Ace’s speculation about the Heaven Stealer Pill was spot on. If he hasn’t entered the Heavenly Sea Realm, this change will never take place, but now things have changed.

Ace didn’t dwell on this topic for long since it was in his favor and he didn’t need to find EXP for some time anymore and only lack the missing SP.

“System, how much SP will I get for the soul material in my thief space?” Ace suddenly remembered the name board he picked up on his way here.

He almost forgot about it because of all the unforeseen events. Now that he was completely healed and Noa’s threat was also out of the way, he can finally focus on raising his strength.

===

[A small piece of Soul Trapping Banyan Tree (Soul Material): 1,000 SP]

===

Ace wasn’t satisfied with this price because this small piece was enough to even affect a soul realm cultivator, but the system was only pricing it at a mere thousand soul points.

But he didn’t refute because he knew once the system gave a price, it will never change even if he got on his knees and started begging. Besides, the scene of Noa getting punished by the system was still vivid in his mind, and he didn’t want to take his chances.

‘Forget it, I just cross two stages in one go. It’s me who is being too greedy. I’ll leave this timber for now until I collect enough SP for the next stage,’ Ace mused.

“System, I want to purchase all the heaven stealer pills and all the insight pills in the pill shop.” Ace stated.

He could’ve left those heaven stealer pills in the system shop, but after what happened before, he won’t! Besides, he has TP to spare, so it wasn’t a big deal to buy everything.

[Purchase has been successful!]

[All the pills have been sent to the thief’s space!]

=====

Ace quickly looked inside his Thief’s Space and just as he expected, there were twenty new shining marble-like pills neatly arranged in 5,5,10 separately.

The group of ten round pills was colored completely crystal white with a golden hue was surrounding it like a golden hallow. This was the insight pill set.

As for the other two groups of five round crystal pills, they were completely pitch black. No one could tell the difference between low-grade and middle-grade heaven stealer pills.

However, Ace could tell which group was which because he could sense the Heavenly Qi density in them as clear as day.

Ace, let the heaven stealer pills be and focus on the white insight pills. These pills were his main reason for opening the pill shop.

“System, how should I increase the skill level with this insight pill?” questioned Ace.

“[Host just needed to consume an insight pill and circulate the specific skill host wants to increase the proficiency of. But be warned, the host can only use one insight pill on one skill once, it won’t work continuously.]”

‘I knew it would be too good to be true if I can just increase my one skill to peak in one go! But one level is also enough, especially in his kind of condition. Since I can only use this pill one time on one skill, I should not waste it on those skills that can I increase on my own.’

This wasn’t a tough question for Ace. He quickly selected the skills he desperately needed to survive the mighty demon continent and escape this predicament.

The first skill he chose was naturally his heartless stealth art. Although he was confident in increasing it on his own. But he didn’t have time.

He quickly consumed one insight pill and felt his mind become extremely clear, and he quickly circulated his Qi according to the Heartless Stealth Art.

Within minutes, he grasped the quantities of the second form of this cultivation art, the Pulseless Stealth!

Noa’s, who was busy healing the injuries that she got from the system, abruptly opened her eyes with horror. Because she suddenly felt Ace’s aura completely vanish!

‘Where did he go?! How can he just have vanished into thin air in an instant?!’ Noa panicked since Ace was too important to her and if anything happened to him, she might lose everything!

Just as she was about to search high and low, Ace quickly appeared again right where he was, and he was still sitting there peacefully!

‘Was that a stealth skill?!’ Noa’s eyes instantly narrowed. She was very sensitive toward stealth arts because of her unique species.

‘He was able to completely clear his trace, even under my martial sense. This stealth skill is even stronger than my innate stealth. It has to be a skill come from the ‘Goddess’!’ Noa’s mused in astonishment.

This was the only explanation she could think of, and she was even motivated to get all those skills in her shop. Since Ace was fine, she stopped worrying about him and focused on healing again.

Ace didn’t know what had just happened. He was deeply engrossed in this wonderful feeling of being enlightened. With every passing moment, his understanding of pulseless stealth grows by leaps and bounds.

After an unknown time, he finally snapped out his enlightenment, and he was astonished because he has fully mastered the Pulseless Stealth in one go!

He didn’t dare to believe it and glance at his skill panel and saw,

====

[Skills: 7]

Heartless Stealth (Art):

[Breathless Stealth: Perfection

Pulseless Stealth: Perfection

Heartless Stealth: NONE]



====

‘This pill is simply magical, and this is just a low-grade one!’ Ace was ecstatic just thinking about all those pills he will get in the future.

However, what he didn’t know was this pill was only enough to increase his skill for just one level. Simply put, his pulseless stealth should only be at a low level after taking this pill but somehow, he reached perfection!

He didn’t know this, and the system also didn’t clear his misunderstanding either.

‘Next is the soul-shattering eyes. I need it to see thought at least Grade One Rune Symbols!’

If this was before, he wouldn’t dare to take this step because it was just too dangerous to increase his soul skill wantonly, but after the harmony of his soul and body, he was confident he could take this much!

Without hesitation, he used another insight pill and start using soul-shattering eyes.

He was again engrossed in that mystical feeling and gained insight into soul-shattering eyes.

After an hour, Ace snapped out of the effect of the insight pill, but to his dismay, after checking his skill status, his fear come true when the soul-shattering eyes only increase by a single stage from low to the middle not reaching perfection.

‘Is it because I eat two pills in a row and now its effect is becoming dilute? But how is this possible? If this was the case, the system would’ve warned me? Or this Pill effect depended on a skill standard?’

Ace mulled over it for a long time but in the end, he still didn’t get an accurate answer, so he put it back in his head and moved toward the next skill, which was the Soul Guardian Barrier Art’s Soul Barrier!

He has gained low-level mastery over it, but after the incident with Gordon and being nearly killed by a soul attack talisman, he didn’t dare to neglect his soul protective skill anymore.

Ace quickly consumed another pill and recited the soul barrier.

Within half an hour, Ace raised his mastery of this skill from low to middle, and this made it even more clear; the first time he used the insight pill was very different.

Now, Ace moved toward his movement skill, the lightning steps of Misperception Sky Steps Art! How could he forget this essential movement skill that was a lifesaver?

After another hour, the lightning step also reached the middle level and Ace could feel now he can probably outrun a Golden River Core Cultivator!

Besides these four skills, he used no more insight pills on his other skills. Soul Piercing Bullet was quite easy to raise, while he can’t use these pills on techniques like Dual Shadow Swords since it was considered a weapon cultivation technique.

So, Ace finally choose to use one more insight pill on the very new skill Lock Eraser King Technique!

Although he can learn it eventually, he won’t be taking his chances and used one chance for this technique right now.

Ace took the fifth insight pill and start learning the Lock Eraser King Technique’s first-level, Lock Eraser Master!

This time, it took him six hours to achieve the first novice lair of Lock Eraser Master level!

Ace felt quite glad that he used an insight pill because if he tried to learn it normally it would take him at least an entire month, minimum. It was just damn difficult!
