Chapter 19: Beast bloodlines
Chapter 19: Beast bloodlines
The next day Tang Yue promptly dressed up and left for the association to visit the two special chambers.
She didn’t want someone else barging in before her and stealing her precious trash!
And while she was en route, she received the day’s quest as well.
<Sneaky Snake System Quest Alert>
<New Quest Available: Upgrade your body constitution attributes to level 10>
<Reward: 50 Experience points>
“What? Why does this seem a bit too difficult??” Tang Yue was perplexed.
Though the quest gave her 10 times the normal experience points, it still seemed unreasonable.
She stared at the blinking lines for a while, wondering if she could really upgrade her various properties to level 10 just by consuming the random leftover dregs.
She could definitely sense a few problems about to crop up!
Her poison resistance was already stagnant at Level 8 no matter how much sludge she shoved into her stomach.
Judging by this occurrence, the other resistances could also be plateauing around the same level.
And of course, Tang Yue wouldn’t be surprised by this, since this was something she had expected for a while.
Just how long could she afford to eat these almost fully degraded medicinal waste and hope to gain something from it?
It was about time her special stomach revolted and asked for better grade items like fresh herbs.
Since her pockets were still pretty empty, her only option would be to add on to the palace tab in the vendor shops.
Exploiting the palace reserves for buying herbs? How could she dare to do this?
If the temperamental crown prince by chance gets offended or annoyed, then she would be skinned alive!!
Tang Yue pondered for a while and decided to first check the two special alchemy occupants from yesterday and immediately hurried to the association.
If she could access their dregs, then she might just be able to upgrade everything without spending any silver.
Tang Yue hurried to the alchemy association, but all her worries were for naught. Why would anyone rush over before her and do her trash cleaning duties in her stead?
The disciple elves were, as usual, rushing about here and there doing various duties.
Surprisingly, she even noticed several disciple elves carrying around multiple parchments and intently murmuring about after reading them.
She saw a familiar face and stopped the tall elf, Mila.
“What’s going on here?” Tang Yue furrowed her brows and asked Mila.
“Ah your highness, sorry. I should have informed you beforehand. We have a beginner tier alchemy test next month.”
“But your highness, it takes months to memorize all the herb details and their uses. Maybe your highness could take it next cycle.”
The elf immediately suggested looking at Tang Yue’s slightly dispirited face.
Tang Yue nodded and proceeded to head towards the practice chambers. Alchemy and the other arts… She can only think about them later.
She first visited the chamber, which Master Dranuk’s disciple had used and quickly collected the dregs from the cauldron.
She then looked around on all sides to make sure no one else was present and quickly gulped down a few chunks.
Tapping her feet on the messy floor, Tang Yue cleaned up the chamber a little while she waited, and just as expected the familiar notifications popped out.
Ding. A mid-grade poisonous object has been consumed.
Ding. Poison resistance has increased.
Ding. A mid-grade lightning attribute object has been consumed.
Ding. Lightning resistance has increased.
It looked like the healing potion brew required multiple mid-grade herbs of different affinities. These should definitely be more effective than the normal leftover!
Tang Yue grinned with satisfaction before proceeding to the elite loot spot, the chamber where the crown prince had practiced pill concoction.
The crown prince was barely here for half a day and on top of that, he was meeting with the other association masters while he was here.
So it was not like he could have concocted any heaven-grade elixirs.
And Tang Yue as well did not have any high expectations.
Fate had never been that kind to her, with epic items just falling on her lap.
She only wanted to progress bit by bit and was satisfied with just that much.
When her meridians were crippled and she could not cultivate, Tang Yue was completely abandoned.
She was not even given access to any of the clan’s treasured martial art techniques.
But she still earnestly practiced the basic martial art moves every single day and conditioned her crippled body as best as she could.
The proud woman was never afraid of sheer brute hard work.
Tang Yue hurriedly ran over to the specific chamber and quickly started cleaning out the dregs.
Surprisingly, unlike others, this particular mush had a liquid consistency to it.
And there was not much of the liquid remaining. Only a handful or so was leftover.
So Tang Yue quickly gulped down the liquid and cleaned out the chamber.
Loot collection successful!
Though the elite drops had been collected, she still had to run around and collect the other regular trash.
While she was busying herself with the chores, the notifications slowly started rolling in.
Ding. A high-grade poisonous object has been consumed.
Ding. Poison resistance has increased.
Ding. A high-grade lightning attribute object has been consumed.
Ding. Lightning resistance has increased.
Ding. High-grade beast blood has been consumed.
Ding. 0.001% of Phoenix bloodline absorbed.
Ding. 0.001% of bristle wolf bloodline absorbed.
Ding. 0.001% of wild feather tail absorbed.
Tang Yue instantly stopped in her tracks, completely shocked by the new information.
Not just herbs and poisons…
She was actually able to absorb beast bloodlines??
