Epic-Grade Premium Term—Time to Hunt for Treasure!

Epic-Grade Premium Term—Time to Hunt for Treasure! In a small courtyard near East Street in White Cloud County Town lived Chen Yi's Third Sister, Chen Yun.

"Parents, bless Fourth Brother so that he can escape death. Elder Brother and Second Sister have been missing without a trace to this day. If Fourth Brother is gone too, how am I supposed to go on..."

At home, Chen Yun was burning incense and praying before her parents' spirit tablets.

More than three months had passed since Luoding Village had been massacred.

The incident had caused a tremendous uproar, and even now, the people of White Cloud County remained uneasy and fearful.

The imperial court had strictly ordered the local authorities to investigate the matter thoroughly and had even assigned the Dragon Protectorate to assist, yet the identities of those village slaughterers had still not been uncovered.

The moment Chen Yun learned that the village where she had grown up had been massacred, she rushed over at once.

While collecting the bodies of her family, she had not found the corpse of her Fourth Brother, Chen Yi.

So even now, she still held onto hope, hoping that Chen Yi had somehow escaped alive.

Knock, knock, knock...

Someone knocked at the door outside.

"Must be my husband returning from duty..."

When the door opened, the one standing outside was not Shen Qingshan, but Chen Yi, dressed like a young hero with a red longsword on his back.

"Third Sister."

"F-Fourth Brother? Is that really you?"

The moment Chen Yun opened her mouth, tears streamed down her face.

She grabbed Chen Yi's hand and touched his cheek. Only when she felt its warmth did she finally believe that this was not, as usual, merely a dream of reunion.

"Fourth Brother! This is wonderful! You're alive! You're back!"

The siblings embraced at their reunion.

Chen Yi stood a head taller than Chen Yun. She buried herself against his chest, crying until his clothes were soaked.

"Alright, Third Sister. You're already a mother—why are you still crying like some unmarried young girl?"

Chen Yi's eyes had reddened as well.

But in front of his sister, he stubbornly kept up appearances and forced himself not to cry.

"No crying, no crying. Neither of us will cry. Third Sister thought there was no one left in this world from my maiden family. I never expected Heaven to take pity and let you survive, Fourth Brother..."

Chen Yi noticed his little niece wobbling about the courtyard as she learned to walk.

"Shen... uh..."

Chen Yi nearly blurted out Shen Siqin, but fortunately his mind reacted quickly and he realized that was only her name in the simulation.

In reality, Third Sister and her husband had yet to name her, calling her Nannan all this time.

"This is my niece, right?"

"Come, Nannan. Call him Uncle."

The little girl had been raised very well. Her face was round and plump, and her tiny hands resembled little lotus roots.

"Un... Uncle... candy..."

Chen Yun said irritably, "This child—asking Uncle for candy the first time she sees him? Look how clever you are!"

Chen Yi lovingly picked Nannan up.

"If you want candy, that's easy. Uncle will take you to buy some right now. You can eat as much as you want!"

"Yay!"

Hearing that, Chen Yun hurriedly said, "Fourth Brother, don't spoil her like that. Besides, you barely escaped death—where would you get money to buy her such things?"

He still had to explain to Third Sister where he had been over the past three months.

But telling the truth would have been far too shocking.

Who could cultivate all the way to the fifth layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm in three months?

No matter how strong someone's Root Bone was, they could not advance that quickly.

So, on the way back, Chen Yi had already made up a story.

He could truthfully tell her that Dachun had pulled him into the water, allowing them to escape the massacre.

But for what came afterward, Chen Yi only said that he had met a kind old Martial Artist, who had fished him and Dachun out of the water.

The old Martial Artist had taught him a form of External Cultivation, allowing Chen Yi to gain Entry Level in the Martial Dao.

Not long ago, the old Martial Artist had gone wandering the world and could not conveniently take him and Dachun along.

So the two of them returned to White Cloud County.

Along the way, they had rescued a wealthy merchant attacked by wild beasts. To thank him, the merchant had given him some silver.

"So that's how it was... Don't spend that money carelessly. Save it for marrying a wife. Stay at Third Sister's home for now—I'll tidy up a small room for you."

While Third Sister went off to get busy, Chen Yi teased his little niece as he claimed the reward for the guidance mission.

[Guidance mission complete!]

[Reward issued!]

A bottle of pills appeared in Chen Yi's hand.

The moment he opened it, the fragrance of the pills rushed into his nose, refreshing his heart and soul.

It felt completely different from the inferior pills he had eaten in the military camp during the simulation.

"System-produced goods really are premium. With pills like these, as long as I don't eat too many at once, the Pill Toxin should be negligible."

The physical reward issued for this guidance mission was a bottle of ten Spirit Guiding Pills.

This was a medicinal pill used to assist in Spiritual Qi cultivation, capable of accelerating the gathering of Spiritual Qi.

In some Martial Dao sects, pills like these were necessities for disciples' cultivation.

A Term light orb appeared.

Just like last time, Chen Yi still had one chance to draw a premium Term.

Since he was now in the Spirit Gathering Realm, the probability of White Terms had dropped to 79%.

Thus, the light orb finally no longer looked like an endless sea of white. Green and purple points of light were no longer as scarce as needles in a haystack.

"Premium Term, you'd better live up to the word 'premium.' Come on, give me a good partner!"

Chen Yi slapped his palm down.

All the points of light vanished. Only a mass of purple radiance rapidly expanded, filling his vision!

[Treasure-Snatching Extraordinary Nose (Purple Epic): Good news: your nose can now smell the scent of supreme treasures within a certain range (related to your realm)! Bad news: if it isn't a supreme treasure, you can't smell it.]

The instant Chen Yi saw the purple glow, he knew it was in the bag.

Then he saw the effect and nearly got high from excitement.

"A Term that can hunt for treasure!"

Brothers, this was a fantasy world!

Not only did it have flesh-and-blood Martial Dao combat, it also had treasures beyond counting!

Even though Chen Yi had only simulated twice and had not even deeply entered the Martial Artist Circle, he had already encountered a supreme treasure—the Myriad Souls Banner!

If he could actively hunt for treasures, wouldn't that be incredible?

Chen Yi immediately equipped it, then sniffed through his nose.

"Seems like... I can't smell anything?"

Presumably, his realm was too low, so the detection range was not large. He would have to get close enough to a treasure before he could smell it.

Or perhaps, just as the description said, he could not smell it unless it was a supreme treasure.

He just did not know how "supreme" a treasure had to be before it counted.

After gaining this Term, Chen Yi suddenly pointed a finger toward the sky as an idea popped into his mind.

"Could I go look for the Myriad Souls Banner?"

During the second simulation, Old Liu's hair had started turning white after he returned to his hometown.

At the time, Chen Yi had assumed Old Liu had learned of his family's deaths and turned gray from overwhelming grief.

Looking at it now, there was an eighty-percent chance that he had obtained the Myriad Souls Banner then, and it had been draining his life force.

For now, Chen Yi only intended to take the Myriad Souls Banner in the simulation.

Naturally, he wanted it in reality too, but he first had to use the simulation to understand the Myriad Souls Banner's characteristics and gain enough strength to support himself.

Otherwise, it would be easy for everything to blow up in his face.

Without strength, holding the Myriad Souls Banner made one a demonic cultivator everyone had the right to kill.

With strength, what Myriad Souls Banner? This was the Human Emperor Banner!

However, whether in reality or in the simulation, Chen Yi did not intend to become a bloodthirsty maniac.

He could kill a few evildoers with a clear conscience, but indiscriminately slaughtering innocents crossed Chen Yi's bottom line.

Even the simulated Chen Yi was the same.

Besides, if he truly fed the Myriad Souls Banner through murder like Old Liu, it would easily draw pursuit from every side. That did not fit Chen Yi's basic guiding principle of living as many years as possible in the simulation.

But without souls to nourish it, what was the Myriad Souls Banner for?

Who said he had to kill people?

Kill demons!

Using Demon Souls to nourish the Myriad Souls Banner—wouldn't that be stronger than human souls?

With the "Has Demonic Aura" Term, would he still have to fear being unable to find demons?

Chen Yi was already looking forward to the next simulation. A broad road leading straight ahead seemed to have appeared before his eyes!
