The Progress Bar Suddenly Got a Shot of Chicken Blood

"Is it finally possible to break through?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.

At this moment, Gu Chen seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Master, where did they go?"

"Them."

Coming to his senses, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"They've all been put away."

Gu Chen paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, his expression understanding, and nodded:

"I am very grateful for your help, Master."

As he spoke, he bowed to Lu Changzhi.

Even though Master Mingming said he wouldn't come, he still took action himself.

My master has truly been kind to me.

Lu Changzhi smiled and waved his hand:

"We are master and disciple, there's no need for thanks."

"Work hard and cultivate yourself diligently."

Gu Chen nodded in deep agreement and agreed, secretly making up his mind.

"My master has been so good to me, I must not let him down."

"One day, I will surpass my master in strength and protect him from all harm!"

Lu Changzhi was unaware of Gu Chen's thoughts.

At this moment, his mind was focused on improving his cultivation level.

"There's an elder from Dharma Form Peak outside. Why don't you go out and have a chat with him?"

They found an excuse to send Gu Chen away.

Then, Lu Changzhi sat down cross-legged.

The tower does not contain any spiritual power.

After demarcating an area, Lu Changzhi took out a storage ring.

Suddenly, a large number of Origin Spirit Stone appeared around him.

Lu Changzhi sat down cross-legged and focused his mind on the system.

"Raise your cultivation level."

The sound faded.

In an instant, Lu Changzhi felt the spiritual energy around him begin to fluctuate.

At the same time, a unique fluctuation arose within his dantian, spreading throughout his entire body.

At that moment, a warm feeling filled my entire body.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Lu Changzhi's eyes flickered.

He noticed something unusual.

This breakthrough was actually...

A progress bar appeared?!

This is the first time.

At that moment, a system voice sounded in my ear:

"Breakthrough in progress, current progress: 1%..."

Lu Changzhi noticed that the progress bar in the hollow area had expanded slightly at the beginning.

One breath...

Two breaths...

Sanxi...

Lu Changzhi frowned slightly.

"Breaking through to the Dao Comprehension Realm? Is it really this slow?"

At this rate, the progress bar probably won't finish running anytime soon.

"That's true, considering we've come this far, it's normal for it to be a bit difficult."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Changzhi understood.

Whether an ordinary cultivator can reach this stage depends on their talent.

And even with talent, it can take anywhere from several hundred years.

Even for geniuses, it would take decades of dedicated effort to even begin to comprehend the Dao before they could reach this level.

And for him, it's been less than a year now.

Lu Changzhi was thinking about it.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared.

Brush.

Under Lu Changzhi's incredulous gaze, the progress bar seemed to be on steroids.

Go all out and max it out.

"Congratulations, host, breakthrough complete."

Swish, swish, swish.

In an instant, a huge suction vortex formed above Lu Changzhi.

Bang bang bang!

All the surrounding Origin Spirit Stone shattered, transforming into pure Origin Spiritual Power that converged wildly.

At the same time, countless feelings, as if they had personally come to their understanding, arose in Lu Changzhi's heart.

At this moment, the world presented itself to Lu Changzhi in a way he had never experienced before.

With a little perception, one will discover that the previously veiled meaning of heaven and earth is now crystal clear.

"This progress bar..."

Lu Changzhi calmed himself down.

The next moment, he raised his hand.

With a thought, without needing to use spiritual power, flames appeared in Lu Changzhi's hand.

"Burn!"

As the sound faded, flames surged forth from him, filling every part of his body.

With a flick of his wrist, the flames vanished instantly.

A thought arises, a thought vanishes.

Compared to before, it's not just about increased speed; there's also significant improvement in intensity and energy consumption.

"Not bad."

Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction and did not continue to explore the changes brought about by the breakthrough.

This is ultimately just a small step on the path of spiritual practice.

In contrast, it's a different matter.

"System."

Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"Upgrade the store level."

As the voice faded, the system voice sounded:

"Upgrading to a Tier 3 shop requires 8000 experience points. Please confirm whether you wish to upgrade."

"Upgrade."

As the experience points increased, the [Shop Level] section changed to "Level 3".

Immediately afterwards, a series of system notifications sounded:

"The current store level is three; enjoy a 20% discount on store items."

"The level cap for items in the shop has been increased. The current cap is: Saint Rank High Grade."

New special items added to the shop: [Talent Imprint] and [System Enhancement]

"A new special showcase has been added to the in-game store: [Random Task Draw]."

Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing until the system notification finished ringing.

He didn't rush to check the new additions, but instead spoke up:

"System, have you forgotten something?"

It was agreed that I would receive a random set of Saint King items.

They haven't even mentioned it yet?

Shortly after the voice faded, the system voice sounded:

"Reporting to Master, the shop upgrade rewards are being prepared. Please wait patiently."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi shook his head.

"System, your efficiency is a bit lacking."

The system did not respond further.

Unsurprisingly, he was faking his death.

Lu Changzhi didn't say anything more, but instead opened the system and began to check the new features added this time.

[Talent Imprint]: After use, imprints the talent of a target within the field of vision. The imprinted talent can then be used on other targets, with the effect being the same as the unenhanced original state. Cannot be used on special talents. Each talent and each imprinted talent can only be used once. Can be purchased once every seven days. Price: 500 experience points.

"Could this be described as a replication of destiny?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up slightly.

This seems like a good thing.

Talented people are hard to find.

Even if it is found, only that person will have it.

Once rubbings are made, more than one person can have them.

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

However, Lu Changzhi soon noticed the usage restrictions in the introduction.

"System, what does 'special talent' mean?"

"Reporting to Master," the system replied.

"Special talents are those that are exclusive in terms of time, characteristics, location, or effectiveness; these talents..."

Lu Changzhi listened with a thoughtful expression and then spoke:

Keep it simple.

The system voice paused for a moment, then said:

"Master, when you want to imprint your talent, just ask me if it's possible."

"Good."

Lu Changzhi immediately agreed, then, remembering something, asked:

"Another limitation means that a talent can only be imprinted on a person once, and can only be used on someone else once?"

"Yes, Master," the system replied.

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment:

"Then, if I've made rubbings of people who have made rubbings before, can I also do that?"

System: "Buzz buzz buzz--"

Suddenly the sound stopped, and there was no follow-up.

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi's gaze sharpened, and he tentatively asked:

"System?"

No response.

Call out again.

You could hear a pin drop.

"Hiss--"

Lu Changzhi took a light breath.

In a single sentence, the system was completely ruined?

"Is this working, system?"
