Chapter 1524: Chapter 1517

Is there a hint?

Xin Lin’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

When it comes to the hints from the Heaven-defying Book, Xin Lin must have immunity.

The task of acquiring twenty-year-old Spiritual Wisdom Grass hasn’t been completed yet, could it be there’s a new task coming?

"Life Book hint: Random task released, obtain twenty pieces of Five Luminaries Stone within the day. Task success will yield one Task Treasure Box. Task failure will result in either Spirit Master or Martial Artist Cultivation being reduced by one tier."

Once this task was released, Xin Lin’s face changed.

The task release forms of the Heaven-defying Book come in various kinds, but most tasks reward or deduct Silver Tael, Heaven-defying Value, and so on. It’s Xin Lin’s first time encountering one that directly decreases cultivation.

Although it’s unclear how the Heaven-defying Book would reduce her cultivation, this price is undoubtedly something Xin Lin cannot afford.

"Deal."

Without hesitation, Xin Lin didn’t wait for Bai You and Poison Venerate to speak again and directly handed four stalks of five-year-old Spiritual Wisdom Grass to Bai You.

Bai You spent five pieces of Five Luminaries Stone to buy previous stalks of Spiritual Wisdom Grass, then bid fifteen more pieces of Five Luminaries Stone, just enough for twenty pieces.

Poison Venerate’s face darkened.

However, regardless of how high the price, whether it was Bai You or Poison Venerate, neither was willing to pay more.

After all, their Qi Stones and Five Luminaries Stones were limited.

For a few stalks of Spiritual Wisdom Grass, a higher price wasn’t worth it.

Fortunately, Poison Venerate managed to buy ten stalks of Spiritual Wisdom Grass, Bai You got eight stalks.

Both could reluctantly accept.

Although Bai You was unhappy about being taken advantage of, the smile on his face appeared as he saw the Spiritual Wisdom Grass, and together with Sikong Ran, left joyfully.

Before leaving, Sikong Ran glanced at Xin Lin, his gaze somewhat profound.

Poison Venerate, though a bit unwilling, as a senior, was not about to lash out openly at Xin Lin, a junior. She glared at Xin Lin coldly and left the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss Tu Su, this time, it’s thanks to you and Young Master Xuan."

Manager Huang sent off the two individuals and sighed in relief.

"Manager Huang, I want to discuss something with you. This time, I want all the reward in Five Luminaries Stone."

According to the agreement between Xin Lin and the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce, the sale of Spiritual Wisdom Grass would be split by sixty-four percent, with Xin Lin getting sixty percent of the reward.

But Xin Lin did not want the Advanced Qi Stone, since with some effort, she could Qi Gather and make them herself.

What she wanted was those twenty pieces of Five Luminaries Stone.

She decided to exchange her sixty percent of Qi Stone for Five Luminaries Stone.

Fortunately, Manager Huang was easygoing; having observed Xin Lin’s strategy today, she realized Xin Lin was someone worth befriending, so she didn’t make things difficult for Xin Lin and handed over twenty pieces of Five Luminaries Stone.

A moderately heavy Treasure Box was delivered to Xin Lin, containing the Five Luminaries Stone.

"Life Book hint: Congratulations, life master, on completing the random task and obtaining twenty pieces of Five Luminaries Stone. Acquired one Task Treasure Box."

Immediately, a Task Treasure Box appeared before Xin Lin.

Without showing her emotions, with a thought, Xin Lin opened the Task Treasure Box.

Inside was a booklet titled Vein Opening Technique.

Another skill manual?

The last time Xin Lin acquired was a Hemostatic Skill, now becoming gradually skilled. This Vein Opening Technique seemed to be yet another skill book in medical arts.

Being in the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce, Xin Lin couldn’t directly inspect the booklet, so she casually stowed it away.

Xin Lin also stored the Treasure Box containing the Five Luminaries Stone into the Tuling hairpin and returned to the Tu Su Mansion.
