In the exclusive room, a scale made entirely of gold appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

Although this scale was made of gold, it didn't look brilliant, but rather somewhat old. The overall frame was simple, consisting of a base, a vertical rod, a crossbeam, and two trays on the left and right. This was the Overlord-grade equipment 【Golden Scale】.

Introduction: The origin of the Melted Gold Demon was smelted into gold water by the Silintis dwarves, cast into a mold, and forged into a Golden Scale. Later, it was stolen by a thief. Since then, this item has fallen into the hands of a Devil-race, used by this Devil-race to bewitch traders. He would give this item to traders for free, but without strong consciousness and soul, being corrupted by gold is a matter of time.

After the trader is completely corrupted, the Devil-race will come to take away the Golden Scale and take away the gold water turned from the trader. After mixing an appropriate amount of soul energy into the gold water, it will be cast into destiny gold ingots to seek violent profit.

Price: After using this equipment, it cannot be sold.

Su Xiao looked at the 【Golden Scale】 in his hand, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

According to the description in the equipment introduction, this thing is used to pit people. Without a sufficiently strong soul and willpower, one will be corrupted by "gold" after using this thing, eventually turning into "gold water". If handled properly, these "gold waters" are very valuable.

Su Xiao carefully observed the 【Golden Scale】 for a while, and finally he determined one thing: this is a product of alchemy, and there are unique alchemy array patterns of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization on it.

From Su Xiao's perspective as an alchemist, this thing is definitely not used to pit people. This is a high-level application of soul energy. Its ingenious structure and cumbersome alchemy array patterns, even Su Xiao, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Su Xiao has heard the great name of the Silintis dwarves in the Void countless times. This race has gone extinct because they were staunch allies of the Law-Breakers.

The Blade Demon energy sealing device Su Xiao used before came from the hands of the Silintis dwarves. It can be said that most of the utensils used by Law-Breakers were manufactured by the Silintis dwarves.

Forged by the Silintis dwarves, and with array patterns depicted on it by alchemists of the Second Era · Alchemy Civilization, it can be called a strong combination. The Devil-race that once obtained this thing actually used it to pit people?

This operation belongs to confusing behavior. Presumably, that Devil-race was not strong. After obtaining the treasure, he dared not make it public, nor could he ask his own race. The Devil-races are not friendly to each other, and pitting each other is a common occurrence.

Golden Scale has three abilities, but only one is unlocked now. Su Xiao doesn't know if this thing is an item used to assist alchemy. If it is, then he has made a big profit.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the second or third ability of this scale can improve extraordinary materials, then there is a lot of room for operation.

The final effect of alchemy products is determined by materials and manufacturing methods. Assuming the materials for manufacturing Apollo are improved, the gain to the finished Apollo can be imagined.

Not only Apollo, but the materials for potions can also be improved. At that time, the effect of the finished potion will definitely be improved.

Of course, these are all Su Xiao's assumptions. Whether Golden Scale can improve materials is still unknown. Currently, it improves consumable items.

Place items on the left tray and Soul Crystals of any specification on the right tray. After the scale reaches a balance, it will permanently strengthen the items.

For other contractors, this is a very practical ability. For Su Xiao, this is a very wonderful ability.

Su Xiao has a special piece of equipment called 【Soul Lock Lamp】, which has the effect of collecting the enemy's soul energy after killing the enemy, purifying, and filtering it to form Soul Crystal Fragments.

Then synthesize Soul Crystal Fragments into Soul Crystals (Small, Medium, Large). Each synthesis will consume the durability of 【Soul Lock Lamp】. The durability of 【Soul Lock Lamp】 cannot be restored.

This looks like a consumable piece of equipment, but Su Xiao doesn't need this equipment to synthesize Soul Crystal Fragments into Soul Crystals.

He has the Soul Eater talent. He had been improving his soul intensity by eating Soul Crystal Fragments before. Later, he got used to it, and plus his soul was stronger, he didn't eat Soul Crystal Fragments much, and directly ate the Soul Crystals (Large) he obtained. Not only were they delicious, but the improvement was also more stable.

Now 【Soul Lock Lamp】 has a new role. Su Xiao's idea is to accumulate Soul Crystal Fragments in 【Soul Lock Lamp】 by killing enemies, and then place the Soul Crystal Fragments on the tray of Golden Scale to permanently strengthen the items. In layman's terms, it is free-loading.

Golden Scale requires Soul Crystals (any specification). In principle, Soul Crystal Fragments are actually very small pieces of Soul Crystals.

Since the size is not big enough, then use quantity to make up for it. Thinking of this, Su Xiao took out 【Resurrection Wood (White ~ Epic-grade item)】 from his storage space and placed it on the left tray of Golden Scale.

He unhooked the 【Soul Lock Lamp】, which looked like a hanging ornament, from his waist and released a handful of Soul Crystal Fragments from it. 【Soul Lock Lamp】 has some space characteristics. It doesn't look big, but it can store quite a few Soul Crystal Fragments. After all, this is a piece of equipment purchased from the Honor Store.

Su Xiao poured the Soul Crystal Fragments in his hand onto the right tray. Soon, the scale reached a balance point. The Soul Crystal Fragments in the right tray were gradually absorbed by Golden Scale, and the array patterns on it lit up, injecting a burst of converted soul energy into 【Resurrection Wood】.

The improvement process was faster than imagined. Finally, 【Resurrection Wood】 was promoted to (White ~ Holy Spirit-grade item). This thing is a recovery-type item with an effective range of 1–100 meters. The higher the user's Charisma attribute, the stronger the effect and the larger the range.

Although the free-loading was successful, the number of Soul Crystal Fragments in 【Soul Lock Lamp】 is not infinite, and they can only be stored in it. After taking them out, if they are not used within half an hour, the Soul Crystal Fragments will gradually convert into pure soul energy and eventually drift away.

Items like 【Axe Hatred】, 【Condensed Resentment Blood】, etc., can all be permanently enhanced once through Golden Scale, limited to once, and it is absolutely impossible to repeat the enhancement.

Su Xiao has an idea. If he gets an item that can store a large number of Soul Crystal Fragments, after the Soul Crystal Fragments accumulate to a terrifying degree, can he strengthen the 【Time Hourglass】 through Golden Scale? If he can, this "big gift" for Arcane Eternal Star will have more weight.

Su Xiao got up and walked into the alchemy laboratory. He had previously obtained a cell with strong division and compatibility characteristics. Now that he finally had time, he was prepared to create an alchemy creature based on this cell.
