Wei Huo did not continue his journey after obtaining the two books. He waited at the entrance of the ruins for a while. He planned to wait for the items in the ruins to be refreshed.
Half a year later, the bronze door was refreshed. This time, Wei Huo put on his bronze armor, held Tiamat in his left hand, and held the bronze sword in his right. It took him 15 days to blast open the door.
Then, he entered the lowest level of the ruins and killed the giant crocodiles that had spawned. He arrived at the hall with the hidden treasure chests and realized that the three treasure chests had been refreshed again. The python was still there.
Wei Huo used the same method to kill the python. However, the Epic-ranked Bittertide Hydra appeared again. Wei Huo frowned. His main purpose of coming down this time was to observe if the Epic-ranked creature would respawn.
After all, Wei Huo had yet to reach the Epic stage despite being ahead for so many years. It did not make sense for other creatures to reach the Epic stage so quickly.
In the end, the Epic-ranked hydra respawned again. It looked like one of the small hydras that had escaped previously. On the surface, God could easily upgrade a creature to the Epic stage.
When Wei Huo killed the Epic-ranked hydra with great difficulty, the truth was revealed!
As the hydra's corpse was not recycled by the system, Wei Huo obtained the corpse of the hydra, which was full of treasures.
When Wei Huo was dissecting the hydra's corpse, he found a gem. Through the system interface, Wei Huo immediately understood what the gem was used for.
Soul Gems can increase one's soul strength after absorption. Note: Soul gems carry a lot of soul impurities. Absorbing them will cause immeasurable consequences.
Wei Huo did not dare absorb them rashly when he saw the word 'immeasurable'. However, he was sure that God had used this thing to forcefully increase the soul strength of a creature to the Epic stage. If that was the case, it would not be difficult for an Epic-ranked creature to be born within half a year.
Wei Huo searched the mall and found a Soul Millstone. He could grind soul gems with the millstone and obtain pure mental strength. He could then absorb mental strength without any pressure. However, the price of the Soul Millstone was 600,000 Magical Stones.
He could not afford it. He could not afford it.
Wei Huo put away the soul gem. He would absorb it when he found a safe way to absorb it.
Then, he went to open the three treasure chests. The three treasure chests still contained the same three items as before: Bronze Qi-Conducting Technique, Bronze Forging Technique, and Space Gourd.
These items refreshed every six months. That was why Wei Huo waited in place for three more years. He destroyed the bronze gate six times while wearing his bronze armor and collected the three items six times. He also collected six soul gems.
Both Wei Huo and Wei Sha learned two books. The two books would disappear as soon as they clicked to learn them. Then, two skills would appear on their bodies. One of them was the Bronze Qi-Conducting Skill, which was at Level 0, and the other was the Bronze Forging Skill, which was at Level 0.
The reason Wei Huo asked Wei Sha to learn it was so that she could help him when he was forging bronze items in the future. The bronze puppet and the bronze turret could only be manufactured after reaching level 15. It was another skill that required a long period of leveling. However, it was not a loss to be able to mass-produce such awesome items after reaching level 15. Wei Huo did not think that it would be a loss.
Wei Huo also let the rhinoceros learn the Bronze Qi-Conducting Skill. This was the only cultivation technique it could cultivate, and it was only because it was Rare-ranked and had a high Intelligence.
After three years of practice, the rhinoceros had already trained this skill to level 1. Its skin even had a little bronze color, and its defense and strength were several times higher than before.
The rhinoceros' skill had reached level 1, and its strength had increased. It did not find it difficult to carry the bronze armor and other large items. Otherwise, Wei Huo would have to carry all the large items alone.
Wei Huo handed the large items to the rhinoceros and threw the small items into the Mimic's mouth. He then carried the bronze cauldron. The bronze cauldron was not ordinary. Although he could not see its use, Wei Huo still felt like taking it away.
However, it was too heavy. Even the rhinoceros, which had practiced the Bronze Qi-Conducting Skill, could not carry it. Wei Huo could only carry it himself.
Along the way, Wei Huo kept thinking about the method to create an Epic-ranked creature. Before he left, Wei Huo had already used a scanner to scan the altar and coffin. However, the materials needed were too exaggerated.
Obsidian, Mithril, bronze, and the bones of Epic-ranked creatures were needed to build such an altar.
The coffin also needed Golden Snake Wood, gold, and bronze.
These materials could be bought in the mall, but they were too expensive!
That was why Wei Huo decided to continue heading west to see if he could find any new ruins. If he could not find them, he would sail west to the Western Continent and find a way to absorb soul gems.
At that moment, God's voice was heard again.
"The second test is over. All artificial intelligence is being recalled."
"The Divine Realm Trial is open. The Gods have appeared, and the Divine Envoys are descending."
As soon as God's voice disappeared, a dazzling light erupted from the eastern sky. The Divine Gate slowly appeared. Even though Wei Huo was far away, he could still see the Divine Gate.
Soon, countless divine lights soared into the sky from various continents and flew into the Divine Gate. Not a single one was missed.
In the end, the Divine Gate closed as if nothing had happened.
Did the second test last so long? It seemed like artificial intelligence had obtained the cave's inheritance and a Qi Cultivation scroll that could increase its lifespan.
There should be a third test, right? Wei Huo guessed. After all, game companies would conduct multiple tests when they created games before the time halt.
Wei Huo continued heading west. His speed was much slower because he was carrying the cauldron. However, as he carried the cauldron forward, Wei Huo realized that his Qi Cultivation Skill's experience value was increasing. That surprised Wei Huo.
Could this be considered a cultivation method?
Wei Huo was curious about this method, as he had been trying to create his own cultivation technique recently. Lu Qiqi had once improved her Qi Cultivation, Spirit Refinement, and Void Return. However, there were only Qi Cultivation scrolls now. He did not know when other scrolls would appear.
Wei Huo realized that he was still very weak. Although he was already very strong compared to ordinary people, he was still too weak compared to Gods and Immortals.
This was probably because he was still at the Qi Cultivation stage and had yet to Spirit Refinement. If humans were special because they had souls, Qi Cultivation alone would definitely not be enough.
As long as he learned how to Spirit Refinement, he should be able to absorb the mental strength in the soul gem. However, the problem was that God had not updated the Spirit Refinement cultivation technique.
