Having reaped considerable gains, Chen Mo bid farewell to Sun Wuhou and promptly returned to the guild headquarters.
After liquidating all his spoils from the Sea of Cosmos with the guild, Chen Mo was rewarded with over one hundred thousand Cosmic Source Crystals and more than 1000 guild points.
The guild's point system operates such that every 100 Cosmic Source Crystals traded equates to 1 guild point.
These accumulated guild points are of immense value, as numerous items within the guild possess specific guild point requirements.
Only by meeting these requisite guild point thresholds can one gain access to better resources from the guild's higher-tier warehouse.
Once the transactions for currency and guild points were finalized, Chen Mo immediately settled his previous debt by returning all the Cosmic Source Crystals the guild had advanced him.
Witnessing the substantial profits Chen Mo had achieved from a single expedition to the Sea of Cosmos, the guild's warehouse manager could not help but express his admiration, stating, "Truly, this is the result of top-tier growth potential. Your capability to harvest within the Sea of Cosmos is utterly beyond that of any ordinary newcomer."
"You flatter me, senior," Chen Mo replied humbly.
The manager continued, "While your initial strength is undeniably impressive, you must exercise extreme caution when selecting your next realm breakthrough as a Lord of the Cosmos. Avoid opting for unnecessarily high difficulty levels. Given your naturally superior initial growth attributes, successfully passing the Realm Breakthrough Assessment at even 50% of the fifth-tier standard would be an exceptional feat."
"I understand, and I appreciate your concern and sage advice, senior," Chen Mo responded.
"You possess the potential to become a pillar of this guild, perhaps even ascending to the position of guild leader in the future. I eagerly anticipate your continued development. Keep pushing forward," the manager encouraged.
After exchanging final pleasantries with the elder guild member, Chen Mo, now in possession of nearly seven hundred thousand Cosmic Source Crystals, made his way back to the bustling trading market.
His objective was to procure some cosmic secret treasures and empowerment stones. His plan was to utilize these items in tandem to maximize the capacity of the cosmic secret treasures under his control.
He casually selected and purchased two cosmic secret treasures with offensive capabilities.
Subsequently, he applied an empowerment stone to each of these treasures individually.
Through the application of these two empowerment stones, both cosmic secret treasures were elevated to the status of first-tier low-level cosmic secret treasures, each now endowed with two distinct abilities.
As Chen Mo proceeded to use a first-tier empowerment stone on them for a second time, a prompt from The Heavenly Path's Hint informed him that he would now require two empowerment stones to further enhance these already empowered cosmic secret treasures.
This indicated that not only did imbuing a cosmic secret treasure with multiple abilities necessitate considerable secret treasure source energy for subsequent tier upgrades, but it also demanded a significant quantity of empowerment stones for continued enhancement.
Observing this, Chen Mo paused his actions and decided against further synthesis for the moment.
He promptly initiated a series of calculations.
The synthesis process involved upgrading from low-level to intermediate-level, then from intermediate-level to high-level, and finally from high-level to top-notch.
The highest tier of cosmic secret treasures Chen Mo could currently utilize was a first-tier top-grade cosmic secret treasure.
Consequently, the total number of cosmic secret treasures he had acquired provided him with three opportunities for mutual synthesis.
This implied that a total of eight low-level cosmic secret treasures would be required.
Furthermore, the inheritance of secret treasure abilities post-synthesis remained an unpredictable factor.
In Chen Mo's previous synthesis attempts, where low-level cosmic secret treasures were merged into intermediate-level ones, there was no ability inheritance. This meant that when two low-level cosmic secret treasures combined, they simply formed a new intermediate-level cosmic secret treasure possessing only a single ability.
The same outcome occurred when synthesizing from intermediate-level to high-level.
However, the upgrade from high-level to a first-tier top-grade cosmic secret treasure resulted in the acquisition of two secret treasure abilities.
Based on this past experience, Chen Mo found it exceedingly difficult to predict how the Heavenly Dao would manage the retention of abilities from low-level cosmic secret treasures, especially if they already possessed multiple distinct powers.
He decided to commence an experiment immediately.
The two first-tier low-level cosmic secret treasures, which had just been empowered, now each boasted two secret treasure abilities.
Chen Mo proceeded to select these two treasures for synthesis.
Shortly after, Chen Mo obtained a first-tier intermediate-level cosmic secret treasure.
Significantly, this first-tier intermediate-level cosmic secret treasure retained both of the secret treasure abilities.
This outcome demonstrated that the synthesis of empowered first-tier low-level cosmic secret treasures yielded results consistent with previous syntheses of unempowered first-tier low-level cosmic secret treasures.
A first-tier low-level cosmic secret treasure without empowerment, when synthesized, resulted in a first-tier intermediate-level cosmic secret treasure with one ability, effectively combining one ability plus one ability into a single inherited power.
When several low-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier, each infused with a first-tier empowerment stone, were combined, the outcome was an intermediate-grade cosmic secret treasure of the first tier. This resulting treasure possessed two abilities from the initial components, plus an additional two, ultimately consolidating into a single item with two distinct abilities. What this meant, in essence, was that half of the original secret treasure's abilities were lost in the process. Consequently, initiating the synthesis process with low-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier became rather inefficient. It was even a surprisingly rapid realization. This was because when eight low-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier, empowered by stones, were used for synthesis, the final result yielded four intermediate-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier (equivalent to those empowered by stones) and two high-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier (also equivalent to those empowered by stones). Wasn't this simply a massive waste? What could have been achieved with two empowerment stones now inexplicably required eight. It would be far more prudent to directly acquire two high-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier and then utilize empowerment stones on them to augment their abilities. This approach would yield the greatest profit from the synthesis. Thus, by using merely two empowerment stones, one could acquire two high-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier, each possessing two abilities. Upon synthesizing these first-tier high-grade cosmic secret treasures into top-grade cosmic secret treasures of the first tier, they would retain all of their inherent abilities. Through this method of synthesis, a treasure armed with four abilities could be obtained.
