  Huff……

  He took in a deep breath and then opened the prismatic treasure chest in front of him.

  As the prismatic treasure chest was opened, a scroll slowly floated into his view.

  He looked at the scroll’s stats with anticipation.

  Monster Transmutation System Level-Up Scroll: Special Item

  After use, the Monster Transmutation System would be upgraded. The required time for the upgrade is one week!

  Jiang Feng looked at the scroll in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately used it.

  At this level, Transmute Monster and Refine were both not that strong anymore.

  If they could become stronger after the upgrade, or a new skill appears, it would be of greater help to him.

  That was because it was getting harder to become stronger as he progressed through the game.

  Even if his powers had been increased and his stats were the top in the game, most of the enemies in the later stages of the game were quite powerful and possessed a multitude of skills. If he were to fight in groups, he would not be quite that overpowered, and he needed to put in more effort.

  After taking care of the Monster Transmutation System, Jiang Feng then looked at Uncle Hua next to him.

  “Hey, Uncle Hua. Your saliva…… Stop letting your saliva drip on it……”


  When he glanced at Uncle Hua, he then saw Uncle Hua staring at the Providence Pill to the point where his saliva was almost dripping on the pill.

  Uncle Hua smiled awkwardly and said, “This is my first time seeing the Providence Pill. I got way too excited! I didn’t think that you would be able to create the Providence Pill. It is truly beyond my expectations!”


  Jiang Feng humbly bragged, “I was just lucky.”


  “Shifter Emperor, seeing that your Pharmacist skill has already reached the level of Lesser Sacred Master, can you teach me your experience when you create pills?”


  “I wouldn’t call it teaching. Let us discuss instead.”
……

  Next, he and Uncle Hua chatted for a bit.

  He mainly explained his experience in Pharmacy to Uncle Hua.

  However, he did not expect that after explaining his experience to him, Uncle Hua’s Divine rank skill instantly broke through and reached Sacred rank.

  ‘I didn’t expect that simply by sharing my experience to the NPCs, it would be able to provide them with so much help!’ Jiang Feng thought to himself when he saw what had happened.

  After Uncle Hua’s pharmacy skill had reached Sacred rank, Jiang Feng then took back the Providence pill despite Uncle Hua’s reluctance and left the shop.

  “Now that I have completed two matters, I should go work on my quests next,” Jiang Feng said after he left the shop and checked on his quest panel.

  There was no need to rush the Creation of the Gods quest. If he was forced to, he could pick around 300 of those from the Shifters faction and then make them gods.

  He only had Ling Luo and Red Boy among the Twelve Knights of Despair. Originally, he wanted Hundun to join them but before he could give the ring of the Twelve Knights of Despair to it, it had already been slapped away by Tathagata’s duplicate after fusing with him last time. He was not even sure if it was alive or dead.

  But now, he needed to go and complete the second phase of the Awaken the Qin plot quest. Then, he could have Lu Bu and Zhao Yun join the Twelve Knights of Despair.

  “The God of Slaughter Bai Qi, the God of War Lu Bu, the God of Spear Zhao Yun. Now that Bai Qi has already entered the Manuscript of the Gods, I should then recruit the two gods!”


  He was not sure where Lu Bu was so he opened the message board and began his search.

  He could see from the Four Sacred Leaderboards that Lu Bu was at Rank Ten Lesser Sacred Master. He was at the top of the NPC Lesser Sacred Master Leaderboard.

  There were so many players in the game, and with his great power, there were definitely going to be plenty of players paying attention to him.

  After a short while, he then found news about Lu Bu on the message board.

  “In order to protect his wife Diao Chan, Lu Bu has been sucked into the Bottomless Pit!”


  The post was posted two days ago when he was away.

  There had been many views on the post as well, which said something about its popularity.

  There was even a video within.

  In the video, Lu Bu was covered in blood as his long hair flowed in the wind. He was very handsome and very manly. Despite only having very little health left, he still stood straight in front of the beautiful Diao Chan, and looked at King Zhou with murderous intent.

  King Zhou looked at Lu Bu with a cold smile, and held up a newborn in his hand, “Lu Bu, my advice to you is to offer up Diao Chan to me. I can guarantee your son’s survival. Not only that, I can even make you an officer in my army!”


  A drop of tear flowed down from his eyes as he pointed at King Zhou with the Sky Piercer halberd, and said coldly, “King Zhou, if you dare to harm my child, I will make sure that Tianzi City will never know peace!”


  “Does that mean you disagree?” King Zhou’s eyes narrowed as his hand clawing at the newborn tightened slightly. “If you will not, then I will do it myself. There are no women in this world that can yet escape my grasp!”


  Ah……

  Next, King Zhou tightened his grip. The newborn let out a cry and disappeared in a puff of bloody mist.

  “Ah…… you tyrant! I will kill you!” When Lu Bu saw that his own child had been murdered by King Zhou, he let out a sorrowful, angry roar toward the sky before heading straight toward King Zhou.

  Whoosh!

  However, he had only reached halfway when a nearby cave suddenly unleashed a powerful pulling force that sucked Diao Chan and him into it.

  When King Zhou saw what happened, he made a hasty retreat……

  The video was not very long, but Jiang Feng became very angry when he watched it.

  “King Zhou is becoming more and more tyrannical. I have to quickly increase my power and kill him!” Jiang Feng said angrily. He then used the ID card to change his identity and information and then headed toward the nearby teleportation circle.

  He knew from the video that the Bottomless Pit was located in the mountains to the south of Fushang City.

  He then used the teleportation circle to directly teleport to Fushang City.

  As soon as he entered Fushang City, he then heard the Japanese players’ accent.

  The city was mainly filled with players from the Japanese server.

  He did not stay in Fushang City.

  After he left the city, he then summoned the Somersault Cloud and used it to head toward the Bottomless Pit.

  “Look, it’s the Shifter Emperor!”


  “He doesn’t look like the Shifter Emperor though?”


  “What do you know? Only the Shifter Emperor has the Somersault Cloud. He must have changed his appearance and information as he did in the past.”
……

  As there were more and more players in Silvermoon, there were also more and more players in the sky.

  Therefore, Jiang Feng did not try to hide too much since there was nothing that they could do even if they knew it was him, as they could not defeat him.

  He did not pay much attention to the players that were on their flying steeds nearby. He increased his movement speed and turned into a bolt of yellow light as he headed straight to the Bottomless Pit.

  ***

  Xuanyuan Qi, who was in Fushang City trading, muttered to himself with suspicion when he heard that Jiang Feng was heading to the southern mountains, “Why is he going there?”


  In order to find out what Jiang Feng’s motive was, they also left Fushang City and were headed into the mountains to the south.

  He was not the only one. Some of the elites in Fushang City also chased after him.

  To them, no matter where Jiang Feng was, some treasure would always appear. Even if there was no treasure, it would be to their advantage if they could assassinate Jiang Feng.

  Of course, it also occurred to them that Jiang Feng might be heading to the Bottomless Pit.

  But it was just a thought.

  There were players that jumped into the Bottomless Pit to see if it was really bottomless.

  Unfortunately, all the players that jumped into the Bottomless Pit were ejected out after submerging in the Bottomless Pit for 24 hours. And they had even lost 5 levels without reason. After that, no players were bold enough to descend into the cave anymore.

  That was why they believed that Jiang Feng was not heading to the Bottomless Pit, and he had some other aim.
