Chapter 563: Chapter 326: 8 Professions

[Talent Acquired: Poison Expert (Ordinary) >> Divine Level Poison Calamity]

[Immune to all poisons. Afflict everything you touch with a virulent poison. The poison’s effect is equivalent to the sum of the toxicity of all potions you have consumed. The side effects of all potions are considered poison.]

[After the poison is purified, cleansed, or neutralized, it will spontaneously regenerate and adapt to the previous purification effect.]

’This time, the Talent is poison?’

Lu Cang was quite fond of poisoning people.

Poisoning was a very simple way to kill, without needing to fight personally.

Of course, there was also his ability to see another’s Date of Death, which also didn’t require combat. ℯℯ𝘭.

It was just that some enemies’ Dates of Death were too far in the future.

However, the focus of this Talent wasn’t just poisoning. The immunity to all poisons was also quite useful.

’Especially the part about all potion side effects being considered poison. That means I can ignore the side effects of any potions I develop in the future...’

’And what’s more, those side effects can be converted into poison to afflict other things.’

[Level 3 Alchemist Professional Mastery—Refined Medicinal Properties: Able to extract medicinal properties from a wider range of materials.]

[Level 3 Alchemist Professional Mastery—Magic Potion: When concocting potions with Magic, can greatly increase the potion’s efficacy.]

Of these two Professional Masteries, Refined Medicinal Properties was more useful.

’Magic Potion, however, seemed mediocre. Transforming my potions toward ultimate perfection already provides the greatest possible efficacy.’

THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP—

After awakening this Talent, Lu Cang immediately opened seven bottles of potions in a row.

He started by trying the one with the least toxicity.

This one bottle was enough to poison a Tier Five Nation Destruction Level Demon to death.

GULP~

As the potion went down, he felt a burning heat.

In truth, even without this Talent, poison had little effect on Lu Cang, as his own Recovery Ability was enough to make him immune to most toxins.

After drinking the entire bottle of poison, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

He only felt a pleasant warmth in his stomach.

At the same time, Lu Cang could feel that he could now condense toxins on the surface of his body.

Lu Cang raised his hand, and a ball of water formed in his palm.

Immediately after, the ball of water turned a faint purple.

It had been infused with poison.

The poison was corrosive—so corrosive it could melt through the hard carapaces and bodies of Demons.

Lu Cang casually tossed it aside.

The ball of ordinary water flew into the distance.

SIZZLE, SIZZLE, SIZZLE, SIZZLE—

The virulent liquid burned countless holes in the earth and, where it splashed onto trees, caused them to instantly wither and die.

’So it really can be infused with poison.’

"Lu Luwei, could you please move back a bit? I want to try an idea... Hmm, up in the sky should be fine."

It seemed Lu Cang had learned something new again.

However, destroying a single tree and a few patches of ground was mere child’s play for Lu Cang.

Lu Luwei wasn’t particularly impressed.

Lu Luwei rose into the air.

Lu Cang, meanwhile, crouched down and touched the ground.

WHOOSH—

A grayish-purple color instantly spread out across the land with Lu Cang at its center. He could feel the poison spreading, seeping into the very earth.

THUD—

THUD—

His Perception allowed him to see into the distance.

In the mountains and Forest, he saw animals and Demons collapse one after another...

Merely by touching the ground,

they were poisoned and died.

Ten kilometers, a hundred kilometers, a thousand kilometers, ten thousand kilometers...

As the poison spread, Lu Cang felt that the farther he tried to extend it, the more effort and Time it took.

’Theoretically, I should be able to spread the poison across the entire Miselux Continent.’

’No...’

’I should be able to expand it infinitely, to any corner of the world.’

’But the Time required would be unimaginably long.’

The earth, acting as the carrier for the poison, showed no signs of dissolving, even though it would have normally melted from just a drop of the poisoned water.

Then...

A thought crossed Lu Cang’s mind.

With a single thought, the poison covering the vast expanse of land was completely withdrawn, fully neutralized...

But even though the poison was gone,

all the living creatures, Demons, flowers, and trees that had touched it remained withered and dead, the damage irreversible.

Lu Cang then proceeded to down the remaining bottles of poison.

Before this, Lu Cang hadn’t researched poisons extensively.

The poisons he had were mostly ready-made, either purchased from other Alchemists or commissioned from them.

They were mostly the purest form of life-draining toxins.

Their primary function was to destroy an enemy’s Life Force, with a few having Curse-like properties.

After drinking these last few bottles of poison,

Lu Cang condensed a small, purplish-black droplet on his fingertip.

’My poison should now have an extremely lethal effect on a Level 7 Reincarnator.’

’Poisons like this can also significantly shorten a Date of Death.’

’By combining poison with "The Inevitable End of Death"...’

’...the two together will let me kill without a trace, and much faster, too.’

HUUUFF—

At the same time, wind, Thunder, water, and Fire rose and flickered behind Lu Cang.

Each type of Magic was laced with lethal toxins, and Lu Cang now fully understood how to use this Talent.

’From now on, when I’m refining potions, I can ignore most of the side effects.’

’Performing Alchemy without having to worry about side effects removes so many limitations.’

"And now... for Blacksmith and Enchanter."

’Uncle Ai Jin, you’re leveling up too slowly. I don’t think I can wait for you anymore.’

’By the time Ai Jin advances to a Level 7 Enchanter, I probably won’t even need Tier Seven weapons anymore.’

’Besides, Ai Jin can’t follow me around all the time.’

’And who knows if I’ll even be able to find a reliable Enchanter during my travels.’

’I’d better just rely on myself.’

’The ultimate goal of taking these two Professions is to obtain the "Creator" Profession.’

After obtaining the Prophet Profession, Lu Cang realized just how powerful these unique Secret Scroll Professions were; at the very least, the Talents they provided were incredibly strong.

Even among other Divine Talents, the Divine Talent from a unique Profession was even more capable of transcending the Rules.

"Flame, rise. Iron, melt."

"I shall melt iron to water, and beat it into sharp blades and heavy armor."

Lu Cang chanted the initiation prayer for the Blacksmith Profession.

He felt a warm current flow through him.

A wealth of knowledge related to smithing naturally surfaced in his mind.

’The Level 1 Profession change is simple. I’m now a Level 1 Blacksmith.’

"Imbue matter with mystery, and grant spirit to the arcane."

"I shall walk the path of the Enchanter, and grant all matter its own unique Mystical Technique."

VMMMM—

Lu Cang felt a mysterious power envelop him. A strange sensation, similar to but distinct from Magic, formed within his body.

’I’ve become a Level 1 Enchanter, too.’

Watching this from the sky, Lu Luwei couldn’t help but sigh again.

’He really did it.’

’Lu Cang is now a Reincarnator with eight Professions at the same time.’

’His professional makeup is, to put it mildly, a bit complicated.’
