Chapter 14 Heading to Shanghai
"Oh." Lu Jie gave a nonchalant "oh," which stunned Mo Fan, who had come over to show off.
Dude, your reaction is way too calm.
When others learned that they had been promoted to the intermediate level, they were all amazed, envious, jealous, etc., but you were so indifferent.
Seeing Mo Fan's bewildered expression, Lu Jie chuckled and said, "You've only broken through to the mid-level. If you want to unleash true mid-level magic, you'd better go and practice with Star Essence for three months. Besides, this isn't 7, it's 49!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan still stubbornly replied, "Anyway, I'm faster than you guys. By the time you break through to the intermediate level, I estimate I'll have a dozen or twenty intermediate-level star stones under my control."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a phone call came in to Mo Fan. When he took out his phone, he saw that it was his father calling.
Without any hesitation, Mo Fan answered the phone in front of Lu Jie, and hung up after only a few words.
"Old Lu, my dad told me that there are resettlement houses in Shanghai by Bocheng. Why don't you come to Shanghai with me? It'll be good if we go together and can look after each other," Mo Fan suggested.
"That works too, since we can't stay in Bocheng any longer anyway," Lu Jie said after a moment's thought.
"Hehe, we two good brothers are in the same place again." Mo Fan put his arm around Lu Jie's shoulder and laughed.
Afterwards, both parties tidied up briefly and then took a car to the nearest island, Xiamen, where they transferred to a high-speed train to Shanghai.
After a several-hour high-speed train ride, they finally arrived in Shanghai.
After getting off the high-speed train, the bustling metropolis came into view.
After visiting big cities a few times, when you compare them to your hometown, you can't help but sigh: Big cities are so incredibly prosperous!
[Ding! Host has checked in. Congratulations on obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!]
As soon as Lu Jie got into the vehicle heading to the resettlement area, the system's familiar voice echoed in his mind.
The Azure Lotus Core Flame? The Azure Lotus Core Flame ranked 19th on the list of strange flames?!
On the surface, Lu Jie remained calm, but inwardly he was quite pleasantly surprised.
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, as the name suggests, is a flame that exists within the molten lava of the Earth's core. It is born deep within the earth and undergoes countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting by the earth's fire.
It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it reaches its full potential, its color is bluish, and a cluster of blue flames grows in the heart of the lotus. This flame is called the Blue Lotus Flame, also known as the Blue Lotus Earth Core Flame. This flame is of unfathomable power and can even trigger volcanic eruptions in areas near volcanoes, thus creating a destructive force in nature!
Lu Jie recalled the description of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this flame a Heavenly Seed, would it?
[Note: Due to the host's insufficient strength, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has been temporarily sealed. The seal will be gradually lifted as the host's cultivation improves!]
Then, the system casually sent out these words again.
Lu Jie also breathed a sigh of relief. With his small frame, even a noble horse would have a hard time being saved if he had fused with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Before long, they arrived at the resettlement area provided by Shanghai for Bocheng.
This residential area can accommodate about a thousand people, and there are about a thousand people here.
When I first arrived at this resettlement area, I could tell at a glance that the community looked very simple and comfortable. Anyone who knows about construction projects would know that the entire community was definitely built with shoddy workmanship.
The floors are very close together, making it feel like living in a slightly larger box, which is quite oppressive.
This was in stark contrast to the bustling city they saw when they got off the high-speed train.
They arrived here close to dinnertime. They had set off for Xiamen Island at 8 a.m., took the high-speed train at 9 a.m., and arrived in Shanghai close to 3 p.m. They then took a 20-minute bus ride to the subway station and then another hour and a half on the subway to get to this area.
"Damn, this place is too remote. When I make money in the future, I'm definitely going to buy a big house in the city," Mo Fan said.
"Then keep working hard. A decent location should at least be a small goal in itself." Lu Jie patted him on the shoulder and then went to his floor as instructed by the neighborhood committee.
Mo Fan froze on the spot. "Damn it, that damned Lu, you can't just ruin things like this!"
Ye Xinxia covered her mouth and chuckled, finding it quite amusing to watch Mo Fan like this.
"Alright, alright, it's good enough to have a place to stay," Mo Jiaxing said, and then they went into the first floor.
After all, considering Ye Xinxia's situation, they chose a room on the first floor.
Lu Jie arrived at his room, which was simply furnished.
Aside from the essentials like a bed, sofa, and water heater, there's practically nothing else.
Lu Jie shrugged. It seemed he would have to make do for now.
After putting down his luggage, he sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to refine the seed of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Because it was produced by the system, the process of refining the fire seed was not painful at all. Instead, it felt like drinking a sip of hot milk tea, leaving the body feeling warm and comfortable.
Consciousness was immersed in the spiritual universe. Apart from the emerald green plant nebula, the fiery red stardust of his own had turned blue at this moment.
However, due to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the fire-type stardust broke through to become a nebula on its own.
Damn, are they obsessed with the color green?
Lu Jie's lips twitched. When he first obtained the Mirror Flower Water Moon sword, the hilt was green. Although the system modified it to resemble a Tang sword, the color of the hilt remained unchanged.
Emerald green plant nebulae, cyan fire nebulae...
Lu Jie: Damn it, this is coming for me!
Thinking that he hadn't awakened his intermediate level yet, Lu Jie decided to take some time to awaken it and see what the new level would be.
A month later, Lu Jie finally got the reservation number to reserve the new system awakening. He would have to wait another month before he could awaken it.
Within those two months, he was also able to cast intermediate-level fire magic.
With the added blessing of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, a single strike would be enough to instantly kill a minor general-level demon.
Today, Lu Jie has come to the Mingzhu Mage Tower.
Because today is the day he scheduled to awaken.
Stepping into the Mingzhu Mage Tower, he was led to the place of awakening by a lady in a flowing white cheongsam.
"Mr. Guo, this is the appointment for today's awakening." The lady in the cheongsam said with a slight stutter when she arrived.
"Okay, let him come over, I'm busy here." The man surnamed Guo said, pointing to the awakening room next door while he was busy.
The man surnamed Guo was naturally Guo Liyu. He walked into a room, took out an Awakening Stone, and gestured for Lu Jie to come with him.
After entering a room, Guo Liyu said, "Since you didn't request to use a guiding stone, then awakening other elemental types depends on your own talent and bloodline."
After saying that, Guo Liyu left, leaving Lu Jie alone in the quiet awakening room.
Lu Jie didn't think much of it and placed his hand on the Awakening Stone. Two bright beams of light swept across his mental world.
