Through the cave's teleportation array, Li Mo appeared in the center of the Plains of Death. He used Shadowmeld to rush to the periphery.
With Ao Ying's help, he could easily kill higher ranked demons to increase his power. But after careful consideration, he still wanted to rely on himself. Only then could he improve his combat experience.
Otherwise, if he only relied on Ao Ying, even if he reached Level 80, he wouldn't be any different from Shuang 'er and Mu Qing of Snow Cherry Town. It would just be an empty shell.
"I wonder if the demons can adapt to the scarlet space. Will the Purplecore Resurrection Grass help Yan 'er's remnant soul?"
As Li Mo ran, his mind was filled with these questions.
After returning the dragon pearl to Ao Ying, he couldn't enter the scarlet space as he pleased. Or else he would've been itching to check it out.
With Li Mo's speed, it only took him an hour to reach the outskirts of the Plains of Death.
Most of the demons here were in the fifth to sixth level, perfect for him to level up.
Stopping, Li Mo took out the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword and whispered Ao Ying's name.
In a flash of golden light, Li Mo vanished. When he entered the scarlet space, Ao Ying welcomed him with a smile.
"He-he … master, why are you calling me?"
"You already know the answer. Will the Purplecore Resurrection Grass help Yan 'er's remnant soul?
And the demons … "
Ao Ying rolled her eyes at Li Mo before he could finish.
"Master, when have I, Ao Ying, ever disappointed you!
You can rest assured that those Demon Beasts have completely adapted to the environment here. In just a few years, they will be able to advance to the strength of a Class 8 Demon Beast!
Also, the Purple Core Resurrection Grass is worthy of being the top treasure of heaven and earth. I just transplanted it here, Liu Yan's remnant soul reacted, and her recovery speed has greatly increased! "
"Ah!
Really?
That's wonderful! "
Li Mo paced back and forth in excitement, rubbing his fists.
"Ha-ha … look at how excited you are!
But if you want Liu Yan's remnant soul to recover, the Purplecore Resurrection Grass won't be enough.
You have to continue to work hard to find more Heaven and Earth treasures! "
Ao Ying didn't want to hurt Li Mo's feelings, but this was the truth.
"I know. As long as Yan 'er can recover, I'll do anything!"
…
Everything was going according to plan. Li Mo's heart was at ease.
However, there was one more thing he had always wanted to try, but he was afraid of causing any harm to Liu Yan and Ao Ying.
That was to strengthen the Scarlet Dragonscale Sword. Today, he could use this opportunity to ask Ao Ying.
"Ao Ying, I have something to ask you!"
"Master, when did you become so polite to me?
If you have anything to say, just say it! "
Ao Ying looked at Li Mo in confusion.
Li Mo told Ao Ying about this world's weapons and equipment grades, as well as refining and strengthening.
Ao Ying sank into contemplation and Li Mo didn't bother her.
A quarter of an hour later, Ao Ying looked up at Li Mo.
"Master, the Scarlet Dragonscale Sword was a divine weapon back in the Ancient Continent. I believe it won't be any less powerful here!
Moreover, the old master had used many precious refining materials to forge this sword, and it took him hundreds of years to forge it.
It shouldn't have a problem withstanding the smelting process. It shouldn't affect the scarlet space much either.
But I don't know if it will have the effect of increasing attack power that you mentioned after the enhancement! "
Li Mo's heart leaped with joy as he smiled at Ao Ying.
"Since it won't affect you and Liu Yan, how will we know if we don't test it?
We'll find a safe place and you'll be my protector! "
…
The Plains of Death was a flat plain with very few places for Li Mo to hide.
With great difficulty, he found a cave on a small hill. Li Mo told Ao Ying a few things and went in!
The cave wasn't deep, only ten meters deep. It must be a temporary residence for those training here.
With Ao Ying as his protector, Li Mo didn't have to worry about humans or beasts bothering him. At the end of the cave, Li Mo took out all the strengthening materials from his storage belt!
Han Tianyu's book on equipment strengthening kept popping up in his mind.
Strengthening was also divided into ten levels, and the number of Strengthening Stones required for each level increased exponentially.
Moreover, the higher the quality of the weapon, the higher the number of strengthening stones needed, and the lower the success rate!
A common scarlet equipment only needed one strengthening stone to get it to the first level. But Li Mo's Scarlet Dragonscale Sword was proven to be a weapon that surpassed the king grade.
To get it to the first level, he needed ten strengthening stones.
Li Mo shook his head with a bitter smile as he looked at the forty-odd strengthening stones before him.
"Sigh!
If so many Strengthening Stones were to be sold at an auction, they would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
But it's not enough to upgrade the Dragonscale Sword. I can upgrade it to the second level without failure. "
Thinking of this, Li Mo didn't even dare to imagine how many strengthening stones he would need to upgrade the Dragonscale Sword to the highest level. If converted into gold coins, it would be a fortune!
He couldn't help but recall the first page of Han Tianyu's book on refining and upgrading. 'Strengthening is risky, use caution!'
The first time he saw it, Li Mo thought it was a joke. But now that he thought about it, the path of refining and upgrading was a shortcut that could make one go bankrupt!
But Li Mo was a man who loved challenges. After calming himself down, he started upgrading his equipment for the first time in his life.
He controlled the flames in his body and gathered them in his palm. With a thought, the flames turned into a fireball and quickly melted the ten Strengthening Stones.
But Li Mo overestimated his flame's temperature and the toughness of the strengthening stones. He thought he could easily refine them.
But in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, less than a tenth of the strengthening stones were refined.
In other words, only a corner of the ten strengthening stones were refined.
"Heavens!
How can the strengthening stones be so hard?
How long would it take to completely refine all ten of these Strengthening Stones!? "
Li Mo's forehead was covered in sweat. But he couldn't give up halfway. He could only gather more charcoal in his body to refine them, but at the same time, it consumed a lot of energy.
The crux of the process was refining the strengthening stones. If he couldn't even do this, he wouldn't be able to proceed to the next step.
Li Mo spent a lot of energy, but with Ao Ying's protection, he was absolutely safe. He clenched his teeth and persevered!
