I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Sofia unconsciously closed her eyes, as she felt the gooey liquid engulf her entire body, she felt her entire body wrapped into a soft gelatinous matter, it felt strangely warm, as if she bathed on hot springs. She heard a Gulu Gulu sound in her ears as the process continued for 30 seconds before the gooey liquid stopped moving.

She opened her eyes, and she saw Fein scanning her up and down with a hint of curiosity on his face. She spread her and looked at her hands that has a silver coating. Just like her arms, even her face, no. The gooey liquid coated every part of her. She began to stretch her hands and feet, she didn't feel any sense of obstruction. Contrary to it, she felt a bit more flexible than before. So she attempted all kinds of movements.

Fein looked at Sofia with wonder as she do some flexible postures like professional gymnastics.

Does it have still an effect like that? But why it didn't show in the Interface?

To be honest, Sofia looked like a female version of Venom with the difference of her being silvery white.

"So how do you feel?" Fein grinned and went beside her.

Sofia stopped her movement, as she face him with a joyous smile evident on her face. "It's excellent! Thank you..."

"You don't need to thank me at all, it's a part of your contribution. After all, without your destruction energy, we won't be able to defeat the Platinum Statue. In fact, I'm also not sure if we can really open the Inheritance Scroll without defeating it. Because I feel that it was some form of trial.

Sofia nodded at this, what Fein said made sense to her. What happened to the Underground Temple was akin to a trial, the arrangement of the obstacle is artificial like it was carefully planned. Thus, it makes sense that they have to solve them all in order to open the Inheritance Scroll. For now, it's all speculation though...

"But in the end, we manage to open it, it seems the reward really matched the danger. Putting our life in the line doesn't seem to be in vain" Sofia continued.

"Well, I think so too" Fein nodded in approval.

He turned his head at the two final items. He plans to open the sheepskin scroll for the finale as his instinct says it's the most valuable item. He stretched his arms toward the bottle of pills that exudes a strong medicinal scent. The pills would change colors from red to purple every minute. He examined it using his eyes, the pill has some black rectangular three dots drawn on it giving him a mysterious feeling as he can't put his finger on it.

"That's a medicinal pill, my father told me once that, Alchemy was an ancient profession. Some of the strongest Alchemist can turn copper into gold, make a pill that can make one have eternal youth, and some pills with different kinds of magical abilities." Sofia began to share her knowledge as she saw his clueless face.

'Damn! I need to find out how this alchemy stuff works. With my talent, I'm sure that I would have a future with it. The only problem I see is the lack of information regarding this.'

"Is there still Alchemist to this day?" Fein asked a crucial question.

Regarding this, Sofia shook her head with regret.

"No, the alchemical manuals are far and few. Those manuals are in the hands of big sects, even then, great talent is needed to become one. Countless sects and organizations invested uncountable resources in promising geniuses that have a talent in Alchemy but they failed to produce a master. The ratio is only as difficult as producing an S-rank degu user"

'Well, if we are talking about talent, then that's not a problem to me at all.' Fein thought in his mind.

He only has to worry about how to get the corresponding knowledge. After pondering about his future plans, Fein turned his gaze to the bottle of red pills in his hand. He activated his probe ability and saw the relevant information in his interface.

Name: Blood Purification Pill (5x)

Type: Alchemical Pill

Effects: The pill can purify the bloodline of the user upon consumption by 65%. There's a slim chance of mutation.

'Bloodline?? Like Voli and Aoi's mythical beast bloodline? Can it also work on Vampires?' Fein was at loss.

It would mean that he won't be able to use the bloodline purification pill himself. He can only give the three to his three companions. As for the rest, he would keep it until he have a bloodline. After all, it would be a waste not to use it.

"Well, the effect of pills only works for creatures with bloodlines. I will give one pill for each" Fein gripped the seal of the bottle tightly and turned it in a circular manner.

*Pop!*

The sound of the bottle being opened reverberated into the surroundings. The strong medicinal scent earlier intensified. Fein knew that the stronger the scent of pills, the stronger the efficacy. It had been a piece of common knowledge even amongst the doctors. Specifically, herbalists.

Fein carefully took out the contents of the bottle in his hands, he held the pill between his fingers and raised his eyes.

He felt the pills throbbing. Sofia looked at the pill in Fein's hand, she felt her blood cheer for an inexplicable reason. "That pill, I want it"

"Well take this" Fein lost interest in the pill and gave one to each of them. "Voli eat this"

Fein threw the pill into Voli's mouth... The latter just opened his mouth, and he manage to catch it.

Sofia and Fein looked at Voli intently to see the result.

One second.

Thirty seconds.

Two minutes...

And nothing happened.

"It seems, the type of pill that needed to be digested or something. We would probably see the result in the future." Fein said his guess.

"Aoi catch this" Sofia raised the pill in her hand and tossed it to Aoi.

Just like Voli, nothing happened. Fein decided to focus on the last item. The scroll is made of sheepskin. He stroked the rough texture of the paper, the sheepskin had experienced the baptism of time yet it didn't have any sign of deterioration.
