CHAPTER 351: LOCALLYARCH TYPED CONTEXTUALPORTAL VITAL SLICK SAMPLES PAST

[[Talented Talisman Maker: Grey Quality] Slightly enhances your comprehension of the Way of Talismans, slightly increases your divine soul strength, and makes cultivating the Way of Talismans more efficient.]

[This effect can be stacked with other talents.]

[Spend ten Fortune Points to upgrade to White Quality.]

"My luck is decent," Wen Zhixing nodded, finding the talent somewhat useful for him.

His divine soul could grow a bit stronger still.

The next moment, a cool sensation passed through his head.

Both his Sea of Sense and divine soul seemed to have grown somewhat stronger. Unfortunately, this meager enhancement was practically negligible for the current Wen Zhixing.

"Upgrade it."

Without overthinking, Wen Zhixing chose to upgrade his talent. And he upgraded it twice in a row.

After all, for him at this point, he could easily afford a hundred or so Fortune Points.

[You have spent 110 Fortune Points. Talented Talisman Maker (Grey) has begun its consecutive upgrade.]

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

[Talent: Unparalleled Talisman: Blue Quality] Significantly enhances your comprehension of the Way of Talismans, greatly increases your divine soul strength, and makes cultivating the Way of Talismans twice as effective.]

[This effect can be stacked with other talents.]

[Spend one thousand Fortune Points to upgrade to Purple Quality.]

[Current Fortune Points: 151.]

HUM!

The moment the upgrade completed, Wen Zhixing once again felt a stirring in his Sea of Sense, which began to feel slightly more expansive. Simultaneously, his divine soul also relished a refreshing sensation. This time, the feeling was much more intense than before.

"I’m on the verge of a breakthrough."

Wen Zhixing felt himself edging toward a breakthrough. The thin barrier seemed like it could be punctured with a mere poke.

"It should happen in 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.

To this, Wen Zhixing didn’t hold much anticipation. After all, he had plenty of Divine Abilities; even if his Inborn Divine Ability turned out to be mediocre, it wouldn’t be a big deal for him.

"Continue."

Wen Zhixing, quite cheerfully, readied himself to open the remaining Fortune Fragments.

Unfortunately, the White Fortune did not yield anything noteworthy. In the end, he opted for Fortune Points.

[Fortune Points +8.]

[Current Fortune Points: 159.]

"There are two more Fortunes," Wen Zhixing wasn’t too disappointed. After all, they were just White Fortune Fragments, so it was normal not to get anything good suited for him.

[Blue Fortune Fragment (3/3) has been collected. It can be synthesized by sacrificing one month of life-span, and you will gain one of the following fortunes:]

[Option 1: Acquire the secret skill: Paper to Soldiers.]

[Option 2: Receive 100 Fortune Points.]

[Option 3: Acquire the fortune of Lianxin.]

"A new secret skill?"

At the sight, Wen Zhixing’s eyes instantly lit up. What’s with today? It’s one good thing after another.

"What’s this Paper to Soldiers?"

Wen Zhixing’s gaze flickered with curiosity. Although I can’t deduce much from the name, since it came from a Blue Fortune, it shouldn’t be too bad.

"Option 1, Paper to Soldiers."

Wen Zhixing made a decisive choice, almost impatiently.

[You have acquired the secret skill: Paper to Soldiers.]

[Congratulations! You’ve had a small burst of good fortune and have received a secret skill of Purple Quality.]

[Paper to Soldiers: Purple Quality] This secret skill, once mastered, allows you to transform paper into soldiers.]

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

"It’s actually Purple Quality! This is a huge gain!" Wen Zhixing was overjoyed, his happiness clearly showing.

It had been a long time since I’ve pulled a higher-quality reward from a lower-tier fortune. Today’s luck is almost unbelievable.

The next moment, a translucent jade slip fell from mid-air and landed in the palm of his hand. It contained the instructions for the Paper to Soldiers secret skill.

The introduction to Paper to Soldiers had been very brief, and Wen Zhixing felt it was somewhat ambiguous. Does this secret skill work like ’scattering beans to make soldiers,’ or can it transform paper into weapons? Or perhaps it includes both.

"I’ll study it later; there’s still a Purple Fortune Fragment to be opened."

Yet Wen Zhixing suppressed his excitement. He just briefly scanned the content of the jade slip and tucked it away. My luck today is quite good. I should take advantage of this. I need to hurry and open the next fortune.

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

[One: Receive a spiritual pet: Ghostly Cunning Spirit.]

[Two: Receive 1,000 Fortune Points.]

[Three: Receive the fortune of Lianxin.]

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

Wen Zhixing gazed at the last Purple Fortune’s rewards, somewhat lost in thought. It has been a long time since I’ve drawn so many good things like today. Previously, most of my rewards were either too shoddy, overlapped, or even conflicted with previous fortunes. But today, I hit three out of four.

"I choose the first option, the Ghostly Cunning Spirit."

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

Even though 1,000 Fortune Points were also tempting, a Purple Quality spiritual pet was more attractive to him. Honestly, I’ve fantasized about such a thing before. After all, owning a powerful spiritual pet would be extremely impressive.

In the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, he had witnessed numerous spirit beasts. Master Crane from before, as well as the Winged Tiger that transported Jiang Baiyu and the others to the Suspending Hall, were all spirit beasts. If raised well, it would be a significant battle asset. Even a manly fellow like Qin Yang carries a beast pet, doesn’t he? This just goes to show, if a spirit beast can be nurtured, it should be. Previously, I didn’t have the means, but now the time seems right.

BUZZ!

At that moment, a brilliant light appeared before Wen Zhixing’s eyes. The space in front of him was torn open, and a tiny crack appeared.

The next instant, a slightly ethereal, humanoid shadow stepped out from it, appearing before Wen Zhixing.

The Ghostly Cunning Spirit was as pitch-black as ink and about the size of a small cat. If not for its glowing eyes, it would have been almost indistinguishable from a mere shadow.

"What is this?"

Seeing this, Wen Zhixing was slightly startled. This Ghostly Cunning Spirit seems not to have a physical body, but more like an ethereal soul. Or perhaps it’s like a shadow.

However, the next moment, the Ghostly Cunning Spirit’s form flickered and landed on his shoulder.

Wen Zhixing felt his body suddenly grow heavy; he sensed a significant weight. It has a body?

Wen Zhixing was astonished and could not help but reach out to touch it. The sensation was very strange, like touching flowing water—tangible, yet ungraspable.

Upon his touch, the connection between the two began to clarify.

[Received spiritual pet: Ghostly Cunning Spirit.]

[Ghostly Cunning Spirit: Purple Quality] This spiritual pet is an exotic breed of the ghostly spirits, with a body that exists between the physical and the intangible. It can freely change into any form. It can usually become invisible, hiding in the shadows of others, and can also attach to people to silently drain their divine souls.]

[The Ghostly Cunning Spirit can devour others’ divine souls to strengthen itself, and even advance on its own.]

[It must be fed one remnant soul daily, or you can spend 10 Fortune Points to feed it.]

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

[Spend one thousand Fortune Points to upgrade to Purple Quality.]

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

Seeing this, Wen Zhixing was immediately taken aback. I hadn’t expected the Ghostly Cunning Spirit to consume such things. If there are no remnant souls to devour, I’ll need to spend 10 Fortune Points instead. Such a large expense is staggering! That means spending 300 Fortune Points a month! And as the Ghostly Cunning Spirit grows stronger, this consumption will increase even more. 300 points is merely the minimum expenditure.
