Chapter 140 "Phoenix Man" Lin Mo! The use of the Fire-Separating Divine Power! (Subscribe)
What is this mess?

While Lin Mo was riding the immortal boat back to the Spiritual Cultivation Valley, he frowned as he looked at the posts on the forum about him and Chu Wange.

There are all kinds of opinions!

The most outrageous one is the one in the popular post, "The story that must be told about Lin Mo and Chu Wange..."

It describes in detail how "he" got close to Chu Wange in the secular world, how he pretended to be a pretty boy and got the qualification of being admitted as a recommended student, and how he relied on Chu Wange to occupy the best position on the ninth floor of the enlightenment platform on the enlightenment cliff...

At the end of the story, it even describes that Lin Mo betrayed his friend and fell in love with Senior Sister Zhuang from the Alchemy Academy. After ascending to heaven, he broke up with Chu Wange and planned to achieve a hundred consecutive kills in the sword arena, using the latter as a stepping stone to become the most dazzling genius among this year's freshmen!
The reason why Chu Wange is in seclusion now is because she was deeply hurt by him and is in seclusion to heal her wounds...

So I have become a Phoenix Man?

Lin Mo's expression was full of confusion. He didn't understand how such a fabricated post could become popular on the forum?
Just because there were a few photos of him and Chu Wange having dinner together at Wudao Cliff, and a few photos of him and Senior Sister Zhuang returning to the cave together, does that mean it is true?

No wonder when he walked on the street today, many people looked at him with strange eyes...

Lin Mo was speechless.

When he got off the immortal boat at the Spiritual Cultivation Valley, Zhang Jingfu, who was in charge of the extradition, looked at him with complicated eyes and said:
"Brother Lin, Senior Sister Zhuang is a good person. You must not let her down."

Huh? What is going on?
Lin Mo just felt a huge headache, and suddenly felt that being famous in the sword-fighting arena was not a good thing.

He was too lazy to explain too much. This kind of thing always makes things worse the more he explained. There was nothing much to say. After getting off the fairy boat, he walked all the way to his cave.

When he arrived at the door of Cave No. 404, Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

The red brick and green tile building in front of him and the retro courtyard gate made his eyes light up.

I almost forgot that the decoration of the cave should be almost completed by now!
The main reason was that before Lin Mo left, the "bosses" invited by Jiugong Pavilion were still procrastinating on the work, and they were taking their time in setting up the formation every day, which wasted a lot of time.

The construction of other facilities in the cave must also be started after the formation is completed.

Therefore, before he left, the cave still looked like a "unfinished house", but when he came back, he saw an antique mansion in front of him, and was naturally surprised.

"Brother Shan and the others are so fast!?"

When I left, the spirit gathering formation was barely in the final stage, but when I came back, the cave was already completed?
While thinking this, Lin Mo identified the identity, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and walked into the "cave".

The first thing that caught his eye was the extremely spacious vestibule, the floor of which was paved with neatly arranged bluestone slabs. There was even a pond in the middle of the courtyard with lotus leaves on it, and the fairy bun frog he had harvested earlier was resting on a lotus leaf.

As for the residential environment, it was better than he had imagined. It was a five-story medium-sized building equipped with all kinds of modern facilities for convenient living.

The rooms are divided into different categories, there are special training rooms, as well as rest areas, entertainment areas, dining areas... everything you need.

Outside the buildings, there are several reclaimed spiritual fields and a small martial arts square.

However, it seems that only the initial reclamation has been completed and planting has not yet begun.

Lin Mo looked the cave up and down, inside and out, out of curiosity, and then he heard the sound of the cave door being pushed open.

A beautiful figure walked in from the gate, and seeing him admiring the scenery in the courtyard, she said in surprise:

"Junior Brother Lin, you're back!"

Lin Mo turned around and saw Zhuang Weiwan coming back from outside. He smiled and nodded at him:
"Well, I'm back."

Zhuang Weiwan subconsciously wanted to take out his inspiration and contact the senior brother who had gone crazy looking for Lin Mo at Lingdan Peak, but he stopped on second thought and said:
"Junior Brother Lin, have you completed your job transfer?"

Lin Mo nodded as a matter of course. Zhuang Weiwan showed a hint of disappointment, but still managed a smile and said:
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, for officially receiving the inheritance from our sect!"

Although I feel disappointed, my congratulations are still sincere.

In fact, she had already realized that Lin Mo's personality was not suitable for alchemy.

It would be fine if that inheritance was not as good as the Alchemy Academy, and she might have given a few more words of advice.

But these days, she heard from her teacher that Lin Mo's lineage was extraordinary.

The teacher didn't want to say how serious it was, so she naturally had no way of knowing.

I only know that this inheritance is even several levels higher than the formation cultivation inheritance of the Jiugong Pavilion.

According to the teacher, most of the Jiugong Pavilion's formation disciples who usually look down on others are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Luoxing Peak lineage.

A small number of geniuses may be able to follow behind them to carry their shoes and do odd jobs.

And even if the teacher didn't admit it himself, Zhuang Weiwan still felt vaguely that the inheritance of the Alchemy Academy of their lineage seemed to be incomparable.

So although it was a pity that Zhuang Weiwan could not work with Lin Mo, he did not comment too much on the matter.

After all, she witnessed with her own eyes how Lin Mo stood out at the Enlightenment Cliff, ascended to the Lingxu Realm, and then shined at the Sword Arena.

Compared to refining medicine day and night, perhaps the combat cultivation route is the most suitable for the other party.

Zhuang Weiwan skipped this sensitive topic and said, "Junior Brother Lin, have you finished looking at the cave?"

"I took a rough look at it." Lin Mo nodded and then asked,
"Senior Sister Zhuang, this spiritual field has not yet been planted. Didn't you buy any spiritual seeds?"

When talking about this, Zhuang Weiwan showed some excitement on his face and said:

"No, I mainly want to discuss this with you. After all, this spiritual field belongs to you, so I'd like to hear your advice."

Lin Mo smiled and said:
"What is there to discuss? Senior Sister Zhuang can make the decisions on these matters on her own."

"Besides, I've already said that since Senior Sister Zhuang paid for the construction of this cave, you are half the owner. You don't need to ask me about this matter."

He always firmly believes that professional matters should be left to professionals.

He had already discussed the income from the spiritual fields with Zhuang Weiwan.

Before paying back the money borrowed from the other party to build the cave, the spiritual field was unconditionally leased to Zhuang Weiwan.

After paying back the five thousand low-grade spirit stones, the profits from the spirit fields will be split 50-50.

Even though the land is his and the spiritual vein is his, the initial investment in the spiritual field and the maintenance during the process... are equally important.

So a 50% profit is considered a big profit for him.

When Zhuang Weiwan heard the words "half master", a slight blush appeared on his fair face. He hummed softly, then raised his head and asked:
"Junior Brother Lin, have you had dinner? I brought some cakes from the Fairy Food Shop, would you like to eat together?"

Didn’t we agree to lose weight and not eat cakes?

Lin Mo took a look at Zhuang Weiwan's plump figure, which was as full as a ripe peach, but had not been picked by anyone. There was a natural sense of lazy charm in her every move.

You are definitely a "talented athlete" and you don't need to lose weight at all!

He smiled brightly and said, "Haha, thank you very much, Senior Sister Zhuang, for your hospitality."

Zhuang Weiwan hummed and watched Lin Mo walk towards the living room, the blush on his face becoming more obvious.

Was Junior Brother Lin looking at that place just now...

She lowered her head slightly, but most of her vision was blocked, and she felt a little embarrassed:
If I had known, I would not have bought sweets, I would have bought fairy fruit instead. …

……

About half an hour later, Lin Mo, who had eaten and drunk his fill, did not return to his room to rest immediately. Instead, he and Zhuang Weiwan went to the small martial arts square at the back.

He first carefully examined the two new magical powers on his panel, then clicked on the magical power details to see more information, starting with divination:
[Divination (1st Bronze Diviner, Beginner)]: 1000/
[Note: One hexagram a day to predict good and bad luck]

As one of the innate magical powers, the proficiency in it seems not much.

If it was like other spells, Lin Mo only needed 3,000 points of merit to max it out, but...

[Ding! This magical power cannot be invested with merit points. ]

As soon as he thought about it, he received a prompt from the system.

That’s right, the proficiency bar of divination cannot be increased using merit points.

As for the only point on the panel, it is still the increase in the previous calculation of picking up money.

"According to what you said, if I read one hexagram every day, it would take nearly three years to reach the first level?"

Lin Mo fell into deep thought. Is it just him, or are the innate magical powers of other professions also like this?
He shook his head, but did not continue to dwell on it. Instead, he looked at the details page of [Five Elements and Eight Diagrams Magical Power] and clicked on the only word [Lihuo] that lit up below:
[Fire Divine Ability (Foundation Building·Beginning)]: 0/3000
There is no excessive explanation about the Fire Li Divine Power.

Lin Mo also invested a sum of merit points as he did just now:
[Ding! You invested 100 points of merit in the Fire-Separating Divine Power, Divine Power Experience Points +30]

Along with a pleasant reminder sound, the experience value of the Lihuo Divine Ability jumped up a little bit.

"Very good, you can add some!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

Moreover, as the experience points increased, without much explanation, some preliminary ways of using the Lihuo Divine Power automatically emerged in my mind.

"It seems to be... a fire control technique?"

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. In just a moment, a rose made of flames appeared in his hand.

"ah!"

Zhuang Weiwan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the flaming rose. The blush that had gradually faded away after dinner slowly crept back onto her face.

But then she looked at the flaming rose in Lin Mo's hand, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became.

Lin Mo held the flaming rose in his hand without any hindrance. The petals looked so lifelike that it was hard to look away at first glance...

Such a "real" rose!

Zhuang Weiwan was amazed by the other party's ability to control fire.

But the next second, the rose in Lin Mo's hand changed its shape, from a rose to a blooming mountain lotus, still "full of vitality" and looking very real.

Lin Mo was also a little surprised. This [Fire Separation Divine Ability] was really something. Just by having a preliminary grasp of it, he could simulate such a realistic flower?

After thinking for a moment, he invested another merit point into the panel.

[Ding! You invested 1000 points of merit in the Fire-Separating Divine Power, Divine Power Experience Points +300]

As the system prompt ended, the experience bar directly increased by one tenth.

Lin Mo's experience in controlling fire also surged in his mind. His eyes lit up slightly, and then the flame in his hand changed its form again, and it switched forms quickly -

A flying sword, a whisk, a Taoist robe...

There are also cakes, ceramic flower pots, tables, chairs and benches...

The fire in his hands was like a toy that could be shaped at will.

The more Lin Mo played, the more elaborate his creations became, and the things he built became more and more complicated, with his mind completely immersed in them.

"Not enough, come again!"

After a moment, his eyes reflected a little fire and he said to himself.

[Ding! You invested 1000 points of merit in the Fire-Separating Divine Power, Divine Power Experience Points +300]

[Ding! You have invested 1000 points of merit in the Fire-Separating Divine Power...]

【…】

As he invested three or four merit points in succession, his understanding of the use of the [Fire Separation Divine Power] became more profound and clearer.

A few minutes later……

He created a fairy "Mantou Frog", which walked slowly in his palm with slightly clumsy steps...

Zhuang Weiwan, who was standing next to him, almost cried out in surprise after seeing this scene.

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

She had seen Lin Mo's fire control techniques at the Enlightenment Cliff. At that time, he was just beginning to control the strange fire and was very green in every aspect.

It can be seen that he has a certain amount of talent, but after all, he is still a newcomer who has not yet entered the foundation-building stage.

How long has it been?

After ascending to the Lingxu Realm, there is still one day left before half a month!
How come the fire control technology suddenly improved so rapidly?

Such fire control technology cannot be achieved even by alchemy disciples in the Alchemy Academy without several years of hard training.

How did Junior Brother Lin do it?
Before Zhuang Weiwan had recovered from her shock, Lin Mo's actions the next moment went beyond her comprehension.

After Lin Mo constructed the "Mantou Frog", he seemed to ponder for a moment, and then the "Mantou Frog" curled up its body.

A few seconds later, a fireball of medium size floated in his palm.

He just snapped his fingers, and with a whoosh, the fireball flew straight out -

"Oh!"

The fireball hit the target in the training ground and exploded.

A faint smell of burnt charcoal slowly dissipated in the air, and Zhuang Weiwan slowly came back to his senses from his shock, his expression full of confusion.

Isn't it about fire control?
How did it turn into a spell again?
