"Testing the souls talent, huh..." Lin Ming gazed at the Soul Testing Stone Stele in front of him. The Soul Testing Stone Stele was similar in shape to the Strength Testing Stone Stele, but differed in color - the Strength Testing Stone Stele was black, while the Soul Testing Stone Stele was a deep red, like fresh blood.

  Lin Ming, as a member of the Lin family, had his soul talent and martial arts talent tested shortly after birth. Both were mid-third grade, which was considered not bad. If Lin Ming had been born into the main branch, he would have been worth cultivating by the Lin family. Unfortunately, Lin Ming was from a side branch, and this talent was not enough for him to be exceptionally selected into the main branch.

  For a child, the cultivation talent is more important than the innate talent, as it relates to ones lifelong martial arts achievements.

  As for the soul talent, it is not important. This talent mainly relates to professions that require soul power, such as alchemists, inscription masters, and equipment refiners. Generally speaking, unless one has an exceptionally high talent, such as a top-grade four-star or even five-star soul talent, families will spend a large amount of money to cultivate this genius into an inscription master or alchemist. Lower-level talents are usually completely ignored.

  However, Lin Ming knew that this soul talent was completely useless in the Body Tempering stage, but later on when he entered the Xiantian stage, it gradually became useful because after entering the Xiantian stage, one would start to cultivate their soul.

  In the Tianyun Nation, most low-level warriors did not know how to use their soul force at all.

  However, some masters who have broken through the Condensation Period will cultivate some soul techniques that are also cultivated by rune masters, condensing their soul power to explore things, such as the flow of true yuan in the opponents treasure, which can reveal and break through the weaknesses of the opponents moves.

  So Elder Sun suspected that Lin Ming was a genius in terms of spiritual power, which is why he brought Lin Ming here to test him.

  "Although you said that the soul talent was tested in the family, I think its better to test it again. The soul talent has always been underestimated and sometimes just goes through the motions. Moreover, the stone monument you used may not be accurate, so its possible that there was a mistake."

  Old Sun said, placing a small piece of true yuan stone in the center of the soul-measuring stone steles formation. Although the soul-measuring stone stele looked similar to the strength-measuring stone stele, its price was higher by a notch. The true yuan stone that drove it was also an expensive consumable item.

  Lin Ming placed his hand on the Soul Measuring Stone Stele, and as soon as the spell array was activated, he saw countless illusions in his mind, like a kaleidoscope world. Later, he felt a sharp pain from deep within his soul, which lasted for dozens of breaths.

  "Found it," said Old Sun.

  Lin Ming opened his eyes and looked over, seeing that the light pillar of the Soul Testing Stone Stele had lit up to the fourth grid, but hadnt passed the position of about one-third of the fourth grid.

  Four initial endowments?

  Lin Ming was slightly stunned, he had previously measured it as a third-rate middle-grade, how did it suddenly rise so much?

  Just as Old Sun said, was it a mistake in the previous test?

  Could it be...

  A sudden thought rose up in Lin Mings mind.

  Isnt this change in innate talent related to the Rubiks Cube?

  It was when he swallowed that ownerless soul that his own Souls Innate Talent grade rose from 3rd Grade Middle to 4th Grade Initial.

  Lin Ming knew nothing about the soul, but he was clear that in the cognition of the Tianyun Continent, innate talent was unchangeable!

  No matter whether its a martial arts talent or a spiritual talent, it wont change after birth. Never heard of any heaven-sent treasures that can change ones talents.

  As for Dahais memory, there wasnt any, but since Dahais memories were originally incomplete, Lin Ming didnt dare to be certain.

  Maybe its really a mistake, if devouring souls can improve the souls talent level, then those powerful seniors living in the divine realm should have the ability to come up with some soul fragments to devour, right? Isnt everyones talent level six, seven or eight?

  Lin Ming subconsciously touched his chest, where the Rubiks Cube was located. Since swallowing a memory fragment last time, Lin Ming had never been able to enter the cubes illusion again.

  Although I didnt have much hope, if I had the chance to devour another soul fragment next time, I would definitely go and test whether my spiritual talent had increased or not.

  Elder Sun naturally didnt know what Lin Ming was thinking at this time, he was frowning and looking at the Soul Testing Stone Stele, this initial four-grade talent obviously couldnt satisfy him.

  He had originally held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that Lin Ming might be a rare genius in terms of soul, perhaps being fifth-grade or higher, or even the legendary sixth-grade.

  In that case, Lin Mingxue would easily master the art of inscription and alchemy, and at that time, the Seven Profound Martial House would cultivate two great geniuses, Qin Xuan and Lin Ming, one martial and one soul. Who knows, they might even get a reward from the Seven Profound Martial House, and maybe even receive some spiritual medicine as a gift. But now, this hope has been shattered.

  Shaking his head, Sun Lao sighed softly and said to Lin Ming: "Lets go, Ill take you to collect your reward."

  "Is this the Red Ginseng Dragons Pulse Pill and the Golden Snakes Gallbladder Pill?"

  Returning to his residence in the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, Lin Ming looked at the two elixir boxes on the table and couldnt help but feel excited. This time, he had gained a lot.

  These two elixirs, one is refined with the marrow of a Red Golden Dragon, and the other is refined with the gallbladder of a Hundred-Year-Old Scarlet Gold Snake. The Red Golden Dragon is a fourth-level ferocious beast, and ordinary postnatal practitioners are no match for it. As for the Hundred-Year-Old Scarlet Gold Snake, although its only a third-level ferocious beast, its the top-notch kind among its peers, plus its extremely rare in number, making it even more precious.

  These two elixirs are priceless treasures that cannot be bought with money in Tianyun Country, even the imperial family would be moved!

  "After taking these two elixirs, my strength will increase significantly, but... its too wasteful to eat such precious elixirs directly. In the memory of that senior expert, the Inscription Technique can not only enhance the power of treasures, but also increase the effect of elixirs. Why not study and refine two Inscription Symbols that increase the effect of elixirs, and then take them after sticking them on?"

  The divine realm has been passed down for millions of years, and whether it is physical training, martial arts, the use of various weapons, skills, and formations have all developed to the extreme, far beyond what the Tianyuan Continent can compare to, and naturally, so is the art of inscription.

  The four major categories of Divine Domains Inscription Techniques are: Artifact Inscription, Medicine Inscription, Body Inscription, and Soul Inscription.

  The inscription is just an inscription on a treasure, which is the most superficial.

  The medicinal effect of a pill can be enhanced or its side effects eliminated by inscribing certain characters on it.

  Inscription on the body, requires extremely high attainments in inscription techniques, can increase a warriors cultivation speed or combat power for a long period of time.

  The soul is engraved on the soul, which is the highest state of engraving technique. Even the memory of that senior great ability about the soul is a blank, perhaps its incomplete, or perhaps even that great ability wont work.

  The art of inscription in the Tianyun Kingdom was limited to inscribing instruments, and the vast majority of masters had never thought that the art of inscription could be used elsewhere.

  At Lin Mings current level, the Body and Soul of the Sword were not worth considering. The Medicine of the Sword could be studied a bit, but these days Lin Ming was busy cultivating and didnt have enough time, and he also didnt have that much money to buy materials, so it had been put on hold.

  This time I obtained two spiritual pills, Red Golden Dragons Marrow Pill and Golden Snakes Gallbladder Pill. Naturally, I will take this opportunity to study them carefully, allowing the medicinal effects to reach their maximum.

  Just then, Lin Ming heard a knock on the door that was like thunder, and if not for the good quality of the Seven Profound Martial Houses dormitory doors, Lin Ming would have suspected that the door would be smashed to pieces.

  Sorry, I made a mistake with the update schedule =.=+, which resulted in two chapters being swapped. My fault, its already been fixed...
