Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 219 Fire-type Ore Vein

Unrestrained behavior only leads to destruction, not rebirth.

Having cultivated for so long, Wang Teng has gained a deep understanding of the evolution of demons. After each upgrade, he needs to go through a period of adaptation.

This allows the surge in physical or spiritual energy to gradually subside, entering a period of nurturing and slowly accumulating potential again.

Even steel will experience metal fatigue from constant twisting, eventually rendering it unusable.

The swarm of desert red ants in front of them was clearly determined to go all out, cultivating to the point of death, frantically absorbing fire-type energy.

A huge swarm gathered in the sky; those that were over-baked didn't have time to escape and naturally became firewood, setting themselves ablaze.

"No wonder there's fire poison here. It would be strange if there wasn't poison after cultivating like this."

After witnessing the frenzy of the desert red ants, Wang Teng continued his journey, curious about whether there were any good things inside the volcano.

As they progressed, the strength and level of the desert red ants they encountered became increasingly higher. Commander-level ants were frequently seen, and there were also quite a few commanders in the advanced stage.

After walking around the volcano without finding anything unusual, he headed straight for the crater above.

With one step, I arrived at the edge of the crater. Looking down, I saw a golden sea of ​​fire, the flames completely obscuring my view.

"That's terrifying!"

Wang Teng felt the scorching heat even standing in the deep void; the heat from the volcanic eruption had scorched through the surface space of this area above.

"This is... a fire-elemental magic diamond?"

Reaching out, he carefully removed a piece of exposed golden crystal from the inner wall of the flames and placed it on the ground outside.

As the crystal gradually cooled, it revealed its original appearance.

Wang Teng probed into it with his spiritual power and immediately sensed the abundant fire magic energy, which was much stronger than magic crystals, but still somewhat weaker than magic diamonds.

"Good stuff~ But there don't seem to be many of these..."

At that moment, a sudden sense of crisis surged through his body, and Wang Teng instinctively teleported away from the scene, his gaze lingering on the screen for a fleeting moment as he left.

Inside the crater, golden flames began to surge violently, and a golden-red figure suddenly poked its head out. Two tendrils on its head emitted spiritual fluctuations, piercing through layers of space and sweeping across the surroundings.

Wang Teng had already escaped the territory of the desert red ants, cursing inwardly for almost being caught.

As he left, he glanced back. That thing was definitely the leader of the desert red ants, whose strength had reached the level of a supreme monarch.

What surprised him most was that the other party was also very skilled in the art of space, and his spiritual power easily penetrated into the deep void.

Having strong mental power does not mean one can explore the deep void. Without a profound understanding of space, this step is impossible.

"Located on a fire-type mineral vein, it is truly blessed by nature. No wonder the desert red ants can spread throughout the entire desert."

"Forget it, just to be safe, let's explore somewhere else!"

Wang Teng composed himself and continued his wanderings. As night fell, many demons began to stir, and those who encountered each other fought each other.

If you can't win, run away. Unless you have overwhelming strength, it's not easy to die.

Therefore, he often saw a chaotic scene on the desert land, with various types of demonic power boiling and howling sounds rising and falling.

As time passed and the sky gradually brightened, many demons that disliked sunlight began to burrow into the sand, while those that loved sunlight began to stir, such as the desert red ants.

Wang Teng also needed to meet up with Hei Yu and Tang Yue, so he didn't stay any longer and returned to the city around noon.

To avoid the two women running into each other for the time being, he deliberately stayed outside instead of returning to the hotel, and found a Chinese restaurant to have a meal first.

In the afternoon, Wang Teng found a coffee shop, sent the map location, and then put away his phone to wait patiently.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Teng was stirring his coffee when he saw two people come to his side. They were Hei Yu and Tang Yue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Long time no see, Brother Hei Yu!" Wang Teng raised his face and greeted her politely, then pulled Tang Yue to sit down next to him with a smile.

"Long time no see~" Tang Yue took off her glasses, looking a bit travel-worn from her journey.

"Alright, let's get down to business first," Kuroba quickly interrupted their reminiscing.

"This contains Luo Mian's soul!" Wang Teng didn't care, took out the vessel containing Luo Mian's soul, and pushed it in front of Hei Yu.

Hei Yu picked up the vessel and probed it with his spiritual power. He quickly saw Luo Mian's soul, which seemed to be asleep.

Having spent so much time with Luo Mian, he recognized him at a glance; it was indeed the real person.

"Haha~ Good, good, good... As the main instigator of that incident, Luo Mian's arrest is a great achievement for you."

"Not only his bounty, but the Tribunal will also reassess your contributions, but all of this will have to wait until after the National Games."

With a look of satisfaction, Hei Yu put away the Soul Vessel. Luo Mian's disgrace to the Tribunal could finally be washed away.

At the same time, the arrest of Luo Mian greatly enhanced the prestige of the Inquisition. It should be noted that it was not only Luo Mian, but also the Black Vatican's interference that severely damaged the Inquisition's reputation.

This greatly made up for a portion of the damage, so Wang Teng's contribution was truly enormous, and no one can deny that.

"With you all here, I naturally have no worries about those things!"

Wang Teng smiled, and the two tacitly avoided discussing Luo Mian's stolen goods.

"By the way, I remember Brother Black Feather asked me about advancing to the Commander stage last time. I currently have another one on hand. I was wondering if you still need any?"

With a casual swipe of his hand, the Soul Vessel reappeared, containing the essence of the Black Scale Demon Lizard. It was a top-grade essence, as it was virtually undamaged.

"I want it!" Kuroba's eyes burned with excitement. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. He took the vessel of the dead and was even happier when he saw that the quality of the spirit was extremely high.

"How about this, I won't let you lose out. How about you sell it to me for 3 million?"

"Of course!" Wang Teng had no reason to refuse. The purpose of this thing was to make connections while also making money.

Even if it were auctioned off to the outside world, it would only fetch this price.

It's truly unexpected that Luo Mian could possess two monarch-level essences, as essences are quite rare to obtain.

The two completed the transaction on the spot, with Kuroba taking out the Soul Vessel to exchange their essence.

"Alright, the handover is complete. I should head back now; the judge is waiting for me." Having received the mission items, Kuroba naturally didn't intend to linger any longer.

"Take care, Brother Hei Yu!" Wang Teng was about to get up to see him off.

"You guys have a good chat, no need to see me off!" Hei Yu quickly grabbed Wang Teng's shoulder, turned around and hurriedly left the coffee shop.

After seeing Hei Yu leave, Wang Teng pulled the beauty beside him into his arms, and that familiar feeling returned instantly.

"Hey~ wait, I have something for you!" Tang Yue quickly stopped him, then took out a box and placed it on the table.

"This is the Star Sea Celestial Vein reserved for you. It's of excellent quality. It was exchanged for as soon as it appeared within the Judgment Council."

Wang Teng's face lit up with joy. Now he had almost gathered enough resources to break through to the Super Rank. After the Academy Competition, he would soon be able to enter the Three-Element Super Rank!
