Chapter 125: 4th Rank - Dragon Blood Sprite
Chapter 125: 4th Rank - Dragon Blood Sprite
The negotiations with the Hell Church and the Church quickly came to a close. The appearance of the magic crystals simplified what was originally a complex situation.
The terms were indeed as Qin Muye had previously agreed, but there were some minor changes, which didn't matter much.
As for the magic crystals he was giving to both factions, they were actually all low-quality. Otherwise, would Qin Muye have given them away?
If the quality of the magic crystals produced in Hell was rated at 100, then the quality of the magic crystals from Ackerman Town was at most 0.00001, with an extremely low conversion efficiency.
However, the quantity was substantial, and for now, it would last for about one or two years.
The problem was that it wasn't just the Hell Church and the Church. The Federation of States was also a force, and it seemed that there was a spy in one of the factions. The Federation of States also arrived late in the evening and seemed to know a lot.
In the end, this turned into a collaboration among four parties.
Qin Muye needed a lot of things, from wood and stone to food, as well as iron ore and various metals, all to be delivered monthly.
Qin Muye wouldn't come to this Horror Universe frequently. For him, the matters here were settled for the time being. The expansion of Hell could wait, and for now, it could only serve as a transit station and trading post.
This time, Qin Muye really made a profit, even more than from arms sales.
The magic crystals were almost cost-free for him, made from high-concentration Red Prison elements. He had an abundance of mana for conversion and even a mana source, from which he could draw more mana when necessary.
It wasn't that there was no cost, but that small amount of mana was something Qin Muye didn't care about at all.
After the collaboration was established, Qin Muye immediately delivered one ton of magic crystals to each party as the first batch of goods. The payment could be collected a month later.
In the future, he would come once a month to collect the payment and deliver more goods.
After handling these matters, Qin Muye naturally returned everyone to the Magic Continent, leaving Hell alone.
As for other forces infiltrating Hell, Qin Muye wasn't worried at all. Those who were willing to risk their lives could come in, and if anyone managed to enter smoothly, he couldn't stop them.
Besides, there was nothing of value inside, just some Red Prison element cores. These hadn't been improved by Qin Muye and didn't qualify as magic crystals. If they were taken out, it would cause a massive disaster. Qin Muye had already warned them, but whether they heeded the warning was none of his concern.
In any case, the Horror Universe was just a source of resources for him. This world had great value, but his core was still his territory. Perhaps after he finished his business on the Magic Continent, he would come back to further exploit its value.
Saving them was out of the question. These major forces were extremely wary of him. His identity was that of the Lord of Hell. Once the Hell Church, the Church, or the Federation of States no longer needed him, the lightest punishment would be to get rid of him.
The saying "Those not of our kind must have different hearts" wasn't just a figure of speech. In Qin Muye's eyes, he was human, but in the eyes of the forces in the Horror Universe, he was the Lord of Hell. Although he looked human, he was definitely not. They wouldn't hesitate to kill him if the opportunity arose.
So why should Qin Muye save them just because of a business relationship?
Didn't they try to freeload and even trick him at the beginning? Given this situation, why should he risk his life for them?
Back on the Magic Continent, Qin Muye opened his to-do list: "There are still many 4th Rank Dragon Blood Sprites left. Given my current situation, I can perfect them by tomorrow night at the latest."
"Also, the intelligent magic can be further refined on the sprites, but the territory rank is a problem."
The only condition left for upgrading his territory to 4th Rank was that Qin Muye needed to reach level 30. He was currently at level 23.
The Mage Tower had recently built four new Level 3 mana pools, bringing the total to five. Normally, one mana pool could provide him with 3000 experience points, and with the additional 500% bonus, it became 15000 experience points, or 18000 experience points per mana pool.
With five mana pools, he would gain 90000 experience points per day, averaging out to one level every two days.
So, upgrading his territory to 4th Rank was just a matter of time. The real challenge was Qin Muye's own level-up quest.
He was being watched by all the forces on the Magic Continent. After all, what if a human nuclear bomb like him exploded somewhere?
Qin Muye's life or death was their concern, but if he died, the entire Magic Continent would suffer with him.
No one could bear this, so his movements were always under the watchful eyes of the major forces. As long as he left his territory, it would definitely attract attention from all sides.
"Whatever, let's leave this for later. Who knows what crazy things I'll come up with in a month," Qin Muye quickly dismissed the matter from his mind. He believed that when the time came, a solution would present itself.
After a long day of work, Qin Muye finally managed to create the 4th Rank Dragon Blood Sprite. The next step would be the 5th Rank Dragon Vein Sprite, which would be the limit of the dragon lineage's potential.
As for the 6th Rank, that was the realm of deities. Unless Qin Muye captured a dragon deity, it was highly likely that he would have to rely on the Red Prison elements formed by the combination of crimson and hell, or integrate more races to form stronger bloodline skills.

Description: Does this pot of mixed ingredients look like a stew to you?
Qin Muye looked at the luxurious attributes and thought they seemed terrifying, but in reality, they were quite normal. In the Magic Continent, dragons were 5th Rank and were high-tier units. Lowering a 5th Rank unit's attributes to 4th Rank, combined with various enhancements, still made Qin Muye feel it was a bit low.
"It's still lacking. If I could integrate a complete dragon vein, it would probably be close to 5th Rank."
The 4th Rank units could still be used for some time, but the 5th Rank units were a different story, and it was uncertain when he would achieve that.
So, he decided to take it easy and not push too hard.
It wasn't that he didn't want to quickly upgrade the ranks; it was mainly due to limited conditions. To upgrade from 3rd to 4th Rank, he needed two special buildings. Upgrading from 4th to 5th Rank would likely require even more.
Only those with cheats on the leaderboard had the capability to do so. For ordinary people, it would be a significant challenge. Those who managed to reach 4th Rank were exceptional, having at least completed a dungeon and earned an S-grade evaluation. Otherwise, they would be stuck at 3rd Rank.
Once Qin Muye reached level 30 and upgraded his territory to 4th Rank, all the magic sprites would be transformed into Dragon Blood Sprites. This would allow him to join the first tier of forces, especially with the blood sprites using the Blood Burn skill to trade health for attack power, thanks to the Sacred Blood Flask.
This was why Qin Muye consciously increased the health of the sprites, as health was almost equivalent to attack power in his case.
Moreover, he increased the number of tentacles on the Dragon Blood Sprites from two to six, and added the Mimicry Body skill to allow them to extend and reshape, significantly increasing their attack frequency.
At this point, it was impossible to tell the difference between the 4th Rank Dragon Blood Sprites and the original ordinary sprites.
"Still, there are the Garden Sprites. I wonder when I can acquire them," Qin Muye looked at the unchanging Lucky Garden skill on the Dragon Blood Sprites, feeling somewhat helpless. The skill had started at +1 luck and remained the same, showing no progress at all.
This was very noticeable among the other skills, and it annoyed Qin Muye.
