In nine days, the Immortal Demon squad had grown to thirty.
Whether venturing out for hunts or returning to the city, their movements were grand and imposing.
It was believed that before long, the Immortal Demon squad would truly become an Immortal Demon legion.
"Master!"
After the Immortal Demon soldiers had thrown the carcasses of the demonic beasts they dragged onto the plaza.
Led by Mo Jingjing and Xian Qing'er, they approached Xiao Mo and bowed respectfully.
In the eyes of all the Immortal Demon soldiers, a fervent glow flickered.
In their hearts, Xiao Mo was their supreme faith, the object of their eternal pursuit.
Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, then dismissed the other soldiers, keeping only Mo Jingjing, Xian Qing'er, and Xian Meng'er.
He then retrieved the [Evolution Blueprint] from the warehouse.
"This is an Evolution Blueprint. It can help you evolve your initial tier, improving your growth potential."
"Take a look and see what your chances of evolution are with this blueprint."
Xiao Mo first handed the blueprint to Xian Qing'er, as she was the first choice for evolution.
When the three female Immortal Demon soldiers heard Xiao Mo's announcement, their faces clearly showed excitement.
After all, this was a blueprint that could enhance growth potential.
For all Immortal Demon soldiers, once their strength reached its full growth, it was difficult to advance further.
The potential of each Immortal Demon soldier varied; even if their initial tiers were the same, their potential might not be.
Potential was inherent, and very difficult to change.
Take Xian Meng'er, the Xuan-tier Immortal clan warrior, for example.
Her true strength, after fully growing, should be at the peak of the Jun-tier.
Although she could eventually break through the limitations of the Saint-tier through effort, with her potential, after reaching the mid-Saint tier, advancing further would become extremely difficult.
Now, something that could alter their own potential had appeared, making it impossible for the three of them not to be excited.
In truth, it wasn't just the Immortal Demon soldiers who were like this.
All lords' soldiers were the same.
In fact, for soldiers of many lords, after reaching their complete growth, advancing further was almost impossible, unless they encountered some extraordinary fortune.
Therefore, the importance and preciousness of this [Evolution Blueprint] were exceptionally significant.
Xian Qing'er respectfully took the blueprint from Xiao Mo's hand.
While her expression was somewhat calm, her heart was immensely excited.
In her beautiful eyes, excitement shimmered.
If this blueprint allowed her to evolve successfully, she would become a Di-tier auxiliary Immortal clan general.
Her original potential could only carry her to the peak of the Saint-tier, but if the evolution succeeded, the Divine-tier was within reach!
Xian Qing'er carefully examined the runes on the blueprint, then extended her divine sense into it.
A moment later, she withdrew her divine sense, looking somewhat unsatisfied, with a hint of disappointment on her face.
"Master, this blueprint is not suitable for me."
"It can indeed help me evolve my initial tier and improve my potential, but the success rate is too low, less than twenty percent."
"Twenty percent?"
Upon hearing Xian Qing'er's words, Xiao Mo's brow furrowed slightly.
He had initially envisioned a standard of sixty percent. He hadn't expected that even for Xian Qing'er, the success rate would be so low.
"However, even if the evolution fails, it is not without gain."
"This blueprint also possesses the ability to solidify the evolver's foundation after failure, accumulating some groundwork for the evolver when breaking through limits," Xian Qing'er added.
Hearing this, Xiao Mo finally relaxed a little.
At least it wouldn't be a complete waste. Even if the evolution failed, it would still serve some purpose.
He then handed the blueprint to Mo Jingjing.
After examining it, Mo Jingjing's expression became even more disappointed.
Her success rate was only ten percent.
Helplessly, Xiao Mo handed the blueprint to Xian Meng'er.
This time, Xian Meng'er's face showed surprise and joy.
"Master, my evolution success rate is forty percent!"
Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow, unwilling to accept this, and called Xian Yi and Xian Er over.
The evolution success rate for these two Immortal Demon warriors directly increased to sixty percent.
This meant that if this blueprint were used on Xian Yi, Xian Er, and other Immortal Demon warriors, the success rate would be more than half.
Now, Xiao Mo had to believe the statement in the blueprint's information.
The higher the initial tier, the lower the evolution success rate.
Conversely, the lower the initial tier, the higher the evolution success rate.
The success rate for each tier differed by approximately twenty percent.
The reason for the mere ten percent difference between Xian Qing'er and Mo Jingjing was because Xian Qing'er was a special Immortal clan warrior, far more powerful than ordinary Immortal clan warriors.
Therefore, her true initial tier should be between a Xuan-tier warrior and a Di-tier general.
"There is only one Evolution Blueprint. You decide who will use it for evolution."
Xiao Mo handed the blueprint to the three female soldiers and continued,
"Even if the evolution is unsuccessful, it's alright. This is just a low-level Evolution Blueprint, and we will obtain more mid-level and high-level Evolution Blueprints in the future."
"You will all have opportunities to evolve!"
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, the three Immortal Demon soldiers bowed respectfully in unison.
"Thank you, Master!"
After some discussion, they ultimately decided to have Xian Meng'er undergo the evolution.
After all, the success rate for the other two was too low. It wasn't guaranteed to fail, but the failure rate was as high as eighty to ninety percent.
Xian Meng'er had the highest success rate. Moreover, after a successful evolution, the Immortal Demon squad would gain another Di-tier Immortal clan general.
Therefore, it was most suitable for Xian Meng'er to use the blueprint for evolution.
As for evolving the other Huang-tier Immortal Demon soldiers, Xiao Mo decided to temporarily forgo it.
After all, with only one blueprint, the cost-effectiveness of evolving Huang-tier soldiers was too low.
If he could obtain a large number of low-level Evolution Blueprints in future battles, Xiao Mo would use them on these soldiers.
But for now, it was most suitable to use it on Xian Meng'er.
...
Following the blueprint's instructions, Xian Meng'er went directly to the Immortal Demon sculpture and sat down to meditate.
Subsequently, the [Evolution Blueprint] slowly floated in front of Xian Meng'er.
At the same time, the blueprint emitted a golden light that shone upon the Immortal Demon sculpture.
The next moment, the side of the Immortal Demon sculpture representing the Immortal clan glowed with a milky white light, gradually enveloping Xian Meng'er.
The blueprint then dissipated into thin air.
Within the milky white light sphere, only Xian Meng'er's figure was hazy, and the scene inside was completely indistinguishable.
Xiao Mo, Mo Jingjing, and Xian Qing'er watched with anticipation.
As long as Xian Meng'er could successfully evolve, their Immortal Demon squad would gain a Di-tier Immortal clan general.
Then, the strength of the Immortal Demon squad would significantly increase again, and they would be more adept at dealing with the myriad crises that would begin tomorrow.
Just then, fierce beast roars suddenly erupted from outside the territory.
It seemed as if something had disturbed the demonic beast army in the dark night sky...
