Chapter 235 Bottlenecks and Opportunities: The Path to Advancement for Hidden Professions
With a slight thought, he focused his attention on the class icons representing [Dominator] and [Starry Sky Mystic].
Sure enough, unlike before, when his consciousness touched the two icons, the skill tree or class bonuses were not displayed directly. Instead, a brand new quest interface with a unique glow popped up.
[Dominator Advancement Quest - Phase One]
[Task Requirements]:
The character level has reached 50, and the current level experience value has reached 100%.
Successfully killed at least one Lord-level creature of level 50 or higher. (Status: Completed)
Collect the following rare materials: 'Abyssal Demon Iron' x3, 'Immortal Soul' x1, 'Law Fragment' x5.
After fulfilling the above conditions, the final advanced trial will be unlocked.
[Advanced Quest for Starry Sky Mystic Master - Stage 1]
[Task Requirements]:
The character level has reached 50, and the current level experience value has reached 100%.
Successfully killed at least one Lord-level creature of level 50 or higher. (Status: Completed)
Collect the following rare materials: 10 Stardust Crystals, 1 Eternal Well Water, and 1 Star Core.
After fulfilling the above conditions, the final advanced trial will be unlocked.
Looking at the stringent requirements on the task list, even Lin Tian, with his composure, couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly.
The level experience is full, which is expected, but it just takes time and patience.
Killing level 50+ bosses is not difficult for him; he had already accomplished it while putting out fires in various places.
What's truly challenging are those rare materials!
Abyssal Demon Iron, Immortal Soul, Fragments of Law...
Astral Dust, Eternal Well Water, Star Core...
He had never heard of most of these names before!
Just from the name, you know it's not something that can be dropped by ordinary monsters. It's likely that you'll need to go to a specific dungeon, a special quest chain, or obtain it from some extremely rare treasure chests or gathering points in specific areas.
It is probably just as difficult to obtain as the Guild Creation Token!
"As expected, advancing to a god-level profession isn't that simple." Lin Tian muttered to himself, but his eyes didn't show any discouragement. Instead, a hint of understanding and...excitement flashed across them.
The more difficult the bottleneck is to overcome, the greater the improvement that comes after breaking through it.
He eagerly anticipated the terrifying power that would be unlocked once the [Dominator] and [Starry Sky Mystic Envoy] completed their first formal advancement.
That's not just an increase in attributes; it could very well involve a qualitative change in the ability at the rule level!
He closed the quest interface and turned his gaze back to the endless stream of monsters surging across the wasteland.
The primary task at present is to fill up the level 50 experience bar.
Then, they set about collecting these materials that sounded extraordinary.
"Materials..." Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then casually waved his staff, using [Universal Pull] to gather a group of newly spawned Howling Wraiths in the distance, and then instantly cleared them out with [Arcane Explosion], while opening his communication list.
He sent a concise message to both Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei:
"Keep an eye out for these materials: Abyssal Demon Iron, Immortal Soul, Law Fragment, Astral Dust Crystal, Eternal Well Water, and Star Core. Let me know immediately if you have any news."
He did not explain the purpose of the payment, nor did he promise any compensation.
But he knew that with Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei's intelligence, they would naturally understand the importance of these materials to him and would use all the resources they could to search for them.
After sending the message, Lin Tian ignored the outside world's disturbances and focused all his attention back on the tedious but necessary leveling process.
The winds of the cursed wasteland still howl, and the roars of monsters rise and fall.
......
Crimson Flame Valley, headquarters of the War Alliance Guild.
Zhang Tianya had just finished dealing with a wave of external harassment and was discussing the next steps for the guild's development with core members when Lin Tian's message popped up.
He glanced at it only once, and his rugged face instantly became extremely solemn.
"Everyone, put aside what you're doing for now!" He abruptly raised his hand, interrupting his deputy who was speaking, his voice brooking no argument, "Boss Lin Tian has something to say."
The council chamber fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Tianya.
"The boss needs several materials: Abyssal Demon Iron, Immortal Soul, Law Fragments, Astral Dust Crystals, Eternal Well Water, and Star Core." Zhang Tianya pronounced these names slowly and deliberately, his brows furrowing more deeply with each one.
"Immediately! Utilize every available channel—guild warehouses, the Sunset City auction house, the black market, and our spies in other major cities—investigate! Spare no expense to find any clues about these materials!"
The order was quickly relayed.
The entire alliance's intelligence network began operating with unprecedented efficiency.
However, the feedback sent a chill down Zhang Tianya's spine.
"President, the auction house has no record of it, not even an item with a similar name."
"I asked several of the biggest intelligence dealers on the black market, and they all said they had never heard of these names."
"We contacted several friendly guilds in Yunxi City and Shixia City, and their leaders also said they had never heard of such a thing."
"We've checked all the rare materials in the guild warehouse, and there's no match..."
The bad news came one after another.
Zhang Tianya sat in the main seat, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, making a dull sound.
He originally thought that with the War Alliance's current influence, it wouldn't be difficult to do something for Boss Lin Tian, but he didn't expect that even the names of these materials were so unfamiliar.
This made him realize more clearly that the level Lin Tian had reached was far beyond what they could currently understand.
"Continue the investigation!" Zhang Tianya said in a deep voice. "Post the bounty, offering a double reward of guild contribution points and gold coins! Anyone providing valid clues will be richly rewarded!"
This was a rare instance of Lin Tian proactively making requests of them, so they had to do everything in their power to comply.
......
Moonlight Woods, a secret base for blood-red romance.
Li Weiwei reacted similarly to Zhang Tianya at almost the same time she received the message.
She immediately suspended all construction work at hand and summoned the guild's most core and reliable members.
"Sisters, this is a crucial moment for us to repay Boss Lin Tian's trust." Li Weiwei's voice remained gentle, but her eyes were sharp as knives. "I don't care what methods you use or how many connections you pull, you must find clues to these materials on the list! This is the highest priority!"
The girls in "Bloody Romance" showcased their advantages in terms of their meticulousness and extensive social networks.
