Chapter 328: A New Slot, New Opportunities

Even with my scan, I still have to take the understanding of my cultivation method rank by rank. Of course, there are aspects that I can get beforehand, such as tiers of strength and potential abilities, but there are others that are buried deep into the more esoteric avenues in it.

For a normal cultivator that practices it, who would already be considered a genius of geniuses, they might even miss the signs of such secrets.

In some ways, I find myself in a small state of pleasant shock.

And then intense researching.

Coming to one big conclusion.

Of course, theres a catch. It couldnt be easy.

As it is incorporated into my Boundless Healing method, it must still abide by its rules.

No offensive or harmful techniques.

And as I discovered earlier, my current cultivation method is one of the few kinds that wont work with the OCS system.

So, this is the best chance I have to put in abilities and techniques outside my normal range.

But what would work best?

What am I missing most out of my skill set?

Teleportation/movement techniques.

Well, those can be replaced by formations and talismans. Not to mention independent techniques.

Offensive adjacent techniques.

Alchemy, formations, artifacts, and even my body should be able to replicate most things that I could do with other methods. There are of course, powerful exceptions, but I feel like theres something else out there.

Defense techniques.

With my healing abilities, formations, and techniques, I should be able to out-live almost all battles. In a sense, Im a heal/dodge tank

Actually.

I do have a major gap. One that I hold dear.

Protecting others.

While I can heal others and bring them back from the dead (in the future), I cant prevent them from being taken from me or injured in the first place.

Though she comes from a noble background and has some internal biases, Ive seen a lot of personal and interpersonal growth from her.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned about her potentially obsessive romantic interest, though.

Im sure it will be fine.

Yeah.

I definitely dont have to use the scan to find out the truth.

Totally safe.

Moving my mind away from the possible danger, I mull over my next steps with Xing Xuns family. Mostly, involving heading over and dumping a large amount of spirit stones in their lap, and directing them on where to invest some of it. Letting Xing Xun handle the rest.

On this side, I can also distribute several stones to the merchant family members for the same purpose, as well as the Trauma Team experiments and my group as a whole.

Ahead of everything else, there is one promise I must honor.

I phone Sister Nuan to keep her updated, using the communication qi treasure she gave me. A ridiculously expensive, yet essential item for emergencies and updates. As it seems shes busy with something, she rapidly approves of the changes and actions before hopping off the call.

There are a few other things, but this should work for now. Time to get to work.

I head downstairs and run over to an intercom system that reaches across the fortress. One benefit of the recent upgrades to the area.

Attention. All fortress personnel, within the hour, please head to the Central Courtyard for an important announcement. Once again

I pick up a mass shuffle over to the central area, between the three towers at a crossroads. A perfect area for stage meetings. Well, except for the hospital staff, who have to travel past the East Tower to get there.

As the initiator of the announcement, I head over there a bit earlier after making some more preparations. Like last time, everyone seems to have gotten here earlier than the appointed time, so I start a bit earlier.

This will be a brief announcement, but one that each of you should hear and know. Our groups name shall be the Foundations of Heaven. For those who reach a certain level of trust in the organization, there is another name for those within: The Listeners of the Divine.

If murmurs were the norm for announcements, now they are replaced with cheers and shouts. But I hush them to make some things clear.

Just to be clear, these names are not regarding me, but are simply a representation of the guiding principles of our group. To do the right thing, lead and love others, and to actually be righteous, not faking it for face.

I relax my voice a bit before continuing.

Well talk about this more later, but just do what you can to help others and that will be enough.

Of course, this leads to even more discussion, to which I dismiss everyone. Therell be plenty of time to include more information throughout the rest of this week, after all.

With all the announcements complete and everyone dispersed, I head back to the tower to isolate myself for my wealth accumulation project.

Nevertheless, three people loitering in the building entrance seem to have different agendas. And with goals Ive suspected since I came back to this area.

Ai, Lin, and Shi.
