Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Awakening Potion
Li Yao shook his head and said, “I have heard a lot about you, Senior, and indeed, I do not have that much money. Therefore, I am only purchasing some standard goods.”
The tree demon expressed interest and said, “You know about the standard goods, indicating that you really have heard about my shop. Alright, what would you like to buy?”
“I would like to buy Illusion Fog Scrolls and Spirit Disturbance Scrolls,” Li Yao said.
“So you are interested in these little things. The Illusion Fog Scroll each costs 10 silver coins, and the Spirit Disturbance Scroll is also 10 silver coins. They are sold in minimum bundles of five,” the tree demon said in a jovial tone.
Each bundle contains two hundred, five bundles amount to a thousand. This means a minimum transaction of a hundred gold coins for each kind. Anyone other than Li Yao might be scared off by this amount. At this point, who among the players could come up with so much money all at once?
Li Yao, of course, knew the rules here and replied, “Then give me a thousand Illusion Fog Scrolls and three thousand Spirit Disturbance Scrolls.”
“Young man, you certainly spend lavishly. Please wait,” the tree demon said, her eyes lighting up. Although she had a lot of good stuff around her, it was actually these standard items that earned her money. Those rare and valuable things might not even sell once in one or two years.
“Thank you,” Li Yao handed over three hundred gold coins and also received the scrolls.
Fog Scroll: When released, it creates a delusive fog within a range of 1000*1000 square yards, reducing the visibility of everyone, including its caster, for 30 minutes.
This scroll has no offensive power at all, and the caster’s own vision will be affected as well. Everyone within the fog’s range is virtually blind.
Spirit Disturbance Scroll: The released scroll can cause the minds of all the monsters within its range to go haywire, making them attack each other. The scroll covers a 40*40 area and causes confusion for 5 minutes. The higher the intelligence, the shorter the influence. (Super intelligent beings are influenced for no more than 10 seconds)
The second kind of scroll is Li Yao’s reserve for the guild. It appears expensive but can have extraordinary effects in the right situation.
Moreover, Li Yao wanted to establish his own outpost, and in his plan, these scrolls were indispensable.
“System: You’re the first player to set foot in the Tree Demon Shop. The Tree Demon Boss has a good impression of you, and both parties are in a friendly state.”
“System: As a rookie, your generosity has caught the Tree Demon Boss’s curiosity. She’s using a spirit probe on you.”
If Li Yao were a true Ancient Elf player, he would be overjoyed to receive such a prompt because as his favorability increases, he could enjoy discounts in the shop.
However, he isn’t. He’s just pretending and the tree demon has the ability to see through illusions. Li Yao wanted to leave immediately and said, “I hope to have the opportunity to buy your goods next time.”
The Tree Demon Boss showed a slight smile and casually tossed a colorful potion to Li Yao, “You’re the first customer to find this place on your own. Let this be a small welcome gift. With this, you’ll definitely have the opportunity to come and find me again.”
“Thank you, thank you,” Li Yao caught the potion and hurriedly left the shop.
The Tree Demon Boss, on the other hand, let out a light laugh.
Li Yao immediately jumped down and quickly left the Tree Demon Shop.
Only when he reached the cover of the magic lamp did Li Yao let out a sigh of relief. He carefully took out the potion.
Tree Demon’s Gift · Awakening Potion
Quality: Purple Epic
Awakens the potential or talent hidden in the bloodline, the effect varies according to individual bloodlines.
Requirement: Level 10 and above
Seeing this potion, Li Yao looked back at the distant candlelight and suddenly realized something – the tree demon had already seen his true identity.
This potion was neither too precious nor too common, but obtaining it was not so easy.
Some special elite professions needed this potion to unlock the hidden power of their bloodline. The most typical examples are the Giant War and the Mountain War. If one wants to become a Giant Warrior, one must have a human bloodline. To be a Mountain Warrior, one must have a dwarf bloodline. The hidden bloodline powers could be released through stimulation and awakening.
Without any hesitation, Li Yao swallowed the potion.
“System: You have consumed an Awakening Potion. The hidden bloodline power within you begins to activate, and you can feel a new power flowing in your blood.”
“System: The ancient elf blood within you begins to revive.”
“System: You have gained a new form, Ancient Elf.”
“System: Seed Talent, Child of Night, awakens. The Child of Nature can merge with the surrounding nature when standing still, making it hard to be detected. Race talent: Shadow Escape has been activated. Shadow Escape lets you enter the shadows, removing the combat status for 5 minutes. The state is lifted with movement, cooling time 5 minutes. Nature’s Gift: Nature resistance increased by 50 points.”
“System: You have gained dual race talents. The two bloodlines conflict and cannot function simultaneously. There can only be one active bloodline.”
“System: Bloodline status can be switched between High Elf/Ancient Elf.”
Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Not everyone could activate bloodline talents. Perhaps drinking the Awakening Potion only increases some attributes.
With the talent of an Ancient Elf, no one will be able to see through his illusion.
More importantly, the talent of an Ancient Elf fits best with being a Dark Ranger, the Arcane Torrent is of limited use to a Dark Ranger.
The Ancient Elf’s bloodline talent combined with the Dark Ranger’s passive abilities could make his stealth just as strong as an Elite rogue. Furthermore, the additional Shadow Escape is akin to a rogue’s disappearance, which is very useful.
“What a surprise. But why would the tree demon want to help me?”
In Ancient God, every NPC’s action is motivated. Li Yao couldn’t figure out why she would just give him a potion out of the blue.
As Li Yao neared the temple, he let go of his thoughts. The Twin Moon Lake is within the temple’s range. Li Yao could climb over the wall, but that would be nothing short of a death wish.
The temple’s forecourt has the Great Hall of the Priests of the Moon, where anyone can come to pray.
However, the rear courtyard is off-limits. Two Moon Guardians stopped Li Yao.
“Boy, only Moon Guardians and Priests of the Moon are allowed in here.”
Li Yao gave an elf bow and held up the blueprint of the Moon God’s temple, “I came across the blueprint of the temple. Surely it is a blessing from the Moon God. Therefore, I wish to build a temple in the territory, to express my respect for the Moon God. I brought the blueprint here to request a blessing from the Moon God.”
The two checked the blueprint and smiled, saying, “Truly, the Moon God blesses you. It has been many years since the last time a temple blueprint appeared. Follow me.”
“Thank you,” a smile appeared on Li Yao’s face as well. Based on his understanding of the Ancient God game, this is the easiest and safest way for him to enter the back area at this stage…
