Chapter 519: Struggles
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Elsewhere, the Black Bear Emperor and Dog Emperor were not having a good time.
The speed at which they increased their strength was very slow, as they had no way to obtain immortal stones or resources. They had been working hard, but for very minimal rewards.
At this moment, they were back at Sacred Emperor Academy.
The Black Bear Emperor and the Dog Emperor, whose faces were pale and covered in injuries, staggered to the mission hall to hand over the mission.
The receptionist in charge of handing over the mission glanced at the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor and said coldly, “Level 3 mission completed. The reward for this mission is 5,000 immortal stones. The mission hall’s cut is 20%, so here are your 4,000 immortal stones!”
BoxNovel.comAfter saying that, the receptionist threw out a bag with their mission rewards.
The Dog Emperor clenched his teeth as he held the bag. After exchanging a glance with the Black Bear Emperor, they split the contents of the bag in half, then left the mission hall in a sorry state.
“Dog Emperor! We can’t go on like this!”
“F*ck, I almost lost my life for only 5,000 immortal Stones, and one-fifth of it was taken by the mission hall.”
“How long do you think we’ll have to risk our lives to advance to the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm, or even past that?”
“Based on my calculations, it will take us decades of undertaking these missions, and each one is so f*cking dangerous!”
The Black Bear Emperor’s eyes turned red as he spoke, and his face filled with pain. He had wanted to make full use of this top-grade world, but he was even struggling to survive.
He had never thought that life at the Sacred Emperor Academy would be so difficult. Furthermore, if his strength did not improve at a steady pace, he would not be able to pass the assessments.
In fact, if one failed to improve after three assessments, they would basically be kicked out of the Sacred Emperor Academy. At the academy, only the strong and talented survived and excelled. The rest would fall by the wayside.
There were also assessments for each level of students…
The Level 1 students were the worst. They had to sit for the exams every year.
The Level 2 students were slightly more relaxed. They would take the examination once every two years.
The Level 3 students would take the examination once every three years.
The Level 4 students would take part in the examination once every four years, five years for Level 5, and ten years for Level 6.
As for why there were so many assessments?
Well, it was because the Sacred Emperor Academy never lacked students. Countless people were clamoring to join the academy, yet only a few would truly thrive.
This was why the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor were in such a sorry state. If they did not work hard, they would be eliminated and expelled from the academy.
Furthermore, it was not easy to break through and reach Tier 4.
The success rate was one in ten thousand!
Therefore, they were desperate for cultivation resources.
Faced with the Black Bear Emperor’s complaints, the Dog Emperor said helplessly, “There’s no other way. What else can we do? We can’t steal from others here, right?”
The Black Bear Emperor thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Why don’t we go look for Wang Mang? That guy should be better off than we are, right?”
“He’s a Level 4 student, and has access to more information. He might be able to help us think of a way.”
“No,” the Dog Emperor shook his head and said, “This guy has been missing for a while, and 1 haven’t seen him in a long time. We have to endure this hardship!”
However, right at this moment, the Black Bear Emperor suddenly exclaimed, “Look! It’s Wang Mang!”
Hearing this, the Dog Emperor hurriedly looked over and saw Wang Mang rushing somewhere. The two of them did not hesitate and immediately followed suit. They also wanted to know what Wang Mang was up to and how he was faring.
To their surprise, Wang Mang actually entered the alchemy area!
They had been to this place before, but they could not afford anything inside. The price of the pills were sky-high!
After he arrived at the alchemy area, he went looking for Boss Song. He smiled and said,
“Boss Song! Give me fifty portions of ingredients for each of these pills.”
Boss Song, who was flirting with another woman, looked up at Wang Mang in surprise.
“Eh? Could it be that you successfully passed the Pill Palace’s examination?”
Wang Mang smiled and nodded. He then handed over the list of herbs he needed.
These medicinal ingredients were all required for two Tier 2 pill formulas, but he had lumped them all into one list. This way, when he was buying medicinal ingredients, others would not be able to guess his pill formula.
After taking a look at the list of ingredients, Boss Song immediately said generously, “If it’s just these herbs, I’ll give them to you for free.”
“In the future, when you refine low-tier pills, you have to sell them to me!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded happily.
It did not take long for the staff in Boss Song’s shop to prepare the herbs Wang Mang needed.
After receiving the herbs, Wang Mang could not help but ask, “Boss Song, do you know a Tier 3 alchemist?”
Boss Song was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
“How would 1 know a Tier 3 alchemist?”
Seeing this, Wang Mang nodded and did not ask any more questions. He left the shop and began to stroll around the alchemy area. After a while, Wang Mang suddenly heard an argument coming from a remote shop.
Out of curiosity, Wang Mang took a glance when he passed by, and saw a middle-aged man, who appeared to be a Tier 3 alchemist, arguing with the shop owner.
The middle-aged alchemist said angrily, “Boss, you’re too evil! These are bona fide Tier 3 medicinal pills that 1 refined. You can’t offer just 60% of the market price for them!”
“Although I’m not a Tier 3 alchemist yet, these Tier 3 pills that I refined are genuine!”
Despite this, the shop owner ignored him and said with a mocking expression,
“It’s up to you whether you want to sell the pills or not.”
“If you think the price is too low, you can try your luck at other stores.”
“Since you’re not officially a Tier 3 alchemist, 1 have to find an actual Tier 3 alchemist to vouch for you and your pills.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was so angry that his entire body trembled. “This is too much! I’m not selling!”
With that, the middle-aged man grabbed his storage bag and walked out of the shop in a huff.
Seeing this scene, the shop owner’s face was full of disdain.
Wang Mang’s heart skipped a beat.
Seeing the middle-aged alchemist walk out, Wang Mang hurriedly followed him and asked enthusiastically, “Friend, please wait. You want to sell Tier 3 medicinal pills, right?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned to look at Wang Mang and said unhappily, “Who are you?”
