Ves gritted his teeth but eventually decided to pull the trigger.
The System instantly deducted 299 Ascension Points from his account from the mont he plucked the fruit from the tree!
Before he could spend ti regretting this fairly expensive purchase, he quickly bit into the fruit and swallowed it without hesitation!
This ti, Ves received a much greater rush of knowledge!
His ntal and cognitive functions had improved enormously compared to a few years ago, so he was still able to keep up and integrate all of the insights and lessons he received at a rapid rate.
The useful knowledge contained within this fruit was much greater than the last one!
Even if the Atr Guardian Mantra contained a lot of additional esoteric knowledge that was only relevant in a past age, Ves still learned a lot of sophisticated cultivation processes that were incredibly valuable!
They combined qi cultivation and body cultivation elents in a single cohesive and synergistic cultivation frawork.
Many of them were either so advanced that Ves would never be able to deduce them himself or so ingenious that it could have only been invented through inspiration.
As usual, Ves fully felt it had been worthwhile to spend 299 AP on this fruit.
"In fact, I've obtained a bargain this ti. One man's trash is another man's treasure. The actual value of this fruit of mine surpasses its list price!"
The reasons why he felt this way were myriad.
First, Ves gained a large quantity of high-quality building blocks and general cultivation knowledge. His understanding of what he ca to call 'cultivation science' had progressed enormously after learning so many new cultivation tricks!
Second, the Atr Guardian Mantra could serve as another useful template. He could hollow out anything that was too specific and fill up the void with all kinds of other cultivation processes in order to form a new variant cultivation thod that was geared towards other purposes!
Third, pretty much every fit and healthy human with at least a modest amount of spiritual potential could get started on this cultivation thod.
The amount of eligible practitioners used to be fairly small in the Age of chs, but now that red humanity was about to undergo widespread spiritual activation due to constant exposure to exotic radiation, the circumstances had changed!
A lot of his own clansn would gradually beco eligible to practice the Atmar Guardian Mantra!
Each of them would be able to consistently absorb the power of heaven and earth to gradually cultivate their own body, mind and spirit.
These were all vital and useful attributes in the Age of Dawn!
Of course, Ves would never make any of his subordinates practice this outdated cultivation thod. It contained a lot of elents he didn't like and he also found it rather slow, demanding and inefficient compared to more modern advancents in cultivation science.
He intended to adapt and alter it so that he could invent a more appropriate cultivation thod for all of his clansn!
"The mbers of the Aduc Family won't be the only ones in my network who can engage in deliberate cultivation anymore by the ti I am done!"
Fourth, although the Atr Guardian Mantra was specifically geared towards human cultivation, Ves was confident he could combine it with elents of artifact cultivation in order to form a thod specific for living chs!
He might even go to his wife and propose to work together in order to incorporate her god body thod into his exclusive living ch cultivation thod!
His expression turned odd when he thought about his wife's most recent successful design application.
"Now that I think about it, Gloriana has actually begun her own research on artifact cultivation."
Her god body thod practically fit the definition! Although it only focused on improving the material quality of her chs, it was already impressive for her to be able to make so much progress without benefiting from any mystical inheritances such as Ves!
While Gloriana still had to grope in the dark without any teachers or textbooks to help her out, Ves could easily attain lots of cultivation-related knowledge by asking his mother or plucking another enlightennt fruit from the Tree of Possibilities!
"I should buy a fruit for her in order to help her out." He decided.
It was all well and good for her to keep figuring stuff out on her own, but her progress would fall too far behind if she had to keep researching and experinting all by herself.
Ves needed all of his chs but particularly the high-ranking ones to beco stronger a lot faster. Her own innovations could play a useful role in accelerating the rise of powerhouses in his clan!
"I should take care of my own needs first, though."
He already spent 404 Ascension Points in a short amount of ti, and he was far from done with his purchases!
He needed more knowledge to boost his understanding of spiritual engineering and cultivation science further!
"I still need fruits related to deity cultivation and artifact cultivation. If I have enough points left, I should also make sure to grab a qi cultivation thod that can tap into a lot of different elents."
He quickly bumped into an incredibly attractive enlightennt fruit.
[Divine Blacksmith Records]
Price: 975 Ascension Points
Imparts a large collection of related smithing recipes and techniques developed by a Divine Blacksmith. The majority of techniques consist of special hamring thods that can impart tallic and organic materials with special properties. The smithing recipes contain many combinations that enable a craftsman to forge powerful materials with the infusion of special energies and materials into a work.
Although the description sounded simple, Ves did not underestimate the knowledge contained within!
This was among the most expensive and powerful enlightennt fruits produced by the Tree of Possibilities!
"A Divine Blacksmith, huh?"
That sounded like a True God oriented towards creation cultivation. It might even be a predecessor of a Star Designer!
Any core knowledge related to a True God was a treasure in other people's hands.I think you should take a look at
Ves had great confidence that he could use the gains from this fruit to advance much of his research and thods by leaps and bounds!
"In fact, it is much better to let Vulcan absorb this fruit instead of . The heritage of a Divine Blacksmith suits him a lot better!"
Unfortunately, the price was just too high for Ves. In terms of cost-effectiveness, he could easily satisfy requirents by spending a lot less on cheaper enlightennt fruits!
The Divine Blacksmith Records was just too high-end at this ti. It was an extravagant enlightennt fruit that would take a lot of ti and effort for him to fully digest and convert into real gains.
He could not possibly set himself back by spending too much AP and delaying his acquisition of more essential fruits at this ti.
He eventually shook his head and moved on. "Maybe I will revisit this decision in the future."
He already confird that the Tree of Possibilities occasionally rotated in old enlightennt fruits after they had disappeared for a while.
This ant that Ves always had the chance of plucking it in the future when he beca more powerful and earned a lot more Ascension Points.
Ves eventually settled for a more modest and economical artifact cultivation thod.
[Colica Sect Equipnt Maintenance Sutra]
Price: 220 Ascension Points
Imparts a sutra as well as associated theories and techniques on the maintenance of personal weapons and equipnt. The Colica Sect believes that equipnt that is recently manufactured and unused in the circumstances they were made for cannot be relied upon.
The battlefield is the forge and the attacks launched by the opposing force are the hamr strikes. Only after undergoing repeated combat refining will surviving pieces of equipnt have the capital to turn into artifacts of greater power.
The Colica Sect's unique sutra utilized by its blacksmiths is not only ant to facilitate the repair and restoration of damaged equipnt, but can also increase their toughness and other properties through a combination of special thods.
"This is much more appropriate for my needs!"
Although it didn't sound nearly as comprehensive and high-level as the Divine Blacksmith Records, the Colica Sect Equipnt Maintenance Sutra was a lot cheaper while also being highly relevant to his work!
Sure, this enlightennt fruit did not sound like it had anything to do with chs or living products, but Ves was sure he could adapt the principles of this so-called Colica Sect to his chs and ch designs!
"It would be best to change it so that the chs can apply a version of this sutra to themselves instead of letting the maintenance crews do this stuff." Ves determined.
He could figure that out later.
Ves took the ti to study the other enlightennt fruits that sounded like they were also tied to artifact cultivation, but he did not like them due to various reasons.
They were either too cheap which gave him little confidence that they would satisfy all of his requirents, or they demanded too many Ascension Points while stuffing his head full of too much irrelevant knowledge.
This one was just right.
"Buy."
Ves plucked the fruit and tossed it into his mouth.
Another burst of knowledge flooded into his mind. The quantity of theories and techniques was a lot, but a significant proportion of the input was made up of hard data that should ordinarily be stored in a database.
Ves harvested a lot of gains from this fruit. Just as he expected, the knowledge was both highly relevant and multipurpose.
Not only did he gain the building blocks he needed to cobble up a much more functional and fitting artifact cultivation thod for his living chs, he also gained a much greater understanding of blacksmithing and manual craftsmanship processes!
He especially gained a lot of competence in repairing damaged and broken chs! He understood a lot more on how to preserve their valuable attributes while also imparting his machines with small improvents by imbuing the chs with spiritual energy.
The more damaged the ch, the greater the room for mystical improvent!
"My chance of fabricating a masterwork ch should be even greater, especially if I upgrade an existing ch!"
The Colica Sect's survival of the fittest ntality towards equipnt synergized well with his specialization towards living chs.
So long as his products managed to survive the battlefield and grow for nurous years, they would be able to grow into much more powerful versions of themselves!
Ves smiled as he fully digested the knowledge contained in the latest fruit. He developed a much stronger desire to go back to his design lab and work on upgrading the Dark Zephyr and all of his other old expert chs.
These older machines had gone through so many serious battles and accumulated so much growth that he knew that he could unlock a lot of potential if he reconstructed their fras!
However, all of that took a lot of ti and effort. He needed to think carefully about whether to embark on any further design projects at this ti.
"Let's get back to my search."
He had 625 Ascension Points left. He was willing to spend a large chunk of it on two more fruits, but he needed to make sure he left a healthy reserve in order to pay the rent for the Vault of Eternity and rent extra ti in the Workshop of Creation.
Ves urgently needed a proper deity cultivation thod.
The Orven Ritual Sacrifice Altar Design enlightennt fruit he ingested once taught him a little bit about this form of cultivation, but it hardly added anything to his understanding of cultivation science.
Compared to the thods of primordial humans and other races with rich spiritual inheritances, the crude and primitive deity cultivation thods of the orven race could not be relied upon!
If Ves did not have access to the Sacred Hearth which gave him direct access to his Divine Cores, he would have never been able to survive his attempt to create his own living divine artifact!
Now that he still had plenty of Ascension Points at his disposal, he beca determined to do better!
It took a while, but he eventually found a decent fruit...
