Looking at the system settlement page that popped up in his view, Li Muyang clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely excited.
After struggling for so many days, he had finally cleared it perfectly!
After uncovering a hidden mission from the Dragon Spirit Fairy, the rest of the clearance process became easy.
Li Muyang was more than familiar with the process of fighting monsters and collecting resentful spirit treasure beads, smoothly steamrolling through it.
After joining forces with the Dragon Spirit Fairy to purify all the resentful ghosts and restoring them to their senses, Li Muyang brought out the special item [Military Annihilation Tiger Talisman] that burst out from [Great General He Jin] in front of all the regretful ghosts.
With the Tiger Talisman in hand, the Dragon Spirit Fairy convinced the now conscious resentful ghosts to swear allegiance.
They would set foot into the mist, scouting ahead for the Dragon Spirit Fairy until they found a safe route to the outside world to escort the Dragon Spirit Fairy back to the living world.
At this point, the game had been perfectly cleared, and Li Muyang finally saw the rewards for perfect clearance.
He had to say, although both were perfect clearances, the rewards for this game were much more formidable than those of the tutorial.
It wasn’t even on the same level.
The “Kunpeng Secret” is a Cultivation Technique, and while the system didn’t specify its grade, it was definitely a powerful secret manual.
After all, the two rewards listed alongside the “Kunpeng Secret” were also highly coveted by Li Muyang.
[Item Upgrade Charm: Can be used on one system item to enhance its grade and power by one level]
(Item currently eligible for upgrade: Fleshbone Cyan Garment)
[Unlimited Spiritual Artifact Forging Device: Upon use, forges a common Magic Artifact that possesses the trait of infinite growth, capable of evolving and upgrading, potentially transforming into an Immortal Artifact]
Li Muyang wanted all three rewards.
The “Kunpeng Secret” was a powerful Cultivation Technique, which he currently lacked.
The Cultivation Technique issued by the Refinement Demon Sect to Outer Sect Disciples was too rough, with an infuriatingly low conversion rate for harnessing Spiritual Energy.
So much so that Li Muyang had to meditate for one or two hours just to digest the meal of high-grade Spirit Rice every day.
If he had a powerful secret manual for cultivation, Li Muyang’s cultivation speed would be quicker, and he wouldn’t need to meditate for so long every day.
Meanwhile, the Item Upgrade Charm could increase the power of a system item.
The current Fleshbone Cyan Garment could already kill Core Formation cultivators. If Li Muyang could enhance its power to kill cultivators of the seventh grade or even higher… tsk…
If such a day came, Li Muyang would become Lu Ya of the Immortal Cultivation World, where with one command someone dies, striding across the realm unchallenged.
And the third reward, a Magic Artifact that could grow indefinitely and potentially evolve into the legendary Immortal Artifact…
“`
For someone like Li Muyang, who was unsophisticated in such matters, a low-grade Spiritual Artifact was already extremely rare.
Even within the Refinement Demon Sect, only the favored Direct Disciples possessed low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Immortal Artifacts were entirely the stuff of legends, no one had ever heard of anyone owning an Immortal Artifact.
A treasure that could evolve infinitely, with the potential to become an Immortal Artifact—even if it started as an ordinary Magic Artifact—was an object of envy…
“I freaking want them all!”
Li Muyang tossed and turned in his bed, his face twisted with vexation.
This reward was so substantial that even the usually decisive Li Muyang found himself with a case of decision paralysis.
After much agonizing deliberation, he gritted his teeth and chose the “Infinite Spiritual Artifact Forging Device”.
After all considerations, selecting the treasure from the three rewards seemed to be the best choice.
Secret techniques could not immediately translate into combat power, and Li Muyang didn’t have a strong need for them at the moment, considering he was only at the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, and the cultivation techniques of the Outer Sect were barely sufficient for him.
The “Item Upgrade Charm” that could boost the level and power of the Meat Bone Cyan Robe was certainly tempting, with the thrilling sensation of curse-killing enemies from afar. But the Meat Bone Cyan Robe could not engage in frontal combat and was limited to treacherous behind-the-back tactics, making its usage quite limited.
After thinking it over, it still seemed better to choose the treasure.
Although it was merely an ordinary Magic Artifact at the start, it was marginally adequate. Not to mention, this ordinary Magic Artifact had the potential for continual growth and the chance to become an Immortal Artifact in the future.
Moreover, this reward for an infinitely growing Spiritual Artifact was appearing for the first time; there had been no precedent, and Li Muyang worried that he might never again encounter this reward.
In comparison, it seemed that the Cultivation Techniques were the guaranteed rewards, as almost every quest completion could yield a book of techniques.
But if he missed out on this Infinite Spiritual Artifact now, who knew if there would ever be another chance.
So after much contemplation, Li Muyang ultimately selected the “Infinite Spiritual Artifact Forging Device”.
As he chose this reward, a burst of light exploded before Li Muyang’s eyes.
Within the golden light, flashes of thunder and flames flitted by, and a deafening roar sounded in his ears as if thunderbolts were ripping through the skies.
He saw an immense, vast sea, with terrifying tornadoes churning endlessly within.
Among the raging waves, legions of evil spirits wailed and screamed.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light streaked across the heavens, illuminating the entire ocean.
A mysterious wheel gleaming with golden radiance emerged between the sea and the sky.
The endless evil spirits in the sea cried out in terror upon seeing the wheel.
However, as the wheel turned slowly, emitting a shrill sound, the whole ocean was crushed by an invisible colossal force, and innumerable evil spirits turned to ash…
This mysterious and grandiose scene flashed before Li Muyang’s vision for a moment, then vanished completely.
When Li Muyang opened his eyes, he was still standing in his own tile-roofed house, with only the sound of insects at night outside.
But his hands felt heavier, for he was now holding a Spiritual Artifact.
It looked like a wheel, but the wheel’s surface was engraved with many ancient and mysterious patterns, filled with the breath of the ages.
Fingertips caressing the arcane patterns carved on the surface of this quaint and mysterious artifact, Li Muyang felt somewhat enraptured for a moment.
“An infinitely growing treasure…”
Li Muyang murmured to himself, his eyes bright with excitement.
Without a second thought, he began to refine it.
As long as he could assimilate the treasure into the Qi Sea within his Dantian, merging it with his soul, he would possess the first Magic Artifact of his life! Discover hidden stories at M-V-L
Even if it was just an ordinary Magic Artifact for now, it was enough to make the Outer Sect Disciples envious.
After all, many Inner Sect Disciples of the Refinement Demon Sect could only own ordinary Magic Artifacts.
