Talent Swallowing System



[Congratulations to the Ascender for successfully refining 100 rank 1 pill refinements without a failure]

[The Ascender can pick two of the three rewards]

1) Title: Mad Alchemist.

2) Lunar Pearl x 3.

3) Map for a Grade 7 Spirit Vein.

Just as he sorted out the pills into the gourds, Leo received the announcements from [Heaven's Voice].

'Once again, I have to choose the rewards.'

Whenever he saw the list of rewards, Leo would get a headache because he wanted all the rewards from the list.

However, he could only pick two of them from the three items.

'I know how powerful these so-called titles are. Especially, the title I got in my first [Ascending World], which helped me finish the [Ascending Mission] in the shortest possible time.'

Without a doubt, Leo decided to pick the title because, from the title itself, he could feel that it was very useful.

Moreover, Leo knew that he would be focusing more on Alchemy in the future to increase his cultivation and at the same time, he could increase his funds to buy some natural treasures that could not be merged.

So, having a title regarding Alchemy was not bad.

'As for the next two items, they are both useful to me.'

The second reward was three Lunar Pearls with which Leo could refine the Foundation Establishment Pills three times after buying some more ingredients. Even if he succeeds two times, he could have at least 20 pills and a maximum of 40 pills which he could merge to the Top-level to get some additional special effect.

However, the third reward was way better if he gets his hand on the Spirit Vein.

In this cultivation world, Spirit Veins are the places that are rich in Moon Energy and just by living in such places, one could increase his lifespan by at least 10 years depending on the grade of the spirit vein.

Just like the sects, the spirit veins are also classified into various grades with Grade 9 at the bottom and Grade 1 at the top.

'Even though my sect is a Grade 9 sect, it didn't have its own Grade 9 Spirit Vein; however, [Heaven's Voice] was tempting him with a map to a Grade 7 Spirit Vein which could even make Golden Core Realm Cultivators crazy.'

Leo silently thought in his head, 'If I can try to break through in a Grade 7 Spirit Vein, my chances of the breakthrough into Golden Core Realm will increase by 50 percent.'

When these thoughts came to his head, Leo became excited; however, he didn't forget the risks of selecting the third reward over the second reward.

The third reward was just a map and it might be in the depths of the Dark Moon Forest or even in the other dangerous places as they might be occupied by some furious Moon Beasts.

'But still, it's a Grade 7 Spirit Vein that we are talking about. Even if I can't get it now, it is a good place to re-establish my sect there.'

After hesitating for a while, Leo selected the third reward.

[The Ascender selected the title [Mad Alchemist] and a map for a Grade 7 Spirit Vein]

'Swoosh'

In the next second, Leo's body shone with a golden light and Leo knew that [Heaven's Voice] bestowed him with the title.

Also, a golden-coloured scroll appeared in Leo's hands which was none other than the map for the Grade 7 spirit vein.

'Let's see where this Grade 7 Spirit Vein is located before checking out my title.'

With that thought in mind, Leo opened the scroll.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, the gold-coloured scroll turned into nothingness as Leo felt some foreign information appear in his head.

'T-this is….the Grade 7 Spirit Vein in the Dark Moon Forest just like I expected.'

The information that Leo received from the scroll was regarding the location of the Grade 7 Spirit Vein and Leo knew exactly where it was located.

'Even though it was inside the Dark Moon Forest, it was in the middle section. As long as I make enough preparations, I can go and check out the location before planning what I can do.'

The best thing to do with a Grade 7 Spirit Vein was to establish a sect because a Grade 7 Spirit Vein could provide pure Moon Energy for thousands of cultivators.

The current leader of the Lunar Country is Lunar Sect and it owns three Grade 7 Spirit Veins and with their help, the entire sect was growing more and more powerful day by day.

However, Leo was not in a hurry as he had to make enough preparations for his protection before entering the Dark Moon Forest.

'I heard that to enter the Dark Moon Forest, I need to have at least a Golden Core Realm strength and if I have a Nascent Soul Realm strength, I can enter the middle section of the Dark Moon Forest without any worries.'

Soon, Leo started thinking about how to get such strength in the shortest possible time.

One, I have to find some Golden Core Pills and using them, I, Gallant and three elders can easily become the Golden Core Realm Cultivators. With five Golden Core Realm Cultivators along with some preparations, we can venture into the middle section of the Dark Moon Forest.

Two, if I can get my hands on 10 high-level Rank 3 Combat Puppets, I can merge them into a top-level Rank 4 Combat Puppet which would have a strength equivalent to Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Three, I can just offer the information to Lunar Sect to exchange for some benefits.

Even though the third option won't give him many benefits, it would be the safest option for Leo and he might get one or two Golden Core Pills in exchange for such information.

However, by doing so, Leo would be losing so much and even if he wants, he could not get his hands on the Grade 7 Spirit Vein in the future.

'It's alright! Right now, I only need to increase my chances of survival and by getting Golden Core Pills, I can become a lot stronger and my lifespan would be doubled.'

After thinking for a lot of time, Leo decided to give the information about the Spirit Vein to the Grade 7 Lunar Sect.

'Let's do it.'

Soon, Leo started planning about it and found a good plan which he decided to execute after he stabilized his sect's current condition.

Even though it was not a good thing for regular cultivators, for Leo, he found a way to turn it into a good thing.

Cultivators might need good spirit veins; however, for him, all he needed was the low-level cultivation resources which he could merge into the top-level.

With the help of those top-level cultivation resources, Leo could easily breakthrough in his cultivation and he could also do the same for his followers and disciples.

'The only thing I need to worry about is bargaining for some good resources from the sect and as for my protection, I have [Quasi Divine Presence].'

If Leo wants, he could even pose himself as a Dao Immortal; however, he won't do that because it would only put him in trouble.

However, if he could pose himself as a powerful Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, he could exchange the information in his mind with so many good cultivation resources from the Lunar Sect because he believed they must have accumulated so many resources over the centuries.

'Now, let's check out the information on the title.'

After settling the issue regarding the Grade 7 Spirit Vein, Leo focused on his title.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Title Name: Mad Alchemist (Rank 1)

Effect: All rank 1 pills refined by the alchemist will be doubled in quantity.

…

'What? Doubled?'

There was only a single effect; however, when Leo learned the effect of the [Mad Alchemist], he was pleasantly shocked.

'I can already refine 20 pills per refinement and if they can be doubled, then it would be 40 pills per refinement. I still have 400 sets of ingredients with which I can refine 16000 pills.'

Of those 16000 pills, half of them will be high-level pills and the remaining half will be mid-level.

'I should upgrade my Fundamental Merge and increase the number of slots for merging in a day.'

Now, Leo was having so many things to merge; however, the slots were still low and hence, he decided to focus on upgrading the Fundamental Merge to level 3.

'I already have one low-level moon stone and I only need 9 more moonstones to upgrade it to level 3 which I can do by tomorrow.'

Leo had already planned to merge five moon stones per day and it would only take two days for me to accumulate 10 moon stones to upgrade the talent.

'Also, I need to focus more on Alchemy and refine other pills also.'

The reason why Leo focused only on Qi-refinement Pills was that they were easy and didn't take much refining time.

Moreover, he had so many sets of ingredients and wanted to complete them soon.

'For now, let's start today's merging.'

Without wasting any time, Leo started merging.

….

50 fragments of the Moon Stones are merged into 5 low-level Moon Stones.

10 low-level spirit stones are merged into one mid-level spirit stone.

10 high-level Qi Refinement Pills into one top-level Qi Refinement Pill.

…

'As for the remaining four uses, I will refine the pills and merge them.'

Leo wanted to have more pills because they are always in demand and at the same time, he could reward his disciples with those pills.

Therefore, he started his pill refinement once again; however, this time, he was refining the other four pills that he planned to refine.
