Chapter 9: Wang Tao's Ambition
Proceed with caution, although there are fewer ferocious beasts during the day, it is still necessary to be cautious! Wang Tao did not disturb any ferocious beasts and hid in another tree hole not far from where he had just escaped.
"First synthesize the spiritual material! I heard that some spiritual materials can directly increase physical strength after taking them, although it feels a bit wasteful, but now it's the only way to enhance our actual strength!"
Soon, Wang Tao synthesized another second-rate medicinal material, which was Hemostatic Grass. Next would be synthesizing spiritual materials!
"The hemostatic grass can be refined into a wound-healing medicine, but it doesn't have much of an effect on improving physical quality. It's mainly used for healing wounds. On the other hand, wild mountain spine is a pretty good medicine for enhancing physical quality, especially when it reaches three-star spiritual material level - it's very rare! The medicinal effect shouldn't be too bad... After weighing his options for a while, Wang Tao chose wild mountain spine as the main medicine for synthesis!"
Two rare medicinal herbs, both of which were red synthetic products, required 10 points of spiritual power to synthesize this time. This was beyond Wang Tao's initial expectation of 5 points of spiritual power. However, because the previous synthesis used the heart of an ancient tree, it saved a lot of spiritual power and still had 43 points left, which was enough!
Two pieces of medicinal herbs were placed according to the expected procedure, and then the teeth were clenched and touched lightly to confirm synthesis!
The two medicinal herbs were both absorbed into the system's black hole, but this time was different. The two whirlpools did not immediately merge into one, but instead gradually changed color from gray to red. After nearly two minutes, when the two placement points had completely transformed into red, the two whirlpools suddenly emitted a burst of red light, and in an instant merged into one. A small grass with five pale green leaves emitting a soft blue glow appeared before Wang Tao's eyes - it was indeed a spiritual herb, 'Wild Mountain Ridge'!
"The success rate of synthesizing the red material is only 50%, I didn't expect it to succeed on the first try!" Wang Tao had already prepared himself for failure, even if he failed, he still had 33 points of spiritual power left, which meant he could still attempt to synthesize the spirit material twice more. However, since it succeeded on the first try, Wang Tao was naturally extremely delighted.
This time, Wang Tao learned from the previous lesson and did not immediately take out the spiritual material. The attraction of three-product spiritual material is absolutely stronger than that of two-product medicinal material, so he must be careful! He held up the prepared plant juice in front of his chest, and instantly took out the spiritual material and poured it all over it. The strange fragrance and light of the spiritual material were slightly revealed but had already been retracted.
Having seen it was already processed, Wang Tao hastily went to appraise it!
Wild Mountain Ridge (Orange, can be synthesized): Type: Precious Medicine
Year: 1455 or later than 1456
Evaluation: Third-class goods
With this spiritual material in hand, Wang Tao was excited beyond himself, but on the surface, he didn't show much change and instead began to calculate his gains and losses.
"First, the power of the synthesis system has been confirmed, and the consumption of synthesis has also been roughly determined!" Wang Tao carefully put the spiritual materials into his cloth bag, his mind quickly turning over. "White synthesis only requires a little spiritual power, while red requires ten points, that is to say it's ten times more. If it's under these conditions, orange synthesis should require one hundred points of spiritual power! Right now I don't have that much spiritual power, so for the time being, I won't consider it."
Wang Tao silently recited a phrase in his mind, and a panel appeared before his eyes!
Synthetic system
Synthetic System Rank: One Star (17/500) (0.5m)
Synthetic System Reputation: 0
Synthesis item drop rate: White items 100%, Red items 50%, Orange items 30%, Yellow items 10% (All synthesized items have a 0.1% chance of mutation!)
Synthetic item restrictions: Item size must not exceed system size.
Synthetic item introduction: 1. You can put a certain amount of items, no more than the size of the synthesis interface, into the system synthesis interface, divided into primary and secondary items! (Note: Cannot synthesize living things!)
Two, success, secondary items disappear, primary item attributes enhanced!
Three, failure, all items disappear!
Four, items synthesized with variation may be good or bad, handle with care!
Five, after synthesis is successful, you can get a certain amount of synthesis experience and synthesis reputation according to the value of the synthesized item!
Six, synthesis experience can be used to upgrade the synthesis system level and increase the size of the synthesis panel! (Note: Upgrading the synthesis system level requires completing the upgrade task!)
Seven, Synthesis Reputation can be used to exchange for items in the Synthesis Store! (Note: Reputation requires synthesizing items to gain recognition from other cultivators!)
8, can decompose items below grade! (Note: The lowest level of decomposition item is 2 stars!)
System possesses spiritual power: 33/100
Synthetic System Skills: 【Appraisal】: Skill Level: 0 (64/10000)
Skill effect: Can identify all items within the level limit.
Skill Introduction: This is a built-in skill of the synthesis system, with an incredible appraisal function!
Looking at the panel in front of him, Wang Tao muttered to himself: "I still have 33 points of spiritual energy left, my synthesis experience has increased by 17 points, and my appraisal level experience has increased by 64 points! Appraisal experience should be gained one point per item appraised, and synthesis experience is the same, only higher-level syntheses gain more experience! The only trouble is that spiritual energy. For now, there's no way to obtain it, so it's a consumable resource, and every time I use it up, I'll have less, so I must use it in the most suitable place!"
As he thought of this, Wang Tao arrived at the tree hole and looked up at the sky covered by the treetops. A thing called ambition began to sprout in his heart!
"I, Wang Tao, have crossed over into this strange and wondrous world. I never intended to live a peaceful life anyway, so now that I'm here, I'll make a big splash and achieve something! Even if someone dares to block my way, I swear to blast them away! Even if I fail, I won't regret it! How can I be content without trying? Now with this mysterious synthesis system, given time, no one will be able to stop me! Avenging Xiao Gouzi and fulfilling my wish is just the first step..."
"Fate, let the entire world tremble for me, Wang Tao! Let all life tremble for me, Wang Tao! May my name, Wang Tao, be etched in eternity, may my body, Wang Tao, be forged into perpetuity, and may my soul... shake the heavens and ten thousand realms!"
"Rumble rumble... Zap! Ka ka ka ka... Rumble!"
With Wang Tao's earth-shattering words and resolute determination, the sky suddenly thundered with a loud clap, and a thick, straight purple lightning bolt descended, striking a giant ancient tree not far in front of him. In an instant, the giant tree crashed down, revealing a long-lost sky to his eyes!
"Is it the Dao's oath or Heaven's wrath? I never thought that an ancient rumor from a mountain village would actually be true..." Wang Tao silently gazed at the vast sky, muttering to himself. His heart, however, was filled with doubts about that mountain village.
Wang Tao felt that the impression of the mountain village was starting to become vague, as if it no longer existed, just a past, an illusion. But had it really ceased to exist? Wang Tao didn't know...
