The reason is that "golden skills" are actually differentiated, and the "golden skills" Fang Xian synthesized have two drawbacks.
According to Zhao Yunlong's explanation, the lowest-level "golden skills" are synthesized from "black skills" and occupy 5 "skill slots."
Ten lowest-level "golden skills" require 50 "skill slots," making it impossible to unlock "red skills" with them.
This is because level 1000 only unlocks 45 "skill slots," not enough for ten lowest-level "golden skills."
If Fang Xian hadn't been cautious and concealed the information about his "golden skills," it would have been revealed that his "golden skills" required 5 "skill slots."
This would have made Wu Lingtian and the others realize that Fang Xian must be hiding a huge secret; otherwise, how could he possess synthesized "golden skills" on Blue Star?
Although Wu Lingtian and his group are descendants of the Dragon Kingdom, many of them were born in the Great Thousand World and might not necessarily harbor much goodwill towards them from Blue Star.
Fang Xian wasn't afraid of Wu Lingtian and his group, but being new to the area, it was truly inexcusable to have carelessly put himself in danger.
The second drawback was that synthesized "golden skills" couldn't be upgraded.
This was why Fang Xian had 484,000 "Golden Roc Golden Skills" gathering dust in his "system inventory."
He hadn't yet learned any "Golden Roc Golden Skills," otherwise he wouldn't have been able to obtain the top-tier "red skills."
However, his women had already clicked to learn them; once they reached the corresponding levels, they would automatically learn them and couldn't be unlearned.
Fang Xian felt helpless. Qinglong had explained the relevant knowledge points about "golden skill books" before, but Qinglong didn't know many details, leading to this series of problems.
However, he could later use non-synthesized "golden skill books" to unlock "red skills."
Because non-synthesized "golden skill books" only occupy 4 or fewer "skill slots," and identical "golden skill books" could be used for enhancement.
The higher the enhancement level, the stronger the "Golden Skill," and the stronger the "Red Skill" unlocked later.
This is why many incredibly powerful races have perished.
The more powerful a figure is, the more they crave the perfect "Red Skill."
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly displayed in this vast world.
...
"Well, this is your rear palace."
Zhao Yunlong laughed heartily, pointing to the palace ahead.
Looking around, rows of neat palaces created a strong visual impact.
The palace roofs were uniformly covered with golden glazed tiles, the eaves carved with exquisite patterns of auspicious phoenixes, qilin, and dragons, lifelike.
Each palace was constructed of sturdy bricks and stones, tall and solid.
"These are the rooms for the core disciples. You can choose any room that doesn't have a number."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
"We're all family, no need to be polite. I'll be going now."
Fang Xian said goodbye to Zhao Yunlong and found a row of consecutively numbered rooms to stay in.
"I can't hug my husband for a whole day, it's killing me!"
"I want to kiss my husband."
Fang Xian stopped them, glancing around seriously.
"We're in unfamiliar territory now, so we need to be careful and avoid giving others a live broadcast."
"Honey, do you mean someone is spying on us?"
The women frowned slightly, looking around for anything suspicious.
After a careful inspection, Yukino, Qinglong, and Suzaku shook their heads and said,
"Honey, we didn't find anything suspicious."
Fang Xian nodded. Only Yukino, Suzaku, and Qinglong had any knowledge of the Great Thousand World.
Since they hadn't found anything, it was very likely there was no surveillance. After all, for the Dragon Alliance to engage in such activities would chill the hearts of "core disciples."
However, just to be on the safe side, he cleared a space in the large room, leaving no furniture behind.
He took out the "Divine Artifact: Concealing Cloth" and set its concealment range over the entire open space, isolating all spying.
Then he took out a huge bed from his "System Inventory," placed it on the open space, and lay down comfortably.
"Business is business. Let me check the 'Core Disciple's' gift boxes first."
He took out two gift boxes, each containing 100 "Universal Stones," 1 "Slaughter Scroll," 1 "Dragon Alliance Token," 1 "Communication Cell," 1 "Blue Skill Book," 1 "Return Scroll," 1 "Points Recorder," and 1 "Dragon Alliance Robe."
They already knew about the "Universal Stones"—they had many uses, but the quantity given out was a bit small.
It seemed "Universal Stones" were still quite scarce.
Fang Xian had them all click to use the "Universal Stones," and then returned 484,000 "Universal Stones."
Now it's not scarce anymore.
[Dragon Alliance Token: A symbol of Dragon Alliance status, granting free access to all Dragon Alliance locations.]
[Communication Phone: Activates by injecting mental energy, allowing for chatting, video calls, location services, etc.]
This is essentially a Blue Star phone; the functions are basically the same, and it even has various short videos to watch.
Unexpectedly, the entertainment in this vast world is quite abundant, although the content is a bit too explicit and offensive.
The difference between the "Communication Phone" and the Blue Star phone is that it doesn't require a signal or charging; it only needs the corresponding "mental energy" to function continuously.
[Slaughter Scroll: Opens a special dungeon. The dungeon level is the same as the user's, with no limit on the number of players allowed. It's a one-time use item.]
This "Slaughter Scroll" is somewhat similar to the previous "Experience Dungeon Summoning Scroll," both being special items.
The difference between the two lies in the experience points gained and the number of people allowed to enter.
[Return Scroll: Only usable within the Blue Star region. Uses immediately to return to Asian City.]
This "Return Scroll" is rather useless; the range restriction is too severe, making it not very practical.
[Points Recorder: Used to record points earned in the Dragon Alliance, which can then be used to exchange for items.]
It records many ways to earn points and the items that can be exchanged.
However, Fang Xian doesn't plan to go on adventures for now. He decides to play it safe and gather more information before researching further.
[Dragon Alliance Robe: The uniform of core disciples of the Dragon Alliance. It always fits perfectly and increases "Defense" by 50%.]
Fang Xian takes it out and clicks to wear it.
The white robe automatically puts on him, adjusting to the perfect size.
A pristine white robe adorned Fang Xian, adding to his elegant and refined air.
He was simply:
A gentleman as refined as jade, unparalleled in the world.
