885 Errand Boy 3 (2/2)

Dyon nodded, ”I understand.”

Dyon could immediately tell what his grand teacher was thinking. He had some things to do that required hiding his identity, so he couldn't very well use the Life Stealing ability liberally, or else it would be very obvious who he was. But, he still wanted to use the weapon. In that case, he would likely be hunted down for his treasures.

That said, Dyon wasn't too worried about it. Fists spoke louder than words.

Taking the sword and strapping it diagonally across his back, Dyon thought of something else, ”I think I should boost my energy cultivation talent. Currently, it's too poor, and I don't plan on absorbing the energy kernel.”

'I was going to suggest that as well. There are quite a few herbs here capable of doing this. Although, keep in mind, that such treasures only work once. That said, because there are so many different kinds here, you wouldn't have to take the same one twice anyway.'

”What are your suggestions?”

'Cultivation talent is split into grades by the abilities of your meridians. Although your current meridians were of the third grade, within your body, they're only capable of functioning as the equivalent of the ninth grade since they were transplanted. Much too pitiful.'

From ninth through first grade, lowest to highest, talent of meridians was ranked. Usually, only meridians of the third grade and above can withstand tempering by Gama energy. Lower grade meridians can't handle the pressure.

Those with God constitutions have first grade meridians by default, although it was also possible for those with God constitutions to also have first grade meridians, it was less sure. This level is the second highest tier for meridians. This was because above first grade meridians were Deity meridians.

Unlike first grade meridians, one isn't born with Deity meridians, it can only be trained up. Only those with third, second and first grade meridians have a chance to do so.

In order to train up to Deity level meridians, one needs either a faith seed, faith of a Legatee, or a True Deity bloodline. Of these three, the last makes upgrading the easiest, while the first makes upgrading the hardest.

As for Dyon, these were things far outside of his reach. Although his transplanted meridians were originally of the third grade, it was ”lost in translation”, so to speak. Currently, any talent evaluation would have him and the mere ninth grade.

'The good news is that since these meridians were originally of the third grade, it'll be slightly easier to upgrade than a true ninth grade set of meridians. It will still take some time, though.'
