After reviewing the information about the [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool], Xiao Mo turned his gaze to the twin statues of immortals and demons beside him.
Compared to when they first appeared, these statues had undergone a significant transformation. Xiao Mo eagerly anticipated what surprises the statues would bring him once they fully opened their eyes.
After a glance, Xiao Mo walked to the open space in the plaza.
The [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool] had finished upgrading, and he only needed to wait until tomorrow morning for new immortal and demon troops to be reborn. As for the requirements for upgrading the Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool to level six, Xiao Mo didn't even dare to think about it. One hundred thousand Immortal Demon Stones and one thousand Soul Crystals... the base number was simply too exaggerated. It was a tenfold increase compared to the requirements for upgrading to level five.
In the [Queen Elf's Bracelet], there were only over nine thousand Immortal Demon Stones left, and a solitary Soul Crystal. This reserve was no different from starting from scratch. At least for the short term, he couldn't think about upgrading the Reincarnation Pool to level six. Unless his luck exploded and he encountered another large-scale war, such as another beast tide war, or went to war with the Dwarf Kingdom, or exterminated and subdued the Black Blood Dragon Python's nest, etc.
However, given the current situation, such large-scale wars were simply impossible. But Xiao Mo was not in a hurry. He could predict that among all the territorial forces, his troop buildings should have the highest level. Based on previous situations, most territories' troop buildings were still generally at level three. Perhaps a few top lords had managed to upgrade their troop buildings to level four, but that was only a very small number of elite lords.
Currently, besides Xiao Mo himself, no one else could upgrade their troop buildings to level five. This was not him being arrogant or self-willed, but because the demand for Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals for upgrading troop buildings was almost an insurmountable chasm for the vast majority of lords at this stage. Upgrading from level three to level four required five thousand Immortal Demon Stones and fifty Soul Crystals. Immortal Demon Stones were manageable, but the drop rate of Soul Crystals was truly troublesome. The stronger a territory's overall strength, the higher the level of demonic beasts required to have a chance of dropping Soul Crystals. As for the small fry, they could at most yield Immortal Demon Stones.
Especially on the [Myriad Races Trading Platform], Soul Crystals were sold at sky-high prices. Among the billions of lords, those truly capable of affording them were definitely few and far between. This was why Xiao Mo believed that the number of lords capable of upgrading their troop buildings to level four at this stage was definitely not many. And his [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool] had already reached level five, allowing him to reincarnate thirty-two immortal and demon troops daily.
So, why would he be in a hurry? The most pressing thing he needed to do now was to proceed steadily, develop the strength of the Immortal Demon Tribe step by step, and expand the scale of the Immortal Demon battle team. Then, he would find the right opportunity to start launching attacks on the indigenous forces in the Endless Abyss region. As he exterminated these indigenous forces one by one, Immortal Demon Stones and Soul Crystals would naturally flow in continuously. Then, would he still worry about not being able to upgrade the [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool] to level six?
Besides, with such enormous demand, even one or two large-scale wars would not be enough, so there was no point in rushing.
...
Walking to the open space in the plaza, Xiao Mo took out another light gold blueprint. He had obtained two blueprints in total after killing sixteen Black Blood Dragon Pythons. One was the [Territory Building Upgrade Blueprint] which he had just used to upgrade the [Immortal Demon Sacred Hall] to the [Immortal Demon Ancestral Hall]. The remaining one was naturally the [Intermediate Initial Troop Expansion Blueprint].
Xiao Mo had used [Troop Expansion Blueprints] a total of two times, and both were low-level. Even so, he had expanded by sixteen immortal and demon troops once, and eight immortal and demon troops the second time. Now, this was an intermediate blueprint, so even if it expanded a random number of troops, as long as his luck wasn't so bad that he'd choke on water, the number of troops expanded would definitely be more than the previous two times. Therefore, Xiao Mo was also very much looking forward to this [Intermediate Initial Troop Expansion Blueprint] bringing him a pleasant surprise.
With this thought, Xiao Mo did not hesitate at all and directly chose to use it immediately.
The next moment, the blueprint disappeared. Immediately after, a dazzling golden and red light slowly rose, forming a Tai Chi pattern like a giant millstone in front of Xiao Mo. Soon, one by one, brilliant light orbs flew out from the Tai Chi pattern. Golden light orbs, red light orbs, one after another, suspended around Xiao Mo. This process continued for a long time, only stopping completely when the Tai Chi pattern gradually dissipated.
At this point, there were four neat rows of light orbs suspended around Xiao Mo, totaling thirty-two. In other words, this blueprint directly expanded the number of troops reincarnated by the level five [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool] once.
However, Xiao Mo still curled his lips, seemingly a little dissatisfied. "Looks like my luck today is a bit low!" After all, a low-level troop expansion blueprint had expanded sixteen troops at once. Logically speaking, the drop rate for an intermediate blueprint was much more difficult than a low-level blueprint. The expansion function should not just have doubled. Therefore, Xiao Mo felt that his luck today had probably been used up. Now, he could only hope that the levels of these immortal and demon troops would not be too poor, and that there would be more special immortals and demons or high-level immortals and demons.
Just as Xiao Mo was mumbling to himself, the thirty-two light orbs suspended around him shattered one after another. Subsequently, sixteen immortal and sixteen demon troops, respectively, appeared before Xiao Mo.
Ignoring the salutes of these immortal and demon troops, Xiao Mo's primary focus was naturally on their information. However, after a brief inspection, Xiao Mo felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his hand and slap his right cheek. "You damn fool! You can't keep things hidden! What kind of luck is this!" "Regretting it now! Damn it! Thirty-two immortal and demon troops in total! And not a single Earth-grade general!"
Xiao Mo truly regretted it. Knowing the outcome, he would have kept the blueprint for a while before using it; perhaps the effect would have been much better than now. He now strongly suspected that perhaps he had been too smooth sailing all the way, so heaven was displeased with him and wanted to tease him deliberately this once. In Xiao Mo's initial expectation, with so many immortal and demon troops, the possibility of having an Earth-grade general was relatively high. Not many, but at least one or two should have been fine, he wasn't asking for any special immortals or demons.
But reality had delivered a crushing blow. Of the thirty-two immortal and demon troops, thirteen were Profound-grade Immortal Demon Warriors, and the remaining nineteen were all Yellow-grade Immortal Demon Warriors.
"Sigh..."
Xiao Mo sighed helplessly, and in the end, could only console his wounded heart with the large number of Immortal Demon Warriors. Subsequently, Xiao Mo assigned all of them to Xian Qing'er and Mo Wuxin.
Thus, the total scale of the Immortal Demon battle team had reached one hundred and twenty-two. The troops in the two squads were roughly around sixty each. From today onwards, the Immortal Demon battle team finally had the rudimentary form of an Immortal Demon Legion. The Immortal Demon Legion would ultimately be the main force for the Immortal Demon Tribe to conquer various forces in the competition among myriad races. Especially the Immortal Demon Legion, once it grew, it would surely make all enemies tremble in fear!
