I Can Give Talent

Chapter 14 – Blessing

Today will be the first day of Leyvi going into seclusion. They had divided the qi refining pills and the demonic boar meats almost equally. Anda gave Leyvi more peak-grade qi refining pills due to his weaker talent right now.

Leyvi first checked the talent bead since it had been a while he looked at it. As usual, the cursed words needed to be said first.

[Talent Bead |Level 4| EXP 876/5000]

[Talent list: Sturdy, Chess, Gardening, Cooking, Sword, Dig]

[Recipient: Anda | Alchemy and Fragrant | 99/100]

[Recipient: Stripey | Steal and Stealth | 80/100]

[Host benefit: Fire Affinity, Tree Climbing Expert]

"The talent bead is level 4 now." Leyvi was not surprised. Anda had been refining pills so many times in the last two months. Of course, the experience points gained would be a lot too.

There were a bunch of new talents too. Gardening, Cooking, Sword and Dig. Sword? Would this talent let people become sword cultivators? Based on what he has seen, whoever he gave this talent to later would definitely be able to become a fearsome sword cultivator.

As for Gardening, Cooking, and Dig, although they sounded like normal talents, Leyvi didn't dare to underestimate them anymore or he would be shocked again and again.

The problem that has been bothering him was when would he be able to give all these talents. He didn't know that many people nor was he close with them. Should he just give the talents casually? You got a talent, you got a talent, everybody got a talent! Should he act like that?

Forget it, after he ended his seclusion later, he decided to go out with Anda and explore a bit. Maybe he would have a chance to give talent to someone worthy. Also, he needs to inform Anda later if there's any talent on the list that she wants.

"Stripey, I'm going to enter seclusion so you can just play in the mountain or go outside the sect if you want to steal. Remember, only steal from bad people and don't get caught," Leyvi sent a mental message to Stripey.

During the past two months, Leyvi has been teaching Stripey how to become a vigilante. Stripey would go out of the sect to the nearby towns and cities to steal things back from gangsters, robbers, or scammers and give them back to the original owners. Nobody would have thought that a small monkey would be able to do all of these.

Leyvi took out the aptitude-testing artifact. Before he entered the sect, both he and Anda got tested by the aptitude-testing artifact and it showed an Orange color for both of them which indicates middle-grade spirit root. From low grade to top grade, the color indicators are red, orange, yellow, and green.

It is said that there are higher-graded spirit roots which are human-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade. They were indicated by the colors blue, purple, and black. However, Leyvi wasn't sure about this since he never heard of anyone with this aptitude yet.

Leyvi tested his aptitude again and one of the indicators stopped at attributeless, he was not surprised by this result, and the other indicator stopped at the green color. Top grade aptitude!

"Hahaha! I'm a genius now!" While Leyvi was happy about his new level of aptitude, he remembered that Anda could absorb and refine spiritual energy much faster than him. Leyvi gulped. Could it be the legendary Human grade? Oh no! He would be suppressed on the bed for a long time by her.

With all set, Leyvi begins his seclusion session. He took out 3 bottles of peak-grade qi refining pills. Since he had experienced the effect of high-grade qi refining pills, it was time to experience peak-grade qi refining pills.

Leyvi had already extrapolated the effect of the pill in his mind previously, but when he consumed it, experiencing it with his own body, it still surprised him how potent the effect of a peak-grade pill was. The difference between low grade and peak grade is just like heaven and earth! 

Refining both grades requires the same amount of ingredients, but the effect was vastly different. No wonder the Alchemist world places more importance on Alchemist who can refine higher-graded pills instead of higher-tier pills. It saves countless amounts of ingredients. Imagine if all of the spirit herbs he got were only refined into low-grade qi refining pills. Leyvi's heart felt the pain just thinking about it.

...

2 years later.

Leyvi is 22 years old now. He had consumed all the qi refining pills in his possessions. He had now reached the peak stage of the Qi Refinement realm! Just a little bit short of the Foundation Building realm. 

It was a realm so far away from him before he got the talent bead. Now it was just a few steps away. He also managed to achieve complete mastery of the second level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill. The second level incorporates movement skills to the attacks. He can now use the fiery movement skill to jump and run in the air. 

Unfortunately, the level of the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill stopped here so he would have to learn another martial skill that is suitable for the Foundation Building realm later or create a new level of Fiery Traiblazer martial skill by himself.

In these two years, Leyvi met Anda a few times for a few days as ordered by the succubus panda to satisfy her needs. True to her promise, she refined some vigorous pills and Leyvi had to fight for his life for 3 days each time. In the end, in desperation, Leyvi developed a 'fiery little brother' skill derived based on the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill to finally win against Anda for the first time.

Anda then demanded that Leyvi develop the newfound skill even further. Leyvi felt like crying. He now has second thoughts about whether to have a harem or not.

Furthermore, Anda has entered the Foundation Building realm after just a year of seclusion. This news spread to the entire sect and alarmed all of the elders, even the sect leader of the Mountain Dew Sect, Gunung. 

Previously, some of the elders of the Alchemy Hall already had the intention to accept Anda as a personal disciple after finding out that she could consistently refine middle-grade alchemy products, but now it was no longer possible.

All the high-ranked elders were fighting to accept Anda as a personal disciple but in the end, the sect leader, Gunung decided that Elder Vivian, the leader of the Alchemy Hall would be the most suitable teacher for the alchemy genius Anda.

Elder Vivian is the most desirable woman in the sect even though she always dresses modestly. For a long time, countless pursuers had come to court her but they all failed. She would rather refine alchemy products in her free time than entertain these annoying people.

However, a few years ago she married Elder Bobori, the leader of the Law and Order Hall. Even though many were heartbroken and held a grudge against him for snatching the woman of their dreams, nobody dared to even confront him.

Many people wondered how Elder Bobori managed to win the heart of Elder Vivian because he was far from handsome. He was not ugly but he looked too fierce. A stare from him could make the faint-hearted to piss their pants.

And so, Anda became the personal disciple of Elder Vivian, which also means she was a core disciple now. Elder Vivian would teach her many refinement techniques and all the tier-2 pill recipes she knows. What surprised Elder Vivian was that, Anda's alchemy talents were frighteningly high. She quickly learned how to refine all of the tier-2 pill recipes and most of the products reached middle-grade level.

 In the end, Elder Vivian taught her to refine the simplest tier-3 pill which doesn't require a special fire, and Anda succeeded. Some low-grade tier-3 pills were refined by an early-stage Foundation Building realm cultivator, only a handful of Alchemy genius can do this.

What does this mean? It means that Anda was now a full-fledged Alchemy Master! She went from Alchemy Student to Alchemy Teacher and Alchemy Master in just a short amount of time. What Elder Vivian didn't know was that Anda was still hiding her true alchemy abilities. Only Leyvi knew her true power in alchemy as well as in bed. 

Elder Vivian decided to hide the fact that Anda was an Alchemy Master and only revealed that she was a genius Alchemy Teacher to the sect to avoid unnecessary attention from bad actors. She already experienced being plotted on by someone who covets her body previously, if not because of her now husband managed to discover the plot and save her in time, she would already become a plaything for those animals.

She loved this personal disciple of hers so much that she offered to refine for her a tier-3 beauty product that could remove the birthmark around her eyes. However, for some reason, she didn't want it. 

"Anda, why do you not want the tier-3 skin beautification cream? I noticed that you would be a bit upset if people talked about it." Elder Vivian treated Anda more like a little sister than a disciple. After all, she also has a blood younger sister, so she preferred acting as the big sister.

"I'm upset because people talked bad about my birthmark," Anda replied calmly.

"There is nothing bad about my birthmark,"

"It is a blessing of a lifetime."
