Online Game: Unlimited Buff Talent From The Beginning

176 The Heavens Are Unfair!

In the room, the smell of blood became stronger.

Lin Bei frowned.

“You’re here.”

An old voice slowly sounded. Immediately after, a figure appeared. He looked tired and had white hair.

“You are… Shopkeeper Jin?”

Lin Bei was stunned. He looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

This person had white hair and a wrinkled face. If not for the fact that he was chubby and his facial features looked familiar, Lin Bei would not have recognized him.

“Hehe, what a fuss.”

Shopkeeper Jin chuckled and sighed. “Sigh, I’m old and useless.”

“What’s wrong with you? And the smell of blood here. What happened?”

“Haha, it’s a small matter. A few ignorant fellows came and wanted to cause trouble. I’ve already destroyed them.”

Shopkeeper Jin said with a smile. His tone could not hide his fatigue. “However, you have to be more careful. The Abyss… seems to have already made a move. They came to me to threaten me, but I killed them all! You’re safe for the time being!”

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Jin!”

Lin Bei was touched and could not help but ask, “Those people… what realm are they at?”

“Haha, one Legend and seven or eight Extraordinary.”

Shopkeeper Jin raised his eyebrows and said proudly, “How is it? Am I powerful? Although I’m weak now, I’ve taken down all these people! They helped contribute a lot of life force! Speaking of which, I have to thank you, kid. If you hadn’t entered the Heaven Hunting Ranking this time, I might not have been able to gather so much life force so quickly. Take this. I promised to give you the Soul Crystal. Pass it to Alina. With this, she should be able to become stronger and even… break through to the Legendary stage!”

“This is the Soul Crystal?”

Lin Bei looked at the transparent crystal in his hand in a daze and could not help but ask, “They’re both Soul Crystals. What’s the difference between this Soul Crystal and the Soul Crystal obtained from decomposing equipment?”

“Haha, of course they’re different. The Soul Crystal obtained from decomposing equipment is a product condensed from energy. Speaking of which, it actually has nothing to do with souls. On the other hand, the Soul Crystal I gave you is a product condensed from souls.”

Shopkeeper Jin smiled and explained, “Generally speaking, only the Extraordinary have the ability to condense a Soul Crystal. The Soul Crystal I gave you is the Soul Crystal of the Legend I killed. That guy was not weak. To Alina, his Soul Crystal is extremely useful.”

“Alright, why are you asking so many questions? You must have encountered some trouble this time, right?”

“…There’s no such thing. I actually came to look for you this time to give you some life force.”

As Lin Bei spoke, he took out a storage bracelet.

Generally speaking, storage bracelets of the same quality could store several times more items than storage rings. Lin Bei had killed many Blood Demons in the past two days, so one storage ring could not hold their blood.

Jin Dadao took the storage bracelet and glanced at it. His eyes lit up and he laughed out loud. “Haha, good! Boy, I was right about you! Although the quality of the blood you collected in the past two days is not too high, this amount… is too much! Haha! You did well!”

“Master Jin, can this blood activate the Life Tree’s Seed?”

“No.”

Jin Dadao shook his head and said, “If you want to activate the Life Tree’s Seed, you have to have Extraordinary blood essence, and you need a lot of it. Although you have a lot of Blood Demon’s Blood, the quality is a little poor.”

“But it doesn’t matter. I’ll give this Soul Crystal to you. After all, I got a lot of benefits this time. I’ll just give you a Legendary Soul Crystal. I can also do Alina a favor. It’s not a loss.”

“Besides, look at me.”

As he spoke, Jin Dadao smiled and crushed his storage bracelet. Countless blood energy was absorbed by him and poured into his body.

In an instant, Jin Dadao became covered in blood.

Lin Bei’s Eye of Stars stared at the Golden Road. He could sense that the other party’s dispirited aura was becoming stronger!

His aging skin regained its vitality.

His white hair turned black and his aura became stronger!

“This is…?!”

Lin Bei stared at Jin Dadao and activated his Eye of Stars with all his might. He did not dare to let go of any clues.

Your Dao of Devouring has evolved!

You have obtained an ability—Devour: Life Return!

Devour: Life Return — Devour life force to recover your own life force.

“Damn, I learned a new skill?”

Lin Bei was suddenly stunned.

Previously, he was still wondering why the Star Swordsman only had talent and no skills after advancing.

From the looks of it, it was not that the Star Swordsman did not have any exclusive skills, but that he needed to comprehend the skills himself?

And the auxiliary method was the Eye of Stars?

Lin Bei fell into deep thought.

“Haha, how is it? Are you shocked by my methods?”

Jin Dadao’s face was filled with joy. His energy was much better than when Lin Bei first met him. “This ability is called Life Return. It can absorb and use the life force in the blood. Not only can it replenish and strengthen oneself, but it can also be used to strengthen others. It’s very powerful, right? Let me tell you, this ability was obtained by me with the Life Seed. For that, I almost died!”

“Let’s put it this way. In the entire Bright World, there are less than ten people who know Life Return! How about it? Am I powerful?”

“Uh… Impressive!”

“Haha, do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

“Well… Let’s forget about it?”

Lin Bei said awkwardly.

“Hmph, are you an idiot? You don’t even want the benefits I gave you? Do you know that this Life Return method is something that countless people dream of! You actually despise it?”

...

Jin Dadao said unhappily.

If he was not in a good mood and did not like Lin Bei, he would not have taught him these.

However, it was strange. When he saw Lin Bei again, he had an illusion that this kid… Why did he look more and more adorable?

Strange, when did this kid become so charming?

He even suspected that Lin Bei had cultivated some charm technique.

“Um… Master Jin, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve actually… learned your Life Return Technique.”

Lin Bei was helpless and could only explain kindly.

“What? You learned it? Bulls*it! Let me tell you, in order to obtain this ability, I lost half my life back then. Kid, you learned it? When did you learn it? Let me take a look?”

Jin Dadao said with a look of disbelief.

Damn it, if you don’t want to learn, just say it. Lying is not good.

“Um… just now, when you used Life Return, I learned it. If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you now.”

...

As he spoke, Lin Bei took out a drop of King’s Blood and used the Devour: Life Return to absorb the life force inside.

A wisp of vitality appeared in his body, but his attributes did not change at all.

It seemed that he was just making his cells more energetic.

“Damn! You brat…”

Jin Dadao watched as Lin Bei skillfully used Life Return to absorb the life force in the blood and went numb.

Damn, he really knew how to do it?

Damn it, what did he say just now? I demonstrated it once, and he took a look and learned it?

Jin Dadao almost vomited blood.

Do you know how much I paid to obtain this ability?

You actually learned it with just one look?

God, how unfair!

“Master Jin, look, I’m not lying to you, right?”

After Lin Bei used Life Return, he smiled and looked at Jin Dadao.

Jin Dadao rolled his eyes. The smile on Lin Bei’s face was really asking for a beating!

In his eyes, it was as if he was really provoking him!

Damn!

This kid!

“Get lost! If there’s nothing else, don’t disturb me!”

Jin Dadao’s good mood immediately dissipated.

“Don’t, Master Jin. I still have something to ask you!”

As Lin Bei spoke, he took out the True-Extraordinary weapon that he had gained from killing the Temple Rebel Lekal and placed it on the counter. He asked, “Master Jin, I was lucky and got an Extraordinary weapon, the Heaven-Breaking Spear. Take a look and see who I can find to appraise the equipment. Ahem, that… I’m weak and have something good in my hands. I’m afraid I’ll be tricked. Do you understand?”

“What! Extraordinary equipment?”

Jin Dadao stared straight at the golden spear on the counter and immediately felt his mouth go dry.

“Kid, you…”

Jin Dadao looked at Lin Bei and hesitated.

“Master Jin, do you know who can appraise Extraordinary equipment and it’s relatively safe?”

Lin Bei asked seriously.

The Appraisal Scroll could no longer appraise Extraordinary-grade equipment, which made him very vexed.

This was because he knew very well the principle that having something too valuable might get him robbed and killed. In the entire Heavenly Might Server, there were definitely many existences who could appraise Extraordinary-grade equipment. However, the key was… Which existence with this ability was not a powerful existence? If they were tempted by wealth and secretly attacked him, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, Lin Bei was very troubled.

“This… Ahem, actually, I can appraise it.”

Jin Dadao coughed and touched his nose.

“You can?”

Lin Bei was dumbfounded.

What a coincidence?

“Why? Is this very strange? Although I’m an array master, my innate ability… is actually related to treasures.”

Jin Dadao said unhappily, “The few blessings I gave you previously relied on my innate ability!”

“I see.”

Lin Bei nodded and said, “Since Master Jin can help appraise it, that’s great! I’ll count on you in the future!”

“Stop! I’m not done talking!”

Jin Dadao hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Although I can appraise Extraordinary Equipment, my ability is a little special. Every time I appraise an equipment, I will extract a trace of the power of the equipment to strengthen myself. Therefore, the quality of the equipment I appraise is only 99% of its power. If you want to recover, unless you use Extraordinary Spirit Essences, this damage can’t be repaired!”

“By the way, you might not know what Extraordinary Spirit Essence is. Let’s put it this way. You can obtain Extraordinary Spirit Essence by decomposing Extraordinary equipment. If you want to repair the equipment, you need an Extraordinary Spirit Essence!”

“In other words, if you appraise equipment from me, you can only get one Extraordinary item by paying two. It’s still a loss.”

Jin Dadao said in a low voice, “Of course, you can choose not to use Extraordinary Spirit Essence to repair the equipment, but this way, the attributes of the equipment will be affected.”

“In short, it’s not worth it for me to appraise these equipment!”

Lin Bei was stunned.

Extraordinary Spirit Essence?

I have that.
