Based on the information I received earlier, skill books are divided into two types: one is an imbue-type skill that can be learned directly. Once obtained and meeting the requirements, it can be mastered immediately. The essence of this skill requires later gradual comprehension, with higher-level skills having certain requirements.
The other type is a learning-type skill that requires self-study and comprehension. Depending on one's comprehension ability and the skill's compatibility, one can acquire the skill. Generally, this type of skill is more powerful, especially those with higher difficulty.
These skills are usually mastered through self-study, and players have greater control and proficiency over them compared to imbue-type skills. They are more easily mastered in their intricate details, and any successful learning becomes a primary skill for the player to rely on.
"I have a guess, and can try it now."
Xu Ming showed a strange smile. He had just checked which books were recognized by the system as skill books and found quite a few in the Hall of Great Peace, a total of ten.
If he were to follow the normal procedure, mastering just one book would likely grant him a Daoism-related core skill based on his choice. However, the current Xu Ming had no intention of taking the usual path.
[Use Talent to Fuse Skills, Detected Same Skill Already Exists: ???]
After obtaining two books, Xu Ming indeed saw the prompt from his talent. He knew his talent level was insufficient, and these books were likely of a higher level. Fusing them might be a waste, but for Xu Ming, anything he obtained was not a waste.
"Hehehe..."
Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh excitedly. Several Daoists looked at him strangely, completely unaware of Xu Ming's intentions regarding the original texts in the Hall of Great Peace.
Xu Ming unceremoniously took all ten original books and hid in a corner of the Hall of Great Peace. Then, he activated his talent skill. This talent indeed covered all skills of the same type, without distinction between learning-type or imbue-type skills.
Now, Xu Ming directly fused all the legacy books of the Way of Great Peace. With a faint glow, the ten books before Xu Ming disappeared.
A brand-new skill appeared directly in Xu Ming's core skill slot.
[Way of Great Peace Legacy (Growable/Core Skill): D+ Grade, Mastered all Daoism legacies of the Way of Great Peace, possessing the qualification to become Zhang Jiao's successor. All Way of Great Peace related skills have their effects increased by 30%, consumption reduced by 50%. Gained additional special abilities: Talisman Drawing (can draw talismans based on mastered talisman skills, consuming Energy Points and materials) Command Wooden Puppets (temporarily summon two talisman wooden figures to assist in combat) Daoism Mastery (Greatly enhanced mental resistance). Attached attribute bonus: Constitution +3, Spirit +15, Strength +5, Agility +3. Leveling requires continued reading of Daoism related books (0/500)]
"Holy crap, this is so broken."
Xu Ming exclaimed involuntarily. The core skill's bonus was terrifying. A typical D-grade core skill providing 15-20 points as a bonus would be considered reasonable. Yet, this Way of Great Peace Legacy directly added 26 points.
Combined with the three attached special abilities, it further increased Xu Ming's strength. Talisman Drawing gave him a new method for crafting consumable items, Command Wooden Puppets gave him a temporary summoning method to add some cannon fodder, and Daoism Mastery improved his mental resistance, making it difficult for ordinary illusionary techniques to control Xu Ming.
"It's time to leave. There's nothing more to gain by staying, and it would be bad if Zhang Jiao found out, considering I consumed originals that can be used as skill books."
Xu Ming chuckled, put on all his equipment, and before the time ran out, directly chose to settle his mission.

[Do you wish to keep your initial skill?]
"Yes."
Xu Ming was quite satisfied with the Rejuvenation Talisman. Although its effect was slightly inferior, it was still a recovery skill. Now that it's fused, would Paradise allow him to separate it?
[Your Novice Trial has been completed, congratulations on becoming a formal Paradise Player]
