Chapter 13 - 11: Inheritance and Skill Stone

Jiang Nan, excited and thrilled, couldn’t help but ask, "Great God, why does the skill information say it is a Physician Inheritance Fragment?"Hang Yu pondered slightly.

Sharing this information with her was harmless.

"Simply put, this Skill Stone isn’t an independent skill; it’s one of the skill fragments that make up the Physician Inheritance. The entire inheritance may consist of three fragments. If you can collect all the fragments, although you can’t summon the Divine Dragon, you will obtain the profession title of ’Physician’, which is a low-sequence inheritance."

"Do you mean there are several Skill Stones that go along with Light Injury Healing? If I can gather all these skills, can I become a Physician?" Jiang Nan’s face turned red as she said this, feeling a bit embarrassed, she scratched her head, "I’m a bit greedy, aren’t I?"

"That’s right. If you can collect the other inheritance fragments, then you can obtain the ’Physician’ profession," Hang Yu smiled slightly and said, "At that time, the skills within the entire inheritance will be greatly enhanced, and even your own attributes will be strengthened."

Zhao Ming and Zhang Xiaoqiang were also listening attentively.

Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but think of games like poisonous milk powder, "Boss, does this mean a class change like in online games? But it seems a bit different!"

"Yes, pretty much. The Spirit Realm has countless inheritances; Physician is the lowest sequence profession in one of these inheritance sequences. You can think of it as a first-turn profession; it has second-turn, third-turn, fourth-turn, or even higher sequences afterwards."

"Each inheritance has a process of ascending from low to high sequence. Inheritances can upgrade from low to high sequence, and most different inheritance sequences can coexist compatibly."

"You can obtain the inheritance sequence starting with Physician, and you can similarly obtain inheritance sequences starting with other professions. Theoretically, the inheritance sequences and professions a person can obtain are unlimited."

"Of course, it’s difficult to craft even one good inheritance sequence, let alone pursue multiple lines simultaneously?"

So that’s how it is.

Everyone roughly understood Hang Yu’s meaning.

Hang Yu added another note, "Additionally, whether upgrading skills or oneself, it consumes Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Realm. Spiritual Qi can generally only be obtained by killing Spirit Realm creatures of different races. How much Spiritual Qi do you have now?"

Jiang Nan checked her information.

Holy Professional Level 1 (11/50), Life Energy 10, Spiritual Power 10, Skills: Dawn Goddess’s Covenant, Level 1 Light Injury Healing.

"Oh, I’ve already collected 11 points of Spiritual Qi," Jiang Nan said immediately, "It seems I can just upgrade my skill with my Spiritual Qi, should I use it to upgrade the skill immediately?"

"Obviously, isn’t it even a question? Of course upgrade the skill!" Hang Yu shrugged helplessly at Jiang Nan, "You are far from leveling up yourself, and leveling up one level does little for you. In comparison, the skill is far more useful. Directly invest your Spiritual Qi into the skill!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Nan followed suit without hesitation, extracting 10 points from the 11 points of stored Spiritual Qi to her skill. Immediately, she felt a wave of understanding expanding in her mind, and the Light Injury Healing skill smoothly upgraded.

[Light Injury Healing] (Physician Inheritance Fragment), current skill level 2, Spiritual Qi (0/100), Proficiency (0/200), consuming 2 points of Spiritual Power each time, healing designated targets within a five-meter radius, restoring 4 points of Life, cooldown 3 seconds.

Jiang Nan happily clapped her hands, "The effect is stronger now!"

Level 2 Light Injury Healing increases the consumption by 1 point of Spiritual Power, boosts Life Recovery by 2 points, and reduces skill cooldown by one second. With the effect of Jiang Nan’s Innate Skills, it restores 6 points of Life in one attempt.

"Awesome, when everyone is at Level 1, my total Life is only 10 points; using your Light Injury Healing is almost like Heavy Injury Healing, isn’t it?" Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a bit envious, "How did you get so lucky? It’s not fair!"

Jiang Nan scratched her head in embarrassment, "Yeah, I’m too lucky, I’m feeling a bit guilty!"

Hang Yu needed no saying.

Neither Zhao Ming nor Zhang Xiaoqiang was less important than her.

In the end, she obtained the most valuable Skill Stone.

Despite his envy, jealousy, and resentment, Zhang Xiaoqiang trusted that in the aftermath of this experience, staying with Hang Yu, similar gains were bound to abound, so he hurriedly said to Hang Yu: "Boss, what should we do next?"

"First activate the Resurrection Point."

Hang Yu pointed to a stele standing at the very center of the village.

Zhao Ming had already noticed this stele; he said thoughtfully, "After activating this stele, if we die in the forest, can we revive here at this fixed point?"

"Exactly. Not only does it enable fixed point revival, but only by activating the Resurrection Stele is the village truly occupied. Otherwise, goblins will continue to revive here one by one after a few days."

The stele stands eight meters high and three people can wrap their arms around it. It’s pitch black, plain and unadorned, surrounded by a mysterious aura.

It seems to have stood here since antiquity, transcending time and space.

Focusing the mind, gaze at the stele.

Relevant information about the stele appears in the mind, essentially matching Hang Yu’s words. Currently, this village remains under monster occupation, and if we leave without activating it, goblins will revive here in a few days.

If the group has already secured a decent shelter, this could theoretically be used as a fixed point for monster hunting, but under the current circumstances, such a move is clearly unsuitable.

The four people simultaneously placed their hands on the stele.

Unbelievable changes happened immediately!

The stele first radiated a glow sweeping through the entire village.

Then, like an earthquake, about ten flimsy huts made of grass and mud all collapsed and crumbled, while the surrounding wooden fences remained intact, marking out a safe zone as large as a track field.

Zhao Ming, Jiang Nan, and Zhang Xiaoqiang all felt a weight lifted from their hearts.

No monsters will spawn within the safe zone, and nearby wandering monsters generally won’t approach unless in special circumstances. Staying here marks a relatively safe place, without worrying about monster attacks.

As for where have the native goblins of Goblin Village gone?

Hang Yu had stated earlier that Spirit Realm creatures don’t die easily; these goblins will, after losing their stronghold, revive randomly in other areas of the forest as wild monsters.

At last, the sense of constant vigilance could be slightly eased!

The group’s spirits, having remained highly tense over the past seven to eight hours, suddenly relaxed, leading to a wave of fatigue.

Yet the changes didn’t cease!

With the disappearance of the goblin huts, five arrays appeared on the ground.

Steles emerged like bamboo shoots within the arrays, shorter than the central Resurrection Stele, only three to four meters high. When attention is focused on them, relevant information and feedback is obtained.

[Goblin Collection Stele]!

[Goblin Armament Stele]!

[Goblin Production Stele]!

[Goblin Decomposition Stele]!

[Goblin Storage Stele]!

"What the heck is this?!"

Jiang Nan, Zhao Ming, and Zhang Xiaoqiang were dumbfounded.

Hang Yu showed no hint of surprise, "Well, you might as well think of them as unattended stores in the camp."

In this world, fixed towns or villages or merchant NPCs don’t exist, yet various functional Spirit Realm steles abound, some of which serve a similar store function.

Each occupied gathering point will spawn Spirit Realm steles.

This provides a crucial supply location, and the materials available from different gathering points typically vary considerably, significantly influenced by the gathering point’s level, location, and environment.
