Chapter 495: A Talent Almost at the Pinnacle
September 25, 2017
The Failed Elixir of Eternal Life
Description: This is a study of a failed elixir of eternal life. Although it cannot grant immortality, it can still yield unexpected benefits.
Known Effects: It aids martial artists in breaking through their limits, significantly enhancing the physical attributes of the user and healing fatal injuries.
Unknown Effects: May cause mutation in certain aspects...?
These are the attributes of the failed elixir, with no level or quality. Although the effects seem impressive, Lu HaiKong is most concerned about the potential mutation and the mysterious question marks that follow.
To be honest, Lu HaiKong is reluctant to feed this elixir to Ma Pin, even though he brought it with him on this trip. Unless it's a last resort and all other options have been exhausted, Lu HaiKong would rather not resort to using this elixir.
This elixir is too bizarre; no one knows what Ma Pin will become after consuming it.
However, Ma Pin is on the verge of collapse, and Lu HaiKong has no other choice but to feed him the failed elixir.
After all, it's better to be alive than dead, right? Although they have the Shrine of Spirits at home, the process of cultivating spirits is just too slow.
After feeding the failed elixir to Ma Pin, Lu HaiKong carefully observes Ma Pin's condition, mentally prepared to accept any mutations that might occur.
Lu HaiKong swears that even if Ma Pin grows an extra eye or an extra pair of arms, he wouldn't be surprised.
Unexpectedly, after Ma Pin swallows the elixir, his eyes suddenly glow, and the ghostly aura within his body, which was almost sealed by Zhang Bao's suppression, erupts.
Ma Pin's ghostly aura usually gives off a chilling and repulsive feeling, appearing as a formless void. But now, as the aura bursts forth, it's like an endless stream of black smoke pouring out of Ma Pin's body. Within moments, the area around Ma Pin, several meters in radius, is enveloped in this dark ghostly aura.
Lu HaiKong senses a destructive force within the ghostly aura and frowns, immediately pushing Ma Pin and the people around him away from the area covered by the ghostly aura.
At the same time, a chilling aura emanates from the black smoke, and Lu HaiKong feels the aura on Ma Pin's body growing stronger by the moment, giving off a menacing coldness.
"Although I don't know what kind of mutation this guy will undergo, it seems his life is preserved, and his strength has increased significantly. I wonder how far it will go." Lu HaiKong senses the aura emanating from the ghostly aura and smiles, calmly waiting.
Lu HaiKong initially thought that Ma Pin's mutation wouldn't last long, but after a few minutes, he realizes he was wrong. Ma Pin's condition doesn't seem to be improving anytime soon.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong can only temporarily set Ma Pin aside, assigning someone to watch over him while he attends to other matters.
Lu HaiKong still remembers the system prompts he received when he left the barracks.
He opens the attribute panel and brings up two of the prompts: "Help me level up the bandits whose experience is full, and promote the bandit who can become a bandit leader to that position."
"The Bandit (Excellence) troops advanced in their ranks, far quicker than the professional advancement of Ma Pin's forces.
In less than ten minutes, one of the bandits successfully advanced to become a Bandit Leader.
Speaking of which, it seemed that all the generals under Lu HaiKong's command were originally mountain bandits, and this was the first time he had a bandit-turned leader. Lu HaiKong was excited about this individual's attributes.
???
Identity: Bandit Leader
Lord: Lu HaiKong
Loyalty: 70
Talent: Advanced (Strength Cap: 89, Politics Cap: 70, Strategy Cap: 75, Command Cap: 85)
Abilities:
Strength: 50, Politics: 20, Strategy: 25, Command: 30
When Lu HaiKong saw these attributes, his eyes lit up instantly.
Indeed, as expected of someone who advanced from Bandit (Excellence) to Bandit Leader, this individual's talent, although Advanced, had such high attributes in all four areas, making him a rare talent among Lu HaiKong's current forces.
Moreover, his Strength Cap directly reached 89, just a step away from the top-tier threshold. How could Lu HaiKong not be delighted with such talent?
In the blink of an eye, Lu HaiKong immediately gave this individual the name Chen Yi, a relatively reliable name. He also took out a Mutated Talent Pill obtained from a treasure chest earlier.
This pill could randomly increase one of the four attributes by two points. If Chen Yi was lucky enough to have it affect his Strength, he could directly become a top-tier talent.
Currently, among Lu HaiKong's top-tier talents, if we exclude the historical warrior generals, there were only Zhao Er, Wang Ti, and the big dumb guy, who barely counted as half a talent.
Wang Ti: Top-tier Talent (Strength Cap: 91, Politics Cap: 65, Strategy Cap: 60, Command Cap: 80)
Zhao Er: Top-tier Talent (Strength Cap: 92, Politics Cap: 70, Strategy Cap: 60, Command Cap: 85)
Big Dumb Guy: Top-tier Talent (Strength Cap: 95, Politics Cap: 0, Strategy Cap: 0, Command Cap: 0)
Compared to these three top-tier talents, Chen Yi's talent was Advanced, but he only lacked attributes above 90 in growth. The other three attributes were essentially the best.
Therefore, Lu HaiKong was very hopeful and directly promoted Chen Yi to a top-tier talent. Lu HaiKong's luck seemed quite good, as Chen Yi's attributes increased after consuming the Mutated Talent Pill, but only his Strength improved.
However, due to the low level of the Talent Pill, Chen Yi's Strength couldn't be raised above 90. Thus, Chen Yi's talent remained unchanged, which meant Lu HaiKong had wasted a Talent Pill.
Although Chen Yi had wasted a Talent Pill, Lu HaiKong wasn't too discouraged. After all, it was just an item obtained from a Golden Chest. If it was wasted, so be it.
With Chen Yi's talent, if nurtured well, he would become a capable general in the future.
Not long after Chen Yi's advancement, Lu HaiKong's over seven hundred Bandits (Excellence) successfully advanced to become Bloodthirsty Knights..."
