Your Talent is Mine

Chapter 13: Earth Core Essence

TL: Etude

"Three portions of intermediate beast blood should allow me to cultivate for five days, enough to increase my strength to 600 jin, or even more," Ye Tian roughly estimated.
A strength of 600 jin, coupled with his talents in speed and medium-level blade skills, would allow him to crush any Martial Disciple, and he wouldn't be much weaker compared to an early-stage Martial Warrior.

"Right, I still don't know what effects the stalactite liquid that I obtained has; I must look it up soon!" Ye Tian was also hoping that the liquid could significantly increase his cultivation. Perhaps it could allow him to advance to the rank of a warrior sooner.

During the hundred years since the apocalypse, many strange treasures had appeared. Naturally, some people had compiled a treasure atlas to avoid missing treasures for warriors venturing into the wilderness.

And such a treasure atlas wasn't expensive; one could purchase it for a mere thousand pieces.

In the past, Ye Tian wouldn't have been able to afford it, but now he wasn't short of money.

In addition to three portions of beast blood, the first-place reward included a hundred thousand pieces.

So, Ye Tian went to the store and bought a relatively comprehensive treasure atlas.

Back at home, he flipped through it page by page. After browsing more than half of the atlas, he finally found the entry on Zhongrǔ liquid.

"Earth Core Essence, a stone from the earth's veins that absorbs the energy of heaven and earth for a hundred years, solidifying into existence. It has the effect of enhancing cultivation talent, effective only for those with medium or lower cultivation talent. In the place where Earth Core Essence is born, there is a small chance for Earth Elemental Stone to form, which can enhance low-level talents!"

Staring at this introduction, Ye Tian's breath grew rapid.

"Heavens! It's a treasure that can enhance cultivation talent. If I sell it, not to mention a hundred thousand, even several million or tens of millions would have buyers, right?" Ye Tian muttered to himself.

But he quickly quashed this thought.

If he truly sold the Earth Core Essence, he was certain he wouldn't live to see the next day.

At this moment, he also understood why the spotted snake was able to break through its racial limitations and advance to the beast level.

He had glimpsed the snake's bloodline talent, which had reached a medium level, making it seem like a different species compared to other spotted snakes. Now, it seemed that the Earth Core Essence had enhanced its bloodline talent; otherwise, it would never have advanced to the beast level in its lifetime!

"It's a pity that the Earth Core Essence's effect on enhancing cultivation is too low, and I'm not worried about my talent. Even if it's useful to me, I don't need to take it, and it's useless to me with my medium cultivation talent. If it's useless to me and I can't sell it, what should I do with it?" Ye Tian said, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Suddenly, he thought of his younger sister, Ye Yu.

"That's right, my sister seems to have only low-tier talent. If I give her this Earth Core Essence, wouldn't it be possible to elevate her talent to the basic or even medium level?" Ye Tian thought.

During lunch, Ye Tian looked at his sister and said, "Sister, this is good stuff, you should drink it!" He then took out the Earth Core Essence and placed it in front of Ye Yu.

"What is this?" Ye Yu asked curiously.

She wasn't worried that her brother would harm her; she was only worried whether it would taste good.
