Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 383 - 373: Tianyuan Festival, New Mission

"It’s done."

Looking at the characters before him, Qin An’s lips curled into a slight smile.

A full fifteen demon senses were required to merge the Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber and the Four Symbols Frenzy Dragon Saber into one.

However, as long as they could be synthesized, everything was worth it.

Before him, a mass of smoke dissipated with a boom, transforming into information that flowed into Qin An’s mind.

Qin An closed his eyes in contemplation, taking just a brief moment to completely master the Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.

Upon reaching this level, the Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber not only possessed the previous ruthless saber momentum and Blood Transformation Power but also had a terrifying addition of seven-colored True Essence.

Qin An slightly raised his hand, and the Cold Star cleaved downward.

Then, the True Essence within him flowed through his arm into the blade of the Cold Star.

As a large amount of True Essence poured in, the seven-colored True Essence spread across the blade of the Cold Star.

This time, the seven-colored True Essence blazed like the sun, infinitely stronger than before.

"Just as expected."

Qin An sheathed his saber, murmuring to himself, "My method of advancing is correct; only with a cultivation technique that aligns with the seven-colored True Essence can the power of the Heart Method be fully unleashed."

Qin An felt that with this Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber, he could slay even demons of the Inner God Realm Perfection with a single stroke.

He wouldn’t even need to use the Three Blades Unification Secret Skill.

If he encountered a Half-Step Unity Realm opponent from before, he might be able to fight them even with the secret technique, without needing Liu Yi’s support.

"In the path of attack within the Inner God Realm, I am already invincible among my peers." Qin An thought for a moment and picked up a second book.

This was a book on fist techniques, named the Five Elements Fist Technique, and these elements were not Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but rather complemented the other five attributes of the Water and Fire Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand.

Like the blade skill, this cultivation technique was like chicken ribs for ordinary Mountain Patrol Generals—tasteless to eat, regrettable to discard.

But for Qin An, it was as precious as a treasure.

Qin An was slightly excited as he carefully studied the cultivation technique in his hand.

As Qin An flipped through the pages, his proficiency as a scholar grew slightly.

By the time Qin An finished the last page, he had fully grasped the essentials of the Five Elements Fist Technique.

Qin An clenched his fists and began to perform according to the pattern of the Five Elements Fist Technique.

The five types of True Essence covered his fists, and Qin An pushed his momentum to the extreme.

As soon as a set of Five Elements Fist Techniques was executed, smoke immediately appeared in front of him, twisting like a snake.

[You cultivate the Five Elements Fist Technique, triggering the corresponding talent]

[Five Elements Fist Technique (Great Success)]

In an instant, Qin An had cultivated the Five Elements Fist Technique to the Great Success Realm.

A large amount of information flooded in, but Qin An did not linger, instead transitioning to another punch, unleashing the Water and Fire Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand.

After the Water and Fire Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand was deployed, new characters immediately appeared before Qin An.

[You possess the Water and Fire Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand and the Five Elements Fist Technique, intending to merge them into one, but unfortunately, your talent is insufficient, and the fusion fails]

[You sat in despair for years, intending to burn your internal vitality and blood. After burning a large amount of vitality and blood, a spark of inspiration emerged in your mind, though it was insufficient to merge the two]

[You gritted your teeth, sat in despair again for years, and burned a large amount of vitality and blood again. This time, the spark of inspiration continuously expanded]

[Finally, you gained enlightenment, merging the two into one, and named the new cultivation technique the Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand]

[Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand (Great Success)]

As soon as the last line of characters appeared, they boomed out with a crash, transforming into a large amount of information that transmitted into Qin An’s mind.

Qin An merely closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment and successfully comprehended all the essentials of the Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand.

After attaining the level of the Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand, Qin An not only possessed the Blood Burning Power and Sealing Power but also had the ability to harness the seven-colored True Essence.

Qin An launched his punches quickly, leaving a series of terrifying fist shadows in the air.

On the fist shadows, the seven-colored True Essence was densely packed, blazing like the sun.

Each type of True Essence was pushed to the limit by Qin An.

If there were others present, witnessing Qin An’s fist techniques, they would undoubtedly be filled with fear.

For every punch Qin An threw carried a terrifying power that could intimidate even those of the Inner God Realm Perfection.

Qin An withdrew his fists and stood still, calming the True Essence within him after a moment, murmuring to himself, "Although in normal times the attack of the Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand does not compare to the Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber, using the Blood Burning Secret Skill can make its power far surpass the Seven Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber."

Both cultivation techniques were pushed by Qin An to Great Success of the Inner God Realm, even though the other techniques still remained at the initial comprehension of the Inner God Realm; it was enough for Qin An in terms of the Power of Attack.

At least within the Inner God Realm, no one could withstand his blade or fist.

"For now, refrain from taking any tasks; there are other matters to attend to."

Qin An pondered briefly, then reached into his clothes and pulled out an object.

It was a dragon scale glowing faintly with a mystical aura under the light.

Not long ago, a Mountain Patrol Silver General passed by the Evil Extermination Bureau, found Qin An, handed him the dragon scale, and informed him that it was from Green Luo.

Qin An only needed a brief observation to ascertain that this was the reverse scale of a true dragon.

And he needed no guesswork to know that the one who gave him the true dragon’s reverse scale was undoubtedly Long Tianxing from the ancient battlefield ruins.

Qin An examined the dragon scale, pondering, "Long Tianxing has already made contact with Green Luo, but Green Luo shows no signs, probably plotting a big plan, but this plan has nothing to do with me for now."

Even though he elevated both cultivation techniques to Great Success of the Inner God Realm, Qin An still had a long way to go before reaching the Unity Realm.

The power dynamics within Xunyang Prefecture were extremely complex; even a Mountain Patrol Silver General faced constant dangers.

Only by reaching the level of a Mountain Patrol Golden General could one establish a foothold.

Thus, Qin An knew that his current focus was not on those secrets potent enough to shake Xunyang Prefecture, but rather on improving himself.

"Time to visit the blacksmith." Qin An got up and walked out the door, heading toward the blacksmith, enjoying the sunny weather.

The Cold Star had not been reforged for quite some time. With the blacksmith profession reaching the Great Success Realm and having this dragon scale, Qin An planned to integrate it into the Cold Star, which would enhance his blade skills to a new level.

Soon, Qin An’s figure vanished at the end of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Many Prefecture Generals watched Qin An’s retreating figure, convinced that soon another bloodstorm would sweep through Xunyang Prefecture.

...

Inside the blacksmith shop, the furnace was blazing, with heat roasting everything in the room.

If an ordinary person came in, they would fall to the ground from heatstroke in just a few breaths.

Even the blacksmith shop owner did not dare to stay inside at this moment, fearing the scorching heat might harm him.

Qin An stood inside the blacksmith shop, his whole body surging with True Essence, completely resisting the high temperature.

In front of him, the forge fire was burning vigorously.

The Cold Star had already been thrown in by Qin An, but the dragon scale was held in his hand, not thrown into the furnace.

This dragon scale was extremely tough, being the reverse scale of Long Tianxing, and ordinary high temperatures were not enough to melt it.

Therefore, Qin An had to employ the heart refining method of a Level Fourteen blacksmith.

After some time, when the Cold Star in the furnace turned slightly red, Qin An took it out and placed it on the iron anvil, carefully hammering it.

With each strike from Qin An, sparks would occasionally fly up.

But every strike made the spirituality of the Cold Star more concentrated.

About a stick of incense’s time later, Qin An stopped hammering, and after a simple quenching, he took out the dragon scale from his left hand.

The dragon scale gleamed with a warm luster in his palm.

Qin An raised his hand and pressed it onto the Cold Star’s blade, the seven-colored True Essence emerged, and he poured it madly into the dragon scale along his fingers.

As the seven-colored True Essence flooded in, Qin An used his blacksmith talent to let the True Essence pierce into the dragon scale like silver needles.

After the True Essence pierced through, the dragon scale suddenly melted, becoming a beam of light filled with Evil Qi, surging into the Cold Star.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Level Fourteen blacksmith, capable of breaking free from material constraints with the heart refining method.

As the dragon scale fused in, Qin An continued without pause, picked up the hammer beside him, and continued to pound the Cold Star.

Moments later, the temperature of the Cold Star dropped rapidly.

Qin An picked up the Cold Star and examined it closely.

At this moment, the Cold Star emanated a trace of Evil Qi, and both its sharpness and toughness had greatly improved compared to before.

It had also undergone a new qualitative change.

Bursts of dragon roar emanated from the Cold Star.

Qin An could feel as if the Cold Star was greeting him.

"This is spirituality."

In an instant, a revelation came to Qin An’s mind.

A Level Fourteen blacksmith can imbue spirituality into creations, and with the effect of the dragon scale, the spirituality was being amplified.

Qin An seemed to sense another consciousness gradually being born inside the Cold Star.

Once this consciousness emerged, it immediately noticed Qin An, and it seemed to want to get close to Qin An, as if Qin An were its closest person.

The Cold Star was forged by his own hands and had been reforged countless times.

The spirituality within it had also been reforged countless times.

Saying Qin An created it with his own hands is not an exaggeration.

Showing closeness to him was only natural.

However, it would take a long road before this consciousness could grow strong.

"That is to say, if I really want this spiritual consciousness to communicate with me, I need to reforge it many more times or further enhance my blacksmithing profession." Qin An mused as he stroked the blade.

He had once speculated whether, as he advanced as a blacksmith, he could forge a saber maiden, like in novels from his past life.

Now, it seemed that this speculation was indeed very likely.

However, truly achieving the kind of communicative spirituality seen in novels from his previous life would require further enhancement.

With this in mind, Qin An sheathed the blade, carefully rubbed the handle of the Cold Star, and walked out of the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop owner had long been waiting outside, and upon seeing Qin An come out, he respectfully stood aside without speaking.

Qin An thought for a moment and tossed over a pouch of money: "The expenses for materials and usage during this period are all in there."

The blacksmith owner respectfully accepted it, watching Qin An leave before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

...

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Qin An returned to his residence at the Evil Extermination Bureau.

This time, Qin An did not continue cultivating other professions, but instead took out the silver-patterned token at his waist, planning to see if there were any suitable tasks.

With this recent enhancement and the consumption of demon knowledge, Qin An had only fifteen demon knowledges left.

The achievements were also nearly exhausted.

After all, last time with Liu Yi, although they exterminated the Qian family patriarch, they didn’t accept any task, so no achievements were gained.

To advance, one needs not only proficiency in cultivation but also deduction.

And the demon knowledge and cultivation techniques required for deduction need to be exchanged with achievements.

Therefore, Qin An did not intend to waste time and thought about taking tasks to enhance achievements first.

With that in mind, Qin An’s heart stirred, and the silver-patterned token immediately flashed with a glow.

Subsequently, a task list visible only to Qin An floated in mid-air.

Qin An rubbed his chin, carefully filtering through.

He was looking for a task with sufficient achievement points and not far from Xunyang Prefecture.

This way, he could gain substantial achievements and save time on commuting.

The task selection was extremely complex.

But with Qin An’s current strength, scanning rapidly was a simple matter.

After about a stick of incense’s time, a task appeared before Qin An.

Qin An raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the task in front of him, and reached out to accept it.

"This task... is quite interesting."

After Qin An accepted the task, the details of it floated in front of him. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

[With the approaching Tianyuan Festival, the Tianyuan Pseudo-God will appear. Successfully hold the Tianyuan Festival to protect the people of Creek State.]

[If any demon pseudo-god appears, slay them all.]

Looking at the words in front of him, Qin An rubbed his chin, thinking to himself: "The Tianyuan Festival is indeed a very special holiday. It seems Xunyang Prefecture is about to experience a small wave of chaos."
