Chapter 83

This task is clearly about the Elder of the Alchemical Cauldron needing a few ingredients for refining a pill, but not wanting to waste time gathering them, so he assigned it to the disciples below to focus on refining the pill.

Such tasks are extremely rare; even if you take on a hundred tasks, you might not encounter one.

More importantly, the reward for this task, the "Hundred Meridian Pill," is highly attractive to Lin Xi.

"Hundred Meridian Pill, I didn't expect something like this to appear!"

Lin Xi was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling. When luck comes, it can't be stopped; when your hands are cold, someone warms them; when you're sleepy, someone gives you a pillow!

Lin Xi had read about the Hundred Meridian Pill in the "Pill Section" of "The Great World of Immortal Dao."

This pill can unblock meridians and ensure smooth flow. It is more important than the "Lodging Herb."

The people who need this pill are, more accurately, not the named disciples but the outer gate disciples.

The crowd erupted in shock because an outer gate disciple spotted this task. Outer gate disciples should have priority in accepting tasks. Only if they don't want it would it be passed to the named disciples.

But the outer gate disciples didn't get it, while the named disciples did, which naturally caused some anger among the outer gate disciples.

"Hundred Meridian Pill, this is it! With this, I can immediately advance to the Qi Condensation Realm, leap to the top, and become an outer gate disciple, enjoying the sect's pill benefits!"

Lin Xi thought to himself.

Named disciples cannot enjoy any sect benefits. Only by becoming an outer gate disciple can one enjoy the benefits of the sect's "Qi Benefiting Pill" and "Qi Supplementing Pill." And by becoming a formal disciple, one can obtain the "Qi Enhancing Pill" and even the "Life Extending Pill"!

These benefits are only available after becoming a formal disciple.

Lin Xi pressed his finger and accepted the task without hesitation.

"What's going on? Why can't I accept this task?!"

A string of curses came from his ears.

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, but at that moment, a line of text appeared on the light screen in front of him: Task accepted successfully.

"Finally got it."

Lin Xi sighed in relief, didn't say much, took the Lu De token, and walked out of the crowd.

At the same time, the task of obtaining the Hundred Meridian Pill on the light screen in the task hall quickly disappeared.

"The task has been assigned. Now, we just wait for him to take the bait."

In the task hall, a figure stood in the shadows, watching Lin Xi leave, a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

...

Lin Xi quickly returned to his room.

"Camilla!"

Lin Xi pushed open the door and called out.

The room was quiet, with no sound.

Lin Xi frowned and walked towards the bed.

"Camilla—"

His voice cut off abruptly as Lin Xi saw the alluring scene on the bed, his breath almost stopping.

There, the vampire queen Camilla lay naked on the bed, her Daoist robe already torn, revealing her snow-white, smooth skin.

Compared to when Lin Xi left, Camilla seemed to have undergone some changes, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Her breasts were still firm and proud, but her curves had become even more slender and graceful. Her snow-white, full breasts, her slender waist like a water snake, her smooth, jade-like abdomen, and her long, beautiful legs...

At this moment, the vampire queen was beautiful in every way, exuding an irresistible allure.

The vampire queen's cold, noble, and elegant queenly aura was already irresistible. Now, she had an added charm that was almost fatally alluring!

Especially exaggerated was the fact that, perhaps due to the effects of the Thunder Master's pill, Camilla's cheeks were flushed, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she was breathing softly, emitting a soul-stirring sound.

Lin Xi immediately felt a surge of heat, his blood rushing, his heart pounding.

"How... how could this be?"

Lin Xi's breathing was rapid, and he didn't know what to say.

Heaven knows, he had just accepted a task and hadn't even broken through his martial arts bottleneck, and now he faced this kind of test that would make even a sage like Liu Xiaohui falter.

He was just a seventeen-year-old boy, not a monk who has transcended all desires. Did he really need such a test of willpower?

Sigh!

"Never mind," Lin Xi sighed, thinking to himself, "I might as well give in to avoid being criticized by readers!"

Just as Lin Xi was about to give in to the vampire queen's repeated temptations, Camilla woke up with a soft moan.

"Master, you're back?"

The vampire queen Camilla opened her eyes, her gaze clear and natural.

For the vampire queen, being naked was the most natural state. Wearing clothes was the strange one.

Lin Xi was snapped out of his daze by her clear gaze, and all his desires vanished.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xi nodded and asked with concern:

"I just came back from the task hall. — How is your body? I feel like you're different from before."

"Master, I drank your blood and recovered some of my strength. I didn't expect that human pills would be effective for us vampire succubi. However, the first time absorbing the pill's power, my body was very uncomfortable."

Camilla explained.

Lin Xi checked through the Ancestor Contract and found that the vampire queen's strength had indeed increased significantly, almost matching the black-robed man at the first level of Qi Condensation. He felt relieved.

The stronger Camilla was, the more help she would be to Lin Xi. This meant that Lin Xi had a Qi Condensation Realm powerhouse by his side.

"That's great. By the way, I've accepted a task for the Hundred Meridian Pill. We'll be leaving soon for the Black Dragon Space."

Lin Xi said.

"Dragon?"

Camilla was taken aback. Dragons have a natural intimidating presence over other races.

"Yes, dragon. Aren't you the one who loves drinking blood? Black Dragon blood would be very useful to you. What, are you afraid to drink it?"

Lin Xi said calmly.

As long as it involved blood, the vampire queen couldn't resist, no matter who it was from.

Sure enough, at the mention of dragon blood, Camilla's eyes brightened:

"If there's really dragon blood, taking a risk would be worth it."

Camilla, being a demon, had a natural fear of dragons. However, this didn't mean dragons were invincible.

Dragons are the kings of all beasts, and this power is deeply ingrained in the souls of all beasts. Even if they transform into demons, this fear and awe don't change.

Camilla's fear came from this.

When the urge to drink blood overcame her fear of the Black Dragon, Camilla immediately regained her calm and rationality.

"By the way, Master, how did you get such good luck? You needed the Hundred Meridian Pill, and it immediately appeared as a task?"

Camilla asked immediately.

Once a vampire succubus makes the "Ancestor Oath" and completely submits to someone, they will think entirely for that person and become particularly sensitive to anything related to their master.

Lin Xi didn't mind and recounted how he accepted the "Hundred Meridian Pill task" at the task hall.

"Master, is there something wrong? The outer gate disciples didn't get it, but the named disciples did. And it happened when you were checking the tasks. Especially, the reward is the Hundred Meridian Pill, which you need so much?"

Camilla, who had initially asked casually, now felt a clear suspicion.

As a special being who had lived for hundreds of years, the vampire queen only believed in facts and was always skeptical of coincidences.

Lin Xi was silent, his eyes thoughtful.

"Occasionally, the sect elders might assign a temporal task that skips the outer gate disciples and falls to us named disciples. However, what you said makes sense. The Long Clan has significant influence within the Divine Dawn Sect. They didn't succeed in killing me last time and won't let it go. Setting a trap using my situation this time is not impossible."

Lin Xi said calmly, his eyes showing wisdom.

"Then why did you accept it?!"

Camilla was worried.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Xi waved his hand, showing great confidence:

"Whether it's a coincidence or a deliberate move, I'm determined to get that Hundred Meridian Pill. If it's a deliberate move by the Long Clan, that's even better. Why shouldn't I accept their offer? Moreover, the Long Clan doesn't know my true strength. If they dare to use this opportunity to attack me, I'll use this chance to cut off their influence within the Divine Dawn Sect. I'll kill one if they come one, and I'll kill two if they come two!"

Although Lin Xi hadn't reached the Qi Condensation Realm, his thick true qi was already on par with a first-level Qi Condensation powerhouse. Moreover, he had the mid-grade magical tool "Golden Giant Cauldron" from Great Thunder Immortal. Even against a second-level Qi Condensation powerhouse, he could still fight.

Besides, the environment in the Black Dragon Space is complex. Even if he can't win, he can still escape!

"Master, you're really amazing!"

Camilla's eyes shone with admiration. The vampire succubi are naturally unable to resist a strong and powerful master.

"Master... why don't you—"

Camilla leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and whispered a few words.

"No, no... let's not!"

Lin Xi's ears turned red, his heart racing, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the vampire queen's snow-white, firm breasts.

This little demon is really shameless and knows how to seduce!

But where should it be?

There are ears on the other side of the wall; this place is too risky. Let's change the place.

Lin Xi's gaze quickly scanned the surroundings.

"Hehe, if you don't want to, then forget it, my little master..."

The vampire queen giggled, exuding charm, and flashed away from Lin Xi, sitting by the sandalwood table.

"..."

Lin Xi wanted to grab this demon and give her a good spanking!

...

Days passed, and Lin Xi practiced in his room every day, familiarizing himself with the new magical tool, the "Golden Giant Cauldron."

The vampire queen Camilla did her own thing on the side, only coming to Lin Xi to drink a bit of blood at certain times.

The vampire queen is very easy to maintain; she doesn't need any food. She only needs to drink a little blood every day.
