[ You have obtained the Vegetation Attribute (Pseudo)! ]

[ Attribute: …Vegetation (Pseudo) ]

'There it is…'

It was a bit of a similar process to when I had received the pseudo water attribute thanks to the evolution last time, though I should have received the attribute it just felt like it was only in name as I couldn't really control plants now or something.

The only way I would actually be able to use this pseudo attribute would be to use the elemental control technique that is recorded in 'Cultivation Practice' using the water and earth elements correctly to produce the plants that I could actually control…

On the other hand, with me gaining the true earth attribute, I could use its full capabilities unlike the vegetation one, including activating 'Body of Elements', 'Elemental Armaments' and the starter elemental control of the third stage, which reminded me of…

'It's about time that I used that item to upgrade Lightning Cloud…'

Summoning a certain crossbow from my spatial ring, I used my mental connection with 'Lightning Cloud' to revert it to its cloud phase, as I checked the item first using 'Eye of Knowledge'...

[ 'Earthen Death Crossbow' (Unique**)

Description: A crossbow that carries the lingering scent of death after being the ender of countless enemies, it's made from a natural rare earth conducting mineral that should be extinct by now, ????.

* Item Ability - 'Earth Conductance'

* Item Ability - 'Spatial Trigger' ]

'Indeed…'

[ 'Spatial Trigger' (*)

Description: responds to the sequence of a certain spatial formation and commences the transfer of the item's holder. ]

The crossbow itself didn't seem like it had anything special other than it's earth element conduction ability at first sight, but upon close inspection using 'Eye of Knowledge', it wasn't hard to understand how it worked as the key to entering the trial and the base, with it being very likely that the other items of the set also had this special item ability, it wasn't that hard to understand anyway since the main principle of the bases, trials and corruption gates all seemed to be closely related to the spatial element…

'Well, that's not worth pondering about now, it's going to be used as a fire feed anyway.'

[ A Bow type weapon (Crossbow) has been detected ]

As I controlled the little cloud to touch the crossbow, the detection notif already came ringing in...

[ 'Earthen Death Crossbow' (Unique**) has been absorbed by 'Lightning Cloud' (Epic**) ]

[ Item Skill - 'Elemental Constitution (Earth)' Added ]

[ Item Skill - 'Spatial Trigger' has been added ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' has unlocked the (Crossbow) form… ]

[ 'Lightning Cloud' (Epic**) has evolved into 'Lightning Cloud' (Epic***) ]

* Item Skill - 'Silence' (Passive)

* Item Skill - 'Duplication'

* Item Skill - 'Spatial Trigger' (Passive) ]

'Eh?'

I had originally thought that it would only give me the addition of the crossbow form and the earth element vein like it usually did, but…'Lightning Cloud' actually absorbed the auxiliary skill as well?

I mean it wouldn't have been strange as it had already absorbed 'Silence' before, and even created ones like 'Duplication', but to absorb a specific use skill was a bit strange even for this unique weapon…

'What use would it even have now…?'

The skill description still remained the same even after its absorption, but knowing the nature of 'Lightning Cloud', it was unlikely for it to be completely identical, otherwise, it wouldn't even bother absorbing it.

'Hmmm…'

Using 'Instant Phase & Form change' once again, I changed the little cloud into the newly obtained crossbow form which was naturally identical to the absorbed 'Earth Death Crossbow' as I started checking by checking out the new addition to my elemental vein collection.

Not only was the crossbow much more advanced and lethal, but the earth vein also added upon the elemental amplification of 'Elemental Armaments' increasing its power by one more notch.

'This is also a bit easier to use…'

Using the heavy crossbow was naturally not a problem for someone who had over 30 stat points in strength like me, so without having to maintain the accuracy needed when using the Longbow form, it would make medium to low long ranged combat much easier!

However, when it came to using the new earth element in defense, I could only rely on using 'Body of Elements' in the state of earth for now as I currently had no techniques that used earth elements for protection that were available for my use.

'Let's hope I would find something good for my use once I join that sect…'

While only several hours had passed so far, I had already gained another element and upgraded my weapon once more, leaving me with only two more things that I needed to do before I would have finally finished the preparation that I could set up for my next plan…

Starting with the first task on my preparation to-do list, I opened my status as I once again started to ponder about how I should go about distributing my stat points this time.

'Hmmm… another balanced distribution might not work well this time…'

Considering the fact that I have been trying to balance all of my stats' aspects for all-rounder purposes, 8.55 points were a bit too little to distribute equally for 6 stats, as they would only add about 1.4 more points for each of them, putting them at 36.4 which didn't seem like a milestone to reach to begin with, so with that in mind, there was only one approach that I found the most appropriate…
