Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 96: Tianshan Incident is Over, Moon Moth Phoenix
"As expected, there are celestial species here!" Bai Jue looked at the snow-swept path in front of him with a smile on his face.

Not only are they heavenly seeds, but there are two of them. They are the source of the Dead Wasteland Wind and the Dead Ice Silk, and are one of the reasons why the Ice Mark is so dangerous.

However, what was a bit tricky was that the two heavenly seeds were entangled together, and their power overlapped. Even Bai Jue, who had drunk the potion, found it difficult to get close.

The most crucial point is that the two are entangled and overlapping and incompatible, always maintaining their own purity. If you collect them rashly, it is very likely that the two heavenly seeds will no longer be pure, and the quality will be reduced or even downgraded!
'Bai Jue' fell down at this time, and he easily collected the two with a flip of his hand. With his absolute strength, the two heavenly seeds were not affected at all.

The space changed, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Jue and Apas reappeared on the Tianhuang Ice Ridge, and the Tianshan Holy Lotus had been taken away by Bai Jue.

Heavy snow began to fall in the white crystal-like world. In just a few minutes, the ice ground as clean as glass was covered with a layer of soft snow, which made a crackling sound when stepped on.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the entire sky was covered in white. From the initial deep sapphire blue sky to only being able to see snowflakes falling hurriedly, gradually even the cold icebergs in the distance disappeared, covered by such white snow.

Apas looked at Bai Jue's face. This was the first time she saw Bai Jue's 'other side'. He looked the same as Bai Jue, but his temperament was a little more gloomy and lifeless. It was indeed better to see the living Bai Jue!

"The mountain will be closed and heavy snow is coming. It's time for us to leave." Bai Jue said to Apas. The purpose of this trip to Tianshan Mountains was fully accomplished, and there were some unexpected gains.

"The mountain is closed due to heavy snow? But isn't it almost June now? The snow should have melted..." Apas was stunned when he heard Bai Jue's words.

"When an individual becomes strong enough, it is not difficult to influence the celestial phenomena. The heavy snow covering the mountain is a proactive measure taken by the White Tiger of Tianshan to protect its offspring," said Bai Jue.

He gave the Tianshan White Tiger three days to take care of the housework, by which time it would go down the mountain and become a general under Bai Jue, so he also contributed to the heavy snow on the mountain.

The snow was falling down, and soon Apas felt that he could no longer see anything ten meters away. White snowflakes were flying around, but the surroundings were dark and he had lost his way.

The higher the altitude, the more terrifying the ice and snow cover. Many times, the snow is like a slowly moving disaster, starting from the highest point of the Tianshan Mountains all the way to the meadow layer, including the desert layer, and turning into silver-white.

At this time, most cold-resistant creatures will find it difficult to survive, and a perfect protective shield will be formed, which can prevent offspring from running around and prevent foreign enemies from invading.

When leaving the area covered by snow under the protection of the 'White Jue', Apas could not help but look back at the real world of ice and snow. The majestic and frightening white swallowed up the blue sky and mountains behind her.

Is this the power of an emperor? It's really enviable...

Perhaps, she could try for the position of the Evil Saint King. With the blood of Medusa, she is qualified to compete!

"Big Brother, what do you think is the possibility of me becoming the Evil Saint King?"

"The Evil Saint King... Tsk, you're very ambitious. However, there may be a lot of variables. Even if I help you, I can't guarantee a 100% chance. Probably around 50%. " Bai Jue made a simple estimate. He really wasn't completely sure about the choice of the Evil Saint King.

The four positive souls are not a big problem. The real problem is the four evil souls. We need to find the four evil souls that are related to Apas and can correspond to them...

"Are you sure you want to take this road?" Bai Jue asked Apas.

"I want to try it!" Apas responded decisively!
It seems that the plan needs to be replanned, Bai Jue thought.

………………

"Hello, Lao Bai? Why did you think of calling me... Oh, I've been preparing for the assessment for early graduation from the academy... Are you going to visit Mingzhu Academy in the future? That's great. When the time comes, send me a message and I'll take you to visit this magical city!"

Mo Fan hung up the phone, with a smile on his face. He hummed a little tune and set off on the road to the office of Dean Xiao of the Pearl Academy of Magic.

……

Bai Jue confirmed the time through Mo Fan, and then took Apas to Tongxiang County. At this time, the moth girl Yu Shishi should be here. Finding her is equivalent to finding the totem Moon Moth Phoenix.

The blue moth tribe led by the Moon Moth Phoenix has the ability to collect pure elements and can create artificial spirit seeds and soul seeds. With enough resources, even heavenly seeds can be refined!
This ability is exactly what he planned for Apas to borrow in the future. Now she is suffering from the entanglement of the Research Institute. It is a suitable time to subdue her. There is no need to rush after preparing in advance.

Bai Jue was not prepared to resort to violence until the negotiations broke down. Although he was not a reasonable man, he would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"It's crazy to use a creature of the Tianshan White Tiger as a means of transportation!" Apas sat next to Bai Jue, feeling a little stiff and uncomfortable. Who would have thought that the seemingly commander-level white tiger 'summoned beast' under them was actually an emperor?

I don’t know how Bai Jue made this proud emperor willingly serve as his mount.

Bai Jue saw what Apas was thinking, but didn't say much. It was just three points: strength, commitment and talent.

The two followed the direction of the water vein to leave Anjie and went up to Qingyi Lake in Biyuan Mountain. The surface of the lake was as green and smooth as silk. It was so calm that there was not even a ripple, and even the reflection of people did not exist.

"There are so many blue moths. Are these little guys our target?" Apas looked at the surface of the Qingyi Lake. The water showed this color because it was completely covered by blue moths.

"Hmm." Bai Jue nodded, his mind moved slightly, and in an instant the moths were aroused, and countless thin wings appeared on the entire lake. These wings flapped at the same time, as if rolling up layer after layer of ripples on the surface of the lake...

"Stop peeking over there and come out to talk, or these 'little cuties' will be in trouble."

"...Who are you?" A gentle woman in a retro Tang skirt walked out from behind a tree with a solemn expression. A strand of hair hung beside her cheek and fell to her plump chest.

Although she couldn't see through the man and woman in front of her, she could tell that the tiger-like summoned beast following them was a powerful commander. If she let it go, Qing Mo would surely suffer heavy casualties!

"We are here for the Moon Moth Phoenix..." Bai Jue didn't finish his words. The woman's expression changed as soon as the three words Moon Moth Phoenix were uttered.

A gust of wind swept wildly, and behind the woman, a pair of soft huge wings suddenly appeared. She turned and fled. There was no need to talk about the Moon Moth Phoenix. The person in front of her was obviously very knowledgeable about these things, and was different from those half-baked people in the Research Institute. Regardless of whether they were kind or malicious towards the Moon Moth Phoenix, Yu Shishi was not going to continue to involve them...

Suddenly, her body stiffened, and Apas's eyes lit up with golden-pink light. Facing a great monarch, Yu Shishi had no power to resist and was controlled by him in an instant.

"Let her lead the way to find the Moon Moth Phoenix. I hope the things I have can help it to be reborn and transform." Bai Jue said.

Yu Shishi is very beautiful, as ethereal as the woman in the painting, but it’s a pity that Bai Jue has almost no sympathy for women.

Under the spiritual suggestion of Apas, Yu Shishi flew over mountains and rivers and arrived at Nanling Mountains until it was pitch dark.

The palm forests with layers of tree canopies here have always been an important habitat for birds. Many monster nests are hidden in the thick sea of ​​tree canopies and leaves. At a certain point in time, flocks of bird monsters will fly into the sky, forming a huge and dense net that covers countless mountains and forests.

In the center of the palm forest, there is a forest that is immersed in a swamp all year round. The water is not deep, and at most it is barely above a person's ankles. The clear water flows slowly, and under the starlight and moonlight, it looks like... A forest growing on the lake shines with the most crystal clear and clean brilliance of nature.

The moth is close to the water and at the same time inhabits the forest. This beautiful place is the best place for the moon moth and phoenix to rest!

Soon, Bai Jue and Apas saw an empty pond with only water but not many trees. The water in the pond was so calm that it could reflect the stars in the sky, which was stunningly beautiful.

And just above the clear pond in the empty forest, a huge oval-shaped pupa was suspended in the center, and its shadow was also projected into the clear pond. Countless green moths surrounded it, slowly injecting energy into it.

The giant cyan pupa seems to be completely suspended between the long night sky and the star paintings in the water, but if you look closely, you will find that some satin-like silk is held up in a ray shape, and the other end is wrapped around the tall trees around it, that is, It is said that this giant cyan pupa is actually hanging lightly. This sight is indeed rarely seen.

The moonlight and starlight together protect the giant cyan pupa, and the giant pupa also seems to be absorbing the essence of nature, like a beating cyan heart!

"Now, with Yue Mo Huang in person, we can talk. You should know how rare this second chance is." Bai Jue looked at Yu Shishi.

When he arrived here, he asked Apas to release the control over Yu Shishi. If she still didn't know what was good for her, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

"The Moon Moth Phoenix already belongs to the past. It just wants to be as quiet as a stone, watching everything change quietly until the day it dies..."

"I don't understand why you want to hold the Moon Moth Phoenix so tightly. Do you want to tame it and make it a slave like a battle beast? The Moon Moth Phoenix will never become that kind of slave!"

Yu Shishi naturally knew that she was no match for the two people and one beast in front of her, and she had no power to resist at all, but she still stood in front of the stone pupa of the Moon Moth Phoenix. Her family had abandoned her, and it was the moth that saved her life. It was only right that she should return her life now!

“Don’t compare me with the Research Institute and Su Lu’s gang. Although I’m not a good person, I still have some humanity. I just need the Moon Moth Phoenix to help me do something.” Bai Jue stretched out his hand, and a moth landed on his fingertips. This phenomenon made Yu Shishi feel unbelievable!

The green moths are approaching him...

"What's the difference between what you said and enslaving it? What's more, the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​very weak now and is still sleeping." Yu Shishi's attitude was not so firm. She was puzzled by the behavior of the Green Moths.

"The difference is that I will help it recover from its metamorphosis, and after that it will be free to come and go as it pleases." Bai Jue very rarely and patiently explained to someone he had just met that Yu Shishi was very good at training and caring for Qing Mo, and things would be much simpler if she volunteered to help.

"I can provide you with a living territory and a safe shelter, and all you need to pay is the ability to collect pure elements. This is a very profitable deal."

"..." Yu Shishi was silent. She no longer had any choice. He knew every detail about her ability to extract pure elements!
"How about this, I'll let the Moon Moth Phoenix wake up first, and let it decide for itself whether to go with me." Bai Jue suggested when he saw that Yu Shishi began to waver.

"Let Yue Mo Huang make her own choice...Okay!" Yu Shishi agreed. If Yue Mo Huang wanted to follow Bai Jue, she had no reason to object.

Bai Jue came to the stone pupa and slowly dripped a bottle of potion on it, using his mental power to guide the energy in it to merge with the pupa.

If this potion made with the Holy Lotus of Tianshan and the Holy Spring of Earth as the main ingredients cannot wake up the Moon Moth Phoenix, then he can only go to Kunyu Mountain in advance, kill the Devil Tree, and take its core to try.

The potion was absorbed by the stone pupa bit by bit, and gradually it emitted light. When the light dissipated, the ancient totem of the Moon Moth Phoenix revealed its true face!
The wings are agile and soft like thin clouds; the body is pure and bright like moonlight; it also feels as if it is embellished by countless bright stars, beautiful and noble.

Although the Moon Moth Phoenix was slowly recovering with the help of the potion, it was still a little weak, so it transformed into a small moth, first circling around Yu Shishi twice, and finally landed on Bai Jue's shoulder.

The choice is clear...

……

At the Imperial Capital Magic Association, a man in uniform hurriedly walked into a retro Chinese-style office.

"Mr. Speaker, there is breaking news regarding the matter you instructed!" the young secretary in uniform said respectfully to Shao Zheng.

"Go ahead." Shao Zheng put down what he was doing, folded his hands and spoke calmly.

"It's like this. You asked me to keep an eye on Su Lu's movements. I found out through a secret report that he seemed to be assigning people from the East China Sea Magic Association to do something. However, just yesterday, those mages he assigned became disabled or died overnight. It happened suddenly without any warning!"

"This phenomenon is very similar to the mystery of the wizard's death that happened in Asuka City before..."

Shao Zheng listened to the secretary's report, looked through the information of the deceased, compared it, and fell into deep thought. Although the dead and the disabled are not good people, this uneasy situation still needs to be investigated.

Finally, he made a phone call.

"Hello, is this Bai Jue? I'm Shao Zheng..."
