" The Faceless Dragon God's unique trait is called possession. It allows a person to absorb the demon core of a magic beast and have their spirit replace a part of their divine bone. By doing this, no matter how poor or good your talent is, it will be replaced by the talent of the magic beast. "
" So, if you absorb the core of a magic beast with high talent, your talent will also be high," Golden Turtle said with a chuckle.
Alvin's eyes lit up. "Awesome! Then I want either the time element or the space element. Protagonists with these two elements in novels are always powerful."
Golden Turtle looked at Alvin teasingly. "Young man, only kids make choices. Men take everything."
Alvin froze. "You mean, I can continuously absorb a lot of beast cores and gain their talent?"
Golden Turtle shook its head. "No, but you can definitely absorb a different beast for each of your elements, except the chaos element since it is not stored in your divine bone. Once you absorb a spirit, it will be permanent, so we have to choose the best one out there."
Alvin laughed. "That's also fine. After all, this way I can have all the elements. Tell me, when can we start?"
Golden Turtle rolled its eyes. "It's not as simple as you think. First, we need a large amount of medicinal ingredients that can purify your bloodline. At the same time, a mythic-level magician should guide the power of these ingredients into your body so that you won't explode under the force of the medicine."
"As to where to find a mythic-level expert, one of your subordinates, Feana Smith, is a mythic-level magician and happens to be an alchemist as well. Ask Joshi to summon her."
Alvin nodded. He cleared his throat and yelled, "Joshi...."
"What happened, boss? Senior brother went outside." The next second, Alice appeared right in front of Alvin's face, giving him a heart attack.
Alvin patted his chest and asked, "I want to purify my bloodline. Can you ask Feana if she has time to come over?"
Although Alice was confused, she still nodded and went to the side to make a phone call. After talking for about half an hour, she came back and gave the phone to Alvin.
Alvin received the phone, and it looked the same as the smartphones from Earth.
"Boss?..." A sweet voice of a woman came from the other side.
"Oh, yeah, I'm listening."
"Which bloodline do you want to purify? The dragon bloodline or the monkey bloodline? Or should I collect ingredients for both?"
"Just the dragon bloodline."
"Okay, I'll be there in at most a week."
"Huh… okay."
Alvin handed the phone back to Alice after the other party hung up.
"Ask her to gather as many beast cores as possible between beginner and master level from different attributes," Golden Turtle said urgently.
Alvin nodded and conveyed the message to Alice, who nodded in response without any questions and left the room.
"All of them seem very understanding and helpful. Such good people," Alvin said with a sigh.
Golden Turtle rolled its eyes. "Idiot, all of them are your soul slaves. Their life and death is in your palm, so naturally they'll be understanding."
"Whatever..." Alvin ignored the turtle and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed.
The next day, Joshi brought more than a thousand beast cores, ranging from beginner-level to master-level magic beast cores, all of different elements.
Their sizes varied from that of a small candy ball to the size of a food bowl.
Alvin picked up one silver-colored orb, the size of a cricket ball, with interest from the pile in front of him.
The orb had two rings running around its circumference. At the center of the orb, a miniature figure of a butterfly could be seen, with four stars revolving around it.
"This is the beast core of a spatial-element magic beast. Each ring around the core represents one level, and the stars inside the core represent the sub-levels. As for the miniature figure inside the orb, it's the soul of the beast from which this core was taken," Golden Turtle said when it saw Alvin looking clueless.
"Mm… so this one is a four-star master-level beast core. Is the color of the beast core random, or does it have any importance?" Alvin asked as he looked at the pile of different-colored orbs in front of him.
"Of course, it's important. Shining silver represents the space element, gray represents time, black for darkness, yellow for light, light green for wind, blue for water, orange for fire, brown for earth, and violet for lightning."
Alvin nodded. He looked at the space-element beast core in his hand and asked, "How about this one? Is it good to absorb it to replace my space talent?"
Golden Turtle waved its hand, and another golden paper floated in front of Alvin. The paper had a heading at the top that read Heavenly Eye, but the content below it was blank.
"Let's analyze it first. If the soul level of the beast is legendary, we can consider it," Golden Turtle said, floating the paper toward the beast core in Alvin's hand.
Name: Silver Spec Moth
Element: Space
Beast Soul Level: Common
Cultivation Level: 4-Star Master Level
"Beast soul level is equivalent to bloodline in human beings. Since it's a common rank, we can't use it. Try the other ones."
Alvin nodded and picked up an orange-colored orb this time.
Name: Hell Hound
Element: Fire
Beast Soul Level: Bronze
Cultivation Level: 1-Star Beginner Level
...
For the next seven hours, Alvin kept analyzing the cores one by one, but he didn't come across a single legendary beast soul.
The highest core Alvin found was a gold-rank Beast Soul of a Wild Boar.
[Note: The different ranks of bloodlines and souls are: Legendary, Epic, Gold, Bronze, Common]
Alvin sighed as he tossed the last beast core back to the pile in front of him. "It seems finding a legendary-level beast soul will be quite difficult."
"Valuable things are always rare. Anyway, since you have people to search for you, let's wait patiently until you awaken the Faceless Dragon God bloodline. If we still haven't found a soul by then, we'll have to search outside ourselves," Golden Turtle also sighed.
