Despite the fact that this skill was really quite tricky, Qin Fang couldn't deny that it was a very good special skill, and it might even become a major weapon for him in the future.

At the initial stage of the skill, it wasn't very useful, but as it gradually improved, it became more and more terrifying... Especially when Qin Fang analyzed the skill's strengths and weaknesses in great detail, he made a bit of an unexpected discovery.

What was this unexpected discovery?

After the emergence of the Duplication Skill, the original Major Branch Skill—Repair, which had always existed on its own, automatically moved next to the Duplication Skill, and the two skills spontaneously generated a combined skill—Restoration.

Repair and Duplication were both very mysterious skills that didn't have a fixed form. However, the Restoration Skill was a little more definite in its use, which is the combined effects of repairing and duplicating...

For example, if an object is damaged or missing a part, simply using the Repair Skill could at best patch up the damaged area and return it to its pre-damaged state, provided that all parts of the object are complete. If an item is missing a part, what is absent remains absent, and it could not be restored to its original condition.

The same principle applies to Duplication. The object that is being copied will come out exactly the same as its reference model, without any differences.

But the Restoration Skill is relatively more impressive. It can restore the object that needs repairing to its original state, even if it is missing a part; it can use the same material to make it whole again.

Moreover, the items created through the Restoration Skill do not disappear due to time constraints but continue to exist...

The Restoration Skill is the result of combining two skills, and it does not have upgrade conditions. What really matters is the Proficiency of both Repair and Duplication skills.

As long as the Proficiency of both Repair and Duplication skills increases, the Proficiency of the Restoration Skill will naturally also increase...

In theory, the ultimate realm of the Restoration Skill could repair Earth... restoring it to its most pristine natural state.

Of course, that's just in theory. Qin Fang shouldn't count on it in his lifetime, unless he could actually live forever and survive for tens of thousands of years, then maybe he might have a glimmer of hope.

After closing the skills panel, although these skills were all very impressive, they weren't very useful to Qin Fang at the moment. In fact, before he appraised this Skill Book, what he had hoped for the most was a movement technique, which he was currently lacking.

As a martial artist, both moves and Inner Strength are essential, meaning both attack and defense are necessary, but at the same time, movement technique is also an extremely important component.

Qin Fang was a disciple of Master Cai and practiced Xingyi Fist. When it came to moves, there was nothing to criticize; with the genuine teachings of Master Cai, he was showing signs of surpassing his teacher.

However, the movement technique was a significant weakness for Qin Fang. Without good movement techniques, even with his +25 Agility, fighting against a Grandmaster-level Expert like Shangguan Tianling was still very difficult, and it was nearly impossible to dodge Grandmaster-level attacks...

But movement technique secrets are hard to come by. Even in the Martial World, they are scarce resources. Respected Martial Arts Clans may seem glorious on the surface, but in reality, they don't have any decent movement techniques. Only the large sects with long traditions, like the Heavenly Pool Sect where Shangguan Tianling belonged, have movement technique secrets to pass down...

It's also because movement technique secrets are so hard to find that every martial artist is very eager to obtain them. Even a very poor movement technique secret could cause many martial arts experts to be envious, including some at the Master and Grandmaster level...

...

"There isn't much time left, better clean up the loot and leave..."

Glancing at the time, it had been a significant while since Li Yuerong had fled. If she had managed to break free and call the police, they would probably be arriving soon.

Though Lei Peng and his uncle were suspects in a kidnapping case, now that they were dead here, if Qin Fang were caught red-handed, it would be impossible to clear his name.

Although Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling were dead, their bodies still shimmered with a glow that only Qin Fang could see, indicating that they had dropped some items.

Not everyone Qin Fang killed dropped items. At least, when he had killed so many mercenaries from the Remnant Wolf Mercenary Corps a few days before, he didn't get any drops at all, and all his loot was stripped from the bodies of those mercenaries...

But Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling had not disappointed Qin Fang, as they had indeed dropped a few items.

Lei Peng was at the same level as Qin Fang, having reached Level 5 Peak strength. Even the Golden Crested Snake that Qin Fang had first shot dead with a gun, if you disregarded the serpent's ability to spit venom, might not necessarily have been a match for Lei Peng...

So Lei Peng was kind of a mini BOSS himself, and Qin Fang really hoped he would drop something worthwhile; otherwise, it would be a waste of his reputation as the top member of the third generation of the Lei Family.

"Pick up!"

Qin Fang quickly approached Lei Peng's corpse and chose to pick up. Now that his Props Box had been upgraded, he had double the slots available for use, amounting to a total of 48 slots, which allowed him to store even more items.

"You've obtained 5 Replenishing Qi Pills."

"You've obtained 3 Blood Replenishing Pills."

"You've obtained 1 bottle of Berserk Potion."

The items weren't numerous, just three in total.

However, Qin Fang was utterly bewildered by these three items because, as far as he had seen before, he always thought they couldn't possibly exist.

Replenishing Qi Pills were an elixir that could refill one's Inner Breath. With just one pill and a bit of rest, one could completely restore their inner strength.

Blood Replenishing Pills were essentially health potions from video games, naturally used to restore Life Points. They were similar to Qin Fang's Superior Soup Dumplings, except that the Blood Replenishing Pills were much stronger, instantly adding +20 Life Points...

Berserk Potions were an extremely rare concoction. Upon ingestion, one could instantly become berserk, tripling their strength for a duration of 10 minutes. (Note: This potion's effects can't be removed with items.)

However, after 10 minutes, the user would enter a weakened state, their defenses would drop to zero, and they'd suffer double damage from any attacks... essentially, it was a drug that could harm the enemy but also inflict significant self-damage.

If the enemy managed to survive those ten minutes, then the user would become as defenseless as a lamb to the slaughter, especially since neither the berserk state nor the weakened state could be removed with special items.

Qin Fang, who killed people and monsters for loot, seemed to be obtaining this kind of potion for the first time. It wasn't that he had never had potions before; he'd been given three vials of Raging Potion while completing a mission, which seemed to be a sibling of the Berserk Potion by name, yet their effects were entirely different.

But it was indeed the first time for Qin Fang to acquire three types of potions at once...

However, Qin Fang's ability to adapt was not bad at all. He had now advanced to Level 5, his attributes had significantly improved, and the enemies he faced were becoming increasingly stronger. Qin Fang could feel that the System was gradually adjusting... As his level rose, certain items would have to gradually exit the stage, and inevitably better items would come into play.

"Ah, what a pity..."

Qin Fang felt somewhat dismayed in his heart, as the items dropped were finished potions. If he had obtained the recipes, it would have been perfect; then he could find the ingredients and craft them himself using his Pharmacopeia.

Of course, Qin Fang could also guess that Lei Peng was indeed from the Lei Family. If the Lei Family had the recipes for these elixirs, they would've become much stronger already and wouldn't still be just a Martial Arts Clan, lagging far behind the legacy of the great sects that had been around for hundreds or thousands of years.

"Shangguan Tianling, I hope you don't disappoint me..."

Having dealt with Lei Peng, Shangguan Tianling was next on Qin Fang's list to take special care of. If Lei Peng was considered a small Level 5 boss, then Shangguan Tianling, a Level 6 Grandmaster, was definitely the big boss.

Even the small boss Lei Peng had yielded three great items for Qin Fang, so it stood to reason that Shangguan Tianling, as a big boss, shouldn't be too stingy either.

Shangguan Tianling came from the great sect of the Heavenly Pool Sect and was also a core member of high status within the sect. It was likely that he carried quite a few treasures. Now that he was dead, according to the rules of item drops, it was very possible that some extremely valuable items could drop...

"Pick up!"

With great anticipation, Qin Fang used the pick-up function on Shangguan Tianling's body and immediately several items appeared in his Props Box, along with the System's notifications.

"You've obtained Treasure Map Fragment (Three)."

"You've obtained a Rare Item: Celestial Silkworm Golden Armor."

"You've obtained a recipe: Blood Replenishing Pill."

Just like Lei Peng, Shangguan Tianling also dropped three items that went straight into Qin Fang's Props Box.

"Damn, this luck is really fucking good... I get whatever I think of!"

After hearing these three notifications, Qin Fang was momentarily stunned and then extremely excitedly roared out loud, truly overwhelmed with excitement.

He had just been longing for recipes instead of finished potions, and Shangguan Tianling immediately dropped a recipe for him.

And coincidentally, it was the recipe for Blood Replenishing Pills... It truly was like getting whatever he wished for, which was why Qin Fang was so exhilarated.

Although Qin Fang was still puzzled about how a Grandmaster Level Fighter like Shangguan Tianling could drop a recipe, considering that even Lei Peng could drop potions, it wasn't too strange for Shangguan Tianling to drop a recipe.

Of course, Qin Fang might not have realized that Shangguan Tianling had earlier used an elixir to stop bleeding, which was actually the Blood Replenishing Pill itself... only it was given a different name in Qin Fang's system.
