Special Skill

After meeting Qin An, Qin Shaofeng was called away by Old Master Qin.

Learning from Qin An that Wu Sancai had been killed by Qin Shaofeng, Old Master Qin was extremely shocked.

Although Old Master Qin had already learned the general details from Qin An, he still wanted to hear the specifics from Qin Shaofeng.

But when he learned that Qin Shaofeng's current realm had already reached the seventh level of Houtian, he was shocked again.

How many days had it been? This kid had already advanced to the seventh level of Houtian?

It was so unbelievable that even his own son, whom he had once prided himself on as a genius, Qin Shaofeng's father, was far inferior!

However, it was precisely because of these things that Old Master Qin finally stopped questioning Qin Shaofeng further.

According to his old man's words, no matter what, Qin Shaofeng was his grandson, and no matter what happened to him, that fact would not change.

Hearing these words, Qin Shaofeng thought that Old Master Qin had noticed his soul fusion.

But after a conversation, Qin Shaofeng vaguely understood that according to his grandfather's words, he probably thought Qin Shaofeng had encountered some fortuitous encounter, perhaps taken a powerful expert as a master, and so on, rather than knowing about his soul fusion.

However, Qin Shaofeng didn't explain much about this either, because it was for the best. It allowed him to not have any psychological burden towards Old Master Qin.

After finishing his conversation with Old Master Qin, Qin Shaofeng finally returned to his room.

The journey before had not only left him exhausted but also brought him benefits, and for him, it was a great benefit.

That was, after that journey, his Yi Jin Jing had finally been upgraded.

Yi Jin Jing: Level 2 (1500 points). A Saint-tier passive skill. Although not a God-tier cultivation technique, this technique is special, containing another cultivation technique created by Old Ancestor Bodhidharma, the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, thus possessing the powerful ability to cleanse the body and mind. Currently at level 2, it can increase the player's Inner Qi by five times the original amount. (Level 2 Yi Jin Jing can recover 5 points of Inner Qi per minute).

With Level 2 Yi Jin Jing, not only did the multiplier for Inner Qi increase from the original three times to five times, but the Inner Qi recovered per minute also increased from 1 point to 5 points.

This was quite a significant change.

With this change, and given Qin Shaofeng's current seventh level of Houtian realm, his Inner Qi surged by another tier, directly reaching 2500 points, an increase of a full 1000 points from before.

This was good news for Qin Shaofeng.

After all, the more Inner Qi he had, the more powerful the Little Li Flying Dagger could unleash.

Even with only the strength of the seventh level of Houtian, Qin Shaofeng was now confident that he could instantly kill a Demonic Beast at the peak of the intermediate tenth level, equivalent to the tenth level of Houtian.

Of course, that was assuming he had the opportunity.

And in the future, as his realm increased, Qin Shaofeng's Inner Qi would continue to grow, and thus his strength would become even greater.

This also made Qin Shaofeng look forward to the next upgrade of the Yi Jin Jing even more.

After examining the changes in the Yi Jin Jing, Qin Shaofeng's gaze finally fell upon the lottery chance he had obtained from completing the three-star quest, 'Upgrade'.

However, Qin Shaofeng also noticed that this lottery chance he had obtained was a special one.

The first time Qin Shaofeng obtained a lottery chance, it was only a Normal Lottery.

Qin Shaofeng also discovered that in the System's lottery section, there were two options: Normal and Special.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Normal Lottery was inferior to the Special Lottery, otherwise Qin Shaofeng wouldn't have drawn a God-tier skill like the Little Li Flying Dagger.

The reason for the distinction was that the Special Lottery section contained special skills and special items.

Skills and items obtained from the Normal Lottery were not necessarily usable immediately.

It was Qin Shaofeng's good luck the first time to draw a skill like the Little Li Flying Dagger, which had no restrictions. If he had drawn a skill that required certain prerequisites, or perhaps some Saint-tier or God-tier elixirs.

Would Qin Shaofeng be able to use them?

Qin Shaofeng had seen some powerful skills in the System, but they required certain prerequisites, such as having a specific physique or reaching a certain level before the player could learn them.

Not to mention Saint-tier or God-tier elixirs; even if such elixirs were given to Qin Shaofeng, with his current realm, consuming them would absolutely be courting death.

But the skills and items in the Special Lottery section were different.

In the Special Lottery, no matter how powerful the skills and items were, they could be directly used by the player.

Also, another point was that the Special Lottery would not, like the Normal Lottery, contain some impractical or useless items for the player.

Items like lighters or mobile phones would never appear in the Special Lottery.

Everything in the Special Lottery consisted of skills and items that were beneficial to the player, and would never disappoint.

Therefore, Qin Shaofeng was secretly happy to have obtained this special lottery chance.

"Hmm, I wonder what kind of special reward I'll get, a special skill or a special item?"

Muttering softly, Qin Shaofeng immediately issued the lottery command to the System.

The Special Lottery interface was very similar to the Normal Lottery interface, resembling a slot machine, and it also had one hundred small grids.

However, unlike the Normal Lottery, the one hundred small grids did not display any names; they all emitted a uniform faint glow.

This also indicated that there were no restrictions on the lottery items in the Special Lottery, making it even more anticipated than the explicitly displayed prizes in the Normal Lottery.

"System Prompt: Does player Qin Shaofeng wish to use a lottery chance to perform a Special Lottery?"

Soon, a prompt came from the System.

Yes!

He silently recited in his mind, and the familiar slot machine music began to play. The one hundred small grids on the Special Lottery interface lit up one by one.

After a short while, the bright light finally stopped on a small grid. The small grid then flashed slightly, and immediately after, a beam of white light shot out, directly passing through the System's attribute interface and flying into Qin Shaofeng's forehead, entering his mind.

Just then, the System suddenly let out a "ding dong" notification sound.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qin Shaofeng for obtaining the special skill Alchemy. Does player Qin Shaofeng wish to learn the special skill Alchemy?"

Alchemy?

Upon hearing the System's notification, Qin Shaofeng was first startled, then filled with immense joy.

Alchemy, as the name suggests, was the skill to refine pills, wasn't it?

This was a great thing!

As he thought about being able to refine pills, and then thought about the dazzling array of countless pills he had seen in the System store.

Qin Shaofeng suddenly became a little excited and couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, I want to learn Alchemy!"

Buzz!

The moment Qin Shaofeng said "yes," he felt a slight tremor in his mind, and then the System notification sounded again.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player Qin Shaofeng for obtaining the special skill Alchemy!"

Alchemy: Level 1 [00], Special Skill. Can refine pills. Success rate is based on the level of Alchemy and the pill being refined. Higher levels mean a greater success rate and higher-level pills. Currently Level 1, allowing the player to refine Mortal-grade pills.

(Note: Level 1 Alchemy requires a certain amount of Inner Qi each time it is activated. Refining a 1-star Mortal-grade pill consumes 10 Inner Qi; refining a 2-star Mortal-grade pill consumes 20 Inner Qi; refining a 3-star Mortal-grade pill consumes 30 Inner Qi.)

"Haha, it really is Alchemy!"

Looking at the attributes of Alchemy, Qin Shaofeng burst into laughter again, his face beaming with smiles.

Looking at Alchemy, he even seemed to see countless pills beckoning to him in a daze.

"With this Alchemy, even without points, I won't be short of pills."

Qin Shaofeng said excitedly, then suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to a corner of the room, rummaging around.

After a few searches, Qin Shaofeng finally found what he was looking for—more than a dozen stalks of Qi Yuan Grass.

These more than a dozen stalks of Qi Yuan Grass were the last of the Qi Yuan Grass that Qin Shaofeng had obtained in the Black Horn Mountain Range and had not yet used.

Qi Yuan Grass was the medicinal ingredient needed to refine Qi Replenishing Pills. Since he now had Alchemy, Qin Shaofeng naturally wanted to try refining Qi Replenishing Pills himself.

However, after finding the Qi Yuan Grass, Qin Shaofeng realized he was still missing a crucial tool: the alchemy cauldron needed for refining pills.

Even with Alchemy, an alchemy cauldron was required when refining pills.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaofeng rushed out of the room again to find an alchemy cauldron.

To try out the joy of refining pills as quickly as possible, Qin Shaofeng walked very fast, not even noticing Little Yue'er playing with Bai Xue outside his room. This made the little girl curious for a moment.

Half an hour later, Qin Shaofeng returned with a dejected look.

Because after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any alchemy cauldrons in the Qin Manor. There were plenty of incense burners, but could those be used to refine pills?

Qin Shaofeng dared not agree.

However, Qin Shaofeng did not return empty-handed.

In the end, out of desperation, Qin Shaofeng made a decision that would completely shock all alchemists.

Since he couldn't find any alchemy cauldrons, Qin Shaofeng went directly to the kitchen and asked Qin Dabao for a large pot.

That's right, a large pot!

In the absence of an alchemy cauldron, the first thing Qin Shaofeng thought of to substitute for an alchemy cauldron was the large cooking pot in the kitchen.

In Qin Shaofeng's opinion, the difference between a cooking pot and an alchemy cauldron shouldn't be that big.

But among alchemists, even the slightest bit normal novice alchemist would never think of using a large pot to replace an alchemy cauldron.

Because the idea was too bizarre and too reckless.

But Qin Shaofeng not only had this idea, but he actually did it!

When Little Yue'er saw Qin Shaofeng return with a large pot, she was startled and became even more curious. She couldn't help but follow Qin Shaofeng, wanting to see what he was trying to do.

Qin Shaofeng didn't pay attention to this. In his subconscious, he even wanted to show off in front of Little Yue'er.

Then, after refining a Qi Replenishing Pill, he would proudly say to the little girl, "Your young master is also an alchemist now."
