One Wish to Own the World

Chapter 181 181 – Sunscale Dragon

"I will make the pills for you guys now. Here, you can take the first."

Ken threw to the nearest buffalo the pill he originally used to pull them over to join the fight, and all the others looked at it enviously.

"Let's go to your habitant first, we can do it there."

Ken said and followed them to their territory. There, he started working on a formation.

"I was taught a formation that can allow me to produce the pills faster, I'm just working on it right now. Once it's done, I will be able to easily create the best pills in no time."

Ken explained his actions to the probing buffalos as he worked efficiently without a break. Strangely, the formation wasn't the one he saw in the Challenge of Comprehension and Integration, and its size was out of proportion as well. 

The formation extended around almost all the beasts, and its radius was over a hundred meters. Once the formation was done, Ken sat down in the center of the formation and called the beasts.

"Hey guys, come over if you want to watch me concoct the pills," Ken said while placing down a generous amount of Qi Stones to fuel the formation. Once all the buffalos circled him curiously, Ken activated the formation.

'Pfft, as if I have enough resources, time, or Qi to concoct so many sixth-grade pills. Have fun there, the formation should run out of Qi Stones by the time I'm done with this challenge.'

Ken mumbled to himself as he activated the formation, and the buffalos didn't even notice something changed. However, something very important changed; Ken already stood up and left the formation while they were stuck inside. When they realize they're stuck and try to barge out, they will run in circles until the Qi Stones are depleted.

Ken never planned to keep his word; he couldn't afford to concoct so many sixth-grade pills. Since he knew that the local elder loved her beasts, he didn't want to kill them and opted to trap them and bail out of the ordeal instead.

"You've stayed a week in the Beast Haven. You've survived and earned 544 marks, showing you were the darling of the forest. You may now pick your rewards."

Ken heard the voice talk to him after a whole week of silence. During those last few days remaining for the challenge, Ken mainly strolled around the forest and bribed beasts in exchange for their marks. He theorized that they couldn't attack him once giving him their marks, as none of them ever did.

"Thank you," Ken said casually as he walked to the pedestals. He didn't know if he collected enough marks to meet with the elder, but he hoped he did. Not because he wanted to meet her; he knew that passing her trial will also entail the best rewards.

Like always, he didn't start with the center. Going to the pedestal on his left, he found there a large golden egg with the label 'Sunscale Dragon'.

"What are Sunscale Dragons? Are they powerful?"

"All dragons are powerful. Specifically, even the weakest Sunscale Dragon would be an eighth-rank beast upon reaching maturity. The elders stole this egg from the Golden Wing Canyon, which is under the control of a few dragon clans."

Ken nodded and agreed with the price attached to the dragon egg.

"You're lucky to have so much CP. The trials were meant to find a single best inheritor for each elder, but you're taking all the good prizes along with the Inheritor Tokens."I think you should take a look at

"Yup, I'm rich, my receipts are looking like phone numbers."

"Don't brag, just put it in your bag. And what is a 'phone'?"

"Don't worry about it. I just meant that if I like it, then that's what I get."

Ken said as he placed his Blood Token near the pedestal and got the egg for a million CP while a popular song from his old world rang in his head.

"This prize is pretty good, I guess I passed the goal the elder placed for the Inheritor Token."

"Yes, it was 400 for the Inheritor Token and 500 for the other two."

The next prize was just as priceless as the egg. In fact, its worth might be even higher in the hands of the right person; it was a manual that described the best way to nurture many types of beasts, and from a quick check, Ken found both dragons and wolves listed there.

'Hmm, I don't want to raise two pets, one is more than enough. I only need one as an easy means of transportation, and it's better if it is winged.'

Ken thought to himself as he recalled Emrys, the little wolf pup he left behind at Henry's care in the Divine Sword Sect. 

As expected, the third pedestal contained the Inheritor Token that he didn't care much about. As soon as he thought about not caring for the token, another thought crossed his mind.

'What am I talking about, it's a huge honor to meet one of the supreme elders!'

Much more enthusiastically than before, Ken reached out to the token and the elder materialized in front of him.

"Hello, Young Inheritor, you are quite capable if you were able to get the recognition of four elders already. I'm Elder Isadora, the one who built up this inheritance sight. You've done well for not killing any of the beasts residing in the forest. Pets should not be killed."

It was a hidden condition to win the best prizes. Ken brimmed with pride when he heard that the elder was satisfied with his actions.

"Hey, tell me, am I the only inheritor?"

"Of course not, there are a few others who managed to gain one or more Inheritor Tokens. You are just the only one with five of them, and the only one who could afford all the extra rewards."

"I see. I want to go next to-"

"No, you're coming to meet me this time."
