Chapter 75: Growth-Type Magic Book, you truly are my good brother!

Hah—!

After storing the dark gas hovering above the altar into his storage bag, Su Hao finally exhaled, and a smile appeared on his face.

Wraith good brother, rest easy and go; I will surely make good use of your corpse!

The crystal at the center of this gas mass is very likely the Wraith's Soul Crystal.

However, to be safe, Su Hao still decided that after returning to the shelter, he would refine this mass of gas together with that crystal.

And now, of course, it's time to happily dismantle…

Cough cough, not dismantling, but a happy and pleasant exploration journey!

This is the room where the boss is; logically, the best things in the entire underground tomb should be in here.

Soon, Su Hao noticed a chair not far away, lying on the ground.

This is a chair made of dark red wood; Su Hao's axe, and even the altar itself, had been split into various-sized fragments.

Yet this chair placed on the altar showed no damage at all, which is clearly abnormal.

Looks like this is also a supernatural item.

Su Hao nodded and used the Item Appraisal Technique on that wooden chair.

Soul-Nourishing Wooden Chair

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: Sitting on the Soul-Nourishing Wooden Chair slowly increases soul strength, relieves fatigue, and speeds up mental power recovery.

…

Oh ho~! This is indeed a good thing!

Su Hao raised his eyebrows, showing surprise; he still had some understanding of the soul.

Mental power, the supernatural sequence, talent, and skill runes are all stored deep within the soul.

Usually, once the physical body dies, the soul dissipates; likewise, if the soul dissipates, the physical body will die as well.

Aside from certain special supernatural beings and monsters, the physical body and soul are the two basic components of life.

Although Su Hao will not die as long as he still has a fragment of his heart, no matter what injury he suffers, and he can even accelerate recovery by drinking blood.

But if his soul were shattered, Su Hao is unsure whether his recovered body would still possess self‑consciousness…

Therefore, strengthening soul strength would undoubtedly greatly increase Su Hao's survivability.

If I think about it, using a necromancer's magic potion to advance seems like a decent choice.

Su Hao thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

Necromancers belong to undead creatures, and most undead creatures have a higher soul strength than living beings.

The higher the soul strength, the more attacks it can withstand.

At the same time, the greater the soul strength, the more mental power it can bear, the more spells can be cast, and the stronger the spell power.

Hmm…

After I take the necromancer's magic potion, I wouldn't also turn into something like that wraith good brother, would I…

Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed in Su Hao's eyes.

If possible, he would naturally prefer to be a being of flesh and blood.

He could eat and drink, enjoy delicious food, and in a person's night, still let his hands fulfill their proper function…

No, no, I'm not simply using an undead mage's magic potion to advance—how could I possibly become a pure undead?

But soon, Su Hao shook his head, denying the possibility of becoming an undead.

First, after the necromancer's magic potion is prepared, Su Hao will not drink it directly; instead, he will first use a suitable item to synthesize it.

Perhaps after synthesis, the potion will no longer be purely a necromancer's.

Second, Su Hao plans to use the third method, advancing by taking two doses of the potion consecutively.

Therefore, even if the necromancer's magic potion is synthesized, it remains an undead‑type magic potion.

However, under the influence of a second‑rank flesh controller, Su Hao will certainly not completely become an undead creature.

Su Hao guesses that, once his advancement is complete, he will likely be in a state between life and death.

Exactly what state that is, Su Hao cannot yet determine, but one thing is certain: he will not become like the wraith, a bodiless, flesh‑less undead.

Thereafter, Su Hao stopped thinking about it and continued exploring the room.

Unfortunately, the altar below is merely a pile of ordinary stones, and the stone person's rock‑giant axe is only a first‑tier supernatural item.

Besides that, there is nothing else of value in this room.

Eh? Not right!

Just as Su Hao was about to call Ling Xue'er'er and the others to come in and go together to the left‑hand room, he suddenly remembered that the wraith good brother had a magic book as a weapon.

If nothing unexpected happens, that magic book should also be a supernatural item.

I remember it seems to have fallen down here.

Su Hao returned to the spot where the wraith had stood and began to dig through the altar's rubble.

Before long, a red magic book appeared before his eyes.

Blood-Colored Magic Book

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: Magic cast using the Blood-Colored Magic Book can slightly reduce casting time, and the power of some spells is slightly increased.

If the released magic is blood magic, the casting time and spell power can be further strengthened.

In ancient times, a magic book forged by the dwarf clan's divine artisan *** for **** can have its supernatural grade raised by strengthening it with a certain amount and type of supernatural blood.

After the supernatural grade is increased, the effect of the Blood-Colored Magic Book will also be enhanced.

…

"Holy crap?!"

"My good brother, you're really something—sending me soul crystals, and now weapons too! I'm literally crying to death!"

After checking the magic book's appraisal, Su Hao's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Although it's only a first-rank supernatural item, it is an extremely rare growth-type supernatural item.

With enough supernatural blood, this magic book can raise one's supernatural grade.

As one's supernatural grade rises, the blood-red magic book's effects naturally grow stronger.

At first rank, the blood-red magic book can only slightly shorten casting time and slightly boost some magical power.

But upon reaching second rank, the boost to magical skill damage and the reduction in casting time will further improve, possibly from slight to moderate—it's hard to say.

Moreover, this is a magic book exclusive to blood magic; using blood magic further enhances all its effects, making it a perfect fit for Su Hao.

Although Su Hao now wields the Gravity Rock Axe, cleaving stone people in one strike, he looks more like a violent warrior.

But there's no denying that he is indeed a mage skilled in blood magic.

Even if his style is wildly off, it doesn't change the fact that he is a mage.

How can a mage not have a wand or a magic book?

From the ghost spirit's performance, this magic book doesn't need to be held like a staff—it can float in the air with just mental power, which makes Su Hao even more satisfied.

"Hmm…"

"With the blood-red magic book, I'll be able to swing the Gravity Rock Axe with one hand while controlling the book, and shove it into the enemy's mouth!"

Thinking of this, Su Hao's lips curled slightly, his face showing anticipation.

Anyway, the style is already off, so let's just keep going down this abnormal path!

However, we still need to first synthesize the double-headed Stitching Monster's thought nerves; only by achieving multitasking can we better accomplish this.

"Too bad we don't have the right materials."

Su Hao helplessly shook his head, then called Ling Xue'er and the others outside to come explore the small room on the left together.
