Chapter 351: Comprehending the Mystical Technique (Part 1)
Faced with Li Wei’s questioning, Torresta didn’t answer him.
Seeing this, Li Wei didn’t press the issue any further.
He was on his way to the Mage Association.
’Damn it, they’re all a bunch of riddle-speakers. Can’t they just be open for once?’
He never used to think there was anything wrong with people who spoke in riddles.
Now, Li Wei just wanted to say one thing:
To hell with riddle-speakers!
’Whatever. I won’t think about it anymore. I’ll just head back first.’
Li Wei already had a path forward in mind.
He knew how to comprehend his own Mystical Technique.
By returning to the Elemental Tower and entering seclusion for a while, he might be able to comprehend the Mystical Technique and break through to Tier Four.
"Lilith."
Li Wei saw Lilith and greeted her.
"Li Wei."
"Evelyn has already used a Magic Scroll to confirm with the Mage Association that the mission is complete. We can return to the Elemental Tower now,"
Lilith said.
Li Wei smiled. "That’s good news. Let’s go, then."
"Didn’t you take a walk around Maple City?" Li Wei asked.
Lilith shook her head. "There’s nothing much to see."
The two used the Ten Thousand Miles Teleportation Array inside the Mage Association to return to the Elemental Tower.
After a violent spatial fluctuation,
Li Wei and Lilith vanished from Maple City.
「Elemental Tower, Teleportation Plaza.」
The moment Li Wei landed, his body swayed twice.
He quickly steadied himself, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
"The Mage Association’s Teleportation Array is such garbage," Li Wei complained after he recovered. "When I teleported from the Elemental Tower, I didn’t feel a thing."
Lilith: "Mm."
She also felt a little unwell.
Without waiting for a Flying Ship to pick them up, the two flew directly up to the Floating City.
Below them, numerous Tiers One and Two Mages looked up with admiration.
A Mage who could fly was at least a Tier Three Mage.
It was common knowledge that the lowest-level Flying Spell was the Tier Three Wind Magic, Wind Elf Wings.
「Back at the Elemental Tower.」
Li Wei first went to the manor to pay his respects to Valen and to let him know he had returned.
"Greetings, Mage Li Wei." The Magic Butler, Kuro, greeted Li Wei upon seeing him.
Li Wei nodded and asked, "Is Master Valen here?"
Kuro shook his head. "The master went out yesterday and hasn’t returned yet."
"If you have business with the master, you can tell me, and I will relay the message when he returns."
Li Wei shook his head. "It’s nothing important. I just wanted to let Master Valen know that I’m back."
Kuro nodded. "Very well, I will inform the master."
"I’m going to check on the Dragon Blood Tree."
Li Wei informed Kuro and walked toward the backyard.
The Dragon Blood Tree was full of life, and the Little Bone Dragon was dozing beneath it.
Sensing Li Wei’s return, the Little Bone Dragon excitedly scrambled up and nuzzled against his leg.
Seeing the Little Bone Dragon’s reaction, Li Wei breathed a small sigh of relief.
Last time, the Little Bone Dragon had deliberately hidden things from him.
Li Wei had been worried that the Little Bone Dragon had fallen under the control of the Legendary Witch Lich and betrayed him.
It seemed that wasn’t the case.
The Little Bone Dragon was still his Little Bone Dragon.
Li Wei asked, "Did anything happen while I was away?"
The Little Bone Dragon whimpered twice, telling Li Wei that everything was fine.
Li Wei nodded and looked at the Dragon Blood Tree.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he thought he saw the Dragon Blood Tree tremble when he looked at it.
Li Wei smiled, patted the Dragon Blood Tree, and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t strip you bare this time."
Dragon Blood Tree: "..."
’Not stripping me bare just means you’re still going to strip some of me, doesn’t it?’
Li Wei plucked a few of the less healthy-looking leaves from the Dragon Blood Tree to take with him.
He also placed the Essence of Plants, obtained after killing the Mushroom Men, at the base of the Dragon Blood Tree, allowing it to slowly absorb the essence and grow.
After having some of its leaves plucked, the Dragon Blood Tree, nourished by the Essence of Plants, became even more vibrant and verdant.
Seeing the Dragon Blood Tree growing strong, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
"You keep watching the Dragon Blood Tree. I’m leaving."
The Little Bone Dragon lay back down beneath the Dragon Blood Tree.
Li Wei left the manor.
Upon returning to the Celestial Realm, Li Wei’s Magic Badge vibrated. The mission reward had been distributed.
Fifty Credit Points and a bottle of Hundred Flowers Dew.
Purple Level Class students could use Credit Points to exchange for Cultivation Cards.
Therefore, no Cultivation Card was included in the reward.
Ten Credit Points could be exchanged for a Cultivation Card with one day’s duration.
The value of a Cultivation Card was quite high.
The thirty-three days of cultivation time Sean had given Li Wei were worth as much as thirty-three thousand gold coins on the open market.
It was truly a magnificent gift.
The Credit Points were converted from the money Evelyn paid to the Elemental Tower.
The Hundred Flowers Dew was an additional reward from Evelyn.
Li Wei went to the All Things House to collect the Hundred Flowers Dew.
Inside the box containing the Hundred Flowers Dew was a small slip of paper.
The note explained in detail how to use the Hundred Flowers Dew.
In short, it was a treasure that was highly beneficial to a Grand Mage’s Spiritual Power.
A unique product of Flying Flower City.
Evelyn had intended to use the Hundred Flowers Dew to attract a Grand Mage from the Elemental Tower to help.
She just hadn’t expected Li Wei to be the one who came in the end.
After returning to the Elemental Tower, Li Wei rested for a day.
During his rest, he also prepared the Secret Medicines needed for his upcoming cultivation.
He concocted six medium bottles of Energy Secret Medicine.
He also prepared some Fire Source Secret Medicine to have on hand.
With all preparations complete,
Li Wei entered the Cultivation Secret Realm to begin his secluded training.
After comprehending a trace of the Mystical Technique, Li Wei sighed with emotion. ’I was on the wrong path.’
He realized that all he had to do was continuously deduce his Fireball Skill, developing a version with higher temperature and greater power.
That alone would satisfy the conditions for awakening his Mystical Technique.
Just as he believed, with a high enough temperature, he could burn anything in the world.
In short, his flames could annihilate all things.
What Li Wei needed to do was to hold fast to this belief, persevere, and strive toward his goal.
In the Cultivation Secret Realm, Li Wei treated the deduction of his Fireball Skill as his form of cultivation.
He focused on comprehending the process of a flame’s temperature increasing.
And on understanding *why* a flame’s temperature could be raised.
[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier Three Awakening)] 420/10000
His awakening progress steadily increased.
As Li Wei gradually grasped the essence of a flame’s temperature, the deduction progress for his Fireball Skill surged forward.
[Fireball Skill (Tier Three Perfection)] 8972/10000
By following the fundamental principles of increasing a flame’s temperature, Li Wei was able to create flames of even higher heat.
As time passed,
his Fireball Skill was deduced to the Tier Four Great Success Level.
His awakening progress was more than halfway complete, and the Mystical Technique related to flame had become clear.
But Li Wei was not satisfied with this.
He transformed into the Flame Lord.
He then transformed further, becoming a deep-cyan Flame Lord.
Under the effects of the Hundred Flowers Dew, Li Wei felt his Spiritual Power break its limits and grow at a tremendous rate.
This allowed him to control even greater power.
Li Wei took a deep breath, and all the surrounding flames were sucked into his body.
Dragon Transformation.
Cyan Flame Dragon Form.
The power stacked, compressed to its absolute limit.
Li Wei’s body temperature already exceeded two hundred thousand degrees.
But this was not the limit he sought.
In his perception, the temperature bursting forth from the collision of Fire Elements could reach millions of degrees.
Li Wei controlled the High-Energy Elements within his body, forcing them to collide with each other.
Two streams of High-Energy Elemental Flow rushed toward each other.
Countless High-Energy Elements missed each other in the gaps between the streams.
A small number of High-Energy Elements had overlapping trajectories and collided.
The heat generated at the instant of collision reached millions of degrees.
Amidst the continuous collisions of High-Energy Elements,
the temperature inside Li Wei’s body climbed higher and higher,
moving in the direction he had hoped for.
