Illustrated Book of All Races: You call this an F-level talent?

Today's first update: Chapter 171, oh~ The number of updates on a certain eggplant has exceeded 300, +1 update tomorrow, and there are even more rewards on a certain cat, +1 update tomorrow, the reader [King of Freeloaders] happened to go to school, I said, I will secretly add more updates while he is away, hehehe~

There is one more update today, and four updates tomorrow~

Next time, I will urge for more than 500+1 updates~ Try hard, come on~

…

[Ding, you successfully crossed the polar iceberg within 72 hours, the time: 2 hours and 13 minutes, and obtained the SSS-level score, God's Blessing·Son of Luck takes effect, the trial score level +1, congratulations on obtaining the SSSS-level score! ]

Two hours, thirteen minutes!

This result is quite explosive in the past nine hundred years, and it can even be said to be a result that no one dared to think about!

Why was the time limit for the SSS-level score of the polar iceberg relaxed to a full three days?

Imagine, the shortest distance, just climbing to the top of the mountain is 150,000 meters long, this is climbing a mountain, not walking on flat ground!

(PS: I read the book reviews recently and found that many readers can't accept the initial speed. In fact, don't look at it from a realistic perspective. I said at the beginning that after the blue planet accepted the asteroid, the size and mass of the planet increased, and the gravity, climate, etc. were no longer normal!)

(If you look at it from a realistic perspective, is it realistic to climb a mountain with an altitude of 100,000 meters and an angle of 70 in two hours? Mount Tai is 1,500 meters, and I climbed it in four and a half hours!)

Normal trialists, even those with high mobility like Xu Kun, or even those with SSS-level body skills/speed talent bonuses, can't do it so fast!

Not to mention the snow blocking the road that caused some trouble to Xu Kun, just the ice attribute damage that harassed his body all the time, and the inevitable encounter with the group of snow monsters entrenched on the top of the mountain after choosing the shortest route!

All these conditions combined are enough to discourage those who want to rely on their speed advantage to quickly climb over the iceberg!

Going down the mountain is not easier than going up the mountain. The ice layer that has not melted for years and the steep mountain walls. Once your feet slip and you fall out of control from somewhere, no matter what your talent is, you will be smashed into a pool of meat!

So, to sum up, we can draw a conclusion: Xu Kun is awesome!

[Ding, you successfully completed the seventh level of the trial, experience +416%, upgraded to level 6, level 10, and the personal reward for the SSSS level score is as follows: Spiritual Order-Artifact Soul Pool (Level 50)! ]

[Ding, you have entered the eighth level, and your level has been advanced to level 7, level 0! ]

Xu Kun was shocked. The four words "artifact soul pool" made him very unfamiliar!

But it doesn't matter if it's unfamiliar. The word "artifact" alone is enough to prove the extraordinaryness of this personal reward!

[Spiritual Order-Artifact Soul Pool (Level 50)]

Introduction: Artifacts are extremely powerful and have souls, but artifacts can also be damaged and fall. After the artifact body encounters irreversible damage, it cannot carry the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit is a spiritual body, and its final destination is the artifact soul pool!

The artifact soul pool contains countless artifact spirits that have lost their bodies in the past. These artifact spirits live like lonely ghosts!

They still retain the belief that they fought side by side with their masters before, and are unwilling to be lonely in the soul pool for their entire lives. If a person with great luck can master the ability to communicate with the soul pool, he can summon these homeless artifact spirits and give them suitable carriers, so that the equipment that originally had no spirituality can gain enough spirituality to grow into an artifact!

Function: The Spiritual Order is a special prop that can temporarily connect to the artifact soul pool. It can temporarily open the dimension where the artifact soul pool is located. You can use a carrier (equipment) to put it into the soul pool to summon an artifact spirit that is willing to follow you in battle!

The upper limit of summoning artifact spirits (that is, the upper limit of the carrier equipment advanced growth) is -50 levels.

The weapon spirit has spirits. If it cannot find a suitable master, it would rather be lonely in the soul pool. Therefore, the secret order can summon the weapon spirit of the upper limit of 50th level, but it does not mean that you can gain the trust of the 50th level artifact!

Number of spiritual communication: 2 times (you can summon two weapon spirits at a time, or you can summon them in two times)

Friendly reminder: weapon spirits are arrogant. In a single case, when a powerful weapon spirit appears, other weapon spirits of the same level will give up the opportunity to leave the soul pool, so it is recommended to communicate with the spirit in two times!

Carrier requirements: None (after attaching spirits, no matter what grade or level the carrier equipment was before, it will evolve to the current level of the corresponding user)

Note: Although attaching spirits can make the equipment have the potential to advance to a high-level artifact, when attaching spirits for the first time, depending on the grade of the carrier equipment, it takes a different number of high-level spirit stones (S or above) to make the carrier meet the requirements of weapon spirit attachment!

The lower the grade of the carrier equipment, the higher the grade of the summoned spirit, the more high-level spirit stones will be spent. If there are not enough spirit stones to allow the spirit to complete the first spirit attachment, an opportunity will be wasted!

Therefore, although there is no grade requirement for the carrier itself, in order to avoid being disliked by the spirit, or to spend too many spirit stones to make the carrier meet the requirements of the spirit attachment, try to use high-grade equipment as a carrier!

After the first spirit attachment, the carrier equipment will be upgraded to an SS-level artifact that meets the current level of the wearer, which depends entirely on the strength of the spirit (including high, medium and low levels, and the difference in the number of evolutions). The requirements for advancement are the same as normal artifacts!

…

After reading it, Xu Kun fell into a brief silence.

Silently raised his arm and opened the metal bracelet on his arm.

In the Haotian Tower, the metal bracelet is in offline mode, but before entering the tower, Xu Kun included all kinds of books that he had no time to read but felt needed!

(It’s equivalent to downloading the novel in the form of an e-book~)

Most of them are information that only Human Race S-level permissions are qualified to read. Of course, this also includes some opinions of Human Race divine craftsmen on the casting of artifacts and all aspects covered by the artifacts!

After some offline searching, Xu Kun found the knowledge he wanted to find in the ocean of knowledge!

Two of the articles caught his eye.

[The false magician’s trick - using the soul pool of the artifact to create an artifact]

[Artifact Soul Pool? The fish pond of the equipment industry! 】

"Fake God Craftsman?" Xu Kun curiously opened the first article.

After reading it, it was an eye-opener!

It turns out that the birth of artifacts, in addition to the drops from Haotian Tower bosses, advanced trial score rewards, and the casting of divine craftsmen, the existence of the soul pool of artifacts can enable some forging masters who are not qualified in their own casting skills to successfully join the ranks of divine craftsmen. Enjoy the admiration within the human race!

The artifact soul pool, as a special existence, as long as you hold the [Psychic Secret Order], you do not need to have casting skills. You can take any carrier equipment, add enough high-level spiritual stones required for enchantment, and "cast" it. An artifact is coming!

This is undoubtedly a trick, even a fool's errand!

But why would the soul pool, an artifact that does not require casting skills at all, be associated with a divine craftsman?

This involves a relationship of interest!

Some forging masters are unable to complete the casting of artifacts throughout their lives, and as long as they have the [Psychic Secret Order], these masters who have never been able to win the title of divine craftsman can use this to reach the sky in one step, "successfully" forge artifacts, and become The bottom among the divine craftsmen!

So some people are curious. You have created an artifact with the help of [Psychic Secret Order], but your own casting skills have not reached the level of a divine craftsman. Does such an empty title of divine craftsman make sense?

Of course!

Because once they obtain the honor of being a divine craftsman, the price of the equipment made by them will increase exponentially for those who ask them to build equipment!

Obviously there is no substantial change in the casting technique, but just like a piece of clothing, if it is printed with the logo of a big brand, the price will be very different from that of unbranded goods!

With the help of this article, Xu Kun finally understood the price of the [Psychic Secret Order]. Even the lowest level 10th-level artifact, the soul pool, ranges in price from billions to tens of billions!

Those forging masters spent huge sums of money to get an opportunity to summon the weapon spirit. The subsequent value it can bring to them far exceeds the price of purchasing a [Psychic Secret Order]!

Therefore, there are many casting masters in the human race who will take this path, which caused the publisher of this article to angrily accuse them, calling these people false divine craftsmen!

These people have not only ruined the good reputation of the master craftsman, but they are also people who do not devote themselves to the study of casting skills and are greedy for profit!

Of course, among the pseudo-magic craftsmen, it is not without the help of this method that they can achieve a virtuous cycle and become true craftsmen!

By first obtaining the name of a divine craftsman, he made a lot of money, and then, like the divine craftsman who exclusively cast the [Dustless Suit], through the accumulation of wealth, he invested in the casting, and finally succeeded in creating the artifact with his own hands!

Therefore, for ordinary people, [Psychic Secret Order] is a treasure prop that can obtain an artifact, but for a casting master, it is another choice to become a divine craftsman!

As for the second article, it clarified the nature of the [Artifact Soul Pool] in a short sentence!

The article says: The artifact soul pond is the fish pond, and the artifact spirit is the fish in it. The psychic secret order is the ticket to enter the fish pond. The ticket has a limit on the number of times you can enter and the number of fishing. The personal attraction to the artifact spirit is equivalent to making a nest. The nest material and carrier weapon are bait, but when a fish eats the bait, it needs a fishhook that is enough to catch the fish - that is, the spiritual stone that is invested for the first time to complete the spiritual enchantment!

"Look at it this way, isn't it simple and clear?" Xu Kun looked stunned.

The article also records that if you want to obtain an artifact at the lowest cost, it is best to use S-level equipment. In this case, the spiritual stones required for the first spirit enchantment may only be a few S-level spiritual stones!

After reading it, Xu Kun touched his chin and said: "Using an S-level equipment, plus some S-level spiritual stones, in exchange for an SS-level artifact, this transaction is not a loss, but it is not much profit. ah!"

Xu Kun only has five pieces of S-level equipment in his body, so he doesn't mind consuming some S-level spiritual stones to complete his first spirit enchantment!

But this kind of selection model that cannot maximize benefits has never been his favorite!

"To maximize benefits, the lower the equipment level, the more suitable it is. However, the level and quantity of spiritual stones consumed will naturally be higher!"

The carrier equipment is fishing bait, but whether it is the description in the psychic secret order or the description in the article, for the "extremely hungry" weapon spirits, the level of the bait itself does not matter, as long as it is a carrier, they will not dislike it!

It is the so-called "nesting material" - the user who uses the secret command to summon the weapon spirit, which is the key to determining how many weapon spirits can be attracted!

This means that you, the person, determines the grade of the weapon spirits you attract!

Is Xu Kun worried about this?

No worries at all!

Say it out loud, who are we?

We are the children of God's blessing and luck, so we are not afraid that the weapon spirit will not be attracted!

Then using the bait used to catch white stripes to catch grouper is also feasible in Xu Kun’s opinion!

"Artifacts are something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. It is rare to get an artifact in return by investing in fixed spiritual stones like this!"

It's like some master craftsmen who spend a huge amount of money to buy materials and spiritual stones. In the end, the casting fails, and they really lose all their money. Therefore, the spiritual stones consumed by the spirit enchantment are equivalent to a shopping trip that you sell and I buy. It's easy. And freehand!

"Since it is 100% possible to obtain artifacts, I am not someone who lacks high-grade spiritual stones. The value of S-grade equipment is not as valuable as artifacts, but I can obviously keep the S-grade equipment and use lower-grade equipment as artifact spirits. The carrier!”

This involves a key point, including the suggestion in the article that in order to reduce your spiritual stone investment, it is recommended to use higher-grade equipment as a carrier!

In this regard, Xu Kun has only one sentence: I do not accept your suggestion!

I will use low-level equipment as a carrier!

What, are you calling me stupid? There are so many spiritual stones that you are burning too much?

Hey, don’t tell me, brother, I lack everything except high-level spiritual stones!

For example, Xu Kun has a double-digit amount of SSS-level spiritual stones in his backpack. Even Qian Manlou has not told him about this. After all, according to Qian Manlou, even after searching the entire human race, there may not be any. How many SSS-level spiritual stones!

One person cannot collect the SSS-level spiritual stones needed to create an SSS-level equipment!

Under such circumstances, Xu Kun naturally understands that a man is not guilty but only carries a jade. Therefore, even if he has formed a deep friendship with Qian Manlou, it is not necessary and he will not show off the SSS-level spiritual stone!

"Which two should I use?" Xu Kun hesitated!

He doesn't wear much low-grade equipment. The B-grade hidden weapon [Locust Stone] is already ranked third from the bottom, and the D-grade rings [Soul Chasing] and [Soul Seizing] are tied for the bottom!

He had killed 25 SS before and dropped a lot of E-level equipment, but Xu Kun didn't like any of them, so he cleared them all!

"According to the article, although the grade of the carrier does not matter, it is just like fishing. The bait you put will attract more fish. The attached weapon spirit can upgrade the equipment to SS level, and the equipment will be upgraded to SS level. The original attributes are strengthened as templates!”

For example, if [Locust Stone] is used as bait, then it is naturally a weapon spirit suitable for concealed weapons!

[Soul Chasing] and [Soul Seizing] may be of low grade, but they are actually ring equipment with poison attributes!

"I quite like these two rings. They come in pairs. It's not suitable for anyone to take them apart. Although I also want an artifact and a hidden weapon, a pair of rings with poison attributes may be more suitable!"

After all, Xu Kun has a lot of poison attribute skills, and even has [Poison Soul] which adds 50% poison attribute damage!

But his own poison attack is now ranked fourth, even surpassed by the newcomer's ice attack!

Du Gong: I’m not even worthy of a mistress?

"Okay, you two little cuties, you may have never imagined in your life that you have the opportunity to advance to SS-level artifacts. Follow the right people and have a good meal. Today, I will let you reach the sky in one step!"

After making the decision, Xu Kun decisively issued the order to the [Secret Psychic Order]!

The [Secret Psychic Order] immediately opened the passage to the [Artifact Soul Pool]!

Xu Kun stepped in and found himself in chaos. This was a dimensional plane that ordinary people could not set foot on using normal methods!

According to the article, Xu Kun stretched out his arms and exuded his own aura to attract the arrival of the artifact spirit!

Whether the nest is good or not is related to the location of the fishing spot and whether the nest material is fragrant!

The [Artifact Soul Pond] opened by Xu Kun's [Secret Psychic Order] is at level 50, so it is naturally an excellent fishing spot. Fish... There are naturally many weapon spirits, covering all levels from low level to level 50. The spirit of planting equipment can be called a rich fish pond!

The smell of the nest material itself - Xu Kun, for these weapon spirits who have been hungry for who knows how many years, is even more delicious than they have ever tasted in their lives!

He didn't experience the experience in the article of making a nest for a long time before attracting one or two small fish. Only ten seconds passed after Xu Kun exuded his own aura!

With a crash, groups of light swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Xu Kun up and down, left, right, left, and right!

Xu Kun felt a chill in his body. The feeling he felt from these large and small light groups was...

These fish have green eyes!

All of them were very lively, as if they were waiting for Xu Kun's favor!

Choose me, choose me, I can sing and dance, I can be salty or sweet~

Geigei, I’ve chosen her, she’s the best~

oh? Yeah? Do you really not consider choosing me?

Look, I'm just a step too late, and you're just trying to pick a trick. After all, you paid by mistake~

Xu Kun's mind suddenly received completely different ideas from these weapon spirits!
