Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 855 - 562: Derivation Skill Level 5: New Changes!

"'Experience' breaks a hundred million."

Though Yan Chuan very much wanted to upgrade "Treasure Rock" first to see if the upgraded version could resolve the age-old issue of insufficient Spiritual traits.

But Yan Chuan suppressed such desires.

Reason told him: "Upgrade 'Derivation Skill' first!"

Sharpening the axe won't delay the cutting of firewood!

"Derivation Skill" should proceed first; whether or not it aids Yan Chuan in the subsequent research and development of True Skills, at the very least the upgraded "Derivation Skill" will surely add more task bars, enabling daily research of more Martial Arts to gain more Experience and more Spiritual traits, benefiting both the strengthening of Miracle Items in "Treasure Rock" and the upcoming upgrades to "Mutual Teaching and Learning" or "Treasure Rock."

"Derivation Skill!"

This is the indisputable choice.

["Derivation Skill" (Level Four): You can establish research tasks, gain inspiration, research Martial Arts, and complete tasks to earn 'Experience' and 'Spiritual.' You can choose to settle the task ahead of time, resulting in varying degrees of enlightenment based on the inspiration progress, where the finalized 'Martial Arts,' settled 'Experience,' and 'Spiritual' will be reduced to different extents depending on task completion level. You can gain corresponding inspiration from certain traces, items, or environments. Current number of tasks that can be created: 8.]

(To upgrade to the next level, consume 1E Experience.)

...

Yan Chuan hesitated not a bit, and went all in —

["Derivation Skill" (Level Five): You can establish research tasks, gain inspiration, research Martial Arts, and complete tasks to earn 'Experience' and 'Spiritual.' You can choose to settle the task ahead of time, resulting in varying degrees of enlightenment based on the inspiration progress, where the finalized 'Martial Arts,' settled 'Experience,' and 'Spiritual' will be reduced to different extents depending on task completion level. You can gain corresponding inspiration from certain traces, items, or environments. You can tailor Martial Arts for individuals based on their personal constitution, nature, and environment, achieving a high fitting degree. Current number of tasks that can be created: 10.]

(To upgrade to the next level, consume 10E Experience.)

...

As expected!

Just as Yan Chuan predicted, the upgraded Level Five "Derivation Skill" added two more task slots, thereby allowing Yan Chuan's daily creation of Martial Arts to amass Experience and Spiritual traits at a much higher rate, estimated to increase to approximately 2.4 million Spiritual and Experience a day —

"Twenty-seven days to upgrade a Seventh Grade Miracle Item, shortening by at least nine days compared to Level Four."

"Forty-one days to upgrade 'Mutual Teaching and Learning' or 'Treasure Rock,' compared to Level Four it shortens by at least half a month."

"Derivation Skill" going first doesn't disappoint expectations.

Compared to it, the new 'tailored' feature in Level Five "Derivation Skill" is also competent: "In the past, tailoring for people was based on my observation and Experience, only aligning with a few key points."

For instance, Ying Jifeng and "Soul Demolishing Demonic Palm" aligned purely on impression.

For instance, Jiang Bianliu and "Divine Light Scripture," this was a match of nature.

Also the "Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, Only I Am Venerated" with Tan Dou, which matched constitution and injuries.

Yan Chuan, through observation and reflection, could at most achieve one or two points of fitting but was hard to be comprehensive.

But this time.

The Level Five "Derivation Skill" makes 'tailoring' clear, just like Yan Chuan's previous cultivation technique research, inputting 'knowledge + inspiration' brings forth corresponding Absolute Skills.

Now 'tailored' involves inputting 'knowledge + personal information + inspiration,' allowing for greater compatibility with individuals.

Take Tan Dou, for instance.

Yan Chuan acquired the 'Black God Arm Guards,' owing the Magic Child a True Skill, and had been contemplating how to develop it during his free time; the design process is indeed the trickiest.

But now, "Derivation Skill" cancels out this step for Yan Chuan, bringing 'tailored' conversations to the surface.

"That's great!"

Yan Chuan was pleasantly surprised.

The Level Five "Derivation Skill" brings new changes beyond just benefiting Tan Dou exclusively, but also —

Tan Yunqing, Huang Wuniang, Jiang Bianliu, Chen Ze, Situ Fei, Wang Zhengyi, Ding Xiang, Ying Jifeng, Luo Qi, Lu Yuru, Shi Qingke, Peng Fannian, Ban Xianfu, Jing Bao, Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang, Fu Yunzhan, Wang Ge, and many others around Yan Chuan can benefit. Yan Chuan can tailor a True Skill for each of them, minimizing cultivation difficulty!

Level Five Derivation Skill!

Tailored!

"This is truly the genuine 'rise to the top on one's merit'!"

...

The first tailored task Yan Chuan made wasn't for Lu Yuru, nor Wang Zhengyi, nor Chen Ze, but for Tan Dou.

Yan Chuan valued his promises.

Having promised the Magic Child that he would tailor a True Skill for him, especially since the 'Black God Arm Guards' had been accepted, there's no reason to renege.

Previously, he suffered from a lack of ideas, but now things were simple; Yan Chuan already understood Tan Dou's situations comprehensively, including his physique and disposition.

The "Derivation Skill" is merely a tool, requiring Yan Chuan to prepare much more.

But now the formula application is simple —

[Task Three: "Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, Only I Am Venerated" (True Skill)]

...

The True Skill Yan Chuan tailor-made for Tan Dou retains the name "Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, Only I Am Venerated," but compared to the original Absolute Skill version, now it is a True Skill version, based entirely on Tan Dou himself, with the research centered constantly around Tan Dou, unbiased towards anything, ensuring the result is the most aligned True Skill for him.

Yan Chuan already eagerly anticipated Tan Dou cultivating the new skill.

...

Busy and bustling.

Time flies.

In a flash, five days have passed, and on September 6th, after Yan Chuan's martial arts lecture, he returned to Tan Valley Realm, bringing the 'North Mansion' and Lu Yuru along with the Demon Ape Avatar, exploding into 'Peak State' in succession; then, Sword Qi burst forth from his fingertips, opening the Returning Ruins.

Yan Chuan entered the Returning Ruins for the second time.

...

"Returning Ruins is vast."

"In truth, it's still attached beneath the surface layer of the Mountain and Sea Realm; within the Mountain and Sea Realm, two locations and two Returning Ruins entrances are adjacent, and within Returning Ruins, layers of chaos are similarly connected."

"In Tan Valley Realm, aside from me, only the Magic Child frequently ventures in and out of the Returning Ruins; but within the chaos, I may not only encounter Tan Dou but also possibly various Sixth Rank Divine Generals from Jinze Region."

According to the Wanxiang Pavilion's "Divine General List" published on April 1st this year, there are 9707 Divine Generals in Hunxi Territory alone, among which the Sixth Rank and above, including Sixth Rank Divine Generals, number precisely one hundred.

It may seem numerous.

However, this is nearly two hundred years of total accumulation.

After the disaster's aftermath and the appearance of the Returning Ruins, a hundred high-rank Divine Generals from Hunxi Territory may not all enter the Returning Ruins, but at least ninety percent will, as at least ninety percent of high-rank Divine Generals are from the Four Families and Three Sects, and Beast King City; the Returning Ruins within Hunxi Royal City won't intercept the local members, surely allowing them free passage. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

That's just Hunxi Territory.

"The Jinze Region has six King City Realms. If we use Hunxi Territory as a benchmark, with an average of one hundred high-rank Divine Generals per King City Realm, the total for six is six hundred."

Indeed numerous.

But considering being spread across vast Returning Ruins, even if they're on the same layer, it's still hard to meet, not to mention the multiple layers being different, so encountering other region's high-rank Divine Generals in Returning Ruins is unlikely.

However.

Unlikely doesn't mean impossible.

Yan Chuan had good luck, for he encountered —

...
