Entering the later stage of Qi Refining, Lin Jichen's attributes became even more formidable.

His strength and speed both exceeded a hundred points, thanks to those two top-grade elixirs, which gave him a total of seventy free attribute points.

After examining the changes in his attributes, Lin Jichen felt quite pleased.

If he encountered that Blood Baby again, he estimated he could easily handle it without even using any skills.

Closing the attribute panel, Lin Jichen began to check the updated game leaderboards.

Currently, there were four leaderboards: Cultivation, Talent, Pet, and Magic Treasure.

He started with the Cultivation leaderboard.

【Cultivation Leaderboard】:

Top Scholar: Song Xinghe·Mid Foundation Establishment

Second Place: Chen Feng·Early Foundation Establishment

Third Place: Li Zhiqiang·Early Foundation Establishment

Fourth Place: Feng Linwan·Early Foundation Establishment

Fifth Place: Le Xianpeng·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Sixth Place: Yang Yuran·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Seventh Place: Discipline Committee·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Eighth Place: Wu Jian Puppet·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Ninth Place: Jun Moxiao·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Tenth Place: Car God Online·Later Stage of Qi Refining

Eleventh Place: Meng Chen·Later Stage of Qi Refining

...

As expected, Lin Jichen's name was not on the leaderboard.

This was normal because Lin Jichen had not been solely focused on improving his cultivation and had wasted half a day.

Moreover, ordinary players didn't need to establish a Heavenly Dao Foundation like him. They had three choices for foundation establishment: Human Dao, Earth Dao, and Heavenly Dao.

Human Dao Foundation Establishment was the simplest and fastest, Earth Dao was slightly harder, and Heavenly Dao was the most stringent.

The Cultivation leaderboard didn't represent the true strength leaderboard. The real strength leaderboard would be revealed after the Ascension Tournament in "Tale of Immortal," where all players would register to compete for rankings.

Those rankings would be the real deal, so the current Cultivation leaderboard was quite inflated.

Lin Jichen glanced at it and lost interest, turning to the Talent leaderboard instead.

The Talent leaderboard was the most promising because players who made it onto this board had a bright future and could easily become experts.

【Talent Leaderboard】

Top Scholar: Lin Jichen·Heaven-defying Fate

Second Place: Jiang Luoyu·Elemental Power

Third Place: Chen Yuan·Sword Fanatic

Fourth Place: Shi Xiyue·Child of Destiny

Fifth Place: Yue You·Reincarnated Martial Saint

Sixth Place: Hu Sansan·Dragon Bloodline

Seventh Place: Wang Xianyi·White Rainbow Piercing the Sun

Eighth Place: Ye Shuangxing·Northern Demon Baby

Ninth Place: Dang Jinchuan·Dual Blade and Sword Mastery

Tenth Place: Xie Lingyang·Martial and Magic Prodigy

Eleventh Place: Yi Yanhui·Heavenly Triad

···

Lin Jichen didn't expect his Heaven-defying Fate to rank first.

He remembered that in his previous life, there were many powerful talents on the Talent leaderboard that he hadn't seen yet, probably because those players hadn't started the game.

But there were still many familiar names.

Jiang Luoyu's Elemental Power had always been in the top five of the Talent leaderboard, a very strong talent.

However, because Jiang Luoyu focused on managing her guild, she neglected her own strength, which was why she only ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly leaderboard back then.

Chen Yuan was very familiar to him, often dominating the top of the Heavenly leaderboard as the number one Sword God. His talent and personality were both obsessed with swords.

Shi Xiyue was also someone he knew, another Lucky One like him, and the first Lucky One in "Tale of Immortal."

Yue You, the first body cultivator in "Tale of Immortal," nicknamed Martial Saint.

Ye Shuangxing, the top demonic cultivator player, was recognized by the Shura Hall's sect master and taken as a disciple, possessing overwhelming demonic powers and mysterious spirit skills and supernatural powers.

Dang Jinchuan, the top blade cultivator.

Lin Jichen knew most of these people; they were all famous figures in the future.

Of course, talent didn't absolutely determine your future. Back then, Lin Jichen's "Business Genius" talent ranked in the millions on the Talent leaderboard.

Yet he still rose to the top of the Heavenly leaderboard as the number one magic cultivator.

Talent wasn't everything, but having a good talent at the start certainly made things easier for players.

Closing the Talent leaderboard, Lin Jichen opened the Pet leaderboard, which currently had only three names.

【Pet Leaderboard】

Top Scholar: Iron-Eating Beast

Second Place: Fire Python

Third Place: Blade Arm Mantis

...

It seemed most players hadn't acquired pets yet.

The last one was the Magic Treasure leaderboard, and amusingly, many of the items on it belonged to Lin Jichen.

【Magic Treasure Leaderboard】

Top Scholar: Spirit Grade·Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant

Second Place: Spirit Grade·Storm Gauntlets

Third Place: Spirit Grade·Xuezhao Blade

Fourth Place: Spirit Grade·Wind Chasing Fire Spear

Fifth Place: Spirit Grade·Crimson Cloud Sword

Sixth Place: Spirit Grade·Qiluo Umbrella

Seventh Place: Spirit Grade·Golden Cicada White Silk Robe

Eighth Place: Spirit Grade·Illuminating Staff

Ninth Place: Spirit Grade·Cloud Step Boots

Tenth Place: Spirit Grade·Doom Ring

Eleventh Place: Spirit Grade·Demon Subduing Staff

...

Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh; out of ten pieces of equipment, five were his.

It seemed the drop rate for equipment in "Tale of Immortal" was indeed very 'touching.'

Closing all the leaderboards, Lin Jichen got up from the bed and saw the Iron-Eating Beast still snoring away. He walked over and slapped its big butt.

"Get up, get up, time to work, Panda Xiong."

Woken up from its sleep, the Iron-Eating Beast was quite irritable, as it had a bad temper when waking up.

Just as it was about to swing its paw at him, it realized it was its master and quickly retracted its hand.

"Master, I'm so hungry."

Although the Iron-Eating Beast couldn't speak yet, after a blood contract, pets and their masters could communicate mentally.

But its normal needs were mercilessly mocked by Lin Jichen.

"How long has it been since you last ate? You're such a glutton."

Iron-Eating Beast: "..."

"You weren't like this when you made promises to me."

"Really? Did I? Don't make things up."

Lin Jichen turned his back on it without hesitation.

But the next second, he received a notification.

【Ding! Your pet Panda Xiong's loyalty to you has decreased by 10 points. Current loyalty: 90.】

Damn!

He almost forgot that pets had loyalty levels.

Lin Jichen held his head, regretting it deeply.

If loyalty dropped below 70, pets would disobey orders, and below 50, they might even rebel.

How could he forget this?

"I was just joking. Do you think your master is that kind of person? I woke you up to take you to eat."

Lin Jichen quickly changed his tone, trying to soothe Panda Xiong's mood.

But clearly, Panda Xiong didn't believe him anymore.

Lin Jichen was both amused and exasperated; this dumb bear actually had a temper.
