A notification from the Spirit Realm Will came:
[You killed the Lion-Camel Dragon. Main Quest: Huge Crisis completed.] [Your reputation among the three clans of Emerald Ridge has greatly increased. Current reputation level: Revered.] [You obtained 1,500 Qing Clan Merit Points. Current accumulated Merit Points: 11,500.]
His reputation had shot straight up to Revered in one go. It was not purely from the quest reward; killing the Lion-Camel Dragon itself had brought Bai Pu a generous reputation reward.
The Qing Clan's Merit Points were the same.
Unfortunately, Bai Pu had joined the Qing Clan, but not the Stone Clan or Mystic Bird Clan, nor had he united the three clans of Emerald Ridge into an official force, so this time he had only gained shared reputation with the Stone Clan and Mystic Bird Clan—Revered—but had not received Merit Points from those two clans.
Bai Pu looked at the Lion-Camel Dragon's enormous corpse before him, walked forward, and put away the purple treasure chest hovering above it.
Suddenly, Bai Pu's Doomsday Long Spear became scorching hot. This was a hint from the artifact spirit: it had developed an intense yearning for the Lion-Camel Dragon corpse before it.
Bai Pu thrust the Doomsday Long Spear into a gap in the Lion-Camel Dragon's wound.
The Doomsday Long Spear was like a small black hole, sucking the surrounding Spirit Energy Particles together with the Lion-Camel Dragon's soul into itself, turning them into nourishment for its advancement!
Bai Pu checked the notification.
[Artifact spirit recognition Trial Mission: Proof of the King has been completed.] [You have gained the approval of the Doomsday Long Spear's artifact spirit. New skill of the Doomsday Long Spear unlocked.] [Your weapon: Doomsday Long Spear has advanced to Tier 2 equipment. This process will take 15 minutes.]
*Good, good. Fifteen minutes.
