[To upgrade basic healing skills, the master needs to pay Soul Crystal (Small) × 5 + 2700 Paradise Coins. Yes/No. 】

Seeing the cost required to upgrade basic healing skills to master level, Lin Yi did not show too much surprise.

It seems that the cost of upgrading your skills at the proficiency level is higher than that of the master level, but upon closer calculation, the cost of upgrading your skills at the master level is actually almost two to three times that of the proficiency level.

The market price of Soul Crystal (small) fluctuates between 2 and 3, and this is just the market price. The actual selling price is often higher.

This means that for each upgrade of a master-level skill, the minimum cost is around 10 Paradise Coins, which is far more than the cost of the mastery level.

Fortunately, Lin Yi still had a lot of soul crystals (small) in his hands, which he had collected and preserved before.

Although some of them had been used before, the total number of the remaining ones now, plus those collected later, reached fifty or sixty.

[Tip: The basic healing skill master has been upgraded to LV.10. ]

[To upgrade basic healing skills, the master needs to pay Soul Crystal (Medium) × 1 + 5400 Paradise Coins. Yes/No. 】

Lin Yi did not choose to continue upgrading for the time being, but took a look at the upgraded skill attributes.

[Master of Basic Healing Skills: LV.10]

Type: Passive skill

Skill Effect 1: After use, it can increase the priest's basic healing amount by 40% and reduce the priest's basic skill cooldown by 20%.

Skill Effect 2: The user can freely choose to activate the [Destiny Limit] ability.

Skill Effect 3: 15% of the healing amount becomes real healing amount, which cannot be affected by various means such as healing ban and healing reduction.

The basic healing amount has increased by 10% and the actual healing amount has increased by 5%. Although the increase does not seem significant in terms of skill values, the increase is very exaggerated due to the combined effect of various equipment and skills.

Next, Lin Yi continued to upgrade his basic healing skills to level 10.

As the sound of 10 soul crystals (middle) shattering rang out, Lin Yi felt the energy in his body begin to flow at an astonishing speed.

The originally restless power of the abyss gradually became stable, no longer as wild and unrestrained as before.

[Master of Basic Healing Skills: LV.20]

Type: Passive skill

Skill Effect 1: After use, it can increase the priest's basic healing amount by 50% and reduce the priest's basic skill cooldown by 20%.

Skill Effect 2: The user can freely choose to activate the [Destiny Limit] ability.

Skill Effect 3: 20% of the healing amount becomes real healing amount, which cannot be affected by various means such as healing ban and healing reduction.

Skill Effect 4: Increases the user's resistance to all attributes of abnormal energy, now increased by 5 points.

The newly appeared skill effect 4 looks ordinary, but for Lin Yi, the effect is very significant.

At least Lin Yi felt that the burden on his body was not so severe now.

That is to say, the core skill of Abyss Erosion can continue to be upgraded by one or two levels, but Lin Yi is not planning to upgrade this skill in the skill warehouse.

Lin Yi had asked about the Samsara Paradise before, and it turned out that the place of inheritance could not only be entered when the inheritance skill was activated.

In fact, the place of inheritance can be entered on weekdays, but Lin Yi needs to pay for the ticket.

Depending on the number of tickets consumed, the length of time Lin Yi can stay in the land of inheritance will also vary.

For example, if the ticket Lin Yi handed in was a Soul Crystal (small), then Lin Yi could stay in the inheritance site for 5 to 10 minutes.

If he chooses to use Soul Crystal (middle) as a ticket, his stay time in the inheritance land will be greatly increased to about one or two hours.

Of course, if Lin Yi has not come out when the time is almost up, you can choose to renew.

The reason why the Samsara Paradise uses soul crystals as the "travel fee" to enter the land of inheritance is that Hill's residual soul is in a dormant state most of the time, and it is the Samsara Paradise that consumes soul crystals to maintain Hill's existence.

In addition, a large number of extinct professional traditions are preserved in the Samsara Paradise.

Maintaining the operation of these inheritance spaces also requires a large amount of soul energy.

If Lin Yi wants to enter during non-inheritance time, he will need to pay out of his own pocket to bear part of the operating costs of the inheritance space.

This is why soul crystal can become the "ticket" to enter the land of inheritance.

At this moment, Lin Yi had a total of 47 soul crystals (middle) in his hand. Lin Yi began to hesitate whether to upgrade to a melee combat master or a master of basic healing skills.

These two skills are crucial to Lin Yi, and both require long-term accumulation and improvement.

After careful consideration, Lin Yi finally decided to prioritize upgrading his close combat master.

The main reason for his decision is that his current healing capacity is already quite sufficient, and can even be said to be "overflowing" in some cases.

In most cases, Lin Yi's healing abilities can meet the needs of the team, so there is no need to rush to upgrade to a master of basic healing skills.

In contrast, the skill of Melee Combat Master has not been improved for a long time.

[To improve melee combat, you need to pay Soul Crystal (Medium) × 10 + 45000 Paradise Coins. Yes/No. 】

After choosing to upgrade four levels in a row, forty soul crystals (middle) shattered in Lin Yi's hands.

At this moment, Lin Yi's consciousness was dragged into an unknown space.

In this strange space, all of Lin Yi's equipment disappeared, replaced by a simple martial arts uniform.

As soon as these close combat masters saw Lin Yi, they swarmed over him like a swarm of bees.

Some of them tried to wrestle Lin Yi to ambush, while others suddenly punched him.

Finally, these masters seemed to feel that this was not enough, so they kicked Lin Yi back and forth in the air like a ball.

This promotion experience was extremely unpleasant for Lin Yi.

His consciousness was besieged by these masters for two whole days before he was finally able to escape from that space and return to the skill improvement warehouse.

[Tip: Melee Combat Master has been upgraded to LV.24]

[Melee Combat Master: LV.24 (Passive)]

Skill effect: Increases melee combat attack power by 107%, greatly improving melee combat skills and reaction speed.

Lv.10 additional ability
Break through the surface with a point: Increase the penetration damage to the enemy by 20%.

Lv.20 additional ability
Critical Hit: Increases the damage of your next unarmed attack by 50%.

Seeing the improved attributes of the Melee Combat Master, Lin Yi felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body.

There was no way out. This time, Lin Yi could be said to have been beaten hard for two days.

Although his consciousness had returned to reality, his body unconsciously maintained a defensive posture.

After upgrading to melee combat master, the highlight is finally coming.

Lin Yi looked at the sword master. In the previous world, Lin Yi had upgraded the sword master to LV.39.

Now, this skill is about to reach the level 40 threshold.

[To upgrade to Sword Master, you need to pay Soul Crystal (Large) × 1 + 90000 Paradise Coins. Yes/No. 】

As a soul crystal (large) dissipated in Lin Yi's hand, Lin Yi's consciousness was once again brought to the ancient tree.

What is different from before is that the once lush old tree no longer exists, leaving only a solitary figure standing in front of the damaged wooden stake.

The man seemed to sense Lin Yi's arrival and slowly turned around, with a look of sadness and regret in his eyes.

He whispered to Lin Yi: "You are here."

The man sat cross-legged in front of a huge tree stump. Although the tree was no longer there, the remaining stump was still incredibly huge. Even if ten adult men put their hands together, they would probably not be able to hug it completely.

"Unfortunately, the Fengyang Tree has been destroyed." The man sighed, "In your era, I'm afraid one of the three sacred places of technique has been lost."

"The three holy places of skills?" Lin Yi did not rush to improve his skills this time, but walked to the man. It can be seen that Lin Yi was very interested in the three holy places mentioned by the man.

The man nodded and began to explain: "Well, the three holy places are the Land of All Living Things, the Fengyang Tree, and the Abyss of Heaven. Unfortunately, the Land of All Living Things was completely destroyed in the fierce battle between the spellcasters and the destroyers. In that battle, the two sides fought to the point of darkness, which resulted in the destruction of the Land of All Living Things."

He paused and continued, "The other holy place is the Fengyang tree you see now. Many ascetics gathered here in the past. They practiced techniques here and sought the true meaning of techniques. Because the destroyers are good at techniques, the Arcane Eternal Star sent people to destroy the Fengyang tree in order to prevent the destroyers from improving their strength."

At this point, a trace of sadness flashed in the man's eyes: "The last holy place is the Abyss of Heaven. I don't know if it still exists in this era. The destruction or disappearance of these holy places is undoubtedly a huge loss for those of us who practice the techniques."

When the man told this story, his eyes were filled with deep regret.

The battle between the spellcaster and the spell destroyer was of an extremely high level, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Many skilled warriors, including the man and his companions, had rushed to the battlefield to try to stop this devastating conflict.

However, they soon discovered that the level of this battle was far beyond their capabilities.

Those who are at the absolute strongest level are not qualified to participate in that battle. Only those who are at the strongest level or above can gain a foothold in it.

Most of the skilled masters who went with the man at that time were only at the eighth and ninth levels of cultivation. Although they were already top masters in the eyes of ordinary races and were capable of deciding the outcome of a war, they seemed so insignificant in that epic showdown.

You know, in terms of skills, the destroyers can be said to be top-level masters of skills.

On that day, the power of elements and the light of swords flew wildly, dyeing the entire sky a sea of ​​fire red and darkness.

The flying fire dragons, with their fangs bared and claws brandished, shuttled through the clouds, their flames hot and bright, as if they were going to burn everything.

The raging storm roared in the sky, strong winds cut through the air, and rolled up countless dust and debris.

The crazy thunder and lightning were like the angry whip of the gods, constantly striking the ground, and each lightning strike was accompanied by a deafening roar.

These lightnings are not just pure lightning, but also mixed with a lot of boundary lightning attacks, adding a bit of frenzy and danger to the already fierce battle.

In this doomsday-like battle, the confrontation between the Destroyers and the Spellcasters reached a fever pitch, with several Destroyers being surrounded by endless spell attacks from the Spellcasters.

Marvin Waltz grasped the blade tightly, ignoring the attack of the spellcaster, and slashed at the opposing team of spellcasters with a huge blade light.

The blade light instantly broke through the layers of defense of the spellcasters. Although many spellcasters tried to dodge, they were cut in half before they could react in the face of the rapid blade light.

In this fierce battle, countless innocent people were also affected.

The man in front of me is one of the spectators.

He was originally just a spectator, but unfortunately he was struck by more than a dozen lightning bolts that fell from the sky.

The man lost his voice on the spot. He did not die on a tragic battlefield, nor did he experience any spectacular deeds. He was just a person who was accidentally injured.

The man's death is just a microcosm of this disaster.

"The place you are in is very strange. It can even wake up a dead person like me. Maybe there is a way to find the seeds of the Fengyang tree." When the middle-aged man said this, his body began to show signs of weathering, as if it would disappear in the wind at any time.

Lin Yi's heart tightened. The money he paid for the trip this time was just the Soul Crystal (middle). According to common sense, it should not be able to allow a man's soul to exist for so long.

He realized that the man was burning his few remaining soul essences just to stay a little longer in this void, the void where he had been wandering all his life.

As the man's figure became increasingly blurred and was about to disappear, he sighed slightly and slowly placed his fingers on Lin Yi's forehead.

At this moment, Lin Yi only felt a warm force coming from his forehead.

“If you have the chance to find the seeds of the Fengyang tree, I hope you can rebuild the holy land of techniques so that future generations will have a place to practice and gain insights.” The man’s voice gradually became weaker, but every word fell heavily on Lin Yi’s heart.

"Young man, the future depends on you."

After the middle-aged man said this with a smile, his soul and body were completely shattered.

Lin Yi then fell into endless darkness.

But Lin Yi did not open his eyes. He was quietly immersed in the memories conveyed by the man.

In his mind, all he could see were scenes of that man's asceticism.

Lin Yi's consciousness possessed the middle-aged man's body, stepping step by step in the snow, holding only a wooden sword in his hand.

Following the guidance of the movements in his mind, a black and white rose appeared in Lin Yi's hand in the darkness, and he began to practice the most basic swordsmanship.

Stab, chop, poke, lift, pick, collapse, intercept, chop, wipe, and cut... He practiced every movement with full concentration.

Lin Yi practiced alone in the dark, repeating these basic sword techniques over and over again, as if he wanted to engrave them into his bones.

When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, he exhaled a breath of foul air, expelling all the distracting thoughts and fatigue in his heart.

Although this experience did not allow Lin Yi to gain any sharp sword skills, it brought him greater gains than any previous improvement.

In the man's memory, Lin Yi practiced basic sword techniques thousands of times. This process allowed him to re-refine the basics and make his sword techniques more solid.

This kind of basic training may not directly improve Lin Yi's combat power, but it can help Lin Yi go further on the road of techniques.

Only by laying a solid foundation can future practice be smoother and reach a higher level.

According to Lin Yi's original rate of improvement, he might encounter a bottleneck at the LV49 stage of Sword Master because there are some loopholes in his basic swordsmanship.

These loopholes did not stem from Lin Yi's lack of diligence in learning swordsmanship. The root of the problem was that the swordsmanship inheritance in the real world itself was imperfect.

In the real world, extraordinary people live in seclusion, and the existing sword techniques are all discovered by ordinary people through generations of exploration.

Although these sword techniques seem to have condensed the essence of more than a dozen generations, in fact there are a large number of undetected flaws or loopholes.

Although the sword skills that Lin Yi learned in the real world had been personally refined, he also inherited the loopholes in these inheritances.

Therefore, when Lin Yi reached a certain level, the loopholes in these swordsmanship began to emerge, becoming an obstacle to his improvement in swordsmanship.

In the void, the inheritance and evolution of techniques have gone through a long period of time, and the refinement of each move and each style is calculated in tens of thousands of years.

New techniques are constantly being created, while old techniques are being eliminated because they are no longer suitable for the times.

After countless generations of updates and iterations, the basic techniques in the void have reached a near-perfect state, and there have been no major changes in nearly ten thousand years.

Lin Yi followed the man to learn in the snow, and not only inherited the essence of the basic swordsmanship in the void, but more importantly, he was able to correct the loopholes in his own swordsmanship.

This experience laid a solid foundation for Lin Yi's future technical development. It can be said that the man paved a smooth road for Lin Yi.

"The Abyss of Heaven, the Land of All Living Things, the Fengyang Tree."

Lin Yi silently recited these three names in his mind. They represent the three holy places mentioned by the masters of technical skills.

For Lin Yi, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely embark on a journey to find these three holy places.

However, the improvement has not stopped yet, and Lin Yi will continue to improve himself to become a swordsman master.

[To upgrade to Sword Master, you need to pay Soul Crystal (Large) × 10 + 225000 Paradise Coins. Yes/No. 】

The resources required to upgrade the level of Sword Master are staggering, especially when the level reaches 40, the skyrocketing cost is even more daunting.

Upgrading to the next level requires 25 Paradise Coins and 10 Soul Crystals (large), which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for most contractors.

It is no wonder that many contractors choose to give up improving their technical abilities after reaching a certain stage.
