“Choose talents [High Speed Regeneration] and [Spiritual Energy Conversion]!”

Lin Changqing didn’t hesitate. As long as it was a pet talent that could increase his strength, he had to obtain it now.

The two talents of [Thorn Vine] were related to plants. Lin Changqing knew that obtaining a pet talent would not turn him into a non-human monster. At most, the talent would be ineffective, so he was relieved and no longer had any scruples.

Two almost invisible spiritual lights flew from the [Thorn Vine] that had turned into a vine bracelet into Lin Changqing’s forehead.

Two forces were born from Lin Changqing’s body. After one of the forces circulated once, it automatically fused with the powerful life force in his body. After fusing, the life force had an even stronger activity, enough to regrow broken limbs.

Another force was constantly transforming Lin Changqing’s body. After the transformation, Lin Changqing could clearly feel that he had a clearer sense of the various thin energies in the air.

After Lin Changqing had a super strong perception, he vaguely sensed that there was a pure energy in the air of this world. Human bodies, various animals, and plants instinctively wanted to absorb this energy.

Now, his perception of this energy was even clearer.

Lin Changqing guessed that this kind of pure energy was spiritual energy. He discovered that under normal circumstances, the amount of spiritual energy his body could absorb was extremely small. All kinds of training could only slightly increase the effect of his body absorbing spiritual energy.

“Spiritual energy, warriors, cultivators, monsters! This is a wonderful world. The [High Speed Regeneration] talent seems to have fused with the [Exuberant Vitality] talent, allowing me to have the powerful regeneration ability to regrow a new limb.

“The [Spiritual Energy Conversion] talent has greatly enhanced my body’s originally very weak spiritual energy perception ability. This should be helpful for cultivating the cultivation techniques of this world.

“It’s a pity that my body can’t convert other energies into spiritual energy. I didn’t inherit the core ability of this talent. This can be considered as integrating the [Spiritual Energy Conversion] talent into the [Powerful Perception] talent.”

Lin Changqing kept summarizing his experience. He discovered that the talents he obtained, which had similar abilities and related talents, would be fused. There would not be a situation where he had a large number of talents. After fusing, the innate ability would be even stronger.

Lin Changqing thought for a moment and picked up his pet [Bamboo Staff], choosing to obtain the talent [Stick Strike].

The [Bamboo Staff] shot out a ray of light that entered Lin Changqing’s forehead. Everything was calm. There were no changes in Lin Changqing’s body. The mysterious power he was looking forward to did not appear.

“I thought that when I punch people in the future, I would definitely hit them and knock them out. As expected, some talents are not suitable for humans at all.”

With this experiment, there was no need to test the Tiger-Spotted Dog’s [Fierce Dog] talent.

After capturing another pet and obtaining two talents, Lin Changqing was in a good mood.

Lin Changqing instinctively knew that as long as he was willing, he could instantly recover from his injuries.

Lin Changqing lay down again and sensed the [Thorn Vine] on his left wrist. He could sense that the [Thorn Vine] had been instinctively converting, absorbing, and storing spiritual energy. After putting on the [Thorn Vine] vine bracelet, he realized that his absorption efficiency had increased.

The two pets, Little Bamboo and Little Tiger, took the initiative to lean to his left and get some of the spiritual energy.

—————–

For the next three days, Lin Changqing lay in bed recuperating. His injuries were also constantly recovering under the effect of the medicine, and he could already walk around.

In the past three days, Lin Changqing had used the broken net to capture the short knife his predecessor had obtained when he joined the Knife Gang, the insects that had unintentionally flown into the room, and an inconspicuous small item in the room. He had not succeeded in capturing any of them.

After successfully capturing with the broken net three times in a row, Lin Changqing finally failed three times in a row.

Lin Changqing was locked in his room, so the targets he could choose to capture were very limited. They were either targets that he felt had a very low success rate or very conspicuous targets that were difficult to take away.

On the fourth day, Lin Changqing once again chose to catch the short knife in his hand.

This short knife was a standard self-defense weapon for the Knife Gang. It was similar to a waist knife and was only about sixty centimeters long. It was very easy to carry.

The broken net caught the short knife. This time, it did not quickly return to Lin Changqing’s sea of consciousness. Instead, it paused for a moment and waited for the cold dead knife to magically give birth to a trace of spirituality before disappearing.

This time, the capture was successful.

This short knife that Lin Changqing had been playing with for the past few days had finally become his pet.

[Short Knife]: A weapon with a sturdy blade and a sharp blade. It has the talent of [Sharp Weapon]. It can grow.

[Sharp Weapon]: Increases the lethality of weapons.

This pet [Snickersnee] only had one talent, and it was an exclusive talent for weapons. It was useless for Lin Changqing to want it.

Lin Changqing gently pulled out the familiar short knife. The changes on the surface of the short knife were very subtle, but on the inside, it was completely different. It went from an ordinary inferior knife to a good knife.

“It’s not bad to have a good weapon.”

Lin Changqing didn’t obtain any talent, but he was still very satisfied. If he succeeded in capturing it, he would have profited.

In the next two days, Lin Changqing continued to capture the insect and the small object he often played with, but he did not succeed. After that, he no longer used the Broken Net to capture them. Every day, he waited patiently for his body to completely recover and for new news to arrive.

—————–

On the twelfth day after Lin Changqing was locked up, Cheng Lihu finally sent someone to look for him.

At this moment, Lin Changqing’s body had completely recovered, and the injuries on Little Tiger’s body had all healed.

He washed up and changed into the new clothes that the members of the White Tiger Hall had sent over. He held Little Bamboo in his right hand and the short knife his waist. He wore a vine bracelet on his left hand and brought Little Tiger with him. He followed the members of the White Tiger Hall out of the room that he had stayed in for twelve days.

“Greetings, Hallist!

When Lin Changqing saw Cheng Lihu again, Cheng Lihu greeted him personally with a smile. “You’re recovering well. Come, Changqing, sit over here. There’s no need to be reserved when you’re with me. I’m good friends with Elder Zhao. You’re also my junior.

“You don’t have to worry about Leader Lu being killed. With me around, it’s very difficult to blame this on you. Work hard in my White Tiger Hall in the future. If you make a few more contributions and your status increases, you’ll be able to escape completely.

“I called you over this time to talk to you about cultivating martial arts. Elder Zhao originally prepared everything for you, but it’s a pity. Those things have been handed over to the gang, and your relationship with Elder Zhao has yet to be settled. It’s no longer realistic for you to take them back.

“I can only take out the martial arts legacy of the gang, the introductory section of Heaven Gate Saber Technique. I’m cultivating this cultivation technique. I can give you some pointers.”

Cheng Lihu’s enthusiasm made Lin Changqing a little flustered.

“There are three realms in martial arts cultivation. They are Force Refinement, Strength Refinement, and Qi Refinement. Each realm can be divided into three stages: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Above the three realms is the Extraordinary Lupin realm.”

Cheng Lihu began to explain the magical martial arts to Lin Changqing.
