Chapter 62 Much To Do

"Please train the three disciples personally before they enter the Celestial College," Lewis told the stewards. "That is all. You are all dismissed!" And with that, he took his leave.

The stewards followed soon after.

The disciples also left the hall one after the other.

"Elva!" Bruce called out as he walked out of the hall.

"Is there something wrong?" Elva inquired as she turned to look at him.

"Well, it seems like we haven't had a practice fight in a while. How about we find a place to train right now? I'd like to see how much you've improved," Bruce proposed.

"Can we practice another time? I have something else to do today," Elva answered with indifference before walking ahead and leaving him.

She strode on until she caught up with Zachary. She didn't call his attention, however, and just trailed after him.

Zachary noticed that Elva was walking behind him, and he asked with a grin, "Are you following me?"

"I am not following you. I'm heading for the back of mountain to get some fruit." She deadpanned, refusing to admit that she was indeed following him.

"Really? Well then, I guess I have to go!" And in an instant, Zachary was gone. Elva realized he had used his Shadow Pace to disappear.

"That guy!" she exclaimed, stomping her feet as she attempted to pursue him.

But all in vain, she couldn't find any sign of Zachary or his whereabouts.

Biting her lips till they turned red, she decided to let it go. But then Zachary suddenly appeared in front of her, carrying peaches in his hands.

"You..." Elva trailed off, speechless by his abrupt return. "They're delicious! Would you like some? Here, take them," he insisted, handing the fruits to Elva.

Although it was a simple gesture, Elva was touched. Her heartbeat quickened. Although her getting fruit was an excuse, Zachary took it seriously and picked the fruit for her himself.

Their eyes met for a moment, and both indulged in the silence stretching between them.

But Zachary didn't take it seriously. H

at being a quest!" Stunned, Zachary furrowed his eyebrows in wonder. Ever since he was stuck with the main quest, he had not taken any other quests except for cultivation quests.

"This quest is a hidden one. After completing this quest, new treasure-hunting side quests will be activated. The new quests will be released randomly according to your situation in the Celestial College," Mimi explained.

"I thought I couldn't accept any quests until I completed the main quest! I was so worried!" he exclaimed with joy and relief. If there was no quest, he wouldn't attain any rewards, which would certainly affect his progress in cultivation. Although he would get cultivation-aiding pills for every cultivation quest, they would only be sufficient for daily cultivation.

Almost immediately, a round pill radiating purple light appeared in front of Zachary. It was the Cultivation Boosting Pill that he had dreamed about for a long time.

As this pill was of the Mortal Level, it would enable Zachary to upgrade by one grade. He seized it and began to refine it.

After three whole days and nights, Zachary successfully made a breakthrough and reached the eighth grade of Mortal Level.

There was still some time before he left for the Celestial College. He used that time to study the booklet on weapon refining that Anne had given him.
