Chapter 57 - Chapter 57: The Pill of Torment.

Morning came, and X left his house and headed to the Alchemy Hall.

After three hours, he left the Alchemy Hall and headed to the Teleportation Circle.

In front of the Teleportation Circle were Yan Du and Song Yu, both of whom had reached the intermediate soldier level.

Each of them donned a red cloak and entered the Teleportation Circle.

X chose to teleport to Green Mountain City, and then both X and his followers disappeared.

X and his followers reappeared, entered Green Mountain City, and quickly headed to the Land Sales Office.

X entered the Land Sales Office and approached the person in charge of the Land Sales Office.

The person in charge was surprised when he saw X and asked, "Sir, may I see your rank?" X replied, "Okay."

A green screen then appeared in front of a man.

Rank: Marquis 3rd Grade 1000/1600

A man was surprised when he saw the green screen. This was a man with the rank of Marquis III, and he needed 600 achievement points to reach the rank of Marquis II.

A smiling man said, "Sir, you can buy three buildings because you are a Marquis."

Inside the land sale building were Wen Qi and Fan Xiu.

Since Song Yu had insulted Fan Xiu, Fan Xiu had been searching for a country heir located in the green zone.

There are three country heirs in the green zone: the Qin family, the Han family, and the Wei family.

There are seven families in the Green Zone, three of which have legacies, while the other four do not.

They are the Xiu family, the Qi family, the Chi family, and the Yan family.

The Yan family purchased a green-grade Village Creation Core on the first day of the Primordial World.

While the Qi family invaded a brown-grade human village.

As for the Xiu family, Fan Xiu's older brother killed a First Soldier-level monster with his followers and obtained a brown-grade Village Creation Core.

However, the Qi family did not obtain any Village Creation Stones, so he entered into a marriage agreement with the Xiu family.

These are the families with legacies, and X did not have one.

Therefore, Fan Xiu concluded that X was merely a pretender.

When Wang Qi saw X, she quickly walked over to him and said, "Master, is that you?" X smiled and said, "Yes, that's me."

Fan Xiu looked at X and Wong Ke and headed towards them with his followers. This time, he brought many men to teach X a lesson.

When Wong Ke saw Fan Xiu approaching with many men, she said, "Fan Xiu, don't come any closer, you bastard."

Fan Xiu said in an angry voice, "Wong Ke, get out of my way. I'll kill that idiot."

X looked at Fan Xiu with a look filled with contempt.

When Fan Xiu approached X and surrounded him, he said, "You bastard, I'm going to kill you today. Attack."

The men headed towards X and his followers, trying to attack him. However, three soldiers appeared guarding the land sales office.

As they beat the men, Fan Xiu asked in horror, "Why are you protecting him?"

One of the soldiers said, "Because he's a Grade 3 Marquis."

Wong Ke and Fan Xiu were both shocked when they heard this.

Then the soldiers took Fan Xiu and his followers out from inside the land sales office.

These soldiers were at the level of a first-stage knight.

The Great Green Mountain City had 500,000 troops, 300,000 of which were soldier-level soldiers, 200,000 were core soldiers, 50,000 were knight-level soldiers, 100 were commander-level soldiers, 20 were low-level generals, and five were mid-level generals, including the city mayor.

X then emerged from the land sales building, followed by Wong Qi, who asked, "Sir, can you sell one of the buildings?"

X looked at him and smiled. "Why do you want a building?" Wong Qi said, "I have the art of sewing. I want to be freed from the bondage of my family. I also don't want to marry Fan Xiu. I also want to marry the person I love."

X smiled when he heard this. The more he stayed with Wong Qi, the more familiar he felt, as if he had known Wong Qi for a long time but couldn't remember it.

X then sold one of the three buildings to Wong Qi, leaving him with two remaining.

He decided to set up a restaurant in one of the buildings, and in the second building, he would set up a shop to sell tools and grains.

X returned to the village, gathered the High Council, and entered the meeting room.

They began a discussion about which shops should be established within the cities.

After they finished their discussion, each one went back to his work.

X went home and entered the alchemy room. He extracted five herbs: one yellow, one green, one red, one white, and one purple.

The yellow herb was the Yellow Foxtail, the green herb was the Sweet Pepper, and the white herb was the Cold Herb.

The red herb was the Pain Herb, which the soldiers had discovered, while the purple herb was the Awakening Poison Herb.

Name: Herb of Torment

Rank: Green (Peak)

[This herb is one of the paths that can evolve into a Fire Herb when you reach the next level.]

Name: Herb of Awakening

Rank: Green (Late)

[This herb is one of the paths that can evolve into a Poison Herb when you reach the next level.]

X grabbed the herbs and placed them inside the Pill Making Furnace and began making pills.

After an hour, X stopped making pills. The door of the pill making furnace opened, and five purple and red striped pills with blue veins emerged.

X grabbed the five pills, and a green screen appeared.

Name: Pill of Torment

Rank: Blue (Veined)

[It can prevent sleep and also induce pain, hunger, and a desire to sleep.]

X smiled and placed the five pills in his mouth.

When these pills entered his stomach, they turned into red and purple energy, and spread throughout his body.

X felt a desire to sleep, but he couldn't. He also felt nauseous, but he couldn't eat. Then he felt pain, but he couldn't scream.

After an hour of pain, X's entire body was made of brown stones.

Then the brown stones turned to dust and flew into the air. X appeared, even more handsome than before.

X had reached the First Stage Commander level.

X smiled as he felt the energy within his core becoming more powerful.

X then left his house and headed to the Alchemy Hall, where he gave them the recipe for the Torment Pill.

The alchemists were surprised when he heard this, and looked at him happily.

X then headed to the other villages and used the Village Creation Stones.

He created 20 new villages, and selected two of them to become Intermediate Villages: Heart of Fire Village and Body of Water Village.

Fire Heart Village is the core that was brought down by the Fire Lion, while Water Body Village is the core that was brought down by the Red Octopus.

X Village has four medium villages and 40 small villages.

The medium villages are: Noble Village, Golden Body Village, Fire Heart Village, and Water Body Village.

X then headed into the green forest and took out the Red Octopus's Energy Bone. It was a gold plate with holes in it.

X placed the gold plate behind his back. The metal plate entered his back, and X felt a pain in his back.

After 10 minutes, the pain subsided. Then, he heard the Primordial World System voice.

[You have merged with the Red Octopus's Gold-grade External Energy Bone.]

Hearing the voice of the Primordial World System, X sighed.

Then, he thought about the octopus's tentacles, and a golden tentacle emerged from behind his back.

Then he imagined water balls, and several more balls of water appeared beside the golden tentacles, and he glided toward the trees and pierced them.

X smiled and tried this several times.

Yesterday, X had read about how to make Energy Bones using the Eye of Truth.

X needed to obtain an Energy Stone, a Spirit Stone, a Bloodstone, a Bloodstone, and a Nature Stone to make Energy Bones.

Time passed quickly, night fell, and he headed home.

Day 24 ended and Day 25 began.
