Chapter 20 The New Quest (1/2)

Hearing Zachary's question, Mimi fell silent. She was searching for information to answer his question. After what seemed like ages, she said once more, ”According to my analysis, this ink is made from the flower juice of a very rare plant in the world called Datura. If you want to make the words written by the ink on the scroll visible, you must apply Datura's root juice on the scroll.”

”Where can I find this Datura?” Zachary asked.

”It's extremely rare, so you won't be able to find it,” Mimi replied.

”Oh, never mind then,” Zachary said as he rolled his eyes.

”Do you want to store this treasure?” Mimi asked.

Zachary threw the scroll randomly and it disappeared, stored by Mimi into the storage space. Then, he exited the system and went back. Soon afterwards, he caught up with his team members to finish his patrol quest with them.

”Why did it take you so long?” Benjamin asked when Zachary finally showed up. He stared at Zachary with suspicion in his eyes. He suspected that Zachary must be keeping a secret from him.

”It's because I am suffering from constipation,” Zachary said. It was the first excuse that came to his mind.

Benjamin looked at Zachary suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions.

After completing the patrol quest, Zachary returned to the Logistics Hall and received the reward, a first-grade white cultivation-aiding pill. He then went back to his treehouse and entered the system. In the system, Mimi's tender voice greeted him once more, ”The new main quest is released. Head to Herbal Mountain to collect a century-old ganoderma hidden at the peak.”

”It's a weird system. Finally, the new main quest has been activated. It seems like I will take a trip to Herbal Mountain tomorrow,” Zachary muttered. He then entered the cultivation quest mode to start the challenge.

The cultivation quest this time was to run ten laps around the entire Welkin Sect within four hours.

The Welkin Sect was neither big nor small. Running one lap around the entire Welkin Sect at normal speed needed at least an hour. For ten laps, at least ten hours would be needed. Thus, such a cultivation quest was not easy.

But Zachary had mastered Shadow Pace well. With it, he finished the task easily within four hours. He received some points after he completed the cultivation quest.

Early in the morning of the next day, Zachary went to the Logistics Hall to obtain the daily quest. This time, he needed to go to the Herbal Mountain to collect herbs. However, he encountered his enemy, Benjamin, again during the quest.

Zachary kept a low profile on the way to the Herbal Mountain and did nothing out of the ordinary. He still noticed that Benjamin would look back to check on him from time to time, as if he was afraid that Zachary would run away or take a secret route.

'What the hell is this guy thinking?' Zachary thought secretly. Benjamin seemed a little different lately. He was attentive at times, while he'd be on very high alert and kept a distance from Zachary at other times. Zachary felt that he needed to keep an eye on Benjamin in case he planned to do something unexpected to hurt him.

According to the quest, each disciple needed to collect three herbs. Anyone who couldn't complete the quest would not receive any pill. Thus, after they arrived at the Herbal Mountain, the disciples immediately went off on their own directions to search for herbs.
