Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 563 - 312: Results and Gains, Sprinting for Six Inches!

At this moment, Jin Wuchen stood in place, his face extremely unsightly.

Swish!

After frowning and pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping across Qi Chuan, Qingyun True Monarch, and True Monarch of Yin and Yang.

The three of them remained as usual.

Having reached the Nascent Soul Realm, naturally, one could hide their emotions well, showing neither joy nor anger.

Frowning, he assessed the three for a moment before Jin Wuchen shifted his gaze away.

These three had not interacted with the corpse of the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon from start to finish, making it impossible for them to have taken that thing from the corpse out of thin air.

As for the area where the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon was discovered, initially, it was True Monarch of Yin and Yang responsible for scouting, which also doesn’t prove True Monarch of Yin and Yang did anything.

Firstly, True Monarch of Yin and Yang’s strength is not nearly a match for the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon.

Secondly, the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon is not a dead object; it moves freely on its own.

The first time, Cangjian True Monarch did not search thoroughly.

It’s possible this Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon ran from the area Cangjian True Monarch was responsible for to the area under True Monarch of Yin and Yang’s responsibility.

"The Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon was found, but its body held nothing. What’s going on..."

Jin Wuchen was momentarily engulfed in confusion.

Qi Chuan and the others silently watched Jin Wuchen ponder, no one interrupting since they were still in a hired status.

Time passed slowly.

"Could it be... there is a second Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon within the Broken Spirit Mountain Range?"

After a long contemplation, Jin Wuchen thought of a possibility, albeit unlikely.

Though the possibility is low, the stakes are high and cannot be ignored.

Upon this realization, Jin Wuchen turned to look at the three, saying, "Fellow Daoists, while the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon has been located, I must trouble you to search the Broken Spirit Mountain Range once more..."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Wuchen, since you’ve already slain the Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon and achieved your goal, why continue the search?"

At this, True Monarch of Yin and Yang felt a slight dissatisfaction and questioned.

Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch exchanged glances and also cupped their fists in agreement, saying, "Indeed, fellow Daoist Jin Wuchen, as per our agreement, we’ve completed the task."

"Rest assured, a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast Core will be given to you as promised. Should you find a second Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon, I’ll pay double." Jin Wuchen said calmly.

"That Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon, at Quasi-Great True Monarch level, is not likely to have a second one, the odds are too low..." True Monarch of Yin and Yang muttered.

Qi Chuan spoke, "Since fellow Daoist Jin Wuchen is willing to offer double, we are naturally willing to search again, hoping to find a second Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon."

Beside him, Qingyun True Monarch nodded in agreement.

Jin Wuchen nodded slightly at Qi Chuan, finding Qi Chuan quite proactive when rewards were involved, not bad.

With both Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch agreeing, True Monarch of Yin and Yang couldn’t refuse and reluctantly nodded.

Thus, Qi Chuan, Qingyun True Monarch, Ji Feng, and True Monarch of Yin and Yang all redefined their search areas and set off to search again.

Jin Wuchen then hurried back to the southern cliff of the Broken Spirit Mountain Range to guard, worried that during this gap, the second Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon might escape from the south.

In the days that followed.

Qi Chuan, Ji Feng, and the other four meticulously completed their search and returned to the southern cliff of the Broken Spirit Mountain Range to regroup with Jin Wuchen.

On the cliff, Jin Wuchen’s heart, which had been anxious for a long time, sank to the bottom when he saw Qi Chuan and the others return empty-handed.

However, he did not blame Qi Chuan and the others.

He knew that on this mission, except for Cangjian True Monarch, Qi Chuan and the others had all done their best.

Moreover, during this anxious wait, he also came to understand.

Disregarding whether there’s a second Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon in the Broken Spirit Mountain Range,

even if there is, it could have slipped out from the south during his battle with the first Flipping Abyss Earth Dragon.

It was indeed normal that Qi Chuan and the others didn’t discover anything this time.

"Junior Brother Ji, give them what they are owed."

Jin Wuchen waved his hand, his tone somewhat weary.

"Yes."

Ji Feng immediately stepped forward, drawing three prepared Jade Boxes from the Qiankun Bag, delivering them, imbued with mana, to the three of them.

Seeing this, a timely hint of joy appeared on Qi Chuan’s face. He immediately opened the Jade Box in front of him to check the Demon Beast Core inside.

Inside was a fist-sized blue Demon Beast Core.

The quality was indeed decent, belonging to the upper-middle tier among Tier Four Middle Grade Land Demon Beasts.

It could meet his needs for refining a Nascent Soul Pill.

Though not his primary objective, Qi Chuan still wore a hint of happiness as he cupped his fists towards Jin Wuchen to express his gratitude: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Jin Wuchen. The Ancient Spirit Sect indeed lives up to being a peak strong sect presided over by a Great True Monarch, truly honorable, I am impressed by Qi Chuan!"

Beside him, Qingyun True Monarch also opened his Jade Box to inspect it, finding it to be a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Pill of upper-middle quality, and he too expressed his gratitude towards Jin Wuchen promptly.

Seeing the fruitful gains of Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch, all so favorable, not far off, True Monarch of Yin and Yang couldn’t help but show a smile.

Then opening his own Jade Box with high spirits.

However, upon looking inside, he indeed found a Tier Four Middle Grade Demon Beast Core, but its quality was middle-lower, far inferior to those of Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch.
