Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Lin Lan spent a high-level fee to acquire the Star Sea Celestial Vein auctioned by the Zhao family, resulting in a ten-figure loss in her bank account, which pained her deeply.

This time, I owe Zhao Manyan a favor; the Star Sea Vein is quite difficult to deal with...

The Nationalist government team's destination this time was in southern Peru, where they were already waiting for the three in Hammi City.

Lingling was tasked with developing a vaccine for the Drowning Curse, which brought Qingtian Hunting Grounds and Lin Lan great attention and fame as a result!
Of course, the money was split equally.

……

Hammi City is located in southern Peru. Instead of a tropical rainforest, it's a tropical desert and wasteland, interspersed with orange rock formations stretching to the horizon where they meet the blue sky.

As soon as I got off the plane, I could feel the scorching heat.
Lin Lan and Mu Ningxue are both ice mages, while Mo Fan, being a fire mage, is basically unaffected by the high temperatures and went directly to meet up with the National Team members.

Ai Jiangtu and his group were found in a stone inn in Hammi City. The guys were drinking local, cold, and delicious beer in the tavern on the first floor of the inn, and they all looked very comfortable.

The weather was scorching hot, and Jiang Shaoxu's attire was unsurprisingly quite revealing. A third of her round, white breasts were exposed, exuding the wildness and boldness of the local South Americans. Her short, tight shorts were particularly alluring.

"The National Team has so many pretty girls, that's awesome!" Mo Fan muttered to himself.

Lin Lan nodded.

"Hi! Welcome back, all three of you!" Jiang Shaoxu was the first to spot the three of them, a charming smile spreading across her face.

"I told you I'd be back. Now that I'm a full member, I can finally get the resources I'm allocated," Mo Fan said with a smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

In the slightly noisy, exotic tavern, Mu Nujiao quietly stood up.

She seemed to deliberately avoid the intense sunlight, her figure half-hidden in soft shadows, yet she resembled a piece of warm jade, radiating a tranquil glow.

Unlike Jiang Shaoxu's overwhelming passion and wildness, Mu Nujiao's beauty carries a sense of elegance and restraint.

She wore a light-colored short skirt made of a light, airy fabric with a good fit; the style was simple and elegant. It suited the heat of Hamilton City without appearing frivolous.

She raised her hand and gently brushed a few stray strands of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers, revealing her exquisitely beautiful profile.

"Long time no see, your cultivation has improved quite a bit," Lin Lan said.

The other members of the National Team weren't surprised to see this. Zhao Manyan had previously mentioned that Lin Lan, Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao, and he himself were all from the same year and close friends.

Speaking of which, Mingzhu Academy has also shone brightly this year. Of the dozen or so people in the National Academy team, four are from Mingzhu!

Mo Fan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, and he secretly praised her, "Tsk, Mu Nujiao is simply a lotus emerging from the desert."

The beauties in the National Team each have their own unique charm.

Mu Ningxue is aloof and cold, Jiang Shaoxu is alluring and seductive, and Mu Nujiao is elegant and charming...

Tsk tsk tsk, if I had to say, the Nationalist government is still the best, the Nationalist government is the best!

……

As soon as the three joined the group, they heard a commotion among the others. It turned out that a Peruvian ruin with intermittent wind and electricity had been discovered seventy kilometers outside of Hammi City, and it was suspected to contain rare resources.

“I heard there might be soul seeds there,” Jiang Yu said excitedly, “but the Gobi Valley leading to the ruins is occupied by stone elementals; we almost got trapped last time.”

Jiang Shaoxu glanced disdainfully at the retreating Zu Jiming: "Some people just know how to back down."

Jiang Shaoxu harbored a grudge against this person; she could never forget his cowardly act of abandoning her in Donghai City.

Nan Jue proposed a new plan: "I've made an elemental device that can mask our footsteps. However, someone will need to risk their life to install it."

“Then let’s give it a try,” Mo Fan said firmly. “This is a rare opportunity.”

This Gobi Valley isn't a big problem.

Without Lu Yilin, and with the return of Lin Lan, Mo Fan, and Mu Ningxue, the process was almost without any obstacles.

The elemental demons are not inexhaustible, as their destructive power is too great.

Lin Lan also obtained an earth elemental crystal!
"The ancient city ruins should be four kilometers ahead." Nan Jue's element detector beeped rapidly, its pointer trembling violently in the wind and thunder elemental regions. "The elemental concentration here is more than three times the normal value."

"Look over there!" Zhao Manyan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw a jet-black hurricane, like a giant dragon, soaring straight up from where heaven and earth met, piercing through the clouds. The wind column, with a diameter of over a thousand meters, twisted its ferocious body in the wilderness, its surface coiled with giant purple-gold lightning pythons. Each bolt of lightning was as thick as an ancient tree, tearing blinding streaks of light in the darkness.

This devastating scene stands abruptly in the western wilderness of Peru. If one did not traverse the Gobi Valley, no one could imagine that such a terrifying spectacle could be hidden in this desolate land.

"This is way too exaggerated!" Zhao Manyan's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice trembling. "It feels like a world-destroying monster might crawl out of there at any moment."

Nan Jue quickly calculated the location: "The center of the lightning storm is directly over the Ruins City."

"This is too eerie; my legs are even a little weak." Jiang Yu unconsciously took a half step back.

"We're already here, wouldn't it be a huge loss to turn back now?" Mo Fan's eyes gleamed, his fingertips trembling slightly with excitement. "This undeveloped virgin land might just hold a treasure of the Soul Seed level!"

As night fell, the lightning storm appeared even more menacing in the darkness. The group chose to set up camp in a relatively safe open area, planning to make further plans at dawn.

At 2:30 a.m., it was Lin Lan, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan's turn to keep watch.

"By the way, Mo Fan, what is your current cultivation level?" Zhao Manyan asked.

Lin Lan didn't want to ask, because asking would affect his Dao heart.

Mo Fan's lips curled slightly: "The three high-level elements, including the lightning constellation, are almost complete."

"What?!" Zhao Manyan was struck dumb, "High-level three-elemental system!"

Seeing Mo Fan's confident expression, Zhao Manyan slumped down, silently taking out the ancient wooden fish with gradually blue patterns from his pocket, unconsciously stroking its surface with his fingertips.

"Zhao Manyan, this is for you." Lin Lan silently took out a crystal that attracted Zhao Manyan's attention.

The earth-yellow crystal shimmered with a liquid-like luster in the morning light, its interior seemingly sealing in the essence of the entire earth.

"This...this is an earth-elemental crystal?!" Zhao Manyan's voice trembled. "Where did you get this?"

"I just picked it up in the Gobi Valley. I owe you a lot for the Star Sea Celestial Vein before, so I'm giving this to you." Lin Lan casually tossed the precious crystal to Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan hurriedly caught it. "My goodness! This is the core material for refining soul seeds! Natural soul seeds are rare, and nowadays most are refined by fusing spirit seeds, and the Yuan Crystal is the key to success or failure! You're just giving it to me like this? No way, you're the one who paid for it. Here's what we'll do: give me the Yuan Crystal, and I'll help you get a top-tier magical artifact." Zhao Manyan patted his chest and promised.

"Okay." Lin Lan nodded.

"Wait, Zhao Manyan, why are you so excited about getting the Earth Element Crystal?" Mo Fan asked.

Zhao Manyan's face flushed red: "My third elemental awakening is Earth!"

Mo Fan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "A professional turtle shell mage! Water, light, and earth elements, are you going to take defense to the extreme?"

"Three types of defense, plus a wooden fish, and the defense is invincible," Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at!" Zhao Manyan retorted angrily. "Just wait until you get the chance to see what I'm capable of!"
