[Dao Fruit: Heavenly Fire, Sword Dao]
[Divine Ability: None]
[Treasure: None]
[Page Number of The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes: 90]
[Anchor Points: 2]
As Lu Yang's thoughts changed, [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] quickly displayed his current panel. As expected, the changes were exactly the same as when he established his foundation.
Divine abilities and treasures were completely wiped clean.
The Dao Foundation became Dao Fruit, leaving only [Heavenly Fire] and [Sword Dao Fruit]. The [Seven Luminaries Heaven] and [Wuyou Heaven] were not calculated within.
However, what surprised Lu Yang was the last column of the information page.
"Two anchor points."
At first, he didn't react, thinking it included the anchor point used during foundation establishment. But after checking carefully, he realized he was wrong.
After advancing to the status of a perfected lord, the anchor points rewarded by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] actually became two. In other words, this greatly increased his tolerance for error in restarting. He no longer needed to worry about setting an anchor point on impulse and then encountering an accident, leading to a dead save file and a wasted anchor point.
Originally, I was a bit hesitant, but now I don't need to be.
Lu Yang smiled slightly, then with a move of his divine thought, he directly used one of the anchor points, setting it at this very moment of attaining the [Heavenly Fire].
Lu Yang naturally had his reasons for doing this.
First, naturally, he had two anchor points; using one still left one. Second, he wanted to leave himself a still-innocent time point.
Up until now, the initial me is still an ordinary Saint Sect disciple with undetermined Dao Foundation and Dao Fruit, possessing infinite possibilities. But if I restart and bring back my cultivation base, it would be very troublesome. So I might as well leave an anchor point and restart from this moment in the future.
To explore the secrets of heaven and earth and cultivate the Sword Dao Fruit with the identity of a perfected lord with a supreme Dao Fruit.
Wait until there's a real need in the future, then return to the completely innocent beginning. This can also maximize the exclusion of interference from other external forces.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang was about to close [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].
After all, according to his experience, the upgrade of [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] ended here, aside from the anchor points and information column updates. There wouldn't be any more changes.
But in the next second, he saw a pop-up window:
[Talent Integration Page is now open. Does the host wish to use it?]
...New function?
Unexpected surprise!
Lu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, then he directly clicked open the so-called [Talent Integration Page]. In the next second, a large amount of information jumped before his eyes:
[Talent Integration Page: Input nine different talents into it, with a certain probability of obtaining a higher-tier talent]
[Note: The better the input talents, the higher the probability of obtaining a higher-tier talent. The 'higher tier' is based on the grade of the input talents.]
Lu Yang skimmed through it briefly and quickly understood the mechanism of this "new function".
To put it bluntly, it was randomly refreshing talents. Refresh away some useless talents, and with good luck, obtain a better talent.
The operating principle was also simple:
A maximum of nine talents could be input. If the highest grade among the input talents was a White Talent, then there was a possibility of obtaining a Purple Talent.
Similarly, if the highest grade was Purple, there was a possibility of obtaining a Gold Talent.
Based on this, the greater the quantity and higher the grade of the input talents, the greater the probability of obtaining a higher-level new talent.
If I only input one Purple Talent, with bad luck I might lose out and get a White Talent. But if I input one Purple Talent plus eight White Talents to make up nine, then at the very least I can get a Purple Talent, which is a guaranteed minimum.
And if I throw in nine Purple Talents, there's a high probability of geting a Gold Talent.
The same goes for Gold Talents. If I can input nine Gold Talents, it's very likely to get a Multi-Colored Talent for me.
Multi-Colored Talent was above Gold Talent.
Lu Yang was certain that since Gold Talents allowed him to lead others at the foundation establishment level, a Multi-Colored Talent would definitely be of great use to him as a perfected lord!
But... do I have nine spare Gold Talents?
Lu Yang calculated, frowning slightly: [Divining Luck Drawing Lots] and [Turtle Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest] were both extracted from perfected lord golden nature, and their effects are excellent.
These two couldn't be exchanged.
[Marionette] might be useless to me now, but I can't guarantee I won't restart. This talent can still come in handy.
This one had to be kept too.
[True Dragon Blood Descendant] can't be exchanged. I'm counting on this to build good relations with the Dragon Race. The others, however, can all be exchanged...
[Natural Immortal Spirit]? Even a dog wouldn't use it!
Plus [Dragon-Slicing Platform], [Insignificant Person], [Unwilling to be Subservient], [Reincarnated Spirit Child], [I Am the First to Ascend], and [Fortune Does Not Fill the Eye]—seven Gold Talents.
These could be refreshed.
Although not as many as nine, it should still greatly increase the drop rate. Besides, I don't have extra talents to fill in.
After all, besides Gold Talents, he only had [Unorthodox Prodigy] and [A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve]. Both were treasure talents he couldn't bear to part with.
A pity. The drop rate of this [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] talent refresh won't be based on my own fortune, but completely on [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]'s own internal logic. Otherwise, with my current state of just advancing to perfected lord and having monstrous fortune, I should be able to get a drop no matter how I refresh.
Let's go with these seven!
With a thought from Lu Yang, the seven talents were immediately input into [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. Then, under Lu Yang's nervous gaze, [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] slammed shut with a boom.
Click!
A sound like a lock opening came from within [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. Immediately after, the book cover opened again, and a multi-colored brilliance suddenly bloomed!
Lu Yang was instantly overjoyed.
Soon, the colored light gathered in front of him, transforming into two lines of text:
[Multi-Colored Talent: Disciple Becomes the Master's Standard]
[Disciple Becomes the Master's Standard: As long as you accept disciples, the better the disciple's aptitude, the higher their cultivation base, and the greater their achievements, you as the master can benefit from it.]
This description wasn't detailed.
Lu Yang specifically expanded it to read, only then understanding the operating mechanism of this talent:
Simply put, every time I accept a disciple, I will receive feedback. The standard of feedback increases according to the disciple's aptitude, cultivation base, and achievements.
The worst feedback is aptitude. If the disciple only has good aptitude, I get at most some spiritual power feedback, which is useless to me. Then comes the disciple's cultivation base; for this, I can receive Dao comprehension feedback. The disciple's Dao comprehension becomes mine, which is very useful.
But the best feedback comes from achievements!
Simply put, if the disciple accomplishes something earth-shattering, I can receive feedback on destiny and karma. It's the most mysterious and wondrous...
Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but rub his chin.
It seems [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] is still considerate. Knowing I plan to establish a Dao lineage, it specifically refreshed this talent for me. Worthy of you!
In this wretched place, one still has to cheat!
