96: Top Ten Promotion Materials

Inside the carriage, the rich life aura gradually receded.

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes; in the depths of his pupils, stars seemed to flicker and then settled into a profound calm.

He felt the surging new power within him—a vast sensation far exceeding Silver-level, yet bound by some invisible rule.

"Silver-level Tenth Stage… attributes skyrocketed, but my professional level hasn't broken through."

Lin Feng understood.

The energy within him had accumulated to the critical point for advancement, but he hadn't yet completed the 'Heavenly Dao' advancement mission to condense a higher-level energy core.

However, the mysterious core within him, which was nurtured by the Alien Queen's feedback and had a tiny figure born within it emitting faint rule power, was fundamentally far beyond ordinary Gold-level cores!

"It seems that even with a divine item like star marrow, I still can't break the 'Heavenly Dao' rules."

"Although star marrow brought about an evolution of life origin, directly skipping the process of condensing a Gold-level crystal core, professional level and the 'recognition' of Heavenly Dao still require completing specific procedures."

"This advancement mission will likely be even more extraordinary."

As if to confirm his conjecture, the moment his thought landed, a cold, mechanical, yet grandly willed prompt sounded directly in the depths of his soul.

【Detected that host's crystal core strength has exceeded the Silver-level threshold!】

【Detected qualitative change in host's crystal core!】

【Special advancement conditions met!】

【Triggered: Gold-level Professional Advancement Mission (Special!)!】

【Mission Name: Foundation of the Life Source Stone!】

【Mission Ring: First Ring (Total three rings)!】

【Mission Objective: Collect the following ten rare materials, and use their origin power to stabilize and activate the potential of the dark gold crystal within your body, laying the foundation for finally condensing a Gold-level life crystal core!】

【Mission Time Limit: None (After the mission is triggered, professional level advancement will be suspended until the mission is completed or abandoned).】

【Mission Reward: Formal promotion to Gold-level professional! Unlock Gold-level professional authority! Rule Power affinity increased!】

【Mission Failure Penalty: The 'little figure' within the dark gold crystal will be torn apart due to failed breakthrough, permanently damaging the potential of the life origin, and all creatures related to the life origin will also be affected, their levels permanently locked, unable to advance!】

The prompt disappeared, and a list of materials, shimmering with golden light, was clearly imprinted in Lin Feng's consciousness.

Below each material, its corresponding origin effect was noted:

star tempering bone jade: Contains stellar essence and earth marrow, can extremely strengthen bone density and toughness, enhance bone's capacity to withstand energy impacts, and bestow a faint stellar affinity upon bones, strengthening the understanding of nascent stellar trajectory rules, and of gravity and stellar power.

Nirvana Phoenix Bloodstone: A wondrous stone rumored to be formed from the essence blood dripped during a phoenix's nirvana, contains a trace of the life rule fragment of nirvana rebirth, can stimulate deep cellular potential, enhance life origin activity, and bestow extremely high resistance to flame and high temperatures, with a chance to comprehend Life Echo rule fragments, glimpsing the true meaning of life cycles and rebirth through fire.

Looking at these ten materials and their astonishing effects, even with Lin Feng's temperament, he couldn't help but gasp!

How were these Gold-level advancement materials?

These were clearly meant to forge a Transcendent-level body that combined numerous rule powers!

Each of these ten materials corresponded to an effect that enhanced the comprehension of a certain rule power!

Gathering them would not be a simple 1+1 effect, but would produce an unimaginable qualitative change!

However, after the shock came a heavy pressure.

Just the names of these ten materials were enough to deter ordinary professionals!

star tempering bone jade: Only exists in the cores of certain fallen ancient star fragments, or deep within special mineral veins soaked in star power for ten thousand years; extremely difficult to mine, and often guarded by powerful star beasts.

Void Spirit Dragon Tendon: An adult Void Spirit Dragon is at least a Transcendent-level existence, with elusive movements, traversing spatial rifts; hunting them for their main tendons? It's like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth!

abyssal giant turtle blood essence: The Nine-Turn Mystic Turtle itself is a Transcendent-level creature with heaven-defying defense, rare in number, long-lived, and secluded in deep seas or secret realms; wanting its blood essence? First, break through its shell, which is said to withstand even rule attacks!

soul nourishing ancient tree heart: A ten-thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Ancient Tree is a rare treasure itself, and its tree heart is the core of the core; once taken, the entire tree will wither. It only grows in secret realms with extremely dense specific spiritual energy, and is often regarded as a sacred tree by powerful spiritual demonic beasts or certain ancient races, with strict guardianship.

Nirvana Phoenix Bloodstone: The phoenix is already a mythical beast of legend, and the stone formed from its essence blood is even more elusive, only recorded sporadically in certain desperate lands with extremely active fire element rules or ancient ruins.

Sky-Rending Wind Roc True Feather: The Wind Roc royal family are overlords of the sky, unrivaled in speed among their peers; their core feathers are symbols of their power. To obtain them? Either defeat them or find their naturally shed old feathers.

Geomagnetic Mother Marrow: Buried deep in the Earth's core, an extreme environment where geomagnetic storms are enough to tear apart any non-Transcendent-level intruder; the collection process is fraught with peril.

Shadow Nightmare Flower: Grows in a bizarre environment, between reality and illusion; plucking it easily triggers nightmare backlash or alarms guarding shadow creatures.

Storm Essence Gold: Requires long-term searching in desperate lands with frequent thunderstorms, and one must withstand heavenly lightning strikes to distinguish its authenticity; a slight mistake can lead to complete annihilation.

Ten-Thousand-Year Frost Soul: The core of the polar regions, temperatures near absolute zero, a harsh environment, and powerful ice-element demonic beasts are entrenched there.

Any one of these ten materials, if it appeared on the market, would be enough to trigger a scramble among Gold-level or even Transcendent-level powerhouses, priceless!

They are not only rare, but their acquisition methods are also full of death traps, requiring powerful strength, heaven-defdefying luck, and the courage to delve into desperate lands.

Now 'Heavenly Dao' wants him to gather all ten simultaneously?

Lin Feng's brows furrowed deeply.

Trying to complete this advancement mission alone is almost an impossible task!!

"Should I go ask Zhao Tieying for help, but he will definitely use this as leverage and make other demands of me..."
