Chapter 70: Heavenly-Rank Strange Fire! Farming things again?
Zhuang Weiwan's eyes lit up instantly, as if little stars had been lit in the dark night.
Then Lin Mo saw her pounce directly from the cushion beside the ancient tripod toward him like a hungry tiger in the dim furnace fire.
The waves surged under the Daoist robe, almost extinguishing the small flame at Lin Mo's fingertip, and the warm breath sprayed over lightly:
"Lin Shidi, you actually have Heavenly-Rank strange fire!"
Lin Mo could even feel Zhuang Weiwan's "heat" at close range, especially since the other party had just been refining elixirs, and her body was soaked with fragrant sweat, giving a sense of wet-body temptation.
He looked down and thought, good fellow, this Daoist robe is even bigger than Chu Wange's!
Lin Mo rubbed forward silently and very considerately placed the flame in front of the other party: "Senior Sister, does this count as strange fire?"
Zhuang Weiwan didn't notice his small movements but stared tightly at the small flame, nodded violently, and said:
"It counts, how could it not! This is not only strange fire, it's also the top-tier kind of strange fire. Lin Shidi, was this obtained from the Immortal Examination Mystical Realm?"
Lin Mo nodded, only to hear her say with envy in her tone: "You're really lucky. I've farmed many times in the mission Mystical Realm, and the highest I've ever farmed is a Yellow-Rank strange fire."
"Senior Sister also has strange fire? Can I see it?"
He looked at the other party curiously.
Zhuang Weiwan didn't refuse. After changing two or three gestures with her hands, with a "swish" sound, a scorching flame emerged from her palm.
The flame was not the usual orange-yellow, but instead presented a milky white glow, but the temperature of the flame was frighteningly high.
The release at such close range directly made Lin Mo's face feel a burning sensation, and he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Such a high temperature, what strange fire is this?"
Zhuang Weiwan answered: "It's called 【White Crane Elixir Fire】. I farmed it after farming a thousand Profound Feather Demon Cranes in the Mystical Realm. The quality is average, only Yellow-Rank, far worse than your Heavenly-Rank."
Farmed a thousand demon beasts...
Lin Mo looked at the gentle-tempered Senior Zhuang Shijie opposite him who never knew how to refuse others, and suddenly thought of the other party's terrifying record of second place on the Immortal Ranking, and his body silently retreated a step.
Can't afford to offend...
Zhuang Weiwan's fair neck, covered in fine beads of sweat, made a swallowing motion, and her gaze still lingered on Lin Mo's fingertip, as if there were some cooling spring on it:
"Heavenly-Rank strange fire, this is currently the highest-grade strange fire known. The entire Qingshan Sect should not have more than eleven kinds of Heavenly-Rank strange fire."
So my strange fire is the twelfth kind?
Lin Mo was a bit surprised; Heavenly-Rank strange fire is indeed quite rare.
Although he still didn't know what the so-called strange fire actually did...
Zhuang Weiwan seemed to see his doubts, so she began to popularize the effects of strange fire to him.
"Usually, strange fire has two basic functions: one is to be used in combat to enhance the damage of fire-type spells, and the other is to be used as elixir fire to assist in alchemy."
"However, strange fire is a special spiritual item nurtured by heaven and earth, and the effects of each strange fire are different..."
After listening to the other party's general explanation, Lin Mo finally understood the rarity of the 【True Extreme Flame】 at his fingertip.
This thing is actually so precious!?
He finally understood Yan Nanfeng's reaction that day.
Heavenly-Rank strange fire is completely the elixir fire that alchemists dream of. After refining, it can increase the attribute effects of a cultivator's fire spirit root.
Besides being used in combat and alchemy, it can also help cultivators with fire spirit roots break through aptitude bottlenecks.
"Our Elixir Academy's Feng Shixiong has a fire-wood spirit root, especially with extremely high wood spirit root aptitude, which has already reached the Heavenly Spirit Root level, but it's a pity that his fire-type spirit root is stuck at 79%."
Speaking of this, Zhuang Weiwan looked at the True Extreme Flame at Lin Mo's fingertip:
"If he could also obtain a fire seed of Heavenly-Rank strange fire, maybe he would become the first Elixir Cultivator genius in Qingshan Sect to possess a fire-wood dual-system Heavenly Spirit Root!"
Lin Mo recalled Yan Nanfeng's reaction to him possessing Heavenly-Rank strange fire when he just came out of the Mystical Realm.
Could it be that the "friend's disciple" mentioned was this Feng Shixiong of the Elixir Academy?
A single Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude is already considered extraordinary.
In previous years, it would at least be an aptitude that could compete for the Immortal Ranking Top Graduate.
How strong would a dual-system Heavenly Spirit Root be?
Especially according to Zhuang Weiwan, fire and wood complement each other, which is an excellent match for alchemy.
Once the other party achieves a fire-wood dual-system Heavenly Spirit Root, perhaps it is really possible to leave everyone behind on the path of alchemy.
"It's a pity that Heavenly-Rank strange fire is hard to find. Let alone within Qingshan Sect, even among the Nine Great Academies, and even among the cultivators of the entire Diyuan Nine Provinces, cultivators who control strange fire are very few."
Zhuang Weiwan shook her head, and there seemed to be a trace of regret in her words.
Good thing I swallowed it fast... Lin Mo looked at the other party's expression and thought secretly in his heart.
Yan Nanfeng naturally disdained to forcibly snatch the strange fire in his hand; otherwise, in that situation, the other party should have had the opportunity to do so.
It's just that believing in Yan Nanfeng's character doesn't mean he believes in all the disciples of Qingshan Sect.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked again:
"Senior Zhuang Shijie, how can the fire seed of this Heavenly-Rank strange fire be refined faster?"
The more he knew about the rarity of the 【True Extreme Flame】, the more he disliked the current refining progress, lacking a sense of security.
Zhuang Weiwan nodded as expected and said:
"There is, but there are many ways to refine fire seeds. Alchemy, meditation, stance training... all are possible."
Meditation and stance training are too slow, as for alchemy...
Lin Mo frowned slightly, just about to speak, but heard the other party speak again:
"Junior Brother, if your strange fire can really be used for alchemy, it will have extra effects compared to ordinary Dao fire, especially Heavenly-Rank strange fire; even if it's just a wisp of flame, it's useful."
After speaking, a trace of envy bloomed in her eyes again.
Lin Mo said unexpectedly: "This little wisp of flame can be used for alchemy?"
Zhuang Weiwan affirmed: "Operating alone naturally won't work, but if it's just for assistance, there's no problem."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he looked at the other party and said:
"Senior Zhuang Shijie, then let me help you refine elixirs!"
Zhuang Weiwan hesitated: "This... doesn't seem very good."
"What's not good about this? Could it be that my little wisp of flame is not enough, or Senior Sister doesn't need assistance?"
"No, I didn't mean that." Zhuang Weiwan shook her head, "It's just that the time for hundred-day enlightenment is limited, helping me refine elixirs will delay your cultivation progress too much."
It's okay, I can click 1 with my other hand... Lin Mo thought to himself.
Then a trace of "seriousness" appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhuang Weiwan with extremely firm eyes:
"Senior Zhuang Shijie was so good to me before, and now that the coursework is heavy, I should naturally help."
"Besides, it doesn't delay much. I can come over to help you refine elixirs every day after the Enlightenment Glow, and by the way, I can also ask Senior Sister for advice on Elixir Cultivator matters."
A trace of shyness appeared on Zhuang Weiwan's face:
"How did Junior Brother see that my coursework is heavy?"
Still refining elixirs in the middle of the night, if you can't see that, you're either blind or heart-blind... Lin Mo complained in his heart.
Zhuang Weiwan was indeed struggling.
A moment later, she finally couldn't resist the temptation of Heavenly-Rank strange fire: "Since that's the case, then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother."
After speaking, she looked at the small wisp of flame again, her eyes full of expectation.
Lin Mo's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile:
"No, it's 'troubling' Senior Sister!"
After chatting for a while longer and agreeing on the alchemy time for tomorrow evening, Lin Mo then cupped his hands and said goodbye to Zhuang Weiwan.
Just as he had just walked out of the courtyard gate, suddenly a "crack" sound came, and a hard object feeling came from the soles of his feet.
He looked down and was stunned—
"Again, farmed things again?" ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
