Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 788 [Sureshot]

To upgrade his [Fundamental Merge], Leo learned using his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] that he needed 100 low-level Moon Stones and one mid-level Moon Stone.

Right now, Leo has met the requirements and could finally upgrade the talent.

Therefore, after returning to the Guest Courtyard, Leo allowed the Lunar Moon Spirit Wolf to play by itself as he took out the Moon Stones.

First, Leo placed all 100 low-level Moon Stones around him and held a mid-level Moon Stone in his hands.

'Swoosh'

Taking a deep breath, Leo circulated his cultivation technique and in the next second, the pure moon energy from the 100 low-level Moon Stones along with the mid-level Moon Stone in his hands entered his body.

'Aargh'

After a few moments, Leo felt pain all over his body as though his body would explode if he continued to be absorbed.

However, gritting his teeth, Leo continued to absorb the pure moon energy from the moon stones.

'Kacha'

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound from his body and in the next second, the entire pain in his body disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, all the Moon Stones around him and in his hands turned into dust before disappearing into nothingness.

'Is that it? Did I succeed?'

If Leo had the system, it would have been easier for him to learn about these things; however, he was still doubtful regarding the upgradation of his talent [Fundament Merge].

[Congratuations to the ascender for successfully upgrading the Fundamental Merge to level 4]

[The number of slots under the talent will be increased from 30 to 50]

[The Ascender can pick one of the following rewards]

1) A High-level Golden Core Pill.

2) Upgrading the title [Perfect Merger].

'So what if I didn't have a system? I have [Heaven's Voice] that informs me about the things that the system used to inform. What's more, [Heaven's Voice] would even reward me with good things.'

Hearing the announcements from [Heaven's Voice], Leo could not help but reveal a slight smile on his face.

'Even though I expected something different from the [Fundamental Merge], it is alright! I can use the twenty additional slots in merging per day.'

With a level 4 [Fundamental Merge], Leo could merge 50 special items. So, of course, he was happy about it.

'Before I check out the requirements for the next upgrade of the [Fundamental Merge], I should select my reward.'

Putting aside his thoughts, Leo checked out the two rewards from which he could only select one.

'A High-level Golden Core Pill….it has finally appeared.'

If it was before, Leo would have blindly taken it without any hesitation; however, right now, Leo already has 10 mid-level Golden Core Pills in his storage ring.

Moreover, he was thinking of increasing the effect of the title [Perfect Merger].

Currently, the title [Perfect Merger] only has a small chance of doubling the merged items; however, even after merging nearly 300 items, the effect was not triggered at least once.

Hence, Leo felt that he should do something about it and luckily, [Heaven's Voice] opened its eyes and sent the reward that he needed.

'If I am lucky and increase the triggering percentage of the effect under the title [Perfect Merger], it could be very useful because, now, I can merge 50 special items per day.'

With that thought in his mind, Leo decided to upgrade the title [Perfect Merger].

[The ascender has selected the upgradation of the title]

[The ascender's title has been upgraded and a new effect [Sureshot] has been unlocked]

As soon as he selected his reward, without wasting any time, [Heaven's Voice] rewarded him and even informed him that the title unlocked a new effect.

'A new effect? Even though I knew there would be new effects under the title, I didn't expect the upgrade to have a new effect.'

Leo was only expecting to increase the success rate of triggering the effect of doubling the end product of the merging.

So, it was a pleasant surprise for him as he could not hold back himself as he used the [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to check out the information about his new title.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Title Name: Perfect Merger.

Effect: There is a 10 percent chance for the end product of a successful merger to be doubled.

Special Effect: SureShot: Upon using it, the user can double the end product of a successful merge by once every day.

….

'Haha…I did the right thing by picking the title upgrade.'

Looking at the information in his head…especially, the special effect of the title, Leo could not help but clench his fists with excitement.

With the [SureShot], Leo could double the rare items every day.

'Even though I can only do it once every day, it was more than enough in my current situation.'

With an excited smile on his face, Leo didn't waste any time as he directly took out the ten mid-level Golden Core Pills from the storage ring.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Success rate: 100 percent

…

Even though he was excited, Leo didn't forget the basic rule that he had set for himself.

Whenever he wanted to merge special and rare items like Golden Core Pills, he should make sure that the success rate of the merging was 100 percent.

Maybe it was his first merging after upgrading the [Fundamental Merge] to level 4, the success rate was 100 percent on his first attempt.

[Fundament Merge]

[Sureshot Merging]

Suppressing his emotions, Leo closed his eyes as he activated the talent and at the same time, he thought about [Sureshot].

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

In the next second, the mid-level Golden Core Pills started merging into one pill and just when the merging process was about to end, the single pill split into two pills.

'Swoosh'

Those two pills were still shining with a golden glow as they flew into Leo's hands.

'I…I did it…I have two Golden Core Pills.'

Leo slowly opened his eyes and looking at the shining golden-coloured pills in his hands, he became excited and wanted to shout.

However, since he was staying in the Guest Courtyard, Leo suppressed his emotions.

'With these two High-level Golden Core Pills, I can take one and as for the other one, I can let Gallant take it.'

Even before he could check out the effects and the special effects of the Golden Core Pill, Leo was thinking about who to share the pills with.

The reason why he wanted to share the other pill with Gallant was, that he had been following Leo for nearly 400 years and all his support and loyalty, it was the least that Leo could do for him.

A regular high-level Golden Core Pill gives a cultivator a success rate of 90 percent combining the success rate from the pill and the cultivator's talent.

However, the ones in his hands were not the regular high-level Golden Core Pills but the merged high-level Golden Core Pills that have improved effects along with a special effect.

So, Leo was confident that with these two Golden Core Pills, his sect would have two Golden Core Realm Cultivators.

Moreover, with the high-level Spirit Stones, their cultivation would be much faster and they could reach level 3 or even level 4 Golden Core Realm in a few months after their successful breakthrough.

'Anyway, let's check the information on the pills before resuming my merging session.'

With an expectant look on his face, Leo checked out the information on the Golden Core Pills in his head.

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

….

Pill Name: Golden Core Pill (Merged).

Pill Grade: High-level Rank 3.

Effect: A perfected Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator can break through to the Golden Core Realm without any failure.

Note:

1) There is a 75 percent chance that the cultivator will directly break through to level 2 Golden Core Realm.

2) There is a 50 percent chance that the cultivator will directly break through to level 3 Golden Core Realm.

3) There is a 25 percent chance that the cultivator will directly break through to level 4 Golden Core Realm.

Special Effect: 1) Increases the success rate of Golden Core Realm Cultivator by 10 percent while breaking through to Nascent Soul Realm.

…

'What? Why do these effects look like it was a top-level Foundational Establishment Pill but an upgraded version since it was a Golden Core Pill?'

Leo was excited to learn about the effects of the High-level Golden Core Pill; however, there was another thought in his head that made his heart race at a high speed.

'If a High-level Golden Core Pill has such heaven-defying effects, what kind of effects does a top-level Golden Core Pill have?'

This was the thought that was making Leo's heart race and at the same time, it also made him look forward to the future.

'Anyway, I will think about those things in the future.'

Leo shook his head as he carefully placed the two high-level Golden Core Pills in his storage ring.

Even though he could consume the pills and breakthrough through the Golden Core Realm right away, Leo didn't want to do it in the Lunar Sect.

'Even though it won't raise any suspicions since I got the Golden Core Pills from the Lunar Sect itself, I don't want them to know about my breakthrough…at least for now.'

With that thought in mind, Leo kept away those two pills and started merging the other things in the batches of tens.

….

100 low-level spirit stones → 10 mid-level spirit stones (10 slots).

100 mid-level spirit stones → 10 high-level spirit stones (10 slots).

100 low-level moon stones → 10 mid-level moon stones (10 slots).

90 mid-level moon stones → 9 high-level moon stones (9 slots).

…
