Talent Swallowing System



'Low-level rank 1 talismans and low-level rank 1 puppets and I can complete the daily quota for the

[Fundamental Merge].'

In his current situation, Leo only has access to limited items and almost all of them are low-level ones.

Even though he was a mid-level Rank 1 Talisman Master and Puppet Creator, his success rate of creating mid-level Rank 1 Puppets and Talismans was very low.

It was mainly because he was not focused on them and learned just to take some time off his cultivation.

Hence, he only has low-level rank 1 talismans and puppets with him and he only has around 100 of them each.

'Let's start the merge.'

Without wasting any time, Leo repeated the same procedure he followed for the pills and spirit stones to merge the talismans and puppets.

After five minutes, Leo successfully used the remaining two uses of the [Fundamental Merge] on the low-level rank 1 talismans and puppets to create a special mid-level rank 1 talisman and puppet.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

To check the information about the merged items, Leo used his talent.

….

Item Name: Golden Armour Talisman.

Grade: Rank 1 (mid-level).

Effect: 1) Upon using it, a Golden Armour materialises around the user to increase his defence by 50 percent for 10 minutes.

Note: Effective only for Qi Refinement Cultivators.

Special Effect: It can block a full-on attack from a cultivator with the cultivation of level 5 Foundation Establishment Realm and below.

….

Item Name: Combat Puppet.

Grade: Rank 1 (mid-level).

Strength: Level 6 Qi-refinement.

Effect: By injecting some Moon Energy from the cultivator's dantian into the puppet, it can fight for one full hour.

Special Effect: Angry Puppet: Upon the cultivator's command, the Puppet will use the entire Moon Energy injected into it to temporarily boost its strength to perfected Qi Refinement to fight for five minutes.

….

'Haha…both special effects are quite useful for my sect's disciples when they are doing the missions in the wilderness.'

Looking at the modified effects and the special effects that were supposed to be not present, Leo could not help but laugh out loud.

'If only I have my God Energy, I could have not bothered with the Cooldown and went on a merging spree all the time.'

Suddenly, Leo remembered about his God Space and how useful it would have been in his current situation.

Thinking about it, Leo could not help shaking his head in disappointment.

'Wait a second…so what if there is no God Space? I can just find the God Stones or Fragments of God Stones to reset the daily cooldown.'

In the next second, Leo became excited as he looked forward to his future.

"Anyway, since I now know the benefits of the [Fundamental Merge], I should properly plan my future."

After seeing the end products of his [Fundamental Merge], Leo decided to plan his future properly.

'First, I need to improve the strength of my sect and the financial status.'

To improve the strength of his sect, Leo needs cultivation resources and to buy them, he needs money.

Even though he could merge them into special high-level items, it would still be too slow and even the lowest of the lowest cultivation resources needs money.

'However, I can't sell these special items openly because the sect is not powerful enough to protect itself if those two sects attacked us.'

Leo raised his brows and muttered, 'I have two choices. One is to sell these special items in the Black Market to get some funds.'

'As for the other one, I should enter the Dark Moon Forest that is close to Silvermoon City.'

Leo muttered about his two choices; however, the next moment, he hurriedly rejected the second thought.

It was because, if the other two sects attacked the sect in his absence, it would be easily destroyed. After all, there would be only Gallant left to protect the sect as three elders of the sect left on a mission in the wilderness.

So, without him, the sect won't last for long.

'It's decided then. I will enter the Black Market.'

From his memories, Leo knew the exact location of the Black Market and also knew how to enter it because his predecessor entered the Black Market so many times to find some cultivation resources that could prolong his life span.

'But, let's not enter the Black Market for now.'

Even though Leo had five special items with him, he was not planning to sell all of them as it would only attract attention.

Despite hiding his identity, Leo didn't want such attention and only planned to sell one particular item among the five items.

'My sect disciples can use the pills and my sect elders could use the mid-level Spirit Stones, so I can sell either talismans or puppets.'

Leo eliminated the useful items from his list and after thinking, 'Having puppets could be considered as having more combat strength. So, I will only tell talismans for now.'

Even though the talismans were also useful, Leo didn't have a use for them as he was not planning to send his disciples out of the sect any time soon.

Therefore, these Golden Armour Talismans were not very useful to him.

'It's decided by them.'

Soon, he concluded, 'For the next four days, I will accumulate another four Golden Armour Talismans and sell them all and buy some higher-level items.'

Even though he could focus on increasing his comprehension in making mid-level talismans and puppets, he knew it would take a lot of time.

Moreover, even if he used his talent, he needed to spend so much money on the materials required to create them.

'Unlike Alchemy, my comprehension of talisman making and puppet creation is terrible. Even creating low-level ones has less than 50 percent of success rate.'

Thinking of all the time, energy, and money he would consume on them, Leo didn't feel like doing it.

Instead, he could just buy the items, merge them into special high-level items and sell them before repeating the process.

Moreover, the other reason why he chose to sell the Talismans is that no one….even in their wildest dreams could relate that those Talismans have anything to do with him.

Because everyone knows that Leo's success rate of creating the low-level talisman was so bad that no one would believe him even if someone said Leo refined a mid-level Talisman, not to mention a special mid-level talisman.

'If possible, I want to focus on improving my alchemy knowledge to rank 2 so that I can refine the Foundation Establishment Pills on my own.'

When Leo thought about refining Foundation Establishment Pills and merging them into special high-level pills, he could not help but become excited.

Nevertheless, he knew that he could not even afford the ingredients required for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

'I wonder whether I can find where the other system fragments are?'

Leo was still not tired even after using the [Quasi Divine Knowledge] many times, making him decide to use it on finding the remaining four system fragments.

Because, if he could get the system faster, he could have an easier time surviving in this world full of dangers.

'How many System Fragments are there in Silvermoon City other than the one I have with me now.'

Leo framed his question to make sure it consumes as little mind power as possible.

Since he said only Silvermoon City, Leo believed it won't cost much mind power because the city was not very big.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

There are two System Fragments in Silvermoon City.

….

'What?'

Leo felt his mind power consumed at a rapid speed; however, he estimated it to be around 50 percent left.

However, he was shocked to see there were still two system fragments in Silvermoon City.

'I have to get them. I have to get them.'

Soon, that shock transformed into excitement as he framed another question before using his talent.

'Are they in the Black Market or in the hands of the Sects?'

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

They are in the Black Market

…

'I think I should enter the black market right away.'

Once he saw the answer, Leo decided not to waste any time entering the Black Market.

Because he feared that the two system fragments might move somewhere else and it would be troublesome to find them again when they were right under his nose.

'Gallant, I have something to say to you?'

After informing Gallant through the Communication Talisman, Leo started his preparations to enter the Black Market.

'To make sure no one can guess my identity, let's eat the Vitality Pill I merged just now.'

'Gulp'

Since Leo was at the end of his life and the one-year extension was given to him because of the mission, Leo was still weak.

Therefore, he wanted to swallow the Vitality Pill and increase his lifespan by one year.

Moreover, the vitality in his body would also increase, making him strong for at least a month.

Hence, even if Leo encountered someone he knew in the Black Market, no one could relate an active mysterious man with an old man who has one step into the grave.

Leo didn't wait for the effects of the Vitality Pill to appear as he hurriedly got ready for his visit to the Black Market

He wore five layers of robes, a black-coloured face mask and a long-back hat.

'It's good, now.'

By the time he got ready, Leo felt that his body was filled with vitality and felt quite energetic.
