792 [Mass Merge]
'Swoosh'
Without wasting any time, Leo started working on upgrading his talent by placing the three levels of moon stones in order.
500 low-level Moon Stones were orderly placed around him along with 100 mid-level Moon Stones.
As for the high-level Moon Stone, he tightly held it in his hands and started his cultivation.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, the pure Moon Energy from all these Moon Stones rushed into Leo's body.
Within a few moments, the low-level Moon Stones disintegrated into nothing followed by the mid-level Moon Stones.
As for the high-level Moon Stone, it lasted for an entire hour and the energies from all these Moon Stones were stored in Leo's body.
'Aargh…I can endure this much pain.'
With so much Moon Energy in his body, Leo felt a bone-breaking pain; however, he gritted his teeth and endured it by hoping, 'As long as I cross this hurdle, I can have a level 5 Fundamental Merge.'
That was the only thought that made Leo endure that pain.
Time continued to pass and in a flash, it's been more than two hours since Leo started the process of upgrading his [Fundamental Merge].
'Swoosh'
'Kacha'
Suddenly, all the moon energy in his body disappeared and at the same time, there was a crisp sound in his body, which was a notification for Leo that he had successfully upgraded his [Fundamental Merge] to level 5.
And the reason why Leo was so confident about his upgrade was because he had received the usual announcements from [Heaven's Voice].
[Congratulations to the ascender for successfully upgrading your talent to Silver Grade]
[A new effect is unlocked under your talent, [Fundamental Merge - Mass Merge]]
[The number of slots under the [Fudamental Merge] has been upgraded to 100 per day]
[Please pick one of the following three rewards]
1) Additional 10 slots under [Fundamental Merge] per day.
2) A High-level Golden Core Pill.
3) A High-level Moon Stone.
…
There were so many announcements from [Heaven's Voice] that it took some time for Leo to process what just happened.
'Number of merging slots has been doubled along with a new effect for the talent.'
First, Leo checked the changes in his [Fundamental Merge] and was extremely satisfied with them.
Since he had spent quite a huge sum of Moon Stones, Leo knew that it would take quite a long while before he could upgrade the Fundamental Merge once again.
Just now, the upgrade required high-level Moon Stones, 100 mid-level Moon Stones and 500 low-level Moon Stones.
Currently, the [Fundamental Merge] is at Silver Grade and to upgrade it to the Gold Grade, Leo knew that it would need at least 100 high-level Moon Stones along with thousands and thousands of mid-level and low-level Moon Stones respectively.
But still, he was satisfied with the changes that happened to his talent [Fundamental Merge].
'Fundamental Merge'
With a thought, Leo used his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to check the information on the talent.
…
Talent Name: Fundamental Merge.
Grade: Silver.
Use: 100 slots of merging per day.
Effect: Mass Merge.
Mass Merge: With a thought, the user can merge an infinite quantity of same-type and same-level items into high-level items and it will be considered as a single slot of merging.
Note: 10 units of items will be merged into high-level items.
Cooldown: Once a Month.
…
'What? I can merge an infinite quantity of items and they would be considered as a single slot of merging?'
When Leo learned about the information of the Mass Merge, he could not help but become shocked before becoming excited.
'It is a good effect that I can make good use of.'
With a slight smile on his face, Leo silently thought of where and when and how he had to use it.
[Please pick a reward and if the ascender doesn't pick it, the reward will disappear]
Just as Leo was becoming excited and happy about the changes in the [Fundamental Merge], he once again heard the announcement from [Heaven's Voice].
'It looks like [Heaven's Voice] is in a hurry. Let's pick the reward first and think about my benefits later.'
With that thought in mind, Leo didn't waste any time as he directly picked, 'I will get 10 slots per day.'
Even though the high-level Golden Core Pill tempted him, Leo knew that with his current status as the Guest Alchemist, he could buy it with enough contribution points.
'Even though a single low-level Golden Core Pill requires 10,000 contribution points and a high-level Golden Core Pill costs 100,000 contribution points, I can easily accumulate them with my alchemy skills.'
Since Leo had broken through to the Golden Core Realm, he could easily live for another 500 years without consuming any life-prolonging resources.
With such a long lifespan, Leo could accumulate many contribution points and could buy as many Golden Core Pills as he wants.
'Since I have the [Fundamental Merge], I don't have to buy the high-level Golden Core Pills, All I need to buy are mid-level Golden Core Pills and after I merge them into High-level Golden Core Pills, I can create my own army of Golden Core Realm Cultivators.'
With all these kinds of thoughts in his mind, Leo didn't hesitate to choose the first reward among the three rewards that [Heaven's Voice] showed him.
'With more slots of Fundamental Merge, I can merge more items and I can create my own army in this cruel cultivation world to help me in completing my [Ascending Mission].'
Before coming to this world, Leo didn't have any thoughts of creating his own sect; however, since he descended into the body of a sect leader, it gave him the idea to use the sect to complete his [Main Ascending Mission].
[The ascender's talent [Fundamental Merge] has gained another 10 slots of merging per day. Total slots are 110]
[Heaven's Voice] informed him about his rewards as Leo nodded his head in satisfaction.
'I wonder what are the requirements for upgrading the [Fundamental Merge] to the Gold Grade.'
Only by knowing the requirements, Leo could better prepare for himself. Hence, it was Leo's habit of checking out the requirements for the next level of the [Fundamental Merge].
[Quasi Divine Knowledge].
…
The upgrade requirements for the [Fundamental Merge] to become a Gold Grade are:
1) 100 High-level Moon Stones, 1000 Mid-level Moon Stones and 10000 Low-level Moon Stones.
2) Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation.
…
'Huh? My cultivation is one of the requirements for upgrading the talent?'
Leo raised his brows when he saw the second requirement for upgrading the [Fundamental Merge].
'It looks like it is really going to be a while until I upgrade the [Fundamental Merge] to the Gold Grade.'
Leo only thought about it for a while before shaking those thoughts away.
However, according to Leo's calculations, it won't be that long before he becomes a Nascend Soul Realm Cultivator.
'Anyway, I will be slow and start focusing more on developing my sect and I think I should use the Sect Creation Token much sooner than I imagined.'
Leo was having thoughts of using his Sect Creation Token to establish an official sect that was acknowledged by [Heaven's Voice] and the [Celestial Moon God].
'With the upgrade of my talent, I have completed the basic missions that I have created for myself. It is time to move out of the city and complete the other side missions.'
Soon, Leo stopped thinking about his grand ambitions and decided to focus on the basic steps that were needed to achieve those grand ambitions.
'Let's put a hold on today's merging session and enter another Grade 8 city to find some good cultivation resources.'
With that thought in mind, Leo strolled around the Purple Moon City for a while before deciding to leave the city.
'Why does this city not have any orphans?'
One of his side missions includes recruiting orphans.
Since he was planning to establish a sect and could have a huge quantity of cultivation resources, all he needed were the disciples for the sect.
Of course, there were some requirements for becoming a disciple of the sect and one of them was that they should at least have the tiniest bit of cultivation talent.
Even though Leo was an orphan in the past and had a cruel life, that doesn't mean that he would be a magnanimous person to help all the orphans in the world.
He would help those orphans that could help him in the future.
However, the problem right now was that the entire Purple Moon City didn't have a single orphan, making him guess that there was something wrong with it.
'Wait a second…there must be something about it in my predecessor's memories.'
Not having a single orphan in an entire city that was as big as Purple Moon City was definitely not a simple thing and Leo thought that he could find an answer in his memories.
The reason why Leo believed that he could find an answer in his memories was because his predecessor was able to find 12 orphans and made them join his sect.
'So, it is like this.'
Finally, Leo found an answer after searching his predecessor's memories for a while.
According to the memories, Leo learned that all the orphans in the cities were recruited by the cities a decade back as servants and those who showed the talent for cultivation, would be promoted to disciples.
In this cultivator world, almost everyone had a cultivation talent; however, most of them would remain as Qi-refinement cultivators thanks to their potential.
It was the same for the 12 disciples in Leo's Twilight Moon Sect; however, thanks to Leo's special cultivation resources, they were able to rapidly progress their cultivation.
'It looks like the only way to get more disciples is by poaching from the other sects.'
