Chapter 3729

After strolling through the Forging Street, Su Xiao did not find any items that caught his eye in the several shops he visited. He opened his contact list and discovered that Reid had sent quite a few messages.

Perhaps because the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 had been repaired too many times, Reid had developed a deep "friendship" with this long leather coat. Upon discovering that the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 had ascended to Origin-grade, Reid had "happily" left so many voice messages...

In fact, compared to repairing the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】, Su Xiao had another bold idea. He had obtained a three-piece set of dangerous items from the Old Beast King. The 【Core of Original Sin】 had been fed to the Book of Original Sin, the 【Ultra-Pure Abyss Blood】 was used to increase Abyss resistance, and now only the 【Ember Fire (Half-Sealed)】 remained.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Su Xiao felt that the compatibility between the 【Ember Fire】 and the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 should be quite high. Therefore, he wanted to let Reid try it. Once Reid finished repairing the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】, he would have him test whether the 【Ember Fire】 could be used to upgrade the 【Night of the Wild Hunt】.

Su Xiao did not click on all the voice messages in the dialogue box; instead, he sent over this hypothesis along with the attributes of the 【Ember Fire】. After a few seconds of silence, Reid sent a message back, indicating that it should be feasible.

After passing through the Forging Street, the shops on both sides mainly sold gemstones and ornaments. Continuing forward, Su Xiao arrived at the Appraisal Office.

The Appraisal Office was a magnificent iron-black building with multiple entrances, yet it was very sparsely populated. The reason was that 99.9% of equipment did not require appraisal; only a portion of Eternal-grade equipment needed to be appraised before it could be activated.

Entering the Appraisal Office through a corridor-like entrance and moving forward, he reached a small window with a single chair. After sitting down, a metal tray popped out from the opposite side. Su Xiao placed the 【Gravity Law Ring】 into it, and the metal tray retracted.

The row of numerical wheels above began to spin with a click-clack sound, eventually stopping at the number 14270. This meant that appraising this piece of equipment required 14,270 Soul Coins.

This was not good news. The appraisal fee for Eternal-grade equipment capped at 15,000 Soul Coins. The current value suggested that the rating of the 【Gravity Law Ring】 might not be very high. This left Su Xiao feeling suspicious; as one of the rulers of the Arcane Eternal Star, Dean Gu Ya's ring should, at the very least, be in the top tier of Eternal-grade equipment.

Su Xiao didn't have to wait long before the metal tray popped out, the 【Gravity Law Ring】 upon it faintly emitting a black, crow-like light representing gravity.

【Gravity Law Ring】

Origin: Arcane Eternal Star.

Quality: Eternal-grade.

Category: Ring.

Durability: 70/70 points (permanently reduced by 120 points).

Basic Bonus: All gravity-type abilities, level +2.

Equipment Requirements: Real Intelligence 350+ points, Real Stamina 320+ points, Magic-type basic skills Lv. 85+, Gravity-type basic skills Lv. 80+.

Equipment Effect 1: Gravity Law Core (Core·Passive), gain a health bonus equal to current Real Intelligence attribute × 150.

Equipment Effect 2: Life Arcana (Core·Passive), when mana is insufficient, one can consume health to release gravity-type abilities (consumption rate: 1 point of health equals 0.9 points of mana).

Equipment Effect 3:?? (Core·Passive), because the equipment is damaged, this ability cannot be activated.

Rating: 5190 points (Eternal-grade equipment rating is 3000～6000 points.)

Introduction: Originally one of the top law rings, but after suffering severe spatial damage and solar flame damage, this equipment was damaged, causing its rating to drop significantly.

Price: 8500 Soul Coins.

After seeing the attributes of the 【Gravity Law Ring】, Su Xiao knew why Dean Gu Ya's ring wasn't a top-tier ring. It had indeed been one originally, but after a battle in the Wind Sea World, this 【Gravity Law Ring】 had been damaged.

The original 【Gravity Law Ring】 was definitely several grades stronger than it was now. Fortunately, the current one wasn't bad either. Su Xiao arrived at the Trading Street and found Xiang Bubu Wang and Benny already waiting there. He took Xiang Bubu Wang and Benny to the teleportation tower at the innermost part of the Trading Street. After entering, a flash of spatial teleportation brought them to the Great Gathering Place.

The Great Gathering Place was quite lively. Su Xiao went to the stall Benny rented long-term. Sitting behind the stall, he marked the price of the 【Gravity Law Ring】 at 300,000 Soul Coins. The price of Eternal-grade equipment ranged between 100,000 and 500,000 Soul Coins; marking it at 300,000, while slightly inflated, was still reasonable.

The reason it was considered inflated was that the target audience for the 【Gravity Law Ring】 was very small. Gravity-type users were already few, and gravity-type users who could meet the wearing qualifications for the 【Gravity Law Ring】 were even rarer.

Su Xiao glanced at the remaining 246,000 Soul Coins and opened his skill list to check the seven "Basic Passives" that had all been upgraded to Lv. EX and were now emitting a pale golden luster, arranged in a row. He had invested a massive amount of resources into these seven "Basic Passives." In return, these seven "Basic Passives" did not let him down, making his route of "basic attacks being ultimate moves" even more powerful.

The current problem was that all seven "Basic Passives" were maxed out, and "Overlord's Power" was only 1 Golden Skill Point away from being maxed out as well. Under these circumstances, he finally had the qualifications and resources to challenge "High-Tier Passive" abilities.

Su Xiao looked toward a stall area on the south side of the Great Gathering Place. There were very few people there, but the dozen or so stalls displayed many skill scrolls. Without even checking their attributes, just by looking at their appearance, one knew these skill scrolls were no common items.

An interesting fact was that "Basic Passives" were extremely difficult to buy, and "Basic Passives" with the highest potential were even impossible to buy; one could only obtain them by relying on 【Basic Passive Skill Scroll Treasure Chests】. However, "High-Tier Passive" ability scrolls were quite easy to buy, and even the "High-Tier Passive" ability scrolls with the highest potential were also quite easy to purchase.

The reason for this was that such abilities were not only expensive in themselves, but the upgrade costs were also very high. More importantly, not everyone had the qualifications to master such abilities. Over 90% of Qiyuezhe did not have this qualification, which led to the fact that although the production of "High-Tier Passive" ability scrolls was scarce, even fewer people could use them, making them easy to buy.

Not long after setting up the stall, a man in a black robe stopped in front of it. After stopping, the man took off his hood, revealing a bald head and a barcode on the back of his head. Without needing to think, one knew this was a Qiyuezhe from the Death Paradise.

"This ring is not bad, name a price."

The black-robed man did not hide his satisfaction with the 【Gravity Law Ring】. Being able to come into contact with Eternal-grade equipment meant he was either Tier 9 or stronger. Having struggled to this level, some once-practical tricks were no longer necessary to use, such as pretending to have little interest in the equipment to haggle, acting as if he could take it or leave it.

"I would prefer to trade for a piece of equipment of the same grade."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the black-robed man nodded and asked with half a probe: "Technique Grandmaster?"

"Yes."

"That's a pity. I have an energy control-type original ring here. For this ring of yours, 300,000, not a penny less?"

"No."

"Are you interested in inscription fragments?"

Hearing the black-robed man say this, Su Xiao became somewhat interested and nodded. The black-robed man opposite him took out three Eternal-grade inscription fragments.

【Molten Iron Inscription × 3 (Eternal-grade Inscription): Increases the intensity of some fire-type abilities.】

Seeing these three 【Molten Iron Inscriptions】, Su Xiao felt a secret pity. This should have originally been an inscription stone, but it had been shattered, and only fragments could be used to make inscription pieces.

Seeing this, Su Xiao had a good idea, but he was still missing one inscription fragment, so he offered: "Add one more."

"This..."

The black-robed man pondered for a few seconds, picked up the 【Gravity Law Ring】, and did not hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

"Alright, I am indeed very satisfied with this ring. I'll give you all four."

The black-robed man placed all four 【Molten Iron Inscriptions (Eternal-grade Inscriptions)】 on the stall. Although the rating of these four inscription fragments was only 3900～4000 points, which were on the lower end of Eternal-grade inscription fragments, Su Xiao was very pleased with these four.

Plus, even a single Origin-grade inscription fragment would cost tens of thousands of Soul Coins, let alone an Eternal-grade inscription. Even if these four 【Molten Iron Inscriptions】 were polished from broken inscription stones, their price was greatly discounted, but if a suitable buyer were found, the price would definitely exceed 300,000 Soul Coins.

From the furrowed brows of the black-robed man just now, it could be seen that he had been stuck with these four 【Molten Iron Inscriptions】 for some time. Now that he could sell them, he naturally did not hesitate anymore.

Although the equipment was sold, Su Xiao did not get up from behind the stall. He took out the 【Inscription Pedestal·God Sacrifice】.

【Inscription Pedestal·God Sacrifice】

Type: Five-inscription slot pedestal.

Main Inscription Slot: Supreme Blazing Sun.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Scorching.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Blazing Flame.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Flame Arcana.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Light Knight.

Inscription Effect: Supreme Blazing Sun (Core·Passive), immune to 61% of solar flame damage, including true damage caused by solar flames (base 55%, for every sub-inscription inserted into the inscription pedestal, the effect of this main inscription will be additionally increased by 0.1%～5%, meaning a maximum immunity of 75% solar flame damage).

After a few crisp sounds, Su Xiao peeled off the four sub-inscriptions and handed them to Benny. Not far away, there was a stall that bought inscription fragments. He had spent a total of 24,900 to buy these four Immortal-grade inscriptions back then. Selling them now actually fetched 26,800 Soul Coins. After one world progression, not only did he not lose money, he even earned 1,900 Soul Coins.

At this time, only the 【Supreme Blazing Sun】, an Origin-grade inscription, remained on the 【Inscription Pedestal·God Sacrifice】. Normally, an Origin-grade main inscription would be paired with an Origin-grade sub-inscription at most; this was the limit, but Su Xiao wanted to overload this inscription.

Although the effect of 【Supreme Blazing Sun】 was not bad, Su Xiao now used the "Sun Holy Sword" as a means to deal with enemies. Even if he could exempt 61% of the damage, he still couldn't withstand it. Don't look at Dean Gu Ya hard-tanking the "Sun Holy Sword"; Dean Gu Ya was a veteran absolute powerhouse, and his physique was not weak at all, which could be seen from the 【Gravity Law Ring】.

With a click, Su Xiao pressed a 【Molten Iron Inscription】 into a sub-inscription slot of the 【Inscription Pedestal·God Sacrifice】. A scorching sensation came from his hand, and the entire inscription pedestal seemed as if it were about to melt. The 【Supreme Blazing Sun】, the 【Molten Iron Inscription】, and the inscription pedestal showed signs of melting together.

Ignoring this, Su Xiao pressed the remaining three 【Molten Iron Inscriptions】 into the three vacant sub-inscription slots.

【Warning: Your main inscription and inscription pedestal are overloading!】

【Overloaded by 20%, 45%, 100%.】

【Status has stabilized.】

【Hint: When your inscription pedestal is in an overloaded state, it will exert stronger performance, but when its bearing capacity reaches the limit, it will be damaged, causing all inscription fragments on it to be destroyed together.】

【Inscription Pedestal·God Sacrifice】

Main Inscription Slot: Supreme Blazing Sun.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Molten Iron Inscription.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Molten Iron Inscription.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Molten Iron Inscription.

Sub-Inscription Slot: Molten Iron Inscription.

Inscription Effect: Supreme Blazing Sun (Core·Passive·Overloading), immune to 85% of solar flame damage.

Warning: This inscription pedestal will consume durability at 7～8 times the speed, and in the overloaded state, durability cannot be repaired.

Warning: Because this is a scorching overload, all inscription fragments have merged with the inscription pedestal.

Su Xiao hung the pendant-like inscription pedestal back on his waist, along with the Soul Locking Lamp. One was ghostly green, the other a scorching golden-red. Although this thing had become a consumable piece of equipment, he didn't feel it was a pity. This was a trump card for critical moments; even if it could only be used a few times, it was worth it.

Getting up from behind the stall, Su Xiao arrived at the stall area selling "High-Tier Passives" and began searching for a "High-Tier Passive" suitable for himself among the dozen or so stalls. Picking up the first scroll, he found that this charm-characteristic "High-Tier Passive" scroll was worth 145,000 Soul Coins.

Not long after, a skill scroll caught Su Xiao's eye. The aura of this scroll was somewhat familiar.

【Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade (High-Tier Passive): Selling price 185,000 Soul Coins.】

【Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade: Lv. 1 (Technique-type·Passive)】

Hint: Only after mastering the "Technique Sublimation" ability and upgrading the "Technique Sublimation" ability to Lv. EX can one master this ability.

Hint: Only after mastering seven or more "Basic Passive" abilities and upgrading them all to Lv. MAX, or higher Lv. EX, can one master this ability.

Skill Effect 1: Blade-type weapon attack power increased by 10%.

Hint: Only when the Blade Technique Grandmaster ability reaches the limit attack power bonus, causing you to obtain "Heart of the Grandmaster (Passive)," can you obtain this bonus.

Skill Effect 2: Blade technique move power increased by 10%.

Hint: Only after upgrading "Technique Sublimation" to Lv. EX can you obtain this bonus.

Skill Effect 3: Blade technique potential grade +1.

Skill Effect 4: Blade technique upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be upgraded in any way).

Hint: This ability only takes effect for Blade Technique Grandmasters above Lv. 80, and after mastering this skill, one can perform a one-time correction upgrade. Without upgrading the blade technique level, one can consume additional resources to increase blade technique intensity. This correction can only be performed once.

Not to mention the selling price, the prerequisites for mastering it alone were enough to make many Qiyuezhe shrink back. Seven basic passives at least at Lv. MAX, a top-tier "Technique Sublimation" ability as a foundation, plus a Blade Technique Grandmaster level of at least Lv. 80.

In contrast, the upgrade of "Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade" was also very large. After the Blade Technique Grandmaster increased "Blade-type weapon attack power" to 1200%, the upgrade in this aspect stopped. To continue upgrading, one could only rely on this "High-Tier Passive."

Compared to this, Skill Effect 4 of "Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade" was even more formidable; it directly affected the upper limit intensity that Blade Technique Grandmaster could reach. As for the correction upgrade mentioned by this characteristic, it was very suitable for Su Xiao's current situation.

His Blade Technique Grandmaster had already been upgraded to Lv. 82. Through this correction upgrade, which meant consuming 10 Soul Crystals and 95,000 Soul Coins, he could complete the correction upgrade of Blade Technique Grandmaster from Lv. 80 to Lv. 82 without upgrading the blade technique level. This opportunity only existed once, but it was enough; he just needed to save up 10 Soul Crystals.

Su Xiao immediately bought "Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade." Recalling the experience of mastering "Technique Sublimation" back then, he chose to use this skill scroll directly.

The mastering process went very smoothly. Su Xiao checked the "Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade" he had already mastered.

【Technique Sublimation·Ultimate Blade: Lv. 21 (Technique-type·Passive)】

Skill Effect 1: Blade-type weapon attack power increased by +210%.

Skill Effect 2: Increase blade technique move power by 210%.

Skill Effect 3: Blade technique potential grade +5.

Skill Effect 4: Blade technique upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be upgraded in any way).

That's right, Su Xiao had just mastered this ability, and it had already upgraded to Lv. 21. This was the bonus brought by his Blade Technique Grandmaster ability. However, there was a problem: this "High-Tier Passive" was very strong, yes, but the upgrade cost was also very expensive, reaching as high as 24,000 Soul Coins per level. This was even after the 20% discount from the 【Reincarnation·Glory Badge】.

After Su Xiao waited for a few minutes at the Great Gathering Place, a goblin merchant hurried over. The other party said with a face full of smiles: "Guest, these are the goods you wanted. Our inventory of this type of goods is also very small, and we barely managed to gather the quantity you wanted. If you need more in the future, you must book in advance."

"Hmm."

Su Xiao opened the crate to check the "Sediment Glaze" inside, totaling 3,200 pieces. After confirming there were no problems, he paid 1,500 ounces of Space-Time Power. The style of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce remained the same; these "Sediment Glaze" were worth at most 1,000 ounces of Space-Time Power, but given the style of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, if Su Xiao weren't a regular customer, they would have dared to ask for 2,000 ounces.

He collected all the obtained "Sediment Glaze" into the Abyss Shop, after which he opened the exchange list of the Abyss Shop.

【Exclusive authority has been activated, authority is: Original Sin Sealer.】

【Original Sin Sealer (Passive Authority): For every Abyss·Original Sin item you hold/seal/suppress, the exchange price of all items in the Abyss Shop will be reduced by 10%.】

【Current exchange price reduction obtained: 40%.】

【Current Sediment Glaze: 5,418 pieces.】

For the remaining probability, one will obtain strange items (the price difference between different strange items is huge).

Inventory quantity: -- (Each person can exchange for a maximum of 3).

Exchange price: 43～1,800 pieces of Sediment Glaze (determined according to the power system grade of the profession/inheritance; the Hunter is a Law-Breaking Shadow, requiring 1,800 pieces of Sediment Glaze to exchange for this treasure chest).

8. Greed Money Bag (Tier 4)

Effect: After opening, one can obtain -40,000～4,000,000 Soul Coins.

Inventory quantity: -- (No exchange limit).

Exchange price: 1 piece of Sediment Glaze.

Hint: The exchange price of the Greed Money Bag (Tier 4) has changed from an incremental type to being superimposed according to the quantity already exchanged.

The things in the Abyss Shop were indeed getting cheaper and cheaper. Su Xiao quickly completed the exchange.

【You obtained Original Fragment × 1 piece.】

【You obtained Star Power × 2 portions.】

【You paid a total of 5,412 pieces of Sediment Glaze.】

The existing Original Fragments reached 5 pieces, enough to cope with ascending to absolute powerhouse status. Although there shouldn't be this opportunity at the current stage, it was better to be prepared.

After leaving the Great Gathering Place and returning to the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao headed straight to the Equipment Enhancement Hall.

【Welcome to use Equipment Enhancement Machine No. 190.】

The tray of the equipment enhancement machine extended, and Su Xiao placed Zhan Long Shan on it.

【Equipment check completed, Zhan Long Shan +13 (Origin-grade). If you need to enhance to +14, you need to pay 1 Origin Stone.】

【Warning: The failure rate of this enhancement is on the high side.】

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to this hint. He took out Star Power × 2 portions and the 【Star Stone Disk】, designating these three enhancement items as enhancement materials for +14, +15, and +16. After confirming everything, the metal tray of the equipment enhancement machine retracted. He had just prepared to start the enhancement.

"Oh ho, I..., ah no, Bai Ye, you're here to enhance a weapon?"

Gulu's voice came from the side. Su Xiao turned his head to look. The equipment enhancement machine next to him had already been activated by Gulu and was about to reach a critical moment. Because there were many people just now, he really hadn't noticed that the other party was right next door.

With a click, a crisp sound came from the equipment enhancement machine in front of Gulu. She smiled easily, then turned and left with her usual expression. Just after leaving the Equipment Enhancement Hall and completely out of Su Xiao's sight, the relaxed smile on her face suddenly stiffened, and she gradually clenched her fists.

"Ah!!"

A passerby brother was startled and said angrily: "Are you sick!"

Gulu turned around and returned to the Equipment Enhancement Hall, came to Su Xiao's side, and said: "I have a lot of experience with enhancement. Why don't you let me watch the enhancement process?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, temporarily opening the enhancement preview to Gulu. Seeing that Zhan Long Shan was Origin-grade +14, Gulu, who originally held the belief that she couldn't let her own enhancement fail, suddenly changed her mind. At this enhancement level, she hoped even more for success.

"You calm down, with your invincible luck, you must maintain a 100% success probability before making a move for +14 enhancement."

"..."

Su Xiao started the equipment enhancement machine. However, this enhancement took an exceptionally long time. Two hours passed and it still hadn't ended. Gulu, who was on the side, was so bored she yawned.

This enhancement was naturally going to be very slow because it was three consecutive enhancements, taking a total of two and a half hours before the enhancement ended.

Pfft!

A burst of steam sprayed from the four corners of the bottom of the equipment enhancement machine, and a hint appeared.

【Zhan Long Shan enhancement +14 successful.】

【Zhan Long Shan enhancement +15 successful.】

【Zhan Long Shan enhancement +16 successful.】

Su Xiao picked up Zhan Long Shan from the metal tray. Because it had just exceeded the limit enhancement level, Zhan Long Shan would still need a few hours to fully stabilize before its attributes could be viewed. Seeing this, he sheathed the long blade and walked out of the Equipment Enhancement Hall.

"Wait, wait."

Gulu, who had finished her daze, followed. She asked urgently: "How... how did you do it?"

"Just good luck."

"Ah?"

Gulu was stunned. She pondered for a while, but in the end, she didn't say what she couldn't help but say, so as not to get beaten up when she met Su Xiao in a mission world in the future.

"Alright, your luck is better than mine. By the way, what are you going to do later? I'm hungry, let me treat you to a meal."

"Treating a friend to lunch."

"Can I come along?"

"Hmm."

Su Xiao walked toward Xia's restaurant. When he pushed open the restaurant door, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were all at the dining table. Xia was busy in the back kitchen, while Benny was stealing freshly cooked delicacies by relying on her looks. Even Miss Benny, who was cold to outsiders, could not resist the temptation of delicious food.

After Su Xiao sat down, he took out his terminal to pass the time. Gulu, who also took out her terminal on the side, smiled and said: "Bai Ye, shall we play a few games? I'm a novice, very bad."

Gulu, pretending to be a novice, sent a game request. An hour later, she put away her terminal and sternly stated that playing games was simply a waste of her precious time. From the new tooth marks on the terminal, it could be seen that the result of the competition was not very optimistic.

The delicious food was finally served. Various rare ingredients obtained from the Wind Sea Continent were basically on the table. The slightly tired Xia also walked out of the back kitchen. Seeing Gulu, she asked: "Is this the friend you mentioned before?"

"No, she's here to sponge a meal."

Just as Su Xiao finished speaking, one of the restaurant doors was pushed open. Solomon walked into the restaurant. Although he didn't say a word after entering, he nodded to Su Xiao and then sat in an empty seat.

Lunch began. Su Xiao and Solomon were both people of few words, and Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny, who were busy eating, also had no time to speak, causing the atmosphere to become increasingly heavy.

"What's with this serious atmosphere? Isn't this lunch?"

Gulu couldn't help but complain, which made Solomon's hand pause, his gaze looking at Gulu, staring.

Sweat broke out on Gulu's face. Solomon perhaps also felt the atmosphere was too serious, so he casually summoned the Hell Band. Soothing music played, but for some reason, the Evil God servants in the Hell Band were now shaking like chaff.

"Your summoned creature seems very nervous. What's wrong with it?"

While speaking, Gulu picked up a piece of stir-fried heart-protecting meat with chili peppers. This delicacy was very good with rice.

"Not sure."

Solomon spoke rarely. After picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and chewing it slowly, he frowned and examined the Evil God servants in the Hell Band. For some reason, the Evil God servants trembled even more severely.

Xia heard the conversation between the two, and her gaze also looked at the Evil God servants. The Evil God servants, who were already on the verge of being scared out of their wits, fell straight backward after being looked at by Xia, as if they had gone into shock.

"Solomon, your summoned creature is too timid. But having said that, these dishes are really delicious. It was worth it to come here to sponge a meal this time."

Gulu was in a very good mood, and then she finished another bowl of rice.

"..."

Su Xiao picked up his wine glass.

"..."

Solomon also picked up his glass. After a symbolic toast, both glasses of elemental brew were drained in one gulp.

After eating and drinking his fill, and after Solomon and Gulu left, Su Xiao also got up to leave. But not long after leaving the restaurant, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten to pay the bill again. However, recently he had been bringing his own ingredients, so he would pay the bill together when he came for the next meal.

After returning to his exclusive room, Su Xiao used the Library Badge to open a spatial door to the Soul Library.

The scene that met his eyes was full of huge bookshelves a hundred meters high. Beside the bookshelves were many quite steep wooden book ladders that could be pushed back and forth. Little elves flew between these huge bookshelves, either organizing books or doing cleaning work. Some lazy ones were sleeping on top of the books.

Su Xiao walked between two rows of huge bookshelves a hundred meters high. Ten minutes later, he walked up a semi-arc-shaped staircase and entered a separate compartment.

The inside of the compartment was occupied by tree roots. Among these messy tree roots, a figure could be vaguely seen. This figure had five arms, and the skin on its body was withered but had a fine texture. There were eyes on the palms of its five arms. It was the owner of the Soul Library, the Ancient One.

The Ancient One had a gray cloth strip wrapped around its head, revealing only one right eye. At this time, the Ancient One was sleeping. Because it sensed Su Xiao's arrival, the Ancient One opened its right eye.

"The Abyss... has already... begun, approaching you, be, cautious... and... maintain awe."

A voice so deep it didn't sound like it was made by a living being came from among the withered tree roots in front. This was the warning of the Ancient One.

Most of the time, Su Xiao encountered enemies of the Law-Breaking faction. But in the Soul Library, the powerful Ancient One showed a different attitude toward the Law-Breaking faction. The Ancient One, who had long since ignored visitors to the library, would give some warnings every time Su Xiao came to see it.

【Hint: You are negotiating with the absolutely neutral existence·Ancient One.】

【You have submitted various tribal ancient books.】

【You have submitted the tattered Ancient One's proof.】

【You obtained 1,580 Library Silver Coins.】

After exchanging for Library Silver Coins and leaving behind a piece of Black Maple tree trunk, Su Xiao left the Ancient One's sleeping place and headed straight for the spiral staircase in the center of the Soul Library.

When he walked up the central spiral staircase and reached the end, he stopped at a landing. Two double-opening dark gray metal doors blocked his way. In the center of the metal doors was a badge-shaped groove. He took out the Library Badge and pressed it into it.

The door on the top floor of the library clicked open. The light on the top floor was a bit dimmer. Walking into the top floor, uniform snoring sounds came, and soul bubbles representing dreams floated over. Su Xiao heard the sound and looked over, seeing a particularly huge head.

This head was so large that its diameter was at least 10 meters or more. Because it was too huge, it could no longer maintain a relatively normal head shape. It gave people the feeling of a jellyfish emitting soul-blue light floating there.

This was the manager of the top floor of the library·Soul Elder. Before the Law-Breaking era, this person was already a soul archmage who shook the Void. At this time, the Soul Elder was sleeping soundly and snoring, with a kind and gentle expression on its face. It had been floating there for many years. Su Xiao had many questions he wanted to ask this elder, but unfortunately, the other party had been sleeping, and he didn't want to disturb it. It seemed there was no chance this time either.

Arriving at the counter of the exchange office, the little elf·Popoli was reading a book inside. Seeing Su Xiao come, the little elf·Popoli sat up straight and asked with a smile: "Bai Ye, my younger brother hasn't caused you any trouble recently, has he?"

"No."

"That's good, that's good. What are you here for this time?"

"Sealing Studies."

Su Xiao prepared to invest all his existing Library Silver Coins into Sealing Studies to cope with the current situation of the Book of Original Sin and the four Original Sin items.

"Didn't you take away the Complete Book of Sealing not long ago? That's very high-level Sealing Studies knowledge. You should master those first..."

"Already mastered."

"What?!"

The little elf·Popoli was shocked. He looked Su Xiao up and down and sighed: "Could it be that you are a world-shaking genius in Sealing Studies?"

"Not really..."

Su Xiao didn't hide his clumsiness. He really wasn't; he just had a relatively strong motivation to master Sealing Studies, the motivation of four Original Sin items.

"Hiss~, you really mastered this too quickly. How many Library Silver Coins did you get this time?"

"1,580 pieces."

While Su Xiao was speaking, he took out the "Complete Book of Sealing" to return it, which got him another 101 Library Silver Coins. Counting the existing ones, the total reached 1,681 pieces. The little elf·Popoli in the counter pondered for a while and suddenly asked:

"Bai Ye, is it convenient to tell me what you are going to seal? Sealing an enemy? Or some dangerous creature? Or sealing some strange secret treasure? Different types of sealing have different focuses."

"Original Sin items."

"Is that so? Wait a moment."

The little elf·Popoli flew away. Not long after, he hugged back a metal box with a sense of history. This box looked as if it had been poured from molten dark silver.

"High-Tier Sealing Studies, don't listen to this simple name. The valuation of this knowledge reaches 3,800 Library Silver Coins. Of course, I was organizing the knowledge on the top floor recently, so I just happened to divide it into two parts, the first and the second. And coincidentally, the exchange price of the first part is 1,680 Library Silver Coins. You say, isn't this a coincidence?"

"..."

Su Xiao put down the Library Silver Coins and a few bottles of elemental brew. The little elf·Popoli's eyes immediately lit up. Obviously, he had tasted this fine wine. Without needing to think, he knew it was the irritable little elf·Diagu who had given his elder brother a bottle of the elemental brew that Su Xiao had shared with him.

Every time the little elf·Popoli was mentioned, the irritable little elf·Diagu was full of disgust and disdain. As a result, this guy who was addicted to alcohol, after getting top-notch fine wine, didn't enjoy it alone but sent it to his elder brother. Without needing to think, he knew the expression and tone of the irritable little elf·Diagu when he sent the wine: 'Tsk, I've quit drinking recently, here you go.' After saying that, he turned around and swallowed his saliva, then walked away with big strides.

Saying goodbye to the little elf·Popoli, Su Xiao took Benny back to the Reincarnation Paradise. After returning, he headed straight for the Eighth Floor of the Land of All Living Things in the Trial Grounds. Since he could use the Eighth Floor of the Land of All Living Things for free, of course, he couldn't waste a single minute. After some bitter cultivation.

【Hint: Your stay time limit has been reached, and you are about to return to the real world.】

【Teleportation begins.】

The scene in front of Su Xiao blurred. The next second, he was already on the second floor of the accessory shop. Going down to the first floor, he leaned on the recliner. Although he was too tired to lift a finger, he still wore the "Ancient Scholar" title and took out an ancient book of Sealing Studies to read.

By noon, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha were all thinking seriously about what to eat for lunch today. Xiang Bubu Wang wanted to eat noodle soup, Baha suggested hot pot, Benny wanted to eat sauerkraut fish, and Amu was casual, as long as the portion was enough. Finally, it was decided to eat rice with toppings for lunch. Then, after more than an hour of Amu's cooking, everyone decided to order takeout. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and they were quite hungry.

And the rice with toppings cooked by Amu was eaten entirely by itself. Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Baha, and Benny really couldn't eat it, and decided that Amu was not allowed to enter the kitchen from now on.

While reading the ancient book of Sealing Studies, time passed very quickly. Without feeling anything, the sky outside the window darkened. Ignoring it, he continued reading. Not long after, Su Xiao found that the sky was bright again.

When Su Xiao had read a few ancient books of Sealing Studies and his level in this aspect had improved significantly again, he checked the time and got up to go upstairs to rest. Not long after he woke up, the hint from the Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Hint: You are about to return to the Reincarnation Paradise.】

Closing the hint, Su Xiao tried to consult which world he would enter in the next world progression. The result was very smooth, and he even knew which world he was about to enter a few hours in advance. This was a significant advantage, allowing him to make appropriate preparations.

【Hunter's current situation is being judged...】

【Judgment completed.】

【World selection completed, you are about to enter: Eternal Light World.】
