390: Kind-hearted Gou Li! Refining treasures and upgrading!

Su Lie froze, realizing the other party had misunderstood, and immediately stated his identity: "I am Su Lie!"

As he spoke, he also sent a message to Gouli through the friend module.

Gouli's lips twitched, and she murmured to herself: "It seems this is some big shot who doesn't want to reveal their name! No wonder he was able to repel the Curse Demon Zhang Qianyuan just now!"

"Could he be trying to impersonate Su Lie..."

"That move is truly brilliant!"

"No wonder December, despite having few members, is known as the Strongest Group!"

"It's worth the trip just to witness the prestige of the Strongest Group's leader today!"

Thinking this, she quickly cupped her hands toward Su Lie and said: "My apologies, Su Lie! I came here under Wang Baobao's orders to protect you! You may proceed with peace of mind on this journey; I will help you resolve any crisis!"

"Thank you!" Su Lie's eyelid twitched upon hearing this. While thanking her, he declined: "Sister Gouli! You just need to follow the territory along the way... Wait, no!... Would you like to come in and sit down? I have a guest room here where you can rest!"

"Hmm? Is he trying to probe my background or trying to uncover the secrets of the Thorn Group from me?" Gouli considered these possibilities. She smiled and shook her head, saying: "Apologies! I am accustomed to being alone! If you need anything, you can contact me through the friend module!"

Saying this, she nodded toward Su Lie, cupping her hands.

Buzz! The next second, Gouli vanished from Su Lie's sight.

Su Lie scanned the surroundings twice but couldn't figure out how Gouli had left. He sighed immediately: "What a pity! I didn't even get to ask her what level she is!"

He instantly teleported back to the territory.

On a mountain slope next to a basin area, approximately three thousand kilometers away from the territory.

Gouli flashed onto the mountaintop. Looking at a group of monsters at the foot of the mountain, she murmured softly: "It seems all the Halls value Su Lie highly! December was able to send a leader who is skilled in changing appearance and form!"

"Who will the Xingtian Group arrange to send?"

"No way!" "Since I represent the Thorn Group, I cannot lose face for the Thorn Group!"

"You guys send a leader for secret protection!"

"I will directly help Su Lie clear the dangers along this path, and then appear at the right time!"

"Even if I don't end up saving his life, he will definitely remember the kindness of being protected along the way!"

"It just so happens that I also have some medicinal pills here that I need someone to refine!"

... Thinking this, she raised her hand and pointed.

Buzz! A black sphere suddenly condensed above the monster group in the basin.

The black sphere was like a black hole. In the blink of an eye, it absorbed this area spanning dozens of miles into the sphere.

Pfft! The black sphere subsequently burst open.

Speckled light fell, disappearing into nothingness.

Not long after, the monsters hiding within a radius of several hundred kilometers nearby were about to move.

Suddenly, they saw a flash of light. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! In the blink of an eye, sounds of explosions echoed throughout the jungle.

Gouli turned her head and glanced at the territory, which was rapidly catching up. Her lips curved into a smile: "This area is mostly cleared! Time to go!"

Buzz! One second after she disappeared, Gouli returned again.

This was because, as she was leaving, a thought flashed through her mind: "It won't do if I just clear them! I must leave the monster crystal behind! Otherwise, this kid might misunderstand that I'm stealing his resources!"

After speaking, Gouli placed the monster crystal on the mountaintop and set up a sensing Rune before leaving again.

Before long, Su Lie's territory floated into this area.

The spirit of the territory, which was about to sail past, paused and quickly stopped.

She saw a beam of light and, using the territory's vision, discovered that there was a pile of monster crystal inside the light.

"Master!" At this moment, Su Ling turned her head to look at Su Lie.

Su Lie looked up, his eyebrows involuntarily raising: "What's going on?"

"I don't know! But there is some monster crystal here!" Su Ling pointed to the image on the screen and said: "Could this be a trap?"

"Impossible, right?" Su Lie wasn't sure either.

Su Ling carefully looked at the surrounding images and said solemnly: "Look! There are obvious signs of battle here! And judging by the pollution index, the Mist pollution level here is moderate, but the monsters' polluted aura is dissipating!"

"This means there were monsters here, but they were cleared by someone!"

The two words, "cleared by someone," startled Su Lie.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Holy cow! This couldn't have been done by Gouli, could it?"

Buzz! Being highly skilled and daring, he instantly teleported out of the territory and went to the mountaintop to take a look.

In the pile of monster crystal, Su Lie found a jade talisman.

The moment he touched the jade talisman, it automatically disappeared.

At that moment, Gouli sent Su Lie a private message: "Su Lie! I helped you clear the monsters! Please accept the monster crystal!"

"Holy cow! It really was her!" Su Lie's face darkened slightly.

He had been counting on the monsters along the way to gain experience.

Who knew that someone so warm-hearted would come along to help?

This left him feeling both amused and frustrated.

"Forget it! I'll rely on Treasure Refining to gain experience instead!"

Su Lie raised his hand and grabbed the full 30,000 level 5 monster crystal, storing them all in his warehouse.

He instantly teleported back inside the territory.

"This time, I'll refine the dragon shadow pill first!"

Su Lie arrived at the third floor of the Great Joy Tower and first released the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

Buzz! The furnace flames inside the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace flickered; there was no need to add spiritual fire again.

Su Lie immediately posted a message in the territory's Chat Group: "Everyone! The third floor of the Great Joy Tower has a refining room. By consuming monster crystal, you can project a furnace tool. This tool will grant everyone a 2 million times Treasure Refining Critical Hit and a 2 million times Treasure Refining Success Rate upon every successful refinement!"

As soon as this was said, Luo Xu was the first to respond: "Holy moly! Liege! I apply to go!"

The Wu Xiu, who was currently refining medicine, was stunned and quickly spoke up: "Liege! I also apply!"

Zhang Qiang, Ou Lu, Identification Expert, Zhong Lili, Gu Wu, Wen Jiu, and others all sent in their applications.

Berber, realizing late, also sent an application at the end.

Su Lie selected 12 Vassals and approved their Treasure Refining applications.

He, in turn, took out the 10 billion Level 10 monster crystal and 500,000 units of dragon remains required to refine 50 million dragon shadow pill.

Now that he had a more powerful dragon shadow pill, he naturally wanted to equip the Little Skeletons Legion with it.

The requirement for equipping them was to refine enough dragon shadow pill for the Little Skeletons to consume long-term.

Following this, he communicated with the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace via thought, opened the refining blueprint list through the Eight Treasures Furnace, and located the dragon shadow pill.

As he looked at the dragon shadow pill, Su Lie paused: "It appeared!"

At this moment, the method for increasing the grade of god-tier pills appeared on the dragon shadow pill's formula.

It read: [dragon shadow pill: Red God-level Quality, an mutated pill of the bone precious pill. Refining Requirement: 1 unit of dragon remains, 20,000 Level 10 monster crystal, can refine 100 dragon shadow pill.

Increasing god-tier quality Pill Grade: By proportionally investing more main material (i.e., dragon remains), the grade of the god-tier quality pill can be increased.

(For example: Grade 1 dragon shadow pill requires 10 units of dragon remains, Grade 2 dragon shadow pill requires 100 units of dragon remains... and so on, the main material required for each subsequent grade is 10 times more than the previous grade.)

After the pill grade is increased, the corresponding enhancement data will also be improved.

Effect One: Increases all life forms' Life Attribute by 1 million points, Spirit Attribute by 1 million points, Stamina Attribute by 1 million points, and Speed Attribute by 1 million points.

Effect Two: Awakens the Dragon Wing Talent.

Effect Three: Awakens the Divine Dragon Talent.

Effect Four: Satiety. After use, skeletal life forms can satisfy their daily energy consumption needs for 5 days.

Note: The attribute enhancement of Effect One is only effective once for non-skeletal life forms; subsequent use will not increase attribute values, but merely supplement calcium.

Note: The attribute enhancement of Effect One can be repeatedly effective for skeletal life forms.

Note: If the user already possesses the Talent from Effect Two and Effect Three, the effects will not be produced.

Note: This pill has a massive enhancement effect on skeletal life forms.

Note: In all recipes, only monster crystal and materials designated as auxiliary materials are considered auxiliary materials.]

"Holy cow! This is way too difficult!" Su Lie couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth after reading it.

According to his calculations, refining one Grade 12 god-tier dragon shadow pill would require one trillion units of dragon remains.

Given the current reserves of the territory's dragon skeleton ore, it would only be enough to refine 12 god-tier dragon shadow pill.

If these were used by the Little Skeletons, it would be too wasteful.

Considering this, Su Lie decided to use 50 billion units of dragon remains to refine Grade 6 dragon shadow pill.

At the same time Su Lie made his decision, Berber and others arrived at the refining room on the third floor.

They greeted Su Lie one by one, and after receiving guidance from him, they each obtained a projection of the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

Afterward, they took the projections into their respective compartments and placed them there.

Only then did Su Lie start his Treasure Refining with peace of mind.

Buzz! In the blink of an eye, the first batch of dragon shadow pill flew out of the furnace.

This time, Su Lie put 100,000 units of dragon remains and 20,000 Level 10 monster crystal into the furnace.

After being enhanced by the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace's 2 million times critical hit effect, Su Lie harvested a total of 200 million Grade 6 dragon shadow pill.

As well as 200 experience points.

Seeing this, the corner of his mouth curved up. He immediately took out one dragon shadow pill and examined it carefully.

Buzz! In the blink of an eye, the dragon shadow pill's panel automatically popped up.

[dragon shadow pill: Red God-level Quality; Grade 6 God Pill; Effect One: Increases all life forms' Life Attribute by 7 million points, Spirit Attribute by 7 million points, Stamina Attribute by 7 million points, and Speed Attribute by 7 million points...]

"Holy cow!" Su Lie was filled with regret after seeing this: "Damn it! If I had known this was so awesome, I shouldn't have used the ordinary dragon shadow pill directly!"

After this refinement, he was surprised to find that this god-tier dragon shadow pill increased the Life Attribute by 1 million points more than the previous grade for every level increase.

Following this pattern, by the time it reached Grade 12 god-tier dragon shadow pill, it would increase the attribute points by 13 million.

This was already incredibly awesome.

It was even stronger than the five-flower pill Su Lie had purchased from Bai Tianyu.

"According to what Bai Tianyu said... the five-flower pill is already a peerless pill! Wouldn't my dragon shadow pill be extremely valuable?"

This made Su Lie's eyes light up.

He then started refining again.

He did not dump all the materials into the furnace at once.

Instead, he adopted the method of refining one batch at a time.

This could bring him massive experience gains.

The only problem was that it was a bit troublesome!

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

About a few minutes later. Buzz! A golden light flashed around Su Lie.

He leveled up directly while Treasure Refining.

Su Lie blinked his eyes, and only after this batch of Treasure Refining was successful did he look at his personal panel...
