Which Secondary Profession Reigns Supreme

Then I'd find time to make a trip to Stone Desert City first. My eldest and second brothers had formed a mercenary group there.

Qing Lin was still suffering cold stares and exclusion there, living a hard life. I'd bring her to my side first.

She had served as my maid for nearly a hundred years and spent more time with me than any of my wives. Only Feng Qing Er could compare.

She was gentle and considerate, and we had great understanding between us. Her talent and strength were strong enough too; if cultivated early, she might not be unable to glimpse the Saint Rank.

Without her by my side, I actually felt somewhat unaccustomed.

The Women:!!!

He had suddenly mentioned such a woman in the Diary.

And he was saying she actually had the potential to become a Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme.

Was he sure he wasn't joking?

"Potential to break through to Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme!"

Inside a private room in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Feng Qing Er, who had just undressed to bathe, abruptly rose to her feet, her eyes filled with shock.

Based on the information she had learned from the Diary, pure-blooded royal Ancient Void Dragons and Ancient Heavenly Phoenixes possessed the potential to become Dou Emperors, but the world now lacked Origin Qi.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan were descendants whose Ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline had grown thin. They were similar to imperial clans whose Dou Di Bloodline had nearly dried up; even becoming a Dou Saint depended on opportunity.

Yet this Qing Lin possessed the aptitude to reach Saint-Rank Heaven Supreme.

Even if she needed Chu Xiao's support, it was still unbelievable.

"She must have some special talent."

"What talent in this world can surpass bloodline?"

Feng Qing Er bit her lip.

How could even one of Chu Xiao's maids be this powerful?

"Stone Desert City!"

Medusa flicked her purple snake tail, and a smile bloomed on her incomparably beautiful face.

The location she had discovered for the Green Lotus Core Flame was beneath the desert near the human city of Stone Desert City.

If Chu Xiao was coming, she could take the opportunity to meet him.

Just who was capable of making her willingly bear a daughter?

"It's me, right?"

"It must be me!"

Inside a small room at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group in Stone Desert City, Qing Lin's eyes shone with unprecedented light, and for the first time, her heart began to look forward to the future.

Stone Desert City of the Jia Ma Empire, a mercenary group formed by two brothers surnamed Xiao—combined with the names "Xiao Yan" and "Chu Xiao" that she had once heard the group leader mention, she could fully confirm that the Qing Lin Chu Xiao spoke of was her.

As a descendant of the Snake-People Tribe and humans, some parts of her body bore Snake-People Tribe scales. She had suffered bullying since childhood and struggled to survive.

Not long after she became aware of things, her mother, unable to endure the gossip of those around her, abandoned her. She could only survive by begging and had nearly become a slave.

Fortunately, she met Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, who had come to Stone Desert City to establish a mercenary group. They gave her the position of a maid responsible for chores, allowing her to stay alive.

And Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also among the few people she had met since birth who could look at her without strange expressions.

She had never expected this Young Master cousin to dislike her even less. He even thought she was good and wanted to keep her by his side as a personal maid.

So she, too, could be needed by someone. Someone could even feel unaccustomed when she was gone.

"Young Master Chu Xiao, Qing Lin will obediently wait for you to come!"

For the first time, a smile blossomed on Qing Lin's face, so pure that anyone who saw it would feel their heart cleansed.

For a time, each of The Women holding a Diary Copy had their own thoughts. Even if Chu Xiao stopped updating the Diary, they could not sleep.

They had only obtained this thing today, yet they could not help paying attention to it, afraid of missing any information.

For that reason, without exception, The Women all enabled Diary update notifications.

"Without a Diary to read, even melons don't taste good anymore." Twelve-year-old loli Cao Ying tossed aside her fruit and prepared to lie down and sleep.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiao closed the Diary and prepared to sleep as well.

This time, he had revealed quite a bit of information, but aside from Xun Er's identity, he had not mentioned key details such as Yao Chen being by Xiao Yan's side, Xiao Yi Xian possessing the Cursed Poison Body, or Qing Lin having the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

What if someone from the Soul Clan had a Diary, or Han Feng had a Diary Copy? They could come kill him at any moment.

The Cursed Poison Body was also highly attractive to certain people, such as Icy River Valley, while the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would draw the attention of the Mo Family and even the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

At that point, even if he could bind certain people's Diary Copies, the overall losses would be greater, so he had to remain steady for now.

Even if he had the broken Dou Emperor Small World as an escape route, it would only protect himself. The Xiao Family might still be implicated.

As for Xun Er, even if the Soul Clan learned of her, they would not recklessly do anything to her.

This was the critical period for Nihility Devouring Flame to elevate his Emperor Realm Soul and for Hun Tiandi to recover from his injuries.

A biological daughter whom Gu Yuan had sent to the Xiao Family instead of raising within the clan was not worth making a move against the Ancient Clan ahead of time.

As long as Xun Er's Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline was not exposed, there would be no problem.

Besides, nearly a day had passed, yet no Dou Saints or Dou Zuns had descended. He felt that powerful experts were unlikely to possess copies.

He would first fabricate the story according to Little Yan Zi's storyline, then adapt as things unfolded.

"Hmm?"

As he was about to drift into sleep, a message suddenly came from the Diary.

First day's diary completed. You have received one random Secondary Profession Gift Pack draw. Secondary professions include but are not limited to: Alchemist, Refinement Master, Talisman Master, Array Master, Origin Rune Master.

"Woohoo!"

Chu Xiao instantly woke up, opened his eyes, and sat up.

Startled awake from a dream—so I really was the one with the cheat.

The Diary was quite thoughtful. It was giving him a secondary profession.

Alchemist was not bad. At the very least, on the Dou Qi Continent, it was the most sought-after secondary profession.

Symbol Master was also acceptable. It was Brother Dong's specialty in the neighboring world, where eight Ancestor Talismans existed.

Array Master was naturally good as well. In the future, Potato's son Mu Chen would play with one of its branches, the War Array Master, in the Great Thousand World, and the thing sealing the Heavenly Evil God was also a grand array.

Origin Rune Master was pretty appealing too. Potato's father Zhou Yuan played with that one in the neighboring Heaven Source World.

"Then I'll choose refinement. It won't conflict with any of you, and we can help each other."

With that thought, Chu Xiao selected the draw.

My future self, whose strength will reach the Dominator Realm or perhaps an even higher realm, bless me with a good pull.

Secondary profession Alchemist unlocked. You have obtained the knowledge and experience of a first-tier alchemist, as well as ten random first-tier medicinal pill formulas!

The host may improve their Alchemist strength through personal effort. Upon reaching the second tier, they may randomly obtain nine pill formulas; at the third tier, eight formulas; and so on.

Chu Xiao: "..."

This Diary really had personality.

He had not even finished praying before the prize had already been drawn.

And there were no special effects, no process. It could not even pad the word count if written into a storybook.

"The Alchemist secondary profession is fine. After Little Yan Zi establishes the Endless Fire Territory, this identity will be respectable enough."

Chu Xiao had no complaints. He merely felt that being only a first-tier alchemist was somewhat low-level in terms of experience.

"I thought I could immediately go exchange notes with Yao Chen."

Chu Xiao greedily thought as he digested the additional knowledge in his mind.

There were also the experiences of repeatedly refining ten specific medicinal pills. He felt as if he were in a strange space, refining pills day after day until he gradually mastered their essence.

Once he had digested everything, he felt a trace of fatigue in his Soul Power and instinctively chose to visualize the Diary.

It was then that he suddenly realized something.

He had the alchemy knowledge, and he had the experience.

But where was the fire?

It was difficult for an alchemist to refine pills without fire.

"Hmm?"
