Chapter 873

The quest was actually... not as difficult as he had imagined!

"This Ascension Drop, even if incomplete, is a lower-tier ancient potion; the effect is indeed extraordinary."

"It even made the job change quest to promote to an honored one much simpler!" Su Ming couldn't help but laugh.

As a ninth-turn profession, the quest for every job change for a Sword God was far more difficult than other professions by several times.

But this time, he only needed to slay an elite monster of the same realm!

If it were someone else, they might still feel it was a bit difficult and need to team up to challenge it.

But Su Ming had the Origin Sword Body; soloing was absolutely no problem!

He was overjoyed and began to check the job change quest for the Sinful Sword Enthusiast.

【Sinful Sword Enthusiast sixth-turn quest generated!】

【Quest: Obtain 10,000 points of sin.】

【Optional job changes: Sinful Sword Venerable, Pure Sword Forging Venerable, Soul-Melting Forging Venerable...】

The sixth-turn options for the Sinful Sword Enthusiast were also very numerous.

Su Ming checked his sin and found that there wasn't much left.

"After the guild war, I consumed all my sin and condensed it into flying swords using the Sin-Forging Sword Art to fight the sixth-turn."

"It's a pity; otherwise, I should have been able to complete the quest now."

Su Ming was not annoyed.

The stronger the creature killed, the more sin obtained.

In the Shushan dungeon, just hacking and slashing a few elite monsters should yield 10,000 sin.

"By the way, Ji Yao gave me a skill upgrade scroll."

"Might as well sublimate it."

Su Ming took it out to check.

【Skill Advancement Scroll (Mid-tier Diamond)】

【After use, upgrade the quality of one of your selected skills; the highest grade cannot exceed mid-tier diamond.】

Upgrading a skill without limited requirements, only the highest quality was restricted.

This thing... was absolutely priceless!

The drop rate was too low; no matter how hard the countless billions of job changers on Blue Star tried, they couldn't brush out a few and could only rely on luck.

Moreover, even a sixth-turn scroll engraver could not replicate this thing because the structure was too complex and there were rule constraints.

If it could be mass-produced, those wealthy job changers would have long since used this to upgrade skills infinitely.

"Ji Yao actually gave me such a precious gift..." warmth surged in Su Ming's heart.

He directly performed sublimation.

【Sublimation successful!】

The next instant, the color of the skill scroll changed, becoming a purple stone scroll, looking crystal clear.

Su Ming checked it.

【Fusion Heavenly Move Scroll (Lower-tier Ancient)】

【Two styles merge without a seam, watertight as if naturally formed.】

【After use, fuse your two selected skills; they will definitely undergo mutation and evolution.】

【The highest quality after evolution cannot exceed lower-tier ancient.】

Su Ming's eyes were slightly dull.

"Wh... what!?"

"Lower-tier ancient!"

This sublimation, his luck was truly off the charts.

Su Ming's excited heart and trembling hands almost couldn't hold it steady.

"Ji Yao, oh Ji Yao, you truly gave me a divine object..."

He couldn't help but exclaim.

Mutation and evolution were more precious than ordinary skill advancement.

Because after mutation, skills often undergo huge changes.

Many affix effects would also disappear or change.

But after mutation, no matter how many changes there were or how many affixes were lost, it would only be stronger, not weaker!

Su Ming did not hesitate at all and immediately began to select skills.

After thinking for a long time.

Su Ming felt that 【Ancient Yin-Returning Yang Sword】 and 【Spirit-Sensing Yin-Yang Step】 were extremely compatible.

Because both were related to "Yin-Yang" and had connections to the Taoist Taiji Bagua.

Although one was a movement technique and the other was a footwork technique.

But Yin and Yang are connected; Su Ming believed that the result of the fusion would not disappoint him.

If he fused two completely unrelated skills, Su Ming felt that the effect would be very poor instead.

He was not a hesitant person; after making up his mind, he performed the fusion.

Suddenly, the lower-tier ancient skill scroll was fiercely crushed by him.

【Mutation and fusion evolution successful!】

【Obtained skill: Taiji Derivation Heart Art】

Suddenly, tips combining hardness and softness surged into his mind.

Su Ming mastered it instantly.

He checked the new skill.

【Taiji Derivation Heart Art (Lower-tier Ancient)】

【Proficiency: 30 million/100 million】

【The true method of the immortal is hard to remember; exhausting a lifetime to derive this art.】

【The wonderful method of four-nine transforms into a heart technique, capable of reversing all kinds of heaven and earth.】

【Heart failure poured into this, alas, the Taiji is too profound.】

【If heaven breaks my law, I hope you do not blame this derivation.】

"This skill introduction has such a long poem?" Su Ming was shocked.

"And it looks like the annotations of the creator of this skill."

He continued to read.

【In the ancient times, a great flood came, about to drown the people of a village. At this time, a mortal Confucian scholar saw with his own eyes a Taoist immortal strike, overturning the tide, like a god descending to earth, saving the common people.】

【The Confucian scholar kept this scene in his heart, pondered carefully, exhausted his life of a hundred years, and used up his heart's blood to write this Taiji Derivation Heart Art; as a mortal, he had done his best.】

【Although this move does not have the invincible power of the true Taiji secret method, it has five or six tenths of it.】

These skill secrets could only be seen by the Eye of Insight.

If it were anyone else, they would only be able to see the skill description.

"A mortal Confucian scholar, just by looking at it, could deduce a part of the Taiji secret method?"

"This is simply... a genius of the human race..."

"It's a pity he was just a mortal," Su Ming slowly shook his head and sighed, feeling some regret.
