Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

That evening, Jiang Chuan logged off.

When he took off his helmet and came out of the bedroom, Wang Xiulan was busy in the kitchen.

The sound of the spatula sizzling as it stirred the oil filled the living room with a rich aroma of scallions.

Jiang Mingyuan sat on the sofa, holding the remote control, watching the news on TV.

Jiang Chuan carried the exquisite wooden box into the living room and placed it on the coffee table.

Jiang Mingyuan raised his head and his gaze fell on the wooden box.

The box is exquisitely crafted, made of top-quality rosewood, with silver-white metal trim around the edges. It's clearly not an item that ordinary people can afford.

"What is this?"

Jiang Mingyuan put down the remote control.

Jiang Chuan didn't answer immediately. He went into the kitchen and pulled Wang Xiulan out. Wang Xiulan was still holding a spatula, looking completely bewildered: "What are you doing? The food in the pot is going to burn!"

"It won't burn, Mom. Come out first, I have something to say."

Wang Xiulan was pulled into the living room by him and was also stunned when she saw the wooden box on the coffee table.

"Mom, please sit down."

Wang Xiulan sat down with some skepticism, still clutching the spatula in her hand.

Jiang Chuan opened the wooden box.

The items inside gleamed with a warm glow under the incandescent light of the living room.

Snow lingzhi, scrophularia, and dragon-tiger pills were laid out on the table one by one. The fragrance of the herbs and the slight bitterness of the pills mingled together, filling the small living room.

Wang Xiulan froze, the spatula slipped from her hand and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"What...what are all these?"

Her voice trembled slightly. Neither of them had ever seen such things before, but she recognized Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. Just by looking at their appearance, she knew these things were ridiculously expensive.

Jiang Mingyuan rubbed his eyes, picked up the box of Dragon Tiger Pills, and carefully examined the label.

The label bore a logo he recognized.

Three water droplets form a circle, with a small sun in the center.

The Fountain of Youth is the top-tier supplier of elixirs in the Origin Realm. Even the lowest-grade elixirs are priced in the tens of thousands, and they are often in short supply.

He put the Dragon Tiger Pill back into the box, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Chuan with a deep gaze: "Where did all these things come from?"

Jiang Chuan didn't rush to explain.

He sat down opposite his parents, considered his words carefully, and then said, "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you, but please don't get excited."

Wang Xiulan and Jiang Mingyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing unease in each other's eyes.

"I'm actually not an F-level talent."

Jiang Chuan said.

There was a two-second silence in the living room.

Wang Xiulan chuckled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, child? Your father and I both have E-level talent. If you're not F-level, what are you?"

"No, Dad, Mom, the talent I awakened is SSS-level!"

Jiang Chuan stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and a golden light shone from his fingertips, like a miniature arrow gathering in his palm. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire living room as if it were daytime.

The shape of the light changed continuously in his palm, eventually settling into the phantom of a golden longbow.

The bowstring was taut.

It was as if an invisible arrow would be shot out at any moment.

羿！

The phantom of an SSS-level talent danced in his palm.

That kind of energy fluctuation, originating from the very source of life and of supreme power, needs no explanation.

Anyone who sees it will instinctively understand that it possesses a power that transcends ordinary perception.

Wang Xiulan covered her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Jiang Mingyuan's hands were trembling slightly.

He had never seen an SSS-level talent before; he had only heard snippets of it in those unattainable rumors that had nothing to do with his life.

He never imagined that his son, the son of an E-level warrior and an E-level tailor, would have an SSS-level talent!

"this……"

Jiang Mingyuan's voice was hoarse: "How is this possible?"

"The law of decreasing bloodline is not absolute." Jiang Chuan put away his light, his tone very calm: "There will always be exceptions, and I am that exception."

Jiang Mingyuan remained silent for a long time. He reached out and picked up the box of Dragon Tiger Pills, holding it in his palm. It felt like an unreal dream.

"you mean……"

What I mean is, you can retire now.

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "I'll take care of this family from now on. Dad, your back isn't good, so please don't go down into the mine anymore. Mom, you too, you've worked hard your whole lives, it's time to enjoy your retirement."

Wang Xiulan's tears welled up again.

"no."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mingyuan said, "If the two of us suddenly resign, it will definitely attract unnecessary attention. We need to take this step slowly and try not to arouse any suspicion."

Jiang Chuan felt helpless, but at least his parents accepted his suggestion, so he let them go.

……

The next morning, Jiang Chuan arrived at the Craftsmen's Pavilion, where Yuan Ziyi had already prepared everything in advance.

The two set off immediately.

The secret realm is located in a secluded valley.

The entrance was a furnace. As Jiang Chuan stepped in, a raging fire immediately ignited within the furnace, gradually engulfing his figure.

[Hint: Challenge the Treasure Trove (Normal Difficulty)?]

【Yes! 】

……

call!

The scorching air rushed towards us.

The moment Jiang Chuan stepped into the secret realm, he felt as if he were in a furnace. He opened his eyes and looked around.

This is a desolate and scorching plain. The sky is gray-black, and the sun cannot be seen. Only a layer of dark red light covers the entire world, like an inverted furnace lid, locking all the heat inside.

"No wonder dozens of people died and there was no harvest."

Jiang Chuan wiped away his sweat.

A first-tier professional's constitution is at most a few dozen points. In this environment, just standing there will cause them to continuously lose health, let alone fighting or exploring in depth.

Of those newcomers sent in by Yuan Ziyi, probably half were not killed by monsters, but rather died from the heat.

However, Yuan Ziyi was prepared for this.

Jiang Chuan took out a bead about the size of a thumb from his backpack. It was pure white and cool to the touch.

The Frost Jade Bead is crafted from high-grade ice-type materials. When carried on the body, it continuously releases cold air to resist high-temperature environments.

The effect wasn't miraculous.

But it was enough for him to move around normally in the secret realm without being disturbed by the high temperature.

"A good item worth 20,000 yuan; this is really a luxury for the next dungeon run."

Jiang Chuan stuffed the cold jade bead into his collar, and the coolness spread along his chest, making him feel much more comfortable.

He took out his golden longbow, nocked an arrow, and walked deeper into the parched earth.

They hadn't gone far when the first monster appeared.

It was a wandering humanoid monster.

His body was muscular and strong, his flesh was bluish-black, he wielded a large iron hammer, and his eyes burned with dark green flames.

【The Soul of a Craftsman: ???】

The difference in levels is too great.

Jiang Chuan couldn't even find out the most basic information about the other party.

He drew his longbow to its full extent.

Then let go.

call out! !

The arrow shot through the air, leaving a golden trail, like a falling meteor, piercing right through the monster's chest!

-104829!

True damage!

The monster was torn apart from the ground, letting out a silent roar.

[Hint: Defeating the Artisan's Soul (Level 52) grants you +3000 experience points! Since you have reached your current level's experience limit, you can convert your experience points into skill and talent proficiency!]

"Experience points can actually be converted into talent proficiency... Can it upgrade the level of 'Extracting Everything'?"

Jiang Chuan's heart stirred.

[Upgrade failed; this talent has already been upgraded to the maximum level!]

"Alright."

Jiang Chuan's second goal was to acquire the SSS-level talent [Yi]. This time, he did not fail and successfully converted the experience points, but there is still a gap between him and upgrading this talent to two stars.

He first went to the monster's corpse.

Extract all things, activate!

Swish!

A wisp of pale blue energy, visible to the naked eye, entered Jiang Chuan's palm.

[Extraction successful! Wisdom +30!]

[Extraction successful! Item obtained: Artisan's Spirit Crystal (Grade D) x1!]

Jiang Chuan picked up the crystal with some surprise.

According to the information provided by Yuan Ziyi, the drop rate of this item should be very low. Her subordinates usually have to farm for two or three months to get one.

However, he can obtain it 100% through [Extraction of All Things].

"Looks like we might make a fortune."

Jiang Chuan was delighted.

Keep going.

He encountered twenty or thirty artisan souls along the way.

After defeating all the enemies, not only did his Intelligence attribute reach its maximum value of 1500 points, but he also obtained a large number of Artisan Spirit Crystals, and his SSS-level talent [Yi] was finally upgraded to two stars.

[Yi - SSS Rank]

[Level: Two Stars]

【Effect 1: Passive, your ranged attacks ignore the target's defense and distance, and will always hit】

【Effect 2: Passive, each attack deals additional damage equal to 15% of the user's maximum health】

【Effect 3: Passive, after attacking the same target nine times, 100% of the target's maximum health will be forcibly deducted】

[Note: Ten suns were born, and Yi shot down nine of them. The legendary bow used by the god Yi to shoot down the suns later fell to earth...]

……

After the talent level is upgraded, not only does the additional damage of effect ② increase to 15%, but a third effect is also added.

Nine arrows will surely kill.

The effect...

It only shows its effect on units with high HP.

Among the enemies Jiang Chuan has encountered so far, very few can withstand even two of his arrows, let alone nine. Anyone who could withstand nine arrows would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.

It takes one million proficiency points to upgrade an SSS-level talent to three stars.

It's possible to collect them all during this dungeon run.

So Jiang Chuan shifted his focus and began upgrading his A-level talent, [Emperor's Oath], to see what changes would occur after the talent was upgraded.

at the same time.

His exploration of the hidden realm continues unabated.

After crossing a mountain ridge, he encountered the second type of monster in the secret realm.

Those were broken weapons scattered on the ground—swords, spears, staffs, bows and arrows. These weapons had developed sentience in the secret realm and would automatically attack any living being that approached.

[Soldier's Soul: ???]

The attributes are still not visible.

However, this did not prevent Jiang Chuan from killing them one by one with a single arrow.

He walked up to the completely broken weapons.

Initiate the extraction of all things.

Swish!

[Extraction successful! Strength +30! Since your Strength attribute has reached its maximum, it has been automatically converted into 15 points of Agility!]

Extraction successful! Items obtained: Meteorite Iron x1, Adamantite x1, Mithril x2!

"The soul of a craftsman can be used to extract craftsman spirit crystals, while these weapon souls can be used to extract rare metals."

"The items that drop in this secret realm are all quite valuable."

Jiang Chuan understood.

No wonder Yuan Ziyi was willing to give up one of her school places in exchange for his help.

Meteorite iron, refined gold, and mithril are all core materials for equipment of gold grade and above. They are priced by the gram and are often hard to find.

You can get tons of loot from just one monster in the Craftsman's Tomb; it's practically an open-air gold mine.

Even in the hands of ordinary people, this is an inexhaustible gold mine.

With this secret realm, even without the business of the Craftsmen's Pavilion, the Yuan family can still stand strong for thousands of years.

but.

These valuable treasures are now all his.

Jiang Chuan advanced steadily without encountering any danger.

The effects of SSS-level talents are simply too powerful.

It guarantees a hit, allowing him to snipe targets remotely from outside the monster's line of sight.

Moreover, thanks to Yi's passive ability, every arrow he fires deals true damage.

Every arrow ignores defense!

Anyone else, even a seventh-tier professional, might not have it as easy as him in this secret realm!

Half an hour later.

Jiang Chuan successfully arrived at the front of a large rift valley.

The rift valley stretches across the land, about 100 meters wide, with dark red magma flowing at its bottom, radiating billowing light and heat.

"Huh? How come there's a lava river here?"

Jiang Chuan opened the map and compared it repeatedly.

It was determined quickly.

This area was not on Yuan Ziyi's map.

She wouldn't be foolish enough to lie to herself; that's a change that only happened after the incident in the secret realm.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the other side of the rift valley. If he wanted to continue forward, he would have to cross this lava river.

But he didn't have a fire-resistant vehicle.

How should we get through this?

Jiang Chuan descended to the bottom along the edge of the rift valley.

at this time.

He was less than ten meters away from the lava river.

The cold air from the Jade Bead was running frantically, but against the heat of the entire lava river, the item could only play a negligible role.

Jiang Chuan's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

This magma...

It doesn't seem as scary as I imagined?

To verify his conjecture, he approached the lava river step by step. Suddenly, a spark flew from his body; his pants had spontaneously combusted from the intense heat.

Jiang Chuan simply took off all his clothes.

Then, naked, he walked to the lava river and reached out to touch the hot, flowing magma.

-100.

-100.

-100.

A string of numbers appeared above my head.

Jiang Chuan only felt hot, but it was still within a tolerable range.

Sure enough, after his physique reached 1500 points, his body became inhumanly strong. Even magma, which would be deadly to ordinary people, caused him very little damage...

What else is there to say? Just consider it a free hot shower!

thump!

Jiang Chuan jumped into the lava river.

As his entire body came into contact with the lava, his health began to drop at an accelerated rate.

But for Jiang Chuan, who has a full million health points.

It's still just a drop in the ocean.

not to mention.

He also has the talent for rapid healing.

The automatic recovery effect brought by 1500 points of constitution alone, coupled with the rapid healing amplification, would allow him to survive in the lava pool forever!

"call……"

Jiang Chuan touched the hair on his head. It hadn't been burned off. Hair was also part of his body, so it naturally benefited from the physical enhancement.

He even scooped up some lava and rubbed it all over his body.

"That feels so good!"
