Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 76: 1st level top-grade spell "Burning in Flames"!
[True Flame (Level 1): 1. Refining Dao Fire; 2. Improving the speed of practicing fire spells (magical powers)]

……

Lin Mo looked at the ball of fire that appeared in his palm automatically with his thoughts without any effort, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

After enduring seven days of sleepless nights, he finally succeeded in refining the [True Flame].

He looked at the True Flame in front of him. The size of the flame had grown from a small flame the size of a finger joint to a flame the size of a fist.

The flame color is also more eye-catching than before, divided into three layers of color, upper and lower.

The bottom layer is still the red color of the venue, the middle layer is blue, and the top layer is a gradient of cyan, which looks like the rotating colored lights at the door of a barber shop.

In the originally dimly lit courtyard, the fireworks seemed particularly bright.

This "barber shop" doesn't look very formal... Lin Mo complained.

Zhuang Weiwan looked at the strange fire in his palm, and his dark circles lit up in the darkness:
"Junior Brother Lin, your strange fire has also been completely refined. It's a double blessing!"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded. It was indeed a double happiness. After refining the strange fire, there was no need for him to stay here.

Although he hadn't smelled enough of Senior Sister Zhuang's medicinal fragrance, staying up all night to refine the elixir was too energy-consuming. In addition, he had also stayed up for more than half a month in the Immortal Examination Secret Realm, so he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Dang~!"

A crisp voice rang out in the courtyard.

A jade bottle that was originally floating in front of Zhuang Weiwan was flicked by her slender fingers and floated towards Lin Mo, falling accurately into his hands.

He felt the residual warmth of the elixir in his palm, and before he could say anything, he heard Zhuang Weiwan's gentle voice:
"Junior Brother Lin, you have worked hard. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Lin Mo was slightly stunned and looked down at the pill in his hand:

[Taiqing Pill (medium quality): After taking it, it can improve your cultivation a little bit, and has the effect of clearing your mind and making you wise. ]

[Tip: The best effect is achieved when taken by a Level 2 monk.]

A mid-grade Taiqing Pill!

Lin Mo really didn't expect the other party to be so generous.

He had already understood the value of Taiqing Pill in advance. The ordinary second-level cultivation pill was called [Peiyuan Pill].

The value of a low-grade Peiyuan Pill is half a low-grade spirit stone, while the value of a low-grade Taiqing Pill is equivalent to ten low-grade Peiyuan Pills.

The value of a medium-grade Taiqing Pill is comparable to that of five low-grade Taiqing Pills.

Calculated in this way, the selling price of a mid-grade Taiqing Pill should be around twenty-five low-grade spirit stones.

But the reality is not so.

Since Taiqing Pill has a special effect of clearing the mind after taking it, it is the best pill to take in conjunction with meditation.

In the Qingshan Sect, it is also one of the resources that the second-level disciples fight for.

Therefore, the selling price of a mid-grade Taiqing Pill is between 30 and 35 low-grade spirit stones.

If converted into the currency of the mortal world...

"Hiss~ Ten million!"

Lin Mo took a deep breath in his heart, but said politely on the surface: "Senior Sister Zhuang is too polite. As a junior brother, it is my duty to help you. This thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Although he said that, his grip on the jade bottle did not loosen at all, and he even tightened it a bit.

Zhuang Weiwan smiled and said:

"Equivalent exchange. This is what a senior alchemist said three hundred years ago. It is still regarded as a guiding principle by my generation."

"If it weren't for Junior Brother Lin's strange fire, there wouldn't be this top-grade Taiqing Pill. This is what you deserve."

Lin Mo still waved his hand and said, "Senior Sister, you are too polite."

After saying this, he took the jade bottle into his arms in a lightning speed.

"If there's nothing else, then I'll..." "Junior Brother Lin, I still have several pill recipe tasks to complete this semester. Can you stay and help me?"

Before he could finish, he saw Zhuang Weiwan looking at him with a hint of anticipation on his face.

However, although……

Senior Sister Zhuang, you have the style of a gentle young woman, and you are not suitable for acting coquettishly or cute!

Lin Mo really wanted to go back and rest for two days. Besides, the ring battle was not that urgent.

According to Long A, the earliest it can be done is the end of the month.

He was about to refuse when he heard Zhuang Weiwan continue:
"If Junior Brother Lin agrees, I can use this spell book as payment for alchemy."

After that, she handed the ancient book to Lin Mo and explained:

"This is a spell I obtained in the Immortal Examination Secret Realm. It is of a pretty good grade, but unfortunately... this is a tier 1 spell."

Lin Mo looked at the spell in his hand——【Flame Burning (Top Grade)】

A first-class spell! ?
His eyes were slightly dazed.

In front, Long Ah casually gave away magic, and in the back, Senior Sister Zhuang paid for it. The magic was always of the highest or best quality...

How come you are all so rich!
Zhuang Weiwan looked at him and said:
"Junior Brother Lin, the team leaders have discussed this and decided that this year's first round of competition should be held earlier than in previous years."

Lin Mo was shocked: "Why?"

Just listen to her explanation:

"The main reason is that no one expected Chu Wange to reach a deep level of enlightenment so quickly. And it's not just her. The nine-level enlightenment platform has already entered enlightenment for more than half of the time. The progress is far better than in the past, so..."

She didn't finish, but Lin Mo understood.

The faster everyone enters enlightenment, the faster they will wake up after enlightenment, and the pace of the entire 100-day enlightenment process will be accelerated.

Therefore, after the first group of newcomers with sudden enlightenment, led by Chu Wange, awaken, the first round of ring battles can naturally be held.

"Although in the first round of the ring battle, most of the freshmen in the top ten of the Immortal Ranking will not be challenged, but Junior Brother Lin..."

Zhuang Weiwan was afraid that he didn't understand, so he added, "Maybe it will be a little harder than for others."

Even the good-natured Senior Sister Zhuang has said so. I guess it will be more than just a little bit of hardship by then.

Lin Mo became more cautious about the upcoming ring battle. It seemed that the difficulty would be greater than he had imagined.

Zhuang Weiwan said: "If Junior Brother Lin uses the strange fire and practices this spell, his chances of winning will be higher. In addition..."

She paused, looked at the Heaven Grade Strange Fire in Lin Mo's hand, and said with fiery eyes:
"Continuing to cultivate the strange fire can not only increase the speed of spell cultivation, but also make the power of spells more powerful. This is also a good way to increase strength in a short period of time!"

"So, Junior Brother Lin, maybe it would be best for you to continue refining pills with me."

Her words sounded like a weird uncle tempting children to eat lollipops.

But now that he said that, Lin Mo really had no reason to refuse, so he slapped the ancient book in his hand onto the panel:
[Ding! You have learned the 1st-level ultimate spell "Flame Burning".]

Then, he said to Zhuang Weiwan:
"Senior Sister Zhuang is still too polite. I have benefited a lot from refining pills in recent days. Even without these so-called rewards, I plan to continue to follow you in refining pills."

It doesn’t matter whether she is a rich woman or not, I just want to pursue a “stable” career.

Zhuang Weiwan immediately smiled brightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you from now on, Junior Brother."

Lin Mo nodded: "No problem, Senior Sister, please go ahead and trouble me. However, since we will continue to work together for a while, can you also trouble Senior Sister for something?"

"Junior Brother Lin, just tell me. I will do my best to meet your requests."

"It's nothing, just don't take a shower, Senior Sister."

"Ok?"

"..."
