Treasure Hunting

Chapter 32 An Cultivation Boosting Pill

"Do it. I'm incapacitated already anyway. How worse could it be to ruin a few more meridians! I'm going through a hell lot of pain right now. You can't possibly make it any worse," Zachary replied miserably.

His words stung Elva; she quickly realized the truth that he was badly incapacitated by his injuries. And her words would only hurt Zachary even further. She was not an inconsiderate and heartless person who would inflict further pain on someone suffering a lot. And in fact, she never really intended to kill Zachary in the first place. He had touched and kissed her already. If she reignited her anger each time she saw Zachary, it would not change anything. It was pointless to hurt Zachary now, especially since he had suffered a lot already.

"Fine, it's water under the bridge. But you must keep it a secret. If anyone finds out about it, I'll definitely kill you!" Elva threatened.

"I will never let anyone know about what happened that day. Elva, you're really a warmhearted person! You are not only beautiful, but also very kind. You're like an angel who came down from heaven..." Zachary exclaimed.

"All right, stop the ass-kissing. Just keep moving!" Elva said. She blushed a little when she heard Zachary's words of appreciation. She took a deep breath, returned to her usual cold expression and walked on.

'The misunderstanding between us should be considered resolved. And that sub-quest should be considered complete.' Zachary felt relieved. That was because if he cleared their misunderstanding, he could complete and clear the sub-quest of Eliminate the Misunderstanding.

'Next, I should prepare for the selection test. I will have to show everyone in the Welkin Sect of my power and make Elva admire my skills, ' Zachary thought to himself as he watched Elva walk away.

He thought about it and he knew that it wouldn't be an easy task to make Elva love him. It seemed fortunate that Bruce beat him so badly that it made Elva feel sympathetic to him. Without the injuries he received from Bruce, there was no way that Elva would have forgiven him.

When Zachary thought about Bruce, he couldn't help but feel angry. His heart suddenly pumped faster, 'There will be a time of reckoning for what Bruce did. I swear to it!'

Zachary followed Elva on his way to the Pill Hall of Welkin Sect and got a bottle of second-grade white therapeutic pills. He tried to take the opportunity to converse with Elva, but she had other plans and didn't give him the chance.

"You should hurry back and heal yourself. I'm going back to Bamboo Gully," Elva said.

"Aren't you going to help me? I was hurt so badly. I'm afraid I won't be able to heal myself properly. But if you help me, maybe I will get better soon," Zachary replied. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Your injury could not be healed by the stewards or even the leader, let alone me... I know what you're thinking. I advise you to give that up!" She left Zachary without waiting for Zachary to reply.

Zachary felt the coldness of Elva's words as he watched her walk away once more.

"Does she know that I'm hitting on her? She isn't stupid after all, then? She turned me down before I even had the chance to tell her. This sucks! But she doesn't know that I am not someone who gives up easily. This is just the beginning. Well, there was a time when I was an ace at chasing girls. I once chased the most beautiful girl in the school without failing. If I fail to chase the aloof beauty of the Welkin Sect, I will become a laughingstock!" Zachary said to himself with a sly smile.

Elva felt an odd cold feeling from behind her. She felt so strange that she turned suddenly to where Zachary stood mere moments ago, but he was no longer there.

"He's really not that annoying to be honest," Elva said to herself subconsciously and then walked on.

Zachary was left homeless when the treehouse burnt down. But the treehouse was only a facade for him. He spent most of his time in the second world anyway. Thus, the burning down of the treehouse was not a big inconvenience to him.

But in order to prevent suspicion, he went to the bamboo forest and cut some bamboos. He then took some rags from the shed and built himself a tent under the charred tree where the treehouse once stood.

After setting up the tent, Zachary entered the system once more.

"Congratulations for completing the sub-quest—'Eliminate the Misunderstanding.' You'll get a treasure reward, a second-grade..." Mimi greeted as soon as he entered the system. Everything was as he had expected.

"You now have access to the last sub-quest in the series. Once you complete this sub-quest, you will complete the main quest 'First Awakening of Love, ' and will be rewarded with a Cultivation Boosting Pill based on your existing cultivation level," Mimi continued.

"A Cultivation Boosting Pill? What does it do?" Zachary asked after hearing Mimi mention the reward.

"The pill can enhance a grade of your existing cultivation and it can only be obtained through main quests," Mimi explained.

"Cool! That is amazing! Unfortunately, it is only available through main quests," Zachary said in a tone that hinted of regret. But since a Cultivation Boosting Pill took its user directly from the current grade to the next, it could be considered a very powerful advantage. He was eager to obtain that pill.

"You can now access the next sub-quest in the series," Mimi said.

"This annoyingly difficult series of quests is finally coming to an end. I hope the very last sub-quest is not the craziest of them all..." Zachary said. He felt both eagerness and anxiety. He was eager to get the quest because ending it would mean that he would be able to get the next main quest afterwards. He felt anxious because it might be the craziest one in the series. Another reason why he wanted to complete the main quest was for him to get the treasure reward once the quest was completed.

"You have received the last sub-quest—'Unforgettable Moment'—and you must sleep with Elva in the same bed and you must have skin contact. There is no requirement to the time and place..."

Zachary rolled his eyes and said, "Mimi, why is this quest so crazy? Are you sure you didn't read the wrong quest?"

"I am one hundred percent sure," Mimi answered.
