This thing was an ancient supreme treasure. He never expected it to appear at an auction, which was exactly why he had gone all out to bid on it. If he had let the Nightmare Demon Pot slip through his fingers, he would have regretted it to no end.
Nie Li ran his right hand over the Nightmare Demon Pot and channeled a wisp of Soul Power into it.
The Nightmare Demon Pot suddenly blazed with radiance, forming an inexplicable link with Nie Li. As for the pot's functions, Nie Li had only the faintest understanding of them — he would need to study it much further.
One of the Nightmare Demon Pot's functions was that if ten Demon Spirits of the same attribute were placed inside it and refined simultaneously, there was a certain probability of producing a far more powerful Demon Spirit. Of course, there was also a chance of failure.
Nie Li had purchased so many Demon Spirits precisely because he wanted to refine a stronger one!
"I already have an assassin-type Demon Spirit. What I need most urgently right now is a berserker-type Demon Spirit capable of going head-to-head against opponents!" Nie Li thought to himself. He had bought over two thousand berserker Demon Spirits, and he wondered whether that would be enough to produce a single powerful berserker Demon Spirit.
Each Demon Spirit was classified according to the strength of its soul before death — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black Gold, Legendary, and so on. These were the rating standards of the
At the same time, certain special Demon Spirits tended to possess far greater growth potential than ordinary ones. Nie Li's Shadow Demon Spirit was a prime example!
Nie Li divided Demon Spirit growth potential into five tiers: Low-Grade, Common, Excellent, Outstanding, and God-Grade. The Shadow Demon Spirit was unquestionably a species with God-Grade growth potential — its power had no upper limit.
Ordinary people had no idea how to gauge a Demon Spirit's growth potential. Only Nie Li knew. Just as humans could measure Soul Power, a Demon Spirit's growth potential could also be measured with a Soul Crystal — only the method of assessment differed.
The second Demon Spirit he fused would have a very far-reaching impact, so of course Nie Li had to choose carefully. Even if he couldn't obtain one with God-Grade growth potential, he at least needed an Outstanding-grade one — otherwise, it would hardly justify the hefty price he'd paid for the Nightmare Demon Pot!
Nie Li took out ten Demon Spirit Stones and used Soul Crystals to test the grades of these ten Demon Spirits.
"Scattered soul cloud — Low-Grade Demon Spirit!"
"Scattered soul cloud — Low-Grade Demon Spirit!"
"Scattered soul cloud — Low-Grade Demon Spirit!"
"Incomplete soul cloud — Common-grade Demon Spirit!"
…
Nie Li quickly finished testing all ten Demon Spirits. Seven were Low-Grade and three were Common-grade. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
"Figures that picking out one with high growth potential from ordinary Demon Spirits would be this difficult!" Nie Li thought with a frown. Finding a Demon Spirit with God-Grade growth potential like the Shadow Demon Spirit was far too hard — otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life entering the Ancient Lan City ruins back then.
But even these Demon Spirits, which Nie Li considered practically trash, would be treated as priceless treasures if ordinary people got their hands on them.
Nie Li placed all ten Demon Spirits into the Nightmare Demon Pot and channeled his Soul Power to activate it!
Instantly, the Nightmare Demon Pot began to flash continuously, radiating dazzling beams of otherworldly light. Ripples of luminous energy flowed within, and Nie Li could see the ten spirits spinning around before slowly merging together.
