As He Ao’s gaze lingered, the red flowing light gradually thinned until it was invisible to the naked eye.
He Ao reached out and touched the black core of the sword.
The rift in the sword’s core had a faint, sandpaper-like texture, its material indistinguishable.
This ancient sword was quite ordinary overall, with the sword’s core being the only unique feature.
Now that he thought about it, Nell’s acquisition of this sword also seemed overly dramatic.
He Ao reached into his collar and pulled out a black cross.
It seemed that the old shopkeeper decided to sell him the sword after seeing the black cross.
And this cross was given to Nell by a priest at his church school during his middle school years.
Perhaps the shopkeeper knew the strangeness of this sword and deliberately sold it to Nell, or maybe it was just out of pity for a fellow believer that he sold it to Nell at a low price.
The real reason would only be known once He Ao returned to Rock City and found that shopkeeper.
At this moment, the continuously moving vehicle suddenly shuddered to a halt.
After a while, noises of moving cargo came from outside the carriage.
The caravan seemed to have arrived at the Wanderer Camp.
He Ao leaned against a box containing weapons, waiting quietly.
The people who opened the vehicles and those who moved the cargo were generally not the same group,
For a large-scale caravan , to avoid theft by traitors, the password was typically held by just a few individuals.
They needed to open numerous vehicles, so they generally left for the next one after unlocking, with the cargo movers arriving a minute or two later.
Soon, the sound of a password being entered came from outside the door.
With a soft click, the lock was released, but the door was not opened.
He Ao slowly pushed the door open, and a white expanse unfolded before his eyes.
Straight ahead was the truck whose driver had already disembarked, followed by the long line of the caravan, set against the world covered in pristine white snow.
He Ao buttoned up his windproof coat, jumped off the truck, closed the door, and quickly rolled to one side.
This windproof coat was also pure white, blending into the endless snowy landscape.
Not far away, a security personnel holding a gun looked up in confusion, saw only the pure white snowscape, and then turned his gaze back.
These patrolling personnel were there to protect the cargo from being stolen.
He Ao raised his head from the snow, glanced at the armed security personnel, activated Super Memory, and then quickly crossed through the snow, disappearing behind the snow-covered slope.
But he didn’t go far, instead, he leaned against a snowdrift nearby and deactivates Super Memory.
Beside this snowdrift was a trap without any noticeable marks, blending seamlessly with the vast white terrain.
Clearly, the person who set this trap was an experienced Hunter.
And, in a sense, He Ao, with Ronald’s memories, was also an experienced Hunter.
Actually, there were more than one trap nearby; with these traps, even if He Ao encountered problems, he could quickly escape.
After determining the location of each trap, He Ao sat against the snowdrift and began to sort through the knowledge he had just received from ’Divine Inspiration’.
Firstly, the colossal entity perched at the mountain peak was most likely a Divine Being, but He Ao could not determine which Divine Being it was.
Moreover, it seemed that this Great Being had been gone for quite a while.
But even so, simply staring at it in the dream almost drove He Ao to madness, and his body nearly became the medium for its revival.
However, He Ao was not without gains.
During the process of looking directly at the other party, He Ao obtained a series of secret knowledge about Talent Sequences, which, according to his previous memories, should be from the same path.
Talent Sequence 5: Furious Man, Talent Sequence 23: Fighter, Talent Sequence 50: Martial Artist, Talent Sequence 98: Warrior, Talent Sequence 170: Bloodthirsty, Talent Sequence 242: Madman.
Among them, the Secret Medicine recipe from Furious Man to Warrior was complete, while Bloodthirsty’s Secret Medicine recipe lacked the ritual, and for Madman, he caught only a fleeting glimpse of the name.
If these Talent Sequences were on the same progression path.
He Ao already knew that ’Furious Man’ was F-level, ’Fighter’ was E-level, ’Martial Artist’ was D-level, so ’Warrior’ should be C-level, ’Bloodthirsty’ is B-level, and ’Madman’ is A-level.
This was a complete path of Talent Sequences from F to A.
In fact, He Ao already had the Secret Medicine recipes for ’Furious Man’, ’Fighter’, and ’Martial Artist’ in hand, thanks to the Ronald Camp.
This was the reason why Ronald Camp had been able to exist for so long; they possessed a complete Talent Sequence progression path from F to D.
However, they did not have the Secret Medicine recipe for ’Hunter’; Ronald’s father had operated it for many years, and it was only with the wealth accumulated over the years and treasures obtained from numerous adventures that he managed to exchange for a dose of ’Hunter’ Secret Medicine and the promotion ceremony.
Every C-level Secret Medicine was exceptionally precious, and their recipes were priceless treasures.
He Ao reviewed the information in his memory.
[Talent Sequence 5: Furious Man]
[Main ingredients: 1 Red Wolf heart, 5 Red Wolf fangs]
[Auxiliary materials: 30g charcoal powder, 50ml ice water]
[Mixing method: Grind the Red Wolf fangs into powder, mix with the charcoal powder, then add the chopped Red Wolf heart, pour in ice water and simmer for 2 hours, and remove the upper clear liquid.]
[Talent Sequence 23: Fighter]
[Main ingredients: 3 adult Moonworms, 5g Moonworm Grass]
[Auxiliary materials: 3g dry peach blossom, 50ml osmanthus tree sap]
[Mixing method: Wrap the Moonworms in Moonworm Grass and dry them, grind into powder, add the dry peach blossom and osmanthus tree sap consecutively and boil for 50 minutes.]
[Talent Sequence 50: Martial Artist]
[Main ingredients: 50ml Diamond Force Monkey’s blood from the heart, 2 Shadow Wolf eyes]
[Auxiliary materials: 3g dead tree bark, 1 dew-covered rose, 1 raw fish]
[Mixing method: Soak the Shadow Wolf eyes in the Diamond Force Monkey’s heart blood for 2 hours, remove the Shadow Wolf eyes, add the juice made from pounded dead tree bark and the dew-covered rose, simmer for 1 hour, then filter the brew and pour into the fish belly to sit for 3 hours.]
These three Secret Medicine recipes were ones that He Ao had known before. His reason for leaving the city to enter the wilderness this time was to prepare these three types of Secret Medicine to quickly level up.
Because he already had the memories of mastering these three Talent Sequences from Ronald, regaining mastery would be much easier.
However, upon closer inspection, the Secret Medicine recipes that He Ao had mastered were lacking some elements compared to the three recipes he had learned about through ’Divine Inspiration’.
For example, the recipe for ’Furious Man’ was missing the main ingredient Red Wolf fangs, ’Fighter’ was missing the auxiliary materials dry peach blossom and osmanthus tree sap, ’Martial Artist’ was lacking the raw fish and all steps related to the fish, and it was also missing the auxiliary material dead tree bark.
Thus, it was common for people in the camp to fail in advancement, and often only the exceedingly strong or those with high Talent could successfully advance. As a result, even after mastering the Talent Sequence, the Transcendents of the camp still had to undergo strict assessments and evaluations to obtain Secret Medicine of the next level.
This was both a trial and a protection.
By the time He Ao had organized the information in his mind, the sound of moving vehicles came from afar.
The convoy had completed the trade and was beginning to leave.
He Ao straightened his clothes and, holding the chip containing the adult learning material, walked towards the nearby Wilderness Wanderer Camp.
