Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 120: Mission delivered! Are you the one who set the fire?
The flames started from a few purple bamboos, and the bamboo leaves covering the ground were also engulfed in the sea of ​​fire.

"Crackling, crackling..."

The sound of burning continued to be heard, and the flames continued to spread along the bamboo leaves, madly devouring the surrounding purple bamboo and bamboo leaves.

“Hiss~hiss~!”

The purple bamboo snakes hidden in the smoke were spitting out their tongues and fleeing frantically under the thick smoke.

Also fleeing frantically were the sect's menial disciples who were hunting in the purple bamboo forest.

"Run, run!"

"Which bastard set the fire?"

"..."

They ran out of the woods in panic, looking at the smoke-filled purple bamboo forest. After the tongues of fire devoured the purple bamboo snakes, they suddenly turned into even more terrifying giant fire pythons, opening their bloody mouths and spreading out in all directions.

The scorching Taoist fire caused the air to become distorted, with heat waves coming one after another. The purple mist flickered with strange light under the illumination of the fire, making the whole picture appear even more oppressive.

"Fuck! Burning the bamboo forest? Whose genius came up with this idea?"

A errand disciple looked at the raging fire and couldn't help but complain.

"Didn't you see it? That one over there is still playing!"

Someone pointed at Lin Mo who was standing in the bamboo forest.

I saw that he was still continuously releasing three-colored flames, burning the surrounding purple bamboo. Under his terrifying Taoist fire, the flames continued to sweep in all directions.

"Fuck! I just had a snake gall bladder exploded and I didn't have time to pick it up. I'm going to kill this arsonist!"

Some people glared.

"Oh, brother, I advise you to be cautious." Someone chuckled, "This Dao Fire is not like an ordinary Dao Fire. Even a formally transferred Dan Xiu may not have such a terrifying Dao Fire."

Someone next to him immediately answered:

"Yes, this temperature is too exaggerated. Although the purple bamboo snakes in the purple bamboo forest have weak defenses, these purple bamboos are harder than one another and cannot be burned by ordinary fire."

This statement was also recognized by everyone. If the Purple Bamboo Forest was really so easy to burn, how could anyone not think of such a good idea as "setting fire to the forest"?

Even for those formal alchemists with extraordinary Dao Fire in Lingdan Peak, most of their Dao Fire temperatures are not as high as Lin Mo's.

Besides, the disciples who come here to hunt monsters are basically menial disciples, and most of them are in the early stage of foundation building.

Any outer disciple who has been promoted to a formal alchemy practitioner has almost reached the middle stage of foundation building. Why would they come to the sect's novice leveling point like Zizhulin to spawn monsters?
"It looks like he's another recommended student."

A three-line errand disciple sighed.

The strength of most of the menial disciples is similar, but the strength of the recommended students cannot be viewed with common sense.

"Damn it! Chu Wange at least left some soup for us, but this guy even overturned the table!"

Someone couldn't help but curse.

"Burn it, burn it, just finish the task and leave."

"Hey, I'm still short of two kinds of snake skin. It looks like there's no hope today. Damn you recommended student!"

"What else can we do? How about you go up and ask him for the sword? We support you!"

"Support +1" "Support +10086"

"Fuck off!"

"..."

The errand disciples were filled with anger, but they could do nothing but watch Lin Mo set fire to the forest.

The rule of Zizhulin is that whoever is more capable will be promoted.

Lin Mo did not force them not to hunt. If they had the ability, they could even extinguish the opponent's fire directly, or go hunting in the blazing fire.

Unfortunately, they can't.

Lin Mo in the field looked at the raging fire, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the prompts that kept flashing on the panel:

【The purple bamboo snake has been killed.】

【The purple bamboo snake has been killed.】

【…】

As the purple bamboo snakes turned into spiritual smoke one by one, the number of kills on the interface continued to soar.

Lin Mo nodded with a satisfied expression.

He is a Five Elements cultivator, not a sword cultivator or a physical cultivator, so why would he do such inefficient things as snatching monsters?
So just learn from this and if you want to burn something, burn it thoroughly!
"Quack~!"

The bun-shaped frog above his head couldn't stand the scorching heat all around him and kept calling out.

"I know, I know, I'll leave now."

Lin Mo stretched out his hand and used the Taoist formula to water the tree, while he looked up at the flames in the sky. Feeling that the fire was almost over, he dodged a few times and retreated from the sea of ​​fire.

When he walked out of the range of the fire in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he noticed the menial disciples standing in a circle outside, looking at him with resentment on their faces.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, but didn't care.

When he set the fire just now, he paid special attention to the rhythm. After all the disciples in the Purple Bamboo Forest had retreated, he increased the firepower and used all his strength.

So logically speaking, no one should have been injured because of his setting the forest on fire.

As for stealing monsters?
Lin Mo looked at a errand disciple in the crowd, who happened to be the one who had snatched two snakes from him at the beginning of the day.

The other party's expression was not very good either, and he was even more furious in his heart: "I only stole two of your snakes, but you stole everyone's snakes!"

Lin Mo raised a smile and said, "Didn't you teach me how to rob monsters?"
The errand disciples looked somewhat helpless, and after glancing at each other, they all left the teleportation array. In the end, only Lin Mo was left standing alone outside the bamboo forest, deducting 1 while quietly watching the fire spread.

Until about an hour and a half later...

[Ding! The number of tasks has been reached, please go to the Trial Pavilion to deliver.] The system prompt sounded on the interface.

"All right!"

Lin Mo raised his head slightly and stretched out his hand towards the purple bamboo forest.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

In the distance, a three-colored flame suddenly rushed out from the raging fire, making a sound of breaking wind in the air, and returned to his palm at lightning speed.

"Snapped!"

After a snap of his fingers, the fire of [True Flame] was taken back by him.

The fire, which had lost the support of the spiritual energy of the fire, was like a sudden silent downpour. It went out in a few "swishes", revealing a pile of ashes and charcoal in the bamboo forest.

Lin Mo looked around and soon his eyes lit up.

Because in the smoke, there were a few places where lights were flickering.

"Something exploded!"

He rushed out quickly and picked up the things on the ground with quick eyes and hands.

【The gall of the purple bamboo snake has been obtained.】

【The skin of the purple bamboo snake has been obtained.】

[The purple bamboo snake scales have been obtained. 】

【…】

As his hands continued to pick up the bamboo ash in the forest, system prompts refreshed on the interface.

"If you can't get anything by doing dozens of them, you should get something by doing thousands of them!"

His eyes lit up, and without thinking twice, he collected all the exposed materials.

About ten minutes later, Lin Mo finally cleaned out the not-so-small purple bamboo forest.

At this moment, the cloth bag he brought was filled with at least hundreds of materials of various sizes.

He patted the cloth bag with a satisfied expression, and just before he was about to leave, he felt a different touch under his feet. He looked down and saw something shiny.

"Huh!? Are you brushing things again?"

Lin Mo looked a little surprised.

……

……

Qingyun Peak, the main hall of the Trial Pavilion.

People were coming and going in the hall, some accepting tasks at the bulletin board, some handing in tasks at the counter.

The sunlight poured in from outside the hall, illuminating the expensive jade floor, and reflecting the busy figures of the disciples in the hall.

"Snapped!"

A small bag of spirit stones was thrown on the counter, and a middle-level errand disciple with two lines on his chest said to Diao Youcai at the counter:

"Brother Diao, please count. This is the repayment for this month."

Diao Youcai smiled, opened the bag, counted the items, and raised his eyebrows.
"Pan Peng, your number is a little less than last month."

The servant named Pan Peng said helplessly: "Brother Diao, you know the situation. These two months are the enrollment season in the mortal world."

Diao Youcai chuckled, put the bag of spirit stones into his storage bag, and said:
"No matter how talented Chu Wange is, she is just one person. How can she affect your income?"

Pan Peng pulled the corner of his mouth and chuckled:
"You don't know, she is much more ruthless than the recommended students in previous years. She has spent the past half month clearing all the nearby leveling points. There are several leveling points that have already disappeared before I even had a chance to clear them. I can only wait until next month to refresh them."

"Tsk tsk, is he really that strong?" Diao Youcai said.

"She's ridiculously strong!" Pan Peng's tone became excited. "I dare say that among the top scorers on the Immortal Ranking in recent years, she is the most evil one. She may be able to make it into the top 100 of the Liangyu Ranking by the end of the year!"

Diao Youcai was really surprised this time: "Your evaluation is a bit high. You've already made it to the top 100 on the Liangyu list in less than half a year?"

Pan Peng groaned, but did not explain. Instead, he said, "If I remember correctly, Brother Diao, your ranking is exactly 100th on the Liangyu List, right? Then you have to be careful."

Diao Youcai frowned slightly, but didn't quite believe what he said, and smiled:
"I am a Daoyuan cultivator. Am I afraid of a freshman? Even if Chu Wange is a genius, I think it will take him a year or two to get into the top 100."

Pan Peng couldn't tell whether his smile was self-deprecating or self-boasting, so he just waved his hand and said:

"Well, anyway, I just hope that these recommended students can rush up as soon as possible and not compete with us low-level chores for food."

At this point, he couldn't help but complain: "Speaking of this, I heard that a recommended student ascended from the lower world these two days, and he set the Purple Bamboo Forest on fire this morning!"

Diao Youcai's eyes showed a little surprise: "So fierce! Burned down the Purple Bamboo Forest?"

"It's absolutely true. One of my junior brothers even took a photo and posted it on the sect's spiritual domain website." Pan Peng nodded and said, "Anyway, the lives of us menial disciples are getting harder and harder. We don't know when we can complete our mission of following the master's orders and become outer disciples."

Diao Youcai smiled and was about to say a few words of comfort when suddenly there was another "pop" sound. A cloth bag that was not small was thrown on the counter. Several snake scales leaked out of the bag. A voice rang in his ears:

"Brother Diao, hand in the task."

Diao Youcai turned around and saw that overly handsome face, smiling brightly at him:
"By the way, do you collect materials here?"

Lin Mo pushed the cloth bag on the table forward: "If you want to buy it, can you help me check the price?"

Diao Youcai looked at the full cloth bag and said in shock:

"Did you brush all these?"

As soon as these words came out, he and Pan Peng at the counter reacted at the same time:

"Are you the one who set fire to the bamboo forest?!"
