Refine the Dao Flame; 2. Increase cultivation speed of fire-based techniques (abilities)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo looked at the flame that spontaneously appeared in his palm without effort, a smile of delight crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seven days of sleepless nights, he had finally successfully refined the True Ultimate Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the True Ultimate Flame before him; its size had grown from a tiny flame no larger than a fingertip to a fist-sized blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its color had also become more vivid, divided into three distinct layers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottom layer remained red, the middle layer blue, and the top layer a gradient of greenish-blue, resembling the spinning neon sign of a barber shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dimly lit courtyard, the flame shimmered brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘barber shop’ doesn’t look very legitimate…” Lin Mo muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan, watching the strange flame in his palm, her dark circles glowing in the darkness, said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, your strange flame is fully refined—truly a double blessing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded with a smile; it truly was a double blessing. Now that the strange flame was refined, he had no reason to stay here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hadn’t yet grown tired of Zhuang’s herbal scent, the all-night alchemy sessions drained too much energy, especially after he’d already endured over half a month of sleepless nights in the Immortal Exam Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clear chime echoed through the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade vial floating before Zhuang Weiwan was flicked by her slender finger, gliding smoothly toward Lin Mo and landing precisely in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warmth from the pill lingered in his hand; before he could speak, Zhuang Weiwan’s gentle voice reached him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, you’ve worked hard. This is just a small token of appreciation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo was slightly stunned, looking down at the pill in his palm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Taiqing Pill (Mid-Grade): When consumed, slightly increases cultivation base and clears the mind and sharpens insight.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Tip: Best effect for Rank 2 cultivators.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-grade Taiqing Pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo had never expected her to be so generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already researched the value of Taiqing Pills; ordinary Rank 2 pills were called 【Peiyuan Pills】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One low-grade Peiyuan Pill was worth half a low-grade spirit stone, while one low-grade Taiqing Pill equaled ten low-grade Peiyuan Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mid-grade Taiqing Pill was worth roughly five times that of a low-grade Taiqing Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, its market price should be around twenty-five low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reality was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Taiqing Pills had the special effect of calming the mind, they were the optimal pill to take while meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Qingshan Sect, they were among the resources fiercely contested by Rank 2 disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the market price of a mid-grade Taiqing Pill ranged between thirty and thirty-five low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If converted into mundane currency…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa—ten million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sucked in a breath internally, yet outwardly he politely said, “Zhuang Sister, you’re too kind. As a junior, helping you is my duty. This is far too valuable—I can’t accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke those words, yet his grip on the jade vial tightened, not loosening even slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Equal exchange—that’s what a senior alchemist three hundred years ago said, and it remains our guiding principle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without your strange flame, this superior Taiqing Pill would never have been produced. This is what you deserve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo still waved his hand. “Sister, you’re too generous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could respond, he swiftly tucked the jade vial into his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, I still have several alchemy formula tasks left this term. Could you stay and help me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhuang Weiwan watching him with a hint of hopeful expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Sister, you’re going for the gentle widow vibe—this isn’t the time for coquettish pleading!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo did want to return and rest for two days; the arena matches weren’t urgent anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Long A, the earliest they’d begin was at month’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to refuse when Zhuang Weiwan added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you agree, I can give you this technique as payment for the alchemy work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed him the ancient book, explaining as she did:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a technique I obtained in the Immortal Exam Realm. Its rank is decent, but unfortunately… it’s a Rank 1 technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo looked at the technique in his hand—【Yan Jin Fire Refinement (Supreme)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A supreme Rank 1 technique!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Long A casually gifted him a technique, now Zhuang Sister pays with supreme and superior techniques…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How are you all so rich?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan looked at him and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, the team leader group has discussed it—this year’s first round of arena matches will likely come earlier than usual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo was startled: “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mainly because no one expected Chu Wange’s deep awakening to come so quickly—and not just her; over half of those on the Ninth Level Awakening Platform have entered awakening, far surpassing previous years, so…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t finish, but Lin Mo understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faster disciples entered awakening, the sooner they awoke, accelerating the entire hundred-day awakening cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the first group of awakened newcomers—led by Chu Wange—regained consciousness, the first round of arena matches could naturally begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though most of the top ten newcomers on the Immortal List won’t be challenged in the first round, Lin Mo, you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan added, fearing he wouldn’t understand, “might find it harder than the others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even gentle Zhuang Sister said that—so it wouldn’t just be a little hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo grew even more cautious about the upcoming arena matches; the difficulty was clearly greater than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan said: “If you combine your strange flame with practicing this technique, your chances of victory will improve. Also…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her gaze burning as she looked at the heavenly-grade strange flame in his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continuing to cultivate your strange flame not only accelerates technique cultivation but also enhances technique power—this is an excellent way to rapidly strengthen yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Lin Mo, staying with me to continue alchemy might be your best option.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words sounded like a pervert tempting a child with a lollipop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, Lin Mo had no real reason to refuse—he slapped the ancient book onto his panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! You have learned Rank 1 Supreme Technique: Yan Jin Fire Refinement.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said to Zhuang Weiwan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuang Sister, you’re too kind. I’ve gained so much from alchemy lately—even without these so-called rewards, I planned to keep working with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she’s a rich woman doesn’t matter—I just want a stable career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwan’s face lit up with a smile. “Then I’ll rely on you, junior brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded. “No problem, Sister. Feel free to ask me for anything. But since we’ll be working together for a while, could I ask you one favor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, go ahead—whatever you need, I’ll try my best to fulfill it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing much—just don’t take baths.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-21T02:07:02.078Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","834a78fc450c667c07961bd4d9e49f6184f21c7f5c36574c8aa5414b2d51b787","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-77","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-75",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-cover.jpg"]
