121: The Cicada's Shell and Extraordinary Talent

Breakthrough Realm, gain the right to choose entries.

One: Orange entry · Golden Cicada Shell (Consumes all spiritual power to create a Puppet identical to oneself, possessing half of one's strength, usable once a year.) No advancement.

Two: Purple entry · Mirror Flower Fate (Can help others divine Dao Companion, with a success rate of up to 90%.) No advancement.

Three: Purple entry · Illusory Sound Spiritual Body (Increases the Cultivation speed of sound-type Cultivation Technique or spell by 100%.) Can advance.

Looking at the three entry options before him, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

Each entry had a unique effect, but he could only choose one, which made it difficult for him to decide.

The Orange entry · Golden Cicada Shell, this entry could create a Puppet with half of his strength, usable once a year.

For Lin Feng, this was undoubtedly a powerful life-saving method.

In times of danger, it could give him an extra escape route.

The Purple entry · Mirror Flower Fate, on the other hand, could help others divine Dao Companion, with a success rate of up to 90%.

Although this entry did not directly help Lin Feng's personal strength improvement, in the Cultivation World, connections and resources were equally important.

With this entry, Lin Feng might be able to befriend some powerful Dao Companion, adding a boost to his Cultivation path.

And the Purple entry · Illusory Sound Spiritual Body, was a 100% increase in the Cultivation speed of sound-type Cultivation Technique or spell.

Although Lin Feng was not skilled in sound-type Cultivation Technique, who knew if he would encounter it in the future?

Moreover, this entry could advance, which meant that as Lin Feng's strength improved, the potential of this entry would also be continuously unearthed.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Feng finally chose the Orange entry · Golden Cicada Shell.

In his opinion, although Mirror Flower Fate and Illusory Sound Spiritual Body both had considerable potential, the life-saving ability of Golden Cicada Shell was more intuitive and practical.

In the Cultivation World, strength was important, but survival was the fundamental.

With the Golden Cicada Shell entry, Lin Feng could have an extra layer of protection at critical moments, which undoubtedly had important significance for his future Cultivation path.

As Lin Feng finished his selection, the entry panel simultaneously reminded him that he could also upgrade one of the entries he already possessed.

In Lin Feng's opinion, only three of the entries he already possessed were worth upgrading: Green entry: Minor Comprehension, Purple entries: 1. Heaven-Sent Ten Years: Can advance. 2. Slight Luck Infusion. Can advance.

Lin Feng pondered which entry to upgrade first.

The Heaven-Sent Ten Years entry could give him an additional ten years of Cultivation time, and for a cultivator, time was Cultivation, and time was strength.

Slight Luck Infusion, on the other hand, could give him some good luck in Cultivation and adventures, although it did not directly improve Cultivation like Heaven-Sent Ten Years.

As for the Green entry Minor Comprehension, although it was just a basic entry Lin Feng obtained in the Early Stage, it had an undeniable impact on Lin Feng's Cultivation path.

Minor Comprehension allowed Lin Feng to learn and comprehend Cultivation Technique and spells faster and more efficiently, which was undoubtedly a huge advantage for a cultivator.

Lin Feng thought that if he upgraded Minor Comprehension, he would be more adept in future Cultivation and comprehension, which would undoubtedly be of great help to him in breaking through to higher Realms.

Although Heaven-Sent Ten Years could give him an additional ten years of Cultivation time, in comparison, the improvement in Cultivation efficiency from Minor Comprehension might be more direct and significant.

As for Slight Luck Infusion, although it could bring some good luck, luck was, after all, ethereal, not as substantial as Minor Comprehension.

After careful consideration, Lin Feng finally decided to upgrade the Green entry Minor Comprehension first.

In his opinion, upgrading Minor Comprehension would allow him to walk his Cultivation path more smoothly, which undoubtedly had important significance for his future Cultivation.

As Lin Feng made his decision, the entry panel began to flash, and the green light became increasingly dazzling.

Lin Feng only felt as if a mysterious power was surging in his mind, making his thoughts more agile and clear.

He knew that this was a manifestation of Minor Comprehension being upgraded.

Lin Feng's heart was filled with anticipation; he wanted to know what height his Comprehension Ability would reach after the upgrade.

The Green entry Minor Comprehension turned into the Blue entry Exceptional Talent (Able to instantly grasp Cultivation Technique and secret arts, and comprehend skills with a single touch).

After an unknown period, the light from the entry panel gradually dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, feeling the changes in the mysterious power in his mind, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Lin Feng's entry panel also changed.

Realm: Early stage Golden Core

Gray entries: 1. Early Misfortune: Cannot advance.

Green entries: 1. Talisman Control: Can advance. 2. Drug Resistance: Cannot advance. 3. Alchemy Mastery: Can advance. 4. Weapon Crafting Mastery: Can advance.

Having advanced to the Golden Core Realm, Lin Feng took out a Magic Treasure, a flower basket, that he had obtained during an earlier adventure from his Storage Pouch and began to refine it.

This Magic Treasure, named flower basket, was a Magic Treasure that combined offense and defense.

It could be used for attack and also as a defensive measure at critical moments.

This treasure had the function of taking other people's treasures, but Lin Feng did not yet know how effective this ability would be when fighting an enemy.

Lin Feng injected his magic power into it, trying to establish a connection with it.

As time passed, Lin Feng felt as if his magic power was being continuously absorbed by the flower basket, and his mind gradually merged with this Magic Treasure.

He could clearly feel the internal structure and operating principles of the flower basket, as if it had become a part of his body.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng successfully refined the flower basket.

He tightly gripped the flower basket's incantation, silently chanting the spell.

Instantly, the flower basket emitted a dazzling light, transforming into a stream of light that circled around him.

Lin Feng felt the powerful strength brought by the flower basket, and his heart was filled with joy.

With the enhancement of this Magic Treasure, his strength would once again be greatly improved.

As a Golden Core cultivator, having only a Realm but no Magic Treasure would greatly reduce his strength, and this treasure also compensated for Lin Feng's awkwardness of not having a suitable Magic Treasure just after stepping into the Golden Core Stage.

In the Cultivation World, the importance of Magic Treasure was no less than Cultivation itself; a good Magic Treasure could often turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

The reason Lin Feng chose Artifact Refining before was that after becoming a Golden Core cultivator, the Magic Treasure held by a Golden Core cultivator could exert its maximum power only if he refined it himself.

Moreover, Magic Treasure could also advance as the master's Cultivation improved, making it more suitable for himself and easier to use than Magic Treasure obtained from the outside world.
