Absolute Destiny Game-Chapter 347 - 7 Kui Li Mountain Lord

Indeed, this is the truly awesome profession and talent!

Xiao Jie looked at the profession introduction of the Ancient Qi Refiner, core skills, and the three talents, thinking joyfully.

By comparison, although Swordman has two Legendary talents, their practicality is far inferior.

The forgotten Swordman seems powerful, but it’s only triggered upon death. No matter how strong, it can only be used for revenge or settling one’s own affairs after death; it’s of no help to oneself.

Lonely Brave Blade is ridiculously strong, with a very high damage boost, plus the core skills of the Swordman, all stacked to the max will definitely explode in damage... But Physical type, eh? There is a limit to its potential, and it’s at a disadvantage against enemies who can cast powerful spells.

By contrast, the growth potential of the Ancient Qi Refiner is just outrageously strong.

Just the talent Spiritual Enlightenment alone is worth more than the sum of the Swordman’s three talents.

Comprehension is something that cannot be enhanced with attribute points; the higher the comprehension, the greater the player’s potential for shaping.

You know, secret techniques are divided between outer and inner.

With 20 comprehension, one can only grasp the outer secret techniques, but with over 30 points of comprehension, if the martial arts are high-level, one can comprehend the inner secret techniques, which are more powerful than the outer ones.

And with a comprehension of over 40 points... perhaps even eating a meal or taking a dump could lead to a flash of insight.

I could totally practice a bunch of Grandmaster Level skills and stack my comprehension over 30 points, even over 40 points—wouldn’t that mean insights into skills would just keep coming?

All sorts of super Big Moves, outer and inner secrets, whatever you want.

This talent seems to only add comprehension, but its value is immeasurable; it’s just that Grandmaster Level skills are hard to upgrade and require a lot of time. The payback time will just be a bit longer.

Then there’s the talent Qi Master, which feels a bit ordinary, seemingly a standard talent for Qi Refiners, but it has offensive, defensive, and healing skills, so it’s more than passable.

It’s just that the consumption of Spiritual Power is a bit of a trap; Spiritual Energy is not Mana and doesn’t recover just by taking medicine. It can only be replenished by absorbing Spiritual Energy or refining Demon Cores. Given the scarcity of Spiritual Energy in the world, and Monster Inner Cores only dropped by powerful demons, they are not so easy to come by.

It is totally a case of use a bit, lose a bit, not to be used lightly.

Fortunately, now that I’ve learned the Qi Observation Skill, that should help, right?

And Demon Spirit Manifestation also has huge potential. Judging by the current four demon cores providing three enhancement effects (clearly the Deteriorated Wolf Demon Core is too low-quality to be of use), if I consume dozens more Monster Inner Cores in the future, wouldn’t my basic attributes skyrocket?

I could totally train to become a hexagon warrior, intelligence, looks, Constitution... no wait, I mean Constitution, Strength, Agility, all-around development.

But then, when it comes to brushing up attribute points, there’s a knack for it. Of the three cores, apart from the Snake Demon’s which added 20 points of Poison Resistance, the other two added 3 points to Strength and 1 point to Agility. It seems to be due to [attribute diminishing returns when certain levels are high], likely because my Agility is already too high, so only 1 point was added.

In this case, when I consume Monster Inner Cores, I should prioritize boosting Strength, Endurance, Constitution, and so on for better cost-effectiveness.

As long as I handle it well,

eventually reaching all attributes of 50—60—even over 70+ is not a problem.

The only hidden danger is the anomaly that arises after 100% transformation, as mentioned vaguely with a warning in the talent, indicating certain risks.

Could it be that after reaching 100%, one becomes a demon? Or is one’s mind overtaken by the Demon Spirit’s consciousness?

This will need to be carefully studied later on.

Xiao Jie was lost in thought, his mind buzzing with ideas, while I Want to Be Immortal was growing impatient.

"So, Feng, what professions have you rolled?"

"Swordman, Bow Cavalry, and—Ancient Qi Refiner!" As Xiao Jie uttered the last five words, his mouse clicked without hesitation.

[System Notice: You have chosen Ancient Qi Refiner as your second Basic Profession. You have learned a new skill—[Qi Observation Skill], and you have acquired new profession talents...]

Done!

Seeing the profession behind his name change to ’Hidden Moon Following Wind (Ancient Qi Refiner),’ Xiao Jie finally relaxed.

His path to Immortality, officially took its first step.

Qi Observation Skill, Qi Observation Skill—let me see where there is Spiritual Energy.

If Qi Observation Skill finds Spiritual Energy, that wouldn’t be too bad.

Clicking Qi Observation Skill, Xiao Jie saw his character strike a gazing posture, eyes aglow, and everything around immediately turned into a strange pale blue hue.

The special effect reminded Xiao Jie of Witcher 3’s Witcher’s Senses.

According to the Skill Description, Spiritual Energy should reveal itself in the field of vision as white light.

However, looking around, apart from a very faint white light on Ye Luo and I Want to Be Immortal, nothing was found.

Xiao Jie was not surprised; Spiritual Energy is no cabbage, it couldn’t possibly be everywhere on the map. Just need to seek it out slowly, frequently using Qi Observation.

Unexpectantly, suddenly, a message flashed in the information bar.

[System Notice: After using Qi Observation Skill, you faintly sense a burst of Spiritual Power coming from the north.]

Eh, really found something?

The north?

Xiao Jie looked north, in the direction of the entrance to Hundred Wolves Cave.

Xiao Jie clicked on the minimap, and indeed, there was a bright white spot at the depths of Hundred Wolves Cave.

Tsk tsk, Wolf King Chi Mei Jian must have strong internal Spiritual Power; this one has to be taken down.
