Chapter 9: Chapter 7: Divine Talent, Seven-Aperture Linglong
"Detected the activation of Trial Taker’s Seven-Aperture Exquisite passive talent."
"Congratulations Trial Taker, Spiritual Power
200."
"Seven-Aperture Exquisite, Divine-level Passive Talent. As long as the caster’s Spiritual Power is not greater than three tis that of Seven-Aperture Exquisite, the owner of Seven-Aperture Exquisite can be immune to curses, hypnosis, confusion, sleep, and other spiritual attacks. If the caster’s Spiritual Power is not greater than six tis, the power of spiritual attacks is halved."
A surge of power engulfed Yi Tian, bringing imnse comfort. This passive skill seed useless but in a world full of crises, it added significant advantages.
Next, Yi Tian began to reap the fruits of his labor.
"Open Silver Treasure Chest."
"Silver*5, Celestial Dao Coin*1000, Yellow Flowered Pear Tree Seedling*100, High-quality Fishing Rod*1, Ice Storage Design Map."
Although it seed little, Yi Tian knew he had profited. Wood is divided into four types: Ordinary Wood, Mid-grade Wood, High-Level Wood, and Top-grade Wood.
The Celestial Dao Stone shows Yellow Flower Rattan Wood as High-Level Wood. Using High-Level Wood to make furniture can increase territory ratings. Although Yellow Flower Rattan Wood reaches maturity in eight months, four tis the duration of Ordinary Wood, for Yi Tian, who possesses the Water of Life, everything is not a problem.
"Congratulations, Lord, on becoming the first Trial Taker in Zone 66 to kill a Lightning Python. Water Mastery skill activated, Water Mastery LV.1."
"Congratulations, Lord, on becoming the first Trial Taker in Zone 10086 to kill a Lightning Python. Water Mastery
3. Current Water Mastery LV.4."
Yi Tian looked at the description of Water Mastery. Like hunting, Water Mastery is a passive skill.
Initially, Yi Tian thought that skills like farming, swimming, singing, dancing, running, cooking, and crafting belonged to skills.
Over the past few days, Yi Tian discovered they are not. Those life skills are not recognized by Celestial Dao.
Water Mastery includes bonuses to combat power in water, swimming bonuses, etc. LV.4 ans a 40% bonus.
Originally, Yi Tian’s physique allowed him to hold his breath for 10 minutes underwater. With the Water Mastery passive bonus, he can hold his breath for 14 minutes.
A very satisfying morning.
Divine Talent is no longer considered a windfall but a favor from the heavens.
Yi Tian knew that if it weren’t for having the Celestial Dao Roulette and accumulating a large advantage at the beginning, upgrading the construction platform, these rewards would never have co to him. There are countless experienced hunters—they just weren’t prepared.
Next, Yi Tian began processing snake at and wild boar at. Yi Tian kept only the wild boar skin, two beast cores, two beast tusks, one beast tendon, and three pounds of pork. All other snake and pork at was listed for sale.
This at would soon depreciate in value.
Lunch consisted of roast at and waterlon. Big Child drank milk, thinking Big Child wouldn’t eat the roast at.
Who could imagine Big Child eating and drinking milk, roast at, and waterlon, almost reaching half of Yi Tian’s appetite?
With food and drink satisfied, fists rearing to go, Yi Tian has already foreseen Celestial Dao Coins flooding towards him unwarranted.
The auction house opened, first reaping 40,000 Celestial Dao Coins from snake and wild boar at.
It took a whole two hours to complete the "Wild Boar Guidebook," "Brown Bear Guidebook," and "Lightning Snake Guidebook."
Yi Tian described every detail ticulously, including the movents and explosive power of the Three Evils, managing various distances, seizing opportunities, trap width, depth, and all aspects, urging Trial Takers not to fear.
He clearly marked how far to stay from the fierce beasts at different agility stages.
Fearing accidents, Yi Tian priced them very cheaply. The three guidebooks were sold together. Just spending 1 Celestial Dao Coin allows one to view these three guidebooks.
Most people have opened treasure chests; 1 Celestial Dao Coin can be afforded.
Note 1: With just one Celestial Dao Coin, you can kill Wild Boar, Brown Bear, and Lightning Snake, earning over 100,000 Celestial Dao Coins in profit.
At current prices, it indeed totals to a hundred thousand—no deception.
Note 2: Wild Boar, Brown Bear, and Lightning Snake are created by Celestial Dao, possessing no intelligence, only rules.
"Confirm, list!"
Yi Tian rubbed his hands eagerly, staring at the incoming inco.
A penny, two pennies, three pennies...
Damn it, no one’s buying!
"Everybody, go check out the auction house. Soone nad ’Wealthiest in the World’ is selling a ’Three Evils Guidebook’. This guidebook is amazing, I already killed a Brown Bear, earned 100,000 Celestial Dao Coins, opened a Silver Treasure Chest and got many rare materials. The guidebook is very cheap, only 1 Celestial Dao Coin."
Yi Tian opened the zone channel and sent three consecutive ssages.
A single stone raised a thousand waves.
Yi Tian didn’t watch what they said, and then sent ssages in the sub-zone channel.
Based on the serial number, Yi Tian roughly determined there are a total of 100,000 people in the sub-zone.
Among these 100,000 people, fewer than ten are Earthlings.
There weren’t many chatting at that ti, so Yi Tian sent a ssage every minute.
After using the ten speaking opportunities for today, Yi Tian quietly waited for a response.
Yi Tian noticed soone in the personal channel sending him a private ssage, Earth Human Race Qin Fanshuang.
Judging by the na, it seed like a woman, though he wasn’t sure.
"Did you really kill a Brown Bear?" Qin Fanshuang asked bluntly.
"[D-level Beast Core*1][Beast Tendon*1][Crossbow Technology Crystal*1][Steel Technology Crystal*1]."
Yi Tian didn’t say much but directly copied the possessed items for Qin Fanshuang to see.
Then Qin Fanshuang asked about details, precautions, etc. For the sake of fellow Huaxia Race, Yi Tian even lent her ten sharp blades.
After adding each other as friends, there’s a rental function that automatically returns them when due.
During this ti, hundreds of people sent Yi Tian private ssages. Yi Tian simply pasted the technology to them without saying much.
Yi Tian had no ti to entertain these aliens.
The entire yard was planted with waterlons. This ti, he did not use the Water of Life and let them grow freely.
Yi Tian discovered that after the greens and cabbages bore seeds, he harvested all of them.
The old greens and cabbages made Yi Tian feel a toothache just looking at them, so he directly auctioned them. 500g for two Celestial Dao Coins.
"WTF!"
After busying back and forth for four hours, Yi Tian accidentally checked his Celestial Dao balance. He jumped up directly.
One billion Celestial Dao Coins!
The auction house doesn’t allow false information to be circulated—news spreads quickly from one to ten, ten to a hundred. After reading Yi Tian’s strategy guide, all the Trial Takers felt enlightened.
There are countless people among the Cosmic Ten Thousand Races. A hundred million is just the tip of the iceberg.
Yi Tian gazed at the balance displaying nine digits and was slightly stunned.
"This doesn’t make sense! Why isn’t it increasing? Could the Celestial Dao Rules be punishing ?"
In Yi Tian’s plans, he intended to live off the strategy guides for a lifeti.
"Dammit, a bunch of..."
Yi Tian clicked on the special auctions, unable to hold back his curses.
The special auction section initially only contained Yi Tian’s strategy guides.
But now Yi Tian discovered there were more special auctions than his Dao Coins by one digit.
Moreover, the number was growing crazily at a rate of a million per second.
The most shaless part was that everyone’s notes were identical to Yi Tian’s.
Yi Tian pulled up a trend chart and looked at the price. It fell from 99 Spirit Coins to 1 Spirit Coin.
"Celestial Dao Rules, I want to report..."
Yi Tian searched for a while but couldn’t find the report button. He sat powerlessly on the ground, as if he had missed out on countless billions.
It took a while for Yi Tian to recover.
The prices of auction items cannot be changed. Although Yi Tian’s strategy guide, due to earning the most Dao Coins, always ranked first among strategy guides. However, no one was willing to spend 100 Spirit Coins to buy his strategy guide anymore.
The second-place position kept changing, but Yi Tian’s first place remained unshaken.
Yi Tian quietly opened a new guide, priced at 1 Spirit Coin.
Just as he was about to confirm it, Yi Tian thought for a mont and canceled it. It was pointless.
If the price could be changed, Yi Tian believed he could still earn quite a bit more, but unfortunately, it couldn’t be.
Once these strategy guide auctions are listed, they can never be canceled.
Yi Tian was still greedy; if he listed his strategy guide at 1 Spirit Coin, it would always be at the top. In that case, would there also be unexpected issues?
Yi Tian thought he was playing five-dinsional chess, but in this aspect, the Celestial Dao was playing on a higher atmosphere.
"Dao Coins: 104.5 million."
After coming to terms with it, Yi Tian finally smiled.
This money was enough for Yi Tian to build luxurious villas and city walls.
But not now. Yi Tian plans to wait for a significant drop in the prices of wood, stones, and iron ores before starting construction.
However, what troubled Yi Tian was that while city walls could be upgraded at a construction platform, villas required design maps.
Otherwise, no matter how high the city wall was, he could only live in a stone house.
Yi Tian searched the auction house but found no villa construction maps, not even farm cottage plans.
Even though he had a lot of money, he still had to do the work.
"Big Child, go check the prairie for any wild vegetables, wild fruits, or rabbits. We’ll change our taste tonight," Yi Tian said to Big Child as he prepared to plant trees.
Big Child, despite being a top-level intelligent being, was still young, with many things being a blank slate. He still needed to learn to plant trees and vegetables.
"Daddy, what are rabbits?" Big Child asked curiously.
"Anything that runs on four legs, just catch it. Don’t catch too many, one is enough."
Yi Tian checked the prairie; even dium-sized mammals were absent. Apart from rabbits and insects, there were so blueberries, strawberries, wild lons, and other wild fruits and vegetables, with a few shrubs containing so food.
"Daddy, I will definitely catch one."
Big Child said in his childish voice and then wobbled off into the prairie.
Yi Tian wasn’t worried at all. With Big Child’s strength, even a winged tiger could be caught easily.
Reaching the lakeside, Yi Tian first jumped into the lake for a refreshing bath, then planted the willow saplings obtained yesterday on the eastern shore.
The Yellow Flowered Pear Tree saplings weren’t planted together with the small forest.
Ordinary trees and high-level trees were kept separate.
Yi Tian planned to plant ordinary trees close to the forest east of the lake.
On the west side of the lake, close to the mountains, only high-level trees would be planted in the future.
"Wild beasts hopefully won’t be crazy enough to destroy the wood!"
After planting a hundred Yellow Flowered Pear Tree saplings, Yi Tian clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"The Celestial Dao Stone says every Lord’s territory has a vein. Veins differ greatly; a coal mine and a gold mine are worlds apart."
Underneath the sunset’s glow, Yi Tian climbed the mountains. There are five small mountains linked together, four of them are rocky, almost barren. The last one has shrubs and so wild fruits.
It’s easy to find the location of the veins by scanning with the Celestial Dao Stone.
"Detected a rich athyst ore in this mountain, which you can mine from top to bottom. Most of the athyst is deeply buried."
The hint from the Celestial Dao Stone stunned Yi Tian.
A stone mine!
There are four stone mountains here, so will he still lack stones after mining?
Although these four stone mountains are mostly unknown purple stones, they also contain ordinary rocks like split stones, bluestone, and listone.
"Athyst, top-level stone material. It’s hard, aesthetically pleasing, and difficult to cut. It’s one of the primary materials for crafting energy weapons and forging weapons."
The Celestial Dao Stone continued to introduce, lifting Yi Tian’s mood. This isn’t just stone, this is gold.
Stones, like wood, are divided into ordinary, interdiate, high-level, and top-grade categories.
Even ordinary stones are divided into different grades.
Yi Tian saw on the auction house that marble and granite were categorized as ordinary stone materials. On Earth, marble and granite are stone materials that can bring significant economic benefits, greatly differing from the ordinary stone on the mountain.
