Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 318 Demon Crown
After seeing Ai Tutu off, Lin Ran returned to the apartment. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Yan Ji lying listlessly on Mo Fan's shoulder. She didn't seem to be in a good condition, and Mo Fan didn't know what she was thinking about.

Lin Ran said, "Little Yan Ji Mo Fan seems a little strange."

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan stroked Little Yan Ji's head and said after hearing Lin Ran's words.

As soon as he touched her, he immediately felt the scorching heat coming from her little forehead.

Although Little Yan Ji is a spirit of fire, as long as she doesn't show hostility, the temperature of the fire on her body is almost the same as human body temperature. Otherwise, how could Lingling hold her so often?

But the strange thing now is that when Mo Fan touched her head just now, he felt that kind of heat.

“Do you have a fever?” Mo Fan asked out of habit.

Lin Ran couldn't help but ask, "Can fire creatures also have fevers?"

After saying this, Mo Fan felt like an idiot. He looked at Lin Ran and said, "Do you know what's going on?"

Lin Ran shook his head.

"Woo woo~~" Little Yan Ji was still listless, looking like a drowsy child with a fever. Her pitiful appearance made Mo Fan feel distressed.

Xiao Yan Ji herself didn't know what was happening to her. The temperature of the flames on her body was becoming a little out of control.

"Let's go find Lingling. She just asked me to bring her some ice cream."

"Ah."

……

The two of them quickly brought Xiao Yan Ji to the Qingtian Hunting House. They pushed the door open and walked in. At this time, Lingling skipped class and was sitting at home with her feet up. She was concentrating on studying the clues of the totem left by Jiang Shaojun.

When she saw Lin Ran and the others coming in, she immediately told them: "There are indeed traces of a totem creature near Yantai. Lian Xishan did not lie to us. As long as we use the totem mark of the Moon Moth Phoenix, we should be able to dig out the true face of the totem creature. I hope everything goes well. By the way, what happened to Little Yan Ji?!"

“Lingling, we’ll talk about this later. First, help me see what happened to little Yan Ji.” Mo Fan carried little Yan Ji, who was like a small furnace at the moment, to the table.

Unexpectedly, the wooden table was soon burned black by the scorching heat from Little Yan Ji's body. Mo Fan picked up Little Yan Ji again in an instant and almost destroyed Old Man Bao's favorite table.

"Her temperature is very high." Lingling is now a little afraid to get close to Little Yanji.

"Ning~~" Little Yan Ji made a weak sound at this time. She herself didn't know why the flames on her body were no longer under her control. She even felt that an even stronger flame would erupt.

This feeling is very bad. If the Fire Spirit cannot control its own flames, it will be very easy for something to go wrong.

“Come to think of it, wasn’t Little Yan Ji also like this for a while before?” Ling Ling suddenly remembered something and said to Mo Fan.

Lin Ran remembered that there was a period of time when Little Yan Ji was setting fires everywhere.

“Really?” Mo Fan couldn’t remember when Little Yan Ji had ever been like this.

"It was during the period from infancy to childhood. She often set fires everywhere. You paid a lot of money at that time, and even borrowed a lot from Sister Lin Ran." Lingling reminded Mo Fan.

“Oh, I remember now, but she was just being naughty. It doesn’t seem to have much to do with my inability to control the temperature of the flames now, right?” Mo Fan said.

"I think it should be the same. At that time, there should have been a very restless and uncontrollable force in her body, so she released it through arson. However, she was still very young at that time, so she didn't know that arson was wrong. But now she has a certain degree of self-control. However, because she has reached the growth stage, the energy of Ji Zan in her body is too strong, so her body is a little difficult to fully bear and control, and then she becomes unable to control her body temperature." Lingling said.

"That is to say, Little Princess Yan is going to advance now?" Mo Fan's face showed ecstasy.

Lin Ran looked at Xiao Yan Ji and said, "Yeah."

"Yeah." Lingling said.

“Hahaha, little Yan Ji, I didn’t expect that you have reached the growth stage!” Mo Fan was overjoyed.

Little Princess Yan had stayed in her childhood for quite a long time. What was surprising was that her strength had already reached the commander level when she was still a child. Then, after experiencing the Fierce Flame, her strength was improved again.

In fact, the improvement in Xiao Yan Ji’s strength after her rebirth was not very obvious, and Mo Fan always felt a little strange in his heart.

I didn't expect that she was about to enter the growth stage!

The growth period is not just about transformation of strength, but also about huge changes in body shape.

“Based on the changes that happened to her before, I thought she had already reached her growth stage.” Mo Fan said with some emotion.

"There are usually obvious signs of entering the growth stage, and it is impossible for it to be in the same flame form as a little girl now." Lingling said.

"Then is there anything I can do?" Mo Fan asked.

"Do you have money now?" Lingling asked.

"Yes, I just received some money." Mo Fan replied.

"How many?" Lingling asked. "I have three commander-level spirits, and they are all top-grade. Each one can be sold for around 5 million!" Mo Fan said.

"Oh, this is enough for you to buy one or two soul fires. Then go to Shanghai Tower and buy one or two soul fires that suit little Princess Yan's appetite." Lingling said.

"..." Mo Fan almost screamed in surprise.

What do you mean by buying one or two soul fires that suit Little Princess Yan's taste? ! !
Soul-level flames are very expensive. Mo Fan has not yet obtained a good soul fire to replace his rose flame. Now that he has finally got some money, he plans to make up for this problem. Now that he heard Lingling say this, he feels terrible! !
“Don’t tell me that she will have to consume soul-level flames after entering the growth period?” Mo Fan said with horror on his face.

"That's not the case. Normally, it's enough to feed her spirit-level flames. Fragments are useless. But now is the critical period from childhood to growth. Only soul fire can allow little Yan Ji to enter the growth period more smoothly. And, you can see that little Yan Ji is in great pain now. This is because her body has accumulated too much power, and her childhood body cannot bear it. If we can help little Yan Ji get through it, then her life will be in danger. I know that many special creatures self-destruct when they are "overcoming the tribulation." Lingling said.

When Mo Fan heard that it concerned Little Yan Ji's life, he could no longer neglect it.

However, Mo Fan still felt distressed. He finally had enough money, but in the blink of an eye, he had to burn it all as paper money...

His natural dual system was already burning money like crazy, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yanji was not inferior to him at all! !

“Don’t worry, this money you spend will definitely be worth it!” Lingling knew that Mo Fan was feeling very sad, so she comforted him.

"I understand. I have seen the bidding list before. There will be an international auction in a week. It will be held near the Shanghai Building. Many soul seeds are for sale. Now we have to help little Yan Ji enter the growth period, so we must prepare enough money to compete with some rich guys." Mo Fan said.

Lin Ran said, "Remove the word 'men'."

Mo Fan said with a playful smile: "You are Xiao Yanji's second father, baby, go and act like a spoiled child."

Little Yan Ji immediately ran into Lin Ran's arms.

She cried "嘤嘤嘤".

Lin Ran looked at Little Yan Ji and said helplessly: "Hey, bitch Mo Fan."

"Mo Fan, prepare three soul fires first. Those that don't require a domain are also fine." Lingling said.

Little Princess Yan already possesses two domains, so the soul fire with domains has no effect on her. What she needs now is the purest and most powerful source of fire in the soul fire!

"Well, are there any good jobs available recently? We still have a week left, so let's go and make some more money." Mo Fan asked Lingling. He knew Lingling also wanted to go and play.

"Let me see." Lingling quickly turned on the computer. After a while, she printed out a commission and handed it to Mo Fan. "When I was checking the totem in Yantai just now, I happened to find that a large foreign magic tool production group was collecting a very special thing. They are now offering a price of 10 per unit. If it is a higher-level one, the price will be calculated separately... and they will take whatever they can get. Recently, many veteran hunter teams have heard the news and went to Yantai. I think we can take this job and collect some information about totem beasts."

“That’s great, it’s like killing two birds with one stone! Then call Zhao Manyan and we’ll set off for Yantai together tomorrow.” Mo Fan nodded.

"Isn't this guy dead?" Lingling said.

“Well, but now his enemy is his brother, so it is inconvenient for him to show up in his original identity.” Mo Fan said.

"Well, then I will sort out the information about the prey in Yantai tonight, and Lin Ran will stay to help me." Lingling said.

Lin Ran sighed and placed the whimpering little Yan Ji in Mo Fan's hands.

……

"Little Yan Ji, if you're not feeling well now, just go to sleep in the contract space. Don't worry, when your dads make enough money, they will buy you a few soul fires so that you can reach the growth stage in no time!" Mo Fan said softly while holding the now hot little Yan Ji.

“Wuuuuu~~~” Little Yan Ji was particularly obedient now. She stayed in Mo Fan’s arms for a while, then kissed Lin Ran on the face and returned to the contract space.

"Collect demon crowns, and collect as many as you can, with no upper limit... Hehe, this group seems to be very wealthy. With Lingling here, we can definitely get a lot of demon crowns. Let's try to bankrupt this consortium!!"

The flight route went north along the east coast line and arrived at Yantai Penglai International Airport in about an hour.

After getting off the plane, they headed to YT City. On the bus, Lingling told Lin Ran and the others the details about the unlimited bounty.

"The demon crown is not a feather on the head of a demon. It is a special crown leaf at the top of a special plant canopy that is a collection of the essence of nature. This thing grows on the top of a tree called the great purple linden tree. The leaves of the great purple linden tree can gather the power of the sun, and then transform them into fruits full of energy to bestow upon the scattered demons nearby, making the demons stronger. Therefore, a great purple linden tree is actually a small ecological world. There is often a demon crown, the guardian beast of the great purple linden tree. In fact, it is the key to the great purple linden tree gathering the power of light elements. I have checked before. This company wants to use the demon crown leaves to collect light energy on a large scale. They mainly produce some light magic tools." Lingling told Mo Fan the reason for the matter.

"I know this company. They seem to have set up in Yantai five years ago. To be honest, it was because they developed the alchemy technology of the Demon Crown that their company became prosperous. Now, most of the mid- and low-level light magic tools in Asia and Europe are produced by this company, and it is also very famous. It seems that the Tokyo Mage Shrine in the island country is supporting them. I heard that this company has greatly boosted the economy of the nearby coastline. They will obtain raw materials here, and then send them directly to Dalian after smelting. Then they will produce magic tools in Dalian and sell them in the island country. These equipment are actually authentically made in China, but after they are shipped back to Japan, the price will increase a lot." Zhao Manyan said.

As long as it was about money, Zhao Manyan would know something about it to some extent, and would often dig out the tricks involved.

"A long time ago, the Demon Crown was not valuable. At that time, it was sold for about 10 yuan at most in Yantai, and not many people wanted to buy it. But I didn't expect that the Demon Crown would be sold out in Yantai in less than five years, and the price was also raised to 20 yuan each. However, even so, the Tokyo Mage Shrine is still making a lot of money. If all the costs are taken into account, they produce a Demon Crown magic tool for about 50 yuan, but they sell it for yuan!" Zhao Manyan said.

“Ah, the money that the poor beginner mages worked so hard to earn was taken away by these damn profiteers.” Mo Fan sighed.

Defensive magic tools have always been the most lacking thing for mid- and low-level wizards. Hunters often deal with monsters, and sometimes defensive magic tools can save a life, so they are very useful, but also very expensive.

"10 is still a relatively reasonable price for a demon crown. In the past, when it was each, these islanders really made a fortune," Zhao Manyan said.

“But speaking of which, we seem to have arrived a little late. Along the way, I’ve heard more than one mage discussing the Demon Crown.” Lingling said.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Everyone is here for the Demon Crown, so the competition is fierce."
