Chapter 62: Easy-peasy
After counting the spirit stones, Lordi Payne didn't dare linger near the Tower of Hundred Treasures a moment longer. He bolted from the mountain peak in haste, heart pounding.
Even returning directly to Ghost Shade Peak felt too risky. Instead, he veered toward a nearby mountain and hurried straight to the Punishment Crypt at its summit. Only when he reached the crypt's front plaza—watching the enforcer deacons march in and out—did he finally allow himself to relax.
"I can't selling Bone Tempering Pills alone any more!" Lordi Payne muttered, his brow furrowed in frustration. "Damn this useless AwfulOS system! There's not even an option to lower the elixir's quality. Hey system, can't you just alchemy mid-level or entry-level pills next time?"

"..." Lordi Payne sighed, then steeled himself. "However I have to keep making elixir pills—otherwise, I'll be in deep trouble when the fine comes due."
But the premium-grade Bone Tempering Pills had already drawn unwanted attention. Not only was the Tower of Hundred Treasures sniffing around, but Kim Simona was also tracing the pills' origin. A dull ache throbbed in his temples.
"I need to fix this 'too high-quality' problem... or find another way."
After a long moment of contemplation, Lordi Payne's thoughts sharpened. He is no longer in Deerspring Town anymore. He's in the Abyss Pit Sect.
