departure to one month later.
Not long after Huang Xiaolong left the Grand Dragon Hall, Liu Qingyang received news that he took the Nefarious Devil Gold Core task.
Inside Liu Qingyang’s cultivation dwelling, Sun Jinqiang snickered maliciously, “That kid was struck silly in the head by an Earthworm Beast, he actually dared to take the Nefarious Devil Gold Core task!”
Contrary to Sun Jinqiang’s thoughts, Liu Qingyang contemplated the matter, “By taking that task, he'll most likely set off after the Gate Chief finishes refining the Lightning War Monarch Pill. These past couple of days I’ve been thinking how to lure that kid out from the Golden Dragon Gate, but it seems like I don’t have to waste time thinking about that now.”
As Liu Qingyang said this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes as his killing intent leaked out for a moment.
Sun Jinqiang laughed happily, “Grandfather, when we capture that Tang Hong, I want to finish him off personally!”
Liu Qingyang dotingly consented, “Naturally.”
…
Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye over twenty days had passed.
During this time, Huang Xiaolong would routinely head to the library in the morning, while at night he would enter the Xumi Temple to refine the grade four spiritual vein after reinforcing what he comprehended during the day.
Silvery moonlight danced in the cold night air.
Huang Xiaolong was completely enshrouded in a bright light while sitting cross-legged above the spiritual vein. His persistent effort in recent days had pushed his cultivation to peak early Fifth Order Heavenly God Realm. Still, there were a few days to go until he could truly step into mid-Fifth Order Heavenly God Realm.
Having awakened from a night of cultivation, Huang Xiaolong exited the Xumi Temple.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly.
Standing in his yard, Huang Xiaolong deeply breathed in the Golden Dragon Mountain’s rich spiritual energy, which contained a weak dragon qi within.
He could feel this dragon qi flow out from the Golden Dragon Sacred Temple. From this, he concluded that the weak dragon qi originated dom the dragon pearl itself.
This finding increased Huang Xiaolong’s anticipation toward studying that Golden Dragon Pearl
