Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 627 - 581: Butcher and Blacksmith: Qualitative Transformation

As these words came out, Qin An fell silent immediately.

The demands he made were actually very high, after all, Demon Profound was not ordinary goods.

Each Demon Profound represented a demon in the Tripod Aspiration Realm, and the number of such demons in the entire Celestial Cloud Path was not many.

Yet now, the Third Prince directly told him that he could just list everything he needed, meaning he had enough Demon Profound to meet Qin An’s needs.

This surprised Qin An; even the Evil Extermination Bureau viewed Demon Profound as a treasure, but the Third Prince didn’t seem to care much about it.

Indeed, as a royal, his family background was truly wealthy.

Qin An tapped his fingertip lightly on the table and said, "I don’t need to make a list, I need a hundred Demon Profound, and I also need four cultivation techniques, namely Blade Skill, Fist Skill, Body Technique, and Protective Body Technique. The one thing they have in common is they all relate to killing intent, which can enhance their power."

As he spoke, Qin An’s gaze fell on the Third Prince, indicating that he had expressed his needs.

He was not making an exorbitant demand; everything he mentioned was what he currently needed most.

It now depended on whether the Third Prince thought it was worth it or not.

If the Third Prince could prepare the hundred Demon Profound and the cultivation techniques, then the deal would be considered successful.

If he deemed it not worth it, Qin An would indeed suffer a loss, but it would merely slow down his progress a bit.

The Third Prince bowed his head in silence for a moment before nodding, "Alright, a hundred Demon Profound is indeed a massive amount, but since I became a Prince up until now, I’ve accumulated quite a lot of resources, just enough to satisfy you. Furthermore, I can help you find the cultivation techniques you mentioned."

"But I’m curious, why do you need these techniques of condensed killing intent? Although these techniques possess immense battle power, they can easily influence one’s mind, causing many issues, even top experts do not cultivate such techniques lightly."

These words were unintentionally asked by the Third Prince, as he was genuinely curious about why Qin An made such choices.

Qin An paused for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, everyone in the world has their own secrets. I also have my secrets, so these secrets cannot be revealed."

Indeed, as the Third Prince mentioned, if one truly cultivates all techniques related to killing intent, they might gradually lose their true nature.

Even a master in the Tripod Aspiration Realm could be gradually devoured, ultimately becoming a puppet of slaughter, never able to escape.

But for Qin An, this was not the case.

Even if he cultivated techniques related to killing intent, there were no side effects because the Celestial Cloud Heart Skill was already fused within the Colorless and Formless Mysterious Yellow Technique.

With such a Heart Method as a defense, Qin An could be immune to its side effects.

Within the Celestial Cloud Pool, he had achieved supreme foundations with supreme killing intent, so the stronger the killing intent related techniques, the better for him.

The Third Prince heard Qin An’s words and realized that his previous words had indeed crossed the line, so he nodded and stood up.

"Alright, I will immediately start preparing. It will take approximately half a month, and I will have someone deliver everything to you. Once the deal is complete, I won’t stay any longer."

As a member of the royal family, the Third Prince could be said to be one of Daqian Kingdom’s most elite nobles.

But with such a prestigious identity, he also bore many responsibilities, making their time exceedingly constrained as well.

To have come today to Celestial Cloud Path to see Qin An, the Third Prince had compressed his schedule to the limit.

Thus, after achieving his purpose, he did not intend to linger any longer.

Qin An indeed had no intention to make the Third Prince stay and nodded slightly, allowing the Third Prince to leave.

Watching the Third Prince’s figure gradually recede, until it disappeared at the end of the street, Qin An then returned to his senses.

"First, fully train the proficiency levels of the Blacksmith and Butcher occupations to level twenty-one. By the next breakthrough, once the items from the Third Prince arrive, I can also address the weaknesses in the two cultivation techniques."

"If there’s no task from the Forbidden Land Envoy, then I’ll continue researching the cultivation techniques to enhance the proficiency level; if there is, I’ll complete the task first."

Thinking of this, Qin An stepped towards the Evil Extermination Bureau.

...

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

During this period, Celestial Cloud Path once again fell into a calm silence.

However, amid this silence, a subtle wave took root and continued to spread until it enveloped the entire Celestial Cloud Path.

Everything seemed normal, but the Evil Extermination Bureau, in its unnoticeable way, was continuously cleaning up the remaining forces of the Demon Pseudo-Gods.

After the Jinluan Holy Hall incident, most of the Demon Pseudo-God forces had turned into smoke and dust scattered everywhere.

The remaining Demon Pseudo-Gods withdrew from the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield, returned to the Celestial Cloud Path, holding onto their domains, resisting the Evil Extermination Bureau’s assault.

But with their meager strength, they could not stop the progress of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Thus, under the pursuit of the Evil Extermination Bureau, these Demon Pseudo-Gods were like rats crossing the street, constantly in hiding.

Yet as time passed, they were slowly being devoured as if succumbing to a slow death.

And the person responsible for this outcome was now being praised by many forces within Celestial Cloud Path.

The name Qin An echoed in every corner of the Celestial Cloud Path.
