Chapter 74 Absorbing Crystal Coins
After carefully browsing through all the rankings in his newly purchased residence in Luoxia City, Lin Tian stretched lazily, his joints making a slight cracking sound.
The continuous battles and advancements left him somewhat mentally exhausted, but he was filled with anticipation for the future.
He turned to Celia, who was standing quietly to the side, and asked, "Celia, teach me how to absorb Soul Crystals. I'll try and see how much my attributes can increase."
"Yes, Master." Celia nodded slightly, stepped forward, raised her slender right hand, and gently touched Lin Tian's brow with the tip of her index finger.
A slightly cool sensation came over him, and then a stream of information flowed directly into Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
[Ding! Acquired special skill [Energy Absorption]]
Lin Tian immediately checked the skill description.
Energy Absorption
Effect: Allows active extraction of energy from designated special items, converting the energy contained in the items into a form of energy that can be used by the user. The current energy conversion and absorption efficiency is maintained at 50%.
"Only 50% absorption efficiency?" Lin Tian frowned slightly and looked at Celia, asking, "Is this skill's absorption efficiency only 50%? Is there a more efficient method?"
Celia answered respectfully:
"Yes, Master."
"In the abyss, 50% absorption efficiency is already the highest I know of."
"The purple light emanating from my body when I absorbed Soul Crystals was energy that couldn't be fully absorbed and was wasted."
"The vast majority of abyssal monsters have an energy absorption efficiency of only 30% to 40%."
"I was able to master this 50% efficient method because my father is the lord of the Abyss Dark City."
At this point, Celia's eyes dimmed for a moment, as if she had recalled some unpleasant past events.
Lin Tian nodded in understanding, but still felt that the efficiency was too low.
He has a lot of skills and items waiting to be upgraded, all of which require precious upgrade points.
If the efficiency of absorbing crystal coins is so low, it means that he needs to spend more upgrade points to improve the quality of the crystal coins, which is obviously not worthwhile.
However, there wasn't a better solution at the moment. Lin Tian decided to try it out and see how it went.
With a thought, he activated the "Enhancement" talent on the newly acquired [Energy Absorption] skill.
[Ding! Consume 10000 upgrade points to increase [Energy Absorption]?]
"It actually costs 10000 points?" Lin Tian was slightly surprised; this was more than he had expected.
But on second thought, the skill of efficiently absorbing energy is indeed valuable, and this price is reasonable.
He glanced at the remaining 33444 upgrade points on the panel and no longer hesitated.
"Promotion confirmed."
[Ding! [Energy Absorption] upgrade successful!]
[Current remaining upgrade points: 33444 - 10000 = 23444]
After reviewing the skill descriptions again, Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction.
Energy Absorption
Effect: Allows active extraction of energy from designated special items, converting the energy contained within the items into a form of energy that can be used by the user. Currently, the energy conversion and absorption efficiency has reached an extreme of 100%.
Efficiency has been increased to 100%! This means he will be able to fully absorb the energy in the crystal without any waste.
Lin Tian took out two purple gold coins from his backpack.
"Let's see how much of an improvement crystal coins and soul crystal coins can bring."
He activated his talent "Enhancement" on the two purple-gold coins in his hand.
[Ding! 50 upgrade points consumed, [Purple Gold Coin] successfully upgraded!] × 2 (Note: This consumes two coins)
[Current remaining upgrade points: 23444 - 100 = 23344]
[Purple Gold Coins: 684 - 2 = 682]
【Crystal Coins: 2】
The two purple-gold coins in his hand changed shape, turning into two regular multi-rhomboid transparent crystals, with a faint purple light seemingly flowing inside as they slowly rotated.
Lin Tian picked up one of the crystal coins and activated the upgrade again.
[Ding! 100 upgrade points consumed, [Crystal Coins] successfully upgraded!]
【Crystal Coins: 1】
[Soul Crystal Coins: 1]
[Current remaining upgrade points: 23344 - 100 = 23244]
At this moment, he held two purple crystals in his hand. One was lighter in color, a pale purple, with relatively peaceful energy flow inside; the other was a deep, dark purple, with significantly stronger and more restrained energy fluctuations—it was a Soul Crystal Coin.
Lin Tian first picked up the light purple crystal coin, recalling how Celia had absorbed it by sticking it between her eyebrows, and then followed suit, sticking the crystal coin to his own forehead before slowly activating the [Energy Absorption] skill.
This is completely different from the situation where Celia absorbed energy and was surrounded by purple light.
The crystal coin was placed on Lin Tian's forehead. The light purple energy inside, as if guided by an invisible force, transformed into a gentle and pure warm current, which steadily seeped into his skin and flowed to his limbs and bones.
The entire process is efficient and quiet, with almost no energy loss.
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
The crystal coin on his forehead had become completely transparent, like ordinary crystal, with no energy fluctuations inside.
[Ding! Absorption of [Crystal Coins] complete, all attributes +5]
A system notification sounded.
"The effect is good!" Lin Tian was delighted.
Absorbing a crystal coin will increase all attributes by 5 points, which is equivalent to adding all the free attribute points gained from leveling up to a single attribute.
I just don't know what the maximum limit is for this kind of increase.
He suppressed his excitement, picked up the deep, dark purple soul crystal coin, and placed it against his brow again, activating [Energy Absorption].
The energy contained in Soul Crystal Coins is far greater and purer than that in Crystal Coins, and it is absorbed more slowly.
A more powerful and profound energy flowed into his body, not only strengthening his physical body but also seemingly touching something deeper.
Fifteen minutes later, the absorption was complete. The Soul Crystal Coin also turned transparent.
[Ding! Absorption of [Soul Crystal Coin] complete. All attributes +10, Soul Strength slightly increased!]
All attributes increased by 10 points, double that of crystal coins, and there was also an additional "Soul Strength Boost".
"Soul strength?" Lin Tian was curious about this new concept. "What specific uses does it have?"
He looked at Celia and asked, "Celia, do you know the specific effects of increasing soul strength?"
Celia gently shook her head, a hint of apology on her face:
"Master, I'm not quite sure about that either."
"Soul Crystals are extremely rare even in the Abyss. I only knew that they could enhance the strength of the soul, but I had never used them myself."
"The first time I used a Soul Crystal Coin was the one you bestowed upon me, Master."
She paused, her voice lowering slightly, "Perhaps... my father knows the details. After all, he is the Lord of Abyss City, with vast knowledge... but..."
