CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 227: THE GREAT CHARACTER OUTBURST AFTER RELEASING YANG QI_2

"[Gray Fortune Fragment (1/1) has been collected, no synthesis required, you can obtain one of the following fortunes:]"

"[Option One: Acquire the talent: Talented Talisman Maker.]"

"[Option Two: Obtain 1 Fortune Point.]"

"[Option Three: Acquire the fortune of Lianxin.]"

Talented Talisman Maker...

Upon seeing this, Wen Zhixing paused slightly.

It had been a long time since he had gotten anything good from a Gray Fortune.

Unexpectedly, he had obtained something usable again.

"Choose Option One, Talented Talisman Maker."

"[You’ve acquired the talent: Talented Talisman Maker!]"

"[Talented Talisman Maker:] Grey Quality, can slightly enhance your insight into the path of talismans, while also slightly improving the strength of your divine soul, making talisman cultivation more efficient.]"

"[This effect can be stacked with other talents.]"

"[Consume ten Fortune Points to upgrade to White Quality.]"

My luck isn’t too bad.

Wen Zhixing nodded; this talent was still somewhat useful to him.

His divine soul could grow even stronger.

The next moment, a sense of coolness flashed through his head.

Both his Sea of Sense and divine soul seemed to grow a bit stronger. However, this slight enhancement was virtually negligible for Wen Zhixing’s current state.

Let’s upgrade it.

Without much thought, Wen Zhixing immediately chose to upgrade this talent. He chose to upgrade it two levels at once.

After all, he could currently afford to spend a hundred or so Fortune Points.

"[You have consumed 110 Fortune Points, Talented Talisman Maker (Gray) began its continuous upgrade.]"

"[Upgrade complete! You have acquired the talent: Talent: Unparalleled Talisman!]"

"[Talent: Unparalleled Talisman:] Blue Quality, can significantly enhance your insight into the path of talismans, while also greatly improving the strength of your divine soul, significantly boosting efficiency when cultivating talismans.]"

"[This effect can be stacked with other talents.]"

"[Consume 1,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Purple Quality.]"

"[Current Fortune Points: 151.]"

BUZZ!

The instant the upgrade was complete, Wen Zhixing once again felt his Sea of Sense stir as it began to expand.

At the same time, his divine soul also felt that refreshing sensation.

This time, the sensation was much stronger than before.

I’m about to make a breakthrough.

Wen Zhixing felt he was on the verge of breaking through.

That thin membrane felt like it would break with just a gentle poke.

It’s just a matter of a few days.

Wen Zhixing was very satisfied.

Soon, he would become a Sixth Realm cultivator.

He just wondered what his Inborn Divine Ability would be.

Wen Zhixing wasn’t overly expectant about this.

After all, he had plenty of Divine Abilities, and even if his Inborn Divine Ability was average, it wouldn’t be a major issue for him.

Continue.

Wen Zhixing, chuckling happily, prepared to open the remaining Fortune Fragments.

Unfortunately, he didn’t find anything good in the White Fortune. He could only choose the Fortune Points in the end.

"[Fortune Points +8.]"

"[Current Fortune Points: 159.]"

Still two fortunes left.

Wen Zhixing was not too disappointed.

After all, it was just a White Fortune Fragment, and it was normal not to get anything good that suited him.

"[Blue Fortune Fragment (3/3) has been collected. You can consume one month of life-span to synthesize and obtain one of the following fortunes:]"

"[Option One: Acquire the secret skill: Paper to Soldiers.]"

"[Option Two: Obtain 100 Fortune Points.]"

"[Option Three: Acquire the fortune of Lianxin.]"

A new secret skill?

Seeing this, Wen Zhixing’s eyes immediately shone.

What’s with today? It’s one good thing after another.

What is this Paper to Soldiers?

Wen Zhixing’s gaze flickered.

Although he couldn’t discern much from its name, given it came from a Blue Fortune, it probably wouldn’t be too bad.

"Choose Option One, Paper to Soldiers."

Wen Zhixing made his decision decisively, even a little impatiently.

"[You’ve acquired the secret skill: Paper to Soldiers.]"

"[Congratulations, you’ve had a small burst of good luck and obtained a Purple Quality secret skill!]"

"[Paper to Soldiers: Purple Quality, once this secret skill is mastered, you can turn paper into soldiers.]"

"[Consume 10,000 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blazing Gold Quality.]"

It’s actually Purple Quality! What a huge win!

Wen Zhixing was immediately overjoyed, his face brimming with happiness.

It had been a long time since he’d received higher-quality rewards from lower-quality fortunes.

Today’s luck was simply unbelievable.

The next moment, a transparent jade slip fell out of thin air and landed in the palm of his hand.

It contained the secret skill of "Paper to Soldiers."

The earlier description of "Paper to Soldiers" had been extremely brief, and Wen Zhixing found it somewhat ambiguous.

Does this secret technique allow one to create soldiers from paper, similar to the saying ’scattering beans to make soldiers,’ or can it transform paper into actual weapons? Or perhaps both?

I’ll study it later; there’s still a Purple Fortune to open.

Though excited, Wen Zhixing restrained himself, only briefly scanning the content of the jade slip before stowing it away.

My luck today is exceptionally good. I have to seize this momentum and hurry to open the next fortune.

"[Purple Fortune Fragment (4/4) collected. You can consume one month of life-span to synthesize it and obtain one of the following fortunes:]"

"[Option One: Acquire a spiritual pet: Ghostly Cunning Spirit.]"

"[Option Two: Acquire 1,000 Fortune Points.]"

"[Option Three: Acquire the fortune of Lianxin.]"

A spiritual pet? That’s not bad either...

Gazing at the reward from the final Purple Fortune, Wen Zhixing found himself slightly lost in thought.

It had been a long time since he’d obtained so many good things at once, as he had today.

Previously, most of the rewards were either too poor, or they repeated or even clashed with previous fortunes.

But today, three of the four fortunes had yielded something useful.

"Choose option one, the Ghostly Cunning Spirit."

Wen Zhixing took a deep breath and selected the spiritual pet.

Although 1,000 Fortune Points were also tempting, a Purple Quality spiritual pet was more attractive to him.

He had fantasized about such a thing before.

After all, having a powerful spiritual pet would be incredibly impressive.

Within the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, he had seen many spiritual beasts.

He recalled Master Crane, and the Winged Tiger that had transported Jiang Baiyu and the others to the Suspending Hall—both were spiritual beasts.

If cultivated properly, it would become a formidable combat asset.

Even a prominent figure like Qin Yang carried a beast pet.

This demonstrated that if one had the chance to raise a spiritual beast, one definitely should pursue it.

He hadn’t had the means before, but now the opportunity had arrived.

BUZZ!

Just then, a dazzling light appeared in front of Wen Zhixing’s eyes.

The space in front of him was ripped apart.

A small crack emerged.

The next instant, a slightly illusory, human-shaped shadow stepped out from the crack and appeared before Wen Zhixing.

The Ghostly Cunning Spirit was pitch black like ink, its size roughly that of a small kitten.

If it weren’t for the glint in its eyes, it would be nearly indistinguishable from a shadow.

What is this?

Seeing this, Wen Zhixing was momentarily taken aback.

This Ghostly Cunning Spirit seemed to lack a physical form, appearing more like an ethereal divine soul or, perhaps more accurately, a shadow.

However, the next moment, the Ghostly Cunning Spirit flashed and landed on his shoulder.

"Hmm..."

Wen Zhixing suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, a tangible presence.

It has a body?

Surprised, Wen Zhixing couldn’t help but reach out to touch it.

The sensation was very strange.

It felt like touching flowing water—he could make contact, yet he couldn’t grasp it.

As he touched it, the connection between them grew clearer.

"[Acquired spiritual pet: Ghostly Cunning Spirit.]"

"[Ghostly Cunning Spirit:] Purple Quality. This spiritual pet is an aberrant variant of the ghost tribe, with a body that exists between tangible and intangible. It can freely assume any shape and typically turns invisible, hiding within the shadows of others. It can also attach to another’s body and quietly drain their divine soul.]"

"[The Ghostly Cunning Spirit can devour others’ divine souls to enhance its strength or even advance itself.]"

"[It requires a daily feeding of one remnant soul, or alternatively, consuming 10 Fortune Points for feeding.]"

"[The stronger the Ghostly Cunning Spirit, the greater the consumption.]"

"[Consume one thousand Fortune Points to upgrade to Purple Quality.]"

Wait, I have to feed it remnant souls every day?

On seeing this, Wen Zhixing was immediately dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected the Ghostly Cunning Spirit actually fed on such things.

If there were no remnant souls to devour, it would require 10 Fortune Points.

Such a huge expense is practically crippling! This is equivalent to 300 Fortune Points a month! And as the Ghostly Cunning Spirit grows stronger, this cost will only increase. Three hundred points is just the minimum!
