Time flies, time flies like an arrow.
More than two hundred days passed by in a flash, and Su Changsheng also gradually reached the seventh level peak with day after day accumulation.
At this moment, all the conditions for promotion to the eighth level are in place, except for the final step.
But this is also the hardest.
He had no clue, so he could only put it down temporarily and calm down his tense nerves.
“The heavy rain season has actually entered a longer and colder winter again.”
"Even if it has a lifespan of five hundred years, time will not spare the demon."
Open the door and look outside.
It can be seen that the entire Youzhai has been wrapped in white snow, and only the north wind is still howling between the sky and the earth.
Cold and silent.
It's snowy and early winter has arrived.
The world is vast and everything is vast.
Su Changsheng cleared his mind and recalled this long period of cultivation, as well as the harvest and so on.
As early as three months ago, the continuous rainy season had stopped, but the Youzhai Plain, which was flooded by the Heishan River, still has not recovered from the once-in-a-century flood.
After the rainy season comes the short autumn.
Just two months.
Now as the high water level of the Heishan River gradually recedes, the surrounding temperature also begins to drop.
It changes every day, and in just a dozen days, it has dropped below freezing.
The first snow of this winter was brewed yesterday. It came very quickly and was very large, giving nothing at all a chance to breathe.
Wild nature, cruel and ruthless.
Although the water level of the Heishan River has receded and no longer roared like it did some time ago, the surrounding wilderness is still full of swamps and swamps, making it almost difficult to move.
Some areas are even more dangerous than before. There are too many unknown crises hidden under the quagmire. If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed without any bones left.
Although Youzhai survived the flood, it was only barely able to survive. It suffered heavy losses and faced a more complicated situation.
Shortage of personnel, lack of supplies, safety concerns, etc. are all matters that Youzhai urgently needs to deal with.
The impact of the floods is evident. Su Changsheng, as one of the senior leaders of Youzhai, can also feel it personally.
"The price of blood food for monsters has increased a lot. One drop of spiritual liquid for the blood and flesh of low-level monsters can only be exchanged for 250 kilograms, and the blood and flesh of medium-sized monsters can only be exchanged for only fifty kilograms. It is less than half of the previous amount."
"The talent materials for various alchemy and talisman making are also increasing. It seems that the demon people in Youzhai have lost a lot in this flood."
"The losses to the wild monsters in the wilderness are even more severe. Even if Youzhai increases its efforts to absorb them, it won't be effective for a while."
"Hey, although it is a world where individual strength is paramount, in the face of natural disasters, it is far inferior to the collaborative efforts of the civilized world."
Su Changsheng sighed.
He is just practicing in seclusion. He is not indifferent to worldly affairs. He naturally understands the situation faced by Youzhai and the reaction in the demon market.
Under the flood, all living beings are equal, and even the top leaders of Youzhai cannot escape its influence.
For him, the same is true.
Recently, the number of demon people in Youzhai has decreased, and the living environment has become worse, causing the prices of various resources to skyrocket.
This matter is really uncomfortable for all kinds of technical demons.
The increase in raw materials has caused the price of manufacturing runes and elixirs to soar, but the sales price of the terminal cannot be raised, because the price is high, and those demon clans can do without it.
Su Changsheng can only maintain a meager profit now. If it weren't for the support of various runes at the Xiaocheng level, he would have died just by relying on his beginner's level of alchemy.
Blood food is a necessity right now.
At this juncture, some senior officials of Youzhai would rather slow down their cultivation speed, but first ensure that their blood and food reserves are sufficient.
Taking the seventh-level high-level demon clan as an example, ordinary blood food is no longer enough to supply their daily consumption needs.
You must add some strange beast flesh and blood to your daily diet. It is best to use medium-sized monster flesh and blood, which is about forty or fifty pounds per day.
If it were the flesh and blood of low-level monsters, it would require at least two hundred kilograms.
This is no exaggeration.
After all, as a high-level demon clan, whether it is the consumption of qi and blood, or the speed of qi and blood conversion, etc., it is far from being comparable to the middle and low-level demon clan.
And each one is huge.
The true size of each high-level monster is dozens of meters away. If it weren't for the sufficient energy contained in the blood food of the strange beasts, this amount of flesh and blood would not be able to maintain their daily physical needs.
As for consuming Qi and Blood Pills... this thing is fine for occasional emergencies and to assist in practice, but it doesn't satisfy hunger at all.
Besides, even a big demon would be reluctant to eat them as jelly beans.
How luxurious this must be.
"The flesh and blood of a medium-level beast weighs about one thousand kilograms, and that of a low-level beast weighs about three thousand kilograms. If you use it sparingly and only maintain basic daily consumption, it can only be enough for more than half a month."
"But this quantity is simply not enough to break through to level eight. Level eight... it would be great if we could get the flesh and blood tissue of high-level monsters."
Su Changsheng withdrew his gaze from outside the door and began to calculate his family fortune in order to prepare for the next step in overcoming the shackles of the Seventh and Eighth.
It's just that it's very difficult to obtain the flesh and blood of high-level monsters. Ordinary high-level monsters simply don't dare to hunt such existences.
Generally speaking, the strength of low-level monsters corresponds to the low-level to mid-level monsters. Their strength ranges widely, and some ordinary first- and second-level monsters can easily handle them.
But there are also some that require a cluster of level 5 or 6 monsters to hunt.
As for the medium monsters, they are even stronger.
These guys often have one or two weird abilities that are difficult to understand, and the power of pollution is dozens to hundreds of times greater than the former.
Monsters at this level generally require level 7 monsters to directly suppress them with their demonic nature, and then quickly start hunting them without giving them time to attack.
For example, the human demon Su Changsheng encountered when he was promoted to level seven, and the black mist he encountered during the attack on the Underworld Palace in the underground city.
Both of them can be classified as medium-level monsters, but they produce almost no blood food. They are the type that all high-level monsters dislike hunting the most.
Extremely difficult to kill and thankless.
As for the high-level monsters, generally only the top level nine monsters, or even three great monsters, can hunt them.
Each one is very powerful. Once it appears, it will drastically affect the surrounding ecological environment. Its own powerful pollution characteristics will even create a steady stream of medium and low-level monsters.
Completely a kind of monster king.
However, within a thousand miles of the demon village, high-level monsters rarely appear. Even if they appear, they will be targeted by the demon village's senior leaders and hunted down quickly!
Don't give it any chance to grow.
The flesh, flesh, bones, and even every drop of blood on the body of these beings are extremely precious, and they are considered the best supplements for breaking through from level seven to level eight, and from level eight to level nine.
If there is any leakage in the demon market, it will not be robbed, and generally only barter is allowed.
One can imagine how valuable it is.
Therefore, for Su Changsheng, the idea of obtaining the flesh and blood of a high-level monster was completely unrealistic and he just thought about it.
Even if there is, I can't afford it.
The primary target must still be placed on the flesh and blood of medium-sized monsters.
"When you advance to level eight, the consumption is definitely not small, so you have to prepare as much as possible."
"But the current situation..."
Su Changsheng sighed secretly.
At present, the flesh and blood of medium-level monsters is also hard to find, and many high-level monsters have to go out to hunt in person.
Large monster groups like wolves and minions organized dozens of group hunts. However, after the floods, the surrounding resources were significantly reduced.
These monster groups have to risk going deeper into the wilderness, and losses are inevitable as they go back and forth.
Su Changsheng was also invited, but he declined on the grounds of alchemy.
…
I won’t mention my troubles for the time being.
Su Changsheng looked at his attribute panel. Carefully examine the harvest during this period.
Name: Su Changsheng
Race: green snake half-demon
Lifespan: 16/500

Talent: Small Poison Breath has a small score of 3000/10000, Candle Flame has a high score of 2800/20000.
Survival points: 5700
The panel is exceptionally gorgeous!
Looking around, there are almost all small successes, and occasionally there are big successes.
Among them, the shedding talisman, the hair removal talisman, and the hard-skin talisman had been ordered by him to the minor level as early as half a year ago.
However, although the promotion of the Three Talisman gave back a lot of the power of Talisman Dao, it was just the icing on the cake for Su Changsheng's current strength.
He paid more attention to the improved power of the three talismans.
After being promoted to a minor level, the effects of the three runes on refining blood essence, increasing the chance of shedding, etc. have been slightly increased.
But the effect is still not good.
Just dispensable.
As a high-level demon clan, the role of ordinary low-level runes is getting lower and lower, and they are like worthless food. It is a pity to discard them if they are tasteless.
As for upgrading the three talismans to Dacheng, Su Changsheng had basically not considered it.
Because the time, survival points, various costs, etc. are too large, it is not as cost-effective as practicing an intermediate rune again.
The latter, both in terms of its own effects and the foreseeable benefits, are far from comparable to those promoted to low-level runes.
Of course, except for special low-level runes.
For example, he also clicked on Xiao Cheng for the concealment talisman.
The hidden runes at the Xiaocheng level have better hiding, convergence, and resting effects and last longer.
Even for high-level monsters, if they don't burst out their monster energy with all their strength, they can still hide for a long time, which is very helpful for hunting and finding enemies.
In addition to the sorcery runes, the stone stacking technique and the banishment technique in the sorcery arts have also reached the level of minor achievements.
The former relied on stronger stone forging skills to achieve a small success in independent cultivation in only seven months, which is extremely fast.
This also caused Su Changsheng to gradually shrink in size. Up to now, it can basically maintain a height of about five meters, which has been compressed nearly four times.
You no longer have to worry about the wrong size or the size of the floor.
And because the body shape is compressed, the density of flesh, bones, internal organs, etc. has also increased a lot under the influence of the stone stacking technique.
This affected the overall defense of his demon body. At this moment, the defense of the demon body was more than twice as high as before.
The steel and iron bones are as if they were made in heaven.
After the body became smaller, whether it was flexibility, speed, or strength, it also improved accordingly.
Especially the power, which is more concentrated, and with the effect of breaking the surface, the destructive effect is also more obvious.
With an easy strike, the demon wind on the fist alone can make a harsh sonic boom sound.
The cries of ghosts and wolves are deafening.
In addition, there is also censure in the sorcery. This sorcery has produced very magical effects after being promoted to a minor level.
The magic mark condensed in the sea of consciousness has now dispersed into Su Changsheng's demonic wind.
As long as he does not deliberately turn off the banning effect, the demonic wind released will contain powerful coercion and deterrence effects.
Moreover, the shock effect of being reprimanded at the Xiaocheng level is more than a hundred times stronger than that of proficiency and proficiency.
Even a seventh-level demon clan would be disturbed in its actions when faced with the mental coercion inherent in Su Changsheng's demonic wind.
He was in a trance and his movements were stiff.
Different from low-level runes, for sorcery skills, the higher the level, the better the effect and the greater the power, and the benefits it brings are far from being comparable to that of a new skill.
Therefore, after reaching a certain level, the former can be slowly discarded and replaced, while the latter can be continued to be studied.
This is also consistent with the way to obtain survival points, which is basically the magic skills of iron and the magic runes of flowing water.
This is also the reason why Su Changsheng is very cautious when studying a magic technique. No matter how good a skill is, it cannot be used if it does not fit your own routine.
"There are also pills...this is the biggest gold-eating beast."
Su Changsheng looked at the column of magic pills, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
For nearly a year, he basically studied the knowledge of elixirs.
Not only were the animal skin scrolls rewarded by the Wolf King, he also acquired some privately.
He even asked Bai Cang to borrow a lot of relevant knowledge scrolls for him and other demon clans, and he owed a lot of 'favors' for this.
And the survival points invested are far more than 10,000. But even with such crazy investment, the elixir experience only reaches the entry level of 8900/10000.
Just a first glimpse of the door.
Haven't even broken through the first entry level yet.
Medicinal pills are different from sorcery runes and techniques. It can be said to be a systematic discipline.
For example, the magic elixir that has just begun to be glimpsed has ten branches under its command, including but not limited to: low-level spiritual plant processing, low-level monster identification, flesh and blood tissue processing, fire control, elixir compatibility, etc.
If you want to advance it from the initial level, you must upgrade all ten branches.
This is why Su Changsheng invested nearly 10,000 survival points but only had 8,900 pill experience.
Single types of witchcraft are completely different from comprehensive witchcraft.
"When you upgrade the level of elixirs, compared with the sorcery skills, the ratio of survival points used by the two is almost 100:1. Even in the wild world, we still can't get rid of the troubles of inflation."
"The money earned can never keep up with the depreciation rate, and no one can."
Su Changsheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Of course, even so.
But the benefits of being promoted to Alchemy are equally obvious.
At this moment, a large amount of knowledge has been accumulated in Su Changsheng's mind. This knowledge involves all aspects. For him, it is completely intangible wealth, which cannot be exchanged for any number of points of survival.
Arm your mind with knowledge and your chances of survival will be greatly increased.
Not to mention, relying on the three elixirs he refined, Su Changsheng had accumulated the three attributes of his spirit, energy, and spirit to the point where he could no longer make any progress in just eight or nine months.
This is all due to Alchemy.
Spending money on gold is fun for a while, and money on gold will always be fun.
This process of shortening one's realm by relying on a large amount of elixirs can only be enjoyed by those top demon clans.
After all, alchemy is a meticulous, systematic, and extremely complex job. At present, only the great demons can produce elixirs.
Because this process requires the cooperation of many monsters, it is too difficult to expect one monster to complete it alone.
Like Su Changsheng, he does almost everything by himself. From selecting spiritual plants, handling spiritual objects, controlling fire, etc., he does very little by himself.
Of course, he enjoys it.
This kind of acquiring knowledge bit by bit, strengthening oneself bit by bit, and making improvements visible to the naked eye are particularly sufficient.
Can't help but indulge in it.
The wilderness is vast, and knowledge is extremely precious. Most of it is blocked by high-level monsters, making it very difficult to obtain.
If he hadn't taken advantage of the Wolf King's gift of alchemy knowledge this time and sacrificed his face to ask other wolf demon clans and owed all kinds of favors, otherwise it would have been impossible to borrow these knowledge scrolls.
Therefore, such an opportunity that is rare but cannot be sought must be cherished. If he can, he can't wait to continue like this.
Of course, everything has its limits.
Even he is about to reach the limit of learning.
At the moment, I don’t even dare to learn new elixir recipes. After all, the new elixir recipes may involve more branches, which will greatly slow down the speed of alchemy promotion.
If you come across it, just buy it and save it. When you are promoted in the future and Alchemy reaches a higher level, you can study from a high altitude.
I guess it would be easier then.
"Based on the current speed and success rate of refining the three elixirs, one furnace can be obtained in about a week, and the three elixirs obtained will be about ten elixirs each."
"The energy and energy have been accumulated to the limit by myself. The three elixirs are no longer needed for the time being. Maybe you can consider taking out a little bit and buying some flesh and blood."
"And breaking through from level seven to level eight, the shackles of the realm are more difficult than I imagined. I have to bribe the monster who manages the knowledge scroll of the wolf pack to find a way to find out what level eight is."
A hint of gloom flashed in Su Changsheng's eyes.
I am not afraid that the elixirs I have made will be exposed. After all, some elixirs are occasionally made by 'chance', which is the state of most elixir researchers.
Of course he is no exception.
The main problem now is the shackles of promotion to the eighth level. This is the most difficult hurdle before him.
It can even be said to be a natural chasm.
In fact, the accumulation process from level 7 to level 8 is not difficult. As long as you find the right path, you can have a smooth journey.
Three kinds of elixirs are the way.
The elixir combined with various sorcery and skill breakthroughs, runes, talent promotions, etc. can allow him to accelerate the accumulation of the three attributes of spirit, energy and spirit.
As long as you are willing to spend money, going through this accumulation process in one year is not outrageous. Many pure-blood demon clans with rich families can do it.
The real difficulty is how to cross the threshold between level seven and level eight.
As the saying goes: three flowers at the seventh level, gathering at the top at the eighth level, and Chaoyuan at the ninth level.
At level eight, three flowers of essence, energy and spirit will bloom!
How to open it?
He has no clue!
