Chen Guan only realized after hearing Qinghua's detailed explanation that this talent, which sounds so strange, is truly terrifying.
This talent doesn't seem to have any help in combat, but in reality, it's not so simple.
This passive talent's ability is that anyone who takes advantage of Qinghua will receive corresponding retribution, and Qinghua will get double compensation.
In other words, if someone borrows one dollar from Qinghua and doesn't return it in time, they will face retribution, and then Qinghua will get two dollars.
Chen Guan wondered if someone harmed Qinghua, would that be considered taking advantage of her, and would they be affected by this talent?
Think about it, if King Ba lost to Qinghua, he would only need to hand over an Inner Core.
But now he has given more than just an Inner Core; he also gave Chen Guan a whole set of Unparalleled Secret Treasures, plus those gifts sent to Qinghua later, which was quite a lot.
If under normal circumstances, Chen Guan would only gamble one match with him for his own safety, maybe even end up giving money to King Ba.
"No wonder the Lotus Temple Master feels at ease letting Qinghua out... with this talent... who would dare to touch her..." Chen Guan muttered in his heart.
"Guan Bro, my talent is not a jinx talent, it won't harm people." Qinghua hurriedly explained.
"What jinx, this talent is amazing, whoever harms us, we'll skin them alive. If I had this talent, I would be thrilled." Chen Guan's face beamed with a sunny smile, but secretly he felt relieved: "Luckily she hadn't awakened her talent when she was young, otherwise I would have been in bad luck. Hmm, I must treat Qinghua a little better in the future."
Hearing Chen Guan say this, Qinghua let out a long sigh of relief and felt much better.
When they got off the plane, the airline even gave them a gift, saying it was an apology compensation for the harassment they suffered, and each had an opportunity to purchase plane tickets at a 90% discount once.
"This talent is indeed quite good." Chen Guan and Qinghua saw that the gifts were from very famous brand snacks and completely believed in Qinghua's talent.
After sending Qinghua back, Chen Guan took the chance to use the discount ticket opportunity to buy a discounted ticket and flew back.
On the way back, Chen Guan found a secluded spot and summoned Ming Fei to take a look at the half orb that King Ba had given.
Ming Fei took the orb and examined it carefully for a while, looking increasingly surprised: "Where did you get this thing?"
"It was a gift from someone." Chen Guan spoke the truth.
"Who gifted it? Ask them to gift me one too." Ming Fei gave Chen Guan a sidelong glance.
"What exactly is this thing?" Chen Guan lost patience with the chatter.
"This is a Secret God Core... no... to be precise... it's a half Secret God Core..." Ming Fei said.
Chen Guan instantly understood, this thing could definitely be used for a Third Awakening, using the object of a Secret God for the Third Awakening, that's definitely a huge benefit.
"What Secret God's Core is it? Can it be used for the Third Awakening?" Chen Guan asked.
"Can't tell, the core's attributes are very strange, can't figure out what attributes they are, at least I've never seen this kind of Secret God attribute before, so there's no guesses. Where exactly did you get this thing? Why is there only half?" Ming Fei countered.
"Told you it was a gift from someone, can't use half for awakening, can you?" Chen Guan said.
"No, the Inner Core, unlike other energy bodies, the Inner Core itself, how to say... can be said to be the Secret Spirit's Secret Core, also its weapon, also its ability crystal, it sits between Secret Treasure, Secret Technique, and Secret Skill. Its true name should be Secret Pill, only very few Secret Spirits will condense such things."
"Because there is a complete system within it, and the internal energy and structure have special modes of operation, so if you want to use an Inner Core for Third Awakening, you need a complete Inner Core, having only half is useless, because its structure is incomplete and has lost its function." Ming Fei detailed the use and principle of the Inner Core.
Chen Guan had already guessed this, so he wasn't disappointed.
"Do I really have to take a trip to Profound Celestial Pillar Mountain?" Chen Guan pondered quietly to himself.
If there were other choices, he wouldn't take the risk in such a place, but if he really couldn't find a suitable Third Awakening Secret Spirit, it might not be a bad idea to try.
However, it's still early for that, he's only level 11; reaching level 20, who knows how long it will take. The Secret Technique of One is great and all, but it requires too many resources, and leveling up is just too slow.
Before heading back to the outpost, Chen Guan bought gifts for Old Mo and Jiuyue to thank them for covering his shift.
Old Mo and Jiuyue were very pleased with the gifts. Actually, they only covered for Chen Guan for a day and a half, as the two days in between were originally his days off.
The outpost work was monotonous and dull, but it's exactly what Chen Guan wanted, continuously munching on elixirs to cultivate. If the elixirs didn't also need time to digest and absorb, he would have wished to buy them by the ton and funnel them down his throat.
Today Chen Guan was on a regular break, Old Mo took him fishing for Secret Spirits, mainly to teach him how to fish for them.
Having received the gifts from Chen Guan, Old Mo was exceptionally enthusiastic, he not only taught him hands-on but also imparted many secrets, even lending Chen Guan his spare rod that he didn't use.
"If you want to catch Secret Spirits, you must first know what kind of Secret Spirits exist in which sections of the Yellow Springs River. For instance, in our area, the Hooking-of-the-Soul Carp and Wandering Water Spirits are most numerous. The Wandering Water Spirits are useless, they're trash even if killed, no valuable Secret Skills or Secret Techniques, the quality is low, and the pets that come from them aren't useful, they're not worth any money."
"The Hooking-of-the-Soul Carp, on the other hand, is not the same. Although it's called the Hooking-of-the-Soul Carp, there are many types, the lowest type is the Hooking-of-the-Soul Carp, which is ordinary grade. The more rare ones are called the Ghost Fortune Carp, which are of great use, if you can get a Ghost Fortune Carp pet, keeping it with you will enhance your fortune, and even your chance of winning the lottery would be higher than others."
As Old Mo spoke, he beckoned with his hand, and a tricolored carp of black, white, and red was summoned by him, the carp swam in the air, hovering around Old Mo, apparently possessing the ability to fly.
But its speed was very slow, and it couldn't fly very high, so it wasn't really useful.
"See, this is a Ghost Fortune Carp, with it, even fishing for Secret Spirits hooks them faster than others."
Old Mo chuckled and continued: "Above the Ghost Fortune Carp, there is the rare quality Evil Fortune Carp, which is even more effective, increasing overall luck, but they're extremely rare and difficult to obtain as pets. I've been here for so many years, and I've only caught three Evil Fortune Carps in total."
