Chapter 114 - Mysterious Books
Qin Yi just finished tidying up everything he extracted to their proper room inside the storage system.
After that, he focused on getting new knowledge from new books.
The new books he got from the people in the Secondary Profession Association all contained knowledge related to their area of expertise.
For example, a book called "How To Control Fire Properly"; This kind of book was usually especially for those who had just plunged into the world of alchemy.
There are also many other books related to the Secondary Profession besides Alchemist, such as the books entitled "Fundamentals of Creating Formation", "Thirty-six Forging Styles", "Collection of Talisman Ores", "How to Skin a Magical Beast Skin", and many others.
Even though Qin Yi had no affinity with the Talisman Master and Spiritual Chef, that didn't mean he couldn't learn these two Secondary Professions. However, it would take more time and effort than people with these affinities.
Still, Qin Yi had no intention of studying them for a while. After all, he already had a lot to learn on his plate.
Time was passing, he wasn't sure how long he had spent in this frozen space, but he had a feeling that it had been a long time.
Qin Yi took out two particular books that the system extracted today.
"Medicine Saint Journal", as you can see from the book title. This book is probably related to medicine things.
Qin Yi opened the first page, and as he expected, it was all about listing heaven and earth materials.
However, when his fingers kept turning the page, his face changed from time to time.
Qin Yi couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Does these heaven and earth materials even exist in this world?"
He saw many heaven and earth materials on this list that he had never seen in other books.
He had already read a book called "Record of Heaven and Earth Materials In Four Regions". The book records all types and functions of heaven and earth materials in the four regions and has been certified by the Secondary Profession Association.
What's more, that book has been in circulation since tens of thousands of years ago and is constantly being updated to this day.
However, this book that Qin Yi is reading contains many records of heaven and earth materials, which are not yet recorded in the "Record of Heaven and Earth Materials In Four Regions".
The strangest thing here is, there's seems no end to this book's pages. It looked thin and contained no more than a hundred pages, but it actually had endless pages.
It doesn't matter how much Qin Yi flipped its pages; it looks like he still has a long way to end it.
Qin Yi was utterly shocked.
This book must be a treasure!
But how can the system didn't grade it?
It's possible because its grade is too high to system judge?
The more he thought, the more possible it was.
Qin Yi suddenly grabbed the book "How To Become A Proper Assassin".
"This book is the same!" muttered him with an excited face.
If the "Medicine Saint Journal" was all about alchemy, then
This book is about the assassination.
Even though he didn't specialize in assassinations, he could learn a thing or two from this book.
Then, he put the book aside. He picked up "Medicine Saint Journal" again and started reading it seriously.
Just like that, time passed...
When Qin Yi opened his eyes, his consciousness had returned to his body.
He gained a lot from just a few "Medicine Saint Journal" pages. Unfortunately, reading it requires a lot of patience and brain capacity. He had patience, but his brain couldn't hold a lot of knowledge in one go.
Therefore, he could only continue it another day.
Qin Yi jumped from the willow tree branch and landed gently on the ground.
After that, he opened the UI.

There Qin Yi saw his aptitude change from middle grade to high grade.
What can be happy than this?
With high-grade aptitude, the point conversion from Cultivation Points to Mastery Points was changed from 1:100 to 1:10.
That means he can convert 10 Cultivation Points into 1 Mastery Point.
It's cheaper now~
Apart from aptitude, he was also excited to see he had a bloodline now.
Shadow Bloodlines.
He heard that the Shadow House was blessed with this bloodline, and everyone who could awaken it would receive a different bloodline ability.
In this case, Yin Cheng awakened a bloodline ability called "Shadow Assimilation", and her elder sister awakened a bloodline ability called "Shadow Weapon".
Without beating around the bush, Qin Yi tested it directly.
The first is Shadow Assimilation.
Qin Yi activated his Shadow Bloodline. In the next second, he felt that the structure inside his body was changing.
This feeling was almost the same as when he activated his Mystic Talent for the first time.
He also received full details about this bloodline ability.
In short, he can only activate this bloodline ability in places where shadows can materialize.
Fortunately, Star Pearl Island was as bright as day. Thanks to that, everything here can reflect a shadow on the ground.
Hence, he can use this bloodline ability without any problems.
Whoop-
Relying on his instincts, Qin Yi began to assimilate his body into his shadow.
It feels strange when he becomes a shadow.
It was like he was in a completely dark room. Fortunately, he still hears and sees the outside world.
Qin Yi tries to move like a shadow.
After getting used to his current form, he began to move more freely.
Whoosh-
The shadow on the ground moved swiftly. Shortly after, it found Mu Mu squatting in front of the flowers. Immediately, it moves forward and attaches itself to Mu Mu's shadow.
Seeing that Mu Mu was still unaware that his shadow had been invaded, the shadow wiggled itself on the surface of the ground like a weed.
Realizing something was moving, Mu Mu reflectively looked at the ground and saw that his shadow was wobbling.
Mu Mu giggled happily. He tapped his hand to his shadow and shouted, "Grandpa!"
?!
Qin Yi, the shadow, couldn't help but be astonished.
How could this brat realize that it was him?
However, he didn't overthink it as he immediately manifested himself into his original form.
Then, he immediately held Mu Mu with both hands and lifted him up: "As expected, our Little Mu knows grandpa the best!"
Mu Mu kept giggling as he was being picked up like this.
"What is Little Mu doing here?" Qin Yi asked softly.
"Flowers. Shine!" Mu Mu replied cheerfully as he pointed down his finger to the shining flowers on the ground.
Qin Yi smiled and kept the little fella in his arms.
"So, our Little Mu, like these shining flowers?"
"Like!"
Qin Yi rubbed Mu Mu's hair then put it back on the ground.
After that, he continued his bloodline training.
An hour later, he is done with the Shadow Bloodline experiment.
Shadow Assimilation was very easy to use, so he didn't have to practice too long to master it.
As for Shadow Weapon, it is a bloodline ability to create a weapon from shadows. However, the only weapons that can be made are close-combat weapons such as swords, blades, daggers, and the like.
These two bloodline abilities are surely helpful to Qin Yi, but he probably won't use the Shadow Weapon very often since his primary weapon is a bow.
However, it would be helpful in a particular situation.
Next, the thing that Qin Yi wants to master right now is a movement skill called "Cloud Beckoning Art."
It was a movement skill that he extracted from Yun Qiu.
This movement skill can summon clouds from a swarm of clouds in the sky and use it as an aerial vehicle like a flying sword.
As long as Qin Yi can master the Cloud Beckoning Art, he can fly without reaching Foundation Establishment Realm.
However, he needed to be careful.
The Cloud Beckoning Art was Yun Clan's signature martial art. It was pretty famous in Ancient Dragon City.
It would not be good if the Yun Clan found him using this movement skill.
Although he was pretty confident in his escape arts, it was quite troublesome to have him chased around like a thief.
However, everything would be fine if he didn't use it in front of them and away from Ancient Dragon City.
Moreover, it was not like he would be using the Cloud Beckoning Art forever.
When his cultivation base reached Foundation Establishment Realm, he could undoubtedly fly on his own.
