Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 13: Earth Core Essence

Chapter 13: Earth Core Essence

TL: Etude

"Three portions of intermediate beast blood should allow me to cultivate for five days, enough to increase my strength to 600 catties, or even more," Ye Tian roughly estimated.

A strength of 600 catties, coupled with his talents in speed and medium-level blade skills, would allow him to crush any martial disciple, and he wouldn't be much weaker compared to an early-stage martial warrior.

"Right, I still don't know what effects the stalactite liquid that I obtained has; I must look it up soon!" Ye Tian was also hoping that the liquid could significantly increase his cultivation. Perhaps it could allow him to advance to the rank of a warrior sooner.

During the hundred years since the apocalypse, many strange treasures had appeared. Naturally, some people had compiled a treasure atlas to avoid missing treasures for warriors venturing into the wilderness.

And such a treasure atlas wasn't expensive; one could purchase it for a mere thousand pieces.

In the past, Ye Tian wouldn't have been able to afford it, but now he wasn't short of money.

In addition to three portions of beast blood, the first-place reward included a hundred thousand pieces.

So, Ye Tian went to the store and bought a relatively comprehensive treasure atlas.

Back at home, he flipped through it page by page. After browsing more than half of the atlas, he finally found the entry on Zhongrǔ liquid.

"Earth Core Essence, a stone from the earth's veins that absorbs the energy of heaven and earth for a hundred years, solidifying into existence. It has the effect of enhancing cultivation talent, effective only for those with medium or lower cultivation talent. In the place where Earth Core Essence is born, there is a small chance for Earth Elemental Stone to form, which can enhance low-level talents!"

Staring at this introduction, Ye Tian's breath grew rapid.

"Heavens! It's a treasure that can enhance cultivation talent. If I sell it, not to mention a hundred thousand, even several million or tens of millions would have buyers, right?" Ye Tian muttered to himself.

But he quickly quashed this thought.

If he truly sold the Earth Core Essence, he was certain he wouldn't live to see the next day.

At this moment, he also understood why the spotted snake was able to break through its racial limitations and advance to the beast level.

He had glimpsed the snake's bloodline talent, which had reached a medium level, making it seem like a different species compared to other spotted snakes. Now, it seemed that the Earth Core Essence had enhanced its bloodline talent; otherwise, it would never have advanced to the beast level in its lifetime!

"It's a pity that the Earth Core Essence's effect on enhancing cultivation is too low, and I'm not worried about my talent. Even if it's useful to me, I don't need to take it, and it's useless to me with my medium cultivation talent. If it's useless to me and I can't sell it, what should I do with it?" Ye Tian said, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Suddenly, he thought of his younger sister, Ye Yu.

"That's right, my sister seems to have only low-tier talent. If I give her this Earth Core Essence, wouldn't it be possible to elevate her talent to the basic or even medium level?" Ye Tian thought.

During lunch, Ye Tian looked at his sister and said, "Sister, this is good stuff, you should drink it!" He then took out the Earth Core Essence and placed it in front of Ye Yu.

"What is this?" Ye Yu asked curiously.

She wasn't worried that her brother would harm her; she was only worried whether it would taste good.

"It's a great tonic!" Ye Tian replied seriously.

He didn't tell his sister about the effects of the Earth Core Essence, as she hadn't begun cultivating and didn't know what her talent was. Mentioning it might only cause unnecessary trouble.

"Brother, aren't you drinking?" Ye Yu asked, her big eyes fixed on her brother.

"I've already had some; this is saved for you!" Ye Tian said, caressing Ye Yu's head affectionately.

"Okay, then I'll drink it!" Ye Yu said, sipping the Earth Core Essence.

The quantity was not much, and Ye Yu quickly finished it.

"What does it feel like?" Ye Tian hurriedly asked.

He hadn't tried the Earth Core Essence himself and was uncertain about its specific effects. However, the treasure atlas stated that anyone could consume the Earth Core Essence without adverse effects, as its effects were very mild.

"I feel warm all over, very comfortable!" Ye Yu expressed her feelings.

"Little sister, this thing is very precious, don't tell anyone else, only you and I should know!" Ye Tian solemnly warned her.

He feared that Ye Yu might inadvertently let it slip while playing with other companions. If someone with ulterior motives guessed it, they would be in danger.

"Brother, I won't say anything!" Ye Yu nodded.

The two continued to eat. During the meal, Ye Tian kept observing Ye Yu's talent situation using his duplication talent.

About three minutes had passed, and Ye Yu's talent really changed.

Human: Ye Yu

Cultivation Talent: Basic (TL: Elementary)

Ice Talent: Basic(Unawakened)

After finishing lunch, and approximately an hour later, Ye Tian discovered that Ye Yu's talent had changed again.

Human: Ye Yu

Cultivation Talent: Mid (TL: Intermediate)

Ice Talent: Basic (Unawakened)

Until the next day, Ye Yu's talents remained unchanged, clearly indicating that intermediate was the limit. This was because the Earth's Core Liquid only worked on those with mid-level talents or lower, and since Ye Yu had already been promoted to said talent level, she could not continue to improve.

"My sister has now reached mid-level talent, coupled with her ice talent, she won't have any problem becoming one of the top warriors at Linhai Base!" Ye Tian said, comforted.

Having money, Ye Tian then sent his little sister to a class. After all, she was only 13 years old and shouldn’t stay at home all day. At school, she could not only learn more but also play with more friends. This was the life a young girl should have.

Initially, she disagreed because she was aware of their family's situation. But when Ye Tian took out 100,000 yuan, she agreed.

Regarding the origin of the money, Ye Tian claimed that he had won first place in a martial arts competition at the academy, and the 100,000 yuan was a reward. In fact, this was not a lie since the trial could also be considered a competition.

With his sister at school, Ye Tian practiced without worry.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

By that time, the intermediate beast's blood had already been consumed by Ye Tian.

A month of cultivation allowed Ye Tian's strength to break through again, reaching 800 jin of force. This level of strength was considered that of a high-level martial disciple, and he was not far from the realm of a true warrior. In terms of actual combat power, Ye Tian was almost comparable to a warrior.

Unfortunately, without the beast's blood, his progress slowed down, and his current strength was not enough to hunt beasts in the wilderness. He could only gradually increase his strength over time.

At the Mo family.

Mo Shaobei had emerged from seclusion.

Since the trial ended, he had been in closed-door cultivation aiming for the warrior realm, and now he had successfully reached the warrior level.

The entire Mo family was celebrating this joyous occasion.

While the outside world was discussing Mo Shaobei, he was talking to his old servant about something.

"Old Li, how is the investigation going?" Mo Shaobei looked at his old servant, Li Hai, and asked.
