Chapter 236 The Third Task
Chapter 236 The Third Task
"Tyson, I have an idea. What if we give the extra two thousand gold coins to Kristen? If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the Black Marsh!" Ricky suggested after doing some thinking.
"Yes. She definitely played a huge role in helping us get out of there alive," Tyson agreed with Ricky, nodding.
"Well, it's settled then!" Ricky also nodded.
"But don't just tell her when she wakes up. I'm sure she wouldn't agree. We'll have to do it secretly," added Tyson.
"Got it!"
……
After resting and cultivating for a day and a night, Ricky and Tyson regained their strength. The battle really cost them a lot of energy.
However, Ricky didn't use his Devourer Zone and Chaotic Fire Zone in recovering. He knew that when he recovered through cultivating and training, he would learn from the experience he got from combat. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Both Ricky and Tyson developed a better understanding of the realm, one step closer to reaching the next realm. It was the perfect time to cultivate in isolation. However, since Kristen was still in a coma, all they could do was cultivate and rest while keeping an eye on her.
And suddenly, Kristen came to her senses, which also roused them from cultivation.
"Kristen, how are you feeling?" Immediately, both of them asked out of concern.
"I'm fine. I can move but I don't think I'll be able to see anything for the next two months. I might need you guys to help me until that's over," Kristen said, worrying that she might trouble them.
"Ha-ha, don't worry, Kristen! As far as we know, Russell would love to take care of you!" Tyson couldn't hold his laughter.
"Shut up!" However, Kristen wasn't embarrassed one bit. Instead, she turned to Tyson with a cold face. "Tyson, if you dare say that again, I wouldn't mind giving you a taste of my power."
"No! I'm sorry, Kristen," Tyson waved his hands with fear.
"Ha-ha!" Ricky laughed too.
Ricky went out of the cave to hunt small beasts for food. They were all hungry and finished their barbecues pretty quickly. Tyson and Kristen were impressed by Ricky's cooking skills.
Once they fully recovered their energy, they began to pick out the cultivation resources they wanted from the storage ring. But of course, the price of the resources they chose couldn't exceed ten thousand gold coins.
"Russell, I suggest we take the gold coins because these Treasures from Heaven and Earth and medical herbs aren't much help to us now. We can just take the coins and trade the Treasures from Heaven and Earth at a higher stage in the Sky Manor," suggested Tyson.
"Tyson is right, Russell. Ten thousand gold coins, plus our own gold coins, we can trade the Treasures from Heaven and Earth at a higher stage. It would be totally worth it!" said Kristen.
"I understand, but I'd like to take some Bone-building Pills." "I need a lot of Bone-building Pills because of my body refining cultivation method," added Ricky.
He didn't tell them that the real reason was he had a feeling that once he broke into the next grade of Bone Reinforcement, he would need a lot of pills of the same level like how it was when he broke through Skin Refinement.
"By the way, Russell. Please tell me honestly, at which level is your body refining cultivation method?" Tyson asked curiously when he heard Ricky.
"You know, the Iron Golem that the Chief gave me is at the intermediate stage of Black Level. But I can feel that your cultivation method of body refining is much more powerful than mine!"
"You have a good eye, Tyson!" Ricky grinned.
"Of course, I may not be able to identify other cultivation methods but I did my research in terms of body refining!" Tyson said confidently with intense curiosity in his eyes.
Kristen was also very curious, because she was already familiar with Tyson's capabilities but knew little about Ricky's.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not sure of the exact level of this method, but from what I could tell in my cultivation, it should be at the advanced stage of Black Level," Ricky paused for a while and then whispered.
"I knew it! I could tell it was at the advanced stage of Black Level!" When Ricky had confirmed it, Tyson replied out of shock.
"The advanced stage of Black Level, huh? Russell, you're pretty good at hiding what you can do," Kristen also exclaimed in surprise.
Because they didn't have any cultivation method at the advanced stage of Black Level, they were envious. But still, they would never take it from Ricky.
"Well, I just got it from one of my quests. I'm just a lucky dog. Unlike you guys, you got the formal methods from the Sky Manor!" Ricky said modestly.
"Fine. I can use my Iron Golem to trade for your body refining method!" Tyson laughed loudly.
"Knock it off!" Ricky said, pushing him away.
……
A few moments later, the three of them chose what they needed. Ricky chose over one thousand Bone-building Pills, about four hundred gold coins worth; over one hundred Recovery Pills, about a hundred gold coins worth. Then he changed what was left into gold coins.
Tyson and Kristen also selected some Recovery Pills and some other pills which could help them recover their spiritual energy. Then they did the same with the rest.
"Now, what is the third task, Kristen?" asked Ricky.
Their faces turned serious after hearing Ricky's question.
Kristen said slowly, "Do you know there is a vast area on the periphery of Sky Manor called the Chaotic Region?"
"Chaotic Region? Yeah. I know it. That is exactly where I wanted to go before I cross paths with the both of you," replied Ricky.
"So you probably know that whoever gets there may have a chance to be an innate spiritual king," Tyson asked seriously.
"Yes. I've heard that before. That place would not possess the Eight Demi-immortal Forces, if it had no benefits," Ricky said slowly.
"If you knew that, things would be much easier!" Kristen continued. "The Chief told us that the opportunity to become the innate spiritual king will appear in two years."
"In two years?" Ricky pondered.
"Yes, in two years. The third task is to dominate the Chaotic Region in two years and seize the opportunity of becoming the innate spiritual king!" Kristen said firmly.
"But to dominate the Chaotic Region in two years isn't an easy task. You know, it's not so easy to become a demi-immortal," Ricky responded with a low voice.
"That's why it is challenging, Russell. And it can also push us to make great progress and not be surpassed by other Royal Sky Guards. We can further improve our skills in combat!" Tyson said with great determination.
"So, I'm looking forward to going to the Chaotic Region!"
"Ha-ha, now if you put it that way, there is no way I would say no." Immediately, Ricky laughed ambitiously with no trace of hesitation on his face!
"Well, then the next goal for the three of us is to dominate the Chaotic Region!"
