I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 8: Advanced

It was just a simple pill preparation, at most it could be called alchemy, but on the attribute panel, it unexpectedly became Alchemy Technique, just like Weapon Refining Technique.

It should be a different name. In this world, pills are divided into three layers, just like weapons. They are Mortal Level Low Grade, Mortal Level Intermediate, and Mortal Level High Grade.

Those who can prepare Mortal Level Low Grade pills are Mortal Level Low Grade alchemists, those who can prepare Mortal Level Intermediate pills are Mortal Level Intermediate alchemists, and those who can prepare Mortal Level High Grade pills are naturally Mortal Level High Grade alchemists.

They are commonly referred to as Low Level alchemists, Middle Level alchemists, and High Level alchemists, just like the classification of blacksmiths.

However, on the attribute panel, levels one to three correspond to Low Level blacksmiths and Low Level alchemists, levels four to six correspond to Middle Level blacksmiths and Middle Level alchemists, and levels seven to ten correspond to High Level blacksmiths and High Level alchemists.

With the entry of Alchemy Technique, Song Fulu's Alchemy Technique successfully broke through to Level 1. At this time, Song Fulu also discovered something astonishing, that his lifespan had increased by one year without him knowing.

It seems that cultivation can indeed bring about an increase in lifespan. If that's the case, when he reaches a sufficient level of cultivation, is it possible for him to achieve immortality?

Thinking of this possibility, Song Fulu became excited and attached even more importance to cultivation, allocating his new Free Talent Points to Cultivation Talent.

As the Free Talent Points disappeared, Song Fulu suddenly felt a surge of clarity and transparency throughout his body, far surpassing the previous sensation, making him intoxicated in an instant.

This transformation far exceeded the previous one. Song Fulu could even clearly feel the impurities flowing out of his body, giving him a refreshing feeling while also feeling a bit uncomfortable.

After a few minutes, this feeling dissipated. Looking at the attribute panel, Cultivation Talent had once again broken through.

Cultivation Talent: 8 points (Advanced)

Song Fulu's Cultivation Talent had advanced to a new layer, from Good to Advanced. Song Fulu tried his current cultivation speed, which was about eight times faster than the original owner's.

If there was enough dried beef from the stone ox, his cultivation speed could reach about forty times that of the original owner. The realm that originally required over thirty years to break through, Song Fulu only needed about nine months.

Indeed, the Advanced level of Cultivation Talent was truly terrifying.

After adapting to his current cultivation speed, Song Fulu hurried to the blacksmith shop to prepare to forge another twenty-refined weapon.

After several days of hard work, Weapon Refining Technique was getting closer to level six. Song Fulu was already able to forge weapons with more than thirty refinements, but twenty-refined weapons were already sufficient for the surrounding villages to use, with a good cost-performance ratio. If there were more, they would be difficult to sell and wouldn't earn much profit.

So, the weapons Song Fulu usually forged were mainly twenty-refined, and he only made a few thirty-refined Goose Feather Knives for himself.

"Poor Uncle Changlong, he just came back a little late and was targeted by the female ghost from the neighboring village. His death was gruesome."

"Poor Uncle Changlong's two daughters are not even ten years old yet. How will they live now?"

...

On the road, Song Fulu heard the villagers' discussions. He also felt a chill in his heart. Lu Changlong's house was not far from his own, and Song Fulu often saw his two little daughters.

The day before yesterday, Song Fulu saw Lu Changlong energetically going hunting. Unexpectedly, just one day later, Lu Changlong was killed by a female ghost.

Lu Changlong's strength had already reached the Exterior Forging Third Layer. His Basic Knife Technique and Basic Movement Technique were also superior to Song Fulu's. But he still died.

This made Song Fulu more aware of the dangers outside the village. He decided not to go out for a short period of time. He would exchange for what he needed with dried beef jerky and consider leaving the village only after his strength improved.

After completing a twenty-refined weapon, Song Fulu immediately returned home and began to diligently cultivate his martial arts. When he could no longer practice, he would focus on improving his Alchemy Technique and Seed Planting Technique.

Although the days were a bit dull, Song Fulu felt a sense of security as he continuously improved his strength.

For Song Fulu, who had experienced three years of high school, this kind of life was really nothing compared to the terrifying final year of high school in China.

Early in the morning, Song Fulu arrived at the blacksmith shop with ten twenty-refined weapons prepared.

Because today was the day the village went to the town to purchase supplies every ten days, Song Fulu specifically asked the village elder, Lu Chang, who was leading the group, to help him sell these ten twenty-refined weapons.

For each weapon sold, Song Fulu would give ten catties of dried beef jerky as a reward. Originally, Lu Chang didn't want this money. To him, it was just a side task.

But even brothers need to settle accounts, not to mention that Song Fulu would need the help of the village elder in the future, so he naturally wouldn't let others run errands for free.

Therefore, with Song Fulu's insistence, Lu Chang agreed to accept one weapon and ten catties of dried beef jerky as a reward. This price was definitely not low, and any village elder would be happy to help.

"Xiaofu, are the weapons ready?"

At this moment, Lu Chang walked in from outside. He was thin and sturdy, with a bit of green dye on his coarse clothes, making him look slightly different from the other villagers.

Lu Chang was already fifty-one years old and had reached the Exterior Forging Fourth Layer. Although his blood and energy had started to decline due to his old age, he was still considered a strong fighter in the Exterior Forging Fourth Layer.

Song Fulu handed a wooden box to Lu Chang, "Uncle Chang, there are ten twenty-refined weapons inside. They are commonly used weapons in the surrounding villages. I trouble you with this."

"Good, these weapons are really good. They can definitely be sold at a good price. Xiaofu, your craftsmanship is becoming more and more impressive." Lu Chang looked at the weapons in the box and was somewhat surprised. If it weren't for the fact that Song Fulu had hidden part of his strength, it would have caused a sensation in the entire village.

After seeing Lu Chang off, Song Fulu began to forge twenty-refined weapons again. Not only could he earn money, but he could also accumulate experience and strive to reach a higher layer.

In the evening, Lu Chang and his group returned from Stone Forest Town, bringing back several carts of supplies that the villagers needed, including over a thousand catties of dried beef jerky for Song Fulu.

The ten twenty-refined weapons were exchanged for over 1,800 catties of dried beef jerky, which was about two hundred catties more than Song Fulu had expected. After deducting the reward for Lu Chang, Song Fulu still had about 1,700 catties of dried beef jerky, enough for him to consume for over a month.

With the dried beef jerky he had accumulated before, Song Fulu could now freely consume it and cultivate at the fastest speed to enter the Exterior Forging Third Layer as soon as possible.

Time passed like water, and without realizing it, another month had passed. Song Fulu's attribute panel had improved a lot compared to before.
