Chapter 666 - 338: Visitors from the Immortal Sect
The Immortal Sect Disciples who had entered this place on missions all looked both nervous and filled with anticipation. They each took out their prepared Storage Pouches and began to carry out the tasks assigned by the Golden Core Stewards.
A disciple from the Medicine Immortal Sect, clad in a green robe, stood as straight and tall as a pine. At this moment, his hands trembled slightly as he nervously opened his Storage Pouch. It was filled with various Mortal Level Medicinal Materials for testing. Though they were only Mortal Level, they were all over a hundred years old, and each stalk exuded a unique herbal aroma.
He carefully took out a three-hundred-year-old Reishi Mushroom and placed it on the stone platform. The Reishi Mushroom was vibrant in color and emanated a rich, fragrant scent.
The disciple’s heart was filled with anticipation, his eyes locked on the altar.
As the Reishi Mushroom was enveloped by a mysterious membrane of light, the atmosphere in the room instantly grew tense. The disciple held his breath, awaiting the outcome.
Soon, a steady and solemn voice emanated from the Divine Statue: "One three-hundred-year-old Reishi Mushroom. Sacrifice successful. Reward: three Spirit Stones. Three sacrifice Points."
The Sect Disciple was stunned, staring dazedly at the three Low Grade Spirit Stones that had appeared on the stone platform.
A complex mix of emotions washed over him—a little disappointment, but also a hint of surprise. Although it was only a Mortal Level medicinal material, a three-hundred-year-old Reishi Mushroom could serve as a supplementary ingredient for Spirit Pills, making its value at an apothecary roughly the same.
But the Points... A flash of excitement appeared in his eyes. He immediately checked the information within the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal in his hand. Sure enough, his Points had increased by three.
"This is amazing!" The disciple’s face lit up, glowing with excitement. He immediately transferred all three hundred-odd Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch into the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal.
Next, he asked the Divine Statue, "To obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, what must I sacrifice?"
He was both nervous and hopeful, wondering if the Divine Statue would even respond.
He hadn’t expected a response, but to his surprise, one came. The Divine Statue’s answer echoed throughout the room, its voice like a great bell, striking the heart with its power.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is a special Elixir. It can be obtained by sacrificing materials of equivalent value, or it can be exchanged directly for Divine Statue Soul Crystals or Five Elements Spirit Pearls."
The Sect Disciple immediately took out a pen and paper and quickly jotted it down. A thoughtful glint in his eyes, he proceeded to ask other questions.
Meanwhile, in another altar room within the safe zone, the atmosphere was just as tense and mysterious.
A disciple of the Lingxi Immortal Palace stood before the altar. He clutched his Storage Pouch tightly, as if holding his very destiny in his hands. After a few quick trial sacrifices with ordinary items, he suppressed his excitement and suddenly pulled three heads from his Storage Pouch one after another!
The three heads were clay sculptures of Divine Statue Heads, startlingly lifelike. At the center of each forehead, a sparkling Divine Statue Soul Crystal was embedded, emitting a mysterious red glow.
These three Divine Statue Heads had been given to him by a Golden Core Steward from his Sect.
Following procedure, he placed the Divine Statue Heads on the altar platform, his eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. His heart pounded like thunder, and it felt as if he could hear the blood roaring through his veins.
He was originally just an in-name disciple of the Golden Core Steward, but was later summoned in private and entrusted with this secret affair.
This was the secret mission the Golden Core Steward had repeatedly emphasized. It would also determine if he could truly be accepted under the Steward’s wing and become his personal disciple. Everything hinged on this moment!
Just then, the Divine Statue’s mechanical, indifferent voice rang out in the room: "Three Divine Statue Soul Crystals. Worth nine thousand Points. What do you wish to exchange them for?"
And at that very moment, within the Realm of Dominator, Cheng Zongyang abruptly received a notification from his Ring Spirit Assistant.
