Chapter 400: Chapter 229: Thousand Hui City, The Palace Master of Yiye Palace_1
[The Yin Yang Master travels with you, conversing about the arts of technique while on the road...]
[It speaks with envy about your winged Shikigami girl on your back, stating such a powerful Shikigami is incomparable to regular evil spirits or monsters.]
[You seize the opportunity to ask the Yin Yang Master about the methods of taming these Shikigami...]
[Turns out there are two types of Shikigami utilized by the Yin Yang Master, one being ’Evil Spirits’ and the other beings ’Monsters’ that are remnants of evil demons.]
[Taming and controlling these two types of Shikigami is not as easy as you’d think...]
[’Evil Spirits’ are born under harsh conditions, thus they are extremely rare in the world. The longer an Evil Spirit exists, the stronger it becomes.]
[It is difficult for an ordinary Yin Yang Master to encounter Evil Spirits and even if they do, these ones that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years are too powerful to be fought against, let alone helping them fulfill their unaccomplished wishes and taming them into Shikigamis.]
[Some Yin Yang Masters generate Evil Spirits through malicious means, through a cruel process that goes against human nature. The newly created ’Evil Spirits’ however, are usually weak, not very useful, and it’s only the rogue Yin Yang Masters who employ such methods.]
[Compared to that, taming monsters is relatively easier.]
[Defeating them and employing a ’Suppressing Object’ that matches their strength to suppress and tame them is all that’s required. However, good Suppressing Objects are hard to find, and this method also has its flaws.]
[Monsters, being remnants of evil demons that worship evil gods, will naturally refuse to be human Shikigamis. After being tamed, their divine sense must be erased, so they can be effectively controlled.]
[A Monster without divine sense is like a puppet on strings, completely dependent on the Yin Yang Master for control, and its level of power in battle is greatly weakened. A Yin Yang Master is considered skilled if he can draw out around half the true strength of such a monster...]
"It seems a bit unrealistic to be a summoner who can call forth an army of monsters with just a wave..."
Time flies as he travels and exchanges techniques with the Yin Yang Master.
From it, Lin Xun also learns about the characteristics of a Yin Yang Master’s profession.
Compared with a traditional Mage, a Yin Yang Master has limited self-output means and lacks overly strong damage skills.
A Yin Yang Master mainly fights with the power of the Shikigami’s attack and the defense of releasing a barrier, supplemented by various enhancements from talismans.
"Whether it’s the Shikigami, the barriers, or the enhancement talismans, I’m quite interested in them all. It’s a good time to go to the Yiye Palace and grab a high-level Yin Yang Master Shell to test out the power of this new job."
Lin Xun takes the opportunity to open his item bar and checks the loot dropped by the BOSS.
The challenge posed by the Asura BOSS is extremely high, so the items it dropped are also extraordinary.
The first one that caught his eye was a special spirit essence that he hasn’t seen in a long time.
[’Asura’s Special Spirit Essence’ (Special Spirit Essence Item): Use this item to gain 300,000 spirit essence points. It can also be added to the forging of Shell equipment (including strengthening, enchanting, etc.) to produce relevant additional attributes with a certain probability.]
There’s also a ’Son of Stars Special Spirit Essence’ in the item bar, but that piece of special spirit essence has too high a quality for general weapons to use, and the activation probability is too low.
He guesses that only equipment made from the materials dropped by the Son of Stars would perfectly match this special spirit essence.
He’ll go back to the library later to check the match rate of existing equipment with ’Asura’s Special Spirit Essence’. If the activation rate is high, he’ll use it directly. If the rate is not high, it just so happens that Asura also exploded a piece of material.
[’Asura’s Rosary’ (Material): A string of prayer beads hung around Asura’s neck. The prayer beads used in prayers, songs, chants, or spiritual exercises. The quality of these prayer beads as a material is extremely high and valuable.]
Asura also exploded a ’Complete Forging Crystal Block’ which can enhance Legendary Grade equipment, but unfortunately, Lin Xun has yet to find a high-quality blacksmith shell until now...
The last two items of loot are the big show.
[’Seed of Extreme Evil’ (Special Item): A small fruit seed from an unknown ancient God’s ’Malice.’ Most of the ’Malice’ has been consumed, but not all of it has dissipated, a trace of it has condensed into this dark seed. The dark aura coils around the seed; even just looking at it can make one sense the endless Malice.]
[Using this item allows you to manipulate the remaining Malice in the seed, temporarily merging it with your summoned creatures or special summoned creatures, enabling them to demonstrate their unique characteristics and display extraordinary combat power!]
[This item is consumed upon use, and at most, three summoned creatures can be merged.]
"Hmm? Wasn’t the Asura created by combining the Society Head and God Master of the Shishan Society?"
Remembering how ridiculously powerful Asura was, even if the ’Seed of Extreme Evil’ does not have much Malice left, as long as he can merge several powerful summoned beasts, it’s tantamount to summoning a powerful BOSS to fight for him.
He begins to study the rules of using the item.
After some testing, he finds that he needs to summon his summoned beasts to use this item.
And perhaps it is because the Valkyrie is made of Refined Copper that the item cannot be used on her.
That is to say, unless he can summon two types of summoned creatures besides the Valkyrie at the same time, this powerful item would be rendered useless.
"It seems I must seize a Yin Yang Master’s Shell and acquire more Shikigami..."
The last piece of loot is an incredibly valuable Legendary Grade item.
[’Sumeru Mustard Seed of Illusion Form’ (Legendary Grade Item): A tiny mustard seed, it is a mature and dry seed of the white mustard plant. The tiny mustard seed has been touched by the power of a mysterious deity, causing this seed to have the power to transform into the legendary towering sacred mountain, ’Sumeru’.]
