Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

A moment later, Ross finished writing and handed it to Celia.

Celia took it and examined it carefully.

"Regarding the comprehensive preparation plan for ascending to the next level... there are four areas for improvement: spell proficiency, mana refinement, mana concentration, and learning new spells and passive spells..."

Celia first looked at the plan for spell proficiency.

This is done in conjunction with the new spell.

"Do you want me to learn the Forest Silk?"

Celia had actually been planning to learn the Forest Silk for a long time.

This spell is only a first-tier spell, and it is not something that only elves can learn.

However, she wasn't a nature-based mage and hadn't specifically looked into it, so she didn't know if the school had the spell Forest Silk.

Ross said, "After you advance to the third tier, the Forest Silk will be much less effective for you. What you need to learn now is the second-tier earth spell, Mystic Net."

"The Secret Gold Web?"

Celia had never heard of this spell.

Ross said, "I don't know if you still have this spell. It's a relatively strong control spell among earth magic. The spell's effect is to extract free metal elements from the earth and form a metal network around the target to trap it."

Celia asked curiously, "How effective is it?"

Ross didn't answer, but instead sent a picture to Celia.

In the scene, the earth shakes violently, and a huge metal net rises from beneath the ground, trapping a giant humanoid monster.

The humanoid monster struggled incessantly, but could not break free.

Celia perked up: "This spell doesn't look like it's second-tier?"

"This is the second-tier spell, the Mystic Net. However, it was only possible to trap a powerful Titan beast by using a seventh-tier legendary sorcerer."

"Titan?"

After a moment of thought, Celia said, "I've seen this species in the ancient monster encyclopedia. It says they can lift mountains with their bare hands and are very powerful, but like dragons, they disappeared after the Age of Calamity and may have gone extinct."

Ross nodded: "It's normal for large races like this to be unable to withstand a large influx of abyssal demonic energy. The larger they are, the less they can withstand it. It's the God King's fault."

Celia: "..."

"What I showed you was the most brilliant moment of the Mithril Web. Although I also wanted to show you the effects of the low-level Mithril Web, I hadn't learned it at that time. Before the sixth level, my improvement was quite fast, and I didn't have a direct impression of many spells."

Celia asked curiously, "Then why does Lord Ross seem to know all kinds of magic?"

"That was when I was at the Saint rank. In order to unlock all the passive spells, I specifically learned every spell that was available at the time."

He learned every spell he could...?

Just imagining that simple sentence terrified Celia.

Not to mention the vast number of lost spells, the spells that remain now, and those that have been innovated, could fill a small library.

Celia definitely won't be able to learn it.

Ross chuckled: "You don't need to think so much. Actually, many spells have no effect on the passive spells. I just clicked it casually at the time."

It was indeed a casual click. After reaching the ninth-tier Saint rank, the requirements for becoming a god are very high. One of them is the passive ability to learn many different factions of spells. When Ross saw this, he simply spent money to empty the spell library, set up an auto-clicker, and used the auto-clicker to learn spells every day before logging off, until the morning.

Even so, it took many late nights of study to finally learn all the spells.

After that, I spent several more days and nights using items to grind my proficiency in these spells to mastery.

The game's spell proficiency has a tangible numerical value and name, divided into beginner, proficient, master, and subtle. There is no data panel; to know the level of proficiency, you can only judge it by visual inspection and mental perception.

However, with the advanced technology of magic puppets nowadays, a magic puppet only needs to spend a few minutes reading and downloading the memory crystal of a spell to skip the beginner level and go directly to proficiency or even mastery.

Of course, at most one can only reach the level of proficiency.

Proficiency is linked to the performance of the Puppet Heart; a natural Puppet Heart, once downloaded with a spell, will definitely be mastered.

The success of creating an artificial puppet heart depends on its magical compatibility.

However, the puppet cannot be leveled up; it will remain at the mastery level until it dies.

For most people, spell proficiency is not easy to increase.

If you lack talent, it may take a month or even several months to get started. Although you can become proficient quickly after getting started, it is not something that ordinary people can do to go from proficient to master.

Chapter 257 Lucky 1

Before learning various ice spells, Celia had learned a basic fireball spell.

Even now, her fireball technique is still only at the beginner level.

Other spells that are just starting out include Puppet Storage and Danger Sense [Passive].

He has mastered Holy Word and all the ice spells he has learned, but he is still a long way from truly mastering them.

She only had one spell that reached the mastery level—Mage Hand.

This mental spell, which is used most of the time, still took Ross more than half a year to reach the level of mastery, but he has not yet entered the realm of it.

"Next, you need to purchase the materials I've written down for you to help improve your spell proficiency. The spells you need to improve your proficiency with are Mithril Net, Shatter Ice, Mage's Hand, and Crystal Arrow."

"Nothing else needs to be changed... Hmm, you can also practice the Holy Word spells of the Holy Court. This spell system is quite good and worth improving."

"You don't need to practice the rest. Mastery level is enough. Once you reach the third tier, I'll teach you a few spells that are worth grinding to master."

“Okay!” Celia agreed, carefully examining the materials that could help improve her proficiency.

These materials are not consumed directly; some are used to make medicine, and some are used to construct magic arrays.

"I don't know how to make medicine..."

"Have someone else do it for you."

"Ok."

Celia immediately thought of Anko.

But Anke wasn't in Star Ash Town or Southern City, so they had to give up.

"There should be some skilled apothecaries in Southern Border City. I'll go ask the city lord."

As she spoke, Celia continued to look at the other enhancement plans.

"Magic refinement and magic concentration enhancement require a combination of magic array setup and potion consumption, and even... medicinal baths? What are medicinal baths?"

Ross said calmly, "It's just taking a bath. You put a special potion in the bathtub, soak in it, and while you're soaking, the potion will stimulate the magic in your body and make it more active. At this time, you can meditate. The magic won't increase, but it will be refined, making your magic purer."

"Do you want to take off your clothes?" Celia asked.

"All off."

Celia: "..."

Her perfect cheeks slowly turned rosy, eventually becoming as red as tomatoes.

She stammered, "I...I think medicinal baths are too...too radical for me."

"You're so long-winded. You don't have any big surprises to share."

Celia didn't know what Ross meant by "big thunder," but she was sure it wasn't anything good.

"You must soak it." Ross's tone left no room for doubt: "Having returned from the depths of the divine realm, your magic concentration is much higher than that of an average sorcerer, but you have never properly refined it."

"Your mana consumption rate and casting speed both depend on your staff and the Heart of the Puppet. Before you can instantly summon a puppet, you need to improve your mana refinement level, ideally to the point where you can try to learn third-tier spells."

"Lord Ross means that I should learn third-tier spells at the second tier?" Celia blinked, somewhat incredulous.

Ross nodded. "Yes."

"That kind of thing, you can't possibly do it no matter how you think about it, right?"

Celia had never heard of anyone learning high-level spells at a low level.

"It's just that you can't do it in your time. If it were me back then, I'd be embarrassed to go out without learning magic beforehand," Ross said. "Do you remember the two spells I used when I dealt with the Blue Winged Seahorse?"

Celia nodded: "Those two spells should be fourth-tier spells, right?"

Ross nodded: "It's a fourth-tier spell, but its power is far from reaching the level of a normal fourth-tier mage. Otherwise, that ice crystal missile would have killed the boss instantly."

Celia couldn't help but wonder, "Just what is the power of a fourth-tier spell like...?"

Ross laughed, "Didn't you see it? When your mother Vanessa and the Lord of the Southern City fought against that heretic."

Celia shook her head: "At that time, I was controlling the magic circle, so I could only sense things through the circle. It wasn't intuitive at all. Besides, their spells were all aimed at heretics, so I couldn't feel the aftershocks. I just knew they were very powerful..."

"If you want to see things clearly, you have to experience it for yourself."

"...Then forget it!"

Ross said calmly, "Your current strength seems to be much stronger than many third-tier mages, but if you face a genius of similar talent, such as Benovia, and she doesn't give you the chance to use the scroll, you might not be able to defeat her."

Celia: "..."

During this period, whenever there was a battle, she would have the puppet stand in front while she fought from behind, using scrolls as if they were free.

I must say, this kind of money-spraying combat method is expensive, but it's very satisfying.

"The higher the rank, the more difficult and expensive the scroll is to make, and the longer it takes to activate. After the fourth rank, by the time you activate the scroll, your opponent can already use ten spells. You shouldn't forget that high priest who was about to use the scroll and I snatched it from him, right?"

Celia nodded.

She hadn't forgotten. Before she used the scroll tactic, she didn't really feel anything, but after getting used to fighting with scrolls, she found that scene increasingly terrifying.

"Therefore, your next improvement plan is to increase your magic refinement level until you can try to learn the next stage of spells. You must take a medicinal bath."

Celia blushed, but in the end, she didn't ask the question.

Let Lord Ross take a look, it's no big deal... Celia thought to herself.

But I felt too embarrassed to think about it, so I decided to stop thinking about it and deal with it when the time came!

"Finally, I need to learn new spells and passive abilities... I'll only learn the new spell Mithril Web, hopefully it won't take too long..."

"Passive... Lord Ross, what passive skill should I learn?"

"A passive response to danger perception is Mercury retrograde dissipation."

"May Mercury retrograde be gone?"

Ross nodded: "Yes, it's a passive water-based spell with two effects. The first effect is that when you encounter danger, it automatically generates a water-based spell to slow down and repel attackers. Combined with danger perception, it allows for a faster response."

"For example, with the bird you encountered before, you only had a sense of danger and had to be constantly vigilant to catch it several times. But if you had the passive skill [Mercury Reversal], you could charge at it, slowing it down or knocking it back, allowing you to use other spells to counterattack it."

Celia asked, "And what about the other effect?"

"The other effect requires a high level of proficiency to trigger, and it grants +1 Luck."

"Luck increased by one? Luck can be increased through magic?" Celia exclaimed in surprise. "I thought this was a blessing that only the goddess of fate could bestow."

"Of course, but the requirements are extremely high. Most passive spells that increase luck require a very high level of mastery, where the spell's effect must be completely integrated into the body."

"Does adding one point to luck have any special effect?"

"Passive trigger: You can pick up coins while walking."

Celia's eyes lit up.

"I studied!"

I've almost reached 1000 monthly votes, please help me out, everyone!

Chapter 258 Did you empty the entire ruins?

After confirming the upgrade plan, Celia embarked on a grand shopping spree.

As a border city, Southern Border City has trade relations with various empires, and can basically buy all the materials and potions that Ross requires.

After the first round of purchases was completed, Celia exclaimed, "Southern City is so prosperous! You can buy anything here."

Ross just smiled and didn't say anything.

If you can't buy it here, I won't list it; I'll just tell you to go find it yourself.

However, the materials required by second-tier mages are not of high quality and can be purchased in most cities.

There happened to be an ancient ruin near Southland City that had been conquered, and it was said to be rich in various low-level materials, which directly made Southland City a trading center for elves, orcs, and the Ishtar Empire.
