Chapter 85 Discusses 108 Ways to Eat Shark Fin

Outside the Forbidden Forest, after Celia left, Austin casually picked up his fishing rod and prepared to go inside.

But then he noticed the fish fin and the note next to the fishing rod, and he picked them up and took a look.

[Grandpa Austin, this is a thank you for borrowing my fishing rod, please accept it ^_^]

"A...shark fin?"

Austin picked it up and examined it for a moment.

"Why is it blue... Wait, no, it's not blue, it's sealed by blue runes."

Austin immediately opened the door and went inside, found a magnifying glass, and carefully examined the runes in the shark fin. The more he looked, the more exquisite he found them.

"I've never heard of this rune before, neither in its style nor in its carving material. And this child, I have no idea where he came from."

After glancing at the note again, Austin pondered for a moment before finally making his decision—

Let's try it.

Sending shark fins, what else could it be but food?
"But it seems you forgot to teach me how to eat."

Austin stroked his beard, wondering what special way to eat a small shark fin could possibly be.
Grab it in one swift motion and swallow it whole!

As soon as the shark fin enters his mouth, Austin immediately uses magic to envelop it, and with chewing, breaks the shark fin into small particles before sending it into his body.

As soon as it entered his stomach, Austin's eyes widened.

"Such a concentrated magic, and... pollution!"

He quickly sat up and entered a meditative state to purify the pollution.

While purifying the pollution, he sensed the magic and strange power contained in the shark fin, which was improving his own magic and his body.

After a long while, Austin opened his eyes and exhaled the last bit of contamination.

"Good stuff. Although it's polluted, it can refine the purity of magic power and strengthen the body. If I had ten more, I might be able to break through to the sixth rank... There aren't many things that can refine the purity of magic power. Let me see what kind of fish it is."

After searching through the school's documents for a long time with his bracelet, Austin found no relevant records. He was stunned for a moment, then, not believing it, he connected to the Celestial's Protoss network and began searching through various documents.

Before long, he found several documents that resembled the originals.

The fish depicted on it are all long-extinct species.

Austin suddenly noticed one of them.

"The beluga whale?"

Austin had an idea—

Could it be that what I just ate was the fin of a beluga whale?

It seems possible, but it's extremely far-fetched.

No matter how you look at it, there's no way Celia could capture the White Whale.

wrong!

There is another possibility.

Austin thought of the beluga whale that had been pulled back today.

According to the principal, the beluga whale became the prey of a mysterious big shot.

If Celia knew that mysterious powerful figure, it wouldn't be impossible for him to give her some shark fin soup!

"Perhaps that seventh-tier mage asked Celia to requisition my fishing rod to fish for beluga whales?"

Austin started laughing as he spoke.

He didn't think about it anymore.

Some things are better left unthought up.

Especially for an old man like myself who only knows how to drink tea and fish all day long.

……

Celia's dormitory.

"Given your insufficient strength, you can't digest shark fin directly, so a special processing method is needed. Do as I say, first cut the whole shark fin into strips..."

Under Ross's guidance, Celia carefully prepared the shark fins.

Under the enchanted knife, the shark fin was cut into 30 even, thin strips. By channeling magic along a specific route, all the impurities in the shark fin were briefly purified before it underwent soaking and stewing.

Fortunately, there were no classes today, allowing Celia to keep busy until the evening.

Even the next day it wasn't better, and they continued to treat it.

Classes resumed the next day, but Celia didn't go; instead, she asked for leave and continued processing shark fins in her dormitory.

It wasn't until evening, after undergoing various complex processes, that the shark fins were presented to Celia.

"Take out one, freeze the rest and store them properly."

Celia took out a strand.

“Eat it directly?”

This strand is about 20 centimeters long and only one to two millimeters in diameter, like a rice noodle.

"It's up to you. You can eat it directly or cook it with other ingredients. But be careful, you can only eat one prepared shark fin a day. If you eat too much, you won't be able to cleanse your body of toxins."

After all that, Celia clearly had no interest in making three dishes and a soup anymore, so she just opened her mouth and gulped it down.

Well……

It has little flavor; it's like eating chewy jelly.

Celia guessed it was because no ingredients or salt were added during the processing.

After all, Ross's method of treatment, while appearing to be cooking, actually didn't involve adding any other ingredients, only magical materials.

These magical ingredients are lucky if they're not bitter; it's impossible for them to taste good.

Thinking of this, Celia felt a slight bitterness in the shark fin in her mouth.

She quickly chewed it and swallowed it.

A massive amount of magic power exploded within her body, and Celia quickly entered a meditative state to guide and refine this magic power.

"After processing, the beluga whale's fins can not only be refined to increase the purity of magic and physical strength, but also absorb residual magic and transform it into its own magic, thus achieving an all-round improvement."

Ross's voice came through, but Celia couldn't respond. She endured the surge of magic, trying her best to guide it.

After a long while, Celia opened her eyes and exhaled a mouthful of contaminants.

She felt as if many impurities had been removed from her magic, increasing its purity.

Increased purity of magic has many benefits. It not only makes it easier to use the puppet, but also increases the power of the magic and reduces its consumption.

Ordinary sorcerers cannot manipulate magic like Ross. The only way to reduce the magic consumption of spells is to increase the purity of magic—not counting the reduction in magic consumption after advancing in rank.

At the same rank, the amount and purity of magic power affect a mage's actual combat ability, second only to the performance of a magic puppet.

"Ice spikes!"

Celia manipulated the puppet to unleash an ice spike attack, then carefully sensed the effect of purified magic on spellcasting.

"I feel like my magic consumption has decreased by one-tenth."

“With your rank, the first ten of these thirty shark fins can reduce your magic consumption by about one-tenth,” Ross said.

"Wouldn't that mean we could cast spells with zero cost?"

Ross looked at her like she was an idiot: "Yes, yes, yes."

Celia took out her bracelet and began calculating how much magic power she could reduce after ten uses.

After calculating the result, the girl exclaimed, "It can reduce consumption by about 60%, that's a lot!"

"After 10 uses, the effect will be greatly reduced, eventually decreasing magic power consumption by about 70%," Ross said.

"That means the magic power that could originally unleash three spells can, after being fully refined, unleash ten!"

Such a clear upgrade made Celia eager to use her second shark fin.

However, she felt that the residual pollution in her body had not been completely purified, so she had to give up.

"No rush, there are still three months until the final exams. I'll aim for the second tier before then!"

The girl began to think about how to cook shark fin with other dishes the next day.
