My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 108 - 98: Path of the Purifier

Chapter 108: Chapter 98: Path of the Purifier

Sang Hanhai said helplessly, “It could also be that our deciphering is incomplete. But as it stands, this profession is impossible to take. It truly lives up to its name as a Holy Profession.”

But Su Chen wasn’t disappointed, because he still had his panel. Just as he expected, it reacted the moment the profession was discovered.

[The Scholar and the Wise Man, excited to find an old friend they hadn’t seen in ages, had a cordial chat with the Saint, reminiscing about the time they were once a single entity…]

’A single entity?’

Su Chen quickly latched onto a key phrase. “Does that mean they were once a single profession? Maybe it’s not a prerequisite for something else, but a fusion?”

His mind raced with possibilities. He even wondered if this was one of the requirements for the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator profession.

The three-way conversation didn’t yield any immediate results.

Seeing Su Chen’s expression shift, Sang Hanhai teased, “Now, now, kid, no regrets. It wasn’t exactly free for me to pull up information on this profession, you know.”

“Even if I can’t take it, it was still my choice,” Su Chen said with composure.

Sang Hanhai nodded to himself, seeing how quickly Su Chen regained his composure. Su Chen had just wasted an opportunity to acquire a profession, yet he remained so calm. It spoke volumes about his mental fortitude.

“However…” Su Chen’s tone shifted, and he asked a bit sheepishly, “Working with you these past two days, I’ve gotten quite curious about deciphering the Holy Word Stones. I was wondering if I could still come and learn from you in the future?”

“Learn?” Sang Hanhai asked in surprise. “You’re a Double Red Gold. The place for you to shine is the Judicial Court.”

’If it were anyone else, I’d suspect them of trying to curry favor. But that’s unlikely for Su Chen. He has Xia Hanshi as his backer and is a Double Red Gold himself. There’s no real need for him to get involved with us at the Translation Department.’

’Is he trying to break away from Xia Hanshi?’ The thought crossed his mind, but he immediately dismissed it. ’We’ve only known each other for three days. If he’s not an idiot, he can’t possibly expect me to go up against Xia Hanshi.’

“Southwind is a small place. I never had any exposure to this kind of work before, and now I find it pretty interesting,” Su Chen said, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Alright…” Sang Hanhai mused for a moment. “I’ll hold on to your temporary pass, then. You can come find me for a chat whenever you have some free time.”

He agreed. Putting other considerations aside, Su Chen was tactful and handled himself well. He had also spared no effort to help out this time. Sang Hanhai had a good impression of him.

“Thank you for the opportunity, Elder Sang,” Su Chen said with a smile.

Sang Hanhai retrieved his eyeball from the cleaning instrument, popped it back into its socket, and prepared to leave the break room.

Su Chen followed behind him and seized the opportunity to ask, “I heard you mention verification just now. Does our Translation Department have a Spatial Rift?”

’My Space Storer profession still has one last requirement to fulfill,’ Su Chen reminded himself.

“Our?” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “We don’t have any Spatial Rifts at the Translation Department. Creating one is no simple feat. In all of Ying Feng, only a handful of people have that ability.”

Su Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. He changed the subject, “I heard my teacher say that there aren’t many professions that can enhance one’s Talent postnatally. The Scholar, the Wise Man, and now this Saint are all examples.”

“It strikes me that their names are all very similar. Are they connected in some way?”

“…You’re a curious one,” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “We speculate that there is a connection between them, but it’s hard to say what it is exactly.”

“I recall that in Yuan Capital, there’s another similar profession called the [Spiritualist].”

“Spiritualist?” Su Chen froze for a second as the panel gradually materialized before him.

[…The Scholar, Wise Man, and Saint, deep in cordial conversation, heard the familiar name. It sparked a memory, and they seemed to recall something…]

[Path of the Purifier: Gather all professions required for ascension to become a Purifier.]

’Purifier? Ascension?’

’Is that the Upper-tier Profession for the Scholar and the others?’

’A super-upgraded, all-in-one version? It probably increases one’s Talent, too, right?’

He thought of the Profound Purple Talent level required for the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator.

“Spiritualist…” His mind wandered. He didn’t know if becoming a Purifier only required adding the Spiritualist to the mix, or if there were even more professions needed.

When he looked up, he saw that Sang Hanhai had already reached the laboratory doors. Su Chen was about to hurry after him but stopped short.

The metal doors slid open, and someone entered.

“Old Yuan…” Sang Hanhai greeted the newcomer familiarly. “It’s been a while since you last came by.”

“Haha…” The man’s hair and beard were completely white, and he looked quite old, yet his frame was still burly. His square-jawed face held a natural dignity.

“Professor Sang, I wouldn’t dare disturb you unless it was important,” he joked, striding into the laboratory with a commanding air.

His gaze immediately locked onto Su Chen, who was the only one not in a lab coat, and his expression shifted slightly.

“Su Chen?” he asked.

’Great… another one who knows me.’
