Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 453 - 342: Deduction, All at Great Success
Looking at the gradually forming smoke in front of him, Qin An couldn’t help but smile.
During this period, Qin An had been cultivating his proficiency almost day and night.
Aside from ensuring his daily rest, this dull and flavorless life was nearly unbearable even for him.
But fortunately, Qin An’s proficiency constantly provided him with feedback, thus he managed to endure this monotonous life with astonishing perseverance.
Now that all professions have reached level sixteen, Qin An’s strength has achieved a qualitative breakthrough compared to before.
After a brief consideration, Qin An took out two cultivation techniques from his chest and placed them on the table, thinking to himself: "This time I’ve owed quite a bit to the General Mansion, but it’s okay."
After cultivating all professions to level sixteen, Qin An’s merits were almost depleted, not enough to exchange for guardian techniques and body techniques, and there were no demon souls to use for deduction either.
However, after Qin An worked all professions to level sixteen, he went to visit the General Mansion.
The purpose of visiting the General Mansion was simple, he wanted to inquire whether they had any corresponding tasks.
Currently, it’s very difficult for the Evil Extermination Bureau to receive a task with merits, as even those demonic pseudo-gods have retreated.
Obtaining merits at this moment is nothing short of a fantasy.
Unexpectedly, when he found the General Mansion, they did not issue him a task but instead asked what he needed.
At that time, Qin An requested two cultivation techniques and thirty demon souls.
Deducting cultivation techniques required twenty, and he wanted to keep ten as the foundation for the Nine Transformations Blood Burning Demon Sealing Hands.
Unexpectedly, the General Mansion immediately gave him the two required cultivation techniques and thirty demon souls.
At that time, Qin An asked the General Mansion why they were giving them to him for free, but they straightforwardly said it was considered an investment.
If Qin An could leave the Xunyang Prefecture in the future, they might still have connections.
Qin An pondered carefully and then unhesitatingly accepted them.
These were exactly what he needed now, and since the General Mansion was willing to give them, he would naturally not decline.
The two cultivation techniques lay quietly on the table, and after a moment of contemplation, Qin An casually picked up the one on the left.
This cultivation technique was called Radiant Armor, a light attribute guardian technique.
When executed, it can transform True Essence into a layer of light that covers the entire body, leaving no dead spots.
The light appears thin but can use strong light to corrode an enemy’s attack, preventing it from penetrating.
Moreover, the light attribute is exactly what Qin An currently urgently needs.
Without hesitation, Qin An began to carefully flip through the Radiant Armor in his hands.
Soon after, when Qin An had read the entire contents of the Radiant Armor, he had a general understanding of this guardian technique.
Qin An activated the Nine-Colored True Essence within him, running it according to the path of the Radiant Armor.
After a while, a hazy white light emerged from within his body, instantly enveloping Qin An entirely.
Once the white light surrounded his entire body, lines of smoke appeared before his eyes, gradually twisting into new text.
[You have cultivated Radiant Armor, triggering the corresponding talent]
[Radiant Armor (Great Success)]
In the next moment, the text dissipated in a roar, transforming into a sea of information that surged into Qin An’s mind.
Qin An closed his eyes, and after absorbing all the information, he silently thought: "Continue."
Qin An activated the Eight Extremes Dharma Aspect.
Once the Eight Extremes Dharma Aspect was activated, the smoke before his eyes dissipated with a roar, recombining into new text.
[You possess the Eight Extremes Dharma Aspect and Radiant Armor, intending to unify them, but your talent is insufficient, and the fusion fails]
[Currently, you face threats both inside and out, not only surrounded by black-robed pseudo-gods and others, but also the vast world outside Xunyang Prefecture awaits your exploration]
[You know that if you don’t quickly enhance your power, you might not even be able to leave Xunyang Prefecture]
[After sitting idly for years with no achievements, you decide to burn the blood within your body; after burning a large amount, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly occurs in your mind]
[But this enlightenment is too weak to allow complete fusion]
[You pause briefly, then burn a huge amount of blood again; as the blood burns, the enlightenment within your mind gradually enlarges, eventually allowing you to unifying the two]
[You named the new cultivation technique Nine Transformations Dharma Aspect]
[Nine Transformations Dharma Aspect (Great Success)]
"Boom!"
A loud rumbling sound echoed within his mind.
Then, those texts dissipated with a roar, and the information was transmitted into Qin An’s brow.
Qin An paused briefly and, after digesting all the information, had already deduced the guardian technique to the level of Great Success of Unity Realm.
Qin An stood up and activated the True Essence within his body.
Immediately afterward, he discovered that the color of the Nine Transformations Dharma Aspect had changed.
A translucent dharma aspect emerged, instantly transforming into a golden yellow like the sun.
Yet, this golden yellow was merely the surface; internally it carried nine True Essence attributes, representing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.
This layer of gold color was formed by the overlapping of the nine True Essence attributes.
Qin An sensed briefly, realizing that if he were to exercise a guardian cultivation technique, even a full-force assault from someone at the peak of Unity Realm would leave him unharmed.
After pondering for a moment, Qin An composed himself and then picked up the final book.
This book was named Pursuing Light Eight Extremes Step, a light attribute body technique.
Upon execution, it can cover the legs with light, when moving, it utilizes light attribute True Essence to transform into an afterimage, making it difficult for others to assess.
In terms of speed and other aspects, it is considered a top-notch body technique at Unity Realm.
Qin An paused briefly and meticulously flipped through Pursuing Light Eight Extremes Step.
During this process, the proficiency of the Scholar Profession saw a slight increase.
Once Qin An finished reading the body technique, he gained a preliminary understanding of it.
Without delay, Qin An stepped forward.
In the next moment, a surge of True Essence transformed into light attributes flooded his legs.
His legs resembled jade, gleaming with a hazy luster, and Qin An’s figure finally vanished from the spot.
When he appeared again, only a brilliant flash of light was seen, and Qin An had already arrived at the corner of the room.
Once Qin An finished his display, lines of text floated before him in the next moment.
[You have cultivated the Light-Chasing Eight Extremes Step, triggering the Dancer’s Talent]
[Light-Chasing Eight Extremes Step (Great Success)]
"Boom!"
The text shattered, transforming into a torrent of information, rushing over like a tidal wave.
Qin An took only a few breaths to fully comprehend all the essentials of the Light-Chasing Eight Extremes Step.
Without hesitation, Qin An then switched to display the Eight Extremes Dragon Roar Shadow Step.
When Qin An performed the Eight Extremes Dragon Roar Shadow Step, his figure turned ghostly, darting around the room.
A line of mist appeared before him, twisting into new text.
[You possess both the Eight Extremes Dragon Roar Shadow Step and the Light-Chasing Eight Extremes Step, intending to merge the two as one]
[Regrettably, your talent is insufficient, and the fusion fails]
[Unwilling to accept this, you burn a large amount of vitality, a flash of inspiration arises in your mind]
[But this flash is far from enough. Anxiously, you continue burning your internal vitality, sitting in stillness for years, eventually gaining insight]
[You name the new cultivation technique "Nine Transformations Dragon Roar Shadow Step"]
[Nine Transformations Dragon Roar Shadow Step (Great Success)]
"Boom!"
A terrifying roar sounded in his mind.
Only Qin An could hear it.
A large amount of information, along with the dissipating misty text, was entirely absorbed by Qin An.
Qin An circulated his Nine-Colored True Essence, leaving behind a perfect likeness of himself in place.
As the likeness gradually dissipated, it was then discovered that Qin An had already moved to the other end of the room.
Qin An took a deep breath, first calming his joyous mood, only then calculating the expenses of this endeavor.
All professions had reached level sixteen, and Qin An had evolved the Eight Extremes Dragon Roar Shadow Step to the level of the Nine Transformations Dragon Roar Shadow Step.
It could be said that now all of Qin An’s cultivation techniques had achieved the Great Success of Unity Realm, able to exert unimaginable might.
But the cost of this journey was exceedingly high.
Qin An now only had ten demon souls left, temporarily stored within him, to be used to display the Nine Transformations Blood-Burning Demon Sealing Hand in times of emergency.
"If I further cultivate the Scholar Profession, I could break through to the latest realm, but I’m still short of four Shattered Void Stones, to forge the ultimate foundation of the Void Shattering Realm."
"If I were to break through to the Void Shattering Realm now, it would be a loss for me. For now, I won’t cultivate and instead make a trip to the Alchemy Master Alliance to procure the desired items."
After pondering, Qin An had made his decision.
To enter the Void Shattering Realm is simple for him; he just needs to raise the Scholar Profession to level seventeen, then elevate all Scholar talents to Perfection in the Unity Realm, and then forcibly break through using a large number of demon souls.
However, this would be useless.
Exchanging temporary strength for endless future regrets, Qin An was no fool; he naturally knew this decision was absolutely infeasible.
Thinking of this, Qin An packed up briefly and pushed the door open.
At this moment, the sky was clear, the sunshine perfect, bringing a sense of joy to the heart.
Not lingering, Qin An discerned the direction of the Alchemy Master Alliance and walked briskly towards it.
...
At this moment, inside the Alchemy Master Alliance.
The Alliance Hierarch and numerous elders, along with numerous disciples of the Alchemy Master Alliance, were frantically refining pills.
Not long ago, a Mountain Patrol Golden General had issued a dire command to the Alchemy Master Alliance through the Evil Extermination Bureau.
They were instructed to produce a massive number of healing and True Essence recovery pills in a short time.
The quantity was so astronomical it bordered on a celestial count.
Moreover, the Evil Extermination Bureau used the term dire command.
This meant that failure to complete the task would result in culpability for the Alchemy Master Alliance.
The Alliance Hierarch didn’t know what could have happened that required the Evil Extermination Bureau to demand so many pills.
But given his backing by the Evil Extermination Bureau, now that they had given him orders, he would find a way to comply, even if it meant sleepless nights.
Thus, recently, the Alchemy Master Alliance had postponed all their other businesses, focusing wholeheartedly on refining the pills required by the Evil Extermination Bureau.
The Alliance Hierarch was inspecting the latest batch of pills when suddenly an elder entered quietly, whispering a few words into his ear.
The Alliance Hierarch was slightly stunned, then sharply turned his head, saying, "Since Mr. Qin has arrived, bring him in quickly. Why bother notifying me?"
The elder agreed, didn’t linger, and left the alchemy chamber.
Before long, Qin An’s figure appeared in the room.
The Alliance Hierarch immediately put down his work and went up to greet him, asking, "Mr. Qin, may I know what urgent matter brings you to the Alchemy Master Alliance this time? Whatever you instruct, the Alchemy Master Alliance will endeavor to do with its utmost effort, without any neglect."
His words were filled with respect, perhaps even reverence.
This was quite rare in the entire Xunyang Prefecture, as due to the Alliance Hierarch’s status, even facing a peer of the Mountain Patrol Golden General, only formalities sufficed, not the current respectful attitude.
But only the Alliance Hierarch knew that the true alchemy expert in the entire Xunyang Prefecture was Qin An.
Moreover, Qin An had granted the Alchemy Master Alliance numerous favors, so the Alliance Hierarch felt that this respect was well-deserved.
Qin An took a paper from his bosom and handed it to the Alliance Hierarch: "I know you’re busy recently, but my matter is also extremely urgent. I need these materials to refine a large quantity of pills."
The Alliance Hierarch was slightly taken aback, then accepted the letter from Qin An and opened it.
When he saw the materials listed, his brow furrowed lightly.
"Pills to enhance the Power of Attack, and pills for protective methods... Are these pills for enhancing body techniques?"
"Here are also pills for recovering True Essence and healing injuries..."
"Mr. Qin, you require so many items; even if they are refined, carrying them would be extremely difficult."
