The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 15 The Monkey Who Can Make Alchemy

"Disciple instantly opens the Immortal form to greet Sect Master."

Immortal Miaokai had just spoken, his expression somewhat excited, as this was his first time conversing with the sect leader and accepting a mission.

"Since you are disciples of my Qingxuan Sect, there is no need for formalities. You all did a good job on this trip, helping the new disciple to guide his Qi into his body in just three days. The sect should reward you accordingly."

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, a notification popped up on the five immortals' panels, indicating that the mission was completed.

At the same time, 5 sect contribution points appeared in the account.

"However, once you join my sect, you must devote yourself to cultivation. You must not be arrogant because of your achievements, and you must not relax or slack off because of this." Zhou Yi solemnly instructed the players with a serious expression.

Upon seeing this, the Immortal who opened the gates quickly nodded, then seemed somewhat at a loss for words.

He wanted to trigger the main quest, but didn't know where to begin.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, not wanting to make things difficult for the young player, and said directly, "The sect has just been established, and everything needs to be rebuilt. Currently, many palaces in the ruins are still occupied by demonic beasts."

"In recent days, disciples from Lingtian have reported that demonic beasts have been frequently appearing in the nearby alchemy pavilion. If this continues, it may endanger Lingtian. After much deliberation, I have decided that someone must go and exterminate them. Are you all willing to make this trip?"

"Though facing countless difficulties and dangers, this disciple will forge ahead without hesitation to eliminate any hidden dangers for the sect!"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal of Instant Opening quickly replied.

There's only one chance to talk to an NPC, and he thought about these last lines for a long time before deciding on them. He wondered if they would increase his favorability.

Zhou Yi smiled and said no more.

Instantly activating Immortal Mode, he returned to the player team and headed to the Spirit Field with Wo Hu and the others, intending to inquire about information from there.

"Hidden Dragon, the sect leader just smiled at me. Should I increase my favorability with him?"

The immortal instantly ran to the dragon, his tone somewhat nervous.

After all, among so many players, it seems that only Qianlong and the Sect Master have increased their favorability the most so far.

Not only did he fight alongside the sect leader, but he also received his help, which made all the other players extremely envious.

"I guess so. As for the issue of favorability, I'm actually a little unsure myself," Qianlong explained with a smile.

"Okay... but then again, how should we proceed with this mission?"

As the Immortal said this, he brought up the task panel.

Main Quest: Recapture the Alchemy Pavilion

[Mission Requirement: Completely bring the Alchemy Pavilion area under the control of the sect]

[Task Reward: 10 Sect Contribution Points]

Wo Hu looked at the panel and said in a deep voice, "This task is probably not simple. There's no specific task process given. I think we should take it one step at a time."

Li Fan nodded in agreement: "Brother Wohu is right. We should focus on reconnaissance for now and avoid conflict with the monsters."

The group of seven quickened their pace and soon arrived at the spirit field.

"Hey boss, please save the kids! Yesterday we almost got wiped out by those mobs and became the first players to die on the entire server."

Cangfeng Mingyue stepped forward, her tone somewhat hurried, her face revealing a hint of grievance.

Qianlong stepped forward and patted his shoulder lightly: "Don't worry, Brother Cangfeng. If anything happens, just tell our Brother Wohu. Now that we've accepted the main quest, we should be able to take back the Alchemy Pavilion soon. Then you won't be in any danger."

Cangfeng Mingyue nodded, then turned his gaze to Wohu: "Boss Wohu, it's like this, last night, a group of unknown demon monkeys suddenly attacked us..."

Fifteen minutes later.

After hearing Cangfeng Mingyue's words, Wohu frowned slightly.

The enemy seemed to outnumber them more than they had imagined; there were three attackers alone.

Based on his many years of experience, he estimated that the number of monkeys in the Alchemy Pavilion, being the territory of the monkey troop, must be at least seven.

"This is a bit tricky."

As Wo Hu spoke, his expression became even more serious.

"What's there to be afraid of, Brother Crouching Tiger? I'm just a worthless life, so let's just chop it down. At worst, we'll die together. Anyway, in 24 hours, I'll be a hero again."

Da Baojian drew the newly acquired Green Bamboo Sword, his fighting spirit blazing.

Having killed so many monsters in the past few days, he felt incredibly powerful.

"You stupid big sword, Crouching Tiger is all about tactics, do you understand?" I'm not a sword immortal rolled my eyes at Big Sword.

Anyone can use a large numbers of people, but the real key is how to minimize losses and maximize gains.

Qianlong then chimed in, "Yes, Great Sword, we can't always rely on the Sect Master to save us from every crisis, can we?"

My family's chives are just beginning to grow.

Outside the spirit field, Zhou Yi, hiding behind a big tree, clicked his tongue in amazement. It seemed that the young players were quite ambitious.

Da Baojian sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, let's go with Brother Wohu to check out the situation first."

After saying that, the group headed east toward the spirit field, where the alchemy pavilion was located.

Zhou Yi followed closely behind, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Yesterday, he rushed to the Spirit Field to save the day and repelled the Crimson Flame Monkeys. After that, he vaguely felt that something was wrong—and now, thinking back on it, that strange feeling became even clearer.

The monkeys smelled strongly of medicinal residue, as if they had just crawled out of an alchemy room.

The problem is, this alchemy pavilion has long been abandoned, and there isn't a single person left. How can they refine pills now?

It can't be monkeys doing the refining, can it?

Zhou Yi shook his head, banishing the absurd thought from his mind, and continued to follow the group.

Before long, the group arrived safely outside the Alchemy Pavilion.

"The monsters here are quite clever; they know to put two of them guarding the gate," Qunxing said with a smile, his tone slightly teasing.

"To be honest, I feel like this dungeon is really difficult."

The great sword was sheathed, its previous sharpness greatly diminished.

Upon hearing this, I, who am not a sword immortal, smiled and shook my head: "Don't be too narrow-minded, brother. If the front door is blocked, we can look for a back door."

Da Baojian was stunned, clearly not quite understanding, but Wo Hu instantly grasped the meaning.

"The Sword Immortal is right. If the game is well-designed, the Alchemy Pavilion, as a crucial location for the sect, certainly wouldn't be just one location. Let's split up and search."

After saying this, Wohu immediately walked to the right side of the Alchemy Pavilion, and the others also dispersed and went to different locations.

"Brothers, I found it!"

The stars shouted and immediately ran around, gathering everyone back.

Zhou Yi was also drawn by the sound and secretly sneaked towards the direction of the stars.

To his surprise, the two Crimson Flame Monkeys at the main entrance seemed to be deaf, and did not react to the shout at all.

Zhou Yi hid in the distance, watching the players enter through the back door. When he felt that the time was about right, he then sneaked in as well.

But as soon as he stepped inside, a gasp of surprise came from the alchemy pavilion.

"Aren't these just a bunch of monkeys? How the hell can they even refine pills?!"
