But the Soulsteel had completely changed its appearance—it became darker and deeper in hue, and its surface bore a subtle, flowing gloss, like a living liquid metal.

Ron cautiously picked up the Soulsteel and immediately felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.

This metal was no longer a cold, inorganic object but had transformed into something that could resonate with him.

Merely by touching it lightly, he could feel the energy flow within the Soulsteel, as clear and direct as feeling his own pulse.

To his surprise, when he attempted to use Spiritual Power to guide the Soulsteel to change shape, the metal's response was several times more sensitive than before.

With just a simple thought, the Soulsteel could instantly transform into the basic shape he desired.

"It's amazing..."

Ron watched the Soulsteel in his hand continuously change form with his mind:

At one moment it was a small knife, the next a coin, and then it turned into a delicate little bird.

Through this Soul Seal Ceremony, he had somewhat achieved an affinity with the Soulsteel.

The next step was solely about figuring out how to shape it into a Demon Sword Embryo, an undoubtedly lengthy process...

But for him at the moment, through the improvement and application of the 'Soul Seal' ceremony.

His understanding of Alchemy had already ascended to a brand-new height.

[Alchemy (Proficient) Experience Points +1]

[Breakthrough! Alchemy (Proficient 100/100)→Alchemy (Mastery 1/200)]

[Additional Traits Advanced:

Resonance→Three-in-One

(The synergy effects among Wizardry skills like Alchemy, Magic Potion Making, Enchantment, etc., will be moderately enhanced)]

An unprecedented sense of enlightenment rose in Ron's heart.

The essence of Alchemy was not just about the transmutation and restructuring of matter but also about a profound understanding and communication with the substance itself.

[Advancement conditions for Alchemist (Two Stars) have been met:

1. Proficiency in Alchemy√

2. Mastery in Alchemy√

3. Proficiency in Extraordinary Recognition√

4. Independently making more than three kinds of basic Alchemy Items√

5. Successfully improved at least one existing Alchemy Item blueprint√]

[Would you like to immediately change profession to—Alchemist (Two Stars)]

Ron was slightly surprised, not expecting the last condition: improving an existing Alchemy Item blueprint, would be fulfilled through this improvement of the Soul Seal ceremony.

He confirmed without hesitation in his heart: "Yes."

A warm current surged from the depths of his heart, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

Similar to every previous profession change, but with subtle differences.

This time, the energy was deeper, carrying an ancient rhythm, mysterious and profound as if stemming from a primeval legacy.

His Perception Ability instantly improved, and the molecular structures of surrounding objects seemed to unfold before his eyes.

Ordinary tables, chairs, walls, and tools became complex compounds made up of countless tiny particles, each material possessing its unique structure and energy characteristics in his view.

Even more wondrous, he could not just see these structures; he could intuitively understand how they formed, how they changed, and how to modify and enhance them through Alchemy.

[Occupation change successful!]

[Occupation obtained: Alchemist (Two Stars)]

[Basic Attribute Enhancement:

Spiritual Power: 3.8→3.99 (+0.2)

Magic Power: 2.1→2.55 (+0.45)]

[Special Bonuses:

1. Moderate increase in the speed of gaining skill experience related to Alchemy

2. Improvement in Material Perception Ability

3. Moderate enhancement of control over material changes]

Every profession change brought about substantial ability enhancements, and this time was no less profound.

Ron took a deep breath, sensing the changes in his body and spirit.

Indeed, it became more challenging to improve further, but despite this, the 4.0 Spiritual Power benchmark required for the Advanced Apprentice was just within reach.

The only pity was that the breakthrough in Spiritual Power seemed only achievable through the Meditation Technique, and the Advanced Apprentice was undoubtedly a key node.

[Detected Profession Synergy: Alchemist + Wizard Apprentice + Alchemist + Bloodline Knight]

[Acquired Synergy Bonuses:

1. Increased efficiency in energy extraction during Alchemy

2. Increased rate of extracting material essence

3. Increased conversion efficiency of reaction energy]

Ron looked at the variety of synergy bonuses, slightly satisfied with the burgeoning power within him.

This was the snowball effect brought about by multi-class professions:

Different paths of cultivation not only did not interfere with each other but, to some extent, formed a perfect complement, causing the overall strength to make a qualitative leap.

The synergy effects seemed not to end there; after all, when he advanced as an Alchemist, there were skills that advanced.

And during the employment as Alchemy Apprentice, two skills also underwent fusion.

So the next step should be—

[Detected Skill Synergy: Magic Potion Refining (Proficient) + Alchemy (Mastery)

→Material Refining (Proficient 30/100)]

With the prompt from the transparent panel, a stream of brand-new knowledge and enlightenment instantly rushed into Ron's consciousness.

"Material Refining," as a fusion skill, not only inherited all the advantages of Magic Potion Refining and Alchemy but also realized a sort of breakthrough transcendence in essence.

Ron couldn't wait to test this new skill.

He picked up several materials from the workbench and casually began mixing them.

Surprisingly, the previously intricate process of Magic Potion Refining, requiring precise measurements, strict temperature control, and complex procedures, now seemed remarkably smooth.

He could precisely grasp the optimal amounts and timing for adding various materials solely by intuition.

It was as if each material was actively 'conversing' with him, telling him how they should be combined and transformed.
