There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

【Corpse Tax Dungeon: Unknown tremors detected. Next opening in 14 days.】

【Congratulations, Player! Equipment advancement quest "True Justice" progress increased.】

【Dao Rune Shop now offering limited-time discounts on select items. Please check it out!】

A series of prompts kept popping up.

The new dungeon is temporarily inaccessible, but it's not a big deal. It just requires waiting for a while. Moreover, according to the nonsense of that Multi-Eyed Daoist, the monsters that appear next time should be even more powerful.

The fourteen-day gap is also a good time to improve myself.

The time agreed upon with Redbeard is almost here. Maxing out my attack stats and adding the Spine Wine of the Mountain Giant Dragon, even if the enemies become stronger, Xiao Yang won't stop moving forward.

Oh right, there's still one doubt.

For some reason, Xiao Yang always felt that this Multi-Eyed Daoist looked somewhat familiar. It wasn't his face or eyes; in fact, that thing's face was just a bunch of eyeballs, but his attire was inexplicably familiar.

"Where exactly have I seen something similar before?"

For a moment, he couldn't recall, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

This exploration's harvest was pretty good. The advancement quest for Justice's Comfort also took a step forward.

【True Justice: Kill three high-intelligence, evil-aligned, powerful monsters using deceit, trickery, or ambush.】

Current progress: 3/1

This advancement quest was easier than Xiao Yang thought, because his extortion using the Bloody Pocket Watch seemed to be directly regarded as trickery.

If no accidents occur later, then Justice's Comfort should be the first item Xiao Yang completes the advancement for.

Besides the advancement quest for Justice's Comfort, there's also the Progression Reward.

This time's Progression Reward carried a hint of evil.

【Thousand-Bone Sword】

Quality: Epic

Damage: 30

Restriction: A mental fortitude check is performed on the user every ten attacks.

Effect: Attacks inflict Bleeding, attacks can directly damage the soul.

Description: A hundred people to forge a tool, a thousand people to forge a sword.

【Yaksha Tooth】

Now the choice was clear: the lottery.

Xiao Yang hadn't drawn a box in a while. He rubbed his hands, it was time to witness his luck!

His gaze swept over the Thousand-Bone Sword and the Yaksha Tooth in the Progression Rewards, and immediately landed on the Epic Gift Box.

"Open!"

Along with the confirmation of the selection, the Gift Box swelled up violently. After reaching its limit, in the midst of chaotic light, a heavy scroll appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

【Esoteric Vajra Body】

Quality: Epic

Type: Cultivation Method

Restriction: Must be a Converted Monk

Effect: Every two points of Strength converts into one point of Damage, every two points of Defense converts into one point of Defense.

Cultivation Method Trait:

Dragon Elephant Strength: Increases Strength by ten points.

Vajra Body: Increases Defense by ten points.

Description: While chanting scriptures is very cultivating, my fist is still strong and powerful!

The Gift Box dropped an Epic cultivation method for Xiao Yang. Looking at the description, it could not only provide an increase in two attributes simultaneously, but also came with two cultivation method traits.

Xiao Yang was a little envious, especially after comparing it to his pitiful Black Rock Prison Guard Regulations. The feeling that one should throw away the inferior product became even stronger.

The current Black Rock Prison Guard Regulations were already somewhat unable to keep up with Xiao Yang's pace, but unfortunately, this cultivation method was profession-restricted and could only be used by Converted Monks.

"Profession! It really comes down to profession!"

A good profession can really bring a considerable degree of improvement.

Xiao Yang couldn't use this Esoteric Vajra Body, nor would he use it. Even if he was envious of such attribute bonuses, he couldn't really become a monk, could he?

Keep it for collection, perhaps it will be useful in the future. Xiao Yang made this decision for it.

After selecting the Progression Rewards, it was the Multi-Eyed Daoist's drops.

One purple, two blue.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

They were a bell (purple), a wooden tablet (blue), and a bone still covered in flesh (blue).

The wooden tablet was a Soul Summoning Tablet, capable of summoning ghosts, but it required consuming life force to summon a level fifteen ghost. It was somewhat useful, but more of a toy-level item.

Xiao Yang's own Dragon Hunter Helmet could also summon minions, and it could summon a minion of the same level as Xiao Yang, with no negative effects. But Xiao Yang still didn't use this ability much.

Xiao Yang's level, his actual combat power, and the enemies he faced were all disconnected, and disconnected very severely.

The Dragonkin Undead summoned by the Dragon Hunter Helmet were mostly Dragonkin Skeleton Warriors that were stronger than ordinary Skeleton Warriors, but not by much.

Besides being useful for scouting sometimes, it was better for Xiao Yang to swing his Rusty Great Axe a few more times than to summon this Dragonkin Undead.

This Soul Summoning Tablet could only be placed on the list of things that might be useful and kept, and that was only because it could summon a relatively rare ghost.

The other of the two blue items was the bone covered in flesh. It was a demon bone, a material, with no use. Xiao Yang classified it as useless garbage, waiting to be sold.

Of the three things dropped by the Multi-Eyed Daoist, only the purple bell was somewhat useful to Xiao Yang.

【Soul-Soothing Bell】

Quality: Epic

Effect: Soothes the self, disturbs the enemy's mind.

Description: I think my bell sounds very nice, don't you want to listen?

Xiao Yang basically accepted anything with a soothing effect.

Picking up this small bell carved with intricate patterns, he gently shook it. In the echoing crisp sound, Xiao Yang indeed felt a trace of tranquility.

"Good stuff!"

He directly hung the bell on his waist.

Now, it was time for the biggest gain from this large dungeon exploration.

After summoning the Divine Game panel, Xiao Yang directly entered the Dao Rune Shop module. As soon as he entered, Xiao Yang saw several items marked in red.

【First Revolution Golden Pill, Longevity Peach, Enlightenment Stone】

Seeing this explosive discount-like column in the Dao Rune Shop, Xiao Yang was a little unaccustomed.

The First Revolution Golden Pill was needless to say, the effect of the Longevity Peach was also very direct, increasing lifespan by five hundred years, and then there was the Enlightenment Stone.

These three items were all high-end goods with an original price of one hundred Dao Runes, but now, the Dao Rune Shop gave a 2.5 discount, meaning that something originally priced at one hundred Dao Runes now only cost twenty-five Dao Runes.

Xiao Yang happened to have twenty-five Dao Runes.

The two corresponded, a great coincidence, perhaps an investment, or something else.

But no matter which one it was, since the Dao Rune Shop dared to give it, then Xiao Yang dared to take it. As long as he knew how hard it was to get this little bit of Dao Runes, now that there was an opportunity to take it at a discount, there was no doubt that he would take it.
