Chapter 461 - 467: Harvest
The moment the Red Sand Demon King fell, the flames within him extinguished, and its sand shell rapidly weathered, turning into a heap of drifting sand grains.
During this process, an astounding burst of purple Spiritual Qi erupted!
Each of the twenty or so participants in the battle received a share of the precious purple Spiritual Qi, the quality of which was beyond what anyone had previously dared to imagine.
Even if the Spiritual Qi value is the same for each portion of Qi.
The value of green Spiritual Qi, blue Spiritual Qi, and purple Spiritual Qi is different.
The essence of purple Spiritual Qi is ten times that of blue Spiritual Qi, a hundred times that of green Spiritual Qi, which means even if the amount of Qi received is not large, the concentration of Spiritual Qi essence within the body will significantly increase!
Hang Yu, as the leader of the team and the boss of Sand Spring City, also contributed the most. As per the norm, he received the largest share, getting a quarter of it all!
A total of 43,000 Spiritual Qi was obtained at once.
It takes 80,000 Spiritual Qi to level up from 15 to 16.
This accumulation alone filled more than half of the needed Spiritual Qi, and with the previously stored Qi, Hang Yu’s Spiritual Qi was nearing saturation. Even after upgrading the Four-sided Blood Prison to the fullest, there would still be about 20,000 left!
However, more exciting than the increase in Spiritual Qi number is the spike in Spiritual Qi essence. Hang Yu checked his condition and found that his Spiritual Qi essence had reached 81%!
Mind you.
Not much time had passed since he leveled up from 14 to 15.
Just by absorbing a quarter of the Red Sand Demon King’s Spiritual Qi.
He incredibly gained such a significant boost, not far from reaching level 16. Certainly, there was the fast-growing talent of the human race contributing to this, but the high nutrients of a King-level monster were also crucial.
In the entire Desert Province, there were very few who reached level 16.
The other three Great Lords remained at level 15.
Only Governor Nazg had reached level 16.
Others who shared the remaining Spiritual Qi from the Red Sand Demon King, like Xu and Zhao, were on the frontline next to Hang Yu. They were already close to level 15, and indeed a group of preliminary frontline members smoothly advanced to level 14.
It’s fair to say.
The successful hunt of this monster.
Marked a significant enhancement in strength for the core team of Sand Spring City!
"We really succeeded, it’s unbelievable."
"Look, look, purple explosion, purple explosion!"
The Red Sand Demon King dropped two purple items, plus eight or nine bright blue items, marking the first time in history that purple items were obtained by killing a monster.
For others present.
It was unprecedented!
Purple items are a hundred times rarer than blue items!
In today’s human society, purple quality items are as rare as phoenix feathers!
Hang Yu went over to collect the two purple light spheres to check them first. To his dismay, neither item was equipment.
But.
This is normal.
As previously mentioned.
Starting from blue quality, equipment becomes increasingly precious, and usually does not drop directly, or very rarely so.
The general ways to obtain blue quality and above equipment are primarily through blueprint production, followed by fragment collection and treasure chest acquisition.
Perhaps there is a tiny probability for blue-grade equipment to drop, but above blue grade, it’s nearly impossible to get from killing monsters.
The reason is simple.
It’s difficult to become complete naturally for purple grade and above equipment.
This quality of equipment possesses high uniqueness and can only be produced by master-level artisans, or formed by some special chance; expecting direct drops from monsters? Even with King-level monsters, it’s unlikely!
This further emphasizes the value of purple equipment.
Hang Yu had the attribute boosts and skill effects of a "Doomsday Nether Flame Necklace," already accounting for more than an inheritance of the Third Tier. The "Doomsday Nether Flame Necklace" at level 15 dark purple equipment is only considered the lower limit in grade and quality among purple equipment.
Purple equipment is extremely powerful.
Yet at the same time extremely precious.
Even though no purple equipment was obtained.
These two purple items weren’t bad either.
[Magic Professional Skill Stone: Eternal Damnation Flame], purple middle grade quality, Flame Forbidden Mage inheritance, requires 20,000 Spiritual Qi to learn.
[Heart of Mixed Elements], purple lower grade quality, special material, provides immunity of 30 points to earth attribute damage and 30 points to fire attribute damage upon wearing.
The former is a Fourth Tier main Skill Stone.
The fourth-tier magic "Eternal Damnation Flame" is completely different from the Red Sand Demon King’s "Eternal Damnation Demon Flame." The former is the most powerful among the several inheritances and dozens of skills in the fire series for fourth-tier Magic Professionals!
The value of this Skill Stone is imaginable!
As for the second item, it is a purple material.
Although it is a material, in terms of attributes, it wouldn’t lose to bright blue equipment, comparable to the Heart of the Fire Element, and can produce effects when carried.
Of course.
Only one Elemental Heart can be worn at a time.
The effects of this type of thing cannot overlap.
This Heart of Mixed Elements is slightly inferior to Hang Yu’s Heart of the Fire Element, but the advantage is that it provides dual damage immunity, suiting more situations!
Even this Heart of Mixed Elements.
Can easily be exchanged for several high-quality blue equipment!
Hang Yu then checked other blue items in turn, which mainly involved precious materials, and included a bright blue equipment blueprint.
[Artifact Refining Blueprint: Eternal Damnation Demon Flame Giant Sword], level 15 bright blue upper-grade quality blueprint, learning requirement: Expert-level Refining Skill.
Though a bright blue upper-grade quality blueprint.
The manufactured equipment should be of bright blue quality too.
Since the gap between blue and purple equipment is considerable, even if the blueprint quality is high, creating gear across grade levels is exceedingly challenging and nearly impossible.
But it’s certain that.
This level 15 Giant Sword will be a top-grade among blue Giant Swords!
Hang Yu had a decent level 15 bright blue weapon, Abyssal Slaughterer, so he wasn’t particularly interested in the Giant Sword, but the value of this blueprint was high. After all, any equipment refining blueprint was valued higher than merely obtaining such equipment itself.
Provided materials are sufficient in the future.
It may not be impossible to mass produce these top-tier weapons.
Even if Hang Yu doesn’t have much demand, there will always be those around him who do!
"Although this guy’s drop is of suitable value, it didn’t surprise me much," Hang Yu said, "Let’s see how the treasure chest goes next."
Indeed.
Purple Skill Stones are quite precious.
But Hang Yu already managed to get two before.
Among them, he hasn’t yet traded off a "Ice River Descent," a magic series Fourth Tier one.
Another one, luck struck, was one he could use, the Four-sided Blood Prison, now already used. Henceforth, the skill stone dropped by the Red Sand Demon King did not surprise Hang Yu.
As for the Elemental Heart?
Unfortunately, Hang Yu already has one, with even better properties!
The Red Sand Demon King dropping two purple items fits a King-level monster’s identity, yet there wasn’t any stroke of luck, just typical drops.
But the harvest wasn’t just this.
Hang Yu decided to deploy his secret weapon.
Now it’s time for Boss Hang’s imperial box opener, Azure Dragon’s first fair face, Jiang Nan, to shine. Jiang Nan headed to the treasure chest next to the altar throne and, seeing the chest with purple aura, was impressed.
After marvelling for a while, she promptly began to open it.
This treasure chest was sizable, and once opened, it revealed four purple light spheres, along with more than a dozen blue light spheres.
Hang Yu went to check.
Indeed!
Jiang Nan didn’t let anyone down.
As always, demonstrating her excellent luck.
[Contract of the Burning Soul], level 15 contract, purple lower grade quality, this contract can sign up to two hundred people. If a signee violates the contract, their soul will suffer from contract backlash, enduring ceaseless soul burning until the soul collapses.
[Book of Sand], level 15 skill book, purple lower grade quality, a mysterious book recorded with numerous spells, and Spiritual Qi can be consumed to cast assorted spells from the book.
[Sand Emperor’s Cloak], level 15 equipment, purple lower grade, with detailed attributes hidden, once used by the Sand Emperor, was damaged due to loss of durability, but if repaired, it will be powerful purple equipment.
[Medicine Refining Formula: Red Sand Demon King Transformation Magical Potion], level 15 magic potion formula, learning requirements: Master-level Medicine Refining Skill, Advanced Alchemy.
