Chapter 43: Master-Level Fireball Spell
Chapter 43: Master-Level Fireball Spell
Five days later.
Deep into the night, Lucas Chen was still busy.
He cleaned the Violet Cloud Copper Furnace and tidied up the alchemy room.
He scooped the ashes from the fire pit into a large bucket and tossed it outside. Someone would come to collect it the next day, as he had paid a monthly fee of one spirit stone for the night soil service.
The person who collected the night soil would also take care of the garbage.
After cleaning everything, Lucas Chen took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep to take a cold shower in the courtyard.
He also brought back the potted plants that Fiona Xi had entrusted him to care for, to prevent them from being stolen.
Most of the plants were ornamental, but there were also first-tier spirit plants, such as Lunar Glow Grass.
After finishing everything, Lucas Chen felt a sense of relief.
He returned to his bed and sat cross-legged.
Taking out a jade bottle, he poured out a pill the size of a longan.
"This is the last Energy-Nourishing Pill."
Lucas Chen's expression remained calm as he swallowed the pill and then began to circulate the Everlasting Technique, refining the pill while also absorbing the ambient spirit energy.
Half an hour later, Lucas Chen slowly opened his eyes.
The slight fullness sensation in his lower abdomen indicated that his cultivation had advanced once more.
He opened his attribute panel.

Lucas Chen stared at the panel, feeling a mix of emotions.
Everything had changed, except for his predetermined lifespan and spirit roots.
Compared to the blank attributes he had when he first crossed over, he had undergone a tremendous transformation.
First, his realm had changed. There was nothing surprising about this. With five hundred spirit stones worth of Energy-Nourishing Pills, a first-tier spirit vein, a perfect-level Everlasting Technique, and the assistance of Lunar Glow Grass over the past half month, his progress bar had reached 61.
If he had enough Energy-Nourishing Pills, breaking through to the 5th Layer of Qi Refinement was just a matter of time.
Next was his techniques.
The proficiency level of the Everlasting Technique had steadily approached the Master level through his persistent efforts.
He was only ten points away, which would take about three to four days.
Lucas Chen was not in a hurry. Although he was eager to see what changes a Master-level Everlasting Technique would bring, he had patience.
He had endured the toughest times, and a short while longer was just the loneliness before dawn.
Then, there were the spells!
In fact, this was the category that had changed the most and the most significantly.
There were so many changes that he didn't even know where to start.
He knew that after learning from Gu Kay how to apply these spells in daily life, his proficiency had skyrocketed.
With a perfect-level Unrestricted Movement technique and the recently learned Wind Mastery, Lucas Chen's speed had far surpassed that of flying magical artifacts.
He had compared it with a lotus leaf flying disk yesterday, and it was indeed slower than his own speed.
As for the others, Entanglement and Cleaning were just part of his daily training and had practical uses in daily life, though they were not as useful in combat.
The Spirit Eye technique had progressed particularly quickly over the past half month, likely due to his constant use while refining pills.
In a short time, it had reached the Proficient level.
The Attraction technique had progressed even faster, already reaching the Perfect level. He could now skillfully manipulate the set of Jade Emerald Knives.
If he encountered enemies in the future, this would give him another means of combat.
A cause for celebration!
But what delighted Lucas Chen the most was the Fireball Spell.
From initial mastery to his current grandmaster level, Luo Chen has poured an immense amount of effort into this spell.
The spiritual energy he has expended is countless.
But the final results are worth every bit of the effort.
With a single thought!
In the blink of an eye, ten sparks of fire float in his palm, like glowing fireflies, breathtakingly beautiful.
This is the qualitative change of the Fireball Spell at the grandmaster level.
No more hand seals are needed; only the supply of spiritual energy is required. While the speed hasn't changed much, the quantity has undergone a revolutionary transformation.
Instead of releasing one fireball at a time, he can now release ten at once.
If he is willing to invest more spiritual energy, each of these ten fireballs will be as powerful as a single, individually released one.
From now on, Luo Chen's mobile artillery strategy has advanced to a new level.
Small-area fire coverage!
Ten fireballs of maximum power, all launched simultaneously, leave no room for the enemy to escape or hide.
Luo Chen has renamed this technique. The Fireball Spell just doesn't sound good enough, so he calls it "Dancing Fireflies"!
With a casual flick, the ten sparks land on the floor tiles, hissing as they hit the surface.
After reviewing his spell list, he moves on to his skill list.
He is still a first-tier alchemist. Until he successfully crafts a second-tier elixir, there won't be any changes.
The Spirit Nourishing Pill remains at the grandmaster level, as he continues to refine it to diversify his product range.
The biggest change is the Wondrous Pill.
He spent four months moving from novice to proficient, failing over a hundred times and investing a staggering four to five hundred spirit stones. At one point, he faced a significant loss, relying on the modest profits from the Spirit Nourishing Pill to keep him afloat.
Back then, he was always on edge, fearing a financial loss.
It wasn't until last month that he barely reached the proficient level.
But everything has changed.
Just like capital, the initial accumulation phase is always the hardest.
But once you have your first breakthrough, subsequent progress is like having a cheat code.
Many fortunes have skyrocketed in just a few short years.
Luo Chen is in exactly that situation now!
After a year of preparation and four months of grinding his proficiency, he has taken off this month.
In just half a month, he has refined thirty batches, with six successful ones, yielding a total of sixty Wondrous Pills.
His proficiency increased by sixty points, combined with the five successful attempts from the end of last month, pushing him from proficient to expert level.
Luo Chen hasn't had the chance to test the effects of the expert-level Wondrous Pill refining technique yet.
But he knows that this is the snowball phase. His skills are improving, and the spirit stones he earns are increasing. The faster he earns, the faster he can grind his proficiency.
Grandmaster level is within reach!
And the surprises don't end there.
[Achievement Points: 11 (Can be used to learn corresponding realm techniques, spells, or skills)]
Another recharge over ten points means he has another opportunity to enhance himself.
Whether it's a technique, a spell, or a skill!
But Luo Chen hasn't decided what to do with these eleven achievement points yet.
Apart from the Healing Spell he hasn't learned, he only has a partial recipe for the Jade Dew Pill.
The Healing Spell isn't difficult, and he is confident he can learn it on his own eventually.
The Jade Dew Pill recipe isn't suitable either, as it is a second-tier elixir, not corresponding to his current realm. The main ingredients are already second-tier materials, suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier beasts.
"I'll save them for later; they will be useful eventually."
"And for now, I don't need to rush refining elixirs. I need to gather some funds first."
Luo Chen glanced at the empty Spirit Nourishing Pill vial, missing the rocket-like sensation of rapid progression through elixir consumption.
