First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 82: Innate Martial Bone

"It's really delicious."

The Lingcang Rat devoured the meat quickly, as if a gust of wind had swept away the remnants of the clouds, and soon it was all in its belly.

It supported its waist with one small hand, while gently stroking its belly with the other, expressing a satisfied sigh.

"If you're full, don't sleep anymore."

"I have a few questions for you!"

Shen Mo could finally communicate normally with the Lingcang Rat, and there were many things he wanted to clarify at this moment.

"What does the master want to ask?"

"How strong is your ability to steal treasures everywhere, and where are the boundaries? Can you ignore any restrictions and come and go as you please?"

This was Shen Mo's first question.

Although there was a lot of information revealed by the "Fate: Knowledge of Demons," which gave Shen Mo some understanding of the Lingcang Rat's abilities.

But the information from "Knowledge of Demons" was still too vague.

And when Shen Mo asked this little guy before, they couldn't communicate properly, and the little guy could only "whine! whine! whine!" which made Shen Mo unable to understand its response.

"Boundaries?" The Lingcang Rat communicated with its mind, "I don't know."

"It seems that there are no boundaries to speak of. As long as there are treasures nearby, I can often sense their location. So far, I haven't encountered any obstacles."

It seems that it can really ignore most restrictions.

Shen Mo nodded when he heard this, and asked some other questions.

For example, whether it remembers its parents, why it was born near the Xuanjing Mine, and why it mixed with those Gold-Eating Rats.

However, this Lingcang Rat was very confused.

It only said that it had never seen its parents and didn't know what was special about itself. It had been living around the Xuanjing Mine since it had memories.

To survive, it had to work hard to find food everywhere every day, until it met Shen Mo and started to have good meals every day.

"Do you have any cultivation techniques? Like swallowing the radiance of the sun and moon, enhancing the demonic power in your body?"

Finally, Shen Mo couldn't help but ask this question.

As a cultivator with great ambition, he still hoped that his spiritual pet could be stronger.

Although the Lingcang Rat could steal treasures and search for things for him, this function was too narrow.

If there was hope to cultivate the Lingcang Rat into a powerful spiritual beast, and fight side by side with him in the future when he roamed the cultivation world, he would definitely not hesitate to spend time and resources to cultivate it.

However, these days, he had fed this little guy a lot of demonic beast meat, and even if an ordinary person ate demonic meat every day, there should be some increase in strength.

But there was no change in its cultivation level, which made Shen Mo somewhat anxious.

"Cultivation techniques?"

"I don't know."

The Lingcang Rat shook its little head, looking lazy.

"..."

It seemed that this little guy didn't even have the instinct to cultivate as a demonic beast.

Suddenly, Shen Mo regretted binding the only spiritual pet contract before the Linghai Realm to it.

"Forget it, you can continue sleeping."

After a series of questions, Shen Mo's expectations of training the Lingcang Rat gradually dissipated, and he could only let nature take its course.

In the next ten days, Shen Mo returned to his peaceful days.

He stayed in the cave, practicing cultivation, refining pills, forging tools, and making talismans, practicing various techniques to increase his proficiency.

During this period, Guo Zhao came once, and he really found the Azure Water Pearl, allowing Shen Mo to successfully refine the Thunder Transformation Pill.

After refining the pill, Shen Mo didn't personally give it to Uncle Chen, but entrusted Guo Zhao to deliver it.

Guo Zhao naturally understood that Shen Mo wanted to give him an opportunity to perform, and he was very grateful for it.

After delivering the Thunder Transformation Pill, Chen An knew that Guo Zhao had worked hard to find the most crucial medicinal materials for him, and couldn't help but thank him.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Physique: Strong and robust]

[资：资质上佳]

[运：运道平平]

[貌：仪表堂堂]

[慧：平平无奇]

[命：？？？]

[寿：？？？]

Shen Mo once again opened the Destiny Panel and examined his basic Destiny Chart.

"It's been a long time since I had a breakthrough."

He looked at the number above the Destiny Points, eager to try.

After accumulating for some time, his Destiny Points had reached over 30.

He read through the sources of the increase in Destiny Points, and found that cultivation accounted for a small portion.

It was in the competition among newcomers and fighting against others that he gained the most Destiny Points.

"It's time to strengthen my basic Destiny Chart."

During this period, due to adding points to the basic Destiny, Shen Mo had mostly spent his Destiny Points on extracting special Destinies.

As a result, the basic Destiny Chart had remained unchanged.

Previously, Shen Mo didn't think much of it, but after witnessing the dominance of geniuses like Lu Ming, he believed that he should pay more attention to and cultivate his basic Destiny Chart.

Even if he couldn't compare with these peerless geniuses, he shouldn't be left too far behind.

"Let's begin!"

Shen Mo first added points to the attribute [Outstanding Aptitude].

[You have spent ten Destiny Points, attempting to raise your aptitude to the next level, but failed.]

"The probability of improvement is still too low. Let's improve the white-grade Destiny first!"

After one failure, he decisively stopped and instead put the remaining twenty Destiny Points into other attributes.

[You have spent one Destiny Point, attempting to raise your fortune to the next level, but failed.]

[You have spent one Destiny Point, attempting to raise your appearance to the next level, but failed.]

[You have spent one Destiny Point, attempting to raise your physique to the next level, and succeeded.]

[Congratulations, your physique (white: strong and robust) has been promoted to (green: Innate Muscular).]

After a series of failed attempts, Shen Mo finally succeeded in improving one of his basic Destinies!

"Innate Muscular?" He quickly focused his gaze on the basic Destiny and checked its changes.

[Innate Muscular (green): Your bones are extraordinary, different from ordinary people. Your physique and strength have been enhanced, and it is easier for you to practice martial arts and immortal techniques than ordinary people.]

"Crack! Crack!"

Shen Mo clenched his fist, feeling the changes after the Destiny improvement. "It seems that the increase in strength is limited."

Although the promotion was successful, perhaps because Shen Mo's strength was already astonishing due to various blessings, the increase in power brought by Innate Muscular was not significant.

"However, the speed of practicing martial arts and immortal techniques should improve."

He wasn't disappointed. The basic Destiny had its own effects and importance. Even without an immediate increase in power, he believed it would be of great help to him in the future.

"After this promotion, three out of my five major Destinies are green-grade."

Apart from the Wisdom and Fortune Destinies, which still belonged to the realm of ordinary people, his appearance, aptitude, and physique had already surpassed the level of an average person.

"I can't compare to those naturally talented geniuses, but as long as I make progress, it's fine to take it slow."

After completing the Destiny improvement, Shen Mo shifted his focus to his other attributes.

[Main Destiny: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation: Qi Gathering Realm, First Layer]

[Talisman Dao: (First Grade) 978/1000]

[Pill Dao: (First Grade) 962/1000]

[Forging: (First Grade) 575/1000]

These were the progress levels of Shen Mo's three major secondary professions.
