Chapter 1308

This information……reading it is as good as not reading it.

Xiao Feng was about to shout that instance activation phrase, but heard the woodcutter say: "Young man, you helped me catch a pheasant, today's roasted chicken is yours!"

"Uh……sure, but uncle, I mainly came to accept the Place." Xiao Feng replied.

"Oh? You brat, not a Sword Cultivator, why go into the Place?" The woodcutter glanced at him, somewhat puzzled, leading the way down the mountain.

This woodcutter can handle a level 490 wild monster with one hand; his strength is definitely above the Lord God level, and likely much stronger.

Xiao Feng's disguise fooled players and ordinary NPCs, but not powerful high-level NPCs; obviously his profession was seen through at a glance.

He spoke frankly, explaining: "Mainly I heard the Place can yield some immortal crystals; I'm lacking those, so I want to give it a try."

The woodcutter laughed: "I knew it would be like that. If those old ghosts in the Place knew the most talented trial-taker in history didn't want to learn their skills, they might be so angry they'd come back to life, hahaha~"

Xiao Feng's heart stirred: "The most talented trial-taker……Uncle, are you talking about me?"

The woodcutter replied: "Yes, your true essence is pure beyond compare; unsurprisingly, you must have cultivated some extremely profound method. I've seen many people, cultivators and adventurers alike, but none match you. Although you're not a Sword Cultivator, if you switched to the Sword Cultivator path, your achievements would certainly be not low."

While speaking, the two had quickly descended to the mountainside.

Ahead was a small house built of wood, very simple, hidden in the forest; you couldn't see it unless you approached.

The woodcutter brought Xiao Feng to the wooden house, without putting down the firewood on his back, he directly plucked the feathers from the neck of the seven-colored pheasant spirit, then swung his firewood knife, instantly slit it open, and chicken blood sprayed everywhere.

Then he scalded it with boiling water, plucked and cleaned it, set it up, lit a fire, and began roasting.

Having a barbecue in these mountains……not fearing a fire disaster.

Xiao Feng followed the whole time, watching the woodcutter carry firewood and slaughter the chicken while they chatted.

If cultivation can make me stronger, I'd be glad; besides, my previous profession wasn't that strong.

Yo, you actually want to switch to another path? That's very rare among young talents; others basically stay firm and won't abandon their initial choice." The woodcutter said, somewhat surprised.

Xiao Feng gave a hehe laugh: "If they'd given me a Sword Immortal option at the start, no ghost would want to play magic; I had no choice."

You brat, you're pretty interesting!" The woodcutter laughed happily.

So……can the Place grant inheritance besides immortal crystals?" Xiao Feng asked him.

The woodcutter said: "That's natural. However, this depends on fate; I only said your talent is good, but which old ghost you're fated with is hard to say."

How can one know if there's fate? Also……what realm are those old ghosts you mentioned?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

Changing professions was just him speaking casually; in fact there's no such function, after becoming a god one's profession cannot be changed, the remaining path relies on oneself or accepting inheritance.

No matter what inheritance is accepted, the profession won't change; otherwise Xiao Feng's profession would have long become 'Heavenly Dao Practitioner'.

The inheritance in the Place is the same; he can learn a few skills but won't alter his profession's foundation, the growth rate of a magic profession won't change, and the Weather God profession will follow him for life.

The woodcutter explained: "Whether fated or not, you'll know upon meeting. Those old ghosts are all Great Completion stage powerhouses, with a few True Immortals. If your Luck is good enough, the deepest-hidden Golden Immortal might even Appear. But to accept inheritance, you must first defeat their phantom forms; otherwise, don't even think about it."

Great Completion stage, True Immortal, Golden Immortal!

From that, the 'Golden Immortal' in the instance seems to be a hidden boss!

Golden Immortal is an Ancestor God level powerhouse; the quality of its inheritance is on par with Zhang Fan's 'Chi Xiao'.

However, compared to the Heavenly Dao inheritance, it's still one tier weaker.

Xiao Feng asked again: "Uncle Woodcutter, if I've already accepted another inheritance, can I still accept the Place inheritance?"

Oh? What inheritance have you accepted? Stronger than a True Immortal?" The woodcutter asked intriguingly, a faint smile on his face, clearly not thinking his inheritance would be strong.

After all, the aura Xiao Feng currently shows is just like that; without acting, you can't see the power of his dual eighth-rank talent.

Under the woodcutter's gaze, Xiao Feng calmly replied: "Um……it needs to be a bit stronger than a True Immortal."

Really? Don't lie to me.

Upon hearing that, the woodcutter was a little doubtful.

Xiao Feng candidly said: "I'm not lying; I accepted a Venerable-level inheritance."

As for the specifics of that inheritance, it's inconvenient to elaborate.

Behind the Ninefold Heavenly Dao lies the Chaotic Immortal Realm; behind that is the dark hand of the Bury-Heaven Ancient Emperor; if I let slip and that big boss comes after me, it would be bad.

The woodcutter, upon hearing that, froze on the spot.

What did you say? Venerable-level?

Xiao Feng's single sentence left the woodcutter dumbfounded, falling into silence; he didn't speak for a while, even forgetting to turn the roasted chicken.

Xiao Feng wore an embarrassed expression on the surface.

But inside he felt a secret delight!

This woodcutter is definitely a high-level NPC, likely over level 1000.

Leaving such an NPC bewildered is also quite an achievement!

He picked up the skewer holding the roasted chicken and slowly turned it; feeling the heat insufficient, he circulated the power of laws, condensing some five-element fire to add a boost to this roasted chicken.

The woodcutter stayed silent, watching him for a long while.

Feeling the five-element fire's law power, his expression involuntarily twitched.

Mastering five-element true fire at the Nascent Soul stage—your talent is truly not bad……could you tell me what your Great Luo inheritance is like?" The woodcutter praised, then asked with a slightly odd tone.

Great Luo and Venerable mean the same thing, both being titles for bosses of levels 2000-3000.

Being acknowledged by such a powerful entity shows how talented one must be.

Xiao Feng replied: "Well……it's rather complex to explain, encompassing all phenomena, having five elements and yin-yang, as well as void and ages; my current realm is low, so I can comprehend only a little of it."

Woodcutter: ……

If it were merely a single-path Venerable-level inheritance, he could also accept it.

After all, as long as it isn't a Sword Dao inheritance, learning a True Immortal-level or higher sword technique wouldn't be bad.

The result: Xiao Feng knows everything, having accepted an all-encompassing grand inheritance, equivalent to a Great Luo-level powerhouse pouring out his entire treasury, giving everything.

What the hell is there left to teach?

Even the strongest Golden Immortal in the Place, unleashing his ultimate move, can't match a medium Secret Art of that Great Luo fellow!

Only what, once learned, brings great benefit to people can be called a heritage.

Merely teaching a single attack technique that's actually optional is just padding the numbers.

The woodcutter shook their head and sighed: "Those old ghosts, upon seeing you, will surely be angered to death."

Xiao Feng gave an embarrassed smile.

All right, gather the fire, it's cooked.

The aroma of the roasted chicken had already spread, fragrant and tempting.

The woodcutter waved their hand to extinguish the fire, then casually tore off a chicken leg larger than a lamb's leg and handed it to Xiao Feng.

【Roasted Chicken Leg】: Rank 2 delicacy, all attributes +1%, lasts 30 minutes.
