Dungeon End

Although there was no system prompt, Ling Qing naturally understood that when using this energy to cast forest and earth elemental spells, he would be far more proficient.

Once everything settled down, Ling Qing stretched his limbs, adjusting to the sensation of having leveled up.

Even though his attributes had not increased, he still felt that his body was significantly stronger than before.

With a thought, he opened his panel:

Spellbook: Book of Nature (Expand details↓)

The sudden influx of information left Ling Qing stunned. After carefully sorting through it, he discovered that aside from the two class skills gained upon leveling up, the most significant changes were the knowledge acquired within the dungeon—Taoism, Medical Skills, and the Eight Divine Incantations—as well as the substantial amount of general experience points remaining after his level-up.

Medical Skills need not be discussed for now; they are used for treating illnesses and injuries, and it is estimated that they will provide bonuses when casting healing spells.

The Eight Divine Incantations, which he had fully comprehended, could not be upgraded due to a lack of information, but they had unlocked knowledge and skills related to Taoism.

At the same time, the bonuses provided for various aspects required for cultivation were quite comprehensive.

Whether it was temperament, comprehension, physical body, or environment, it practically covered every aspect involved in basic cultivation.

A single set of the Divine Incantations provided effects that were even more comprehensive than the Book of Nature.

However, the effects of the two could stack, and furthermore, Ling Qing could upgrade his spellbook in the future when he found more precious materials.

After reading through it back and forth several times, Ling Qing satisfiedly dismissed the panel information before him.

Now that the task entrusted by Wenxi was complete, the Eight Divine Incantations could not be improved, and the upgrading of the Five Animal Frolics could not be rushed.

Although he had already acquired the Wild Shape ability, because he had not chosen a Circle of the Wild, any transformation required Ling Qing to have a basic understanding of a specific animal.

Only after constant attempts could he transform into the corresponding animal form.

For example, to transform into the tiger form from the Five Animal Frolics, one must have a certain understanding of a tiger's living habits, movement patterns, and so on.

It would be best to live with one for a period of time.

Therefore, this would require a significant amount of time to learn and observe relevant knowledge, and only after fully mastering the transformation into that form could he continue to improve the level of his Five Animal Frolics.

Following this, Ling Qing would chant scriptures and practice martial arts with Tian Yong and the others every morning and evening, after which they would exchange their insights.

During this period, he would also ask them for combat experience; after all, the Five Animal Frolics he learned were primarily for improving physical fitness, and his combat techniques were practically zero.

The rest of the time, he spent healing the trees in the surrounding area that had been eroded by yin energy, gaining experience in the process.

At the same time, he searched for plantable seeds, which he would germinate and plant in the leveled soil.

In this way, the following days were spent by everyone seizing every moment to improve themselves, utilizing the time dilation within the dungeon.

From time to time, they would also ask the servants who delivered their meals about the situation in Tianshui Town, mainly hoping to see Wenxi once more before the end.

On the day before the dungeon ended, Wenxi finally finished handling matters at the temple and arrived at Tianshui Town once again.

The feng shui master had long since selected the burial site, and all preparations were ready.

"We have finally waited for you, Daoist. Please, this way!"

Upon seeing Wenxi, the elderly Old Master Liu was overjoyed, trotting forward to greet him and personally leading the way.

After much fanfare and music, the deceased was laid to rest, and the living enjoyed a lively meal.

Ling Qing and his companions, in particular, occupied a table to themselves, with specifications equal to those of the local gentry; after all, while the townspeople were unwilling to interact with them, they dared not offend them either.

Afterward, everyone received a gift of money from Old Master Liu.

When night fell, back in the same ancestral hall, Ling Qing and the others seized the time to seek guidance from the Daoist.

Tian Yong and the others, in particular, vied to comprehend all the Divine Incantations before the dungeon concluded.
