Chapter 192

Congratulations, the proficiency of Item Refining Technique has reached mastery, the speed of refining items has increased, and you can now refine Supernatural Fifth Rank items!

"Nice!"

"Proficiency finally reached mastery, it's exhausted me to the point of being pissed off."

Seeing the message pop up before him, Su Hao stopped his action, and a brilliant smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Watching the undead corpses inside the Storage Bag about to be fully refined, Su Hao had originally been worried that his proficiency might not reach mastery.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, such a pleasant surprise arrived.

Immediately, Su Hao's mind stirred, and he hurriedly took the Shadow Priest's corpse out of the Storage Bag and applied Item Refining Technique to it.

After busying himself for half a day, he finally raised the proficiency of Item Refining Technique to mastery—wasn't that exactly for this moment?

Even if Su Hao now relies solely on his own strength, he cannot be a match for a Supernatural Fifth Rank.

Even if the Dark Dragon Pearl is fully recharged again, as long as the opponent is not the Shadow Priest—who is tightly restrained by the Dark Dragon Pearl—Su Hao cannot gain any advantage against a Supernatural Fifth Rank.

Therefore, Su Hao is full of anticipation for the corpse of the Shadow Priest, a Supernatural Fifth Rank.

This should be the only Supernatural Fifth Rank that Su Hao personally participates in killing for a long time to come.

"Hiss—!"

"As expected of a Supernatural Fifth Rank corpse, this consumption is damn terrifying!"

Feeling the spiritual power rapidly draining from deep within his soul, Su Hao hurriedly took a large amount of fresh scarlet essence blood from the Storage Bag and without hesitation poured it into his mouth.

He clearly knows that relying solely on his own spiritual power limit, it is impossible to complete this refinement.

In just that short while, Su Hao's spiritual power had already been consumed by about half.

By contrast, the blood-red light on the Shadow Priest's corpse appeared only a small part, not even reaching one-tenth.

If there is not enough spiritual power replenishment, given Su Hao's current Supernatural Second Rank realm, with actual Supernatural Third Rank spiritual power, it is definitely impossible to complete the refinement of a Supernatural Fifth Rank corpse.

But fortunately, Su Hao usually uses Scarlet Touch to summon scarlet tentacles for refining scarlet essence blood when he has nothing to do.

Now his Storage Bag still contains a considerable amount of scarlet essence blood, which should be sufficient to complete the refinement of the Shadow Priest's corpse without major issues.

Normally, when Su Hao uses Item Refining Technique on an object, it basically takes just a turn of his thought to cover the object's surface with the refining blood-red light.

But this time, even with enough scarlet essence blood to replenish his spiritual power, it still took Su Hao about ten minutes to fully cover the Shadow Priest's corpse with the blood-red light, forming a blood-red light sphere.

Just using Item Refining Technique consumed that much time; let alone completing the refinement.

However, during the wait, Su Hao was not idle; he first spent over half an hour refining all the remaining undead corpses in the Storage Bag.

Afterwards, Su Hao stroked his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, considering how to use the remaining two synthesis opportunities today.

Before today's refinement of the harvest from Wangling Hai, Su Hao had few things on him that could keep up with his pace, causing him to miss yesterday's four synthesis opportunities, which he didn't overly regret.

But now, with a sudden abundance of good stuff, he needs to think carefully about how to synthesize them.

Currently, Su Hao believes there are three items with the highest synthesis value.

First, it is to synthesize three Second Rank Bone Essences into a Second Rank Withered Bone Essence.

Back when he was in the shelter, Su Hao had synthesized a First Rank Withered Bone Essence. It is a good thing that both increases bone hardness and enhances affinity for the bone element, and it matches Su Hao's Crimson Bone Demon supernatural sequence very well.

Moreover, after consuming a First Rank Withered Bone Essence, there is a certain chance to obtain a skill named Wither.

However, this probability is not high, so Su Hao has not yet used that First Rank Withered Bone Essence.

Originally he planned to synthesize two more First Rank Withered Bone Essences, then use three First Rank Withered Bone Essences to synthesize a Second Rank Withered Bone Essence before using it.

Now that he has Second Rank Bone Essence, he no longer needs to go through that trouble.

The second relatively valuable synthesis product is to synthesize Loathsome Essence Blood.

The Crimson Bone Demon sequence, like the Flesh Controller, has the effect of boosting spiritual power and physique by consuming fresh blood.

The higher the supernatural grade of the blood consumed, the better the blood's effect, and the greater the increase in spiritual power and physique.

Loathsome Essence Blood reaches Supernatural Fourth Rank.

Its effect is also quite good: it not only enhances physique and recovery ability, but also has a tiny chance to grant a passive skill of Accelerated Regeneration.

Recovery speed is one of the attributes Su Hao cares about most.

If in the future he can make his recovery speed exceed his injury speed, he could achieve true immortality.

Even before a wound appears, I'm already fully recovered—how could I die? Unfortunately, if he directly consumes Loathsome Essence Blood, the chance to obtain the Accelerated Regeneration skill is extremely low.

Therefore, Su Hao had the idea of synthesizing Loathsome Essence Blood first, then consuming it.

On one hand, it can increase the enhancement of physique and recovery ability; at the same time, the effect of the Crimson Bone Demon consuming essence blood will also be increased, constituting a double boost.

On the other hand, the chance to obtain the passive skill of Accelerated Regeneration will also become greater.

The third thing most worth synthesizing is Su Hao's existing possessions.

That is Third Rank Scarlet Essence Blood and the Scarlet Touch skill; as long as the Scarlet Essence Blood is synthesized to Fourth Rank, then it can be combined with Scarlet Touch.

According to past experience, the Scarlet Touch synthesized this way can reach Supernatural Fourth Rank.

Furthermore, by using Scarlet Touch, one can summon scarlet tentacles that continuously refine Fourth Rank Scarlet Essence Blood.

Only two syntheses are needed to obtain infinite Fourth Rank Scarlet Essence Blood.

At the same time, Scarlet Touch itself can be upgraded to Supernatural Fourth Rank, greatly increasing Su Hao's combat ability—undoubtedly the most cost-effective synthesis method.

Thinking this through, Su Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of synthesizing Second Rank Bone Essence and Loathsome Essence Blood.

Those two items are also suitable for long-term consumption.

Therefore, the best way to synthesize these two items should be like with Scarlet Essence Blood: find a suitable skill to combine with, allowing Su Hao to continually refine Withered Bone and essence blood over the long term.

As for Loathsome Essence Blood, it could be synthesized with Bloody Missile, but the Bloody Missile's supernatural grade is currently too low, so the resulting product would likely be unsatisfactory.

Withered Bone Essence lacks a suitable skill to combine with, so the synthesis of these two things should be set aside for now and discussed later.

Afterwards, Su Hao stopped thinking about it, took out three drops of Third Rank Scarlet Essence Blood according to his plan, and began the synthesis.
