Chapter 120: Changes in the Summoning Book
Imagining things is always beautiful, but reality is often cruel. When his fist struck the hard stone, Ye Huan felt as if his hand would shatter. The pain shot through him, piercing deep into his heart, forcing a bitter smile onto his face. He couldn't help but think that the strength of a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage seemed rather unimpressive. Slowly, he turned and walked back to where he had been standing.
As he moved away, a cold wind swept through, and a faint cracking sound emerged from the base of the stone, revealing a small fissure that exposed the pure white core within. If anyone had seen this, they would surely be curious about how Ye Huan possessed such immense strength to crack stone with his bare hands. Yet, the surface of the stone remained intact, and even Ye Huan was unaware of the true extent of his newfound power.
Once he regained his footing, Ye Huan, who mistakenly believed that a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage lacked any real strength, could only place all his hopes on the Summoning Book. He wished for it to undergo some changes that would enhance his overall abilities, allowing him to return to the Nine Provinces Continent and contend with the formidable Lingxiao.
After all, Lingxiao's power was overwhelming. Just thinking about Lingxiao's Crimson Beauty Sword made Ye Huan recall the scene where it had effortlessly defeated twenty-five Professional experts, and the pressure weighed heavily on him.
He quickly summoned the 2012 Arms Compendium and felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy emanating from it. This brought him some relief as he opened the first page of the 16k-sized compendium.
As before, the first page displayed the perfect curves of the Desert Eagle. The only change was a new line of text beneath it: "Desert Eagle, initial state, includes Magazine."
Magazine?!
Upon reading this line, Ye Huan's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew that aside from heavy machine guns that drew spiritual energy directly from the Summoning Book, weapons like the Desert Eagle and M4A1 assault rifle had always required him to use up one magazine before summoning another. Even Barrett was no exception. When did the 2012 Arms Compendium start offering free magazines?
Recalling that before arriving at Yuxu Palace, there had been no such line on the first page of the Summoning Book, Ye Huan couldn't help but wonder: "Could this be an additional ability granted by cultivating as a Cultivator?"
In fact, Ye Huan was not wrong in his thoughts, but there was one thing he did not know: the uniqueness of the Summoner profession. As a being with a Summoning Book within him, most of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy absorbed by a Summoner resided in the Summoning Book. The amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy stored within his body was pitifully small. However, as long as the energy stored in his body was sufficient and strong enough, the Summoning Book would undergo changes. Although it could not increase the level of the Summoning Book, it would certainly bring about many unexpected abilities.
For instance, every Summoner comprehended a talent skill upon reaching level four, which was essentially a change that occurred when their physique reached a certain level.
After attempting to summon the Desert Eagle, it indeed appeared exactly as described in the Summoning Book. Once the Desert Eagle manifested in Ye Huan's hands, a magazine also fell before him.
Feeling that it had little practical use, Ye Huan put away the Desert Eagle and slowly turned to the second page of the Summoning Book. However, this time he was taken aback; the second page of the 2012 Arms Compendium was completely blank!
"Damn it, where's my M67 fragmentation grenade?"
Due to excessive excitement, Ye Huan nearly dropped the 2012 Arms Compendium as he struggled to hold it tightly. He cursed under his breath for a while before quickly flipping back through the pages.
Third page, fourth page, fifth page...
Without exception, all the subsequent pages were blank until he reached around the tenth page when the M67 fragmentation grenade finally appeared in his Summoning Book. As he continued flipping back, he found pages filled with flashbangs, tear gas, and incendiary grenades. However, when Ye Huan turned past the incendiary grenade page, another ten pages were blank until he reached over twenty pages later when an M4A1 assault rifle finally appeared...
It seemed that various weapons were categorized!
Understanding that firearms came in different types, Ye Huan held onto the Summoning Book and flipped through it slowly. He even finished going through the entire book and ultimately concluded that out of ninety-nine pages in the 2012 Arms Compendium, aside from thirty types of Arms he could already summon, the remaining sixty-nine pages were entirely blank. Moreover, according to different levels of Arms usage, they were even divided into various categories such as handguns, grenades, rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, and so on...
Having roughly grasped the benefits of becoming a Cultivator, Ye Huan couldn't help but marvel at how he hadn't wasted his efforts on summoning just one Desert Eagle!
Excited to continue his research, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Ye Huan suppressed his thirst for knowledge and put away the Summoning Book. After all, he understood well that "a common man is innocent; but possessing a treasure is a crime." If one had something good, it was best to keep it hidden...
He carefully tucked away the Summoning Book and raised his head again. The figure of Yu Wuxia appeared in Ye Huan's line of sight, holding a brocade box and cautiously making his way toward him, as if what he carried was a priceless treasure.
When Yu Wuxia finally reached Ye Huan's side, he let out a heavy breath, piquing Ye Huan's curiosity. Unable to resist, he asked, "Yu Wuxia, what is it that you're holding?"
"I've told you countless times, you need to call me Sect Leader! If it weren't for the fact that you came from the Nine Provinces Continent, I would make sure you understand the rules of our Eastern State!"
Shaking his head helplessly, Yu Wuxia no longer cared about Ye Huan calling him by his name. After all, if Ye Huan were just an ordinary summoner from the Nine Provinces Continent, Yu Wuxia might have shown him some authority. However, upon realizing Ye Huan's unparalleled talent on the path of a Cultivator, his importance was self-evident.
With that thought in mind, Yu Wuxia presented the brocade box before Ye Huan and said, "Ye Huan, this is for you—a Foundation Pill. It will stabilize your current strength and help you reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"A 'boiled egg'? Seeing how precious it is to you, why would you be willing to give it to me? Do you have some kind of scheme?" Knowing that one should not receive rewards without merit, Ye Huan felt a sense of vigilance upon hearing that even the leader of Yuxu Palace was offering him something with both hands.
With a wry smile, Yu Wuxia grasped Ye Huan's right hand and forcibly placed the brocade box containing the Foundation Pill into his palm. He then said, "There’s a reason for giving it to you. In one year’s time, I want you to reach the Golden Core Stage. After that, I will tell you what you need to do!"
