I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 111 - 92: New Divine Power Level 3, Sacrifice (2)

Chapter 111: Chapter 92: New Divine Power Level 3, Sacrifice (2)

"So what should we do? Are we just supposed to wait like this?"

"I don’t know either. This is my first mission, too. Brother Shen, what do you think?"

Huang Guang and Kong Fang discussed it back and forth without reaching a conclusion, so they turned to look at Shen Bai.

Since their return, Shen Bai had been circulating the Qi in his body. He was toying with a ball of green light in his hand as if it were a plaything.

The green light gave off a soothing warmth, putting one’s mind at ease.

Neither Huang Guang nor Kong Fang knew what it was, but having worked their way up from the bottom, they both understood social etiquette and knew better than to pry into someone else’s affairs.

Now that their discussion had proven fruitless, they finally asked.

Shen Bai stopped what he was doing and said, "Actually, you’ve been forgetting the Observatory’s ultimate goal."

Huang Guang froze for a moment, then asked, "What goal?"

Shen Bai said, "Resolving the anomaly is our ultimate goal."

"Since an anomaly has appeared here, we can wait a little longer and resolve it when it shows up."

"Anyone with eyes can see there’s something off about this village. While we’re waiting to resolve the anomaly, we might find some clues, so there’s no rush for now."

"As long as we’re here, that’s enough."

As Shen Bai spoke, looks of sudden realization dawned on the other two men’s faces.

It was just as Shen Bai had said; resolving the anomaly was the top priority.

Something was wrong with the village. New clues might surface after the anomaly appears. After all, the root of all this lay not only in the Kitchen God Festival but also in the appearance of this anomaly.

With Shen Bai’s answer, the two stopped talking and retired to their respective rooms.

Shen Bai also returned to his room and continued to grind the Skill Level of his Rejuvenation Technique.

The night gradually passed.

...

The night passed without incident.

When morning came, Shen Bai retracted the green light in his hand, took a Qi and Blood Pill from within his robes, and swallowed it.

A wisp of smoke appeared before his eyes, eventually coalescing into text.

[Rejuvenation Technique Level 2 (Healing +2, Recovery +2): 1000/1000]

[Can undergo a qualitative transformation with one wisp of Evil Qi]

After a full night of grinding, Shen Bai had maxed out his Rejuvenation Technique at Level 2. All he needed was a single wisp of Evil Qi to trigger a qualitative transformation.

Upon reaching Level 2, his Rejuvenation Technique gained the Recovery Attribute.

This Attribute enhanced his natural healing rate for injuries. When combined with the Healing Attribute, the effect was doubled.

’Besides, even without active healing, my own recovery rate is already pretty impressive,’ Shen Bai thought.

Now, he intended to expend a wisp of Evil Qi and push his Rejuvenation Technique through its first qualitative transformation.

Since he had reached the threshold and had the Evil Qi to spare, Shen Bai certainly wasn’t going to let the opportunity go to waste.

At this thought, Shen Bai activated the Evil Qi within his body.

As a wisp of Evil Qi disappeared, the smoke before Shen Bai’s eyes began to distort.

Before long, the smoke, which had been twisting like a serpent, gradually coalesced into new text that materialized in mid-air.

[Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill Level 3 (Healing +4, Recovery +4, Antitoxic +4): 0/5000]

When the Rejuvenation Technique transformed into the Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill, a phantom image once again appeared in Shen Bai’s mind.

The phantom image was sitting cross-legged on a cliff’s edge, where winds as sharp as blades howled relentlessly.

A terrifying green light erupted from the phantom’s body.

The green light shot skyward, a massive pillar connecting heaven and earth, and shattered the clouds above.

From within the shattered clouds, streams of multi-colored smoke emerged, carrying a terrifying toxicity as they swept toward the phantom image.

Yet, the moment the kaleidoscopic smoke touched the green light enveloping the phantom, it vanished without a trace.

Beneath the green light, no poison could even touch it.

Slowly, the green light dissipated.

The phantom image blurred from clarity into obscurity, then vanished completely.

Shen Bai opened his eyes. He had now completely mastered the Divine Power known as the Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill.

"All poisons retreat, all things are rejuvenated."

’Although this Divine Power doesn’t increase my combat strength,’ Shen Bai thought, ’as a support skill, it might even surpass Shadow Walk.’

On top of Healing and Recovery, this new Antitoxic Attribute was an absolute godsend.

What’s the most feared thing when you’re out in the Jianghu? It’s all the underhanded, dirty tricks.

The Jianghu isn’t some martial arts tournament; there’s no such thing as fair and square.

People will resort to endless tricks to kill their enemies, and poison is the most common of all.

They can poison your food. They can poison your water.

Worse still, they can mix it into a gust of wind, making it impossible to guard against.

Now, with the Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill, Shen Bai felt he had significantly shored up his defenses against poison.

’So, I’m getting closer and closer to becoming a hexagon warrior.’

’Am I even still human?’

Shen Bai rubbed his chin. After a moment’s thought, he tossed the idea aside.

’Who cares about being human these days? As long as you’re strong, that’s all that matters, right?’

Having gained a new Divine Power and covered a major weakness, Shen Bai felt a sense of profound satisfaction.

He stretched, then walked out of his room.

Outside, Huang Guang and Kong Fang were already waiting for him.

"Brother Shen, shall we go out and have a look?" Huang Guang asked.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Since we’re already here, it might be fun to see how the villagers of the Sealed Village live."

Kong Fang clenched his fist and said, "Brother Shen, you really think differently from us. You’ve got a real knack for finding pleasure in the middle of work, hahaha."

The group chatted as they walked out the main gate.

The mountain air had a distinct, refreshing quality all its own.

Morning had come, and the villagers were beginning their day. Many could be seen carrying farm tools, hurrying toward the fields.
