Talent Swallowing System



Just like his previous pill refinements, Leo was able to refine 40 Spirirtual Essence Pills as he slowly took them out to check their quality.

'20 mid-level and 20 high-level…it is the same as the other pills.'

Leo was pleasantly surprised because he was not expecting he would refine the same quantity and same quality pills despite refining a rank 2 pills.

'At this time, I can easily accumulate funds to buy a Golden Core Pill.'

No matter how many plans he had in his head, Leo's initial goal in this world was to break through the shackles of the foundation establishment realm and become a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

'Anyway, let's merge and check the information on the pill.'

Putting aside his thoughts, Leo took out 10 high-level Spiritual Essence Pills and merged them into a top-level pill.

After that, without wasting any time, Leo checked the information on it.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Pill Name: Spiritual Essence Pills.

Grade: Rank 2 (Top-level).

Effect: Consuming it, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator could instantly recover his Moon Energy.

Special Effect: 1) First-time consumption of the pill can help a cultivator get enlightenment in one of the things he had cultivated in his life.

2) For the second consumption, there is a 50 percent chance of enlightenment.

3) From the third consumption, there will be a 25 percent chance of enlightenment and if it was triggered, it will be reduced to 10 percent and even if it was triggered, it would be reduced to one percent.

….

'What? Can a Golden Core Realm Cultivator instantly recover the Moon Energy? It is no longer a rank 2 pill but a rank 3 pill.'

Leo was already having high expectations from the pills; however, he was still shocked to see such a basic effect.

And when he saw the special effects, Leo became speechless with excitement.

'Adding the special effect, this pill can be considered a rare rank 4 or even a rank 5 pill that could help the cultivators above Nascent Soul Realm.'

Leo estimated the grade of the pill in his head and soon, he shook his head with pity, 'If not for the 100 percent enlightenment, I could have sold it as a high-level rank 3 pill that could instantly recover the Moon Energy.'

If word gets out regarding the special effect of this pill, the entire Silvermoon City would become a graveyard overnight.

Therefore, Leo decided to hide this pill from the outside world and only use it for himself and his followers and disciples of the sect.

'Moreover, even I can use this pill as I have never consumed a top-level Spiritual Essence Pill before.'

Previously, Leo consumed a merged high-level spiritual essence pill and successfully enlightened into Alchemy before becoming a high-level rank 2 Alchemist.

'Since I have completed today's slots for the Fundamental Merge, I can consume this pill and see in which section I will be enlightened today.'

With that thought in mind, Leo decided to consume the Spirtual Essence Pill that he had just merged into a top-level pill.

'Before that, I should empty my Mind Power.'

Since Leo had found a hidden effect of the Spiritual Essence Pill which was to recover the soul power in an instant.

Hence, Leo decided to use his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to deplete his mind power.

'Where are the remaining two system fragments in the Lunar Country except for Silvermoon City?'

Since Leo had already got three system fragments in Silvermoon City, he could tell he needed to find the remaining two system fragments outside the city.

Therefore, he used his talent to find the information on the system fragments.

[Quasi-Divine Knowledge]

….

The fourth fragment is in a cave belonging to a Golden Core Beast in the Dark Moon Forest...

As for the fifth system fragment, it is in Lunar Sect's Beast Garden.

Mind Power: 12 / 100 percent.

….

As soon as he asked that question to himself, his mind power decreased rapidly to 12 percent, making Leo extremely tired.

He was already a little tired from making pills from yesterday and now the huge consumption of the mind power made him extremely tired.

'Phew…finally I got the locations of the remaining two system fragments.'

Even though he was extremely tired, Leo was satisfied with the information he got from the [Quasi-Divine Knowledge].

'Getting the fifth system fragment might seem hard; however, as long as I plan well, I can get it easily compared to the fourth system fragment where I need to use force to stop that Golden Core Realm Beast.'

Leo started thinking about the two system fragments, 'however, if I can use something to entice the Golden Core Beast, I might even tame it. With its help, I can easily enter the Lunar Sect…..'

Soon, Leo started thinking about the plans to get both system fragments and of course, he was only making some rough plans for now.

After making two rough plans for two system fragments, Leo stopped thinking about them and looked at the top-level Spiritual Essence Pill in his hands.

'For now, let's just focus on getting enlightenment.'

With that thought in mind, Leo directly tossed the top-level pill into his mouth.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, the familiar scene from yesterday happened as a heavenly light fell on Leo's body as he received lots of foreign knowledge in his head.

Time continued to pass and the enlightenment this time lasted for more than five hours.

'Swoosh'

When Leo opened his eyes, his eyes shone with a bright golden light. His depleted mind power has been completely recovered and reached 100 percent.

'This….time, the enlightenment is into Talisman Making.'

Leo was both happy and sad at the same time after the heavenly light stopped falling on him.

He was happy because he had become a mid-level rank 3 Talisman Maker and sad because he was not enlightened about his talent [Fundamental Merge] or the Cultivation.

'Anyway, I should not feel sad because I am a mid-level rank 3 Talisman Maker and if I can announce that to the world….it will only make me a target…sigh.'

Leo thought he could announce it and dissolve the sect in name and temporarily join the Lunar Sect as a guest elder.

However, his growth into becoming the rank 3 Talisman Maker was so big that even if he said that it was from the Enlightenment, many won't believe it.

Therefore, before he could even complete his line of thought, Leo rejected it.

'But, by becoming a mid-level Talisman Maker, it will be even easier for me to get the fourth and fifth fragments of the system.'

This was the only thing that made Leo happy.

If he could make some mid-level rank 3 attack and defence talismans and merge them into high-level rank 3 attacks, Leo believed that he would be invincible below the Nascent Soul Realm.

'It looks like I have to start working on the Talismans along with the pill refinements daily.'

With that thought in mind, Leo stood up from his place.

'Let's take some rest and focus on pill refining after that.'

Without wasting any time, Leo freshened up and went to his bed to take some good rest.

As for the congratulatory announcement from [Heaven's Voice] for his enlightenment didn't come this time; however, Leo didn't think much about it.

….

Time continued to pass and in a flash, eight hours passed by as Leo woke from his good sleep and started refining the pills from night to morning until his talent [Fundamental Merge] came out of its cooldown.

Just like yesterday, Leo merged the low-level items and got:

1) Five Low-level Moon Stones.

2) One Mid-level Spirit Stone.

3) Top-level Qi-Refinement Pill.

4) Top-level Vitality Pill.

5) Top-level Spirit Channeling Pill.

6) Top-level Qi Harmony Pill.

7) Top-level Spiritual Essence Pill.

….

By the second day of his seclusion, Leo had accumulated 4 mid-level spirit stones and 11 Low-level Moon Stones.

Even though there was nothing he could do with the mid-level spirit stones for now, he could use the Moon Stones to upgrade his [Fundament Merge] to level 3.

'Once I upgrade it to level 3, the cooldown for the talent will be reset instantly and I can merge at least 11 more times even if there were no increase in the number of the slots for the talent.'

For now, Leo's preference for using the Moon Stones was to increase the level of his talent [Fundamental Merge].

The higher its level, the more slots it will have and it might even unlock some special effects.

'Let's use it.'

Leo placed all ten Moon Stones on the floor and placed his hands on them to feel the pure Moon energy inside them.

'I want to upgrade my talent [Fundamental Merge].'

The energy inside the Moon Stones or the God Stones is special as they could sense the user's wishes and emotions.

As long as the wishes were within the range of the amount of Moon Stones, the wish will come true.

Therefore, all Leo had to do was be serious about his wish and focus on it. The rest will be taken care of by Moon Energy inside the 10 low-level moonstones in front of him.

'Swoosh'

Soon, the Moon Stones on the floor started shaking as pure white-coloured energy came out of the crystals and entered Leo's body.

'Kacha'

'Kacha'

The stones on the floor started turning into dust one by one and in no time, all ten crystals turned into dust as Leo's entire body was filled with pure Moon Energy.

[Congratulations to the Ascender for upgrading your talent to level 3. The ascender can choose two items from the following list of three items].
