Hundred-Billion Experience Quest!

With a thought, Xiao Yang took out a Moonlight Stone.

The pitch-black cave was instantly illuminated by the Moonlight Stone.

He could finally see what the rock wall before him looked like.

The rock wall was extremely smooth, clearly carved by human hands.

Xiao Yang began probing the wall with his soul power. He remembered there seemed to be a mechanism on it.

Soon, in an inconspicuous corner near the bottom of the wall, he spotted a slightly protruding spot.

An ordinary person would have found it difficult to notice. Without searching bit by bit, they would never find it.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang gently pressed the protrusion.

The next moment, a series of sounds rang out from within the rock wall, distinctly audible in the silent cave.

"Click, click, click!"

The rock wall before him slowly slid aside, revealing a passageway.

Xiao Yang looked inside and saw a faint glimmer of light at the end of the passage.

Knowing there was no danger within, Xiao Yang walked straight in.

When he reached the end and turned his head, a stone chamber appeared before him.

Moonlight Stones were embedded across the chamber ceiling.

Under their glow, Xiao Yang clearly saw everything inside the stone chamber.

At the center of the chamber stood a stone seat, a stone tablet, and three stone boxes.

A skeleton rested upon the stone seat.

On either side of the chamber were piles of treasure and gold coins, along with a small flower bed.

Several kinds of rare medicinal herbs grew in the flower bed.

For example, Iceflame Spirit Grass, which could be used as an ingredient for fifth-rank medicinal pills.

Though there were not many herbs in the flower bed, every one of them was of the highest quality.

The moment Xiao Yang saw these things, a notification sounded in his mind.

Congratulations, player, for completing the side quest—Cave Treasure Hunt!

Player reward: Universal Experience +50,000, Shop Points +1,000,000, one random Magical Beast Mountain Range treasure map!

Prerequisite quest completed. Side Quests 2 and 3 unlocked!

The next moment, two more quests appeared before Xiao Yang.

[Side Quest 2—Find the Fragment Map: The owner of the cave treasure seems to have hidden a treasure map. Please find it.]

Reward: Universal Experience +50,000, Shop Points +1,000,000, one Supreme Naling, one Sixth-Rank Flame-Control Pill.

[Side Quest 3—Treasure of the Magical Beast Mountain Range: Follow the map rewarded by the system to find the treasure buried deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.]

Reward: Universal Experience +1,000,000, Shop Points +5,000,000, Low Earth-Tier Battle Skill Burning Flame Palm.]

Hiss—

Two more side quests had appeared at once!

And the latter one actually rewarded five hundred thousand Universal Experience!

The instant Xiao Yang saw the quest rewards, his eyes turned red.

He had never received so much Universal Experience before!

Not only that, there were also five million Shop Points.

Those points could buy quite a few good things.

Looking at the rewards before him, Xiao Yang was practically drooling.

He first claimed the previous quest's rewards, and a map immediately appeared in his system space.

Xiao Yang was in no hurry to collect the cave's treasures. They were not going anywhere.

He took out the map and began examining it.

After looking it over, Xiao Yang found that the map was very complete.

The marked location was not in the outer region, but in the inner region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Though it was not quite at the core, Fourth-Order Magical Beasts might still appear there!

Those were existences comparable to Dou Ling experts!

One careless move, and Xiao Yang might end up as Magical Beast dung.

However, if he improved himself a little, Xiao Yang felt that it might not be impossible!

Besides, he would soon be able to cultivate a flying battle skill.

With a flying battle skill, as long as he did not encounter a flying Magical Beast, he would have no trouble escaping even if he ran into another Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

After all, Fourth-Order Magical Beasts could at most leap up and glide for a while. They could not keep flying indefinitely.

But Xiao Yang, who could restore his Dou Qi at any time, could fly over long distances with ease!

Without hesitation, he accepted both quests.

There was no penalty for failing them anyway.

After accepting the quests, Xiao Yang put away the map.

He planned to complete Side Quest 2 first.

The moment he saw that the quest required him to find a hidden treasure map, Xiao Yang knew it was the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Fragment Map.

Xiao Yang walked directly to the skeleton.

Looking at the skeleton before him, Xiao Yang bowed respectfully.

"Sorry, Senior. Please forgive the disturbance."

Then he crouched down and first removed the three stone-box keys from the skeleton's hand.

He then looked toward the bones of the skeleton's right hand.

With a sweep of his soul power, Xiao Yang saw a scroll of map hidden within the skeleton.

He carefully took it out.

The next moment, another system notification sounded in his mind.

Congratulations, player, for completing Side Quest 2—Find the Fragment Map!

Player reward: Universal Experience +50,000, Shop Points +1,000,000, one Supreme Naling, one Sixth-Rank Flame-Control Pill!

Before Xiao Yang could react, another quest appeared before him.

[Side Quest 1—Collect the Demonic Flame Maps: Please collect all four Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Maps. This is a staged quest divided into three stages. Each time you collect a fragment map, you will receive a stage reward.

Stage One Reward: Universal Experience +100,000,000, Shop Points +300,000,000, one Heavenly Flame Selection Pack ranked 15–23.

Stage Two Reward: Universal Experience +1,000,000,000, Shop Points +1,000,000,000, one Heavenly Flame Selection Pack ranked 10–15.

Stage Three Reward: Universal Experience +10,000,000,000, Shop Points +3,000,000,000, one Heavenly Flame Selection Pack ranked 5–10.]

Looking at the quest before him, Xiao Yang froze in place.

Ten... ten billion experience!

Not only that, there were hundreds of millions of points!

Even the Stage One reward alone included one hundred million experience and three hundred million points!

Most importantly, there was even a Heavenly Flame Selection Pack!

After all, Xiao Yang already knew the exact location of one Heavenly Flame Fragment Map!

It was with Hai Bodong!

The location of the fragment map in the Black-Corner Region was still unknown, but as long as Xiao Yang did not cause too great a butterfly effect, he would definitely see it at the Black Mark Auction House later.

The final fragment map would be more difficult to find. He would need to wait for the trade fair in the Central Plains to begin.

The trade fair in the Central Plains would likely not begin for another dozen or so years.

However, if Xiao Yang had sufficient influence, he could also try searching for it himself.

Even if he became extremely powerful in the future, that Heavenly Flame Selection Pack would still be incredibly useful!

He could directly choose the Living Flame ranked fifth!

The Living Flame currently had an owner, and Xiao Yang could not simply go and steal the Heavenly Flame of a ninth-rank Xuan Pill Grandmaster.

Even if he had the strength, he could not casually steal someone's Heavenly Flame when that person had never offended him.

After all, that person was not some utterly evil villain.

If he could obtain this selection pack, he would gain the Heavenly Flame most coveted by alchemists.

The Living Flame could not only provide immense vitality and prolong one's lifespan, but could also ripen medicinal herbs!
