Chapter 180: Black Grade Explosive Flame and a Month
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Learning, Great Extinction, Ancient Fan Nation, Mutation…
There was also the “fog” that silenced all of them…
The more Lin Yan listened and understood, the more questions he had.
What kind of civilization was this world?
Ling Shuangxue’s outfit was clearly different from the characteristics of the clothes of this era. Could it be that the civilization development of the prefecture capital was far greater than that of Ding’an City?
One was modern, and the other was ancient?
Ling Shuangxue propped herself up on her knees. “Since the ins and outs have been explained, 1 won’t stay. This residence is not bad. 1’11 have to trouble All Qing to arrange a place for me and my colleagues.”
Liu Lanqing snorted. “There’s no room for you here!”
Bai Ling hurriedly said, “Ah Qing, you’re talking in a fit of anger again! Fan Xiaopeng, bring Teacher Ling and make arrangements. When I came in, I saw that the east wing was still empty, right? Why don’t you assign it to the teachers of the Qianyuan Academy?”
Fan Xiaopeng looked at Liu Lanqing. Seeing that she did not object, he cupped his hands and brought Ling Shuangxue out.
After Ling Shuangxue left, Liu Lanqing slammed the table hard, and a charred palm hole immediately appeared on the table.
“She’s going too far! Old Bai, she’s taking advantage of us and still dares to live beside us!”
At this moment, Bai Ling was completely relaxed. He poured himself a cup of tea. “You should be satisfied. She’s the acting City Lord now. According to the rules, it’s reasonable for her to chase you out. It’s just the east wing. Just let her
be.”
“Whose side are you on?”
“I’m on my side. Don’t drag me into the conflict between the two of you.”
After a moment of silence, Liu Lanqing threw the matter of Ling Shuangxue to the back of her mind and said seriously, “Old Bai, is it not enough for me to preside over Ding’an City? Why do you have to come personally to send some messages?”
“That’s because you’re too worrying!”
Bai Ling complained, “You know your personality. If you rush into the ruins in a hurry and encounter a mishap like Elder Kong, won’t our Demon Suppression Division lose another general? Therefore, the boss sent me here to watch over you and tell you to do things steadily. Don’t think that you’re invincible with the Jade Grade Noble Realm.”
Liu Lanqing pursed his lips. “Then I’ll stay in Ding’an City next and do nothing?”
“Didn’t 1 tell you to set up the Vermillion Bird Hall? As a Venerable Issuer, not only do you have to convince the masses with your strength, but it’s also very important to select talents!”
He looked at Lin Yan, who was standing quietly behind Liu Lanqing, and nodded in approval. “For example, the person behind you has been chosen well. He dared to stand beside you at the critical moment. He’s more reliable than Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye.”
Liu Lanqing looked at Lin Yan. “Those two are not determined to stay in the Demon Suppression Division at all. How can they compare to Lin Yan?”
She seemed to have thought of something and said, “Lin Yan, I remember that you like the Spirit Marrow very much.”
Lin Yan didn’t know how to answer.
Liu Lanqing stood up and opened the box containing the rare treasures. She casually took out a large handful of Spirit Marrows from the pile and handed it to Lin Yan. “Take it.”
“Issuer Liu, this is…”
Lin Yan subconsciously reached out his hands to hold them. At a rough glance, there were more than twenty Spirit Marrows, including ungraded, first-grade, and second-grade ones.
“This is for you. However, from now on, you’re not allowed to exchange for Spirit Marrows with your Great Merit!”
Pffft!
Bai Ling spat out a large mouthful of tea, but he did not say anything.
Lin Yan was also stunned.
Liu Lanqing pointed at the wooden box in front of him. “I’m doing this for your own good.
“There’s a Black Grade Force Feature called Explosive Flame!
“I can tell you that Explosive Flame is extremely powerful. Its destructive power is also one of the top among the Black Grade Force Features. It’s extremely precious.
“If Hou Zun hadn’t been in a hurry to build the Vermillion Bird Hall after the accident, he wouldn’t have taken out this Force Feature!
“This is called luck. It’s your opportunity!
“If you can achieve this Force Feature, you will be a carp leaping through the dragon gate and become a person above others!
“Therefore, you need to save your Great Merits to exchange for this Force Feature!”
Lin Yan naturally wanted the Black Grade Force Feature, but…
“Issuer Liu, how many Great Merits do 1 need to exchange for this Explosive Flame?”
“Under normal circumstances, Explosive Flame would require at least loo Great Merits. However, things are urgent now. I’ll take care of you as a special talent. You only need 50 Great Merits to exchange for it, not including Unusual Items.”
Pffft!
Another mouthful of tea spewed out of Bai Ling’s mouth. He looked at Liu Lanqing with heartache as if he was looking at a wastrel.
50 Great Merits?
This was a Black Grade Force Feature. Wasn’t this like giving it away for free?
Little did he know that Lin Yan was also exclaiming in his heart. 50 Great Merits!
He only had 5 Great Merits and 5 Small Merits now. How long would it take to accumulate 50 Great Merits?
This did not include Unusual Items. Those things were even more ridiculously expensive!
Liu Lanqing snorted. “You think it’s expensive? This is a Black Grade Force Feature. It can be exchanged for 50 Great Merits. The discount is already huge!”
Liu Lanqing reached into the stack of books and flipped through them. She found a book and threw it to Lin Yan. “In short, don’t waste your Great Merit. Store it first.
“Of course, Great Merit alone is not enough.
“This is the prerequisite martial art of Explosive Flame, Phoenix Spear. Next, practice it to the essence level as soon as possible before coming to me to test the resonance with Explosive Flame.
“If your resonance is too poor, then there’s nothing I can do. I can only say that you’re unlucky and have no fate with Explosive Flame.
“If your resonance is good… Hehe, you have to work hard to make contributions!”
Beginner, Essence, Combination, Great Accomplishment, and Perfection. The essence was about 35% proficiency.
Lin Yan first put the Spirit Marrows into the bag at his waist before taking the secret manual.
This was a secret martial arts technique that had appeared on the exchange form back then. He did not expect Liu Lanqing to give it to him for nothing.
“Go and do your best. In the future, you will definitely have a place in the prefecture!”
“I’ll take my leave.”
Outside the door, Lin Yan looked at the Phoenix Spear secret manual. Black Grade Force Feature?
Why did it sound like Issuer Liu had drawn a big pancake for him?
The thing in his hand was still the most reliable.
Lin Yan casually put away the Phoenix Spear secret manual. He reached into his bag and touched the Spirit Marrows one by one.
“Eleven ungraded Spirit Marrows, eight first-grade Spirit Marrows, and three second-grade Spirit Marrows! In total… it’s almost 15 Wisdom Apertures!”
After returning to his room, Lin Yan first sucked dry the ungraded Spirit Marrows. Then, he absorbed the first-grade Spirit Marrows one by one until he gathered one Enlightenment Spiritual Light.
He put away the remaining Spirit Marrows and would exchange them later.
“The Wondrous Tao Te Ching relies on the effect of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light very much and is very beneficial to my mind. Therefore, I should invest this Enlightenment Spiritual Light in the Wondrous Tao Te Ching!”
BOOM!
The state of enlightenment appeared again.
The Wondrous Tao Te Ching’s deeper meaning manifested. It was recited over and over again in Lin Yan’s epiphany. Every time he recited it, he would have a deeper understanding.
When Lin Yan returned to normal, he opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
In the skill column, the proficiency of the Wondrous Tao Te Ching had already reached 100%!
“The increase this time is not as obvious as last time. The time of the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder has at most increased by another second.
“The greatest improvement is that 1 can enter an ethereal state at any time and place. Perhaps it’s beneficial to the fusion of forces…”
Unfortunately, the Black Jade Bodhi had yet to be completely accumulated.
In fact, during this period of time, Lin Yan’s life was very comfortable. Therefore, the Black Jade Bodhi’s accumulation speed was already very fast. In less than a month, it had accumulated about half.
In other words, it would take about another month for the Black Jade Bodhi to finish accumulating.
“In the past, it was difficult to reach 100% proficiency. Now, the Black Jade Bodhi’s accumulation speed is too slow.
“Fortunately, I just have to wait for a month. I wonder what special effects the Wondrous Tao Te Ching will produce.”
Lin Yan recalled that the last time he used the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunder, he had sublimated in his enlightenment state, and the effect had greatly increased.
It seemed that he had to think of a way to exchange for some ungraded and first-grade Spirit Marrows this month and accumulate a few more Enlightenment Spiritual Lights..
