#87 - Chapter 87 Sixth Level Up
As Shen Xingyan pressed the 'Level Up' icon next to the experience bar, his 5848 experience points rapidly dwindled.
Advancing from level 5 to level 6 consumed 500 points, and from level 6 to level 7, it took 600 points. Following this pattern, each level-up required 100 more experience points than the last.
However, when leveling from 9 to 10, it consumed a full 1000 experience points.
Shen Xingyan was already aware of this exception. After all, level 10 served as a significant threshold, so he found such an experience requirement understandable and had mentally prepared for it.
“Congratulations! Your profession level has been raised to level 10. You are rewarded with +1 to all attributes, +2 to free attribute points, and a 1% reduction in profession skill cooldown time. We hope you continue to strive for further improvement!”
Having reached level 10, he watched as all his attributes increased by 5 points, with a substantial boost to his body's various stats. His free attribute points also increased by 10, and adding the 1 point he had remaining, his total free attribute points reached 11.
“I've only used about ten days and so easily raised my profession level to 10. The whole process has been too relaxed and comfortable. If other professionals of my cohort knew about this, I can't imagine how they would react!”
Thinking of this, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but feel a surge of smugness. Realizing he was about to get carried away, he quickly began to put pressure on himself, repeatedly chanting in his mind: 'Be steady, don't be reckless!'
Under these six words of truth, it took him quite a while to suppress his emotions.
He sighed inwardly, 'My self-cultivation is still lacking! A little improvement and I can't handle it. This won't do! I need to change!'
Shen Xingyan fiercely鞭策着鞭策着 himself in his heart, unaware that if others knew of his behavior, it would trigger even more intense emotional波动!
Calming down, Shen Xingyan looked at the remaining 2248 experience points and had no intention of saving them. He was just about to click on the upgrade button when Xingyuan's notification sounded again:
“Congratulations! Your profession level has reached level 10. You have now unlocked the elementary Primal Energy cultivation technique: Stillness Art!”
Stillness Art: After use, the professional will enter a meditative state. At the same time, the technique will run automatically to increase the professional's Primal Energy limit. The minimum meditation time is 2 hours.
With the appearance of this prompt, the cultivation function bar also appeared in Shen Xingyan's attribute panel, ready for use at any time.
“Sure enough, the Primal Energy cultivation function is automatically activated upon reaching level 10. I heard that while practicing this Stillness Art, one's mental state will also be effectively improved.
Those high-level professionals who stay in Xingyuan for a long time use this technique while sleeping, achieving a win-win situation of cultivating while sleeping. It sounds quite nice, although for them, the improvement is relatively slow, but it's a steady stream!”
Looking at this cultivation technique, Shen Xingyan couldn't help but think happily, “Too bad, even if they are good, they probably can't compare to me.
With the little skeletons taking care of the farmland, I don't need to engage in professional activities much and can still achieve a state of cultivating while sleeping. Plus, with 10x the cultivation speed, they probably couldn't catch up even if they tried!”
After happily finishing his thoughts, Shen Xingyan temporarily suppressed the urge to start cultivating immediately. His top priority now was to level up his profession first.
Thinking this way, Shen Xingyan immediately pressed the 'Level Up' icon, and Xingyuan's prompt appeared as expected:
“Congratulations! Your profession level has been raised to level 11. You are rewarded with +2 to all attributes, +4 to free attribute points, and a 2% reduction in profession skill cooldown time. We hope you continue to strive for further improvement!”
Consuming 2000 experience points, his level successfully reached level 11, and the rewards for leveling up to 11 brightened his eyes.
The attribute increase was within his expectations. Although it doubled, it was also because the experience consumption increased, giving a feeling of improvement, but not overwhelmingly so.
However, seeing the profession skill cooldown time also halve, it gave him a little surprise. At this rate, by the time he reached level twenty-something, he could cast twice a day. The idea of increasing crop progress by 20% per day was terrifying!
Shen Xingyan happily looked at his attribute panel after the upgrade:

Looking at the attribute panel, which was considered luxurious compared to before, Shen Xingyan nodded in satisfaction.
If all these attributes were extracted into the real world, he would have a fighting chance against the patrol officer from today!
Although combat professionals level up faster and earn money faster than life professionals, the number of gold coins required to extract so many attribute points into the real world is not small.
Assuming one attribute point costs 10 gold coins, a professional who normally levels up to level 10 can obtain 54 attribute points. To extract all of them into the real world, it would require 540 dazzling gold coins.
A top-notch professional without any backup power would need at least a year or two to earn so many gold coins.
Of course, these are all in normal circumstances. Professionals like Shen Xingyan who have fortuitous encounters are not included in this range.
After admiring his brand-new attributes, Shen Xingyan turned his attention to the farmlands waiting for him to sow and opened the Xingyuan Mall to search for level 3 crop seeds.
