The Liang Emperor's Request, Purple Equipment
"Please ask again?"
Gao Yunyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You've already taken one Spirit-Gathering Pill."
Upon hearing the Immortal's words, Liang Emperor quickly replied:
"Your Immortal, I... uh... I did indeed take an Immortal Elixir, offered by the magistrate of Heyang County, which saved me from the clutches of Yanluo. Your Immortal Venerable is merciful, and I am deeply grateful."
Upon hearing this,
Gao Yunyi tapped his fingers on the armrest.
The Pill he had left for Zhang Huaimin before he left had actually been eaten by the emperor before him.
However, the Spirit-Gathering Pill is only a blood-restoring Pill; it shouldn't be able to prolong life or bring the dead back to life.
No wonder the old emperor wanted another Spirit-Gathering Pill; it seems he had already noticed the Pill's effects.
Liang Emperor had indeed already sensed something was amiss.
After taking the Immortal Elixir, he was indeed invigorated and full of energy at first, as if he had returned to his youth.
But soon,
He felt his physical strength and mental state were deteriorating day by day.
The feeling of his life force rapidly draining away terrified him.
This also made him realize that the Immortal Elixir only restores vitality, not lifespan.
It's like a funnel full of cracks; the sand inside has almost all flowed out.
Even if you fill it with sand, it will quickly run out as the cracks become more numerous and larger.
It's unclear whether Immortals possess any true Immortal Elixirs of longevity and immortality.
And even if it were possible, we can't ask for it now.
Otherwise, if one's appetite is too great and angers the Immortals, one might not even be able to obtain the Immortal Elixir that restores vitality.
Liang Emperor was very cautious and careful.
They dared not reveal their true desires to the Immortals.
Gao Yunyi had a lot of Spirit-Gathering Pills in his backpack, and after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he also refined more than a dozen Level Two Spirit-Stabilizing Pills.
It can restore far more Qi and Blood, Law Power than a level one Spirit-Gathering Pill.
So even if this old emperor were given a Spirit-Gathering Pill, he wouldn't hesitate to accept it.
But I don't know why,
He was very displeased with this old and decrepit emperor.
And there are no tasks yet.
Why should I give it to him?
Gao Yunyi has never had the good habit of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
Seeing that the Immortal was only tapping on the armrest and not responding to his request,
After thinking for a moment, the old emperor suddenly realized the truth.
So you wanted something in return.
I never imagined that even the Immortals in heaven could be so mercenary and pragmatic.
But it's better to be realistic.
It's not that I'm afraid of Immortals making demands, it's that I'm afraid of Immortals being without desires or wants.
"If the Immortal Venerable would grant me Immortal Elixir to extend my lifespan, I will take any treasure in the Immortal Venerable world that you desire."
"Vast territories, rare treasures, and tributes from all over the world—I will grant them all."
"If the Immortal Venerable desires the worship of all people, I can order the construction of numerous Immortal Shrines throughout the land, so that the entire nation may worship him day and night, for generations to come. As long as the Immortal Venerable speaks, I can grant any request within my power."
Liang Emperor spoke, his attitude sincere.
He is qualified to make this promise, and he has the ability to fulfill it.
In order to live for a few more months, Liang Emperor was completely desperate. The feeling of experiencing death was too terrifying and horrifying.
But these things,
Gao Yunyi had absolutely no interest.
"What if I wanted your throne?"
Gao Yunyi suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a profound meaning.
Upon hearing this,
Liang Emperor was stunned.
The throne
This was the thing he cared about most besides his lifespan.
He never expected that the Immortal in heaven would be interested in the imperial power of the mortal world.
A look of struggle began to appear on Liang Emperor's face.
Then it was as if he had made up his mind.
"If the Immortal desires it, I will issue an edict of abdication tomorrow and hand over the throne to him without hesitation."
Who would want your throne?
Being an emperor is tiring and troublesome; it's nothing compared to the carefree life of Immortal.
This old emperor was quite interesting; in order to live a little longer, he was even willing to give up the throne.
But what's the point?
His lifespan is almost over; giving him more Spirit-Gathering Pills would be like drinking poison to quench his thirst.
When the time comes,
He who is destined to die will die.
But it's strange,
The old emperor has pleaded so earnestly, why haven't we received any mission notifications yet?
Could it be...?
Gao Yunyi opened the task panel and saw the notification that the task was completed.
Then click "Complete Task".
Buzz--
A dazzling golden light rose from his body, pierced through the pavilion, and shot straight into the sky.
The crowd outside Welcome Immortals Tower, reluctant to leave, witnessed yet another miracle.
"What is this? Has the wish that Grandfather made to the Immortals come true?"
Standing atop the city wall, the Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Although he didn't know what wish his grandfather had made to the Immortal, whatever it was, it made him so envious and jealous that he was almost going crazy.
Immortal
No!
Look at me.
I'm your darling.
Inside the attic,
Liang Emperor was startled when he saw the golden light suddenly emanating from the Immortal's body.
What's going on?
Could it be that my promise just now was witnessed by Heaven?
Am I really going to hand over this vast empire to you without a second thought?
What exactly did I do?
In order to survive for a few months, they actually sold off the great empire built by their ancestors so easily.
Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong.
Chengqian is unfilial.
Suddenly, a feeling of regret began to grow wildly in Liang Emperor's heart.
After completing the task,
Gao Yunyi actually advanced two levels.
As expected of a red-level mission, the experience reward is astonishing. It was worth showing off all the skills, Spirit Pets, and costumes he could just now.
Not only is the experience gained amazing, but the item rewards are also incredibly generous.
They actually gave him a purple piece of equipment.
This is the first piece of purple equipment he has obtained since he came into this world.
[Moon Lotus Spirit Pendant]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Charm +10]
[Critical Hit Rate +3%]
[Defense +40]
[Experience bonus 1%]
[Special Effect: Lotus Blossoms with Every Step]
[Lotus Blossoms with Every Step: Wherever you step, Ninth-Grade Golden Lotus blossom out of thin air, shimmering with spiritual light and filling the air with lotus fragrance; your steps are untouched by dust; the lotus radiance cleanses away evil and soothes the mind.]
[Level: 20]
Such powerful attributes! Purple equipment truly lives up to its reputation.
But what's with this charm value? I've said it so many times, I'm playing the righteous Azure Profound Sect, not the demonic Hehuan Sect.
Never mind,
Considering how imposing your purple backup gear is, I'll let it slide for now.
Gao Yunyi happily equipped the Moon Lotus Spirit Pendant.
Now his equipment inventory is finally full, and he feels much better.
"Oh, right, repeat what you just said."
After obtaining the purple equipment, Gao Yunyi found Liang Emperor much more agreeable.
Liang Emperor: "..."
Although he didn't understand what the Immortals wanted, Liang Emperor still set aside his imperial dignity in order to obtain the Immortal Elixir to prolong his lost life force.
Then he repeated his plea again.
[Task: Liang Emperor's Request.]
[Mission Requirement: Grant Liang Emperor Spirit-Gathering Pill to prolong his rapidly declining life.]
[Quest Rewards: Experience Points: 700, Items:???]
[Would you accept?]
Such a cheap reward.
None of them are as noble as the love of scholars.
An emperor, indeed.
Gao Yunyi accepted the mission with disdain, then tossed a Spirit-Gathering Pill in front of Liang Emperor as if it were trash.
