A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

[Task 4: Go to the Gathering Spirit Pavilion and work as a salesperson for a day. Reward: 10 Spirit Stones, consumes 4 Action Points. Recommended Attribute: Intelligence. Recommended Skills: Appraisal, Speech Skills]

Han Buli: I feel like the third quest has something to do with alchemy? But I'm not interested in alchemy. Does the KP have any quests related to talisman making?

KP: The secret cannot be revealed, but the number of remaining tasks is the same as your remaining action points. If you come to the central hall earlier next time, you can refresh the 5 tasks and maybe you will get it.

Han Buli: I understand. I will go back and practice Qi training today.

KP: Okay, let the remaining three people go through the Qi Refining.

韩不立：灵气值，【1d30：26】x0.8（炼气二层85%）

Romeo: Spiritual Energy: [1d30:7] (79% for Level 2 Qi Refining)

Joan of Arc: Spiritual Energy: [1d30:22] (46% of the second level of Qi Refining)

Han Buli: I feel like I can reach the third level of Qi Refining tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.

Xiao Huohuo: I hope everyone is alright. (Puts hands together)

……

KP: Okay, it's Day 19. What are your plans for today?

Xiao Huohuo: I've decided. I'm going into seclusion starting today! I won't come out until the Outer Sect Competition!

Han Buli: Huh? Brother Xiao, are you serious?

Xiao Huohuo: Nonsense! Lin Yuxuan has already come to my doorstep to challenge me. How can a man of the Xiao family be so timid and lose his courage? Things change over time. Taking advantage of this outer sect competition, I will make Lin Yuxuan feel the pain of not bullying the poor young man!

Joan of Arc: I'm moved to tears. My brother has grown up.

Xiao Huohuo: You naughty sister, take your [Red Sun Sword] and get out of the way.

Joan of Arc: Okay. (Be good)

Xiao Huohuo: Speaking of which, I might need some Soul Gathering Pills for this retreat. Can you guys sponsor me first? (Rubbing hands)

Han Buli: Yiyu, since Brother Xiao is so ambitious, I will also support him. You can spend my spirit stones first.

Xiao Huohuo: Good brother!

Han Buli: If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. Give me a hand when I enter the inner gate.

Romeo: Then I'll give my spirit stones to you, Lao Xiao. After you enter the inner gate, remember to introduce some girls to the social gathering.

Xiao Huohuo: OK, I’ll introduce you.

Joan of Arc: What about my spirit stones... Oh, I don't have any spirit stones anymore. That's okay.

Xiao Huohuo: You, my little sister, are the most ignorant. (annoyed)

Joan of Arc: (Music)

KP: Okay, then I will go through Xiao Huohuo's retreat at one go. Xiao Huohuo, tell me about your actions during the retreat.

Xiao Huohuo: I will first go to the Gathering Spirit Pavilion to buy 5 Gathering Spirit Pills, and then start to retreat and refine my Qi. If I fail to break through during this period, I will go to the arena to practice [Flame Burning Steps] to restore my spiritual energy.

KP: OK, by the way, during your retreat you will not trigger any hidden tasks or character events in the arena, do you have any objection?

Xiao Huohuo: I object!

KP: ?

Xiao Huohuo: Sorry, it’s a conditioned reflex. I have no objection.

KP: Please start your performance. (half annoyed)

046 Retreat and Sprint! (Xiao Huohuo)

KP: After the battle with Lin Yuxuan, Xiao Huohuo, feeling spurred on by the situation, has decided to enter a period of seclusion. This retreat will last for 11 days, during which Xiao Huohuo is forbidden from visiting any other areas except the rest area and the arena. Xiao Huohuo, are you ready?

Xiao Huohuo: I'm ready!

KP: Then you can start to refine your Qi. Please note that if you go to the Gathering Spirit Pavilion and buy the Gathering Spirit Pill on the first day, the income from refining your Qi will be 20% off.

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to the third level of Qi Refining, 76/(20x2), failed.

Spiritual energy loss [1d10:9] (91% of the second level of Qi Refining)

Xiao Huohuo: The generous gift is revealed!

Romeo: It seems that even the Spirit Gathering Pill can’t save the eyebrow pencil.

Xiao Huohuo: You're cursing again?!

Han Buli: (uneasy) Lao Xiao, you wouldn’t be at the second level of Qi Refining after taking all 6 Spirit Gathering Pills, right?

Xiao Huohuo: byd, don’t curse me.

Joan of Arc: If that's true, then I'm going to report Xiao Huohuo to the sect for stealing my spirit stones to buy the Spirit Gathering Pill, and then I'm going to ask Master Xu from Bailian Cave to seek justice and make my stinky brother return my hard-earned money!

Han Buli: Support.

Romeo: Support.

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: Hahaha.

Xiao Huohuo: No, can't you guys just have a little confidence in me? (half annoyed)

Han Buli: emmm

Romeo: emmm

Joan of Arc: emmm

Xiao Huohuo: ...

KP: Alright, alright, stop fighting with pictures and get back to practice.

Xiao Huohuo: Refine! Just do it! Refine! (Earthshaking)

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to the third level of Qi Refining, 38/(20x2), success!

Xiao Huohuo: Okay, okay! Heizi, speak up!

Han Buli: He passed it in two attempts? The Soul Gathering Pill is nomadic.

Romeo: There's no black spot. You know, I've always been Xiao Bai!

Joan of Arc: Watch your face.

KP: Not bad, not bad. Then on the night of the 22nd day, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, Xiao Huohuo's whole body made crisp sounds like popping beans, and he successfully broke through to the third level of Qi Refining!

KP: Xiao Huohuo's HP and MP increase by [1d7].

Han Buli: Queshi is fast.

KP: On the 28th day, Xiao Huohuo's spiritual energy value reached the maximum value again, and he began to break through the most critical fourth level of Qi Refining!

Xiao Huohuo: Let's succeed at once, okay? Dice Lady Autumn Pear Paste!

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining, 77/(20x2), failed.

Spiritual energy loss [1d10:1] (99% of the third level of Qi Refining)

Han Buli: I was sweating profusely.

Xiao Huohuo: No... No! And Yudi!

KP: Tomorrow is the crucial outer sect competition. Xiao Huohuo locked himself in the room and paced back and forth for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind and sat cross-legged to start the final breakthrough.

Han Buli: Will I win, Lao Xiao?

Xiao Huohuo: ... (too nervous to speak)

Xiao Huohuo: Breakthrough to the fourth level of Qi Refining, 2/(20x2), great success!

Xiao Huohuo: What the hell?

Han Buli: Holy shit!

Joan of Arc: A killer kill!

Romeo: Handsome, Lao Xiao, handsome!

Xiao Huohuo: Is this true? Did I read the dice correctly?

KP: It's true, you got a sure kill, and because of the great success, you gained an additional [1d50] Aura points.

萧火火：灵气值【1d50：37】x1.2（炼气四层44%）

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, a million non-Africans’ crushing punches, nothing else can stop me!

Romeo: Quack! What a mouthful!
