[Illusory Body Divine Vein] (Legendary Talent)

Description: A growth-type legendary talent. As cultivation increases, new talent effects will automatically awaken.

Talent Effects:

There are four stages in total.

First Stage: Illusory Sound (Qi Refining Realm): 1. Sonic wave type spell skills +5 levels. 2. Can transform one's own voice into any sound. Note: The transformed sound cannot be conjured from imagination; it must be a sound previously heard by oneself.

Second Stage: Illusory Eyes (Foundation Establishment Realm): 1. Pupil technique skills +5 levels. 2. Can transform one's own eyes into the pupils of any creature. Note: The transformed pupils cannot be conjured from imagination; they must be pupils previously witnessed by oneself.

Third Stage: Illusory Appearance (Golden Core Realm): Transform one's own facial features into the appearance of any creature. Note: The transformed appearance cannot be conjured from imagination; it must be a face previously seen by oneself.

Fourth Stage: Illusory Body (Nascent Soul Realm): Can transform one's body into that of any creature. Note: To use the Illusory Body, one must obtain a physical sample of the creature one wishes to transform into.

The Illusory Body Divine Vein is not a well-known special talent. Therefore, it is understandable that Lin Yao's father was unable to investigate the specifics of Lin Yao's constitution.

In his previous life, some players had compiled all the known legendary talents in "Nine Heavens" and created a game video to introduce them in detail.

Lu Qingshan had naturally watched it. After finishing, he memorized the attributes of most of the legendary talents in "Nine Heavens."

An exceptional memory was also one of the reasons Lu Qingshan stood out among many players.

In the game, he was even nicknamed the [Nine Heavens Encyclopedia].

This was also why Lu Qingshan understood the Illusory Body Divine Vein so well.

The Illusory Body Divine Vein is a growth-type legendary talent.

Lu Qingshan naturally knew the value of legendary talents.

Lu Qingshan understood even more clearly that at any other point in time, it would be absolutely impossible to casually encounter an unknown young lady from the Lin Family who possessed a legendary talent like this.

However, there was a very important design philosophy in the game design of "Nine Heavens."

Chaos breeds heroes.

Great Xia was about to usher in an unprecedented era of chaos.

At this juncture in time, it should also be an era where heroes emerge in large numbers.

Therefore, the game developers significantly increased the probability of NPCs possessing legendary talents.

Thus, starting from the Corpse Puppet Uprising version, NPCs within the Human race possessing legendary talents would appear endlessly.

Lu Qingshan did not conceal the abilities of the Illusory Body Divine Vein from Lin Yao in the slightest, informing her in detail of everything he knew.

Lin Yao's eyes were unfocused; she seemed lost in thought.

A moment later.

Lin Yao snapped back to reality, looked at Lu Qingshan, and murmured, "Only Nascent Soul can awaken the fourth stage, Illusory Body."

Unlike Lu Qingshan's [Innate Sword Seed], not all of the talent effects of [Illusory Body Divine Vein] were activated from the start.

The talent effects of [Illusory Body Divine Vein] would gradually unlock, stage by stage, as Lin Yao's level (cultivation) increased.

Only when the Illusory Body effect was activated could the Illusory Body Divine Vein truly be considered a legendary talent.

And to unlock the fourth stage, Illusory Body, one needed Nascent Soul realm cultivation.

There were only a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators in the vast Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Relying on Lin Yao alone to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It would be very difficult!

The abilities of the Illusory Body Divine Vein were functional.

While it provided some slight enhancement to Lin Yao's combat power, it was not strong, merely reflected in the +5 levels for sonic wave type spell skills and pupil technique skills.

It offered no boost to Lin Yao's cultivation progression.

The Illusory Body Divine Vein could not provide much assistance for Lin Yao to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Lu Qingshan said calmly, "At your age, with only fifth-layer Qi Refining cultivation, your talent for cultivation can be considered extremely ordinary. Without external help, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator is absolutely impossible!"

Lu Qingshan had already investigated Lin Yao's attributes using the Heavenly Eye Technique and learned of her current cultivation realm.

Lu Qingshan was not speaking without basis.

He had never heard of Lin Yao's name.

This indicated that according to the original historical trajectory, Lin Yao did not become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Otherwise, with a fully awakened Illusory Body Divine Vein, Lin Yao wouldn't be unknown.

That's just how it is. Good talent can only help a cultivator rise better, but it doesn't guarantee they'll actually grow.

Many factors determine a cultivator's achievements; talent is just one of them.

Seeing Lin Yao didn't retort, Lu Qingshan continued, "And I can let you touch the Nascent Soul realm, or even higher."

"In return, when I need you, you will be at my service," Lu Qingshan stated directly.

He wasn't lusting after Lin Yao's body.

In Lu Qingshan's plans, he would definitely need to build his own network and influence in the future.

In a chaotic world, it's impossible to change things without sufficient power.

And Lin Yao, with her legendary talent, was undoubtedly the greatest potential asset he had encountered so far.

If he didn't find a way to bring her under his wing, wouldn't that be a terrible waste?

Lin Yao was stunned, then fell silent for a long time.

Finally, Lin Yao frowned slightly, looked at Lu Qingshan's face, and chuckled as she shook her head, "Young Master Lu, I am deeply grateful for your help this time. However, I'm afraid it's not quite right for you to try and persuade me to sell myself with just a few words.

I understand my own cultivation talent. I daresay even a Nascent Soul True Person wouldn't dare guarantee I could reach Nascent Soul.

Although Young Master Lu's swordsmanship is extraordinary, you are still just a Qi Refining cultivator..."

For a cultivator to reach the Nascent Soul realm is determined by many unknowns such as opportunity, talent, and willpower.

Lu Qingshan's claim of helping Lin Yao reach Nascent Soul would sound utterly absurd to anyone else.

If you yourself are merely a Qi Refining cultivator, how dare you speak such arrogant words?

Lin Yao naturally didn't believe him. But regardless, Lu Qingshan was her savior, so Lin Yao's refusal was extremely tactful.

Lu Qingshan understood this as well.

To win over a cultivator with legendary talent simply by making empty promises – is there such a cheap thing in the world?

In games, to raise a legendary NPC's favorability to 'worship,' wouldn't you still need to complete a hundred or so sequential quests?

It was reasonable for Lin Yao not to believe him.

However, Lu Qingshan wasn't in a hurry.

There was plenty of time; Lin Yao couldn't escape his grasp.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan wasn't annoyed by Lin Yao's polite refusal. He agreed, "Miss Lin, you speak wisely."

Lin Yao smiled charmingly, "If Young Master Lu can truly do as you say, what harm is there in me dedicating myself to you?"

Lin Yao's meaning was simple: if Lu Qingshan could prove his words, she would be willing to pledge allegiance to him.

The temptation of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator – how many cultivators in this world could resist it?

If Lu Qingshan could truly help her reach Nascent Soul, what were Lu Qingshan's conditions in comparison?

Lu Qingshan was determined to have Lin Yao.

The abilities of the Illusory Body Divine Vein, if used well, could surpass any other ability in certain situations!

And to unleash the capabilities of the Illusory Body Divine Vein.

First and most fundamentally, Lin Yao needed to become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Secondly, Lin Yao needed sufficient willpower to effectively utilize the abilities of the Illusory Body Divine Vein.

The uniqueness of the Illusory Body Divine Vein meant that its upper and lower limits would be extremely disparate.

It all depended on how the person possessing it chose to use it.

In the game world of "Nine Heavens," there has always been a saying.

There are no trash abilities, only trash players.

Lu Qingshan didn't entirely agree with this saying. While it held some truth, overall, the statement was too extreme.

However, if the saying were reversed, Lu Qingshan would agree wholeheartedly.

There are no strongest abilities, only strongest players.

So, whether the Illusory Body Divine Vein was strong or not still depended on how Lin Yao used it.

Fortunately, Lin Yao's impression on Lu Qingshan so far had been quite good.
