Upgrading the Violet Cloud Wings and Fourth-Rank Auxiliary Professions!

Xiao Yang looked at the details of the Violet Cloud Wings before him, a trace of hesitation flashing through his eyes.

[Violet Cloud Wings: Black Tier High-Grade Battle Technique. It allowed a cultivator to fly on their own before reaching the Dou Wang realm. Even when used by a Dou Wang, it could increase flight speed.

Proficiency: Perfect (max) (Next Level: None)

Base Boost: 300%

Proficiency Boost: 200% (Next Level: None)

Total Boost: 600%

Shop Points Required for Upgrade: 1,500,000]

Xiao Yang thought for a moment, then checked the prices of other Earth-Tier flying battle techniques in the shop.

In the end, he decided to upgrade the Violet Cloud Wings.

One reason Xiao Yang's current combat strength was so formidable was that the Violet Cloud Wings played no small part in it.

After all, having a flying battle technique before reaching the Dou Wang realm gave an enormous advantage!

If he could raise the Violet Cloud Wings to a Low Earth-Tier Battle Skill, they would still be highly effective even after he reached the Dou Wang realm.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yang did not hesitate any longer and directly spent 1.5 million points to upgrade the Violet Cloud Wings.

"Does the player wish to spend 1.5 million Shop Points to upgrade the Violet Cloud Wings to a Low Earth-Tier Battle Skill?"

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly chose yes.

The next moment, the Violet Cloud Wings panel before Xiao Yang began to change.

[Violet Cloud Wings: Low Earth-Tier Battle Skill. It allowed a cultivator to fly on their own before reaching the Dou Wang realm. Even when used by a Dou Zong, it could increase flight speed.

Proficiency: Mastery (1+/10,000,000) (Next Level: Perfect)

Base Boost: 480%

Proficiency Boost: 150% (Next Level: 200%)

Total Boost: 720%

Shop Points Required for Upgrade: 6,000,000]

Immediately afterward, an enormous amount of information surged into Xiao Yang's mind.

Soon, Xiao Yang slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with delight.

Upgrading a battle technique directly was not only cheaper than buying a battle technique of the same rank, but it also allowed him to inherit part of its previous proficiency.

Xiao Yang had already maxed out the proficiency of the Violet Cloud Wings.

Even after upgrading them to Low-Grade Earth Tier, they still retained Mastery-level proficiency.

One had to know that raising a Low-Grade Earth Tier battle technique to Mastery required a million experience points!

By upgrading the battle technique directly, Xiao Yang had saved a million experience points as well!

This was simply an absolute steal!

Moreover, the points required for future upgrades would also be reduced.

Originally, upgrading the Low-Grade Earth Tier Violet Cloud Wings to Mid Earth Tier would have required 7.5 million points.

But now, he could offset 1.5 million points, needing only 6 million points for another upgrade.

However, although Xiao Yang still had over 6 million points after upgrading the Violet Cloud Wings, he had no intention of upgrading them again.

Xiao Yang looked toward the auxiliary profession section.

Becoming a Third-Rank Alchemist and a Third-Rank Artifact Refiner required only 100,000 experience points each.

That was nothing to the current Xiao Yang.

Not to mention that after upgrading, he could also gain additional points. This was simply an absolute steal!

To Xiao Yang, the auxiliary profession side quests were practically point refund missions.

He did not hesitate and directly upgraded both auxiliary professions to the third rank.

The next moment, the system notification sounded in his mind once more.

"Congratulations, player, on completing the side quest—Third-Rank Alchemist!"

"Player rewards: 5 random Third-Grade Elixir formulas, 10 sets of random Third-Grade Elixir ingredients, Universal Experience +300,000, Shop Points +3,000,000!"

"Congratulations, player, on completing the side quest—Third-Rank Artifact Refiner!"

"Player rewards: 5 random Third-Rank Spirit Artifact blueprints, 10 sets of random Third-Rank Spirit Artifact materials, Universal Experience +300,000, Shop Points +3,000,000!"

However, Xiao Yang had no time to claim the quest rewards at the moment.

A vast amount of insight into alchemy and artifact refinement was flooding into Xiao Yang's mind.

Even with his current soul strength, it still took him more than ten hours to fully digest it all.

Soon, Xiao Yang slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with pleasant surprise.

The gains this time were indeed enormous.

He could now completely refine some simple Third-Grade Elixirs and Third-Rank Spirit Artifacts.

As for second-grade elixirs and spirit artifacts, as long as he had the formulas and blueprints, he had over a ninety percent chance of success!

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and directly claimed the rewards from the two side quests.

The Universal Experience and points that had decreased not long ago instantly surged!

His Universal Experience exceeded 3 million once more, while his points surpassed 10 million for the first time!

At the same time, two new auxiliary profession side quests appeared before Xiao Yang.

[Side Quest—Fourth-Rank Alchemist: Become a Fourth-Rank Alchemist.

Reward: 3 random Fourth-Grade Elixir formulas, 5 sets of random Fourth-Grade Elixir ingredients, Universal Experience +1,000,000, Shop Points +10,000,000.]

[Side Quest—Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner: Become a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner.

Reward: 3 random Fourth-Rank Spirit Artifact blueprints, 3 sets of random Fourth-Rank Spirit Artifact materials, Universal Experience +1,000,000, Shop Points +10,000,000.]

Looking at the million-experience bars behind Third-Rank Alchemist and Third-Rank Artifact Refiner in the auxiliary profession section, Xiao Yang once again added points without the slightest hesitation.

After all, once he became a Fourth-Rank Alchemist and Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner, he would get a million experience points refunded, along with other rewards. This was simply an absolute steal!

The next moment, accompanied by two system notifications for quest completion and rewards, countless insights once again poured into Xiao Yang's mind.

Xiao Yi Xian woke up early in the morning and found that Xiao Yang had not come out, so she merely assumed that he was cultivating.

However, as the day went on, Xiao Yi Xian realized that Xiao Yang had still not emerged.

When she entered his wooden cabin, she found Xiao Yang sitting cross-legged on the bed without moving in the slightest.

He did not seem to be cultivating either, since the surrounding heaven and earth energy was barely moving.

However, Xiao Yi Xian found nothing unusual about Xiao Yang's body, so she did not disturb him.

Soon, another day passed, and Xiao Yi Xian found that Xiao Yang still had not changed at all.

If Xiao Yang had not still been breathing and retained a healthy complexion, Xiao Yi Xian would have thought he was dead!

This time, even though Xiao Yang still appeared to be fine, Xiao Yi Xian could not help but worry.

So she moved into Xiao Yang's wooden cabin first and cultivated while sitting beside his bed.

Over the next two days, she spent almost all her time in the cabin.

Xiao Yi Xian did not even go out to cook, instead surviving on dry rations.

Watching Xiao Yang remain completely motionless for more than three days, the worry in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

However, having once been a physician, she understood some medical knowledge and could tell that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Yang's body.

If not for that, Xiao Yi Xian might already have begun administering first aid to him.

Just then, Xiao Yang's eyelashes trembled.

Xiao Yang slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yi Xian beside him.

Over these three days, Xiao Yang had been aware of everything outside, so he knew that Xiao Yi Xian had remained by his side the entire time.
