Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 431 - 421: All Professions at Level 15, Quests

Chapter 431: Chapter 421: All Professions at Level 15, Quests

As Qin An finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

The Lord of the General Mansion looked at Qin An with a hint of amusement.

Qin An clasped his hands again and said, "Sir, there’s no need to speak in riddles. Please explain the situation directly."

As the saying goes, within seven steps, there must be an antidote.

Since the Lord of the General Mansion said so, there must be a solution.

Therefore, Qin An felt that there was still room for maneuver.

The Lord of the General Mansion withdrew his amused gaze and suddenly became serious: "Those above are divided into two groups; one doesn’t favor you, and the other naturally favors you. So if you want to survive in this desperate situation, you must demonstrate your strength in this upcoming decisive battle, so that the other faction starts paying attention to you."

"At that time, you will naturally receive support from above, securing your life without worry."

With these words, Qin An understood.

"I see. I understand now."

Currently, Xunyang Prefecture serves as a testing ground, with factions above divided into two.

One faction supports the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, while the other does not.

Qin An’s actions in Xunyang Prefecture have made him deeply despised by those who support it, who wish to eliminate him quickly.

Conversely, those who do not support it favor him greatly.

If he demonstrates his value, he will naturally receive support from the other side, seeking a glimmer of hope amidst this desperate situation.

The Lord of the General Mansion continued: "After some time, before the decisive battle begins, someone favorable to you will come from above. You need to communicate well with him, and by the way, show your value during this battle."

"Whether you win or lose, you must make him favor you enough to have a chance at survival."

"Of course, I will also speak some good words on your behalf since you promised me to stand with Jin Fengyu’s side, so naturally, I won’t leave you unassisted."

"This is also considered a transaction."

Qin An nodded and replied, "Thank you, sir."

The Lord of the General Mansion waved his sleeve and said, "You don’t need to thank me; everything is because you have the strength and potential. In any case, prepare well. If someone comes from above, I will inform you."

Qin An nodded, stood up, and said, "In that case, I shall take my leave."

The matter had been discussed thoroughly, and Qin An understood completely, thus he must seize the time to return and train his Pill Master and Array Master professions to level fifteen, thus ushering in a new round of transformation.

Once the two professions are fully transformed, he will also undertake several tasks to swiftly accumulate achievements, enhance his Scholar Profession, and reach the Great Success of Unity Realm.

Only then can he have greater confidence in this decisive battle.

The Lord of the General Mansion nodded and waved his sleeve, saying, "Alright, you may withdraw now."

He was well aware of Qin An’s various exploits, knowing that Qin An was not one to waste time, hence he didn’t detain Qin An.

Subsequently, Qin An left the room, his figure gradually blending into the darkness.

The Lord of the General Mansion stared at the empty room and the flickering flames, lost in thought.

No one knew what he was thinking, but if someone were in the room, they would surely sense the overwhelming pressure that made it hard to breathe.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

During this time, Xunyang Prefecture grew increasingly calm, as if all the demon-like Pseudo-Gods had been eradicated suddenly, not even stirring a breeze.

The Prefecture Generals of the Evil Extermination Bureau enjoyed rare leisure, but no one dared to relax.

For those familiar with the current situation know, it’s merely the calm before the storm.

During this time, Qin An found himself rarely idle.

Every day he diligently trained the proficiency of his Pill Master and Array Master professions.

Today, Qin An sat in his room, moving the teacup on the table.

As Qin An moved the teacup, it gradually rearranged its pattern.

If someone knowledgeable about arrays were present, they would discover that with each movement of the teacup, Qin An formed an extremely powerful array.

With casual movements, his skill had already surpassed the Profound Celestial Array Gate of Xunyang Prefecture, reaching the pinnacle of the arrays within the prefecture.

After a few more moves, the heaviness in Qin An’s eyes gradually faded.

With a casual wave, he disrupted the array on the table, making the teacup appear unremarkable, before looking up at the void.

In the void ahead, lines of text gradually began to condense, twisting like serpents.

In mere moments, the text became clear, transforming into the proficiency levels for the Pill Master and Array Master professions.

[Pill Master lv.15 (0/30000): Your success rate for crafting pills increases, the efficacy becomes purer, crafting time shortens, crafting precision improves, and crafting toxins reduce]

[Talent: Inner God Realm Fire Control Perfection, Inner God Realm Pill Material Reduction, Inner God Realm Herb Purification Perfection, Inner God Realm Heart Refining Method Perfection, Inner God Realm Pill Fusion Perfection]

...

[Array Master lv.15 (0/30000): Your array setup speed increases, array breaking speed accelerates, array materials reduce, array material purification enhances, array material strength advances]

[Talent: Inner God Realm Array Perfection, Inner God Realm Array Resistance Perfection, Inner God Realm Array Effect Enhancement, Inner God Realm Heart Array Perfection, Inner God Realm Array Fusion Perfection]

As the smoke appeared, it quickly dissipated.

Immediately, it transformed into a vast amount of information, entering Qin An’s mind.

With eyes closed, Qin An swiftly comprehended all the information in just a few breaths.

Then, Qin An’s eyes suddenly opened, a spark of brilliance flashing within.

"It’s done!"

The tedious monotony wasn’t bearable for anyone.

If Qin An hadn’t had something to aim for, even he might not have endured.

Fortunately, he persevered.

The mad monotony brought unimaginable rewards.

The Pill Master and Array Master successfully reached level fifteen.

First was the Pill Master profession, whose characteristics added the feature of reduced pill toxin during crafting.

The so-called Dan poison refers to the toxins that form in the body after consuming elixirs.

The effects of taking elixirs multiple times will diminish.

Until you’ve taken a large amount, the effects will reduce to zero, requiring a significant amount of time to refine the Dan poison before you can continue using elixirs.

With this characteristic, Qin An can consume more elixirs in the future, which can be considered a very powerful trait.

In addition, his talent has reached Inner God Realm Perfection, with an additional talent of Inner God Realm Elixir Fusion Method Perfection.

The so-called Elixir Fusion Method allows all effects of elixirs to be fused into one, greatly improving convenience and efficiency.

This talent is akin to a combat power boost for Qin An.

"If during future battles, a single elixir can simultaneously enhance attack, defense, body technique, and recovery, then my strength will correspondingly increase." Qin An’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.

He knew the Pill Master profession’s upgrade to level fifteen had brought unimaginable gains.

However, he wasn’t excited but instead looked towards his Array Master profession.

Upon reaching level fifteen, the Array Master profession gained a trait that enhances the strength of array-setting materials.

This is fundamentally different from material purification, which purifies the essence of the materials themselves, while strength enhancement boosts the overall strength of materials.

When setting up an array, the stronger the materials, the more durable the array, which essentially enhances Qin An’s strength in arrays.

In addition, all talents reached Inner God Realm Perfection, and there’s an additional Inner God Realm Array Fusion Method Perfection talent.

This talent matches that of the Pill Master talent, allowing Qin An to casually form arrays that encompass attack, defense, protection, and various effects.

Arrays can be applied not only to himself but also to others.

Whether in combat or other situations, they can have unexpected effects.

"Though neither profession can deduce Cultivation Techniques, they truly enhance my abilities," Qin An gathered his thoughts internally.

Now that all professions have reached the level fifteen tier, he should aim to enhance the Scholar Profession, quickly upgrading it to level sixteen, then deduce the Heart Method to Great Success of Unity Realm.

"But no need to rush now." Qin An pondered slightly, picking up the gold-patterned token at his waist.

Now, as a Mountain Patrol Golden General, he can accept tasks befitting his role.

Once upgraded, the Scholar Profession would necessitate Heart Method deduction.

To deduce the Heart Method requires numerous demon souls and a Heart Method of Unity Realm.

All of these require merit to exchange, but he has no merit now, so he must undertake several tasks.

With a thought, the token flashed with a light screen.

Immediately, numerous tasks gathered and floated before him.

However, upon seeing these tasks, Qin An’s brow furrowed tightly.

The tasks displayed on the screen were few and relatively trivial.

Rubbing his chin, he mused briefly, understanding the reason and thought, "With the decisive battle approaching, these folks choose to lay low, avoiding stirring trouble in Xunyang Prefecture. If so, my opportunities to earn merit decrease, which correspondingly slows my progress."

Thinking of this, Qin An tapped his finger on the table, his brow furrowing further.

He felt trapped in a cycle.

No tasks mean no merit.

No merit means no demon souls or Heart Method.

Even if he masters the profession skills, there’s no equivalent resource to advance the Heart Method’s level.

"This is indeed a dead end," Qin An contemplated briefly, then slowly stood up, heading outside.

Unable to crack the situation himself, he chose to leave it to someone who could.

In Xunyang Prefecture, none other than the General Mansion can break the impasse.

Having pledged support to Jin Fengyu, he stands with the General Mansion.

Facing difficulty, seeking their guidance is natural.

Recalling novels where protagonists don’t utilize their profound backgrounds and rely solely on themselves, he often found it foolish.

Now possessing extensive backing, even with the General Mansion covertly supporting him, not utilizing it would be wasting resources.

Soon, Qin An’s figure disappeared from the courtyard.

...

In the courtyard where the General Mansion resides.

At this moment, the Lord of the General Mansion was sipping tea, carefully reviewing recent matters concerning Xunyang Prefecture.

Busy as ever due to his duties, he remained within the courtyard upon returning.

Just then, footsteps resounded, interrupting his thoughts.

Looking up, he saw Qin An approaching, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Knowing Qin An’s personality, he wouldn’t visit without reason.

His presence indicated an important matter.

With this in mind, the Lord of the General Mansion set aside the documents, poured a cup of tea, and patiently awaited.

Qin An approached him, clasping his fists, "I pay my respects to the Lord of the General Mansion."

The Lord shook his head, "There’s no need for formality between us, have a seat."

Qin An took his seat opposite the Lord.

Sipping his tea, the Lord then asked, "You wouldn’t visit without a reason; tell me directly, what is the matter? Rest assured, if within my capabilities, it shall be done."

His optimism towards Qin An mirrored that of others.

Admiring this young talent, he was willing to extend his aid.

After a brief pause, organizing his thoughts, Qin An finally said, "Tasks are scarce now, and I lack merit. If I want to earn merit, could there be any alternative ways?"

He spoke directly, without concealment.

Upon hearing, the Lord showed a hint of enlightenment, then after a moment’s silence, nodded, "I do have a rather unique task here, if you’re interested in taking it."
