As the smoke appeared before his eyes, it suddenly dissipated.

Immediately, like a torrent, it transformed into a wealth of information, drilling into Qin An’s mind.

Qin An closed his eyes in contemplation, and within a few breaths, he mastered both professions completely.

After reaching level eighteen in the Physician profession, a new characteristic enhancing poison emerged.

This characteristic allowed Qin An to maximize the effectiveness of his poison ingredients, heightening the potency of the poison.

Let’s put this aside for now.

The focus is on talent.

All talents reached the Great Success Realm in Void Shattering, along with an added enlightenment talent for medical cultivation techniques in this realm.

This talent is akin to the talent in the Scholar profession.

While deducing protective techniques, Qin An had a chance for enlightenment due to his foundation in medical cultivation techniques.

However, the probability of this enlightenment was unknown to Qin An.

Beyond this, after reaching level eighteen in the Dancer profession, a characteristic emerged that weakened enemy battle strength. It meant that whenever Qin An danced, regardless of the number of enemies, those who saw him dance would have their battle strength diminished.

Moreover, all talents also progressed to the Great Success Realm in Void Shattering, along with an added resistance talent against body technique cultivation in this realm.

The meaning of this talent is simple: when an enemy performs body techniques, whether they involve illusions or attack types, Qin An can resist.

Qin An can weaken a significant portion of the enemy’s battle strength related to body techniques.

Whether in battle or other times, it provides significant enhancement.

For Qin An, it’s a considerable boost.

Having mastered both professions, Qin An did not linger and turned his gaze to the table.

On the table were two cultivation techniques and a large quantity of demon souls.

He exchanged merits for two Void Shattering Realm cultivation techniques and then exchanged for demon souls.

The total number of these demon souls now reached one hundred and fifty.

It seemed he had struck it rich.

After a brief consideration, Qin An didn’t hesitate and picked up the first cultivation technique.

This technique was a protective spell named Yin Yang Xuan Body.

The so-called Yin Yang Xuan Body transforms Void Essence into Yin and Yang powers, creating a coupling effect, significantly enhancing one’s cultivation techniques.

The reason Qin An chose this technique was to significantly augment his protective techniques, making it currently the most suitable cultivation technique for him.

With this thought, Qin An began to read.

After thoroughly reading this Yin Yang Xuan Body, Qin An’s Scholar profession proficiency saw a slight increase.

He fully grasped all the essentials of the Yin Yang Xuan Body.

Without pausing, Qin An sat cross-legged on the bed.

The Void Essence within him circulated according to the route of the Yin Yang Xuan Body. Within a few breaths, lines of smoke appeared before his eyes, gradually coagulating into words. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

[You cultivate the Yin Yang Xuan Body, triggering the corresponding profession talent]

[Yin Yang Xuan Body (Great Success)]

With the talent of the Great Success Realm, in just a moment, Qin An comprehensively understood the Yin Yang Xuan Body.

But this was not Qin An’s limit.

What Qin An wanted was to fuse the Nine-turn Demon Sea Aspect with this Yin Yang Xuan Body.

With this thought, Qin An paused briefly, then operated the Nine-turn Demon Sea Aspect.

A green-black aspect stood behind Qin An, enveloping him. As the aspect formed, the smoke before his eyes suddenly dissipated and transformed into new words.

[Possessing the Nine-turn Demon Sea Aspect and Yin Yang Xuan Body, you attempt to merge them into one, but due to insufficient talent, the fusion fails]

This scene did not surprise Qin An much.

Qin An paused slightly and continued to operate the Nine-turn Demon Sea Aspect, simultaneously burning the Qi blood within him.

As the Qi blood burned, a rumble echoed in Qin An’s mind.

Soon, new words appeared before him.

[After sitting silently for years, intending to burn a vast amount of Qi blood, once the blood is burned, a hint of inspiration arose in your mind]

[But this inspiration was not enough to fuse the two techniques]

"It’s not enough, then keep burning," Qin An thought to himself.

[Possessing abundant Qi blood, you feel burning part of it is insignificant, thus continue burning Qi blood]

[After burning a vast amount of Qi blood again, the inspiration in your mind gradually magnified, finally fusing the two techniques into one, creating a new technique]

[You named the new technique Nine-turn Yin Yang Demon Sea Aspect]

[Nine-turn Yin Yang Demon Sea Aspect (Great Success)]

"Boom!"

A terrifying rumble sounded, and a torrent of information about the Nine-turn Yin Yang Demon Sea Aspect flooded into Qin An’s mind.

Within a few breaths, Qin An comprehensively understood the Nine-turn Yin Yang Demon Sea Aspect.

After comprehending it, with a thought, a green-black aspect appeared behind him.

This time, the aspect was entirely different, with Yin and Yang energies flowing inside, providing a qualitative enhancement to its strength.

Qin An estimated that given the current strength of the aspect, even a Shattering Void Realm Perfection couldn’t breach its defenses.

He could even sleep while the opponent attacked and remain completely unworried.

As for the Element Transformation Realm above the Shattering Void Realm, Qin An hadn’t tried it, nor was he reckless to draw conclusions.

"Next is the body technique." Qin An paused briefly, then directed his gaze to another cultivation technique on the table.

The name of this cultivation technique is Phantom Water Formless Technique, and the so-called Phantom Water Formless Technique has an extremely prominent feature: it can be wielded underwater.

If Qin An uses the Phantom Water Formless Technique, he can fight underwater just as he would on land, without affecting his combat.

This is why Qin An chose this cultivation technique.

Last time, when dealing with the Catfish Demon, Qin An discovered his weakness. He initially considered whether to start a new profession, but then thought he might focus on body techniques instead.

Unexpectedly, today at the Evil Extermination Bureau, he found a body technique that can be used to fight underwater.

"If this gap is filled, my weakness in water will be remedied."

Without delay, Qin An began to study the Phantom Water Formless Technique.

After Qin An finished reading the entire Phantom Water Formless Technique, he immediately gained a deeper understanding of this body technique.

Then, he took a step forward, and the Void Essence within him operated according to the path of the Phantom Water Formless Technique.

As soon as the Void Essence circulated, Qin An vanished from his current place and reappeared at the doorway.

Qin An slightly shook his head and said, "This body technique seems ordinary on land, but its power in water is far beyond what I imagined."

As he thought about this, a mist appeared before him, transforming into lines of text, floating in mid-air.

[You have cultivated Phantom Water Formless Technique, triggering the Dancer Awakening Talent]

[Phantom Water Formless Technique (Great Success)]

The text shattered and transformed into information that entered Qin An’s mind.

It only took Qin An a few breaths to comprehend the Phantom Water Formless Technique.

However, Qin An did not stop, and instead began to operate the Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Shadow Wind Movement.

When the Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Shadow Wind Movement is in motion, its speed is faster than the Phantom Water Formless Technique.

As afterimages flashed through the room, the mist before him reorganized and scrambled into new text.

[You possess both the Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Shadow Wind Movement and Phantom Water Formless Technique, intending to merge them into one, but due to insufficient talent, fusion failed]

Fusion failure, not a problem.

Qin An prepared to burn a large amount of vitality.

But just as Qin An was about to burn a large amount of vitality, suddenly, the text before him twisted.

Soon after, Qin An realized that the most important talent of the Dancer profession seemed to be emerging.

Indeed, after the text twisted again, it transformed into new text.

[During years of meditation, you were preparing to burn a large amount of vitality, but unexpectedly, during those years, your understanding of both body techniques was gradually deepening]

[One day, when a breeze blew, you suddenly gained an insight, triggering the Dancer’s Epiphany Talent]

[Without expending any vitality, you fused both techniques and created a new cultivation technique]

[You named the new cultivation technique Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Profound Water Step]

[Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Profound Water Step (Great Success)]

The next moment, the text shattered into a mass of information shooting into Qin An’s mind.

Qin An felt a surge of excitement.

He never imagined he would trigger the Dancer’s Epiphany Talent and, without expending a single demon spirit, advance the Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Profound Water Step to the Great Success realm.

Once reaching the Great Success realm, the Nine-Revolutions Dragon Chant Profound Water Step not only retained its previous characteristics but also allowed Qin An to move freely underwater, more so than many aquatic demons.

Qin An felt a stir in his mind, and promptly collected all the demon spirits from the table.

"This venture didn’t lose much after all, only fifty demon spirits were expended, and the remaining hundred can be used as reserves, forming the foundation for burning vitality barehanded."

Thinking of this, Qin An pondered for a moment, devising his next plan.

"Now, only the Pill Master and Array Master professions have not reached level eighteen. These two professions don’t need to be advanced. Perhaps I can advance them to level eighteen first, wait for the next qualitative change, then go out and undertake a task, gather some accomplishments, and finally advance the Scholar Profession to level nineteen, and breakthrough to the Element Transformation Realm."

Quickly, Qin An had an idea.

Following his plan, it would only take less than half a year.

And this period of time, for a cultivator, is merely the blink of an eye.

Currently, Qin An has offended two demon factions, and he can’t go far away to take on tasks, so Qin An feels he should first upgrade all professions to level eighteen, to gain enough foundation to face danger.

Thinking of this, Qin An pondered briefly, then walked towards the outside street.

He first wants to go to the shop where the Dragon Palace is located, using the Dragon Palace’s pill furnace to practice the Pill Master profession, and then return to advance the Array Master profession to level eighteen.

Leaving the Evil Extermination Bureau, Qin An had a simple meal and followed the bustling street to the front of the Dragon Palace’s shop.

But at this moment, the Dragon Demon stationed in the Dragon Palace shop didn’t have the usual lazy look but instead had a solemn expression.

The Dragon Demon was browsing a letter, as if there was something important inside.

When Qin An stepped inside, the Dragon Demon immediately became alert, reflexively placing the letter under the table.

But when he saw Qin An, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned the letter to the tabletop.

Qin An slightly frowned, approached the Dragon Demon, and asked, "What happened? Why are you so serious?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Demon showed a trace of bitter smile: "There have been some changes in the Dragon Palace, which might affect the situation of the Dragon Palace, that’s why this little demon has this expression."

By now, when this Dragon Demon refers to himself as a little demon, he no longer feels uncomfortable.

He only feels convinced and willing.

Because the Qin An before him, in terms of strength and talent, as well as his importance to the Dragon Palace, surpasses him greatly.

Qin An frowned even deeper: "For something to make you all so serious, could it be that the Old Dragon King’s lifespan is about to run out?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Demon quickly shook his head and said: "That’s not the case, the Old Dragon King’s lifespan hasn’t run out, this time we’re so solemn because an external enemy is attacking."

Qin An rubbed his chin: "For the Dragon Palace to be so wary, could it be a superior aquatic demon?"

The Dragon Demon shook his head and said: "Mr. Qin, you are overthinking. There are many aquatic demons, but only a few can compete with the Dragon Palace, and they wouldn’t waste troops attacking the Dragon Palace. This time, the ones targeting the Dragon Palace are the Phoenix Demon Clan..."
