Chapter 12: Daily quest completed
And just like that… Tang Yue’s little white lie lit a fire in the elven royal consort, Isabella’s heart.
The lovesick woman was already teetering on the edge and was now completely pushed over to the dark side by the new snake in town.
And thus, after a few more minutes, Tang Yue wobbled outside tired from all the gossiping and the chatting.
This was the first time in several years that Tang Yue had been so chatty and friendly, and once again, she was harshly reminded of the cruel truth.
One might laugh and chat with you for hours together, but deep down most creatures are never to be trusted.
She quickly tasted the “special goodies” that Isabella had handed over to her with so much concern and love, and of course, as expected, the familiar notifications echoed in her mind.
Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.
Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.
Ding. A poisonous object has been consumed.
Ding. Poison Resistance has increased.
And to her surprise, Isabella had even more potent poisons in her possession, when compared to the queen consort, Charlotte.
With just the seventh gulp of the special tonic, Tang Yue’s daily quest was already completed.
Ding. Daily Quest completed
Ding. Poison resistance has increased to level 7
Ding. 5 Experience points have been rewarded
Seeing that the quest was completed, Tang Yue quickly hurried over to her chambers, which luckily was just a few yards away.
She conveniently dismissed Lotte and undressed hastily to observe if anything in her body changed due to this improved poison resistance.
She stood in front of the mirror and turned around a few times to observe her body, but, she didn’t notice any new change.
Maybe since it was just a simple upgrade of poison resistance from level 6 to level 7, nothing really changed. Tang Yue concurred.
Tang Yue surveyed her naked body for a few more minutes before donning herself into more comfortable clothes again.
She flopped down on her bed with her eyes closed. This was rather unexpected good news.
The whole upgrade thing was almost an invisible process with no pain whatsoever. So it didn’t matter even if she was out in the world and this happened.
Tang Yue had been slightly worried that she might have to go through a gut-wrenching pain again, every single time her body absorbed something beneficial and improved.
But clearly, that was not the case, and she was more than happy to get a confirmation of that!
“Let me check the updated properties.” She quickly willed open the status screen displaying her miscellaneous information.

Tang Yue nodded satisfactorily. Since her quest was completed, the poison resistance had been promptly upgraded to Level 7.
However, she couldn’t help but frown slightly when she looked at the gaping 195 experience points which she needed to progress to the next level.
If these random quests only give her 5 experience points at a time, it was surely going to take a long time to improve her strength.
If she just continued to rely on these flimsy little situations and borrowed resources for improving her body’s condition, her rate of development was definitely going to suffer.
At this pace, she might not be able to achieve anything significant and might even have to continue to be the useless trash stepped on by everyone.
So ultimately it looked like it was up to her to be proactive and increase her strength as much as possible.
As Tang Yue was racking her brain, trying to come up with a feasible solution to her big problem, she remembered a significant detail about the elves.
The Elven Empire was renowned for its progress in the art of alchemy, among several other ancient powerful arts. It was one of the reasons why the elves rose in power.
The elves had a natural affinity for the elementals and were able to wield fire, ice, and water at will, at the expense of their consolidated magical energy or mana.
Some elves were even able to wield something called the heavenly flames, a higher grade fire elemental.
These experts were particularly unparalleled in alchemy since their temperature regulation and pill constitution regulating ability was typically off the charts.
This was the main reason why the famous crown prince, Xander, was known for his unparalleled talent and prowess in alchemy.
He was an alchemy grandmaster, capable of even concocting heaven grade pills.
Tang Yue didn’t really care about the art of alchemy as such.
With her crippled cultivation base, unfortunately, it was a distant dream for her to even think about learning alchemy, let alone mastering it.
And she was also too broke to purchase any semi-decent pills and pop them one after another to improve her constitution.
So the thing that she currently cared about the most was the herbs themselves!!
