Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 2 Millennium Stalactites

Xu Hao looked around vigilantly and ran cautiously towards the twelfth building wall on the south side of the palace.

This is an extraordinary world, and the palace is not as strict as it is in TV dramas.

Xu Hao moved forward carefully along the road he was familiar with.

He would rather take a longer detour and be safer than rush over.

Because nothing is more important than his life, and what's more, the opportunity panel shows that as long as he arrives before midnight, it will be fine.

There is still some time until midnight.

At the same time, a powerful evil human in black robes took advantage of the chaos to rush into a palace villa. He walked to the bottom of a luxurious bed with ease, moved the covering stone slab away, and took out a wooden box hidden inside.

"Found it. It's worthy of being a thousand-year-old dynasty. There are so many treasures!" The man in black was full of joy.

He is not a member of the White Lotus Sect, nor is he a person in the palace. He practices evil ways. The reason why he came here tonight during the chaos is because he accidentally obtained a treasure map, and the treasure map shows that it is here.

At first, he didn't believe it, but after some means, he confirmed that the treasure map was taken out by a palace maid in the palace.

Now I found an opportunity during the chaos and got the treasure chest.

The evil warrior in black robe quickly opened the wooden box.

The first thing that catches the eye is a fist-sized black stone inside.

"Is this the sealing stone?" The knowledgeable black-robed evil warrior immediately showed an expression of ecstasy.

The sealing stone is a method used in ancient times.

Rumor has it that it can only be sealed when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reaches a certain level, the purpose of which is to preserve the medicinal properties and special effects of the treasures of heaven and earth.

In other words, among the seal stones, the worst ones are treasures of the heavenly level.

Even though it may be lowered in level after years of baptism, its essence will not change.

This is a rare treasure.

"I didn't expect that such a treasure could be found in any random treasure map. No wonder the maid didn't bring the seal stone out. However, this is only the outer stage where such treasures can be found. What about the interior of the palace? Moreover, the palace was built on the land of the previous dynasty. I wonder how many treasures are hidden underground and in the buildings!"

The black-robed evil warrior sighed, but then he restrained his thoughts.

The reason he was able to enter the palace this time was, firstly, because he had the treasure map, and secondly, because a powerful force was attacking. If it were any other day, he would definitely not dare to come.

After all, no matter how good the treasure is, you have to be alive to get it.

The black-robed evil warrior quickly put the black stone into his arms, then grabbed some gold leaves that he could carry, put the wooden box back to its original place, pushed open the window, and ran out.

"There is still a fish that has slipped through the net!" With a roar, a streak of arrow streaked across the sky and hit the black-robed evil warrior hard. The powerful impact force caused the black-robed evil warrior to draw a graceful arc and fall heavily to the ground.

This attack was so powerful that it couldn't even make the black-robed evil warrior scream.

"Master Qianhu is so mighty, he can shoot arrows through the air from a hundred paces away!" The other guards shouted hurriedly.

"The rebels here have been eliminated. Leave one team here, and the rest follow me to the east gate!" The leader of the guards shouted, and took the lead, rushing to the east side of the palace.

The remaining team dispersed to look for any fish that had escaped the net.

At this moment, Xu Hao had just arrived in front of the twelfth building when a black shadow flew over and hit him heavily in front of his eyes.

With the help of moonlight, Xu Hao saw clearly that the person falling was a man in a black robe, and was stunned for a moment.

The figure was already dead, with an arrow piercing through his chest.

Extremely tragic.

"It's true that a body will appear before midnight. It will happen as it's promised!"

At this moment, Xu Hao had a better understanding of the opportunity panel.

The predictions of good and bad luck are accurate to the minute!
Xu Hao quickly approached the now-dead body of the black-robed man, suppressing a trace of disgust as he began to search the corpse for any opportunities. Xu Hao had seen many corpses along the way, so he was used to it.

Xu Hao poked it with his long knife.

A fist-sized black stone rolled out from the black-robed man's chest.

The black stone was stained with some smelly blood and internal organs.

"Is this the opportunity to reach the human level?" Xu Hao picked up a piece of rag, wiped the surface of the black stone, and then picked up the black stone through the rag.

The moment Xu Hao touched it, a message appeared:
[Millennial stalactite, sealed within the stone skin using a special technique, but due to its age, much of its medicinal properties have been lost, making it a human-level treasure.

Swallowing it directly has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow, and improving one's understanding.

Xu Hao opened his mouth wide.

This thing can actually cleanse the bones and marrow?

No wonder he said it suits him, it is really what he urgently needs!
It was completely tailor-made for him.

With it, Xu Hao has the foundation for growth.

In the extraordinary world, who doesn’t want to be strong?
Who doesn’t want to control their own destiny?

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

Moreover, this is just the beginning. When his status is improved, he will get more and more incredible opportunities in the future with the help of the opportunity panel.

Xu Hao had an idea and directly put the black stone in his hand into the backpack of his opportunity panel.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Hao restored everything to its original state, wiped off his traces, put the rags into his backpack, and then he quickly ran to his duty area.

Xu Hao glanced at the almost dried blood on the corpses around him and immediately shook his head.

Xu Hao spread the bloodstains around him on his robe to make himself look more miserable. After dressing like this, he began to pretend to be dead.

He had already seen the mystery on the opportunity panel.

As long as the time does not conflict, the options on the opportunity panel can actually be selected multiple times.

When he got the opportunity to become a human, he could choose to win the lottery and pretend to be dead, or he could choose to win the lottery and go to the west side of the palace and pretend.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Xu Hao decided to pretend to be dead in his duty area, which was safer.

Even if it means less monetary reward.

But it's safer this way.

However, Xu Hao didn't care. He had just obtained the opportunity to become a human-level being and had some gold leaves, which was enough. All he had to do next was wait for the rebellion to be over.

At the same time, just after midnight, a group of people came to the fallen body of the black-robed evil master.

"Hey, someone has moved here!" a guard said.

Because they needed to retrieve Qianhu's arrows, they checked them carefully and could not be careless at all.

"Whatever, as long as the arrows are intact, that little thief probably doesn't have anything good. Hurry up, we still have other places to clean up!"

This time and scene exactly match the description on the opportunity panel. Once Xu Hao misses the time and arrives at midnight, he will happen to meet this group of people and will not get the human-level opportunity.

Everything seems to have been destined.

Boom boom boom.

As Xu Hao lay in a corner pretending to be dead, waiting for the dawn to return and cultivate to obtain the opportunity to attain the human rank, the ground beneath the palace shook continuously, and a scorching sun rose in the deepest part of the palace during the night...
