Chapter 3791: Invitation

Regarding the choice between melee and ranged, Su Xiao did not hesitate for long before choosing melee.

【Notification: The ability 'King of Shadow Blades' has fully awakened.】

【King of Shadow Blades: Lv. 1 (Ultimate-level skill)】

Skill effect: Immediately consumes 30% of maximum mana to convert into Qing Gang Ying energy and electrifies it, instantly enveloping a 1000-meter diameter area centered on you, dealing 5000 points of true damage + 3% of maximum health in true damage, and is guaranteed to trigger the "Soul Electric Shock" effect, causing enemies to fall into a 0.2–3 second body paralysis state.

Note: If two enemies within this range are less than 5 meters apart, a lightning chain will be triggered. The lightning chain will bounce back and forth multiple times between the two enemy targets, each time dealing 5000 points of true damage + 3% of maximum health in true damage (dealing a maximum of 25000 points of true damage + 15% of maximum health in true damage to a single target).

Note: Your Blade Spirit can also serve as a target for lightning chain bouncing, bouncing with enemies, and dealing double the lightning chain bounce damage to enemies (totaling 50000 points of true damage + 30% of maximum health in true damage).

Note: The cooldown for this ability is 10 natural days. If released at an interval shorter than this, it will place a huge burden on your body, leading to a permanent reduction in your stamina attribute.

High damage + crowd control, combined with the speed of instant release, and more importantly, the development potential—the lightning chain formed by Qing Gang Ying energy looks promising no matter how you look at it.

And this is only the strength of King of Shadow Blades at Lv. 1. Su Xiao currently has 82 Law-Extinguishing skill points. As for whether to use Golden Skill Points to upgrade it later, he won't consider that for now; using Law-Extinguishing skill points to upgrade this ultimate move of the Law-Extinguishing system is a better fit. Before this ability was fully awakened, it didn't matter, but now that this ultimate move is fully awakened, he must be cautious about upgrading it.

With King of Shadow Blades requiring 3 points per level, Su Xiao chooses to upgrade it by 20 levels. The remaining 22 Law-Extinguishing skill points will be used to upgrade the Qing Gang Ying ability by 22 levels.

When the ability upgrade ended, Su Xiao felt as if he had been washed in water; it wasn't a full-body pain, but rather blue electric arcs surging throughout his body. This feeling was very much like using it to temper himself. Presumably, once the King of Shadow Blades ability level is high enough, there will be other benefits. He checked the upgraded King of Shadow Blades ability.

【King of Shadow Blades: Lv. 21 (Ultimate-level skill)】

Skill effect (Active): Immediately consumes 30% of maximum mana to convert into Qing Gang Ying energy and electrifies it, instantly enveloping a 3000-meter diameter area centered on you, dealing 25000 points of true damage + 4% of maximum health in true damage, and is guaranteed to trigger the "Soul Electric Shock" effect, causing enemies to fall into a 0.2–3 second body paralysis state.

Note: If two enemies within this range are less than 5 meters apart, a lightning chain will be triggered. The lightning chain will bounce back and forth multiple times between the two enemy targets, each time dealing 25000 points of true damage + 4% of maximum health in true damage (dealing a maximum of 125000 points of true damage + 20% of maximum health in true damage to a single target).

Note: Your Blade Spirit can also serve as a target for lightning chain bouncing, bouncing with enemies, and dealing double the lightning chain bounce damage to enemies (totaling 250000 points of true damage + 40% of maximum health in true damage).

Each level of King of Shadow Blades increases true damage by 1000 points. At first glance, this doesn't seem like much, but once the lightning chain of King of Shadow Blades starts bouncing, the damage becomes outrageous.

More importantly, this is only the strength of King of Shadow Blades at Lv. 21. If its level reaches Lv. 50 or higher, the strength will be even more astonishing.

Su Xiao raised his right hand, and with a crackle, blue electric arcs appeared in his hand, gradually fading under his control. He had a feeling that if he were besieged by a large group of elite enemies, he only needed to use this ability, and the constantly bouncing lightning chains would instantly kill a large swath of strong enemies.

After upgrading the King of Shadow Blades ability, Su Xiao used the remaining 22 Law-Extinguishing skill points to upgrade Qing Gang Ying. At this stage, there were no abilities on the Awakening Stele worth mastering with Law-Extinguishing skill points. Moreover, in these two world progressions, he had mastered several Law-Extinguishing skills in succession; he would first master the abilities he had already acquired before considering others.

【Qing Gang Ying ability has been upgraded to Lv. 84.】

【Qing Gang Ying: Lv. 84 (Active/Passive skill)】

Usage condition: Consumes 720 mana per minute after activating Qing Gang Ying.

Active effect: Each melee attack will burn 2280 mana from the enemy (increased by 300 points) and deal 1.8 times the burned mana in true damage (base 4104 true damage + 30% from Zhan Long Shan + 30% from King of Shadow Blades + 40% from Swift Shadow = 8208 true damage). The enemy will suffer intense pain after the mana burn.

Defensive form: Proud Song (Active), can generate crystals of any shape to defend against enemy attacks. Crystal strength is directly proportional to the mana consumed. The single mana consumption limit is 10500 points (increased by 1000 points), and the crystal layer defense tier is +7 (increased by 2).

Combat form: Shock Blast (Active), immediately consumes 20% of maximum mana, causing a Qing Gang Ying energy shock blast effect centered on you, causing all enemies within 1500 meters to enter a body energy disorder state, thereby entering a "Silence" state where they cannot use active skills for the next 7 seconds.

Note: The cooldown for this ability is 6 hours.

The Qing Gang Ying ability is very important; not only does it add high true damage to normal slashes, but the King of Shadow Blades ability has such strength entirely because Qing Gang Ying energy serves as its foundation. Simply put, King of Shadow Blades is the advanced ultimate move of the Qing Gang Ying ability.

After upgrading the Qing Gang Ying ability, Su Xiao took out a "First Generation Finger Bone." In the past, using this item could increase the upper limit of the Qing Gang Ying ability. Although this would lower the level of the Qing Gang Ying ability, the current strength would not decrease in the slightest. However, after the last time he used the "First Generation Finger Bone," the Qing Gang Ying ability had reached its limit.

【You have used the First Generation Finger Bone.】

【Your maximum mana has permanently increased by 4500 points.】

Su Xiao checked his current mana, which had reached 107048 points. Combined with his four main attributes nearing 500 points and various other abilities, this was already a proper boss template.

Su Xiao checked his skill list. The "Blade Soul" ability he had mastered long ago had reached its limit, which was Lv. 80. This ability was quite good; as long as the level of Sword Mastery increased, the level of this ability would follow. Unfortunately, the upper limit was a bit low, only reaching Lv. 80.

This ability mainly provides a medium increase to the attack power of blade-type weapons, as well as increasing willpower and perception. The characteristics derived after reaching Lv. 80 increased Su Xiao's perception capture speed by one-fifth, which was quite good.

Su Xiao took out the three 【Awakening Stones】 he had. He hadn't used this ability to upgrade Law-Extinguishing skills before, not because he didn't want to become stronger, but because he felt that before his body attributes reached a certain level, deeply awakening several Law-Extinguishing abilities carried too high a probability of sudden death. Now, that was no longer a problem.

Su Xiao prepared to first deeply awaken the "Undying Constitution" ability. This ability could, after his health dropped below 50%, massively increase his body defense based on the sum of his true strength, agility, stamina, and intelligence attributes multiplied by 0.5.

Calculated this way, it could increase his body defense by 976 points, which was simply invincible. In reality, every ability has a limit, and Law-Extinguishing abilities are no exception, so the upper limit for this ability to increase body defense is 700 points; this is the limit bonus at the current stage.

The four 【Awakening Stones】 floated in front of him. Su Xiao grasped one with one hand, took a deep breath, and crushed the 【Awakening Stone】. A surge of energy poured into his body. The next second, Su Xiao was sent into dreamland for the third time today.

Two hours later, Su Xiao sat up and gently rubbed his brow with one hand. The quality of sleep today was just too good. He glanced at the three 【Awakening Stones】 floating in front of him, then checked the "Undying Constitution" ability.

【Undying Constitution, X (Passive)】

Skill effect: When your health drops to 50%, your body defense will be "massively" increased based on your true strength, true agility, true stamina, and true intelligence attributes.

The increase is: (True Strength + True Agility + True Stamina + True Intelligence) sum × 0.5 (maximum increase of 800 points of body defense, limit bonus reached).

The ability upgrade hadn't ended yet. Su Xiao grasped another 【Awakening Stone】 again; this time it was to upgrade "Adaptation Power." As he crushed the 【Awakening Stone】, a dark blue energy seeped into his body. He kept his eyes closed, veins bulged on his neck, and the skin all over his body began to turn red, even oozing blood beads. An hour later, he let out a long breath. This time he wasn't sent into dreamland but experienced the entire process of the "Adaptation Power" upgrade while awake.

【Adaptation Power, X (Passive)】

Skill effect: Based on enemy characteristics, increases 30–50 points of non-reducible true resistance!

Note: "True resistance" possesses absolute priority; enemies cannot reduce this resistance through any means.

After upgrading "Adaptation Power," two Awakening Stones remained. Su Xiao grasped one of them; this time it was to deeply awaken the "Slaughter Shadow" ability. The ability to form crystal arms mainly relied on this ability, so of course, he had to upgrade it.

As the awakening began, Su Xiao felt the cells all over his body seem to ache to the point of stillness, and this feeling was persistent, lasting for over an hour before subsiding. He let out a long breath and checked the "Slaughter Shadow" ability, only to find that this ability was in an unviewable, awaiting-awakening stage, as if one Awakening Stone wasn't enough to fully awaken this ability.

Su Xiao calmed his breath for a while and chose to grasp the last Awakening Stone. This Awakening Stone sent him into dreamland the next second.

Three hours later, Su Xiao sat up on the bed. The quality of sleep today was really just too good. He checked the upgraded "Slaughter Shadow" and found that this ability had changed to:

【Combat Prosthetic X (Passive)】

Skill effect 1: Increases Proud Song state strength by 360%, crystal composition and attachment speed increased by 45%, crystal stability significantly improved.

Skill effect 2: If upper or lower limbs are missing (both arms and both legs), combat prosthetics can be quickly formed through Proud Song crystals to replace the missing limb functions. Combat prosthetics can stably exist for 10 natural days.

Combat prosthetic strength: 55% restoration.

Combat prosthetic speed: 48% restoration.

Combat prosthetic touch: 18% restoration.

Combat prosthetic nervous system: 12% restoration.

Note: During the existence of combat prosthetics, the current maximum mana is reduced by 10%–20% (depending on the number of combat prosthetics formed). The reduced maximum mana is used to stabilize and maintain the combat prosthetics. When the combat prosthetics are removed, the reduced maximum mana will be immediately restored, but the equivalent amount of mana will not be restored.

These two Awakening Stones were well worth it. The enemies Su Xiao encountered in mission worlds were getting stronger and stronger. Having an arm severed or a leg severely injured in battle was a common occurrence. He had previously used crystal arms or crystal legs as replacements, but after all, without a stable ability system, upgrades in this area could only be developed bit by bit, with very low efficiency.

Now that he finally had an ability in this area, the "Combat Prosthetic" ability not only upgraded Proud Song crystals but could also directly upgrade crystal arms and crystal legs. As for the restoration ratio of the combat prosthetic's strength and speed, that was easy to understand; it was calculated based on his current limb strength.

The strength of the combat prosthetic left arm was just over half of the original left arm, the agility was only 48% of the original arm, and the touch and nervous system were even worse, not even one-fifth of the original left arm. However, this was normal; after all, combat prosthetics were used to compensate for limb loss and were not qualified to replace original arms. But in life-or-death battles, having a substitute was quite good.

The "Combat Prosthetic" ability could be upgraded. From X to X, it could be upgraded using Golden Skill Points. Su Xiao didn't have much else right now, but he had a lot of Golden Skill Points.

Su Xiao chose to upgrade the "Combat Prosthetic" ability with 7 Golden Skill Points. Under normal circumstances, for an X ability, it only takes 6–7 Golden Skill Points for its level to reach the X cap. But this time, after adding 7 Golden Skill Points, "Combat Prosthetic" did not upgrade to X.

Discovering this, Su Xiao didn't feel bad about the Golden Skill Points. No matter how many Golden Skill Points this ability swallowed, he was willing to invest them. Therefore, he began to add points continuously. Perhaps because he was the creator, he added a full 30 Golden Skill Points before the "Combat Prosthetic" ability upgraded from X to X.

【Combat Prosthetic X (Passive · Limit Awakening State)】

Skill effect 1: Increases Proud Song state strength by 820%, crystal composition and attachment speed increased by 92%, crystal stability significantly improved.

Skill effect 2: If upper or lower limbs are missing (both arms and both legs), combat prosthetics can be quickly formed through Proud Song crystals to replace the missing limb functions. Combat prosthetics can stably exist for 38000 natural days.

Combat prosthetic strength: 95% restoration.

Combat prosthetic speed: 93% restoration.

Combat prosthetic touch: 90% restoration.

Combat prosthetic nervous system: 85% restoration.

Note: During the existence of combat prosthetics, the current maximum mana is reduced by 5%–10% (depending on the number of combat prosthetics formed). The reduced maximum mana is used to stabilize and maintain the combat prosthetics. When the combat prosthetics are removed, the reduced maximum mana will be immediately restored, but the equivalent amount of mana will not be restored.

Although it still couldn't keep up with the original arms, as a substitute, this was already quite top-tier. Its strength could be seen from its existence time.

The ability upgrade didn't end there. Su Xiao invested all the remaining Golden Skill Points into the Soul-Severing Shadow ability. A surge of energy converted from Golden Skill Points began to nourish the Soul-Severing Shadow ability. This process lasted for over an hour before ending.

【Soul-Severing Shadow: X (Active)】

Existing Soul Cores: Qing Gang, Swift, Soul Severing, Blade Spirit, Falling Thunder, Darkness.

Total Soul Core slots: 6/12 (6 Soul Core slots occupied)...

The number of Soul Core slots had reached its limit. At this stage, Su Xiao wasn't prepared to choose two or three Soul Cores for specialized development but rather to master as many Soul Cores as possible to deal with various situations. He would consider specialized development of Soul Cores after ascending to the Supreme level.

Su Xiao got up and went to the planting area, sat under the Black Maple Tree, and brewed a pot of maple tea with Eternal Spring Water. Just then, the contact list of the Samsara Brand flickered. After checking, Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja go out to receive the guest. A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Crystal Ji walked into the planting area.

Crystal Ji hung her feather garment on the coat rack and sat down at the tea table. It could be seen that her complexion was a bit pale, and the light in her eyes was dim, yet she still maintained an appearance of being fine and not wanting others to worry about her.

"So, Alisa is injured again?"

Su Xiao spoke. The one who should be coming to deliver Soul Coins is Alisa, also known as Boiling Red, but whether it was last time or this time, it was Crystal Ji who came.

"Yeah, she's badly injured, but she's also lucky. At least someone cares about her, unlike me, who comes to see you even when injured."

After Crystal Ji finished speaking, she sighed with a breath as fragrant as orchids. She picked up the maple tea and took a light sip. Although she felt refreshed throughout her body, she still had to maintain a melancholic and elegant demeanor.

"So, is this why you provoked Black A and injured Boiling Red? Afterward, you even paid out of your own pocket, giving Boiling Red a large sum of Soul Coins so she could rest well and not hold a grudge against her brother Black A, right?"

"Cough~"

Crystal Ji choked with a light cough. But who is she? The melancholic, elegant, sentimental, and pitiful Crystal Ji. She dodged her gaze slightly and argued: "I was just worried about her health. She was already injured and still had to come to deliver Soul Coins. And it wasn't me who provoked it. Who knew Black A was so impulsive? I just advised him a few words, and he attacked."

Hearing this, Baja on the side raised a wing. It wanted to say a few words, but didn't know what to say. It could be said that the only one who could make the Key Mastery Master Baja not know what to say was Crystal Ji.

Crystal Ji, with her disaster-level beauty, glanced at Su Xiao and felt that she couldn't argue her way out of this, so she changed her strategy and said:

"My world is full of you, yet you are unwilling to look at me more, sigh~"

Crystal Ji took a melancholic sip of tea, looking pitiful.

"..."

Su Xiao gently rubbed his brow with one hand and didn't speak. Baja on the side scratched its head with its wing. It was particularly confused and really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Crystal Ji on the opposite side, although still looking pitiful, secretly smiled in her eyes. She finally dealt with this matter. She knew that once the man opposite her started investigating some things in the Painting World, she would be in trouble.

"By the way, there's a serious matter I need to tell you."

Crystal Ji's eyes showed seriousness, but then she hesitated to speak.

"Speak if you have something to say."

"Alright, didn't we go to the Painting World this time? The Sea God Temple there had some conflicts with us, so I had to use some means to protect myself. As a result, the high-level officials of the Sea God Temple weren't united, they... um~, had conflicts with each other. Because of this, the Sea God Temple seems to be on the verge of destruction. This doesn't matter, right?"

Crystal Ji's words were a typical case of saying only the good parts. Literally translated, it meant the mining team had a conflict with the Sea God Temple in the Painting World, and then Crystal Ji didn't know how she joined the Sea God Temple and sowed discord within this faction, causing the high-level officials of this faction to suspect and oppose each other, eventually leading to a chaotic battle. And as one of the strongest factions in the Painting World, once the Sea God Temple started fighting, other worlds couldn't stay out of it either.

Don't look at Crystal Ji's weak and melancholic appearance in front of Su Xiao; her danger level was sometimes not below Black A's. However, unlike Black A, this rebellious son, Crystal Ji's loyalty to Su Xiao was relatively high, reaching 92 points out of a maximum of 100. And Boiling Red, this daughter, was at least 99 points.

"It's fine, just don't go provoke the Sun God Sect."

"Why?"

"They won't give you a chance to speak."

"Um, I understand."

Crystal Ji answered with rare seriousness. She was indeed afraid of this point. If the other side didn't give her a chance to speak, her high true charm attribute would be useless.

Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang go to the alchemy laboratory. After a while, Xiang Bubu brought back an exquisite wooden box and placed it beside Su Xiao. He put it on the table, opened it, and pushed it forward. Inside were more than ten types of permanent buff potions, which made Crystal Ji's thin lips curl into a beautiful arc.

"These, are they really for me? Can I take them all?"

Crystal Ji spoke with a tone of slight panic and loss. Seeing this, Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. Crystal Ji on the opposite side immediately returned to normal and put away the exquisite wooden box. She knew that if she continued to maintain this pitiful state, she would be dealt with. However, she grasped the scale well and said:

"The total value of this mining output is 380,000 Soul Coins. I let the Shadow Chamber of Commerce sell it in the form of an auction, earning a total of 470,000 Soul Coins. After deducting the 10% share for Alisa and the others, 423,000 Soul Coins remain. It's all here."

Crystal Ji put down the Soul Coin savings card, pushed it to Su Xiao's front with one hand, and then sat respectfully. When dealing with serious matters, Crystal Ji had a good sense of proportion.

Su Xiao divided this Soul Coin savings card into four parts: 20% for Caesar, 10% for the Toad, and 10% for the Violent Rat, all sent via mail.

Su Xiao earned 235,000 Soul Coins, which was 50% of the total revenue this time. This was the agreed-upon share ratio. He never had the habit of eating alone. Eating alone is fun for a moment, but it means no next meal. Conversely, if everyone profits, the mining team can be maintained well.

As for Crystal Ji's share, as the Princess of the Northern Territory who held shares in the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, she didn't care about this share. She cared about whether it was interesting and, while being interesting, having a backer. And Su Xiao was her backer.

After Crystal Ji left, Su Xiao contacted the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. Shadow No. 6 promised to gather 7 Origin-level long blades within two days. In fact, Shadow No. 6 didn't take that long; only 20-plus hours passed before they gathered the 7 Origin-level weapons.

A total of 5 full-score Origin-level long blades and 2 Origin-level long blades with scores above 2900 points. This was slightly higher than the original price, totaling 700,000 Soul Coins, with a discount of 10,000 Soul Coins.

Su Xiao transferred 700,000 Soul Coins to Benny. Benny, located at the Great Gathering Place, completed the transaction with Shadow No. 6, and then the 7 Origin-level long blades were all stored in the team storage space.

The 7 Immortal-level weapons opened from the "Weapon Box" just now were also sold by Benny. Counting these Soul Coins, Su Xiao currently had 116,000 Soul Coins, but after deducting the cost of manufacturing 3 "Sun Holy Swords" and the expenditure for over 100 bottles of "Vitality Stock Solution," only 16,000 Soul Coins remained.

When he first returned to the Samsara Paradise, Su Xiao was carrying a huge sum of over 3 million Soul Coins, but now, the Soul Coins were about to be spent. The feeling that no matter how many Soul Coins you have, it's not enough had returned. Brother Hen and Solomon were also particularly familiar with this feeling.

Su Xiao drew Zhan Long Shan from its sheath, placed it on the wooden table, and laid out the twelve Origin-level long blades, including 【Dragon Slayer】 and 【Soul Severing】, in order. He activated the Supreme Blade ability, and black iron sand-like material emerged, enveloping the twelve long blades, including 【Dragon Slayer】.

Accompanied by the sound of clicking friction, a wisp of crystal-clear crystal fragments spread out from the black iron sand. This was the origin of the twelve Origin-level weapons, all of which were now being absorbed by Zhan Long Shan.

Zhan Long Shan's blade value continued to increase, not stopping even at 100%, and finally reached 120%, which was its limit. Zhan Long Shan's attributes became unviewable, and the upgrade began.

Su Xiao went to the alchemy laboratory and began manufacturing the "Sun Holy Sword" and recovery potions to prepare for the next world progression. After completing all this, he took out 【Blood Feather】, as well as the 【Scarlet Amplifier】 and 【Blood Fragment · Unique】 obtained in the Eternal Light World this time. These two items had a high degree of compatibility with Blood Feather.

Su Xiao picked up the 【Blood Fragment (Unique)】, which was obtained from killing the Scarlet Monarch. One could imagine its high tier. He touched Blood Feather with this blood fragment, and with a hum, a blood-colored wave spread out.

【Yes/No to use Blood Fragment · Unique to upgrade the Overlord Equipment · Blood Feather? This compatibility exceeds 95%, the upgrade is guaranteed to succeed, and it will bring a super-large upgrade to Blood Feather.】

Su Xiao weighed it. Although Blood Feather's attributes were good, he hadn't used it for several worlds, so it really should be enhanced. Plus, Blood Feather was equipment that could only be used with negative charm, making it worth investing resources in.

After choosing to upgrade Blood Feather, Su Xiao took out 【Origin Stone · World】. This Origin Stone was covered with a layer of faint light, and the cracks inside were already very faint. It seemed it wouldn't take long to complete the fusion and restore this Origin Stone to completeness.

【Zhan Long Shan has ascended to Eternal-level.】

【Zhan Long Shan】

Origin: Shadow of Law-Extinguishing.

Quality: Eternal-level.

Category: Long blade.

Durability: 940/940 points (increased by 150 points).

Attack power: 806–933 (increased by 90–95 points).

Equipment requirement: Shadow of Law-Extinguishing.

Basic bonus: True damage caused by Qing Gang Ying energy increased by 30%.

Supreme Blade effect 1: Sharpness +1562 points (increased by 500 points).

Supreme Blade effect 2: Magic Blade (Core · Active), after activating the Blade Spirit, when attacking an enemy unit with less than 30% "total health" with this weapon, you can execute this unit.

Note: After successfully executing an enemy, the Blade Spirit will enter a dormant stage.

Current Blade Spirit strength: 410 points.

Inlay effect: 0/3 slots.

Score: 6950 points (this weapon's score is 3000–10500 points).

Introduction: Slay gods and evil, sever souls and slaughter demons, seal demons in the blade, slash all that is immortal and indestructible!

Zhan Long Shan's score surprised Su Xiao, but he then thought of the previous times when he used the Blade Spirit to devour the origin of the Immortal Characteristic · Abyss Nourisher, which brought bonuses to Zhan Long Shan. The notifications at that time were:

【The quality limit Zhan Long Shan can reach is permanently increased by 5% (including Supreme Blade bonus, total increase of 65%).】

【The quality limit Zhan Long Shan can reach is permanently increased by 10% (including Supreme Blade bonus, total increase of 75%).】

Looking at it now, this bonus took effect at the Eternal level, which gave Zhan Long Shan a score limit of 10500 points.

If he were to use the Blade Spirit to devour the origin of the Immortal Characteristic · Abyss Nourisher a few more times, would the quality limit Zhan Long Shan can reach reach 100%? If so, Zhan Long Shan's score limit would reach 12000 points. In that case, what kind of changes would Zhan Long Shan's quality undergo?

At this stage, the score limit was high enough, but Zhan Long Shan's current score was 6950 points. As for how to increase this score, the method was clear: use the Supreme Blade ability to let Zhan Long Shan devour enough Eternal-level blade weapons.

Actually, devouring sword-type weapons also works, but the score increase is far less than devouring blade-type weapons of the same quality. Therefore, even if you obtain Eternal-level sword-type weapons in the future, it's best to sell them and use the proceeds to acquire a blade-type weapon, as this is more cost-effective.

After Zhan Long Shan ascended to the Eternal level, there was no longer any talk of gaining blade value by devouring weapons of the same quality. The current Zhan Long Shan is more powerful and more straightforward, becoming stronger by directly devouring weapons of the same quality. As for how many long blades of the same quality are needed to reach the full score at the current stage, that is unclear, but it shouldn't be a small number.

The upgrade costs for the three technique masters, the three high-level passives corresponding to the three technique masters, and the Zhan Long Shan that ascended to the Eternal level—these were all huge expenses. Su Xiao, who had just felt wealthy, suddenly felt that neither Soul Coins nor Space-Time Power were enough.

For now, he wouldn't consider these. The banquet at the Gluttony Castle was about to begin. It was time to use the two 【Banquet Invitations】 he had obtained to attend this banquet with Xia.

At this banquet, besides enjoying delicacies and tasting the finale dish, one could also use it to strengthen one's own origin power. Simply put, it was equivalent to a 1% increase in the "Origin Potion."

For others, this was a rare opportunity, but for Su Xiao, it was even more important because there were actually very few ways to improve the origin. The origin potion prepared when the potion level reached the peak was one, and the finale delicacy of the Gluttony Castle owner was another. Although the improvement from this delicacy was far less than that of the origin potion, the benefit was that this type of delicacy improvement could be done multiple times.

Presumably, the materials used for this delicacy must be extremely rare. These types of materials generally cannot be exchanged with Samsara Brand permissions; most of what can be exchanged with permissions are general materials.

Regarding this, Su Xiao was not worried. Although the Goblin Chamber of Commerce was greedy, as a "Lifetime Platinum VIP" of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, as long as the money was sufficient, the Goblin Chamber of Commerce would definitely be able to solve this problem.

At the moment, the improvement Su Xiao could achieve through the "Origin Potion" had reached its absolute limit. Now, the only known means to improve origin power was this type of delicacy from the Gluttony Castle. Although the improvement brought by tasting this delicacy once was small, it could bring multiple improvements through multiple enjoyments. Although there was still a limit, the limit was roughly half of the total improvement of the "Origin Potion," which was very considerable.

This was also why the owner of the Gluttony Castle would release 【Banquet Invitations】. This was to whet appetites. Once the diners experienced the beauty of improving their own origin, the next time they wanted to taste this delicacy, they would be heavily fleeced. The other party's greed was well-known.

The owner of the Gluttony Castle could live safely to this day entirely due to the identity of being an honored guest of the Arcane Eternal Star. This was also why Su Xiao opened the 【Magic Soul Treasure Chest】 obtained from killing Dean Guya and opened two 【Banquet Invitations】. Every time the owner of the Gluttony Castle held a banquet, he would give the Arcane Eternal Star a few 【Banquet Invitations】 for free.

These intelligence reports were all spoken by the irritable little sprite Diagu. Although this guy had a body full of shortcomings, he was very credible in terms of intelligence, and Diagu also knew a lot of hidden information.

Regarding whether he would be ambushed by the Arcane Eternal Star when going to the Gluttony Castle this time, there was no need to worry about that. The Nether Land where the Gluttony Castle was located was a neutral area, notarized by the Tree of the Void. Under the notarization of the Tree of the Void, no one could use force or attempt to harm others there.

Attending the banquet with Xia this time was particularly important. Su Xiao needed to eat this kind of delicacy frequently, and Xia really wanted to master the cooking method of this delicacy. Their goals were consistent, and it just so happened that there were two 【Banquet Invitations】. ===== CHAPTER 3792 =====
