"Water Curse!"
After the excitement, Bai Ye threw a Taoist talisman. Immediately, water appeared, swirling around Bai Ye's body, helping him recover his strength and heal his injuries to a certain extent.
Taking advantage of this interval, Bai Ye sat on the ground to rest. He then discovered that after Situ Chicheng's death, he had left him three God Stone fragments.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. He had made a profit!
Moreover, continuous sparring with masters had another benefit.
Spiritual Gathering was complete!
Five Spirit Plate, Spiritual Gathering (200/200)
"You have completed Spiritual Gathering cultivation. Your Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Spirit stats have increased by 3 points."
"You have completed Spiritual Gathering cultivation. Your Five Spirit Curses have been enhanced."
"Due to the enhancement of your Five Spirit Curses, Thunder Curse has evolved into Lightning Flash."
Bai Ye completed his Spiritual Gathering cultivation, his physical attributes were further improved, and what was even more surprising was that after the enhancement of his Five Spirit Curses, the Thunder Curse among the five Taoist arts had evolved into Lightning Flash.
However, there weren't many changes in attributes, only the power had increased, and the paralysis effect was also enhanced.
Bai Ye was not surprised. The lightning attribute was a purely offensive Taoist art. Generally, no matter how it was improved, it mainly enhanced its power.
After completing the second Spiritual Gathering, the Spiritual Gathering of the Five Spirit Plate also saw a leap forward, directly becoming 0/500.
After resting for a short while, Bai Ye got up and began to head towards the broadcast television tower. He then took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the broadcast television tower.
"Welcome, Chen Long!"
The old man Bai Ye had seen before stood in the lobby, looking at Bai Ye as he stepped out of the elevator.
Bai Ye said, "You don't look very happy?"
"Of course. If you had died on your way here, there would be no winner in this Twelve Great Battles," the old man said. "Otherwise, why would the winner have to come here to receive the reward?"
"Uh..."
Bai Ye was speechless. So this was the meaning of this rule?
"Just kidding." The old man laughed heartily, then said, "Regardless, you are the winner of this Twelve Great Battles. According to the rules, you can receive a Wish Mission. However, you are not the trigger for the Wish Mission, so you do not have the right to make a wish. You can only inherit the right to choose the wish. Do you understand?"
Bai Ye nodded and said, "I understand."
This explanation was indeed a bit difficult to understand, but Bai Ye had participated in Wish Mission battles in his previous life, so he understood the meaning. Simply put, the wish had already been completed when the Wish Mission was triggered. Bai Ye could only choose the reward he wanted while inheriting the direction of the other party's wish.
The old man continued, "Wish Missions have a total of five levels, from the lowest one-star to the highest five-star. This time, a two-star Wish Mission was triggered, and the reward is anything below black quality that you can wish for. Furthermore, the participant who triggered the Wish Mission has already made their wish, which was for an ability. Therefore, you can choose any ability below black quality as your reward."
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand forward.
The next moment, countless light screens appeared around Bai Ye, forming a circle and slowly rotating around Bai Ye's body.
The old man said, "There are a total of 117 abilities below black quality, and they are all here. There are no time restrictions. You can review them in detail and then tell me your choice."
"No need to look," Bai Ye said. "I choose Phoenix."
The old man was stunned upon hearing this. After a while, he said, "That is not an ability below black quality, but a golden ability..."
"No, that is a blue ability," Bai Ye said. "The Phoenix ability is blue at its initial stage, and it can evolve into a golden ability. Therefore, in its initial state, it complies with the rules."
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Growth and evolution type abilities are not included in the selection."
Bai Ye said, "You didn't mention this clause when you stated the rules."
The old man said, "The rules are like this..."
"No, the rules are not like this," Bai Ye spread his hands. "Of course, you are the rule-maker. If you just say that you added a rule temporarily, then I admit defeat. However, I must remind you that the purpose of rules is order. If the rule-maker themselves does not abide by the rules, then the so-called rules are a joke."
The old man fell silent again, then said, "Congratulations, you have obtained the Phoenix ability!" xxs壹贰
The old man waved his hand again, and all the light screens around disappeared, leaving only one.
Phoenix (Ability) (Blue): An ability bestowed by the legendary phoenix, capable of burning everything with flames. If one obtains phoenix feathers, immortal flame, and phoenix perching on phoenix tree wood, the ability can grow and evolve. Effect: Phoenix Flame (Burns targets with flames).
Bai Ye looked at the introduction of the Phoenix on the light screen and nodded with satisfaction. When the old man mentioned "ability," Bai Ye's mind immediately went to this ability, and he wouldn't choose anything else.
The old man asked curiously, "Can you tell me how you knew about the Phoenix ability?"
How did he know?
Of course, because he had drawn it from the gacha in his previous life!
At that time, Bai Ye was extremely puzzled. Why did he get a blue ability after drawing a golden gacha? Not only did it not match the golden quality, but it wasn't even considered a high-level ability.
Later, Bai Ye learned that the Phoenix was a growth and evolution type ability, starting at blue quality and capable of growing all the way to gold.
Of course, this type of ability should not be limited to just the Phoenix, but Bai Ye only knew about the Phoenix. Since that was the case, he naturally chose it.
Bai Ye looked at the old man and said, "Is this something I must answer?"
"Of course not," the old man smiled. "I just hope you can satisfy the curiosity of this old man."
Bai Ye said, "I'm very sorry, I don't intend to do that."
"What a pity. You are a heartless person, unable to fulfill even such a small wish of this old man." The old man smiled, then said, "In ten seconds, you will be returned to the place you left."
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6..."
After the old man finished speaking, Bai Ye heard the countdown. Then, the moment it reached "0"...
Bai Ye found the scenery around him shifting. Soon, the surroundings became blurry, but after only about half a minute, everything began to become clear again. Immediately, Bai Ye found himself back in the market of Rukongai.
Then...
Bai Ye glanced in front of him and couldn't help but show disappointment.
The stall owner was indeed gone.
...
