I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 42 - Potential For Secondary Profession



It was getting dark, and the sun was about to fully set.

Even though darkness had fallen outside, the situation in the Hundred Flowers Garden was the exact opposite. Thanks to the Rank 2 heaven and earth material, Star Pearl Tree, this place is still brightly lit. ​​

Star Pearl Tree is a big tree that looks like an ordinary tree during the day but will shine at night like stars in the night sky.

Even though the Star Pearl Tree was a Rank 2 heaven and earth material, it only had a simple function and was not superfluous, unlike the other Rank 2 heaven and earth materials here.

Its function is to provide light to the surrounding environment. Once it shines, all the plants around it will also shine regardless of its kind of plant.

Its function is almost the same as the Rank 1 heaven and earth material Luminous Sunflower. Still, the Luminous Sunflower can only illuminate itself, while the Star Pearl Tree can share its light with other plants.

This was why the Hundred Flowers Garden was still burning brightly even though the outside was already shrouded in darkness.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi and Xue Chan sat opposite each other in the garden hut.

After a while, Xue Chan finally opened her mouth, "So, what does Fellow Disciple Qin want to know from me? If it\'s a simple question, I can answer it, but I can\'t answer too complicated questions because my knowledge of Alchemists is still shallow, and I still need to study more."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Fellow Disciple Xue, I just wanted to inquire about the basic knowledge of secondary professions, especially the Alchemist profession. To be honest, I still don\'t know anything about secondary professions, but since Fellow Disciple Xue suddenly mentioned it in front of me, I\'m naturally curious about it."

"So, my first question is, how to get a secondary profession?"

Xue Chan nodded and replied, "It\'s a simple question, and almost every cultivator should already know this common knowledge. To become one of the professions of a secondary profession, one must meet the most critical condition, which is potential."

"Potential? What kind of potential?" Qin Yi tilted his head as he inquired further.

"Potential is a measurement requirement for people who want to get a secondary profession, and that potential is called Spiritual Mind. Spiritual Mind is energy that is born in people who have above-average minds. As long as people have a Spiritual Mind, they still have qualifications to get a secondary profession even though only a tiny amount." Xue Chan explained in detail.

Qin Yi\'s eyes lifted as if Xue Chan\'s explanation had just enlightened him.

So that\'s what the Spiritual Mind is for.

Even though he already knew the use of Spiritual Mind from the system, hearing it directly from real people felt different.

It feels like the difference between reading an explanation in a book and listening to a direct explanation from a teacher.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yi suddenly thought of a matter and asked: "Then, how to know if people have a Spiritual Mind or not?"

Xue Chan smiled and replied, "If you are a loose cultivator, it will be difficult to test whether you have the Spiritual Mind or not. However, since you are a sect disciple, you can test it at the Registration Hall..."

"Registration Hall is not only a place to register new disciples. But also a place to test and register people who have the potential to get a secondary profession."

"Once you test yourself there and pass the test, the elder in charge there will give you some books related to secondary professions and the rest is up to your own efforts to study them."

Qin Yi nodded and asked again, "So Fellow Disciple Xue has a Spiritual Mind and decided to become an Alchemist?"

"That is natural. Also, you can choose any secondary profession you like, however, in the end it all depends on your talent and understanding. I chose the secondary profession Alchemist because I have no talent in other secondary professions. Anyway you\'ll know it later, that\'s if you pass the test." Xue Chan replied.

Qin Yi furrowed his brows secretly as a doubtful question emerged in his heart.

If Xue Chan did have Spiritual Mind, then why didn\'t the system extract it last time?

Is it possible that the system can\'t extract the Spiritual Mind?

To be sure, Qin Yi decided to perform an extraction on Xue Chan.

\'System, extract the Spiritual Mind!\'

[Extraction failed!]

[Note: The target\'s Spiritual Mind is lower than the Host\'s. If the Host wants to extract Spiritual Mind, the Host needs to find a target who has a Spiritual Mind higher than you.]

Oh, I see...

No wonder he couldn\'t extract Xue Chan\'s Spiritual Mind.

Poor girl...

So what if your cultivation base is higher than mine? My Spiritual Mind is higher than yours!

Qin Yi couldn\'t help but feel smug thinking about this.

[Note: ...]

Xue Chan didn\'t notice Qin Yi\'s ridicule, so she asked him with a smile: "Is there anything else you want to ask, Fellow Disciple Qin?"

"Oh," Qin Yi returned to his senses and immediately asked, "What about the exam you mentioned earlier?"

"You mean the Apprentice Alchemist Exam? The Apprentice Alchemist Exam is held once a year in every branch of the Secondary Profession Association. If you pass, you will become an official Apprentice Alchemist, but you can try it again the following year if you fail. Unfortunately, I failed last year, so I can only try again this year."

"With Fellow Disciple Xue\'s diligence this time, I\'m sure, you will definitely be able to pass this year\'s exam and become an Apprentice Alchemist."

"Thank you for Fellow Disciple Qin\'s comfort. Unfortunately, I have self-acknowledged that my current skills and knowledge are not enough to make me pass this year\'s exam. Therefore, I need to study harder now."

Even though Xue Chan didn\'t say it clearly and indirectly, Qin Yi could still perceive the meaning behind her words.

It seemed this woman wanted to rush him because she wanted to hurriedly go back and study.

Since Xue Chan had already given a signal, Qin Yi couldn\'t hold her in longer and decided to stop today\'s Q&A session.

"My apologies, Fellow Disciple Xue, I have taken too much of your time and caused you to delay from studying."

After that, Qin Yi immediately took out five Qi Strengthening Pills and placed them in front of Xue Chan.

Even though the Qi Strengthening Pill was only Rank 1 pill, they are still beneficial to a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator like him.

Those five were a lot considering she only got 15 Qi Strengthening Pills per month. If she wanted to get more, she had to buy them using spirit stones, and the unit price of the Qi Strengthening Pill was 15 spirit stones.

The gift of 5 Qi Strengthening Pills could save 75 of her spirit stones.

Therefore, Xue Chan did not hesitate to accept Qin Yi\'s gift.

"Since, Fellow Disciple Qin intends to give them to me, then I will be impolite. Thank you, Fellow Disciple Qin."

Xue Chan immediately stored the pills into the storage bag.

"What are you talking about, Fellow Disciple Xue. I\'ve delayed your study time, just take them as my apologies." Qin Yi pleasantly waved his hand.

"If Fellow Disciple Qin has no other questions from me, then I will leave here first. See you later, Fellow Disciple Qin."

"See you later, Fellow Disciple Xue."

Qin Yi put a smile on his face as he said in his mind \'System, extract her…\'

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained 20 Cultivation Points]

[Obtained 20 spirit stones. Grade: Low]

"Tch, unfortunately, I can\'t swallow back the pills I\'ve spat out. Forget it; it\'s only 5 Qi Strengthening Pills. It was chep for her. Forget it, I still have a lot of them in the system storage."

"But 20 cultivation points... that\'s much more than the average cultivation points I get from other outer sect disciples. Is it because she\'s cultivating here?"

The Hundred Flowers Garden was rich in spiritual energy, and perhaps this was the reason why Xue Chan could cultivate faster.

Never mind.

Qin Yi swept the system notification in front of him and immediately stood up.

He inspected all the heaven and earth materials here and checked if there was anything wrong among them.

Fortunately, even though Xue Chan was more focused on cultivating, she still meticulously cared for the heaven and earth materials here.

After ensuring everything was safe, Qin Yi returned to the Mystical Garden to manage the lake and land there.
