Twelve Platinum Rank cultivation techniques—something Lin An wouldn't have dared to even dream of in his previous life, but now they were right in front of him.
"To perfect a Platinum Rank cultivation technique, 7650 attribute points are required; 12 techniques would require 91800 attribute points."
Lin An glanced at the remaining 96,000 attribute points; that was more than enough.
"We really don't have enough attribute points."
Lin An sighed, then first learned all the Platinum Rank techniques and reached the beginner level, and then began to frantically invest his attribute points.
As attribute points were continuously invested, each Platinum Rank cultivation technique reached its peak.
[Your Soaring Sky-Piercing Palm ( Platinum Rank ) technique has reached the Perfect level.]
[Your cultivation of the Spiritglow Sword Finger ( Platinum Rank ) has reached the Perfect level.]
[Your Sky- Sky-Splitting Fist ( Platinum Rank ) training has reached the Perfect level.]
[...]
Soon, all twelve Platinum Rank cultivation techniques reached perfection, and 4848 attribute points remained.
"I hope the Cultivation Technique Furnace will give me a surprise. I wonder what level of cultivation technique I can ultimately fuse together with ten Platinum Rank cultivation techniques and over 90,000 attribute points."
Thinking it over, Lin An took out the Cultivation Technique Furnace, and as he used it, an interface popped up.
[Player is using Cultivation Technique Furnace. Please select the cultivation technique to forge.]
The interface displayed the 12 Platinum Rank martial arts techniques that Lin An had just learned.
"No Lin Clan Cultivation Technique or the One Saber Slash?"
Lin An looked surprised.
It wasn't surprising that he wasn't One Saber Slash, after all, this was a special technique with the potential for improvement.
But it's a bit strange that there's no Lin Clan Cultivation Technique, since the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique is only at the Platinum Rank.
"Or is it that cultivation techniques don't participate in the fusion? Or is it that this Lin Clan Cultivation Technique isn't actually Platinum Rank, but rather has further developments?"
Many thoughts flashed through Lin An's mind, but unfortunately, his adoptive father didn't know much about this technique either.
Lin An then stopped thinking about it and began to select the cultivation techniques he wanted to refine.
Among the twelve Platinum Rank cultivation techniques, Lin An deliberately left behind one movement technique called " Heavenly Roc Soaring " and a defensive technique called " Spiritglow Armor ".
In this way, no matter what type of Cultivation Technique Furnace, one's margin for error will be much higher.
[Player's selection successful!]
After Lin An confirmed this, flames suddenly rose inside the Cultivation Technique Furnace, and at the same time, ten streams of light flew out from between Lin An's eyebrows and poured into the furnace.
Lin An instantly sensed that the ten Platinum Rank cultivation techniques had vanished from his memory, and even disappeared from his interface.
Lin An didn't have to wait long; in just about a minute, the Cultivation Technique Furnace started to move.
[Smelting successful! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the upgradeable cultivation technique " Spirit Rune Art ".]
[Congratulations to the player for successfully learning the " Spirit Rune Art " and automatically leveling up to Perfect level.]
The Cultivation Technique Furnace disappeared, transforming into a ray of spiritual light that Lin An An's brow, and a large amount of information appeared in Lin An's mind.
[ Spirit Rune Art ]: An evolving cultivation technique. After cultivation, one can condense their own power into Spirit Mark. These Spirit Mark can form shields to block attacks, or they can be Spirit Mark to unleash devastating attacks. The maximum Legendary Rank, and its quality can be further improved.
Lin An's eyes lit up.
According to the information he obtained, the beginner level of the Spirit Rune Art can condense 3 Spirit Mark, the proficient level can condense 9 Spirit Mark, the minor level can condense 27 spirit runes, and the major level can condense 81 spirit runes.
A perfect level can condense 243 Spirit Mark.
Moreover, this Spirit Rune Art is actually accompanied by two kinds of formations.
One type is Spirit Rune Body-Protection Formation, which requires at least three Spirit Mark to activate and can form a spiritual energy shield around the body.
The second type is the Spirit Rune Burst Formation, which also requires at least three Spirit Mark to activate.
It can link three or more Spirit Mark in an instant, extract the hidden spiritual power within them, and unleash a powerful attack.
"Not only can it defend, it can also attack; this technique is a bit abnormal."
Lin An thought to himself.
Moreover, the upper limit of this technique is only Legendary Rank, and it can be further improved afterward.
He didn't know what the Legendary Rank was yet, but it was definitely above Platinum.
"That's not all. This technique allows me to condense my own power into Spirit Mark. Can the Earth Vein Power also be used to condense Spirit Mark?"
"Is it possible to convert my attribute-less spiritual power into attribute-based spiritual power through the Condemnation, and then condense Spirit Mark?"
Thinking of this, Lin An immediately became impatient.
He immediately stood up and activated his Divine Ability Earth Vein Power, drawing out a large amount of Earth Vein Power.
At the same time, the Spirit Rune Art was activated, and the user began to attempt to mobilize the Earth Vein Power to condense into Spirit Mark.
Soon, an orange-colored Spirit Mark appeared in front of Lin An.
This delighted Lin An; he hadn't expected it to actually work.
However, Lin An stopped very quickly.
This is because the Spirit Mark in front of them has reached its maximum capacity.
"The condensation speed is not slow; it takes about fifteen minutes to condense a Spirit Mark."
"Let's try again to Condemnation can be condensed."
Lin An took out the Condemnation, poured spiritual power into it, and continued to circulate the Spirit Rune Art.
Soon, Lin An smiled as a fiery red Spirit Mark slowly took shape.
"I didn't expect it to actually succeed. Now I can condense Spirit Mark of different attributes."
"I wonder how powerful it would be to attack using Spirit Mark of different attributes, and whether it would hurt myself."
Many thoughts flashed through Lin An's mind, but he could only test them out later.
Although the speed of condensing Spirit Mark is not slow, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
It's a pity the siege of the Sin Beast has just ended; otherwise, he could have hunted the Sin Beast while continuously refining his spirit runes using the effects of his Divine Ability Spirit Devouring Divine Spirit Mark.
Fortunately, he didn't have anything else to do after that, so he could slowly refine it.
Evening arrived quickly, and Lin Xiao, having finished dealing with the aftermath of the Sin Beast siege, returned to the City Lord's Residence.
Lin An did not continue cultivating. After successfully condensing the eighth Spirit Mark, he went to the living room.
"You've reached the Gold Realm?"
"Not bad, not bad at all, your talent is truly monstrous."
"It took me more than ten years to reach the Gold Realm."
Noticing Lin An's cultivation level, Lin Xiao's face was filled with smiles.
He had heard before that there were many prodigies and geniuses in the Upper City, and he was somewhat envious at the time.
Now, things have gotten even worse; his own son has become a monster.
Moreover, they are even more monstrous than those so-called prodigies in the Upper City.
Lin An smiled and responded with a few words before getting down to business, "Father, there's a problem with the Sin Beast' attack on the city this time."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Lin Xiao asked, raising an eyebrow.
" Gold Realm Sin Beast are quite intelligent. They should have known long ago that my father, a Gold Ninth Grade expert, was stationed in Shenglin City. Even if they were going to launch an attack, they shouldn't have brought only two first or second-rank Gold-level Sin Beast Sin Beast, let alone so few."
Lin An said, "This time, the Sin Beast' attack on the city was a bit of a joke, or perhaps they have some other purpose."
Lin An didn't directly say it was a test of Lin Xiao, but rather guided the conversation.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
"You're right, this attack by the Sin Beast was a test of your father," Lin Xiao said.
"Testing the waters?"
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the guy in Black Mountain is probably preparing to break through to the Platinum Realm."
"Under normal circumstances, I would report this to the Upper City and ask them to send a strong person to resolve this matter."
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "But things are different now. In at most a month, I will be able to break through to the Platinum, and then I will personally intervene."
Lin An nodded. He had originally planned to wait until the other party broke through to the Platinum Realm before deciding how to persuade him to go to Black Mountain to resolve the hidden dangers.
Now he doesn't need to make excuses anymore.
As for the other party's claim of reporting to the Upper City, he guessed that the other party had reported it in his previous life, but the Upper City did not send any powerful figures.
This ultimately led to the fall of Shenglin City.
"Fortunately, this situation won't happen in this life. Even if my cheap old man can't solve it, I'll be able to after I break through to Platinum level," Lin An thought to himself.
