Refining the Key of God required one hundred Blood Crystals.
So the 113 Blood Crystals obtained from Wang Junjie were more than enough.
The player in the previous life who discovered that Blood Crystals could be used to refine the Key of God and activate the Rare Hidden Dungeon [Divine Tomb] was truly a genius.
Of course, thanks to that player, Lin Mo knew that although Blood Crystals looked like crystals on the outside, blood was sealed inside them.
However, because they had been buried underground in the Blood Mine for too long, the blood inside normal Blood Crystals had long since settled into "dead blood."
If Blood Crystals were to be used to refine the Key of God, the blood inside had to be replaced with "living blood".
After all, it was the exclusive activation key for the Rare Hidden Dungeon Divine Tomb.
So replacing the blood was not that easy.
By killing monsters, players could obtain living blood from the monsters and use it to replace the dead blood inside the Blood Crystals.
However, if it was to be used to refine the Key of God, the blood used in each Blood Crystal had to be at least from a Leader-grade monster.
And living blood would only remain active for twenty-four hours before turning back into dead blood.
Which meant:
To complete the blood replacement for one hundred Blood Crystals and then use them to refine the Key of God, one had to kill one hundred Leader-grade monsters or Boss-grade monsters within twenty-four hours.
For ordinary players, it was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
After all, Leader monsters and Boss monsters had always belonged to the strong.
Not to mention that ordinary players had difficulty even finding Leader monsters and Boss monsters. Even if they found them, they might not be able to claim them.
And it wasn't just one.
It was one hundred.
Because of this, the player from Lin Mo's previous life who discovered this secret wasn't even an ordinary player, but a big boss who owned companies in the real world. Yet in the end, he still failed to complete the Blood Crystal blood replacement mission.
And he was unwilling to share the opportunity with others.
As a result, it wasn't until the journey through the second-tier main cities ended and players had generally reached the first-tier main cities that he finally revealed the secret of the Rare Hidden Dungeon [Divine Tomb].
Fortunately, Lin Mo knew this secret in this life and for Lin Mo, he had plenty of methods and resources to handle it.
Without another word, Lin Mo directly opened the Inferno City chat channel.
Spending one gold coin, he sent a pinned message.
[Silver · Supreme Lord · Rulebound (Lv61 Third-Turn Soul Archer · Rank #1 on the Heavenly Ranking): "100,000 for Leader monsters; 500,000 for Bosses Tier 3 and below; 2 million for Tier 4 Bosses; 5 million for Tier 5 Bosses."]
Actually, this task was easy to complete by simply spending money to buy Bosses.
Unfortunately, the big boss from the previous life hadn't thought of that, ultimately missing out on the Rare Hidden Dungeon Divine Tomb.
Though it was understandable.
Even if he had thought of it, not only would he have needed to spend huge amounts of money buying Bosses, but he also had to worry about other guilds stealing the Bosses after he'd paid for them.
Lin Mo didn't have that concern.
Since entering Divine Oracle, he hadn't even focused entirely on making money, yet he had already easily earned 300 million.
The prices he offered for these Bosses were based on their actual value. Even if he lost money, the losses would be minimal.
Besides...
"As long as I can complete the blood replacement for one hundred Blood Crystals, refine the Key of God, and activate the Divine Tomb dungeon, the rewards from this Rare Hidden Dungeon alone will earn me quite a bit."
Lin Mo still remembered that the Elite Hidden Dungeon Shadow Holy Hall in Blazing Ember City had earned him thirty to forty million.
This Rare Hidden Dungeon should at least make him one small goal, right?
As for the issue of Bosses being stolen, Lin Mo worried even less.

With that level of strength and status, players everywhere were still looking for chances to get on Lin Mo's good side.
Who would dare steal Lin Mo's Bosses?
So as soon as Lin Mo's pinned message was sent, his private messages exploded.
[Earth Axe (Male, Lv54 Third-Turn Berserker): "Brother! I've got a Tier 4 Lion King Boss here right now. I don't want your money. Just switch over to my Axe Gang Guild, and I'll send you the coordinates. The Boss is yours for free."]
[Cross-Dressing Boss (Male, Lv52 Third-Turn Healer): "Boss, I'll help you find Leader monsters. Can you carry me? Little brother can do anything! Anything at all!"]
[Help Brother Get In (Female, Lv53 Third-Turn Fantasy Mage): "Big brother~ I don't have a Boss, but I can become one! If you give me one million, I can become your exclusive little kitty Boss. Meow~"]
Automatically filtering out all the useless flirting and pickup messages, Lin Mo focused on the players who genuinely wanted to sell Bosses and Leader monsters. He replied to their messages, sent them a 10% deposit, and obtained their locations.
Then, Lin Mo took Ning Xi's hand and said, "Come on. Let's go farm some reputation for you."
"Okay!"
———
Meanwhile, Wang Junjie had just led the Chaotic World Guild members out of the Blood Mine.
Beside him, Zhuge Jie said, "Brother Jie, Rulebound posted a city-wide high-price Boss purchasing notice."
When Wang Junjie heard this, his eyes lit up, "What a great opportunity."
"Pass the order. Everyone go find Bosses and send their locations to Rulebound when you find them!"
"And remember, don't ask him for money. Come to me for the Boss payment."
The surrounding Chaotic World Guild players responded in unison, "Yes, Brother Jie!"
———
[Inferno City]
Whoosh!
A beam of white light descended.
Ling Xue logged in.
Her appearance and presence immediately drew the attention of many passing players nearby.
Already used to it, Ling Xue ignored the looks from others and focused entirely on the messages in the "F5" group chat.
Lin Miaomiao: "Sister Ling, Lin Mo is buying Bosses across the entire city. Should we mobilize some people to help him search for Bosses too?"
Looking at the message, Ling Xue replied in the group, "No need. Just send people to follow Lin Mo and protect him, in case other guilds try to steal his Bosses."
Ling Xue: "Also, contact all the Boss sellers and tell them to collect payment from me."
Lin Miaomiao: "Understood."
He Xiao: "President Ling is so generous. I'll go buy a few Bosses too. Can President Ling reimburse me as well?"
Zhao Jun: "@He Xiao. When Lin Mo farms Bosses, he's maximizing his growth and becoming even stronger. When you farm Bosses, you're just wasting resources. You can't even handle regular monsters properly and you're talking about Bosses."
Sun Yang: "That's brutal!"
———
Following the coordinates sent by the various sellers, Lin Mo and Ning Xi began their Boss-hunting journey.
They had done something similar once before in Blazing Ember City.
Back then, it was purely to farm reputation for Ning Xi.
This time, while solving the Blood Crystal problem, they could also farm reputation for Ning Xi.
Killing two birds with one stone.
After all, they were about to challenge the Tenth Hall of the Yama Hall.
If Lin Mo's prediction was correct and the Tenth Hall's reward was truly SSS-rank, then Ning Xi's tenfold reward amplification would definitely require a huge amount of reputation.
The one million reputation she currently had was probably nowhere near enough.
So letting her accumulate more reputation in advance was necessary.
With his full set of Level 50 Tier 5 gold-grade Illusion World · Thunder equipment, a complete set of SSS-rank skills, and the SS-rank Black Dragon Clan divine artifact Black Dragon Emperor Ring, against such overwhelming power, there wasn't a single Boss Lin Mo couldn't deal with.
More accurately, not a single Boss could survive in Lin Mo's hands for longer than one minute.
Leader Monsters: Killed in 1 Second!
Tier 2 Bosses: Killed in 5 Seconds!
Tier 3 Bosses: Killed in 10 Seconds!
Tier 4 Bosses: Killed in 30 Seconds!
[Ding~ Congratulations! You and player Liuli have jointly killed the Level 56 Tier 3 Boss Griffin Commander. EXP +8 million, Reputation +300 (includes 100% bonus from the gold title World Famous)!]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You and player Liuli have jointly killed the Level 54 Tier 2 Boss Three-Headed Fire Serpent. EXP +4 million, Reputation +200!]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You and player Liuli have jointly killed the Level 60 Tier 4 Boss Golden Skeleton King. EXP +27 million, Reputation +500!]
Lin Mo and Ning Xi were killing Bosses nonstop.
And Inferno City was in an uproar.
