Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Grind Your Way to Divine Positions

Where would he find books on the Body Infusion Realm?

Qin An walked out the door while pondering.

At that moment, Qin An suddenly had an epiphany.

"The cultivation methods I deduced are all for the Body Infusion Realm. If I copy them down and study them in detail, would that count as completing the advancement requirements?"

Once this thought appeared, Qin An felt it was worth a try.

Gao Quan had finished his work for the day and was already waiting outside.

Seeing Qin An emerge, he immediately walked over.

"Brother Qin, I'll take you to your quarters."

Qin An snapped back to reality, temporarily suppressing his thoughts. "There are quarters?"

He had initially planned to find temporary lodging outside, not expecting Gao Quan to come for him first.

Gao Quan chuckled, "We're doing life-risking work, so the treatment naturally has to match. Not only do we have lodging, but it's very good lodging."

With that, he led Qin An in a brisk walk to a small courtyard.

In front of the courtyard was a room, its door wide open, revealing the furnishings inside.

Though simple, it had a certain elegance.

Gao Quan pointed to the room. "This is your lodging. Get familiar with it. If you need anything, go ten rooms east; that's where my place is."

Around them, similar rooms were densely arranged, all with extremely similar layouts.

This suited Qin An's intentions perfectly.

Having his own room meant he wouldn't expose his Golden Finger when practicing proficiency.

After Gao Quan left, Qin An entered the room, closed the door behind him, and found a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He wanted to try and advance using the books he had deduced.

The room was fully equipped with standard items like brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Qin An picked up his brush and began by writing down the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method.

This cultivation method was deduced from the Cold Source Cultivation Method and the Blazing Flame Cultivation Method, and it was already a Body Infusion Realm cultivation method.

Although it carried the attributes of the two original methods, it was considered Qin An's own creation, and he understood it thoroughly.

Before long, Qin An had transcribed the entire cultivation method and began to read it carefully while the ink was still wet.

Thanks to the Scholar profession's traits, and the fact that Qin An had created it himself, he encountered no obstacles in reading it.

After Qin An finished reading the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, smoke gradually condensed, twisting like black snakes.

[Scholar Lv. 4 (0/600): Your reading speed has slightly increased.]

[Talent: Body Infusion Realm Cultivation Method Comprehension - Great Success]

[Advanced]

Effective!

Qin An's heart stirred.

While his Golden Finger was strict at times, it was quite accommodating at crucial moments.

Qin An put down his brush, found a brazier, and burned the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method to ashes.

He planned to practice the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method again.

Now that his Scholar profession had broken through to level four, he wanted to test if he could use his talent to deduce the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method to Great Success.

Qin An sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the Qi within his body according to the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method's path.

Smoke appeared, and between the snake-like movements, it condensed into text.

[You are cultivating the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method, triggering the Body Infusion Realm Cultivation Method Comprehension - Great Success talent.]

[Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method (Great Success)]

The smoke dissipated.

Qin An's muscles throughout his body made slight cracking sounds, starting from his left hand and popping like firecrackers, crackle, crackle.

Left hand, right hand, left leg, right leg, torso...

Only after all the muscles in his torso were nourished did the Qi begin to slow down gradually.

The so-called Body Infusion was to first nourish Qi with Blood Essence, and then use Qi to nourish the muscles of the limbs, head, and torso.

Once this was achieved, ordinary blades and spears would find it difficult to injure him, and his entire body would be like iron.

With the Ice-Fire Dual Cultivation Method reaching Great Success, Qin An's realm had reached the Great Success stage of the Body Infusion Realm.

The Blood Essence within his body was rapidly consumed, and the Blood Crystals he had accumulated during his battle in the willow forest disappeared completely.

A moment later, Qin An opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Blood Crystals are truly an extremely important resource. I hope I can obtain more Blood Crystals through the Evil Extermination Division."

To climb higher, Blood Crystals are essential.

Qin An's Blood Crystals were completely depleted, but in return, his strength had grown.

Qin An drew his Black Blade and, without channeling Qi, casually slashed it across his left arm.

"Clang!"

A sound like metal striking metal echoed, leaving only a faint white mark on his arm.

If he were still at his previous realm, he would have been bleeding profusely by now.

"Only the head hasn't been nurtured yet, but advancing my talent requires 600 points, which is a bit troublesome."

Qin An sheathed his Black Blade at his waist, contemplating.

There were two paths before him.

The first was to practice the Scholar profession.

Once the profession reached level five, his talent would reach the perfection of the Body Infusion Realm, allowing him to break through to perfection as well.

The second was to acquire more Cultivation Methods.

By deducing Cultivation Methods, he could consume a large amount of Blood Essence and perhaps reach the next step.

"I'll rest today."

After a moment of thought, Qin An lay down on the bed fully clothed.

Joining the Evil Extermination Division simply required him to risk his life.

After risking his life, he would never have to worry about Cultivation Methods or Blood Crystals.

Moreover, during this time, he could also find time to practice his profession proficiency.

This was a win-win situation; no matter which path he reached first, it would benefit Qin An.

"Once my strength improves, perhaps I can consider eliminating the menace of the Monkey Demon."

Qin An lay on the bed, but his hand never left his Black Blade.

The Monkey Demon's influence in Ling Prefecture was, after all, like a thorn in his throat.

He would find time to eradicate this threat.

With that thought, Qin An slowly closed his eyes.

The next day.

Qin An woke up early, finished his morning routine, and was about to head out.

He planned to go to the secret library to read.

Besides the gains from the Scholar profession yesterday, he had also gained considerable insight into the situation in Ling Prefecture.

Since there was nothing else to do, he might as well read more.

However, before he could even leave the house, Gao Quan rushed to his door.

Seeing this, Qin An stopped, his hand resting on his Black Blade.

Gao Quan approached, threw down a sentence without preamble, and turned to leave, "Let's go, we're going on a mission, it's urgent!"

Qin An frowned, thought for a moment, and then followed Gao Quan out of the room.

Judging by Gao Quan's demeanor, this didn't seem like a simple mission.

Missions from the Evil Extermination Division were, naturally, related to demonic creatures.

Qin An was currently in need of Blood Crystals and Cultivation Methods, so encountering a mission didn't seem troublesome.
