Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 662 - 98: Pill Master and Array Master Qualitative Transformation (Part 2)

As soon as these words fell, all the traitors present fell silent, a faint, hard-to-detect trace of fear flashing through their eyes.

And that trace of fear was completely captured by the man sitting on the throne.

He shook his head slightly and said, "I know what you’re thinking, but fear won’t solve anything. What we need to do now is figure out how to kill Qin An."

Long ago, when the traitors fought against the Defenders, that Defender who predicted Qin An had become a heart demon in the minds of all traitors.

Because that Defender was simply too strong. Once he predicted the Savior, it was as if a knife was stabbed into the hearts of all traitors.

If that knife wasn’t pulled out, the fear rooted in their hearts would never disappear.

Seeing that no one spoke yet, the man continued, "Our Black Demon Forbidden Land ranks near the top even among the large Forbidden Areas. This time, although the Reincarnation Forbidden Area was destroyed, the Celestial Demon Envoy still managed to find all of Qin An’s abilities from its annihilation. I’ve already had people send them to you. I hope you can study them thoroughly."

Once this sentence fell, someone below finally spoke up.

"My lord, after we study them thoroughly, will we make a move on Qin An?"

The man nodded slightly and said, "That’s right. I’ve already communicated with the Celestial Demon Envoy. The Celestial Demon Envoy said that when Qin An next enters a Forbidden Area, he will do his utmost to open a passage between them. At most, we can arrange manpower from three Forbidden Areas to go over and besiege Qin An. By then, Qin An will undoubtedly die."

As soon as these words came out, the traitors below looked at each other, all revealing an expression of excitement.

If three Forbidden Areas besieged Qin An, it would be an enormous advantage for them.

After all, Qin An had yet to fully grow. If they could gather the power of three Forbidden Areas, they would definitely have a guaranteed victory.

The traitor who had just spoken up asked again, "Lord Black Demon, which Forbidden Areas will be cooperating with us this time?"

Black Demon let out a cold laugh and said, "One of them is the Star Forbidden Land. The master of that Star Forbidden Land already has old grievances with Qin An and can’t wait to get rid of him."

The traitor hurriedly nodded. "Among the large Forbidden Areas, the Star Forbidden Land is also considered top-tier. They indeed have the qualification to participate."

Black Demon continued, "As for the identity of the other Forbidden Area, I think you’ve all heard some rumors."

The traitor showed a look of surprise. "Is it that Forbidden Area which controls the Fire Origin among all the large Forbidden Areas?"

Black Demon nodded. "Exactly. This time, opening the passage is thanks to Lord Celestial Demon borrowing the Fire Origin and the Earth Origin controlled by the Star Forbidden Land. Only by Fusing the two can the passage be opened."

An excited expression appeared on the traitor’s face. "If that’s the case, we will surely be able to behead Qin An! By then, Lord Celestial Demon will definitely speak highly of us."

Black Demon said in a deep voice, "That’s why I want you to be fully prepared. Investigate every bit of information and report everything to me clearly. Don’t miss a single detail."

The traitors below exchanged a glance, then responded in unison, "Yes!"

The fear that had been lodged in their hearts quickly disappeared.

This was a rare opportunity.

If even three major Forbidden Areas couldn’t deal with Qin An, then that would be truly strange.

Moreover, Lord Celestial Demon would be personally making a move this time—there was absolutely no chance of failure.

Soon, this group of people all left and, according to Black Demon’s orders, began to investigate all sorts of information about Qin An.

The place quickly became empty and deserted.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.

During this period, Qin An once again sank into seclusion.

Every moment, he was cultivating proficiency in the Pill Master and Array Master Professions, without the slightest slack.

Today, Qin An stayed in his room. Looking at the simple Array placed on the table, he waved his hand and scattered the Array.

A line of smoke appeared before his eyes, then condensed into words, floating in midair.

[Pill Master lv.21 (0/010000): The success rate of the pills you refine is increased, and their medicinal power is purer. Refining time is shortened, refining precision is improved, pill toxins are reduced, pill absorption rate is increased, and pill mutation is enhanced.]

[Talents: Element Transformation Realm heat control Perfection, Element Transformation Realm pill material consumption reduced, Element Transformation Realm medicinal ingredient purification Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Heart Refining Skill Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Pill Fusion Skill Perfection, Element Transformation Realm pill toxicity enhanced, Element Transformation Realm pill-realm empowerment]

...

[Array Master lv.21 (0/100000): Your Array setup speed is increased, and your Array-breaking speed is increased. Materials required for Array setup are reduced, Array materials are purified, Array material toughness is increased, Array material compatibility is enhanced, Array random ability is enhanced.]

[Talents: Element Transformation Realm Array Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Array resistance Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Array effect enhancement, Element Transformation Realm Heart Array Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Array Fusion Perfection, Element Transformation Realm Array destructive power enhancement, Element Transformation Realm Array Earth Vein extraction Perfection]

...

The moment the words appeared, they instantly exploded and dispersed, turning into a vast ocean of information that poured into Qin An’s mind like a tide.

He only felt a wave of comfort wash over his whole body. After he finished absorbing all the information, he slowly opened his eyes.

During the dull and lengthy seclusion, he had finally cultivated the Pill Master and Array Master Professions to level twenty-one and ushered in a new round of qualitative change.

First was the Pill Master Profession.

After the qualitative change, an additional trait appeared: pill mutation enhancement.

This trait allowed pills refined by Qin An to undergo mutation.

And all such mutations would develop in a beneficial direction.

As for talents, all of them had advanced to Element Transformation Realm Perfection, and an additional talent appeared: Element Transformation Realm pill-realm empowerment.

This talent was rather interesting.

The pills Qin An refined in the future would have their medicinal effect increase along with the user’s Realm, no longer limited by the pill itself.

In other words, when Qin An took pills himself in the future, relying on his strength in the Tripod Aspiration Realm, he could raise the medicinal effects to an extremely terrifying level.

Although it wasn’t a direct boost to combat power, for him it was indeed an indirect improvement.

As for the other Array Master Profession, after reaching level twenty-one, it gained an additional trait: Array random ability enhancement.

In the future, whenever Qin An set up an Array, he would obtain a random ability enhancement, which could be considered a huge buff.

And all the talents were likewise raised to Element Transformation Realm Perfection, with an extra talent added: Element Transformation Realm Array Earth Vein extraction Perfection.

When Qin An laid Arrays in the future, he could directly extract the power of the Earth Veins, completely different from how he’d used his Cultivation Technique to draw on them before.

In other words, whenever Qin An set up an Array in the future, it would be supported by Earth Veins.

While other Array Masters might still rely on materials.

Compared to other Array Masters, this was simply the difference between heaven and earth.

The qualitative changes brought about by raising both Professions to level twenty-one filled Qin An’s heart with joy.

He looked at the smoke before his eyes, falling into deep thought.

After a long while, Qin An made up his mind.

"Right now I have plenty of resources and plenty of merit. I don’t care about so-called missions at all. Next, I’ll keep raising the Scholar Profession and push my Heart Method to Great Success in the Tripod Aspiration Realm first."

He had already grown addicted to the exhilaration brought by explosions in strength, so while he was still free from worldly interference, he planned to keep pushing to Great Success in the Tripod Aspiration Realm.

After all, Realm was always the top priority.

By this time, it was already dark.

Although Qin An had made up his mind, he did not start immediately.

This period had been rather busy for him.

After thinking it over briefly, Qin An did not hesitate, turned, and lay down on the bed.

He thought this night would pass quickly.

But just as he had barely fallen asleep, he immediately felt a pulling force.

In the next instant, Qin An felt himself arrive in a strange space.

Qin An raised his head, sweeping his gaze across the surrounding darkness, then lowered his head to look at his own hands, frowning slightly.

"This feels so familiar... is this a dream?"

Just as that thought arose, the sound of footsteps slowly came toward him.
