Chapter 373: Chapter 294 Epic Passive

When the announcement about claiming treasures was made, many of the big shots in the crowd showed little interest and didn’t immediately head to the Treasure Pavilion.

The current available talismans came in five grades: gray, green, blue, purple, and gold.

Golden Carp Talisman: 1;

Purple Carp Talisman: 4;

Blue Carp Talismans: dozens.

Judging by this, it likely required at least a Blue Carp Talisman to exchange for something even slightly decent.

Considering Dragon Sect’s prior status as a Burning Sun-level force, it wouldn’t be realistic for them to instantly distribute dozens of fourth-level materials, Epic Purple Cards, Epic Star Artifacts, or other fourth-grade items.

Thus, the Blue Carp Talisman appeared to pertain to items in the range of above third level but below fourth level.

Such items, however, were not particularly valuable to the many Shining Star-level elites present, and fell short of the worth of the Transcendence Tokens themselves.

After all, Qin Xiangyang was no philanthropic figure. As for the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder and Transcendence Tokens, resources he could personally generate were one thing.

But other treasures, which essentially required reaching into his own pocket, would naturally not be distributed so generously.

The truly good items were reserved for those elites genuinely willing to join Dragon Sect.

Under these circumstances, most attendees weren’t in a hurry to go. Even some of those initially inclined to explore the Treasure Pavilion hesitated, feeling it might damage their dignity.

The crowd was filled with Sun, Moon, and Star-level elites. If everyone else found the rewards unimpressive, then wouldn’t rushing over for a mere reward make one look exceedingly cheap?

As such, for a time, no one headed toward the Treasure Pavilion. Instead, people shared their experiences regarding the Transcendence Domain from earlier.

That said, Su Yuan and a few other lower-ranked Gold-level individuals harbored no such concerns, especially since the talismans in their possession were of notably high quality.

Regardless, given the rarity of the Golden Carp Talisman and Purple Carp Talisman, they ought to be exchangeable for some fourth-level spiritual materials or Epic-grade treasures, right?

As soon as Su Yuan and Huang Xiang heard they could exchange their talismans, excitement instantly lit up their faces.

Seeing that Su Yuan and the others seemed eager to visit the Treasure Pavilion, Qin Lianyun promptly offered, “Why don’t I take you to the Treasure Pavilion first?”

Su Yuan replied, “Alright!”

Huang Xiang politely added, “Thanks a lot!”

Qin Lianyun chuckled, “It’s no big deal!”

…

After rounding just one corner, Su Yuan and the group saw a grand gold-and-red hall, several stories high.

The entrance was blocked by a barrier of light, obscuring the interior. Outside the hall, an elder stood guard.

Though the elder’s posture was hunched, he was undeniably a legitimate Radiant Moon-level expert.

“Master Lianyun,” the elder greeted as he saw Qin Lianyun approaching, promptly rising to his feet.

In the past, Radiant Moon-level experts like this didn’t show such courteousness toward Qin Lianyun. But now that Qin Xiangyang had ascended to King-level, the benefits of “sheltering under a great tree” had elevated Qin Lianyun’s status considerably.

“No need to be so formal, Elder Mo.” Qin Lianyun replied warmly as he supported him briefly, before introducing, “These three are my friends. They’ve obtained Father’s Transcendence Tokens and wish to exchange for treasures.”

Elder Mo, already familiar with today’s arrangements, nodded in understanding before addressing Su Yuan and the others: “Friends, please present your Transcendence Tokens. Enter one by one.”

Qin Lianyun, Huang Xiang, and Luo Bingtong all turned their eyes to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan didn’t hold back, producing the Golden Carp Transcendence Token he had just obtained.

Elder Mo had initially not thought much of it, but the moment he saw the golden talisman in Su Yuan’s hand, he was utterly stunned.

“Gold—golden?”

If he wasn’t mistaken, the City Lord had said there shouldn’t theoretically be any Golden Carp Transcendence Tokens appearing among the attendees!

Elder Mo quickly buried his doubts, carefully examining the Golden Carp Transcendence Token in hand. After confirming it was authentic, he nodded approvingly.

“This is indeed a Transcendence Token. Please proceed, friend. Walk straight to the center of the hall.”

“Thank you, elder.” Su Yuan nodded politely, holding the Transcendence Token as he crossed the threshold past the entrance barrier and smoothly entered the hall.

The Treasure Pavilion was vast, with multiple layers inside, adorned with an array of items—minerals, Star Artifacts, Star Beast materials…

A dazzling variety of treasures stretched out along the walls.

Su Yuan skimmed through quickly; the items on the first floor were mostly first- and second-level objects, which didn’t capture his interest.

At the center of the hall stood a tiered pedestal surrounded by a smaller barrier setup.

Without much exploration, Su Yuan walked directly to the pedestal. The Transcendence Token in his hand resonated with the small barrier below, releasing a radiant glow.

“Golden Carp Transcendence Token, with an additional 20,000 Dragon Gate Coins. The following items are eligible for exchange (select up to three).”

Upon hearing the prompt, Su Yuan watched a layer of light rise before him, unveiling a trove of item descriptions.

Wandering Dragon Banner, Demon Sky Pearl, Taihao Mountain Shattering Hammer…

Just seeing the first three items caused Su Yuan’s heart to race.

“Epic Star Artifacts!”

Su Yuan’s mouth went dry in astonishment.

Though he had vaguely anticipated this, seeing three Epic Star Artifacts laid out before him still took him by surprise.

Inspecting them closely, each artifact was priced at 20,000 Dragon Gate Coins, clearly prepared for this grand occasion.

The power of the three artifacts was extraordinary—enough to make anyone covet them—but Su Yuan remained focused on his primary goal.

He forced himself to shift his gaze away from the Epic Star Artifacts and continued browsing.

Epic Star Cards, fourth-level spiritual materials, Demon Beast materials, high-grade elixirs… A myriad of treasures filled the list.

“Condensed Liquid Pill!”

Before long, Su Yuan’s eyes lit up as he finally found what he had been searching for!

Condensed Liquid Pill: 3,000 Dragon Gate Coins.

“If I choose an Epic Star Artifact, I’ll only be able to pick one, leaving no room for the Condensed Liquid Pill…”

“But if I go for the Condensed Liquid Pill, I can still select other items alongside it.”

After brief deliberation, Su Yuan made his decision.

*The best choices are not necessarily the ones suited for oneself.*

*What do I need the most right now?* Condensed Liquid Pills, and filling the remaining skill slots of the Gold-level!”

*Currently, I’m at the Gold Limit, with only two out of five skills slotted—Flame Sky Fire Control Technique and Void—leaving three slots completely empty.*

*While advancing from Gold Limit to Shining Star level is no easy feat, it’s possible to breakthrough before filling all vacant slots.*

*And if I do breakthrough, the unused skill slots will shut forever, resulting in a waste.*

*If there’s any hint of a chance to ascend to Shining Star-level, how could I let it slip by?*

*Thus, finding three suitable skills immediately is essential. If not, I need to at least secure back-up skills to ensure the slots are fully utilized before breaking through.*

“Advancing too swiftly only to be limited by skill slots?”

Su Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. This sort of dilemma wasn’t something most people would ever face.

*Fortunately, after reaching the Shining Star-level, skill slots decrease, eliminating this problem going forward.*

Su Yuan confirmed his desire for the Condensed Liquid Pill, deducting 3,000 Dragon Gate Coins.

Once his choice of the pill was finalized, he shifted his attention toward the Epic Star Cards.

Yet, Dragon Sect’s resources, unsurprisingly, couldn’t match those of the Sky Patrol Department, making the prospect of obtaining a Space-related Epic Star Card impossible.

If they did possess one, they certainly wouldn’t make it available for exchange.

“Without a Space-related skill, I’ll need to consider Fire skills or Saber techniques more closely…”

At this moment, there were three or four dozen options available, most valued at several thousand Dragon Gate Coins.

Su Yuan meticulously scanned the list of Epic Star Cards.

[Domineering Dragon Ascending Fist (2,400 Dragon Gate Coins)], [Flame Dragon Demonic Breaking Technique (3,200 Dragon Gate Coins)], [Nianhua Zhaiye Skill (4,100 Dragon Gate Coins)]…

Just as Su Yuan began resigning himself to the idea of selecting a Fire-type skill, something unique caught his eye:

[Left and Right Mutual Struggle]

[Grade: Epic]

[Introduction: A passive skill created thousands of years ago by a top-level King. Allows simultaneous use of different techniques with the left and right hands, avoiding any conflicts in Star Power.]

[Value: 13,000 Dragon Gate Coins]

“A skill like this exists? And it’s rare—a purely passive skill!” Su Yuan’s eyes lit up again as he scrutinized the description thoroughly.

Passive skills were absent from white, green, and blue skills.

Only Epic-grade or higher skills might feature passive enhancements.

Pure passive skills, particularly, were exceedingly rare.

This [Left and Right Mutual Struggle] might appear straightforward but was anything but ordinary.

For instance, Su Yuan could currently use the Sky Lock and Void Splitting Monument Hand with his left hand while wielding a sword in his right.

This was manageable since dividing focus in this manner and directing Star Power posed minimal challenges.

However, performing entirely different techniques simultaneously—a mix of magic, swordplay, or saber skill—would stretch concentration and create significant interference within his Star Power.

According to this card’s introduction, it not only enabled dual-tasking but avoided internal Star Power conflicts entirely…

This essentially allowed two individuals to fight side by side, doubling combat effectiveness as long as Star Power remained adequate!

On top of that, Su Yuan happened to possess two Star Artifacts…

“It’s decided!” Su Yuan exclaimed excitedly and selected [Left and Right Mutual Struggle].

“There are still plenty of points left—if all else fails, I can choose the [Flame Dragon Demonic Breaking Technique] next.”

Thrilled by this unexpected find, Su Yuan felt content and decided to let fate guide his remaining choices.

Continuing his search, Su Yuan halted as he came across another skill: [Dream Reflection].

[Dream Reflection]

[Grade: Epic]

[Element: Dream]

[Introduction: Grants the ability to project one’s insights and accumulated experiences from dreams into reality. Note: Gains from external sources cannot be replicated.]

[Value: 3,300 Dragon Gate Coins]

*A skill that allows dream-based accumulation to manifest in reality—such an ability feels both profoundly mystical and absurdly impractical.*

*Firstly, most Star Card Masters require very little sleep and rarely dream.*

*Secondly, few individuals could exert control over their dreams.*

*Thirdly, and most critically, “unable to replicate external gains” meant one couldn’t use it to absorb Star Power for realm advancement.*

But for someone capable of freely shaping their dreams, the value of this skill could soar exponentially!

“This skill…” Su Yuan paused as sudden inspiration struck.

“Last time, during the South Sea exchange for military merits, wasn’t there a skill embedded within an Epic Star Core? It allowed rapid dream-based retrospection of past events…”

“Ah yes, [Yesterday Reappears]!”
