I Can Extract Everything

The next day, when Qin Yi descended to the foot of the peak, he met Lu Yun.

His face was still as hateful and annoying as ever; it simply ruined people's mood. ​​

Lu Yun commented some unpleasant words to Qin Yi, but Qin Yi chose to ignore them.

"Heh"

Qin Yi just smirked.

He wanted to see how long that guy could keep a face like that. He was looking forward to the picture of that guy's face getting beaten up.

As soon as he arrived at his cave, he immediately took a rest for a few hours.

When he woke up again, it was almost noon.

This time, he, once again, did not go to the martial arts ground but to the Registration Hall.

Since Xue Chan said that he needed to be tested at Registration Hall to see whether he has a potential for secondary profession or not the other day, so he had already made up his mind to go there to be tested.

Even though he already knew that he had the potential to obtain a secondary profession, he had to go there to register, the elder there would also provide him with complete information of what Xue Chan had given him.

The Registration Hall was still deserted as usual.

Nobody came here, and nobody was seen here. If Qin Yi didn't know that an elder was guarding this place, he would think that this building is just an empty building.

Qin Yi knocked on the front door of the building moderately.

In just one knock, the elder immediately responded.

"Come in!"

As soon as he entered the building, he saw an elder in a long robe of deep green loafing on a recliner.

After spending some time in the outer sect, Qin Yi learned that the elder in charge of the Registration Hall was called Elder Gu, and the elder he saw right now was most likely the Elder Gu he had seen when he registered as a new outer sect disciple.

Qin Yi immediately cupped his fist and spoke respectfully, "Greeting, Elder Gu."

"Mm. Do you need anything? I remember you only got here a few days ago."

Even though Elder Gu acted like he didn't care, he seemed to remember Qin Yi's face.

"Replying to Elder Gu, my fellow disciple said I could test the secondary profession potential here, so I came here for that." Qin Yi immediately answered honestly.

Elder Gu stared at the young man for a while, and then stood up saying: "Follow me!"

Qin Yi naturally did not dare to remain standing like a fool and immediately followed the elder.

Elder Gu led him to a room with only a high table in the middle of the room and a clear crystal ball the size of an adult's head on it.

"Stand here and lay your right hand on this orb!"

Qin Yi immediately did as the elder ordered.

He put his hand on the orb.

Just as he was wondering what he should do next, the elder said again.

"Close your eyes, clear your mind, don't use spiritual energy, just feel it. If you see something, you can stop and open your eyes!"

Even though Qin Yi was confused, he still obeyed nevertheless.

Don't use spiritual energy... just feel it...

Just feel it...

Just feel it...

Soon a picture appeared in his mind. What's more, it didn't just appear once, but three times.

In the first picture, he saw a blazing blue fire as if it devouring a gigantic furnace. Meanwhile, there were hands above it, along with various heaven and earth materials floating and whirling magnificently above it.

In the second picture, he saw a muscular hand dripping with sweat while holding a heavy and oversized hammer while it kept on hammering a thick iron over the embers.

In the third picture, which is the last, he saw a hand writing something in the air, and suddenly glowing while forming a barrier and displaying intricate and incomprehensible patterns.

These three images appeared in Qin Yi's head one by one. Even though he was shocked and confused, he didn't panic and decided to observe the pictures calmly.

After a while, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the orb he was touching.

'System, extract it!'

[Extraction completed!]

[Obtained an artifact "Cognition and Measurement Orb". Grade: Spirit Artifact]

Qin Yi secretly rejoiced, 'I got another Spirit Artifact!'

Fortunately, this artifact was not in the hands of the elder. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to extract it.

Then he turned to Elder Gu.

Before he could say anything else, Elder Gu suddenly explained: "This orb is an artifact called the Cognition and Measurement Orb; it is capable of drawing or interpreting one's talent or affinity for a secondary profession."

"There are five branches of secondary professions in this world: Alchemist, Refiner, Formation Master, Spiritual Chef, and Talisman Maker. When you place your hand on the Cognition Orb, it will send you a picture or cognition of which secondary profession suits you."

"Each secondary profession has a different picture, so tell me whether you see that picture or don't see it at all. If you see it, then it means you can acquire a secondary profession; if not, then vice versa."

"Replying to Elder Gu, I saw two pictures..."

Qin Yi started to describe what he saw in the first and second pictures.

He thought that his potential was quite extraordinary considering that he got three pictures out of five secondary professions, but he decided to reveal only two pictures.

This time, it wasn't that he was deliberatively low-key or unwilling to attract attention from the sect, but that he had decided to hide the final picture as his trump card.

With this, Elder Gu likely still acknowledged that his potential wasn't bad.

And as expected...

"Not bad, you received two pictures. The first picture means you have the potential to become an Alchemist and the second picture means you have the potential to become a Refiner." Elder Gu praised him while gently pulling at his thin beard.

"However, studying two secondary professions at the same time is time-consuming and can even delay your cultivation. Therefore, I advise you to learn one of them first. Wait until your cultivation base and your first secondary profession reach a certain degree, then you can start to learn a second profession."

When the cultivators' cultivation base reaches a high stage, they will also get a long lifespan.

With that long lifespan, it's not too late to learn a new secondary profession.

"This disciple will listen to Elder's advice."

Qin Yi, of course, was aware of this.

Yesterday he saw Xue Chan struggle to manage and divide her time to cultivate, learn to concoct, practice martial arts, and possibly other activities.

From Qin Yi's point of view, that woman is quite pitiful.

Not only had she failed to pass the Apprentice Alchemist exam, but she might also have delayed her cultivation for quite a long time.

Fortunately and luckily, Qin Yi has an Extraction System.

He doesn't need to cultivate.

There is no need to devote himself to practicing martial arts.

Just take a moment of your time to extract the cultivation points of his fellow disciples.

Then use those points to increase his cultivation base and master martial arts.

It's cheating, but who cares?

No one has harmed anyway~

As Qin Yi was thinking like that, Elder Gu's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Put your hands off the orb!"

Qin Yi snapped back and immediately removed his hand from the Cognition and Measurement Orb, and then he saw the number 20 on it.

"20 Spiritual Mind, not bad! No wonder you can see two pictures."

Qin Yi was taken back and asked "Elder Gu, this is...?

Elder Gu pulled at his beard again and gave enlightenment to this disciple, "This is the current measurement of your Spiritual Mind. Typically, a newbie like you only has a Spiritual Mind of no more than 10. However, there are always out-of-normal people in this world, so it's okay, and there's no need to be overly shocked."

"Each secondary profession has several ranks. The most basic rank is Rank 1, called Apprentice, whose Spiritual Mind measurement is 1-99. Once you breakthrough into 100, you will advance to a higher level. Although you can be considered an Apprentice now, you still have to take the exam and pass the exam to gain official secondary professional status from the Secondary Profession Association."

"Once you succeed in obtaining the official status of a secondary profession, you will gain the respect and privilege of belonging to a secondary profession, whether it comes from a sect, association, or the public."

"Therefore, if you want to enjoy such treatment, you need to study a lot and work hard to pass the secondary professional examination held annually in each branch of the Secondary Profession Association."

After listening to such a long explanation, Qin Yi saw Elder Gu take several thick books out of nowhere and stash them on the high table next to the Cognition and Measurement Orb.

"These are books of the basic knowledge of Alchemist and Refiner and some other knowledge that might appear in the secondary profession exams."

"The sect always provides support for anyone who has the potential to get a secondary profession. So, study properly and try your best to gain official secondary profession status as soon as possible. Your achievements will add a bit of prestige to the sect in the eyes of the public."

Qin Yi hurriedly nodded his head and accepted the books graciously.

"Thanks to Elder Gu and the sect for giving this disciple so much care. This disciple will do his best not to let down the sect's expectation."

"Enn,"

Elder Gu languidly responded, and then he let Qin Yi go back to his residence.

Qin Yi also didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he directly exited the Registration Hall.
