404: Taoist profession

Chapter 404: Taoist Profession

Oh?

Lu Ran's eyes lit up instantly, and he perked up.

An SSS+ reward!

If it was experience, with a hundredfold increase, he would definitely be soaring!

If it was something else, like equipment, it would at least be Saint-grade!

Of course.

It could also be other rewards.

Anyway, this reward level is determined by the world's rules, so it can't be wrong!

It definitely won't be shabby!

Thinking of this.

Lu Ran excitedly opened the information prompt to check.

Sure enough.

There was already a task reward prompt.

"Congratulations, you have received the reward: Unlocking the Second Profession."

Huh?

Lu Ran was stunned. The reward was simply written, but the content was extremely explosive!

Unlock a second profession?

Does a second profession even exist in this world?

He had never heard of it!

It is well known that after the world was digitized, everyone could awaken their own profession.

But once awakened, whatever profession it was, it remained that profession.

Even if you were too lazy to level up and left it alone, you couldn't abandon or change it.

Of course.

There had never been a second profession, and the concept itself didn't even exist!

Even those hidden professions had never heard of a second profession existing.

Thinking of this.

Lu Ran hurriedly opened his profession skill panel.

Upon seeing it.

Lu Ran was a bit confused.

There was actually an extra section on the skill panel!

It was identical to the Undead Mage panel, but...

It was blank!

What about skills?

Since a second profession was unlocked, what about skills?

What kind of second profession is it without skills?

And the profession written above the second profession panel was... Taoist!

There really was such a profession!

Moreover, it seemed that although a second profession was unlocked, a second attribute panel did not appear.

After all, a person's physical attribute is how much health they have; there couldn't be a second set.

But what puzzled Lu Ran was that there was nothing on the skill panel!

So what was this second profession all about?

Just then.

Lu Ran saw a prompt on the skill panel: "Currently no skills obtained."

Seeing this.

Lu Ran, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

This at least indicated that skills could be obtained; it was just that this second profession's system was different from the Undead Mage's.

Undead Mage was Lu Ran's innate profession, requiring leveling up to unlock skills.

But the skills for this second profession, Taoist, needed to be acquired.

It was just that Lu Ran didn't know how to acquire them yet.

But that didn't matter.

At least they could be obtained, rather than being truly blank with nothing.

"What's with that expression? What's wrong?" Cen Yu Nuo asked, puzzled.

After speaking.

She looked around.

She was a smart girl after all, and immediately guessed.

So she asked, "The quest is complete? The first stage of the quest is complete? What's the reward?"

It was clear that Cen Yu Nuo was also very curious about what the SSS+ reward was.

"Mm, it's done. The reward is a second profession," Lu Ran said with a strange expression.

Then.

He recounted his discovery to Cen Yu Nuo.

After speaking.

Lu Ran suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can't you see my panel?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot," Cen Yu Nuo said, slapping her forehead.

Then.

She stared at Lu Ran.

He didn't know how she was seeing it, or what form it took.

A few seconds later.

Cen Yu Nuo said, puzzled, "Although I am also a Taoist, my Taoist arts and Taoist magic are things from my past life that are attached to my memory, so they haven't been digitized. But your Taoist profession seems to have been digitized. It's just a shame that you don't have any Taoist magic yet, and haven't acquired any skills."

Well, she really could see it.

Lu Ran hadn't explained it in such detail.

He had only told her that he had acquired the Taoist profession.

It seemed.

In front of Cen Yu Nuo, nothing could be hidden; Cen Yu Nuo could see it directly!

Bizarre!

Truly bizarre!

How did he even get connected with Cen Yu Nuo?

"I don't know how to acquire them. How do you Taoists learn Taoist magic?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"What do you mean 'you Taoists'? Aren't you a Taoist now too?" Cen Yu Nuo muttered.

Uh...

Lu Ran awkwardly scratched his head.

He said, "That's true, but my Taoist profession is digitized, and I don't know anything yet. See, I don't even have Taoist magic, so how can I be called a Taoist?"

Cen Yu Nuo pouted.

She said, "That's true, yours is a bit strange."

After speaking.

Cen Yu Nuo recalled.

She said, "According to our methods, normally, becoming a Taoist and learning Taoist magic is a very complex process. It requires initiation, receiving the ordination, setting up an altar, and circulating qi. This process is very long. One Taoist art, one talisman, takes at least several months. Of course, this is within our Three Mountains Talisman system. As for other sects of Taoism, they are all different, and the process of learning Taoist magic is also varied and strange. But one thing is certain: it is all an extremely complex and lengthy process."

Furthermore.

Cen Yu Nuo stared at Lu Ran again for a long time.

She said, "Your Taoist profession is very strange; it doesn't state which lineage it belongs to, or which lineage's Taoist magic you're cultivating."

Because it's important to know that...

The various sects of Taoism have different traditions.

The differences in Taoist magic are also huge!

In short, a Taoist itself is not a specific profession, but a category.

Just like a Mage, a Mage itself is not a specific profession, but a huge category.

Elemental Mages, Spatial Mages, and even Undead Mages, etc., are all included.

The same goes for Taoists.

Lu Ran's second profession, isn't it too broad?

"So if that's the case, I still need to determine which lineage I want to learn? But it hasn't given me the opportunity or method to choose," Lu Ran said, puzzled.

Cen Yu Nuo pondered for a few seconds.

She said in surprise, "Or, you can learn any Taoist magic? As long as you acquire Taoist magic, you can learn it?"

Speaking of this.

Cen Yu Nuo herself was startled.

She added, "If that's truly the case, then you'd be defying the heavens! With one person's power, combining all the Taoist traditions, I don't even know what the outcome would be. You'd practically become a living immortal!"

Lu Ran was confused.

He shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know then. Right now, I don't even know how to acquire Taoist magic. If the learning process is really that long, then I probably won't even bother."

Because it's useless.

Lu Ran was already invincible now.

The Undead Army could also suppress everything.

Although his offensive methods were few, Blood Spear's charge could also instantly kill any single target.

If the learning process for Taoist magic was too troublesome and difficult, Lu Ran really wouldn't bother.

If it takes several months to learn one skill.

Then who would be willing to learn it?

"No, no, no, you're different from orthodox Taoists. Orthodox Taoists need to learn, but you're digitized, so it might not be the same," Cen Yu Nuo analyzed.

After speaking.

She suddenly pulled out a talisman paper, drew on it, and then handed it to Lu Ran.

She said, "Take this and see if it's useful."

Lu Ran asked, "What is this?"

Cen Yu Nuo said, "A talisman, the Shenxiao Tianpeng Curse."
