"Very well… Can you pay me 4 Mid-Tier Spirit Stones for this 1 Tranquility Potion first… Let me just try something out…" Vincent said as he made a plan to ensure that he'll get the best deal.
Priam was confused why Vincent wanted to sell 1 Tranquility Potion but he didn't think too much since he was about to obtain a special potion. He gave Vincent 4 of his Mid-Tier Spirit Stones and took 1 Tranquility Potion from the table with a smile.
"Alright… Wait for me for a moment… This won't take long. I'll just check something with this Mid-Tier Spirit Stone." Vincent said as he stood up to return to his room.
They were currently in the reception room and Millie and Ceri were actually standing behind him… As for Faviona and Dianne, they were inside their room while the Celestials were outside…
'Is he going to check if my Spirit Stones are fake? Well, I guess he has a unique Appraisal Method he didn't want to show.'
"Ehem… I don't mind. You can take your time checking it, Sir Vincent." Priam said as he doesn't really have a choice here.
Anyway, as soon as Vincent entered his room, he decided to use the Mid-Tier Spirit Stone as an Ascension Crystal and see how it differs from the Low-Ter Spirit Stones in terms of Ascending the items.
He found his Unique Grade Black Pistol and decided to Ascend it…
Well, Unique Grade is currently the lowest grade of magic item in his inventory… He decided to choose the lowest grade because he want to see its effectivity from the lowest to the highest grade. He wanted to test all Mid-Tier Spirit Stones.
[ Ascension Crystal found. Would you like to use 1 Ascension Crystal to Ascend an item? ]
"Yes…"
Vincent replied and he guided the system to activate the Ascension Crystal into the Black Pistol in his hands.
As soon as he did this, the Black Pistol glowed for a few seconds signifying that he successfully ascended the item.
'That was quick…' Vincent mused seeing the successful ascension without any delay.
It happened so fast that there was no suspense at all. It would normally take 5 to 10 seconds before he gets to know whether he succeeded or not.
Anyway, the glowing effect is the reason why he chose to enter his room. Enhancements would only have a glowing effect at the 7th Successful Enhancement but Ascension would have such an effect in every Successful Ascension.
He wouldn't be able to explain why his item lit up if he did this in front of everyone.
"Appraise…"
Ding!
[ Appraisal has been successful. ]
[ You have discovered a Black Pistol. ]

"What?!" Vincent was shocked as soon as he saw the attributes…
The Unique-Grade Black Pistol only has a single Special Attribute before.
It was only Rust Resistance.
However, as soon as he used the Mid-Tier Spirit Stone as his Ascension Crystal, and ascended it to Epic-Grade, not only did it guarantee the successful ascension, but it also added six more attributes excluding Rust Resistance and Durability attributes!
As for the skills, there wasn't any addition to them since only Transcendence Skill guarantees new skills and there is only a low chance to gain new skills during Ascension. However, it still increased the percentage of damage increase and critical and bleeding effects.
"Incredible… Ascending using Mid-Tier Spirit Stones is really a lot better…" Vincent couldn't help but feel excited about this.
Then, he also realized that there is actually a new Attribute on this pistol.
Spiritual Attack Resistance.
This is the first time he had seen such an attribute. Furthermore, it has 150 points, so it must be quite a strong resistance… Though he hasn't been attacked by a Spiritual Attack before, it's better than not having it. He doesn't know how it works but it's good that he has obtained this resistance in case he needed it.
Vincent then made up his mind and decided to trade his Tranquility Potion with Mid-Tier Spirit Stones. Although he would miss hundreds of Low-Tier Spirit Stones, he felt that the six attributes that the Mid-Tier Spirit Stones would provide are more important.
Based on his experience with Low-Tier Spirit Stones, he was only able to get 1 or 2 new attributes in every successful ascension. There were very rare cases of 3 new attributes and as for having 4 new attributes, it hadn't happened before.
'Let's try it again…' Vincent thought as he wasn't in a hurry anyway.
He was only away for a couple of minutes and they should be able to wait for more than that… He tested it again with the Black Pistol and his hands trembled after seeing the swift Ascension of the pistol from Epic to Pseudo-Legendary!
'Incredible…' Vincent thought as he waited for the glow to dissipate before appraising it again.
This time, the Durability increased from 900 to 1150 and there were three more attributes!
The Black Pistol now has Swiftness with 100 points, Silence with another 100 points, and Weapon Mastery with 120 points.
For some reason, Vincent felt that he had become a professional shooter while holding the gun. It seems to be related to the 120 points of Weapon Mastery! It is an incredible feeling….
Furthermore, the other attributes had also increased by 30 to 40 points after its successful Ascension and the skill effects improved its damage percentage as well.
Vincent no longer has any hesitation…
He will get as many Mid-Tier Spirit Stones as he can!
