Chapter 259 Celia Takes a Herbal Bath
Outside Star Ash Town, in a desolate area rarely visited by people.

Earth elements gathered frantically, gradually forming the outline of a large net. But soon, the net collapsed and dissipated, turning back into earth elements, revealing Celia behind them.

Celia wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued trying.

Through repeated attempts, she gradually gained some understanding of the spell.

"Although my affinity for ice magic doesn't provide any boost to earth magic, and even weakens its power to some extent, the good thing is that it's not a space magic, so I can still learn it quickly..."

Without using a staff or a puppet, Celia simply reached out her hand and uttered a soft chant. Driven by magic, dense earth element appeared on the ground in front of her, which then slowly solidified in the air, forming a metal net.

The resulting metal mesh is very rough, and in many places it is not metallized and still looks like rock, without any metal being extracted from the rock.

However, the network as a whole has been formed, even though each grid is crooked and not very aesthetically pleasing.

The magic circuit was successfully closed, and Celia smiled.

Ross nodded, "You could say you've gotten the basics down. Others have a net of mithril, but yours is a net of dirt that's been gnawed by rats."

Celia stuck her tongue out at Ross, then turned back to practice.

On the ground, many low-level magic crystal arrays were faintly visible, providing Celia with a slight mental concentration effect, allowing her to better perceive the status of spells.

Ross said, "Don't practice any other spells today. Just get a basic grasp of the Mithril Web. Use your mage's hand to feel every metallized and unmetallized area, feel the differences between them, and then make modifications to make it more suitable for your spell usage habits."

Celia nodded: "Okay."

After a long time, when the magic circle lost its effect after a flash, the mithril net that Celia had finally raised also began to resemble a metal net.

At this moment, the intense use of magic and mental power caused Celia's face to turn somewhat pale.

Seeing this, Ross said, "Today's practice is unsatisfactory. Afterwards, you need to find a way to use a spell in the shortest possible time to consume only about one-tenth of your magic power, thereby slightly increasing the refinement of your magic power and reaching 100% refinement purity as soon as possible."

Celia pursed her lips and nodded: "I understand."

Ross said, "I've already controlled the puppet to prepare a 'medicinal bath' for you. You're tired anyway, so take a bath and go back."

Celia's heart tightened.

Has what was destined to happen finally arrived?
She suddenly wanted to continue practicing the Mystic Web, but under Ross's gaze, she ultimately didn't say it.

Finally, they had no choice but to reluctantly return to their temporary room.

Inside the room, the puppet stood quietly to one side, and in the middle of the room was a large bathtub, more than enough to accommodate Celia.

Celia saw the hot water in the bathtub and the red flowers floating on the surface, and her cheeks were gradually stained by the flowers.

She raised her hand, put the puppet away, and then looked at Ross hesitantly.

Ross shook his head speechlessly, turned around and went out the door.

"After entering the bathtub, soak for five minutes to allow your body to fully absorb the magic in the water and activate the magic within your body. Then enter a meditative state and meditate for at least thirty minutes, until all the medicine in the water has been absorbed."

Seeing Ross disappear through the door, Celia breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully deceived herself.

Replaying Ross's words in his mind, he stood before the bathtub, lost in thought for a while. "Those inedible materials can be absorbed through meditation using magic runes, so why does Lord Ross use this strange 'medicinal bath'?"

The girl muttered to herself, utterly puzzled.

She tested the water temperature, then slowly removed her covering, revealing a beauty that surpassed even the most magnificent flowers.

The weather was nice today; the sun had finally appeared after a long time. Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the house, shining on Celia and making her glow.

She couldn't help but think of the "Big Thunder" Ross had mentioned, and subconsciously puffed out her chest. Suddenly, as if remembering something, her cheeks flushed red.

"The 'Great Thunder' Lord Ross mentioned, could it be...?"

The girl looked down at her toes, pouted, then looked up and stepped into the bathtub, beginning a comfortable soak.

It's still winter, and even with the sun, it's quite cold. However, because Celia is ice-type and has a good affinity with the cold, she still enjoys it by squinting her eyes as she enters the bathtub.

The magic from the various magical materials in the water began to flow into her body through skin contact, replenishing her magic while stimulating it and making it more active.

The process was so comfortable that Celia was about to fall asleep, until Ross's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"It's time. Wake up and meditate."

Celia suddenly opened her eyes, startled. She looked up and saw Ross's voice again:
“I’m still outside, but I can sense that your mental energy is gradually calming down, which is a sign that you are falling asleep.”

Celia's face flushed again. She felt that how could the small wooden door of the room possibly block the god's view?
However, people often deceive themselves. In the water, she felt a little more at ease, especially since there were many red petals on the surface of the water covering her. She felt that if she wasn't exposed, then it didn't count as being exposed.

With that thought in mind, Celia quickly sat up and began to meditate.

Thirty minutes later, at Ross's prompting, she opened her eyes.

By now, the water in the bathtub had cooled down, and feeling the little magic left in the water, Celia quickly got out, dressed, and called out, "Lord Ross, I'm ready!"

Ross's figure passed through the wooden door and returned. He looked at Celia's magic power and nodded: "Not bad. Although the refinement level increases relatively slowly, it will reach 100% refinement by the time school starts."

Celia knew the concept of magic refinement and purification, but she was vague about the concept of 100%, so she asked curiously, "After reaching 100% refinement, can I learn the next level of spells?"

Ross chuckled: "It's not that simple. 100% refinement only gives you the qualification to learn. To truly master it, your magic refinement needs to exceed 100%."

Celia: "?"

Is it possible for this to exceed 100%?

The purity is already 100%, how can it exceed that?

Ross said, "100% just means that you have completely mastered magic and can reduce most of the unnecessary consumption when casting spells, but it does not mean that you can learn high-level spells. Moreover, refinement is not purity. As long as it is not mixed with demonic energy, the purity of magic is always 100%, it is just divided into various elements."

"100% refined only means that your magic power is all ice magic power, which has a great boost to ice spells. However, for non-ice spells, not only is there no boost, but the spell power is actually weakened."

"Therefore, for you, the part with a refinement level of over 100% is used on non-ice spells. This is why the refinement level can exceed 100%, and it is also one of the essential conditions for trying to learn high-level spells."
