Chapter 727: The World Has No Place For A Powerhouse Like Me

From then on, Ye Lingchen would be able to transfigure himself as long as he had in mind the appearance he wanted. That made it much easier for him to fool others.

It was better than nothing.

‘Continue the lucky draw!’

The last time his lucky draw was interrupted halfway. That should not happen this time. With over 40 million popularity points, he planned to go wild with the lucky draw.

Cultivation (Basic), Refining: Defense (Basic), Dragon-Catcher Hand (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Gastronomy (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic), Bug Language (Basic), Touch of Death (Basic).

He picked the basic skills again, which was left with 12 options.

A million popularity points were deducted in an instant. The glow flashed wildly as it jumped over each individual skill.

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say that he was nervous. Within the 12 were two language skills. There should not be much chances of getting them from the lucky draw.

The golden glow’s movement caused Ye Lingchen’s eyes to lose focus.

As the speed slowed down, his heart raced faster and eventually held his breath.

Ding!

With a crisp ring, the glow finally stopped!

‘Dragon-Catcher Hand (Basic)?’

It was another martial arts technique!

Ye Lingchen let out a long sigh of relief. It was quite a good outcome. A claw technique would be quite useful in a fight. Unlike the Arhat Fist’s rigidness, it would definitely give his opponents a very difficult time.

In fact, Ye Lingchen still managed to use the Dragon-Catcher Hand to disarm a weapon off the hands of a creature from the Void Realm, despite it being only at the basic level.

‘Dragon-Catcher Hand (Intermediate): Within a hundred meters, one claw is all it takes!’

The succinct skill summary caused Ye Lingchen’s eyes to brighten up.

‘This is the equivalent of taking something through the air. That was a supreme technique that was the dream of many wuxia fans. All I need to do is have them stand there and quietly stand there and take off their shirts in a wave...cough cough...

‘Calm down. I need to put it to proper use.’

Ye Lingchen warned himself. ‘Would I be able to use this technique to steal...from a distance? Cough cough...’

‘This technique is creepy all on its own. I can’t be blamed.’

After rationalizing his thoughts, he straightened his body.

He spent another one million popularity points for the 3rd lucky draw!

The glow appeared once more and started flashing about on the 11 remaining skills.

‘Please don’t let me down.’

Ye Lingchen muttered in his heart.

Ding!

With another loud ring, the glow finally stopped!

‘Gastronomy (Basic)! Damn it!’

Ye Lingchen was speechless. That skill was fully designed for quality of life. It was suitable for passing time, but it only acted as a showy skill.

‘Nevermind, it can help me satiate my appetite. Appreciating good food is another form of entertainment,’ Ye Lingchen comforted himself. Following that, the light flashed and the skill upgrade was complete.

The next moment, a huge load of information rushed into Ye Lingchen’s mind. They were all information regarding food. The torrential flood of information went beyond Ye Lingchen’s imagination.

After ten full minutes, Ye Lingchen was finally able to really sort them out.

A look of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He did not expect such extensive details going into mere cooking. All sorts of recipes for sauce, as well as the best methods for processing and preparing meat, filled his mind.

Many of the ingredients for those sauces and meat cuts were unheard of for him. However, he was quite confident that those ingredients would be found in the Void Realm. Moreover, those meat cuts were obviously magical beasts within the Void Realm!

It would seem he had another agenda within the Void Realm—to taste the flesh of magical beasts.

Apart from that, there were also quite a few surprises for Ye Lingchen. Since it was about gastronomy, then he would definitely need to cook. Within it was a set of knife techniques. Although it was meant for cooking, it managed to help him grow more natural with the use of a knife. Meanwhile, the most surprising part was that it gave him an understanding on how to control the flames!

One needed to control the temperature when cooking. When Ye Lingchen first did his refining, he had injected his spiritual energy into the flames. It took him a lot of time and effort to control the flames because he had no idea how to control it. Somehow, he had unexpectedly come across the method in his Gastronomy skill.

It was still cooking, but why did the methods to control flames only appear when reaching the intermediate level?

Ye Lingchen speculated that it could be due to the use of regular flames to be sufficient for the regular ingredients. However, upon reaching the intermediate level, he had access to meat from magical beasts. With that, the flames he needed to use were no longer regular flames and would require special methods to control it.

‘Gastronomy (Intermediate): Your food is irresistible. You can now directly affect their heart via food.’

That was a surprisingly good benefit.

Using up another one million popularity points, the lucky draw continued!

The glow started shuffling through for the fourth time with only 10 basic skills remaining.

By then, Ye Lingchen was numb.

Ding!

The glow stopped.

Cultivation (Basic)!

Seeing that, Ye Lingchen dazed out for a second and was followed by a rush of excitement.

He originally planned to upgrade all his basic skills as a last resort to get Cultivation up to a higher level as it was just too good.

Although it was not apparent at the moment, Ye Lingchen understood its potential. Just the name itself implied it. It would help cultivate him into a greater level.

Moreover, as much as Cultivation and martial arts dealt with spiritual energy, they were essentially different. Martial arts focused on the use of spiritual energy in combat, destruction, speed, and physical strength. Meanwhile, Cultivation uses spiritual energy in a myriad of ways. It could control water, fire, and even plants. When compared like that, Cultivation was much stronger.

Moreover, the spiritual energy from his cultivation would also nourish his internal organs, helping him with recovery after enduring injuries. That was leagues beyond the simple use of spiritual energy in martial arts.

Along with a bright flash...

‘Cultivation (Intermediate): Breathing technique at the intermediate level.’

It was a very simple explanation. At the same time, a cultivation pathway appeared in Ye Lingchen’s mind.

It was just a simple picture of the human body along with some pathways for the spiritual energy to cycle through after absorbing them. It was not as complicated as upgrading Gastronomy and the process ended within an instant.

Ye Lingchen followed along the cultivation pathway for one cycle and felt his body turn lighter. It was especially obvious on his breathing. He felt his breathing incomparably relaxed. With each breath, he could take in a deep breath of sweet and fresh air, vitalizing his brain. That feeling was just too enjoyable.

After some time, Ye Lingchen opened his eyes, unable to contain the happiness he felt within.

Seven fold!

His cultivation speed went up by seven fold!

How terrifying and monstrous was that?!

Based on his old speed, he would be a rookie even after a lifetime of cultivation. However, that had been changed completely.

His cultivation in one lifetime was worth seven lifetimes in his previous state!

The spiritual energy that would be stored within his body throughout his life would be terrifying. By that time, he could possibly cause a torrent with a simple wave of his hand.

Just how majestic of a sight would that be?

He dared not imagine.

‘The world has no place for a powerhouse like me.’
