After finishing his conversation with Jin Xuan, Xiao Mo began to inventory the supplies from the conquest of the Elven Kingdom.
It had to be said that the Elven Kingdom, as the second-largest kingdom-level power in the Endless Abyss region, possessed formidable wealth.
This time, they had acquired three hundred thousand eight hundred and sixty Immortal-Demonic Stones, six thousand five hundred Soul Crystals, one thousand Spirit Stones, and nearly two hundred various blueprints.
As for equipment, they obtained around one hundred thousand sets, similar to the spoils from defeating the Goblin Kingdom.
Most of these resources came from the Elven Kingdom's treasury, with only a small portion being battlefield spoils.
Unlike the Goblin Kingdom, whose king had been inclined to surrender, leading to less intense resistance, the Elven Kingdom fought with their lives from the very beginning. It wasn't until Xiao Mo subdued Queen Loffie that the Elven Kingdom submitted.
However, during this period, nearly one hundred thousand elves had perished, making the battle exceptionally fierce.
Xiao Mo glanced at the reserves in his bracelet. He had two million five hundred eighty-four thousand one hundred Immortal-Demonic Stones, a total of twelve thousand three hundred and twenty Soul Crystals, and one thousand four hundred and twenty Spirit Stones.
With over ten thousand Soul Crystals and Immortal-Demonic Stones far exceeding the required one million, the Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool could finally be upgraded to Level Seven.
Previously, Xiao Mo's intention was to upgrade the Reincarnation Pool after defeating the allied forces. However, he now saw no need for such a delay.
Even after the upgrade, he would still have over a million Immortal-Demonic Stones remaining, which was more than enough. Furthermore, the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City had remained airborne for so long, accumulating a significant amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy reserves of the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City had been solely responsible for the travel between the Goblin and Elven Kingdoms during these two wars.
With this in mind, Xiao Mo walked directly to the plaza and approached the Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool.
"Immediately upgrade the Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool?"
"Yes" "No"
Xiao Mo decisively chose "Yes," and the Reincarnation Pool was immediately enveloped in a golden light.
Upgrading the Reincarnation Pool to Level Seven would take approximately forty minutes. Therefore, Xiao Mo took out all the blueprints.
In total, there were one hundred and ninety-six blueprints. Ninety of them were unknown, while the rest were directly dropped.
After identifying all ninety unknown blueprints, Xiao Mo discovered that most of them were for buildings, with only a small portion being special blueprints.
Among them, there were twenty-three "Troop Evolution Blueprints," eight "Initial Troop Expansion Blueprints," three "Skill Cultivation Blueprints," and five equipment blueprints.
The remaining were various building blueprints, such as "Hut Blueprint," "Spacious Manor Blueprint," "Forge Blueprint," "Watchtower Blueprint," and "City Defense Ballista Blueprint," among others.
These blueprints were relatively easy to handle. Those that were useful would be constructed immediately, while those that were not would be put up for sale. After all, there was always a demand for these blueprints, and they could be used to exchange for Immortal-Demonic Stones or Soul Crystals.
However, among these building blueprints, Xiao Mo discovered one that was quite different, a type he had never encountered before.
"Advanced Building Blueprint - Moat"
"Usable Times: Two"
"Minimum Usage Restriction: Small City"
"Effect 1: Significantly enhances the defensive capabilities of the territory's city."
"Effect 2: Significantly increases the loyalty of local forces or intelligent beings."
"Effect 3: Significantly boosts the loyalty of territorial residents."
"Effect 4: Has a chance to attract merchants from the central human empire."
"Construction Requirements: 40,000 units of wood, 15,000 units of stone, 8,000 units of iron essence."
Upon reading the detailed information of this blueprint, Xiao Mo's heart leaped with joy. This was something he had desired for a long time.
He had previously planned to have Mu Ya use her rule-based abilities to create a moat directly. He never expected to find a moat blueprint now, which would save a great deal of effort.
A moat could enhance a territory's city defense to a certain extent, and a city with a moat could be considered a true city, not far from becoming a main city.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo handed the moat blueprint to Mu Ya, instructing her to build it. He then began to sort through the special blueprints.
In addition to the newly identified special blueprints, Xiao Mo also possessed special blueprints obtained as spoils of war.
Among them, there were a total of seventy-four "Troop Evolution Blueprints" and twelve "Initial Troop Expansion Blueprints."
These blueprints were mostly acquired during these two wars.
When the territorial army was still out, Xiao Mo had collected them, but he hadn't had the chance to use them on his subordinate troops. Now that the army had fully returned, it was time to put them to use.
First, Xiao Mo selected ten Immortal-Demonic troops for evolution, distributing seven blueprints to each, with most receiving one "Advanced Troop Evolution Blueprint," thus ensuring a high chance of successful evolution.
As the ten Immortal-Demonic troops went for evolution, the golden light shrouding the Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool gradually dissipated.
The changes to the Reincarnation Pool after the upgrade were as significant as ever. The most noticeable was its diameter, which had now grown to over a hundred meters, resembling a large circular pond.
The water within the pool remained divided into two halves, one dark red and the other golden yellow, appearing eerie yet exuding a dense aura of sanctity and chilling cold.
Next, the Immortal-Demonic double-sided statue now appeared even more lifelike. If it weren't for its stationary posture, Xiao Mo would have believed it to be a true Immortal or Demon.
As Xiao Mo looked at the statue, the familiar interface appeared before his eyes.
"Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool: Unique Troop Building"
"Current Level: Seven"
"Daily Troop Reincarnation Capacity: 128"
"Next Level Upgrade Requirements: Ten million Immortal-Demonic Stones, one hundred thousand Soul Crystals"
"PS: Level Seven Immortal-Demonic Reincarnation Pool has a fifty percent chance of reincarnating special or high-grade Immortals and Demons."
Upon reading this information, Xiao Mo's face lit up with excitement. This day had finally arrived. The Reincarnation Pool had been upgraded to Level Seven, allowing for the reincarnation of more Immortal-Demonic troops daily.
Furthermore, the chance of reincarnating high-grade or special Immortals and Demons had increased to fifty percent, meaning that from now on, approximately every two reincarnations would yield a special Immortal-Demon or a Heaven-rank or higher Immortal-Demon.
This was undoubtedly excellent news for Xiao Mo.
However, upon seeing the upgrade requirements for the next level, Xiao Mo felt his head spin.
Reaching Level Seven had been an arduous task, requiring the near-destruction of all kingdom-level forces in the Endless Abyss region to amass over two million Immortal-Demonic Stones.
The next level required ten million, which meant how many more kingdom-level powers would need to be annihilated to achieve this?
The thought alone made Xiao Mo feel like crying. Being a lord was truly not easy...
