Chapter 61 - 60: NewTalent l
“Elixir of Life: Direct use can transform Chosen Ones or troops, with chances of enhancing existing talents or awakening new ones.”
A treasure that can awaken talents post-natally!
Mu Yuan checked and found treasures that could awaken such talents were indeed available on the Tai Xuan Covenant platform, but they had extremely high exchange rates, starting at least ten thousand contribution points.
As for the ‘Elixir of Life’? His search results showed he did not currently have sufficient access rights to view it.
He planned on using this treasure himself. Dead Bone and Duo Lai, and other generals, were not lacking in talent. Compared to them, he, Mu Yuan, was just an ordinary player.
But the other treasure, the ‘Flower of Self-healing’, could significantly enhance the user’s self-healing ability when consumed. It would be perfect for Duo Lai to digest and absorb using his devouring ability.
It was a reward for Duo Lai’s impressive performance this time.
“As for the Miracle Building, the Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower? It is a pure defensive building, potentially more lethal than the Mage Tower, but unless unexpected, I am still short of main material, the ‘Thunder Magnetic Core’.” However, even if he possessed the main material, Mu Yuan would not build the Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower now.
Apart from the rare materials, the cost of the other pieces lumped together would at least cost around 8 or 9 Soul Crystals.
It was too expensive.
The current defensive capabilities of the domain were sufficient. Even if he found the main material, he would only build it when the Lord Trial came. The Soul Crystals he had now had to be spent elsewhere.
Mu Yuan began to manifest the two treasures he planned to use.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: Do you want to extract ‘Experience Stone-Thunderbolt Warrior’, the extraction will consume 8og of Soul Sand.”
“Prompt: Do you want to extract the ‘Elixir of Life’, the extraction will consume a Soul Crystal.”
Mu Yuan:”…”
As expected, the Elixir of Life was extremely valuable. The Trans-dimensional Fee did not lie to him.
In the basement, Mu Yuan lit several incense sticks that would calm his mind and sat quietly on the cushion.
Two treasures were placed in front of him.
A peculiar stone engraved with thunderbolt patterns;
A vial of milky white spirit liquid.
Mu Yuan picked up this peculiar stone and could vaguely sense the power stored within it.
“Channel it with spiritual power or energy, and the mysteries contained in the Experience Stone can be drawn out to enhance oneself.”
It wasn’t easy.
Ordinary people struggled to control their own spiritual power or inner energy. No matter how hard they tried, they felt nothing.
Usually, if ordinary people want to use the Heritage Stone or Experience Stone, they should go to the Players Association where they would find facilities that help in using such treasures.
However, ordinary new players could hardly reach these two kinds of treasures.
Mu Yuan held his breath in concentration, slowly infusing his spiritual power.
Buzz
It was as if a hole had opened in the world in front of him, leading him into a new realm.
No, not like it!
He looked down, he was wearing a blue and white practice suit, standing on the top of a mountain.
The whole mountaintop was extremely flat and sleek, as if shaved off by a sword, and it could even reflect his figure.
Before he had time to think about it, the bright sky suddenly dimmed, a cloud covered the sky, and thunderbolts rolled. Purple thundersnakes constantly rolled in the black clouds.
Boom-!
A thick bolt of lightning smacked on the smooth ground of the mountain top, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, it gradually grew denser, like a small rain turning into medium rain and then heavy rain.
Thunders were surging on the mountain top, sometimes smacking on Mu Yuan, making his whole body numb.
Mu Yuan:”!!!” Is this what you call an Experience Stone? Isn’t it supposed to just absorb the experience with a snap?
At this moment, he was not controlling his own body, but had probably entered into the body of a Thunderbolt Warrior, moved with it, and performed martial arts with it.
This warrior was very resistant to thunder, and even if the thunderbolt hit him, he would not die.
But, it hurt so much!
Mu Yuan didn’t have a choice; he mechanically followed the rhythm for practice. He never thought that he would escape a disaster in the Secret Realm of Challenge, but started a ride on the roller coaster of desire here.
However, as the practice went on, his mind gradually calmed down, fully immersed in it, only hearing the “boom~snap~boom~” sounds echoing in his ears.
After an unknown period, when Mu Yuan came to his senses, he was still sitting on the cushion. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked as if he had just been fished out from the water.
Very tired! But he also learned a lot!
Last few days his biggest weakness has always been insufficient battle experience and lack of skills—while his power and speed weren’t weaker than level 7 Skeleton Soldiers, if it came to real PVP—Mu Yuan was slightly less experienced.
Now it’s different, as if his muscles own memories of battle.
He stood up and quickly practiced a set of moves which were slightly rusty at first, but after a complete set, they became smooth. His spine was like a dragon, his arms swayed, his strength was stronger, the energy within his body also flowed with it, making a whip-like sound in the air.
Even, if he could release thunderbolts with a slap…
Uh, he wouldn’t be able to do that.
After all, Mu Yuan had merely absorbed the martial arts of the Thunderbolt Warrior and didn’t possess its core. He couldn’t manually create thunderbolts, but he had learned subtle skills like energy attachment, energy compression, energy entanglement and so on.
He was no longer new to fighting, and his energy skills might even exceed Dead Bone’s.
He might be able to give some pointers to Dead Bone?
Nice!
Up next… Mu Yuan picked up the SSR Elixir of Life, paused a little.
“The probability of awakening a new talent isn’t 100%, but it doesn’t seem to be low either. I should not be that unlucky, right?”
Now having come this far and the incense already burned, he couldn’t be hesitant any longer. He swallowed the Elixir of Life in one gulp.
The milky-white liquid slid directly into his throat, and in a blink of an eye, was dispersed into countless pure life energy and flowed into every corner of his body.
“It has the taste of water, with a little bit of sweetness.”
Mu Yuan thought.
The power of the Elixir in his body had started to burst forth, gently but steadily elevating his physical body.
His perception was gradually strengthening, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly outline the surrounding scene.
His body, spirit, and energy were continuing to rise.
He guessed his lifespan had been extended too.
At this moment, Mu Yuan’s thoughts were extremely clear, as if his spirit had been elevated and was overlooking his physical body.
“I have looked up other awakening treasures. The description states that if new talents can’t be awakened, its effect can significantly enhance certain features of the user, such as vision, hearing or strength.”
“And me…”
“I don’t seem to have any significantly enhanced features, but I also haven’t seemed to awaken a new talent, wait!”
As he examined himself, his spiritual power seemed extraordinarily impressive.
His spirit felt like a chain, highly condensed and extending outside his body, giving birth to various wonders. His instinct told him that he could use this to link himself with other individuals, achieving long-distance communication and information sharing.
This talent, if he’s not mistaken, is…
“Spiritual Link!”
