Chapter 56: Increased Proficiency, Further Understanding of Item Refining Technique

【Dual-layer Thought Nerve】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: After consumption, there is a chance to increase one's thought speed, raise the speed of casting magic, but it may also generate a second personality.

……

「This thing isn't bad, but it needs to be synthesized first; I don't want my brain to suddenly have another person pop out. 」

Su Hao nodded and put this nerve away as well.

An item that can increase casting speed is naturally a good thing, but letting oneself gain another personality is a loss.

So, this thing will definitely be used, but it needs to be synthesized first before Su Hao can use it with peace of mind.

If suitable materials can be found, perhaps one can be synthesized, allowing Su Hao, like a Double-headed Stitching Monster, to simultaneously cast two kinds of magic supernatural items!

Su Hao scanned his surroundings and then walked downstairs.

Upon reaching the second floor, seeing more than ten Wolf-headed Stitching Monster corpses on the ground, Su Hao first checked his own condition.

After confirming his mental energy was still abundant, Su Hao decided to refine all these corpses right here.

"Huh?"

Just as Su Hao finished using the Item Refining Technique on the eighth corpse, a message suddenly popped up before his eyes.

【Congratulations, your proficiency in Item Refining Technique has risen to Expert, the speed of refining items has increased, and you can now refine Third Tier supernatural items!】

……

"Oh ho! There's an unexpected gain!"

Su Hao first blinked slightly, then raised his eyebrows, showing a look of surprise and joy on his face.

After the proficiency of Item Refining Technique increased, the speed of refining Wolf-headed Stitching Monsters saw a noticeable improvement; in a short while, he finished refining all the Wolf-headed Stitching Monsters on the second floor.

On the ground appeared strands of dark red suturing threads, wisps of silver-white fur, beating hearts, and—

pools of bright red blood!

"Huh? I remember that the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster on the first floor didn't yield this blood."

Looking at the pools of blood on the ground, Su Hao furrowed his brow slightly.

According to Su Hao's experience using the Item Refining Technique these days, for the same kind of monster, the obtainable items are the same, only differing in quantity.

Su Hao clearly remembers that the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster on the first floor, after refining, did not yield this blood.

But the more than ten Wolf-headed Stitching Monsters on the second floor all yielded a pool of bright red blood, which is clearly abnormal.

"Let's first see what this blood is!"

Su Hao pinched his chin and used the Item Appraisal Technique on the nearest pool of blood.

【Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: The essence blood of the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's whole body; when a First Rank supernatural being consumes it, there is a certain chance to slightly enhance physique and spirit, with no side effects.

……

"Ah? This is also essence blood?!"

Looking at the information displayed by the appraisal result, Su Hao felt greatly surprised.

Just like the Double-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood, the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood is also uncontaminated and produces no side effects after use.

At the same time, the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood also has the function of enhancing physique and spirit.

However, the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood's effect of enhancing physique and spirit is not 100%; it has a certain chance, and its use is limited to First Rank beings.

Moreover, compared to the Double-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood, the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood's effect is obviously much worse.

But the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's Essence Blood is huge in quantity!

Each Wolf-headed Stitching Monster corpse can yield a pool of essence blood, about two hundred milliliters.

Adding them up totals nearly three thousand milliliters of essence blood, which is over ten times that of the Double-headed Stitching Monster.

Even if Su Hao's luck is at its worst, consuming all these three thousand plus milliliters of essence blood should still noticeably boost his physique and spirit.

Even if, after consuming all this essence blood, his physique and spirit see no improvement, these three thousand plus milliliters of essence blood are still extremely precious to Su Hao.

Frankly speaking, three thousand plus milliliters of pure essence blood is equivalent to several lives!

Moreover, Su Hao still has the Synthesis Heart in hand; when he has more free time later, he can also synthesize this essence blood.

After synthesis, the essence blood's effect of enhancing physique and spirit might become 100% from a certain chance, and the usage limit might also be increased to Second Rank, who knows!

But……

"Why didn't the one on the first floor yield any essence blood?"

Su Hao furrowed his brows, deep in puzzlement.

"Could it be that……"

"Is it because the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster on the first floor, which I burned dry of all blood with the Blood Flame Technique, thus cannot yield essence blood?"

After much thought, Su Hao felt this possibility was relatively high.

Because the only difference between the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster corpses on the first and second floors is the blood inside their bodies.

Since being ambushed by that Wolf-headed Stitching Monster and having his head cut off, Su Hao showed no mercy, directly burning dry all of the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster's bodily blood, not a drop left.

Whereas these Wolf-headed Stitching Monsters on the second floor were all slain by the Giant Panda, their bodies still retain a large amount of fresh blood.

Comparing the two, Su Hao thinks it's likely because the Wolf-headed Stitching Monster corpses lack blood, equating to no raw material, thus unable to yield essence blood.

Previously, when Su Hao used the Blood Flame Technique, he had never done it this thoroughly.

After enemies were completely dead, Su Hao would also proactively stop the Blood Flame Technique, so the enemies' bodies still retained a small amount of blood, making this effect not very noticeable to him.

Now thinking carefully, any monster killed by the Blood Flame Technique yields contaminated blood in lesser quantity.

Thus, the premise for Item Refining Technique to yield what materials is that there must be corresponding raw materials; the amount that can be refined is closely related to the amount of raw materials.

"Looks like the Blood Flame Technique will have to be used with restraint from now on..."

"Su Hao nodded thoughtfully, picking up all the sutures and hairs on the ground."

"Then he took out several bottles, using the blood-controlling effect of the Blood Flame Technique to gather all the essence blood on the ground."

"After gathering everything, Su Hao headed toward the passage on the second floor."

"But after walking about halfway, he glanced at the stones on the wall, suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he slapped his own head."

"\"Ah! I'm still too careless. If I just left like that, Grandfather Andrew would surely be disappointed! \"

"Su Hao hurriedly turned around, bringing the giant panda back to the third floor, heading toward the toilet opposite the master bedroom."

"Since the furnishings in the master bedroom are all second-tier extraordinary items, then the toilet that matches the master bedroom—would its toilet, washbasin, and the like also have some special function?"
