(PS: The explanation for the recent lack of updates is a bit long, so I've placed it in the author's notes. This paragraph is free.)
A massive snake, as thick as a water bucket and covered in purple-gold scales, suddenly shot out.
"So you're the Fifth-Grade Opportunity the divination mentioned!"
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up.
'It's a Purple Mansion Peak Demon Snake.'
'To think I'd find it without even trying after searching so hard.'
The Water Toad, Wood Centipede, Fire Scorpion, Earth Spider…
'Once I kill this golden snake, I can finally forge the Five Poison False Pill!'
"HISS—!"
The golden snake reared its triangular head, its vertical, emerald pupils filled with greed. Its gaze was fixed on the Blessed Land True Seed that Qin Xuan had just finished refining.
"Heh, you've got some nerve. I haven't even made a move, and you're already coveting my treasures, you beast?"
Qin Xuan's eyes grew cold, and he flicked his sleeve.
HUMMM—
