Chapter 3789: Abyssal Store

Su Xiao left the Forging Street quickly. It wasn't that he left without saying goodbye; there was indeed an urgent matter. He had just forgotten it and needed to return to his exclusive room immediately.

After returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao went straight to the pharmacy and sat at the workbench, taking out the 【Sun Blood Flower (Eternal-tier · Rare Material)】 obtained in the Eternal Light World.

"Sun Blood Flower · Effect: Eat directly to permanently increase 10 real stamina attributes and 50,000~56,000 health, and treat 'deep damage'."

Such a treasure, of course, would not be eaten directly. In the eyes of a pharmacist, this was no different from wasting a heavenly treasure. Su Xiao opened the title list and equipped the 【Miracle Maker】 title, which had just been upgraded to 9-star not long ago.

【Miracle Maker】

Origin: Void Tree

Quality: ★★★★★★★★★

Category: Rare · Title

Title effect 1: Miracle (Passive), when performing potion blending, there will be a higher probability of entering the peak state you can reach. This is "Absolute Focus," thereby blending a "Miracle" grade that surpasses the "Perfect" grade.

Title effect 2: Focus (Passive), when wearing this title to blend potions, it will consume 20 mana points per second, thereby bringing a more focused mental state. When blending potions, there is a higher probability of entering the "Absolute Focus" state.

Introduction: Focus is the key to surpassing perfection and creating miracles.

Price: Cannot be sold.

If the 7-star 【Miracle Maker】 had a 2%~5% probability of blending a "Miracle" grade potion, then the current 9-star 【Miracle Maker】 at least increased this probability to 20%.

Of course, this was based on blending high-tier potions like 【Origin Potion】 and 【Starry Sky Potion】. If blending low-to-mid-tier potions, Su Xiao had more than 80% confidence in blending a "Miracle" grade, while blending a "Perfect" grade was a general performance, and as for "Excellent" grade, that was a mistake.

After wearing 【Miracle Maker】, Su Xiao began to blend potions using 【Sun Blood Flower】 as the main material. After spending a total of 30,000 Soul Coins to exchange for auxiliary materials, an unnamed potion was successfully blended.

【To be named (Perfect)】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise · Saint Flame Pharmacist.

Quality: Eternal Tier.

Type: Permanent buff potion.

Effect: After drinking, permanently increase 13 real stamina attributes, permanently increase 70,000 health, and treat "deep damage".

Perfect grade bonus: After drinking, permanently increase 2 real stamina attributes, and all abnormal resistance permanently increase by 30 points.

Score: 5,980 points (Eternal-tier quality potion score is 3,000~6,000 points)

Introduction: To be determined.

Price: To be determined.

Although the feel of this blending was good, it lacked a sense of naturalness. However, the Perfect grade 【To be named】 potion was also quite good. For this kind of high-tier potion blended for the first time, Su Xiao had a maximum 50% probability of blending a Perfect grade.

After drinking the blended potion, Su Xiao felt as if he had drunk liquid fire. His throat and tongue were numb with spiciness, but a few seconds later, this burning sensation faded, turning into a gentle moisturizing feeling.

Leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao walked toward the Attribute Enhancement Hall, but when passing by the Forging Street, he didn't take the street he usually passed through, but took a detour.

This caused Reed, who was holding a blacksmith hammer and sitting on the steps with his foster daughter, Woo Woo, to block nothing. The plan to block Su Xiao and blackmail a few bottles of elemental wine by holding his long leather coat fell through.

It wasn't that Su Xiao was prescient. Reed knew Su Xiao's habits every time. After leaving equipment like Dragon Flash and Black King Armguard with him for maintenance and repair, he would go directly to the Attribute Enhancement Hall to improve himself. Therefore, Reed was blocking the returning Su Xiao, so he faced the direction of the Attribute Enhancement Hall. As for why he didn't block at the entrance of the Attribute Enhancement Hall, it wasn't that they really had a grudge; it was just that he took advantage of the gap in getting materials to block for a while on the steps near the shop entrance.

Su Xiao had forgotten to blend potions just now. Before using Power Essence, he certainly wanted to improve his attributes as much as possible. So on the way to the Enhancement Hall again, he saw the back of Reed waiting on the steps.

He didn't know who this old friend was waiting for, but since the other party was waiting for someone, Su Xiao didn't disturb him and decisively took a detour.

Attribute Enhancement Hall. Su Xiao walked into the attribute enhancement chamber, and the chamber door behind him closed.

【Welcome to use Attribute Enhancement Chamber No. 1278.】

【Available real attribute points: 70 points.】

Su Xiao checked his attributes. Because he had just drunk the permanent buff potion, plus the bonus of "Perfect Physique," his stamina attribute was much higher than the other three main attributes. Therefore, his way of allocating attribute points was: Strength +20, Agility +22, Stamina +8, Intelligence +20.

In this way, 70 real attribute points were consumed, and he activated the attribute enhancement chamber he was in.

*Hum~*

The attribute enhancement chamber began to operate. Su Xiao sat on the ground. Because the improvement this time was huge, he felt a faint stinging sensation on his body. However, in the Eternal Light World before, he had increased each of the four main attributes by more than 90 points at once, so he quickly adapted to the large improvement this time.

When the attribute enhancement chamber stopped, wisps of heat rose from Su Xiao's body. He let out a long breath of turbid air and took out a portion of Power Essence.

【Absolute Strength, X (Passive)】

Secret Law Power: After absorbing Power Essence, current real Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Intelligence permanently increase by 5% (already strengthened twice by Power Essence)...

"Power Essence" was sealed in translucent resin. Su Xiao crushed it with one hand, and a colorless energy spread out. It first merged into his hand, then entered his torso along his arm. These essence energies wandered through his limbs and bones, and then became less and less, which was caused by the absorption of various parts of his body.

The improvement of "Power Essence" was very intense, so it required full concentration. This was not like using real attribute points to improve; one only needed to feel oneself. When using "Power Essence," if one was not careful, it would be an irreversible disaster.

When the translucent essence energy all over his body stabilized, it gradually turned into a spring-like active energy, emerging all over Su Xiao's body, causing his physique to improve rapidly.

This rapid improvement was easy to get lost in. Fortunately, Su Xiao's Heart Meditation ability was as high as Lv. 96, and he quickly stabilized his mind.

When one portion of Power Essence was absorbed, Su Xiao's real Strength attribute had reached 443 points. A surging power spread from his body, but this was not the end.

Su Xiao took out another "Power Essence" and crushed it to absorb it. Half an hour later, faint blood mist began to drift from his whole body. This was the risk brought by using "Power Essence" to significantly improve body attributes.

Su Xiao did not stop, but took out a third "Power Essence" and crushed it to absorb it. Two hours later, he gradually stabilized his breath.

The reason he did this was because he had sufficient "Original Fragments" on hand, and also because of the "Origin Potion" he would blend later. After blending the "Origin Potion," even if he couldn't blend a Miracle grade, he had to drink this potion, otherwise it would be too late.

"Origin Potion" did not improve combat power at all, but stabilized the foundation, which was to strengthen one's own ability cornerstone. Under these circumstances, Su Xiao naturally dared to significantly improve his body attributes. Later, after drinking a bottle of "Origin Potion," let alone using three portions of "Power Essence," even more could quickly stabilize himself.

Of course, this step of using "Original Fragments" to stabilize himself could not be saved. When Su Xiao improved his strength, he had always spared no cost.

Taking out 7 "Original Fragments," Su Xiao used them all. A large amount of original power surged from within and merged into his body. It could be described as comfortable all over. The loss of control caused by the "huge" improvement of physical fitness vanished in a short time. After meditating for a while and his breath was completely stable, he checked his data:

Real Strength: 489 points

Real Agility: 489 points

Real Stamina: 489 points

Real Intelligence: 485 points

Charm: -21 points

Luck: 80 points

Soul Strength: 860 points

Real Willpower: 350 points.

Elemental Affinity: 1,152 points.

Thunder Attribute Resistance: 618 points.

Abyssal Resistance: 53 points.

The four main attributes were close to 500 points, which was close to the minimum standard for advancing to a strong person. But Su Xiao knew that he still had a distance that was not close to advancing to a strong person.

Su Xiao felt that everything around him was a bit slow. This was caused by the significant improvement in body speed. After he left the Attribute Enhancement Hall, he first went to the Trading Street, and then arrived at the Great Gathering Place through the teleportation tower at the end of the Trading Street.

Passing through stall after stall, Su Xiao came to a stall area on the south side of the Great Gathering Place. There were fewer people here, and the dozen or so stalls around were all displaying skill scrolls.

More than half of the people behind these dozen stalls were empty, representing that the scrolls on the stalls were not negotiable. In fact, even if there were people behind these stalls, they were there to collect scrolls.

What was sold on these dozen stalls were all high-tier passives. At the level of mastering this ability, everyone knew the price of these scrolls, so there was no need to bargain.

Su Xiao did not intend to buy the 【High-tier Passive Skill Scroll Chest】 in the Honor Store at the price of 300 ounces of Space-Time Power per piece. In the introduction of this thing, there was indeed a hint that "In this chest, there will not appear high-tier passive types that the Hunter has already mastered," but don't be misled by this hint.

There were many types of high-tier passives. Just the high-tier passives of the technique type had dozens of types, such as those corresponding to Blade Master, Sword Master, Close Combat Master, etc.

Su Xiao opening the 【High-tier Passive Skill Scroll Chest】 would indeed not open the high-tier passive corresponding to Blade Master. The problem was that except for this type, he had a probability of opening all other types of high-tier passives.

High-tier passives were all defaulted to the highest potential, so there was no need to obtain them through the 【High-tier Passive Skill Scroll Chest】.

Therefore, the 【High-tier Passive Skill Scroll Chest】 at 300 ounces of Space-Time Power per piece was more like gambling on luck. If opened well, opening a high-tier passive of the summoning system would be a huge profit. Opening a high-tier passive of the undead system would be a small profit. Opening a high-tier passive of the necromancy system would be a huge loss.

Interestingly, the reason why the high-tier passive of the summoning system was the most expensive was not because it was very strong. Assuming the strength of the undead system and the technique-type high-tier passive was 100, the strength of the summoning system high-tier passive was only about 20. After all, the former two were late-stage systems, and the high-tier passives were naturally strong.

The reason why the summoning system high-tier passive was expensive was that the ability users of this entire system needed a basic passive, rather than having dozens of types like the technique type.

Su Xiao searched on the stalls for a while and soon found several high-tier passive scrolls he liked. This was much easier than getting basic passive scrolls before. As long as the Soul Coins were sufficient, he didn't have to worry about not being able to buy high-tier passive ability scrolls that suited him.

【You have paid 182,000 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained Blood Sublimation · Life Soul (High-tier Passive).】

【Blood Sublimation · Life Soul: Lv. 1 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Hint: Master the blood-gas-type technique ability and upgrade it to Lv. 80 before you can master this ability.

Hint: Only after mastering more than seven "Basic Passive" abilities and upgrading them all to X, or higher than X, can you master this ability.

Hint: After mastering this ability, this ability will fit your "Blood Gun Master" ability.

Skill effect 1: Blood-gas attack power increased by 10%.

Hint: Only when the Blood Gun Master ability reaches the limit attack power bonus, making you obtain "Master's Breath (Passive)," can you obtain this bonus.

Skill effect 2: Maximum value of original vitality increased by 1%.

Hint: The maximum health of Absolute Strength tier can reach 3.5 million points. This increase will increase the upper limit of 3.5 million points.

Skill effect 3: Blood-gas-type potential tier +1.

Skill effect 4: Blood Gun Master upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be improved by any means).

Hint: This ability only takes effect for Blood Gun Master above Lv. 80.

Su Xiao liked "Blood Sublimation · Life Soul" very much. After the skill effect 4 improvement of this ability, each level of his Blood Gun Master improvement changed from "Blood-gas attack tier +2, Blood-gas strength +10 points" to "Blood-gas attack tier +3, Blood-gas strength +15 points."

Of course, the upgrade cost also reached 15 Soul Crystals + 142,500 Soul Coins per level.

"Blood Sublimation · Life Soul," besides being able to increase blood-gas damage, the increase in the maximum value of original vitality made Su Xiao feel quite interested. The 3.5 million health barrier of Absolute Strength tier seemed very far away, but his health had already reached 1.5 million points now. This upper limit was no longer far away.

Su Xiao was not a World-Extinguishing entity, nor was he Abyssal-type, so his health upper limit would not exceed 100%. Since the upper limit could not be higher, then improve the quality.

As for those big bosses causing a percentage of maximum health damage, for example, a big boss's skill caused 20% maximum health damage, it seemed to be able to cause up to 300,000 damage to Su Xiao, who had 1.5 million health. In fact, it was not.

Both sides of the attack and being attacked must perform a strength judgment. Simply put, this was like a sharp blade cutting on refined steel. Whoever was harder had the advantage.

This judgment was also the same. This kind of ability causing a percentage of maximum health damage seemed very strong, but any attack had its upper limit. This kind of attack was also the same. It seemed to cause 20% maximum health damage, but if Su Xiao's original vitality was strong enough, this attack hitting him, after layers of reduction, would not cause 20% maximum health damage. This kind of damage could not avoid defense.

What was truly terrifying was causing 20% maximum health true damage. That was terrifying. True damage meant that it caused as much damage as it said. The maximum damage judgment was not just for show.

Therefore, stacking health was very useful. For example, in the death battles with the Progenitor and the Scarlet Monarch before, both strong enemies had the same thought: this enemy, why hasn't he died yet?

Besides "Blood Sublimation · Life Soul," Su Xiao found another high-tier passive and bought it immediately.

【You have paid 185,000 Soul Coins.】

【You have obtained Body Sublimation · Ascension Power (High-tier Passive).】

【Body Sublimation · Ascension Power: Lv. 1 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Hint: Master the close-combat-type technique ability and upgrade it to Lv. 80 before you can master this ability.

Hint: Only after mastering more than seven "Basic Passive" abilities and upgrading them all to X, or higher than X, can you master this ability.

Hint: After mastering this ability, this ability will fit your "Close Combat Master" ability.

Skill effect 1: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 5%.

Skill effect 2: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 8%.

Skill effect 3: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 10%.

Hint: The above three bonuses, only when the Close Combat Master ability reaches the limit attack power bonus, making you obtain "Master's Power (Passive)," can you obtain this bonus.

Skill effect 4: Close Combat Master upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be improved by any means).

Hint: This ability only takes effect for Close Combat Master above Lv. 80.

"Body Sublimation · Ascension Power" had a very Close Combat Master style. All three bonuses were to increase kick power, which was completely different from the other two high-tier passives.

Su Xiao used the two high-tier passive skill scrolls in his hand, and a hint appeared.

【You have mastered Blood Sublimation · Life Soul: Lv. 1.】

【You have mastered Body Sublimation · Ascension Power: Lv. 1.】

After mastering the ability, naturally, he went to improve it. Su Xiao turned back to the teleportation tower, returned to Reincarnation Paradise, and went straight to the Skill Upgrade Hall.

Half an hour later, in the Skill Upgrade Hall, the chamber door behind Su Xiao closed. He activated the skill upgrade chamber he was in, checked his skill list, chose "Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme" from it, upgraded it with the skill upgrade chamber, and finally confirmed that he was wearing the 【Reincarnation · Glory Badge】.

"Reincarnation · Glory Badge: After wearing, the usage cost of the skill upgrade chamber is reduced by 20%."

【Upgrading Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme Lv. 21, requires consuming 24,000 Soul Coins.】

This was the price after the 【Reincarnation · Glory Badge】 reduction. Su Xiao looked at the existing 3 million+ Soul Coins, and his heart felt much more settled. He chose to upgrade Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme by 9 levels.

The skill upgrade chamber started. Su Xiao had upgraded his abilities many times, so his breath was exceptionally calm. He could feel an invisible energy surging from around him, merging into his body, causing one of his abilities to improve rapidly. This feeling was like using this ability thousands of times, plus having sufficient corresponding energy, so this ability improved rapidly.

【Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme has been upgraded to Lv. 30. If you need to continue to upgrade this ability, each level requires consuming 34,000 Soul Coins.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao felt a bit bad in his heart. The existing 3 million+ Soul Coins suddenly didn't seem as much as just now. But even if the upgrade cost of this ability was very expensive, it still had to be upgraded. The reason was that, except for Blade Master, if he wanted to continue to improve his combat power in blade technique, he could only rely on this ability.

What was a high-tier passive? That was, when various passive skill scrolls in the trading market all showed that this ability could not bring improvement to your current comprehensive combat power, high-tier passives could still continue to improve beyond the limit.

Su Xiao weighed it and simply upgraded "Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme" to Lv. 50. This required paying 780,000 Soul Coins, but there was no way. Stacking passives, the later it was, the stronger it was. Correspondingly, the later it was, the more expensive it was.

Two hours later, when the skill upgrade chamber stopped operating, Su Xiao's breath gradually stabilized.

【Technique Sublimation · Blade Supreme: Lv. 50 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Skill effect 1: Blade-type weapon attack power increased +530%.

Skill effect 2: Blade technique move power increased by 530%.

Skill effect 3: Blade technique potential tier +11 (increased 6).

Skill effect 4: Blade technique upgrade consumption +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be improved by any means).

Next was upgrading "Blood Sublimation · Life Soul." Su Xiao looked at the remaining Soul Coins and chose to upgrade this ability to Lv. 30. A total of 416,000 Soul Coins were paid. One hour later, the upgrade was complete.

【Blood Sublimation · Life Soul: Lv. 30 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Skill effect 1: Blood-gas attack power increased by 280%.

Skill effect 2: Maximum value of original vitality increased by 15%.

Hint: The maximum health of Absolute Strength tier can reach 3.5 million points. This increase will increase the upper limit of 3.5 million points.

Skill effect 3: Blood-gas-type potential tier +5 (increased 4).

Skill effect 4: Blood Gun Master upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be improved by any means).

After Su Xiao stabilized his breath for a while, he continued to upgrade his abilities. This time it was "Body Sublimation · Ascension Power," still upgrading to Lv. 30, and the cost was the same as the "Blood Sublimation · Life Soul" just now, totaling 416,000 Soul Coins paid.

The skill upgrade chamber started to operate. When the skill upgrade chamber stopped, Su Xiao was covered in hot sweat, and sweat vapor drifted slowly from his body.

【Body Sublimation · Ascension Power: Lv. 30 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Skill effect 1: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 90%.

Skill effect 2: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 150%.

Skill effect 3: When close combat, kick attack power increased by 240%.

Skill effect 4: Close Combat Master upgrade cost +50%, upgrade effect +50% (this characteristic cannot be improved by any means).

Opening the door of the skill upgrade chamber, Su Xiao walked out of the upgrade hall. Now that he had mastered the high-tier passives corresponding to blade technique, close combat, and blood gun, the upper limits of the three technique-type abilities were each increased by 50%. Even if he had to pay 50% more resources for this, it was worth it.

Especially Su Xiao's Blade Master ability, Blade Masters of the same level would definitely be beaten by him until they doubted their lives. His Blade Master not only had the blessing of high-tier passives but also invested 6 Original Skill Points into it.

Su Xiao had just advanced to Absolute Strength in the last world, so why could he fight head-on with a World-Extinguishing entity like the Progenitor? This, of course, could not avoid the powerful power of World Thunder, but his Blade Master, which exceeded the current level, was also key.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao found that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny were no longer there. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha went to the Attribute Enhancement Hall to use their follower advancement qualifications, and Benny was selling the items obtained this time at the Great Gathering Place.

The door closed automatically. Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the carpet by the coffee table and took out the existing 235 Soul Crystals.

【If you need to upgrade Blade Master Lv. 82, you need to consume Soul Crystal x15 + 142,500 Soul Coins.】

Su Xiao chose to upgrade Blade Master by 5 levels. The 70 Soul Crystals around him shattered, and a massive amount of soul energy surged toward him. 712,500 Soul Coins were consumed rapidly. In the later stages, technique abilities used the most Soul Coins, even surpassing high-tier passives by a large margin.

A roar seemed to appear in Su Xiao's ears, and the scene around him changed drastically. First was a rapid falling sensation, then it stopped abruptly. He stood in pitch darkness.

A long blade made of soul energy hung in the distance. Seeing this long blade, Su Xiao suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and a longing from the bottom of his heart. As long as he grasped this soul blade and absorbed the special energy within it, his Blade Master could get an unprecedented improvement, so he stepped forward.

But for some reason, after Su Xiao stepped forward, it was like stepping into a swamp, constantly sinking. He only walked a few steps before it was difficult to continue moving forward, and finally, he was gradually swallowed by the darkness. But because he was closer to this soul blade, he absorbed some of the special energy drifting from this soul blade.

The surrounding darkness gradually dissipated and dissolved. Su Xiao opened his eyes. He was still in the exclusive room, but after he raised his hand, a small amount of black liquid on the back of his right hand floated upward and finally dissolved into the air.

After upgrading several abilities in succession, Su Xiao had to slow down before upgrading Close Combat Master and Blood Gun Master. Besides, there weren't many Soul Coins left, so he had to wait for Benny to sell some items before he had enough to continue upgrading technique abilities.

Just then, Su Xiao suddenly received a message. After opening it, he saw it was from the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. A goblin merchant contacted him through the notarization of the Void Tree.

Goblin Merchant (Black Ear): "Mr. Bai Ye, are you selling Origin Potion?"

Bai Ye: "【Origin Potion · Perfect (Viewing permission temporarily opened)】, only selling Precipitated Glaze, make an offer."

Goblin Merchant (Black Ear): "12,000 per bottle, do you think this price is okay?"

Bai Ye: "40,000."

Goblin Merchant (Black Ear): "Mr. Bai Ye, this price is too high. I can offer at most 15,000. This is the limit."

Bai Ye: "Then we'll talk later."

Goblin Merchant (Black Ear): "Okay, Mr. Bai Ye, I hope to cooperate with you in the future."

Su Xiao ended this text-based contact. He sat on the single sofa, brewed a cup of maple tea, and waited leisurely for more than half an hour before the contact application appeared again.

Goblin Merchant (Black Ear): "Mr. Bai Ye, I offer 36,000. This is already the limit I can offer. You did make me lose the upper hand in this transaction. I have encountered this quality of Origin Potion for the first time, so one bottle of this quality Origin Potion, 36,000 Precipitated Glaze."

Bai Ye: "Deal."

After Su Xiao closed the communication, he opened the Abyssal Store to check 【Origin Fruit】.

【Origin Fruit】

Category:???

Inventory quantity:??? (Hunter's reputation is too low, cannot view).

Exchange price: 3,840 Precipitated Glaze (Original price 7,680 Precipitated Glaze).
