Chapter 222: Speculation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a simple restriction in the treasure vault, the effect of which was to send an alert to Li De when attacked by outsiders.
Now that Li De was dead, this thing was naturally useless.
After casually breaking the restriction, Lu Ming brought Roda, Roxin, and Quan Chao into the house and saw a dazzling array of objects inside.
The house was relatively spacious, with about a dozen wooden shelves neatly arranged.
On the wooden shelves were various items, including materials for spiritual treasures, ancient weapons, and Source Power Skill Sealing Balls.
Lu Ming only recognized the Source Power Sealing Balls, and for other things, they were unfamiliar and he had no idea what they were or their value.
“This is the Spirit Calling Grass, the main ingredient for making Spirit Creek elixirs.”
Standing in front of a pale blue grass, Lu Ming was puzzled, and Roxin’s voice came from beside him.
He turned to look at Luo Xin and saw her smile shyly.
Roda’s voice sounded in his ears again.
“My sister may not have extraordinary talent, and her determination may not be enough, but she’s the best at reading books in her spare time. She can recognize many source power skills and spirit treasure materials at a glance.”
With that said, Roda added, “Why not let my sister show ATr. Lu around this treasure vault?”
The appearance of the Aeonians and humans was very similar, and their aesthetic standards were probably not far off and there should be no reproductive isolation.
Roxin’s looks and figure were top-notch. Although Lu Ming’s facial features were ordinary, his physique was excellent. More importantly, his strength was outrageously strong!
If they were to pair up…
Roda’s thoughts were clear to everyone.
But as a captive, he could not say anything.
Lu Ming did not care about Roda and Roxin’s thoughts. He had seen such things many times before.
All he could say was that when a man excelled, women would flock to him.
Chase after them? I’m sorry, I don’t even want those who took the initiative! Women will only slow down my attribute farming speed!
He nodded slightly,”Alright, then. I’ll have to trouble Roxin.”
“This is Flame Iron, the main material for refining Spirit Realm weapons. Weapons refined from Flame Iron can enhance the power of flame-type Source Power Skill. The armor refined from it is extremely resistant to flame-type attacks.”
“This is the Ice Spirit Bead, no need for refinement. Just by wearing it, it can calm the mind and improve concentration. It’s very helpful for cultivating Source Power Skills.”
“This is Body Forging Ointment. The crafting technique has been lost. By applying it, it can stimulate the body’s potential and strengthen the physique, allowing Mortal Realm superhumans to quickly reach the Physique Realm. However, it has no effect on those above the Physique Realm.”
Roxin was indeed knowledgeable.
There were indeed a lot of miscellaneous items in the treasure vault.
During this time, Lu Ming found some things that he could not use, but Chengcheng, Wei Lan and the others could use—for example, Body Forging Ointment, which he planned to bring back to the Southern Mountain.
As for the rest, they were not of much use to Lu Ming.
The key was still the Source Power Skills.
Lu Ming currently had a significant gap in Source Power Skills.
Roxin seemed to have a way of identifying what Source Power Skill was sealed inside the sealing balls.
She picked up a Source Power Skill Sealing Ball and closed her eyes to sense for a long time before saying,
“Physical Realm Source Power Skill, Thunder Technique, a Source Power Skill that combines movement and attack into one Source Power Skill, the remaining cultivation attempts, once.”
“Physique Realm Source Power Skill, Flame Body Forging Technique, the remaining of cultivation attempts, twice.”
“Spirit Realm Source Power Skill, Fire Sacrifice Sword, remaining cultivation attempts: three.”
This saved Lu Ming a lot of effort.
After some thought, Lu Ming interrupted Roxin’s appraisal and said, “1 need all the Source Power Skills above the Physique Realm. The focus is on Fist techniques, Sword techniques, Body Protection Spell, Body Forging techniques, and Breathing techniques.”
Fist techniques and sword techniques were Lu Ming’s main means of attacks. The Body Protection Spell focused on defense, and the Body Forging technique was for farming attributes.
The Breathing technique had to be upgraded too. The speed at which the Basic Breathing Technique advanced was too slow—even for Lu Ming.
Through his battle with Li De, Lu Ming also gained some insights.
While level and physical strength were important, the impact of Source Power Skills on combat could not be underestimated.
In fact, there was no significant difference in physical strength between Lu Ming and Li De – Li De was slightly stronger, but not by much.
The reason why Lu Ming could beat Li De lay in the strength of their Source Power Skills.
When Roxin heard this, she immediately nodded, “1’11 help Brother Lu find it.”
After waiting for about three hours, Roxin came to Lu Ming with a large pile of source power sealing balls.
“These are what you want, Brother Lu.”
With that said, Roxin also pointed to the notes attached to the Source Power Sealing Balls, “These are instructions 1 made, I hope they can help Brother Lu.” She smiled sweetly, and Lu Ming smiled back.
“Thank you.”
Then he picked up the Source Power Skill Sealing Balls and looked at them one by one.
Soon, Lu Ming had scanned through them roughly.
Putting down the Source Power Skill Sealing Balls, Lu Ming took a deep breath and revealed a happy expression.
“I’ve made a killing this time!”
Source Power Skills and Dao Protection Techniques.
The importance of this thing was self-evident!
Compared to treasures, elixirs, weapons, and other external objects, the Source Power Skills were genuinely one’s own power. Superhumans who pursued a little bit usually looked down on external objects and focused on levels and Source Power Skills.
Therefore, correspondingly, Source Power Skills were also the primary target of explorers when exploring ruins – with a priority higher than that of spiritual objects, medicine, and weapons.
The big focus in this treasure vault was also the Source Power Skill Sealing Balls.
The number of Source Power Sealing Balls could be imagined.
After Roxin identified them, more than half of the Source Power Skills in the treasure vault were moved to Lu Ming—there were more than a thousand in total!
Moreover, these more than 1,000 Source Power Skill Sealing Balls all met Lu Ming’s requirements!
It should be noted that Lu Ming’s requirements were quite broad… He wanted all other Source Power Skills except for the Mortal Realm Source Power Skills, which were not worth being included in this treasure vault.
After another screening, Lu Ming nodded gently.
“I shouldn’t have to worry about Source Power Skills for the time being…”
The Source Power Skills placed in front of Lu Ming included 896 Physique Realm, 125 Spirit Realm, 34. Source Realm, and 1 Ancient Realm!
Body Protection techniques, Body Forging techniques, and Breathing techniques occupied one-third of it. The remaining two-thirds were mostly Fist techniques and Sword techniques.
There was also a small portion of special function secret techniques.
Without a doubt, with so many Source Power Skills, Lu Ming could not possibly practice them all.
He could only choose the best ones.
Leaning against the small mountain of Source Power Sealing Balls, Lu Ming slowly closed his eyes and considered carefully.
“I’ve advanced from the Mortal realm to the Physique Realm, and the system has undergone an upgrade.”
“After that upgrade, my personal data was compressed, and 1 could no longer gain attribute points from Mortal Realm Source Power Skills.”
“However, the Physique Realm Source Power Skills I previously mastered were not affected. But the attribute points obtained after the upgrade will definitely undergo changes.”
This change was trending towards an increase.
This also meant that Lu Ming obtained more attributes when cultivating a Physique Realm Source Power Skill at the Physique Realm than when he cultivated a Physique Realm Source Power Skill at the Mortal Realm.
“So, can I judge the situation this way?”
“The system wants me to cultivate the corresponding level of Source Power Skill at a certain stage..”
