Chapter 1017: The Weakest Quest Ever
No one knew he needed Blood Spirits except for Yi Yunmeng.
Last time in the Martial Mountain Range, she ignored all dangers and looked for rank 7 demonic beasts to help Luo Tian.
After failing to get one he could use, she still wanted to help Luo Tian.
When Luo Tian stepped into Towering Cloud City, Yi Yunmeng had already sensed him and immediately went to look for the Deng family.
Luo Tian left the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion in disappointment.
He rushed up to the third floor of the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, but Yi Yunmeng’s figure had already disappeared. He asked Deng Leigong, but Deng Leigong didn’t know how to respond because he, too, didn’t know where Yi Yunmeng went off to. He could only tell Luo Tian that there was a place in Towering Cloud City where the Misty Cloud Academy had set up a branch to recruit disciples.
“If you want to help me, why didn’t you come out to see me?”
Luo Tian walked down the street in an absent-minded state.
He was sure it was Yi Yunmeng, but she somehow didn’t want to see him.
Luo Tian smiled bitterly to himself, “Sigh~. Is she really just treating me like a little brother? Then, why does she feel that she has to repay me back so badly? Does anyone know what goes on in a woman’s mind?”
This was so annoying.
Luo Tian was doing a good job of trying to forget about Yi Yunmeng, but she suddenly appeared again in his life. Memories of their time together instantly came back, which made him rather depressed.
Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, Deng family.
“Father, even if that brat is related to Yi Yunmeng, there’s really no need to give him the Blood Spirit of the Thick-armed Spirit Monkey, right? You know that it took you a few years to get it, right? It was specifically prepared for your attempt to break into the Great Diffusion realm. How come you…” Deng Zhentian couldn’t figure it out.
Inside a room were an extra four middle-aged men.
They were Deng Leigong’s four sons.
They were all confused when they heard about this matter. Wasn’t it a huge waste to give it to a Four Elements 7th rank martial artist? Moreover, that kid killed someone from the Deng family and then seriously injured Deng Weilong. Who knows if Deng Weilong can still use that thing down there? If his thing really was broken, then the Deng family’s lineage would end right there. Not killing Luo Tian was already considered a heavenly grace, yet now, he was given a Power of Blood Spirit! This completely baffled them!
Deng Leigong’s face was calm as he stroked his white beard. He then said indifferently, “The Blood Spirit is definitely a good thing, but I know very well that even if I fuse with its power, I may still not be able to break through to the Great Diffusion realm.”
He was pretty clear on that point.
His innate talent was limited, so even miraculous medicines and elixirs might not let him make another breakthrough in life.
“Even if that’s the case, we still can’t let a kid like that get all the benefits.”
“That’s right.”
“Father, what exactly did heaven’s pride daughter Yi Yunmeng say to you to make you give that Blood Spirit to the kid?”
Deng Leigong replied with a smile, “The Blood Spirit has little use for me, and the chances of breaking through are also quite small. But the move I made has been very worthwhile because she promised our Deng family a single placement…”
“A placement allowing a person to directly enter the Misty Cloud Academy!”
As his voice faded, everyone in the room was in shock.
“What?”
“A spot for the Misty Cloud Academy?”
“Father, is what you’ve said true?”
“If that’s the case, then it is definitely worth it! We actually came out ahead! A placement in the Misty Cloud Academy is worth around five million xuan coins. However, people may not be able to get it even if they have the money. Since it is Yi Yunmeng who said it, then she definitely has a way.”
Compared to the Power of Blood Spirit, a place in the Misty Cloud Academy was much more useful!
A placement was worth a lot more, too!
The reason why the Deng family was able to rise up so quickly in just a few decades to become the number one family in Towering Cloud City was due to Deng Leigong being a graduate of the Misty Cloud Academy. The influence he was able to bring back from the Misty Cloud Academy was very powerful!
To the silver forces, the king level forces were an existence they could only see and not touch!
That’s why Deng Leigong agreed without hesitation.
Deng Leigong then said, “With this guaranteed spot, I won’t have to worry about the decline of the Deng family after my pa.s.sing. With the status of a student of Misty Cloud Academy, the Deng family will still be able to prosper in Towering Cloud City for another hundred years.”
His thoughts were that it would be impossible for the Deng family to upgrade to become a gold level force.
Moreover, the Deng family didn’t have any outstanding members. His sons were focused on the study of pill alchemy, while his only grandson, albeit a decent talent, was only focused on enjoying himself. He didn’t want to cultivate. Otherwise, why would he be defeated by Luo Tian when he was at the Four Elements 8th rank with several high grade martial skills?
Deng Leigong had to make some plans for the future of the Deng family.
Deng Leigong suddenly said, “Zhentian, pa.s.s down my order that no one is allowed to seek that kid for revenge. From today onward, Weilong will not be allowed to take a single step out of the Deng manor without my permission. The Misty Cloud Academy exams to recruit disciples will be happening soon. In this short period of time, I want to use all my abilities to raise Weilong’s cultivation to the Condensation Element realm!”
“Understood!”
“I will immediately pa.s.s the order down.”
It’s not that Deng Leigong didn’t want to take revenge. Any grandfather would be outraged if their grandchild was beaten beyond recognition.
But he didn’t dare to deal with Luo Tian right now because of the Misty Cloud Academy’s placement test.
Yi Yunmeng was in charge of this time’s examination, and she had the authority to recruit disciples through special enrollment!
If she wasn’t happy, then the special enrollment slot would naturally go up in smoke!
—————-
Luo Tian was walking through the streets in a daze.
He didn’t know where he was.
He was going to the Bai family after dawn, where a tough battle was waiting for him. But he hadn’t thought about the Bai family’s matter at all during this time.
Suddenly, the old woman who was in the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion previously leaped out. She pulled Luo Tian’s hand into a dark alleyway and said anxiously, “Little brother, the Deng family’s people didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”
Luo Tian came back to his senses and replied, “Auntie, it’s you! They didn’t make things difficult for me. Don’t you see that I’m perfectly fine?”
The old woman carefully looked up and down at Luo Tian and noticed there really wasn’t even a bit of injury on him. She felt like a big stone had been lifted off her chest. If Luo Tian was to really die, she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
When she got home, she gave her son the Blood Spirit Powder.
After noticing her son was feeling better, she immediately ran back to the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion. If she could exchange one life for another, she was hoping the person to die would be her. After all, Luo Tian killed a person from the Deng family and then injured the young master of the Deng family for her sake.
“It’s good that you’re okay!”
“It’s really good that you’re fine!” The old woman said excitedly. She then silently recited a round of thanks to the G.o.ds. After that, she then said, “Little brother, you saved my son’s life and also saved this old woman’s life. When I came out, my son told me that I had to bring you back so that he, too, can show you his grat.i.tude.”
“There’s no need…”
Before Luo Tian could finish speaking, the system suddenly gave him an alert.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for triggering a new quest! Follow Old Lady Zhang home!”
“Quest Grade: F”
“Quest Reward: 100 experience points, 10 yuan energy
“Huh?”
Luo Tian was stunned. “How did I trigger a quest? And this is the weakest quest that I have ever seen in this world…”
