[Ding! Random talent confirmed: Vitality Seed, vitality increased by 10%, can be upgraded three times!]

[Ding! In thirty minutes, the Tribulation will descend, please proceed with caution.]

A warm current flowed into Lin Jichen's body, like a long-awaited rain quenching a drought, sweeping away all his fatigue and filling him with strength.

Lin Jichen hurriedly checked his attributes.

[Innate Talent: Heaven-defying Fate]

[Prestige: 0]

[Cultivation: 0/500]

[Realm: Initial stage of Qi Refining]

[Innate Attributes: Full] (Always full, no need to waste words)

Stepping into the Qi Refining Realm meant embarking on the path of immortality and officially becoming a cultivator.

A massive increase in strength.

All combat attributes were supposed to increase tenfold, but due to the Heaven-defying Fate talent, they doubled again.

That's a twentyfold increase.

This is the difference between cultivators and ordinary people.

And he also gained an additional talent, Vitality Seed, increasing his vitality limit by 10%.

This talent could evolve with each minor realm breakthrough.

For example, upon reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, it would evolve into Vitality Sprout, increasing the vitality limit by 20%;

At the late stage of Qi Refining, it would evolve to the highest grade, Vitality Tree, increasing the vitality limit by 30%.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

This talent was extremely useful for Lin Jichen in the early stages, as his attributes were already doubled, and now his vitality was increased by an additional 10%.

This meant that while other cultivators at the initial stage of Qi Refining had only 1000 points of vitality, he had 2200 points, and his vitality would continue to grow as his realm advanced.

Besides these three green, or Spirit Grade, pieces of equipment, there were also four white, Ordinary Grade, pieces of equipment.

[Ordinary Grade·Iron Plate Boots]: Speed +3.

[Ordinary Grade·Heartguard Leather Armor]: Defense +3.

[Ordinary Grade·Copper Head Knife]: Strength +4.

[Ordinary Grade·Iron Fist Gauntlets]: Strength +3.

In addition to these, there was a large pile of copper coins, looking to be several hundred, and also 10 lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Lin Jichen scooped up these items into his storage bag and turned to glance in the direction of the short-haired girl.

He noticed that the subordinates previously sent to the village had returned and were excitedly reporting to the short-haired girl.

"How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Lin Jichen asked as he returned.

At this moment, all the female players beside the short-haired girl were looking at him with adoration.

The short-haired girl nodded and said, "Your information was very valuable, indeed worth 500,000!"

"Then that's settled, goodbye." Lin Jichen dropped these words and made to leave.

He had to leave; the Tribulation was coming, and he needed to find a way to cross it.

"Wait." The short-haired girl called out to him.

Lin Jichen turned back jokingly, "You're not thinking of looting a burning house, are you?"

The short-haired girl huffed, "I'm not that kind of person."

"Then is there anything else?" Lin Jichen asked.

"The equipment you just got from killing the Wild Boar King, do you have any you won't use? Can you sell them to us?"

Lin Jichen thought about it and indeed had some he didn't need: the Illuminating Staff, Copper Head Knife, and Iron Fist Gauntlets were all useless to him, as they were for magic cultivators, knife cultivators, and body cultivators.

He needed to keep the rest for himself.

Lin Jichen took out these three pieces of equipment and said, "Name your price, if it doesn't meet my expectations, I might as well auction them in the village."

The short-haired girl's eyes lit up when she saw the three pieces of equipment, especially the staff.

That staff was top-notch! Perfect for the boss!
