[T/N: star-being changed to starborn being.]
[The Servant of Knowledge reveals a kind smile and hands you an item…]
[You have obtained the Scroll of Speed Reading (Legendary-Grade Item)]
Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.
Another legendary-grade item!
Previously, when the Child of the Stars died, it had also dropped a legendary-grade item.
[The Servant of Knowledge waves its staff, and a beam of white light envelops your entire body…]
[All disordered Knowledge within your soul has been cleansed!]
[Your Knowledge cap has increased. Current Knowledge: 0/2000]
[You are affected by Blessing of Knowledge
3, further increasing your Knowledge cap. Current Knowledge: 0/2700]
[The Servant of Knowledge tells you that the ti for parting has co. It will send you out of the temple, back to where you were before entering the Celestial Prison of Captive Stars…]
[The Servant of Knowledge waves its staff once more, and white light floods over you…]
[Teleportation initiated…]
[…]
[Teleportation successful!]
[An ordinary wandering soul awakens within the Astrologer Tower…]
[The glow of kerosene lamps illuminates the hall, which is lined with many desks and small astrolabes.]
[At the end of the hall is a refined copper elevator that leads to the second floor of the tower.]
[Do you wish to take the elevator or leave the Astrologer Tower?]
Lin Xun ignored the text choices and quickly opened his inventory to check the loot.
First, the item dropped after the Child of the Stars died.
[Dried Spirit Essence of the Child of the Stars (Special Spirit Essence item): A remnant Spirit Essence on the body of a god, extrely powerful. It was left behind after the death of the Child of the Stars. For so unknown reason, this Spirit Essence, which should be full and abundant, appears sowhat withered, as if it has been excessively drained.]
[Using this item grants 500,000 Spirit Essence. It can also be used in forging Shell Equipnt, with a chance of triggering an awakening effect that generates related bonus attributes.]
Lin Xun’s eyes widened.
Using the Spirit Essence item from the Child of the Stars would yield a full five hundred thousand points of Spirit Essence!
And that was the result after the Child of the Stars had been thoroughly drained of power within the prison.
If it had been at full strength, who knew how much Spirit Essence it might have yielded… One million? Maybe three or five million?
He thought for a mont and decided not to use this item purely for Spirit Essence just yet.
As a god, even a drained and weakened lower-tier deity should possess a very extraordinary awakening effect with its special Spirit Essence.
Spirit Essence could be earned over ti, but awakening effects on equipnt were rare and not easily encountered.
Using this Spirit Essence to awaken equipnt would undoubtedly make the gear imnsely powerful.
Next, he looked at the legendary-grade item.
[Falling Starlight (Legendary-Grade Item): Nothing in this world lasts forever, not even the eternal stars. When a star falls, it releases the most radiant light of its existence.]
[Use this item on a designated Shell to grant it the powerful skill Falling Starlight!]
[Falling Starlight (Legendary-Grade Skill): The radiance released as a star falls. It possesses devastating destructive power! When cast, it unleashes a beam of annihilating starlight infused with the power of a falling star. Requires extended chanting to cast. (Spell-type skill)]
Lin Xun’s eyes glead with excitent.
This item could grant the legendary skill Falling Starlight, which was clearly a high-tier mage-exclusive spell.
However, he also noticed that Falling Starlight required a long chant to cast, aning the skill had significant limitations.
Although the Bishop’s Jeweled Crown equipped on the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s Shell could slightly boost casting speed, it was only a Fine
grade piece of Shell Equipnt. Its speed enhancent was marginal at best.
Lin Xun opened the Shell Panel.
[You are currently possessing the Shell of Corrupted Yellow-Robed Bishop of the White Moon Church!]
He clicked on Falling Starlight.
[Using this item will cause the current Shell to learn the Shell Skill ‘Falling Starlight.’ Do you wish to proceed?]
Of course, Lin Xun clicked yes.
[The current Shell’s quality is too low. Using this item will result in a reduced skill quality. Do you still wish to proceed?]
???
Lin Xun slowly typed out three question marks.
He opened the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s panel. The Shell quality was still Rare , which indeed seed a bit low for a skill of legendary-grade power.
The Yellow-Robed Bishop’s Shell had accompanied him for a long ti, acquired shortly after entering the Blood Sun world.
Before acquiring the Earth Giant, the Yellow-Robed Bishop had been a very powerful Shell, taking down countless bosses.
But compared to the Epic
grade Earth Giant, this Shell had gradually fallen into the role of tactical support.
“Without realizing it, even the Yellow-Robed Bishop has fallen behind…”
Lin Xun sighed, stored the item, and continued inspecting the next one.
[Lubricating Sli of the Child of the Stars (Material): Sli dripping from the surface of its slick tentacles. This is no ordinary sli. This is divine sli!]
He twitched at the corner of his mouth.
[Scroll of Speed Reading (Legendary-Grade Item): A scroll pure as snow, inscribed with glowing symbols, containing unfathomably complex knowledge.]
[Use this item on a designated Shell to greatly enhance that Shell’s spellcasting speed! Spells requiring short chants will beco instant-cast, while long-chant spells will have their casting ti drastically reduced.]
Lin Xun gazed at the item in deep thought.
The Servant of Knowledge must have known that he had obtained Falling Starlight, and so changed his reward for joining the Oath into the Scroll of Speed Reading to help him grow stronger.
The problem was, the Yellow-Robed Bishop couldn’t learn Falling Starlight…
He tried having the Earth Giant learn Falling Starlight.
The ga’s grim text indicated that the Earth Giant’s Shell had sufficient quality, but the Shell wasn’t suitable for learning the skill, and forcing it would also reduce the skill’s quality.
Then a thought struck Lin Xun, weren’t the astrologers in the Astrologer Tower mages too?
Maybe in this world, scholars and academics were often mage-class professions.
He still had a route map to the Multivision School Association that he hadn’t explored yet.
There might just be even more powerful mages over there!
Just as Lin Xun was about to exit the Astrologer Tower, he suddenly rembered there was still sothing he hadn’t done.
He took the elevator at the end of the hall and arrived on the third floor of the Astrologer Tower.
