Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 427 - 417: Dancer Healer 15

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into a dead silence, becoming like a realm of death.

Not only did the black-robed Pseudo-God fall silent, but even the Floor Master became speechless.

Situ Shen took in the sight of both of them, and said faintly, "I told you, if it wasn’t a major issue, I wouldn’t trouble you two, but now it seems this matter is bigger than you imagined, especially since it involves the current foremost figure of Xunyang Prefecture, someone who can walk out of Xunyang Prefecture with the authority of the General Mansion, not a small character."

The deathly silence continued to spread.

Finally, the Floor Master spoke.

However, when he did, his voice trembled incessantly.

"You said... the General Mansion is returning, then all the things we’ve done, if he discovers, he’ll definitely purge us with thunderous force, no, this can’t happen! It’s not allowed!"

In the end, the Floor Master was already incoherent, seemingly overwhelmed by the fear within.

Situ Shen observed the disgraceful state of the Floor Master, a sneer on his lips without saying a word.

He certainly understood why the Floor Master was so shaken.

The General Mansion is indeed the current foremost figure of Xunyang Prefecture, having climbed from a minor Prefecture General all the way to this position.

Regardless of strength or skill, capable of making all the monstrous Pseudo-God powers in Xunyang Prefecture cower in fear.

He recalled, when the Floor Master first came to Xunyang Prefecture, he even provoked the General Mansion.

The General Mansion seriously injured him with one strike.

If not for the Vermilion Bird Race’s life-saving method, akin to the phoenix’s rebirth, he would have likely died at the hands of the General Mansion and wouldn’t have achieved today’s position.

Thus the Floor Master’s fear seemed entirely rational to Situ Shen.

The black-robed Pseudo-God suddenly spoke, "Calm down."

Just two simple words, yet the sound waves visibly enveloped the entire cave mansion.

The Floor Master, who had nearly lost his mind, instantly calmed down upon hearing this voice.

His forehead glistening with sweat, dripping onto the ground from his beak, still seemingly unaware.

"This plan might not work, if that guy returns, he definitely won’t spare us!"

Just as Situ Shen said, the Floor Master’s fear of the General Mansion was already deeply rooted within.

That man could seriously injure him with one strike, with unfathomable and terrifying strength.

The black-robed Pseudo-God said calmly, "I know what you’re worried about, but your concerns are insignificant."

Upon hearing this, the Floor Master showed a dazed expression, seemingly unable to react.

The black-robed Pseudo-God continued, "You must understand, understand that all I’ve done has been authorized by above, and you know what ’above’ refers to, even the General Mansion cannot defy the opinions from above."

The Floor Master regained his senses, part of the fear on his face subsided: "If, as according to the sir, indeed it’s insignificant."

Though he said this, the Floor Master still harbored some worry.

Situ Shen suddenly said, "Instead of worrying about the General Mansion’s return and settling scores, why not consider what he is truly returning for? When he left Xunyang Prefecture to go above, it was to discuss his appointment. Now that he’s returning, there are only two possibilities."

The Floor Master asked, "What are the two possibilities?"

The black-robed Pseudo-God remained silent, waiting for Situ Shen to continue.

Situ Shen pondered for a moment, then expressed his thoughts, "Firstly, he’s returning to pack up and leave Xunyang Prefecture for the upper position."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed Pseudo-God shook his head, "This is unlikely, he’s not returning to pack up, especially at this time, it’s definitely not so simple."

Situ Shen nodded, "Indeed, then the only remaining possibility is that he is returning to preside over this plan."

The black-robed Pseudo-God frowned, "What do you mean by preside over this plan?"

Situ Shen shook his head, "I’m not entirely sure, we’ll have to wait for the General Mansion to return before we know. The reason I called you two here was merely to inform you of this news, beyond that I haven’t much information."

Having spoken, everything that needed to be said was clearly elucidated.

Situ Shen no longer spoke, merely taking a sip of the clear tea beside him.

The black-robed Pseudo-God fell into silence.

The Floor Master glanced around, then looked down at his feet, not saying a word.

He was somewhat afraid, even though the black-robed Pseudo-God explained the situation, he couldn’t suppress the fear in his heart.

At this moment, the black-robed Pseudo-God finally spoke again.

"No matter what he returns for, remember one thing, our plan is supported by above, even if he returns, we need not fear."

"That’s the only way." Situ Shen sighed, "Hopefully there won’t be any anomalies."

With that, the three ceased speaking, and the scene fell into dead silence.

...

During this period, Xunyang Prefecture remained exceptionally calm as always.

The people lived peacefully, without disturbances from monstrous Pseudo-Gods, as if living in a dream.

Many even doubted, feeling like they were dreaming.

However, only those who know the truth understand that this calm environment brings unimaginable danger.

Like the deep sea, sinister currents reside in its depths.

The Evil Extermination Bureau grew increasingly serious.

Whether Prefecture General or Mountain Patrol General, all searched tirelessly for clues of such anomalies.

Yet unfortunately, even after exhaustive searches, no results surfaced.

Within the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Qin An held two volumes of books, sitting outside in the courtyard.

He chose not to return indoors because the sunlight was perfect, casting through the clouds, creating a lazy ambiance.

Before him, the mist swirled, eventually forming two lines of text, floating mid-air.

[Doctor lv.15 (0/30000): Your treatment effects improve, reducing treatment time, enhancing medicine effectiveness, increasing precision in medication, enhancing medicinal essence]

[Talent: Inner God Realm Medicine Technique Perfection, Inner God Realm Poison Resistance Perfection, Inner God Realm Medication Perfection, Inner God Realm Poison Usage Perfection, Inner God Realm Medicinal Enhancement Perfection]

...

[Dancer lv.15 (0/30000): Your dances are more graceful, able to enchant minds, boost morale, weaken morale, increase others’ combat power]

[Talent: Inner God Realm Body Technique Talent Perfection, Inner God Realm Body Technique Insight Perfection, Inner God Realm Body Control Enhancement, Inner God Realm Body Technique Amplification Perfection, Inner God Realm Body Technique Insight Perfection]

The mist dissipated abruptly, transforming into a wealth of information, penetrating Qin An’s mind.

Qin An spent just a few breaths to completely master the two level fifteen professions.

"Finally finished." Qin An sighed deeply.

Only he knew how torturous the monotony of this period truly was.

Fortunately, effort always yields rewards.

The talent at level fifteen brought unimaginable augmentation.

First was the Healer profession, which gained a new trait for enhancing the essence of medicines.

Unlike enhancing the effect of the medicine, enhancing the essence allows Qin An to purify the medicinal ingredients before they are used, thus optimizing their effects.

Coupled with the trait of enhancing the effects of medicines, it enables doing more with less effort.

Aside from the traits, all talents have reached Inner God Realm Perfection.

Not only that, but there’s also an additional talent of Inner God Realm Medicine Augmentation Perfection.

This talent is intriguing.

If Qin An uses medicinal ingredients for alchemy, after consuming the pills, he can achieve better effects than others.

Though seemingly simple, during life-and-death crises, Qin An’s use of pills for support can be a game-changer.

Next is the Dancer profession.

Upon reaching level fifteen, a new trait was added to enhance others’ battle strength.

When Qin An dances, he just needs a thought to empower his allies with enhanced battle strength.

Besides this trait, all other talents have also advanced to Inner God Realm Perfection, with an additional talent of Inner God Realm Body Technique Insight Perfection.

This talent allows precise insight into others’ body techniques, identifying weaknesses.

In practical combat, it holds a crucial position.

After mastering these two, Qin An slightly calmed his mind, looking at the two Cultivation Techniques on the stone table.

After returning, he used his achievements against inner demons to exchange for two Cultivation Techniques and three monster souls.

Adding the three he already had, he now possesses a total of six monster souls.

According to Qin An’s previous deduction, to cultivate body technique and body protection technique to Unity Realm requires at least two monster souls.

He happens to have enough, with even four souls to spare.

Thinking of this, Qin An doesn’t hesitate, grabbing the body protection Cultivation Technique first.

This Cultivation Technique is called Shadow Shield, an art of dark attribute protection.

When performed, True Essence transforms into dark attribute, forming circular shields at his side.

The shields are extremely sturdy, and even carry a corrosive force.

If the opponent attacks fiercely, not only will they fail to break through, they will also be countered by the corrosive force.

For Qin An, this is exactly what he needs.

Without further thought, Qin An starts reading through it.

After reading, he immediately follows the Shadow Shield Cultivation Technique route to mobilize his Body True Essence.

Then, Qin An raises his left hand, pointing into the air.

In the next moment, a black shield materializes mid-air.

As soon as Qin An wills it, the black shield immediately spreads out, enveloping the surroundings, making him look like an impregnable fortress of darkness.

After Qin An completes this process, smoke reappears before his eyes, coalescing into new text.

[You have cultivated Shadow Shield, activating the corresponding talent]

[Shadow Shield (Perfection)]

In an instant, the smoke disperses again, turning into information that pours into Qin An’s mind.

Within a moment, Qin An comprehends all the aspects of the Shadow Shield.

However, this isn’t Qin An’s limit.

Qin An then activates the Seven Stars Dharma.

In the next instant, a semi-transparent Dharma emerges around Qin An, enveloping everything.

The terrifying Dharma Power brings extreme defense.

As the Dharma forms, the text twists and overlaps again.

[You possess Shadow Shield and Seven Stars Dharma, intending to merge them, but the lack of talent causes the fusion to fail]

[Amidst internal and external troubles, you know well that without sufficient strength, your life is at risk, hence you plan to burn your blood and qi]

[After burning a large amount of blood and qi, a glimmer of inspiration arises in your mind, yet it isn’t sufficient to merge the two]

[Unwilling to give up, you sit in silent meditation for years, burning a large amount of blood and qi again]

[This time, the inspiration gradually expands, and you finally have an epiphany]

"Boom!"

A loud rumble echoes.

The smoke disperses, reforming into text.

[Eight Extremes Dharma (Initiated)]

In the next moment, vast amounts of information flood into Qin An’s mind like a tide.

In just a few breaths, Qin An thoroughly comprehends the Eight Extremes Dharma.

Having attained Unity Realm Initiation, and promoted to Eight Extremes Dharma, this Cultivation Technique’s defense has reached an unprecedented level.

Not only does it possess the power of Eight-Colored True Essence, it even incorporates the corrosive effect of Shadow Shield.

With a thought, Qin An summons a kaleidoscopic Dharma around him.

The vibrant colors meld to form an ink-black Dharma resembling a shadow.

Within the ink-black Dharma, the eight types of True Essence intertwine continuously.

If bystanders were present, a chilling cold would seep into their bones, compelling them to shiver involuntarily. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Qin An waves his sleeve, making the Eight Extremes Dharma disappear entirely.

Then, he picks up the second Cultivation Technique.

"Next is the Body Technique. I still have five monster souls left, and using one more is enough to lay the foundation for the Eight Extremes Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand."

With this thought, Qin An flips open the book.

The pages reveal four characters: Shadow Demon Clone.
