Breakthrough to Third Grade, Special Profession, Invitation from Myriad Manifestations Tower

"Blood Dragon Devouring Art!"

Chen Feng's mind stirred slightly, and then he directly began to use the meridian cultivation route of the Blood Dragon Devouring Art.

Coupled with his Energy Absorption talent, he was constantly refining this demon essence blood.

[You have refined Fourth Rank demon essence blood, your Blood Dragon Devouring Art proficiency has increased by 10 points.]

[Your Blood Dragon Devouring Art proficiency is continuously increasing.]

As bottle after bottle of demon essence blood was refined, Chen Feng's Blood Dragon Devouring Art second stage proficiency continued to rise.

It wasn't until the fifth bottle of Fourth Rank demon essence blood was refined that new information finally refreshed on the panel.

Buzz!

In that instant, Chen Feng felt a surge of immense energy.

It permeated his entire body.

Following that, his flesh and blood began a new transformation.

[Your Blood Dragon Devouring Art second stage has reached the perfect realm.]

[Your Blood Dragon Devouring Art has broken through to the third stage, entry-level realm.]

[Cultivation: Third-grade early stage]

[Cultivation Technique: Blood Dragon Devouring Art (Third stage entry-level progress 1%)]

Chen Feng's eyes lit up, "It's finally broken through?"

At this moment, the Blood Essence within him was circulating rapidly.

His flesh and blood were transforming to become even stronger.

Sensing the increase in his cultivation, his eyes also held a hint of joy.

He had finally broken through to the Third-grade realm.

It was indeed incredibly fast to improve by refining demon essence blood.

Looking at the remaining eleven bottles of demon essence blood, a bright light flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

"Let's see if this demon essence blood can help my cultivation reach a higher realm."

Currently, his cultivation had reached Third-grade.

And True Qi had already condensed within him.

The cultivation of the Blood Dragon Devouring Art was related to the demon essence blood he devoured.

For other Martial Artists who practiced similar cultivation techniques, their greatest concern was the killing aura contained within the demon essence blood.

If they were not careful, they might be impacted by the killing aura, suffer soul damage, or even go mad.

Or worse, become a lackey of the demons.

However, for Chen Feng, there was no such worry.

As long as he continued to cultivate, the inherent traits he had awakened would suppress all the killing aura within this demon essence blood.

He didn't need to worry about it at all.

Under these circumstances, as long as he had enough demon essence blood, his cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds.

"Continue cultivating." Chen Feng's eyes held some anticipation, wondering what talent he would awaken this time when the third stage of the Blood Dragon Devouring Art reached proficient progress.

And when would he be able to fuse all the talents of the Blood Dragon Devouring Art together?

If that happened, he would surely awaken an incredibly terrifying talent.

However, as he waited for the information to refresh after continuing to refine the demon essence blood, Chen Feng's expression turned somewhat grim.

[You have refined Fourth Rank demon essence blood, your proficiency has increased by +5.]

[You have refined Fourth Rank demon essence blood...]

The information continued to refresh.

But it made Chen Feng's expression extremely ugly. After breaking through in cultivation, the proficiency gained from Fourth Rank demon essence blood was actually affected so greatly.

Originally, when he was in the Second-grade realm, one bottle of Fourth Rank demon essence blood could bring ten points of proficiency.

After breaking through, it only brought five points.

This made Chen Feng sigh inwardly.

After absorbing the remaining Fourth Rank demon essence blood, the third stage of his Blood Dragon Devouring Art reached 55% entry-level progress.

There was still a significant gap before awakening a new talent.

"What should I do next?" Chen Feng pondered.

Since the demon essence blood was not enough.

At the school's resource exchange, only one thousand reserve points remained.

Even if he used them all, he could only exchange for two bottles of fourth-rank demon essence blood.

"What should I do?" Chen Feng sat cross-legged, deep in thought.

Should he accept investment from other factions?

After hearing some information from Wan Baoyang, he continued to gather more details on this matter.

Faction investments involved high-grade demon essence blood.

A single bottle cost at least a thousand taels of silver.

Regardless of the faction, these were extremely precious resources.

They were used in alchemy, weapon forging, cultivation, and other areas.

Once such resources were accepted, contracts were usually signed.

Although they seemed to have no restrictions, positions like guest elder or guard were typically appended.

If one's cultivation broke through and they became powerful, it was fine. But if they lacked strength, they would likely be bound by the contract.

In such a situation, they would have to complete tasks assigned by the other party, including dangerous missions, which was considered normal.

There were even instances where individuals encountered danger or perished during these missions.

After all, while being first on the Minor Storm and Cloud Ranking brought fame, there were at least a thousand Storm and Cloud Towers throughout the Great Gan Dynasty, and the top position in these towers was frequently taken by newcomers.

While it attracted attention, it was only that.

Only the Human Ranking, renowned throughout the Great Gan Dynasty, truly attracted the attention of countless factions to top prodigies.

"Or perhaps I need to start figuring out how to make money," Chen Feng mused.

Since entering Black Stone City, he had been spending the income he brought from Huang Haisheng's home.

After that, he relied on the points earned from challenging the Storm and Cloud Tower for his cultivation.

Given his talent, if he wanted to earn money...

Chen Feng pondered for a moment and then had an idea: "Special professions."

Based on the information he had gathered, Martial Artists were the most common profession in the Great Gan Dynasty.

No matter what they did, it was almost always related to being a Martial Artist.

Besides Martial Artists, there were also the most lucrative professions.

Such as Alchemists, Weapon Forgers, Formation Masters, Beast Tamers, and so on.

These all offered extremely high incomes.

Among them, the pills produced by Alchemists greatly aided the cultivation of Martial Artists.

Especially when encountering bottlenecks, Chen Feng didn't feel any obstacles due to his system.

However, for the vast majority of ordinary Martial Artists, if they encountered a bottleneck, having pills to reduce the difficulty would make them willing to spend any amount of money.

In addition to that, there were weapons that could enhance a Martial Artist's combat power. A good weapon could even double a Martial Artist's combat strength.

Of course, this was within the same tier. For example, in the Lower Three Ranks, the combat power of someone holding a weapon was different from someone without one.

In the Middle Three Ranks, a fourth-grade Martial Artist wielding an Earth-grade weapon could even defeat a fifth-grade Martial Artist who had no weapon.

After reaching the sixth-grade realm, there were new changes.

However, overall, possessing a good weapon provided a significant advantage within the same level.

Then there were Formation Masters, who were rather unique. They utilized various terrains or Spirit Stones to set up various formations.

These formations could be used for defense, trapping and killing, offense, and other purposes.

For major factions, having a good defensive formation was almost crucial to their survival.

With a powerful sect-protecting formation, they could completely delay for a period of time.

This would greatly increase the chances of survival for the Martial Artists.

Furthermore, Formation Masters could engrave some formations onto formation plates. Once thrown out, these formations acted as instant attacks.

They were also extremely terrifying.

As for Beast Tamers, they primarily tamed various demons.

After taming demons, they enslaved them, and these demonic beasts were of great use to various factions.

For instance, the horned horses used for travel, or the celestial cranes that flew in the sky, These were all demonic beasts with great utility within the Beast Taming Sect.

To cultivate these special professions, one needed sufficiently strong mental power.

Chen Feng felt reasonably confident in his own mental power.

Now, he just needed to decide which of these special professions to pursue.

He thought for just a moment.

Chen Feng began to form some ideas in his mind.

Based on the information he had gathered.

Alchemy required the most resources, needing a greater variety of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and so on, to refine pills.

Although the rewards were substantial, if there was even the slightest mistake during the refining process, incredibly valuable medicinal ingredients would almost certainly be wasted.

It was the same for Weapon Forgers as well; it could be said that the power of these professions was, most of the time, greatly dependent on the quality of the materials.

There were even some top-tier Weapon Forgers and Alchemists who would stay in extremely cold regions for several years without moving, all for a single precious heavenly material and earthly treasure.

They would simply wait for the chance to become famous throughout the world after a successful refinement.

Looking at these, Chen Feng couldn't help but shake his head. These were not what he wanted.

Only when he saw formations did a hint of surprise appear in his heart. "Do Formation Masters truly possess such immense power?"

His eyes held a touch of awe.

According to the books he had brought back from the Scripture Pavilion.

There were Formation Masters who, when their cultivation was weak, had used a peerless killing formation to directly annihilate a top-tier power.

And most importantly, the formations engraved by these Formation Masters primarily relied on the precision of the focus and the etchings.

"I can find some time to look for formation-related cultivation techniques."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

He had already made up his mind.

However, just then, Wan Baoyang returned. Upon seeing him, Wan Baoyang immediately smiled joyfully, "Chen Feng, you're out of seclusion?"

"My father wants to meet you."
