Chapter 167: Skill Upgrade Crystal

Henrick was just completing the trials for getting more crude souls from the trial master so that he could find anything he wanted from the soul store.

However, other than crude souls, he unknowingly became a rank 1 weaponsmith.

'Many disciples want to become a weaponsmith, alchemist and other professions; however, they are not even able to reach rank 1 as they didn't have much fate with that particular profession. And here I become a rank 1 weaponsmith,'

There were no boundaries for Henrick's excitement as he waited for the trial master to teleport him back to the main hall of the inheritance building.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the challenger for successfully clearing the level 1 ascending trial.

'Ding,

Teleporting the challenger to the main hall.

'Swoosh'

As he expected, the trial master congratulated him for completing the trial and started teleporting him back.

'Phew...at least I am careful now. Looks like the earlier failure was a good lesson for me,'

While teleporting back to the main hall, Henrick remembered the failure from the 'Trial:- Cultivate' and heaved a sigh of relief.

'Ding,

The challenger's level increases from level 0 to level 1.

'Ding,

The challenger's access in the inheritance building along with the soul store increased a little. Please check the new benefits of using the system.

Just as he appeared in the main hall ofo the inheritance building, more system notifications rang in his head that unconsciously made him smile.

"Thank you...trial master. Did I create any record?"

Henrick thanked the trial master and asked him whether he had created any record in the trial.

'Ding,

The challenger didn't create any record. As for the rewards, please wait.

The trial master replied as soon as he asked the question about the record that made his ear to ear smile to freeze.

'I am should be content with what I already got from the trial,'

Soon, Henrick started consoling himself with the reward he already got from the trial which was becoming a rank 1 weaponsmith.

'Ding,

The reward from the trial is sent to the challenger's system inventory. Please check it.

'Ding,

The trial master is impressed by the design of the dagger and decided to give 1000 crude souls. 

'Ding,

1000 crude souls added to the challenger's account. 

'Ding,

Total crude souls in the challenger's account:- 10,413.

"What?"

"Trial master, you are such a nice being,"

Just as he was consoling himself by thinking about the new profession, he received continuous system notifications from the trial master.

Even though the design of the dagger he created in the trial was nowhere near to the one he saw in a painting back in his house, it was still good. So, the trial master was impressed by it and gave him an extra 1000 crude souls.

"Did I reach 10000 crude sou? Excellent,"

Henrick's confidence in procuring the items he wanted from the soul store increased by a great margin.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the challenger for having the highest amount of crude souls just when he reached level 1.

'Ding,

A special reward is sent to the challenger's system inventory.

Just when Henrick felt he had enough surprise today, he received another set of system notifications from the trial master that made him feel like he was over the moon.

'Let's see what are the rewards,'

Without wasting any time, he hurriedly asked the system to show the two rewards he got from the trial master.

'Ding,

A rank 1 dagger created by the master.

'Ding,

A special coupon to buy any items from special items in the soul store.

'What?'

He was not surprised bu much regarding the first reward as he expected something like that; however, when he saw the second system notification, he was shocked and he hurriedly rushed towards the soul store to see what were the special items.

"Show me the special items,"

As soon as he said that to the soul store, it showed exactly ten items whose original prices were around 10000 crude souls.

"Holy heavens, this small beast skin is that valuable,"

Henrick was shocked to see the price below those items and looked at the small beast skin in his hands in a different light.

Even though he thought the small beast skin would be valuable; however, he didn't expect it to be this valuable.

'Which item should I pick?'

Henrick suppressed his shock and excitement inside his heart before looking at the items on the light screen.

'Rank 3 Flying sword'

'Rank 4 spirit beast egg'

'Rank 3 energy breaking pills'

.

.

.

.

'Rank 2 skill upgrade crystal'

Each and every item on the light screen was tempting to him; however, he didn't have much use with most of the items.

'Flying sword is good but it is eye-catching. Moreover, already have a rank 3 weapon. So, I don't need any new weapons for now,'

'Already have Spark and Ivy with me. So, I will eliminate the egg too,'

'Energy breaking pill? They must be used for breaking through to energy condensation realm; however, I can't break through now without finding a proper solution for my bloodline,'

.

.

.

He continued to check one item after another as he used the elimination method to eliminate the items depending on his current need.

All of a sudden Henrick's gaze stopped on the last item and he didn't even bother to look at other items on the light screen because he had already come to a decision after seeing that item.

"I want to take the last item, 'Rank 2 skill upgrade crystal',"

As soon as he picked the item from the light screen, he asked the soul store to give that item.

'Even though it is the cheapest item among all the 10 items, I need this item very much. So, there is nothing much to lose in it,'

Henrick silently thought in his head as he placed the beast skin on the light screen,

'Swoosh'

The beast skin turned into a small shining light and faded away at the same time a small fist-sized red-coloured crystal appeared in his hands.

'I hope, this item increase my skill to the peak,'

Holding the crystal in his hands, Henrick muttered to himself as he asked the system, 'Show me the full details about it.'

Actually, Henrick didn't know the complete information about the 10 items on the light screen; however, from the name, he could relate its use.

Some might think he could have asked for the complete details of the items before picking one item from the ten; however, the trial master had intentionally made him pick the item without having complete knowledge of them.

So, he asked the system to show the complete details after selecting the item which he thought would be useful in increasing the skill level 1.

'Ding,

Item name:- Skill upgrade crystal (Consumable item)

Grade:- Rank 2

Effects:- Can increase the level of any, one selected level 1 skill that is awakened, to level 2 without any side effects.

Note:- It can be used to level the levels of cultivation techniques that were learned by the cultivator or beast.

Soon, Henrick's sight was completely covered by a holographic screen that made him heave a sigh of relief.
