" Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation?"
"Hmm? No, talent?"
Lin An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be the talent he was thinking of?
Just as I was about to check, the game system's voice sounded again.
[Player has acquired a talent; congratulations on becoming Awakened One.]
[The player who becomes the first Awakened One in the entire server will receive an additional reward: 10x Cultivation Card (1 month).]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Lin An for becoming the first Awakened One in the entire server.] x3
The series of prompts startled Lin An, but then his eyes lit up with surprise.
" Awakened One... He's actually become Awakened One."
Suddenly, so suddenly.
Lin An never expected that he would become Awakened One so easily.
However, it's easier said than done; in reality, almost no player will be able to obtain several auxiliary cultivation crystals, and therefore, they will be unable to fuse them.
At least in Lin An's previous life, he had never heard of anyone becoming Awakened One after fusing with a crystal.
After calming his joy, Lin An checked the effects of the Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation.
[ Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation ]: Awakened One Talent. All minor cultivation items you create have their effects increased by 40%, their creation time reduced by 40%, and their creation success rate increased by 40%. You can continue to fuse new Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation further enhance their effects.
" The Awakened One's talent effects are incredibly powerful."
Lin An was secretly surprised. He knew that Awakened One were not simple, but he did not expect them to be this abnormal.
Moreover, this talent can actually be improved.
"I fused four auxiliary cultivation crystals, and the effect reached 40%. This means that one auxiliary cultivation crystal can increase the effect by 10%, and I can continue to fuse more."
"If I create six more side professions, wouldn't I be able to achieve 100% in all of them?"
Lin An couldn't help but laugh.
There are quite a few secondary professions. At least in the Ten Thousand Books Tower, in addition to the four secondary professions he has already acquired, there are two more: Spirit Plant Master and Spirit Chef.
The former can cultivate medicinal herbs; alchemists usually also work as spiritual plant masters.
The latter can cook spiritual food, which can improve cultivation and strengthen the body after consumption. The chefs of Heavenly Fragrance Residence are spiritual chefs.
Although Lin An had seen these two side professions when he was at Ten Thousand Books Tower, he felt that they wouldn't be of much help to him, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
But things are different now. Even if you don't need them yourself, you can still obtain the Heart of Spirit Planting and the Heart of Spirit Cooking to enhance the effect of the Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation.
"No rush, I'm the only player on the entire server anyway, I can buy it tomorrow."
"Even if I buy it, I won't be able to learn it for the time being; I don't have enough attribute points."
Lin An glanced at his attribute points; he had just spent 400 points, and now he only had 155 attribute points left.
At most, I can study one more minor subject.
Thinking about it, Lin An looked at his four minor professions again.
[Formation Master]: Black Iron Tier 0/10,000 Proficiency
[Alchemist]: Black Iron Tier 0/10,000 Proficiency
[Refiner]: Black Iron Tier 0/10,000 Proficiency
[Talisman Master]: Black Iron Tier 0/10,000 Proficiency
They're all at the Black Iron Tier; upgrading them to Bronze Tier is relatively simple, requiring only 10 attribute points.
Lin An immediately spent 40 attribute points to upgrade all four of his secondary professions to the Bronze Tier.
[Formation Master]: Bronze Tier 0/100,000 Proficiency
"Upgrading to Silver Tier requires 100 attribute points. Although it's not a lot, there's no rush to upgrade for now."
"Let's learn the formations and talismans we bought first."
[You have spent 1 attribute point to successfully learn the Aura Concealment Formation ( Black Iron Tier ).]
[You have spent 1 attribute point to successfully learn the Spirit Gathering Formation ( Black Iron Tier ).]
[You have spent 1 attribute point to successfully learn Illusory Spirit Formation ( Black Iron Tier ).]
[You have spent 1 attribute point to successfully learn Teleportation Formation ( Black Iron Tier ).]
[ Spirit Gathering Formation ]: Black Iron Tier, Beginner 0/1000 Proficiency
Lin An had only just learned these four formations and was only at the beginner level, but he wasn't in a hurry to improve.
I spent another 2 attribute points to learn the two Black Iron Tier runes: the amulet and the explosive rune.
There are 149 attribute points remaining.
"Reserve 100 attribute points to learn a new secondary profession; the remaining 49 attribute points can be used."
Thinking about it, Lin An looked at the Spirit Gathering Formation.
[You have consumed 1 attribute point to upgrade your Spirit Gathering Formation proficiency to Mastery.]
[You have consumed 5 attribute points, increasing your Spirit Gathering Formation proficiency to Minor Mastery.]
[You have consumed 10 attribute points to upgrade your Spirit Gathering Formation proficiency to Mastery.]
[You have consumed 30 attribute points to upgrade your Spirit Gathering Formation proficiency to max level.]
From initial learning to mastery, the Black Iron Tier Spirit Gathering Formation only required 47 attribute points.
With two attribute points remaining, Lin An allocated them to the Aura Concealment Formation and the Teleportation Formation Array, raising both to Mastery.
[ Spirit Gathering Formation ]: Black Iron Tier (0/100,000 proficiency), Perfect.
"As expected, its grade can be further improved; 100 attribute points are enough to upgrade it to Bronze Tier."
Although Lin An still had 100 attribute points left, he didn't use them.
Lin An then opened the panel to take a look.
[Player]: Lin An
[Title]: First Blood
[Realm]: Gold Ninth Grade
[Secondary Professions]: Array Master ( Bronze Tier ), Alchemist ( Bronze Tier ), Weapon Refiner ( Bronze Tier ), Talisman Master ( Bronze Tier )
[Cultivation Techniques]: Spirit Rune Art (Perfected), Lin Clan Cultivation Technique (Perfected), One Saber Slash (Perfected)... (Click to view all)
[Minor Skills]: Spirit Gathering Formation (Black Iron Perfection), Aura Concealment Formation (Black Iron Proficiency), Teleportation Formation (Black Iron Proficiency), Illusory Spirit Formation (Black Iron Beginner), Explosion Talisman (Beginner), Protective Talisman (Beginner)
[ Divine Ability ]: Dharma Heavenly Transformation, Resentful Tiger's Eye, Spirit Devouring, Earth Vein Power
[Talent]: Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation
[Attribute Points]: 100
Looking at his stats, Lin An nodded in satisfaction. This was a great success. Not only did he gain four more secondary professions, but most importantly, he became Awakened One and gained a new talent.
"In addition to that, there are leaderboards."
Lin An glanced at the rankings again.
[ Server-wide Formation Master Rankings ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Bronze Tier (Can be hidden)
[ Server-wide Alchemist Rankings ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Bronze Tier (Can be hidden)
[ Server-wide Talisman Master Rankings ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Bronze Tier (Can be hidden)
[ Server-wide Artifact Refiner Rankings ]
[First Place]: Lin An, Bronze Tier (Can be hidden)
(Note: The leaderboard is updated monthly, and the top 100 players will receive additional rewards.)
Similar to the Server-wide Realm Rankings, rewards are distributed monthly.
"I currently hold the top spot on five leaderboards, and even my monthly attribute points total 5800."
"If I upgrade my secondary profession to Gold Tier, I can get 15,000 attribute points every month."
Lin An smiled. He was the only one in the entire server who could claim these rewards; nobody else was going to compete with him.
Even if the player arrives nine months later, he still won't be able to shake his number one ranking.
"Tomorrow I'll first buy the basic manuals for spirit plant cultivators and spirit chefs, and then inquire about other places in Guangwu City where I can learn secondary professions."
"As for now, we can study the formation first."
Lin An's gaze fell upon the Spirit Gathering Formation; he intended to try and set up a spirit -Spirit Gathering Formation within his body using Spirit Mark.
Although it was only Black Iron Tier Spirit Gathering Formation, even if it had reached the Perfection level, it was still much more difficult for him to set up Spirit Gathering Formation within his body using Spirit Mark than he had imagined.
Even with the aid of the Heart of Auxiliary Cultivation, he still couldn't succeed after spending more than two hours.
However, Lin An was still somewhat pleased because he discovered that his idea was feasible.
If there were a progress bar, he estimated it would be around 30%.
"It can be set up with some time, and it will only be easier if my array master level increases again."
Thinking of this, Lin An couldn't help but sigh.
Previously in the Spirit Realm of Shenglin City, I hadn't killed enough enemies, and my attribute points were simply not enough.
