Chapter 184: Magical Artifact Skill Upgrade!

If that's the case...

Wang Ping'an's breathing suddenly became hurried, his thoughts moved, and he hurriedly took out the magical artifact from another storage bag, which was also spoils he had seized.

It is an Evil Cultivator's magical artifact!

Piled on the ground, waiting for the World Pearl to devour and increase its area.

Originally.

He was still toiling, wondering what to do with these magical artifacts; they could be sold, but only cheaply, not for a high price, and might not even sell well.

Unexpectedly.

The magical artifact could actually also increase the World Pearl's area!

Wang Ping'an pondered: 'Why not buy some raw materials for crafting magical artifacts, make them into artifacts, let the World Pearl devour them to increase its area?'

This thought hadn't lingered three seconds in Wang Ping'an's mind before he shook his head and rejected it, after all, the raw materials needed for low-grade magical artifacts aren't cheap; they all require low-grade spirit stones to purchase.

Having low-grade spirit stones to buy raw materials for low-grade magical artifacts is worse than directly letting the World Pearl devour them, which can equally increase the World Pearl's area.

And it doesn't require effort!

The World Pearl can increase its area by devouring magical artifacts, but the increase is limited, far less than that gained by devouring low-grade spirit stones.

If one has time and energy to craft magical artifacts and let the World Pearl devour them to increase its area, it's better to sell the artifacts for low-grade spirit stones.

Use low-grade spirit stones to increase the World Pearl's area!

Therefore.

The World Pearl can only devour those seized spoils magical artifacts; there's no need to specially expend effort to craft magical artifacts for it to devour.

Having reached this thought, Wang Ping'an made a decision, no longer paying attention to the World Pearl devouring magical artifacts; with a thought, he summoned the panel, looking at the panel's series of data, which left him somewhat dazzled.

However.

Wang Ping'an's gaze mostly lingered on 'Merit: 6251' on the panel.

'Is it to wait until accumulating ten thousand merit points to upgrade the technique of the Minor Accomplishment realm to the next proficiency level, or to upgrade other techniques to the Minor Accomplishment realm?'

In a moment, myriad thoughts arose in Wang Ping'an's mind; he quickly decided: 'First upgrade all other techniques to the Minor Accomplishment realm, then consider upgrading the Minor Accomplishment realm technique to the next proficiency level!'

He made such a quick decision naturally because six thousand merit points came swiftly; he believes that if it happens once, it will surely happen again.

Thus.

Wang Ping'an was again pondering which techniques to upgrade to the Minor Accomplishment realm.

Suddenly.

Wang Ping'an, out of the corner of his eye, saw the spirit fruit tree growing inside the World Pearl and the sprouting spirit rice seeds; whether the spirit fruit tree or the spirit rice seeds, their growth was vigorous and their speed notably evident.

Only this many days?

And already there have been astonishing changes!

I just don't know whether it's because, when the World Pearl devours low-grade spirit stones to increase land area, there is a large amount of energy contained within, or because he frequently uses techniques repeatedly on the spirit fruit tree and rice seeds.

Or perhaps...

Both are present!

'The Minor Accomplishment realm's Spring Rain Technique, compared to other proficiency levels' Spring Rain Technique, shows an obviously remarkable effect; the difference could be said to be heaven and earth, not an exaggeration—should we try upgrading the other two techniques to the Minor Accomplishment realm?'

A flash of inspiration sprang up in Wang Ping'an's mind, and thereafter he could no longer restrain his thoughts; the main and most important techniques and cultivation methods had already been upgraded by him to the Minor Accomplishment realm.

Now only... it cannot be said to be optional; each technique's proficiency increase greatly helps him, but it's not that urgent.

Therefore.

Upgrading earlier or later actually makes little difference.

"Ding! You spent one thousand merit points to upgrade the technique: Planting, Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!"

"Ding! You spent one thousand merit points to upgrade the technique: Breeding, Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!"

Wang Ping'an touched it, and the two techniques' backs showed flashing golden '+' signs; in his mind, two mechanical, cold sounds rang out in succession.

Afterward.

Wang Ping'an immediately used the two techniques upgraded to the Minor Accomplishment realm—Planting and Breeding—on the surrounding spirit fruit saplings.

The spirit fruit saplings' astonishing changes can be clearly seen.

Wang Ping'an's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, 'Indeed, I knew it—the Minor Accomplishment realm's Planting and Breeding techniques differ completely from the Mastery-level Planting and Breeding techniques; the gap is truly heaven and earth!'

This time, upgrading these two techniques to the Minor Accomplishment realm can greatly shorten the growth time of the spirit fruit saplings and spirit rice!

This novel you have arrived at

Having finished his silent thought, Wang Ping'an's gaze lingered on the panel 'Cultivation Method, Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter)'; the two techniques just upgraded to the Minor Accomplishment realm once again proved their difference from the Mastery period.

Wang Ping'an was very curious: if the 'Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter)' were upgraded to the Minor Accomplishment realm, what astonishing changes would occur?

Hei Mao Bu Tou has already become a spirit beast; would using the 'Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter)' further advance it to an intermediate spirit beast?

Will Peregrine Falcon Little Gray break through the limit's restriction, evolving from an ordinary creature into a spirit beast?

Of course.

What he is most curious about, moreover, is whether the obscure Black Dog Little Black will become a spirit beast in its youth.

Once Black Dog Little Black becomes a spirit beast, he can arrange for it to do work.

Black-hearted capitalist, how could he possibly tolerate the Black Dog Little Black playing recklessly with good intentions?

Even if it's a child, it's not allowed!

"Ding! You spent one thousand merit points to upgrade the cultivation method: Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter), Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!"

A mechanical, cold sound rang out in his mind; Wang Ping'an very much wanted to return his consciousness to his true body and use the Minor Accomplishment realm's 'Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter)' on Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray, but thinking that Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray were still striving to earn merit for him.

How could one just call them back casually?

Black Dog Little Black, meanwhile, enjoys being by his side, but unfortunately it's still too small; previously, whether using the 'Spirit Beast Guidance Method (Spirit Beast Chapter)' or other techniques, the effect was mediocre, completely inferior to Hei Mao Bu Tou and Peregrine Falcon Little Gray.

It might be because it was only born a few months ago, its bones haven't grown large, there's no way, it cannot fully absorb the large amount of energy contained in the techniques.

This will only result in an average effect!

Upon thinking of the 'Qi Refining Guidance Method (Spirit Pet Chapter)', Wang Ping'an naturally thought of the 'Blessing Technique' and the 'Healing Technique'; just as he was about to upgrade these two skills, he was about to touch the flashing golden '+' signs behind them.

Not knowing what he had thought of, he suddenly stopped.

Wang Ping'an caught sight, out of the corner of his eye, of Talent: Sword Bone and Talent: Crisis Sense, and frowned, saying: "Wait, don't rush to upgrade the Blessing Technique and Healing Technique; we should upgrade these two Talents first!"

Ding! You spent 1,000 Merit to upgrade Talent: Sword Bone, Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!

Ding! You spent 1,000 Merit to upgrade Talent: Crisis Sense, Mastery → Minor Accomplishment!
