The plan was in tatters, and Bai Ye's mood was significantly dampened.
However, there was still some good news to somewhat soothe his "wounded" spirit.
The first piece of good news: the Five Spirit Incantations had improved.
The second piece of good news: the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had improved.
Half-good news: after midnight, Bai Ye could continue to draw from the gacha.
As long as the item drawn from a Gold quality gacha with Divine Stone Shards could be swallowed by the Iron Slime, the Iron Slime would certainly evolve into Red quality.
The Five Spirit Incantations had improved.
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Spirit stats have increased by 8 points."
"You have completed Spirit Gathering cultivation. Your Five Spirit Incantations have been enhanced."
"Due to the improvement of your Five Spirit Incantations, Warm Mist has evolved into Immortal Wind Cloud Body."
Immortal Wind Cloud Body: Grants the user a 30-point increase in Speed and a 5% increase in Speed for 15 minutes. Movement Speed will gain an additional 15 points and a 10% increase in Movement Speed.
Bai Ye's eyes widened. Finally, there was a powerful technique within the Five Spirit Incantations that he could actually use.
For a long time, Bai Ye had felt a mix of surprise and disappointment with the Five Spirit Incantations.
The Five Spirit Incantations were indeed very potent. Despite their not-so-high quality, a cultivation technique with growth potential was not solely determined by its quality.
On one hand, Bai Ye needed the core of the Five Spirit Incantations to continuously enhance his physical attributes.
Physical attributes were undoubtedly the most valuable form of strength increase. There was nothing more useful than becoming stronger; it was a consensus among all top experts.
The Five Spirit Incantations had indeed pleased Bai Ye greatly. Through Spirit Gathering cultivation, Bai Ye's physical attributes had been consistently growing.
On the other hand, Bai Ye had also eagerly anticipated the five different elemental spells that accompanied the Five Spirit Incantations. However, these spells had always been somewhat lackluster.
They were incredibly versatile, encompassing offense, debuffs, buffs, and healing...
But perhaps because they were too versatile, they lacked distinctiveness. As Bai Ye's strength grew, the spells of the Five Spirit Incantations became increasingly less useful.
Take the lightning-based spells for example. Bai Ye had already cultivated to the third stage, Heavenly Thunder Sky Break. While its attack power was not low, wasn't his Rumble-Rumble Fruit more potent?
Other buff and debuff spells were similar. They were useful, yet not *that* useful, only occasionally employed in specific situations, and that was it.
Now, there was finally a spell that Bai Ye could continuously use. This speed enhancement was an undeniable boost for him.
Even with his Electric Field Teleportation, in a real fight, relying solely on elemental lightning attacks wouldn't be enough. This was because, in an elementalized state, he couldn't use other abilities or items.
And when he was out of the elementalized state and relying on his own movement, the value of Immortal Wind Cloud Body would become apparent.
The Five Spirit Incantations had brought Bai Ye a pleasant surprise. Moreover, with the emergence of Immortal Wind Cloud Body, only two more spells were needed for the Five Spirit Incantations to enter the fourth tier.
In his past life, Bai Ye had witnessed the power of the Five Spirit Incantations. The current Five Spirit Incantations were not at their peak and required time to accumulate power.
After the further enhancement, Spirit Gathering also increased to (0/20000).
With the Five Spirit Incantations off to a good start, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was also quite satisfactory.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Devil Fruit) (Item) (Gold): Upon consumption, it allows the user to elementalize their body with the ultimate Logia-type fruit, enabling the body to transform into lightning...
Weaknesses: Cannot come into contact with seawater or Seastone.
Current Proficiency: 0/22000
Unlocked Techniques: 6/12
Effects: Teleportation...
Lightning...
Thunder Shock...
Thunder Beast...
Thunder Bird...
Thunder Dragon: Enhances lightning attacks, forming a thunder dragon that possesses the power of Thunder Beast and the speed of Thunder Bird.
The increase in Rumble-Rumble Fruit proficiency meant an increase in lightning power as a fundamental aspect. This was the terrifying aspect of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; when proficiency reached MAX, its lightning power would be formidable.
Even the most ordinary lightning attack, as a Super quality ability, was a terrifying existence.
However, the Thunder Dragon technique was somewhat underwhelming, essentially a reinforced Thunder Beast and Thunder Bird.
But considering that Thunder Beast, Thunder Bird, and Thunder Dragon could be summoned simultaneously, it wasn't entirely useless. The value of these three techniques lay in their ability to materialize lightning, allowing for sustained attacks.
Therefore, a pure increase in summon count would not result in overlapping effects.
It was just that the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit made Bai Ye anticipate even more formidable techniques. As it stood, he needed to continue increasing his proficiency.
Lastly, there was the Iron Slime, which would require a gacha draw first.
"Can swallow, can swallow, can swallow..."
Bai Ye was quite content. He didn't desperately need the gacha machine to enhance his combat power at the moment, so as long as the Iron Slime could swallow something, Bai Ye would be satisfied. Seeing Red quality within reach, Bai Ye didn't want to be stuck for another twenty-four hours.
And the result...
The first Blue gacha yielded a martial art, without surprise or delight, called Kongtong Flying Dragon Staff.
Bai Ye didn't look down on martial arts; powerful techniques could even contend with the Daoist spells of the immortal cultivation world. But Blue quality...
Bai Ye decided to pretend he hadn't drawn it.
The second Black gacha, an old friend, Plasma Cannon...
Even this trash item couldn't elevate the Iron Slime to Red quality, nor could it be recorded in the Gate of Babylon.
One Black and one Blue gacha. The luck was decent, but utterly useless.
Bai Ye could only place his hope on the final Divine Stone Shard.
Chengying Sword (Weapon) (Gold): An ancient famous sword, one of the Ten Great Famous Swords of Huaxia. Legend has it that upon its forging, the dragon was split into its shadow, and the geese were left behind, forgetting to return.
Effect... 138 Reading Network
The effect of the Chengying Sword was no longer important.
As one of the Ten Great Famous Swords of Huaxia, its reputation was considerable. However, compared to immortal flying swords, it was still a step down. Among Gold quality weapons, it was on the lower end, but it was sufficient to allow the Iron Slime to advance!
Iron Slime (Item) (Red): A very rare mutated slime that can swallow anything and, by integrating the characteristics of the swallowed object, transform and utilize them.
Effect: Swallow...
Condense...
Steal...
Synthesize...
Reinforce...
Condensable Items...
Enchantment: Can enchant its mastered elemental abilities onto condensed weapons. The weapon's effect increases by 10%, attack power increases by 15%, defense attack power increases by 15%. When attacking, the enchantment effect can be added. If the user has not mastered elemental abilities, this effect cannot be used.
Iron Slime Growth Value: 0/1000000
The Iron Slime had already taken off when it was Black quality, and now at Red quality...
It would soar!
