A Sudden Windfall! A New Talent Function Unlocked!

The Molten Flame Demon's massive arms began chiseling at the emerald crystals embedded in the cave wall.

Perhaps its body temperature was simply too high.

Lin Yi noticed that some of the emerald crystals close to its body were actually beginning to vaporize!

Lin Yi felt a pang of heartache.

He hurriedly told it to stop.

The Molten Flame Demon's two flame-burning pupils revealed an incredibly human expression.

Like a child who had made a mistake.

Yet it looked so burly and terrifying that the contrast was irresistibly adorable.

Lin Yi could only sigh helplessly.

He knew the Molten Flame Demon had not done it on purpose.

Afterward, he directed the Fire Demon to excavate from the rock layers surrounding the crystals on the cave wall, and there were no further problems.

Before long, the entire large cluster of emerald crystals, along with some surrounding rock, had been mined out.

Lin Yi cleared all the water and food from his Inventory Space, then stored the crystals inside it.

Afterward, Lin Yi sent the Molten Flame Demon back to the Elemental Plane and crushed a Return Scroll.

After a dizzying whirl.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself back in Jiangcheng's Teleportation Hall.

After leaving the teleportation hall, Lin Yi headed straight home.

He planned to visit the Trading House tomorrow to deal with the Spiritual Items in his backpack and the things dropped by the Tiger King.

After returning home, Lin Yi had a simple meal with his parents.

After dinner, he returned to his room.

Lin Yi opened his status panel.

The Skill Points he had nearly squandered away that morning had somehow increased by another forty or fifty thousand.

This feeling of constantly having people send him resources was true, steady happiness!

Today, he had acquired a new Wind Element Skill.

Should he level up this skill line and see what it could do?

Reason told him that having another skill line would definitely broaden his options and provide a greater increase in actual combat strength.

Especially after witnessing the terrifying destructive power of the seventh-tier spell, Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath.

Lin Yi had already fallen in love with that feeling of destroying everything with a mere wave of his hand.

A seventh-tier Fire Element Spell was already this powerful.

Then what would a seventh-tier Wind Element Spell look like?

Lin Yi secretly made up his mind. Getting it to the seventh tier would only cost a little over a hundred thousand Skill Points anyway.

One more day of grinding would be enough!

The next day.

Lin Yi got up early as usual.

After one night, his Skill Point balance was approaching one hundred thousand.

By noon, he would probably be able to pour a huge amount of points into his new Wind Element Skill and rapidly raise its tier.

Before that.

Lin Yi planned to visit Life Profession Street first and sell the large cluster of emerald crystal ore he had mined yesterday, just to see how much it was worth.

Then he would visit the Trading House and see whether he could pick up a few Mage System Skill Books.

Finally, he would make a trip to the Job Change Sanctuary.

And accept his Second Turn quest.

After his Second Turn, he should unlock even more new skills.

Having planned everything out, Lin Yi left home and soon arrived at Jiangcheng's Life Profession Street.

Lin Yi found the best Appraiser on the street.

He intended to first identify what exactly the emerald crystals he had obtained from that cave were and roughly determine their value, so he would not be swindled by unscrupulous merchants when selling them.

"Young man, do you have something you want identified?"

An elderly man with white hair and beard, glasses, and a refined appearance smiled at Lin Yi.

This was the most respected Appraiser on all of Jiangcheng's Life Profession Street.

Lin Yi nodded and took a small piece of emerald crystal from his Inventory Space.

The instant the crystal appeared, Lin Yi felt a gentle cool breeze begin to blow through the hall of the appraisal shop.

The old man's smile froze for a moment.

Then his expression turned serious.

"Young man, what you're holding is something extraordinary!"

"May I take a look?"

Lin Yi nodded and handed the crystal to the old man.

The old man adjusted his glasses and began examining it carefully. At the same time, the light of Identification Skill flashed repeatedly.

Very soon, the old man looked at Lin Yi in amazement. "Incredible. Such pure Wind Spirit Rock Marrow is truly rare!"

Lin Yi's heart stirred.

So this thing was called Wind Spirit Rock Marrow.

"For this type of mineral-vein Spiritual Item rich in elements, one must consider not only its purity but also the quantity being sold at once."

"Young man, the piece you showed me should only be a small sample."

"You should have the entire crystal ore deposit. If the quantity is large and the purity is all at the same level as this sample..."

Before the old man could finish.

Lin Yi took out an entire chunk of emerald crystal ore weighing twenty or thirty pounds.

The old man, who had just been estimating its price for Lin Yi, instantly sucked in a breath and stared dumbfounded!

He nearly fainted from the shock.

After a long while, the old man recovered enough to speak. "Young man, such a large piece of Wind Spirit Rock Marrow can no longer be valued by market price. It is already collector-grade."

"You should ask at a shop that specializes in purchasing Spiritual Items."

"Don't sell it to the Trading House. They can only purchase it by weight at market price, and you would lose out on a lot of money."

Lin Yi thanked the old man.

After paying the appraisal fee, he put away the Wind Spirit Rock Marrow and continued strolling along Life Profession Street.

More than half an hour later.

Lin Yi walked out of a shop called Treasure Pavilion.

It was a shop specializing in purchasing Natural Treasures and Spiritual Items, similar to the antique shops he knew from his previous life.

At that moment, he had an extra VIP Black Card from this nationwide Treasure Pavilion chain in his pocket.

The card also held an additional 120,000 Great Xia Coins.

After selling the collector-grade Wind Spirit Rock Marrow, the enthusiastic owner had even given Lin Yi an extra 10,000 Great Xia Coins.

According to the owner, that ten thousand was simply to make a friend.

He told Lin Yi that if he acquired any more good things like this in the future, he had to come find him.

He would absolutely purchase them at a price far above market value.

Even after walking out of the shop.

Lin Yi was still somewhat dazed.

How had he suddenly become rich?

As one of the strongest nations on Blue Star.

Great Xia's currency had an astonishingly high value and circulation rate.

One hundred and twenty thousand Great Xia Coins was indeed no small sum.

Lin Yi's father, Lin Guodong, might have to work hard in the mines for three or four years to earn that much.
