Free Web NovelChapter 28: Mission, Provoking the Tiger Gang-1
Shen glanced once toward the cultivation room at the end of the pavilion before looking back at Darius.
"Can I use it now?" Although he already knew the answer, he still couldn’t help but ask. The images of Luke’s miserable fate were still fresh within his mind.
Darius casually nodded. "The ordinary room is on the left. The advanced one is on the right."
The system had already created a small corridor in the back where the old ordinary room once stood. At the end of the corridor were two doors facing opposite sides, one leading to the ordinary cultivation room while the other led to the advanced one.
Darius himself had no idea when the system finished all of this. However, after witnessing its methods repeatedly, he no longer bothered questioning such things. The system’s means were simply unfathomable.
Shen hesitated briefly before asking another question.
"The mission won’t disappear if I enter now, right?" He was genuinely worried that if he stayed inside the pavilion too long, someone else might somehow take the mission away from him.
"It’s already registered under your name," Darius replied while calmly organizing the papers on the desk. "Unless you fail or die, nobody can take it from you."
He then added casually, "Besides, the target usually moves around at night under the guise of his work. You still have several hours before the best opportunity appears."
Hearing this, Shen finally relaxed inwardly.
Truthfully, after witnessing Luke’s fate earlier, even he no longer dared behave casually inside this pavilion. The fear and mystery surrounding Darius had already deeply rooted themselves within his heart.
Without wasting any more time, Shen directly headed toward the advanced cultivation room.
Moon silently watched from the side.
Even he was somewhat curious now.
A cultivation room worth ten spirit stones per hour...
Just what exactly made it so special?
Any also stared toward the room with nervous eyes. Although she had already experienced the ordinary cultivation room before, she herself had no idea what the advanced room contained.
Still...
She vaguely had a guess.
And that vague guess alone made her restless.
Unfortunately, she had not prepared enough spirit stones today. Even if she begged her master, ten spirit stones was still an enormous amount for someone at her level.
At this moment, she truly felt conflicted.
Should she leave and gather spirit stones first?
Or should she stay and follow Shen on the mission later to split the rewards?
"No," Any muttered inwardly while rubbing her hands. "I’ll join the mission first."
Soon, Shen arrived before the door.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly pushed it open. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The next moment—
His pupils violently contracted.
Boom!
An incomparably dense wave of spiritual energy rushed toward him like a tidal wave before the door automatically shut behind him.
Outside the room, Moon’s brows slightly furrowed.
He himself had sensed absolutely nothing from the outside. However, Shen’s reaction the moment the door opened clearly wasn’t fake. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Inside the room, Shen stood frozen in place.
His legs refused to move.
No...
It was more accurate to say that he had become too shocked to even remember how to walk.
The spiritual energy inside the room was simply too dense.
At this moment, he finally understood why the room cost ten spirit stones.
No...
He suddenly felt that such a price was absurdly cheap.
From his experience using guild cultivation rooms before, the difference between this place and those rooms was absolutely enormous. He even had the vague feeling that the spiritual density here was over ten times greater than many cultivation rooms he previously experienced.
Shaking his head, Shen’s heart pounded wildly as he quickly sat down cross-legged without wasting another second.
Soon, strands of spiritual energy rapidly gathered toward his body at several times the speed of normal cultivation.
If ordinary cultivation rooms increased cultivation speed by three times...
Then this room was at least five times faster.
Maybe even more.
Shen’s calm expression gradually changed.
’With a cultivation room like this... who even needs elixirs?’
He was deeply shocked.
At this moment, he genuinely felt thankful that his sister had somehow stumbled upon such a terrifying place.
Time quickly passed.
Before Shen realized it, an entire hour had already gone by.
Outside the pavilion, dark clouds covered the sky while the atmosphere turned increasingly gloomy.
Moon remained seated silently while Any continuously paced around the pavilion anxiously, occasionally glancing toward the cultivation room door.
As for Darius...
He calmly leaned back against his chair while inwardly waiting for one thing.
The mission reward.
Compared to spirit stones, what he truly cared about right now was the system reward after the demon was killed.
Money was important.
But becoming stronger was infinitely more important.
Creak.
Suddenly, the cultivation room door slowly opened.
Shen stepped out.
His red hair was slightly messy while traces of disbelief still lingered within his eyes.
Unlike Any previously, Shen forcefully suppressed most of his reaction.
Still...
His slightly trembling hands betrayed him completely.
He silently stared toward Darius for several moments before finally speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Pavilion Master..."
Shen paused briefly.
"That room is worth far more than ten spirit stones."
He truly could not stop himself from saying those words aloud.
Even knowing that such praise might eventually increase the room’s price, he still felt that the current cost was simply unbelievable for what the room offered.
Darius merely smiled faintly without replying.
On the side, Moon’s calm eyes finally fluctuated heavily for the first time.
Because Shen...
Was not the type of person who exaggerated things.
’Joining the pavilion doesn’t conflict with the Demon Suppression Office,’ Moon thought seriously.
’Should I just become a member as well?’
At this moment, he truly felt tempted.
