Ye Zhongming discovered that there were two items that reacted to the yellow Nourishing Life Soil.
One was the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant, and the other was the Mental Energy Recovery Necklace.
Having the experience of previously modifying his pants, Ye Zhongming knew that the Nourishing Life Soil needed to reach a certain amount before the equipment would undergo changes. Without hesitation, he directly used over a hundred grams of it. Soon, the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant underwent a transformation.
The most noticeable change was the increase in level; the silver Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant upgraded to green.
Next, the changes to the skills of this defensive equipment were significant.
“Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant, Ability 1: Spatial Magnetic Field. It creates a magnetic field around the wearer, causing all metallic long-range attacks targeting the wearer to deviate.”
“Ability 2: Time Charging. The Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant charges up over time when not activated; the longer it remains inactive, the higher its defensive capability.”
This was the skill description of the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant before; there were no precise numerical attributes. This was related to its white-grade status when it was first obtained.
Now, the equipment’s abilities were as follows:
“Earth Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant, Ability 1: Spatial Magnetic Field. Upon activation, a magnetic field forms around the wearer, causing all targets that enter the field to be affected by double gravity, resulting in a strong deviation effect on all metallic long-range attacks targeting the wearer.”
“Ability 2: Time Charging. The Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant charges up over time when not activated; the longer it remains inactive, the higher its defense.”
“Ability 3: Earth Charging. The Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant has a special charging mode; every five hundred hours, it gains a charge after being buried in the ground. When necessary, it can activate the equipment, possessing the ability of the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant’s spatial magnetic field for a duration proportional to the number of Earth charges. Activating this skill does not affect the duration of regular time charging.”
“Ability 4: Skill Sacrifice. When the wearer encounters a fatal metallic attack, the equipment will sacrifice all its skills to substitute for the wearer in resisting the attack. After sacrificing skills, abilities can be replenished through special methods.”
“The Earth accessory equipment comes with an additional property: Earth Color Radiance. When wearing Earth accessory equipment on the ground, the wearer’s accessory skill effects increase by ten percent.”
Compared to its previous appearance, the new skills not only increased significantly in number but also in power. For example, the upgrade of Ability 1, the Spatial Magnetic Field, allows Ye Zhongming to have options during battle; he no longer needs to activate the equipment only when defending against metallic long-range attacks. Now he can activate it at any time, causing targets to be unexpectedly affected by double gravity, making it almost a guaranteed finishing move.
Ability 2 remained unchanged but was complemented by Ability 3, allowing this equipment to be usable even in regular situations without affecting the normal time charging.
What delighted Ye Zhongming the most was Ability 4; this was a capability that elevated the Spirit Resonance Qilin Pendant to top-tier equipment, as it could grant the wearer an extra life.
Such substitute-death equipment was extremely rare in his past life, even scarcer than the nine-star Evolution Potions and purple-grade equipment. Anyone who obtained anything with a substitute-death attribute would want to keep it, and it was the kind of thing that everyone desires to have nine lives, wanting to avoid death at all costs. No one would give up a chance to live for a small benefit.
With such rarity, the price was naturally exorbitantly high, extremely expensive, and often hard to find.
