Chapter 806 - Insight Pill
Chapter 806: Insight Pill
The fourth floor of the Xingyue Pavillion was where the Secret Treasure trading hall was.
As the door was pushed open and he entered the room, he then saw a roundish hall with tables and chairs circling the center. In the middle was a cylindrical stage.
There were already three people inside when he entered.
They were not chatting but were either enjoying the food on their table or training with their eyes closed.
The moment he arrived, he attracted their attention as they turned to look at him.
They checked his stats, and there was shock and bewilderment in their eyes.
Jiang Feng glanced at the three of them. They were all at Heaven Realm Five Stars and above. They had all formed their Black Pills. A cold, handsome man wearing white was just like him as he had formed an Earth Soul, and it was an A Rank Earth Soul.
While he did not know who he was, he knew a lot about the man in white.
Ximen Chuixue!
He was a Wuxia Character that he liked a lot when he was younger.
When he came here, he then realized that some of the people that appeared in the Wuxia novels were based on some of the elites in the Xingyue Area.
Ximen Chuixue was one of them.
In truth, he had already seen Ximen Chuixue once when he had just arrived at the Xingyue Area. He was one of those people waiting for him outside of Tianji Hall together with Zhou Botong.
It seemed that he wanted to take him as his disciple too, but Zhou Botong made his move first.
When he saw Ximen Chuixue looking at him, he smiled and nodded at him. He then looked for a seat in the room and sat down.
The Secret Treasure Tradeshow would start at 12 in the afternoon and 12 at midnight.
When he exited the Secret Map, it was already around ten. There was about 1 hour before the Secret Treasure Tradeshow would begin. That was why there were so few people here.
Since the others said nothing, Jiang Feng did not go over and greet them. He merely sat on the chair as he began to draw from the lottery.
There were already five items within the shop, but they were only support items. There was nothing he could use to increase his power.
That was why he was preparing to draw from the lottery again to see if he could get anything that could increase his power. He wanted to break through into the Earth Realm.
Luckily, his power had already reached Peak Earth Realm. Only his Combat Rating was still lagging behind. As soon as Combat Rating had breached through 10,000, he could then reach Heaven Realm.
When he was increasing his Star Levels, there was no requirement to increase his Combat Rating. But if he wanted to break through to Heaven Realm, there was a strict requirement for his Combat Rating. It was somewhat difficult to increase his Combat Rating past 10,000.
When one’s Combat Rating had reached 9,999, the remaining one point would depend on the system itself.
If the system deemed that one had reached the power of Heaven Realm One Star, it would then allow one to break through into the Heaven Realm. However, if it deemed that one had not met the requisite qualification, then it would never allow one’s Combat Rating to reach 10,000.
He had 323,439 Reputation Points.
The reputation points that he gained from the Secret Map had all been used up. The reason that his Reputation Points did not decrease but kept on increasing was that his fans were increasing. Clearing the Mirror Image Secret Map had also gained him plenty of fans among those from the Xingyue Area and that had caused the increment.
He only decided to go for the lottery because he had enough Reputation Points to spend.
‘Draw!’
Thank you for your patronage!
‘Draw!’
Thank you for your patronage!
...
The chances of getting something were still as low as usual. Luckily, after the sixth time, he finally got something at the seventh time.
Ding. Monster Transmutation System Prompt: Congratulations, you have drawn an “Insight Pill.”
Insight Pill: Once consumed, reduce the duration needed to master a Secret Manual by five days.
‘Hm? This is something good. With this, I can learn powerful techniques from Secret Manuals without having to wait for too long!’
Jiang Feng was quite happy as he looked at the white pill in his hand.
While the Insight Pill was not a pill that he could use to directly increase his powers, it was still something that was quite valuable to him.
Even if he did not need it, he could still sell it. The value of an Insight Pill should float around 500,000 to 600,000.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, he then looked for its price at the shop.
Insight Pill: 5,000 Reputation Points.
“Seriously? It costs the same as an Aeon Drop? An Insight Pill is as valuable as an Aeon Drop?” He gave it a thought and realized that the value for the two of them was indeed similar.
The Aeon Drop was a consumable that could be used to heal and treat injuries. It was something very useful during dangerous times.
An Insight Pill could be used to reduce the time needed to train. For example, he would be quite anxious if he did not have the Insight Pill as the competition would begin soon and he did not have the time to learn anything from the Secret Manuals. The Insight Pill solved that issue for him.
‘Oh, right. Don’t I have Li Shizhen’s Skin? That’s a Heaven Rank Secret Manual. I should learn it so that I can try the Insight Pill’s effects!’ Jiang Feng suddenly remembered the Secret Manual “Li Shizhen’s Skin” that he had drawn earlier. With the Insight Pill in hand, he wanted to see if he could learn it directly.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Will you learn the secrets on Li Shizhen’s Skin?
‘Yes!’
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Learning the Secret Manual will take 30 days. Training ongoing.
’30 Days?’
‘It’s even longer than the time needed to learn the Black Thunder Chi Shield.’
While he knew that “Li Shizhen’s Skin” was a Hidden Manual, he was not sure what its exact use was.
In order to see what kind of Secret Manual it was, he spent 25,000 Reputation Points and bought 5 Insight Pills. He then ate all of the Insight Pills he had, including the one he drew.
After he had eaten the six Insight Pills, there was some information in his mind. It was as if they had always been there in his memories, and they had been carved into his mind.
After reading the memories, he finally knew what was inside the Secret Manual.
The Secret Manual contained knowledge on healing and contained many healing skills and techniques. Including those to reveal human potential as well as using acupoints to improve the rate of healing.
There were also some techniques for causing damage and crowd control.
“As expected of a Heaven Rank Secret Manual! It’s so powerful! Now that I’ve mastered this Secret Manual, the team has a healer!”
Healers were very rare among Squadrons. Most of them would be pure supports instead.
With a healer among them, the Squadron’s power would increase by another level.
While Jiang Feng’s squadron had already reached the level of a Professional Squadron, their power and rapport were still quite lacking when compared to the other Professional Squadrons.
The only reason they could clear the Mirror Image Secret Map was because of Jianbao, the near limitless amount of Treasures, and his S Rank Earth Soul.
However, in official competitions, he would not be allowed to have pets or use medicines.
As for the Earth Soul, he believed that players from the Squadrons that had reached the Top Ten would possess Earth Souls and there would be more than a couple. Some of them might even have high-ranking Black Pills and Earth Souls too.
That was why it would be quite difficult to achieve victory in the competition.
However, since he had mastered the medical Secret Manual, it might be useful during the competition.
Once he had learned the Secret Manual, he noticed that several people had entered. He looked at the time and stopped drawing as the Secret Treasure Tradeshow was about to begin.
