Chapter 237: Lord Wei Lishan
Chapter 237: Lord Wei Lishan
Sure enough, this is a truly awesome profession and talent!
Xiao Jie looked at the career introduction, core skills, and three talents of the ancient Qi Refiner, and thought happily in his heart.
In comparison, although the swordsman has two legendary talents, their practicality is far worse.
The Forgotten Swordsman seems powerful, but it can only be triggered when he is dead. No matter how powerful he is, he can only use it to avenge himself or settle his affairs after death, but it is of no help to himself.
The Lone Mad Swordsman is ridiculously strong, with a super high damage bonus, plus the swordsman's own core skills. The damage is absolutely explosive when all are stacked up... But it's a physical department, so the upper limit is just that. It will be defeated when encountering an enemy with powerful spells.
In comparison, the growth potential of this ancient Qi-refining practitioner is extremely strong.
The natural talent of spiritual enlightenment alone is more valuable than the swordsman’s three talents combined.
Comprehension is something that cannot be improved by using attribute points. The higher the comprehension, the greater the player's plasticity.
You know, the secret of the universe has its outer and inner parts.
A comprehension of 20 points can only comprehend the outer secrets, but if it is a high-level martial art, if one's own comprehension exceeds 30 points, one can comprehend the outer secrets, which is more powerful than the outer secrets.
And if your comprehension is above 40 points... maybe you can have an epiphany while eating or taking a shit.
You can practice a bunch of master-level skills and raise your comprehension to more than 30 points, or even more than 40 points. Then, you will have an endless supply of epiphany skills.
Various super moves, including Rioyi, whatever you want will come true.
This talent seems to only increase comprehension, but its value is simply immeasurable. It’s just that grandmaster-level skills are not easy to upgrade and require a lot of time, so the payback time will be relatively long.
Although the talent of Master of Controlling Qi is a bit ordinary and feels like a standard talent for Qi Refiners, it has all the attack, defense and healing skills, and can be considered a talent above the passing line.
It's just that the setting of consuming spiritual energy is a bit disappointing. Spiritual energy is not mana. It cannot be restored by just taking medicine. It can only be restored by absorbing spiritual energy or refining monster pills. However, spiritual energy in the world is thin, and monster pills are only dropped by powerful monsters. How can they be easily obtained?
It's all about using it little by little, and don't use it easily.
Fortunately, I have learned the art of qigong now, so it should be of some help, right?
The manifestation of demon spirits also has great potential. Judging from the fact that the four demon cores currently provide three enhancement effects (the degraded wolf demon core is obviously of too low quality to be useful), if dozens of demon cores are consumed in the future, won’t the basic attributes skyrocket?
I can definitely train myself to be a hexagonal warrior, with all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor skills... No, it should be all-round development in physical strength, endurance, and agility.
However, there are some tricks to brushing attribute points. Among the three inner elixirs, except for the one that adds 20 points of poison resistance for the snake demon, the other two add 3 points of strength and 1 point of agility. It can be seen that it is probably because [the effect will be attenuated when the attribute is too high]. It is very likely that my agility is too high, so I only added 1 point.
In this case, when you eat the monster's inner elixir, you still have to prioritize improving your strength, endurance, and physical fitness, which is more cost-effective.
As long as it is done properly,
In the end, it is no problem to have all attributes 50-60-even 70+.
The only hidden danger is the changes that occur after the alienation reaches 100%. This talent is not clear about it and even uses the word "warning", which shows that there is a certain risk.
Will he turn into a monster after 100%? Or will his mind be occupied by the monster's consciousness?
This will require further study later.
Xiao Jie's mind was racing, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, while I, who wanted to become an immortal, was getting impatient.
"How's it going, Brother Feng, what profession did you find?"
"Swordsmen, archers, and - ancient Qi cultivators!" As Xiao Jie said the last five words, he clicked the mouse without hesitation.
[System prompt: You have chosen the Ancient Qi Refiner as your second basic profession. You have learned a new skill - [Qi-gazing Technique]. You have gained a new professional talent...]
Become!
Seeing that the occupation behind the name above his head had changed to 'Yin Yue Sui Feng (an ancient Qi-refining practitioner)', Xiao Jie finally felt relieved.
I have officially taken the first step on my path to becoming an immortal.
Qigong, Qigong - let me see where the spiritual energy is.
It would be good if the art of looking at qi could find spiritual energy.
After clicking on the Qi-gazing technique, Xiao Jie saw his character stop and stare with his eyes shining, and everything around him immediately turned into a strange light blue hue.
This special effect reminded Xiao Jie of the Demon Hunter's Eye in The Witcher 3.
According to the skill description, the aura will appear as white light in the field of vision.
However, when I looked around, I found nothing except the very faint white light on Ye Luo and I, Yu Chengxian.
Xiao Jie was not surprised. Spiritual energy was not something that could be easily found everywhere on the map. He would just have to search for it slowly and look for it often.
But suddenly, a prompt flashed in the information bar.
[System prompt: After using the Qi-gazing technique, you can faintly sense a spiritual force coming from the north.]
Oh, I really saw it?
The North?
Xiao Jie looked towards the north, which was the direction of the entrance to the Hundred Wolf Cave.
Xiao Jie clicked on the small map, and sure enough, a white spot of light appeared deep in the Hundred Wolf Cave.
Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the Wolf King Chimei has very strong spiritual power. We must capture him this time.
This Qi-gazing technique is indeed very useful. Not only can it be used to find spiritual energy, but it will also be convenient for finding monster bosses in the future.
Then Xiao Jie added all the 10 newly acquired attribute points to his physique.
Originally, these attribute points were quite tight, as I lacked everything. But now with the talent of the demon spirit manifestation, I am not afraid anymore. In this case, I naturally prioritize physique and agility. The higher the blood volume, the better. The same goes for the main attribute.
But now the blood volume is too low, so let’s add blood first.
After 10 points of physical fitness, the health point directly reaches 470 points.
Then Xiao Jie changed the old man's hat.
Now the sub-attribute becomes.
Basic attributes——
Constitution: 42 (equipment +2).
Stamina: 22 (+2 with equipment).
Strength: 25 (equipment +2)
Agility: 52 (equipment +6)
Poison resistance +20, fire resistance +20, ice resistance +20.
Advanced attributes——
Spirit: 19 (equipment +7)
Spirituality:30.
Perception: 9.
Faith: 7.
Special attributes——
Perception: 20 (equipment +1)
Luck: 12.
[System prompt: Your comprehension has reached 20 points, and you have gained a level of enlightenment.]
Looking at the enlightenment BUFF above his head, Xiao Jie laughed out loud. Now he could stay in the enlightened state permanently.
You don’t even need to take pills.
"It seems that you are quite capable in this profession." Ye Luo listened to Xiao Jie's laughter and said thoughtfully.
"It's not just good, it's absolutely good! My profession..." Xiao Jie was feeling proud when a skull pattern representing fear suddenly appeared above his head.
Then his character suddenly turned around and ran, screaming as he ran - Aaaaahhh!
Damn, what the hell?
Xiao Jie was startled by this sudden change, and he frantically pressed the keyboard and mouse, trying to get back control. However, the character in the fear state was not under the control of the player, and just ran around. Xiao Jie's eyelids were twitching. They were still in the Howling Moon Forest, a map full of monsters. It would be dangerous if they attracted a bunch of monsters and couldn't control them.
Fortunately, the fear effect only lasted for a few seconds before recovering.
As Xiao Jie approached the two people who were chasing him, he looked around, wondering if there was a magic monster attacking him? Did it secretly cast a spell to create fear for him? However, he looked around but found nothing, and he didn't even enter the battle.
What the hell is going on?
Xiao Jie was a little confused, but luckily this was a game and there were naturally battle records for him to check. He clicked on the battle record and took a look.
[System prompt: The demon soul in your body has moved abnormally, and you are frightened.]
Damn, it turned out to be due to the haunting of an evil spirit. I was curious about what effect this thing had, but I didn’t expect it could actually trigger fear?
Xiao Jie moved the mouse to his character's head, and sure enough, there was an extra DEBUFF.
[Haunted by a demon: A powerful demon's residual spirit is haunting you...]
Xiao Jie thought this was not good. It was okay under normal circumstances, but it would be dangerous if it happened suddenly at a critical moment in a battle.
Well, let’s find a way to drive away the evil first.
Xiao Jie directly equipped himself with the sacred wood talisman and used a spell to ward off evil spirits. A white light flashed, but the state of being possessed by the evil spirit still did not disappear.
It really doesn’t work…
Xiao Jie sighed. This result was not too unexpected to him. After all, the talent introduction clearly stated, [Fulfill his long-cherished wish to make him pass away, or find a Taoist master to use "advanced" exorcism spells to dispel him.]
This evil spirit requires a high-level exorcism spell to dispel. After all, the sacred wood talisman is just a low-level magic weapon obtained from the novice village mission. Although it is a good thing, it is of low grade. It can't be a big problem to exorcise a small ghost, but it is definitely not so easy to deal with a heavyweight existence like the evil spirit.
Let’s just ask for help.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Bai Ze, do you know advanced exorcism techniques?
Bai Ze: No, you said it was an "advanced" exorcism technique. It sounds like this is something that only advanced professions can learn. I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest, how can I learn it?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Deidara, do you know advanced exorcism techniques?
Deidara: No, I'm a five-element sorcerer, and I use elemental magic. Exorcism is the specialty of heavenly masters, or maybe fairy magicians can do it too.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Qian Long Wu Yong, is there a celestial master in our guild?
Qianlongwuyong: No, what’s wrong?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I’ve been possessed by evil spirits, it’s not a big deal, it’s okay, I can handle it myself.
Xiao Jie closed the private message channel, thinking that it seemed that he could only complete the long-cherished wish mission. In fact, he should be able to contact a heavenly master by asking Qianlong Wuyong to help him, but he had already asked the guild for too much help, so he should handle this kind of small matter by himself.
When it comes to favors, owe as little as possible.
"Let's go back to the city. I have to get rid of the evil spirit that's haunting me first."
As soon as the three of them returned to Luoyang Town, Xiao Jie went straight to the second floor of the inn.
I paid for a room and lay down to sleep as soon as I entered.
Ye Luo looked at it in wonder and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Yin Yue, what are you doing?"
"Ah, I know, Brother Feng is about to fall asleep."
I Want to Become an Immortal recognized Xiao Jie's actions immediately. He had experienced the adventure with Brother Feng about the Ginkgo Fairy. At that time, the two of them fell asleep in a room in a tavern in Ginkgo Village and met the Ginkgo Fairy.
Xiao Jie said: "That's right, this demon spirit can only be seen in dreams, so let me take a nap first."
Looking at his character lying on the bed, Xiao Jie used the action - Sleep.
After a while, a string of ZZZZ symbols appeared above Xiao Jie's head.
"Hey, you're starting to dream now." Ye Luo asked curiously.
"Wait a moment. Even dreaming takes some time." I explained with ease.
Xiao Jie was also waiting patiently. His character had fallen asleep, so the computer screen became blurry. Although he could hear the conversation between the two people, the sound seemed a little vague, as if there was a layer between them.
I have to say that the details of this game are really well done, even the sleeping mechanism is so realistic.
Ye Luo seemed to ask something again, and I Want to Become an Immortal also answered, but Xiao Jie could no longer hear clearly at this time. Then, the voices of the two disappeared completely, and the light around the screen also became dim.
Xiao Jie immediately realized that he was about to enter the dream world.
The surroundings became increasingly darker and darker until it became pitch black. Only his own character was lying in the darkness, motionless. Soon even the bed beneath him disappeared, and he seemed to be falling in the darkness.
Xiao Jie's mouse and keyboard were both ready for a meeting with the demon spirit, which might even trigger a battle.
By the way, if I was killed in a dream, I wouldn’t be really dead, right?
Finally, Xiao Jie stopped falling. Xiao Jie pressed W, and the character immediately stood up and started running in the dark dream world.
After looking around, I vaguely saw a blood-red light coming from one direction.
Xiao Jie ran towards the direction where the light came from.
From a distance, I saw a giant tiger lying in the darkness, biting something with its mouth wide open.
Wei Li Shanjun (the remaining soul of the tiger demon): Level 28, HP: 530.
Hey, why is the health bar so low? Is it because of the residual soul?
Xiao Jie slowly moved closer, and when he was closer he finally saw clearly that what the Wei Li Shanjun was gnawing on was the corpse of a giant snake that was about ten meters long.
As if sensing Xiao Jie's gaze, the giant tiger turned around abruptly. Although it was a tiger, it had a rough human shape, with strong tendon muscles, claws like knives, eyes like lightning, and an astonishing aura.
"Fuck you, you ate my inner elixir? I'm going to destroy you today!"
Without saying a word, Wei Lishanjun rushed towards Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie was immediately shocked. Damn it, why did they start fighting right after meeting? Didn't they say they were going to issue a long-cherished wish mission?
I have a talent for affinity with wild beasts!
Fortunately, Xiao Jie had already prepared for the battle, and immediately used Qinggong to pull away violently. Unexpectedly, all his skills could be used in the dream world. Feiyun Zhuyue flew into the sky.
When the Lord of the Mountain Wei Li saw this, he sneered, "How could you have such ability? I underestimated you. Wait till your grandfather Tiger roars!"
Roar!
The tiger roars terrifyingly!
The roar covered a wide area, and a pattern of fear immediately appeared above Xiao Jie's head. Even his lightness skills were interrupted and he fell from the sky.
With a thud, he lost 37 points of blood.
At the same time, the health bar also appeared above the head.
Yin Yue Sui Feng (ancient Qi cultivator): Level 20, HP: 153/190.
(Damn, there was a health bar in my dream! Why is my health limit only 190?)
While Xiao Jie was filled with inexplicable shock, he did not hesitate at all in his actions. The enemy was too strong, so he decided to just use his ultimate move.
Secret - damn, he's still in a state of fear.
Xiao Jie wanted to use his ultimate move but failed to do so. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, am I going to die like this?
The next second, the tiger pounced on Xiao Jie at such a speed that he didn't have time to react.
The tiger pounces!
-
76!
Another throat lock...
[System prompt: You are defeated——You are awake. ]
The scene before my eyes instantly changed from darkness back to the inn room.
Xiao Jie looked at his health bar in shock. Fortunately, it was full. It seemed that what happened in the dream was not real, and it would be okay if he died.
His heart was beating so fast, he was so scared just now.
This evil spirit is really hard to deal with, luckily it is not really dead.
There is just one more DEBUFF on the head.
Nightmare Horror: You are brutally murdered in your dream and wake up from it. Your spirit level is -1 (lasts for 24 hours).
Being killed in a dream actually made me feel less energetic... Fortunately, it was only temporary.
Wait, spirit? Xiao Jie looked at his spirit attribute, 19 points (now 18), mana 0/180.
So that's it! Xiao Jie suddenly realized that mana is the upper limit of health in the dream!
Yes, in the dream, you are not a physical body, but a spiritual body. The health bar of this spiritual body is the blue bar in reality, isn’t it?
"Brother Feng, why did you wake up? Have you received the mission?" I, Yu Chengxian, asked with concern.
"Don't mention it. He was killed by the evil spirit. Fortunately, he is not really dead. It doesn't matter. I will go to meet him later." Xiao Jie said and clicked on the bed again, entering the dream again.
