[Gege, I'm going to check the second floor. Wait for me here. I'll be right back!] Xiaoshi finally couldn't resist the temptation. She leaped over Lin Jingge's head and onto the stairs. In a few steps, she disappeared from sight.

[Eh...] Lin Jingge wanted to warn Xiaoshi to be careful, but to her surprise, it ran straight up to the second floor. It was incredibly fast; she had never seen it run this fast when it was fighting for food!

In the end, Lin Jingge could only let it be, and she wandered around the lobby.

She took a liking to many things, but after seeing the prices marked with several zeros, she gave up the idea.

Just as she was about to call Xiao Shi down and leave, the little blue flame inside her body, which had been very quiet, suddenly stirred.

It took her a lot of effort to suppress the little blue flames that were trying to leap out.

You should know that the little blue flame almost exhausted her life force when she fought the Spirit King in the morning. If she hadn't taken it back in time, the little flame would have been directly dispersed by the opponent.

But suddenly a riot broke out, which was clearly unusual.

Lin Jingge looked around.

It eventually landed in a corner, where the flames were sealed inside a transparent compartment.

She instinctively walked towards the flames.

The closer she got, the more active the little blue flames within her became. The entire flame seemed to convey the same emotion to Lin Jingge: she wanted it!

“Lightning strike fire.” Lin Jingge read out the name of the flame written on it.

Her mind was full of questions. The name of this flame was too unfamiliar to her; she didn't understand it at all.

Her gaze then fell on the price.

Compared to everything else in the hall, it couldn't be cheaper, costing only 100 contribution points.

Just then, Xiao Shi rushed back.

After wandering around the second floor, its cat eyes turned red from looking at everything.

There are so many wonderful things, countless treasures of nature! Even the materials Lin Jingge needs to refine the Life-Giving Pill are all there!

Just as it was about to run down to tell Lin Jingge the good news, it saw Lin Jingge staring at a ball of flame.

[Gege, you don't actually want to buy this, do you?] Xiaoshi glanced at the flame, jumped onto the counter, and asked Lin Jingge.

[It's not that I want it, it's that Little Blue Flame wants it.] Lin Jingge looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about the flame. In fact, because it had been suppressed within the transparent grid, the flame had become quite weak and empty.

"Lightning-struck fire is the flame left after a lightning strike. It sounds nice, but in reality, it's not much stronger than a regular fire." Xiao Shi retrieved information about lightning-struck fire from the Heavenly Book and told Lin Jingge. As if afraid Lin Jingge wouldn't believe him, he added, "Just look at the price: one hundred contribution points. This is probably the cheapest thing here."

Xiao Shi had just seen treasures worth tens of thousands upstairs, so a hundred contribution points were practically free for it.

However, it forgot that Lin Jinge didn't contribute a single point.

Although that's what Xiaoshi said, the yearning of the little blue flame within her body was undeniable.

She had suspected that the little blue flame was seeking something else, but when she got closer to the flame, she dismissed that idea.

Because the little blue flame became more active inside her.

She thought she would wait until she had more contribution points to consider buying it. One hundred wasn't too expensive, and if the flame was still there by then, it wouldn't hurt to buy it for Little Blue Flame, since Little Blue Flame had been injured while helping her.

After leaving the contribution point exchange area, Lin Jingge went straight back to her residence.

Because I have to go out of the academy for a mission tomorrow, I didn't go to the night market today.

Lin Jingge closed the door, took out a cushion and sat on the ground. She then took out a lot of things and piled them on the ground.

The little blue flame was absorbing several spirit stones in an open space inside the room.

Xiao Shi was envious and immediately asked Lin Jingge for one too.

The cat and the fire kept to themselves, quietly absorbing spiritual energy.

Lin Jingge was picking up ores and some materials she had prepared herself from the ground.

She's about to stir up a hornet's nest, so she has to be prepared!

Xiao Shi was contentedly holding several spirit stones, with several more lying beneath him.

What it enjoys most is this feeling of being immersed in a pile of spirit stones.

Xiao Shi, who had been feeling quite content, suddenly slapped his forehead and sat up abruptly.

[Gege, I forgot to tell you, the second floor where you exchange contribution points has lots of things we need!]

[What is it that you don't want?] Lin Jingge chuckled, clearly not understanding Xiao Shi's words, assuming that Xiao Shi wanted everything he saw.

[No, I mean, the remaining ingredients for the Life-Giving Elixir are all upstairs on the second floor!] Xiao Shi communicated with Lin Jingge in her mind, adding, [Although they are available, they are extremely expensive, with many zeros in the price.]

Xiao Shi muttered to himself unconsciously.

Over there, Lin Jingge, who was selecting materials while mentally chatting with Xiao Shi, suddenly paused.

The iron rod he was holding suddenly slipped from his grasp.

"Clang—" The iron rod fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and rolled twice on the ground.

"What did you say?!" Lin Jingge exclaimed in surprise, ran to Xiao Shi, and picked up the whole cat.

[Meow—] Xiao Shi was startled by this sudden action, and its fur, which was formed from gathered energy, also bristled: [Don't get excited, I have a video here, I'll send it to you, you can count how many zeros there are yourself.]

As she spoke, Xiao Shi sent the scene she had recorded to Lin Jingge.

The scenes on the second floor flashed through Lin Jingge's mind.

The final three ingredients of the Shengdan elixir, especially the most difficult one to obtain, are all present!

This was something Lin Jingge never expected.

With red eyes, she looked at the image of the three herbs in her mind again and again.

Isn't this a case of God helping her?!

"It really came so easily..." Lin Jingge sighed.

[My goodness, could you please check the price?! Even if we didn't eat or drink while doing all the tasks, we probably couldn't even get a single herb, and those cost tens of thousands!]

"At least there's hope, isn't there?" Lin Jingge wiped her eyes and smiled.

The things on the second floor gave Lin Jingge a lot of hope.

Xiao Shi pursed her lips, not wanting to discourage Lin Jingge, and ultimately said nothing.

He felt that he hadn't wasted any spirit stones; compared to the old woman, what he had used was nothing at all.

After calming down, Lin Jingge was full of energy and quickly selected materials, intending to make something similar to an electric grid.

He summoned the little blue flame back into his palm and began to dissolve the ore and other materials.

The night passed quickly.

Lin Jingge got up very early and went straight out of the courtyard with the things she had prepared.

It's much more convenient once you leave the college.

Without the restrictions, it can take off.
