The Task Entrusted to Yao Chen

As the two waited, other people gradually began to appear as well.

Once the number of people had more or less gathered, the first round of assessment came to an end. At this point, the Pill Tower elders arrived to announce the second round.

Soon, the entrance to the passage opened, and the group stepped inside.

This was a desolate plain. The earth was entirely a dusty yellow, occasionally dotted with sparse patches of green that gave off a faint hint of life and vitality.

From time to time, small magical beasts would dart across the plain, kicking up a trail of yellow dust before vanishing into the distance.

The silence of the Desolate Plain lasted for some time before Void Space suddenly rippled. A figure immediately flashed out from within the space.

After Lei Qi and Cao Ying arrived, Lei Qi quickly located Zi Yan through his perception. With their arrangement made in advance, they finished gathering the medicinal ingredients as soon as they entered. However, Lei Qi did not have Zi Yan leave the barrier with them. Instead, he had Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan choose another exit. That was no challenge for Zi Yan.

Of course, when they left, Lei Qi told her to bring Xiong Zhan along and thoroughly loot the place.

Lei Qi and Cao Ying were still the fastest to find the medicinal pills, but even so, it took them more than four days before they left the Pill Realm together. Mainly, they did not want their apparent conflict with the Pill Tower to become too obvious.

After leaving the Pill Realm, Lei Qi ignored the gazes around him and left after recalling something.

As long as he returned when the other contestants came back, he would naturally retain his final qualification to compete.
