Chapter 302 – Refining Demon Spirits
Nie Li focused his thoughts on the Nightmare Demon Pot as he placed ten Ordinary Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirits into it.
He then activated the pot. Within the device, the ten demon spirits began devouring each other.
Earlier, Nie Li had tried to put a Dragon Bloodline demon spirit with an ordinary bloodline demon spirit together in the Nightmare Demon Pot. However, he quickly learned that the Dragon Bloodlines devoured the ordinary ones too fast — so fast that the Dragon Bloodlines didn’t see any change in evolution. It seemed that Dragon Bloodlines were much more powerful than ordinary demon spirits.
As time passed, Nie Li felt changes within the Nightmare Demon Pot. One of the demon spirits was obviously stronger than the others as it constantly devoured, becoming more and more powerful each time.
When two Dragon Bloodline demon spirits fused, they would do so in a burst of blazing flame-like energy.
The entire Nightmare Demon Pot glowed scarlet red as a surge of energy revolved inside.
After the Nightmare Demon Pot absorbed the released energy, a mysterious pattern gradually formed on its surface. The design looked like a dragon with its wings spread wide; however, the design was also extremely faint and hard to discern. Nie Li had no idea what these changes meant.
Regardless, the refinery process was finally done!
Nie Li removed the Dragon Bloodline demon spirit after it’d finished fusing. Now, it had become a Dragon Bloodline with a Good Level growth rate. Compared to those with Ordinary Level growth rates, it’s price was several folds higher.
He placed another ten Ordinary Level growth rate Dragon Bloodlines in the Nightmare Demon Pot and restarted the refining process.
Refinery success!
Refinery success!
Refinery failure!
After some quick calculations, Nie Li determined that the Nightmare Demon Pot’s failure rate was roughly around one in ten. The success rate was much higher than before.
Nie Li continued to repeat the process. After approximately fifty times, the Nightmare Demon Pot suddenly shone with a blazing glow that was so dazzling that Nie Li couldn’t help squinting his eyes. There was frightening energy contained in there.
However, it was only a fleeting glow that quickly died down.
A wave of glowing splendor revolved at the bottom of the Nightmare Demon Pot.
Curiosity arose in Nie Li’s heart. What was going on?
He brought out the Dragon Bloodline that remained at the bottom of the Nightmare Demon Pot and reached his senses out towards it. This demon spirit was far stronger than any Good Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline. It had undergone its first mutation!
Most demon spirits, including God Level growth rate ones, don’t start out very powerful. A demon spirit requires care from their Demon Spiritualist, in the form of nourishment by Heavenly Energy. In fact, demon spirits require so much energy that they would need to absorb some Demon Soul’s Essence to become stronger and constantly increase their rankings.
Only after ranking up, the growth in strength would be higher for those higher ranked demon spirit compared to those that are lower ranked.
For example, if you have two 3-fate demon spirits, the one with the God Level growth rate will have a combat ability that’s a dozen fold stronger than the one with the Ordinary Level growth rate.
However, a demon spirit’s quality doesn’t increase only in terms of rank. Sometimes, a demon spirit might mutate. When such an event occurs, the demon spirit’s combat strength becomes much stronger.
Nie Li’s Shadow Devil and Fanged Panda had both undergone their first mutations. The more mutations a demon spirit experienced, the more precious it would become!
Usually, there’s a set probability to whether or not a demon spirit will mutate upon ranking up. However, this particular demon spirit had mutated during the fusing process instead. The price of such a mutated demon spirit must be greater by several dozen fold!
Nie Li didn’t know if this demon spirit had mutated by itself, or was influenced by the Nightmare Demon Pot. Either way, it was still good news to him.
Nie Li continued refining demon spirits. It wasn’t until the appearance of the second, and then the third mutated Dragon Bloodline… Now he was sure that it was an effect of the Nightmare Demon Pot!
From the thirty thousand Dragon Bloodline demon spirits with Ordinary Level growth rates, Nie Li only managed to produce about two thousand five hundred demon spirits with Good Level growth rates. And among them, twenty-three had undergone a mutation.
