Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Ten Million Points

"I reckon the bigwigs at Long Night Saint Dragon Palace never expected Dean Tan Yue to bring in such a monster this time, so they just nonchalantly made Brother Sikong an apprentice,"

Xu He further speculated, "Senior Sister Yu bringing Brother Sikong into the inner hall must be an attempt to pacify him."

Ge Rong agreed with this profoundly.

...

In a room within the Task Hall, Yu Yan closed the door tightly before turning to Sikong Jing and said, "I’m sorry, because your matter needs to be kept secret, I had to pretend not to know you for now."

Sikong Jing just smiled at this, clearly not bothered by such matters.

"Thanks to you, I became an Inner Palace student."

"And I’ve also become one of the three deacons of the Task Hall, specifically in charge of all your affairs and confidentiality work," Yu Yan added another phrase, unable to hide her joy.

It was precisely because of Sikong Jing’s affair that an order from Vice Palace Master Qin made her both an Inner Palace student and a Task Hall deacon.

This way, she could better handle the confidentiality work for Sikong Jing.

Wen Hu was also made a mentor deacon directly, and he basically took over the management of the Task Hall.

On hearing this, Sikong Jing laughed again and said, "That’s also because Senior Sister Yu herself met the requirements to be an Inner Palace student. I believe Sister could have become an Inner Palace student soon even without my issue."

Yu Yan smiled, which indeed was the complete truth. If it weren’t for Sikong Jing, she would have been close to entering the Inner Palace on her own.

Now, it just happened a step earlier.

Not dwelling further on this topic, Yu Yan went on to ask, "By the way, are you looking to post a task?"

"Yes, this is the content of my task." Sikong Jing did not hesitate, immediately pulling out the task he wanted to post, which was to write the two medicinal ingredients needed by Su Yuexi on a piece of paper and hand it to Yu Yan.

"Multi-bone Beast blood, Thousand Cold Red Lotus flower core...hiss!"

When Yu Yan saw the two medicinal ingredients Sikong Jing needed, she couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath.

Sikong Jing quickly asked, "Is it very hard to obtain?"

Staring at Sikong Jing, Yu Yan said with a wry smile, "These items are not just hard to get, they’re supremely hard to come by. I heard that a few years ago in Long Night Imperial City, a Thousand Cold Red Lotus flower core was auctioned, but the price soared to a hundred thousand Ming King Crystals."

"What’s a Ming King Crystal?" Sikong Jing asked swiftly.

Uh...

Yu Yan rubbed her aching head, recalling that Sikong Jing had just come out of Canglong Small Domain and didn’t know much about many things in the outside world. Something like Ming King Crystals, even three-year-old children in Long Night Empire would know.

"Light Crystals also come in grades."

"The most common are Light Crystals, and it takes a thousand Light Crystals to exchange for one Ming King Crystal. There’s also a higher quality Light Core Crystal, but I’ve only seen it once, so let’s not talk about that," she explained.

Sikong Jing was stunned; a hundred thousand Ming King Crystals amounted to an astronomical one hundred million Light Crystals. This was terrifying.

Although he was aware that these two medicinal ingredients were things even Yao Changgeng couldn’t obtain promptly and were certainly very rare,

he never imagined they would be terrifying to this extent.

After a moment of silence, Sikong Jing asked, "So, Senior Sister Yu, how many points do you think would be appropriate for me to offer?"

He had no concept of the value of points equivalent to Light Crystals.

Yu Yan thought for a while, held up a finger, and said firmly, "Ten million points, at least ten million points for one type of medicine."

Sikong Jing was completely astounded, glancing at the forty-one thousand points on his Apprentice Token and suddenly feeling very poor.

"And it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to accept the task, and even if they do, they might not be able to find it," Yu Yan emphasized again. "Of course, if you can offer a higher price, perhaps an Inner Palace student with the right connections might be able to get hold of them."

Many of the students from the Three Great Academies’ Inner Palace have significant backgrounds and are incredibly formidable.

Furthermore, some alumni who have completed their studies can still return to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to earn points, and many of these alumni have become influential figures with connections to the Holy Dragon Palace.

Yu Yan also informed Sikong Jing about these matters.

Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing finally said, "I’ll start by offering 800,000 points for the task, stating a minimum of 800,000, and if anyone has these two kinds of medicine, additional terms can be discussed face to face. Do you think this will work?"

Under these circumstances, Sikong Jing could only cast out his line and see what happened, whether he would catch any fish was up to luck now.

"Sure, but don’t hold out too much hope; 800,000 is really too little."

After saying this, Yu Yan suddenly froze and asked, "Sikong Jing, where did you get 800,000 points from?"

The previous 1.6 million points had already been exchanged for a day’s use of the Thunder Winged Dragon Snake.

Sikong Jing smiled and said, "Please give me another Green Jade Tube, Senior Sister Yu."

Instantly, Yu Yan was stunned, thinking that Sikong Jing couldn’t have invented another high-level Hong-grade Beast Skill, could he?

An hour passed, and Yu Yan watched Sikong Jing walk out of the Inner Palace, while she held a heavy Green Jade Tube in her hands.

Sikong Jing told her that the Beast Skill inside the Green Jade Tube was called the Thunder Wing Thousand Formation Blade.

It was derived from the Thunder Winged Dragon Snake.

"To create a high-level Hong-grade Beast Skill in a day by borrowing the dragon, just what kind of monster is Sikong Jing?"

Yu Yan’s mind kept trembling, but she had no doubt about Sikong Jing’s words.

Because she had already seen the Thunder Wing Thousand Formation Blade, it was identical to the attack methods of the Thunder Winged Dragon Snake.

"He came to the Holy Dragon Palace and created three Beast Skills in three days; how could Xingluo Palace not want such a person, a bunch of idiots."

Although Yu Yan didn’t know about Sikong Jing’s commotion with the Ancient Demon Dragon in Xingluo Palace, she did know that he was discarded by Xingluo Palace, which was simply foolish to an extreme.

Yu Yan took the Green Jade Tube, ready to help Sikong Jing post the task.

Meanwhile, after Sikong Jing left the Inner Palace, he saw Xu He and Ge Rong waiting for him in the Task Hall; he greeted them with a smile.

He knew they must be there to take him to the Da He Association.

"Brother Sikong..."

Xu He put on his sales persona again. Knowing that Sikong Jing was a monster, he felt it was very difficult to interact on equal terms.

Just as he was about to say something, a large group of people suddenly rushed in from outside.

Leading them was none other than Tao Huai from the Ancient Locust Society, accompanied by a man similar in appearance to him.

However, this man was younger and just as arrogantly proud.

Upon entering, Tao Huai saw Sikong Jing and Xu He, and he subtly signaled to the man beside him.

The man stepped forward, pointing at Sikong Jing, "Are you the ignorant new student who refused my cousin? I’ve heard you completed three regular tasks... I have, too, and now I challenge you."

This man was Tao Huai’s cousin, Tao Xie.

As his voice fell, Tao Huai and the others looked at Sikong Jing with sneers.

The same old story, they wanted to make it so that Sikong Jing couldn’t stay in the Holy Dragon Palace, to have him beg for mercy or leave the Holy Dragon Palace altogether.

And as Tao Xie’s words ended, the area fell silent.

Whether it was the on-duty official students or the people around, even Xu He and Ge Rong, their expressions were strangely peculiar.

"Let’s fight it out in the Combat Hall, dare you?"

Tao Xie, seeing the situation around him, puffed out his chest even more, feeling that everyone must have been shocked by him.

Heh heh, being able to pass three regular tasks on the first day as an apprentice wasn’t something any apprentice could achieve.

Even some of the new official students couldn’t manage that.

Now, issuing a public challenge only highlighted his invincible bravado even more.
