Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

Lying comfortably on his bed, Zhou Sining couldn't wait to open the system.

Zhou Sining

[HP: 3.6 (Self) / 8032 (Demon)]

[Intermediate Level 1 Fire Element] [Innate Fire Element Devouring Seed]

Slaying demons and monsters

[Level: 4 (1377/1500)]

[Current number of draws: 9 (requires 200 health points)]

In the shop, the [Soul Condensation Chain], which only had one exchange opportunity, has disappeared, while the [Netherworld Shield] now has a new entry: "Available for exchange in 15 days."

"I've been grinding for half a month and still haven't reached level 5. This system is really hard to level up." Zhou Sining was somewhat dissatisfied.

Fortunately, the items produced by the system are indeed of high quality, and the prices are not expensive. Apart from not being able to be resold or traded, there are no other drawbacks.

He muttered a couple of light complaints, then continued browsing the store, his gaze becoming hesitant.

The number eight thousand is neither a lot nor a little.

If he saves up a little more, he can exchange it for a year of life.

But there were indeed several items in the store that he wanted.

[Star Mark, can guide the drawing of star charts. Requires 25 health points.]

[Use the designated Star Chart Book and input mana to cast intermediate-level spells. Requires 125 HP.]

[Fire-type Spirit Seed, one random Fire-type Spirit Seed. Requires 588 HP] (Only 3 exchange opportunities available)

[Nebula Magic Artifact, provides a 20% increase in cultivation speed. Requires 555 HP]

The Star Mark is a must-buy; it's a kind of auxiliary magical tool.

Newly advanced mages desperately need the Star Mark to guide and regulate them; otherwise, if they form a random star pattern, it will be impossible to cast magic.

A copy of Starry Night costs 50,000 yuan, and he needs to use the 300,000 yuan he has for living expenses and emergencies, so he can't afford to spend more than necessary.

You should also stock up on three or five copies of the Book of Star Charts.

Drawing star charts is not something that can be learned overnight, but he should try to climb the outer city walls as much as possible to gain life points, which inevitably involves some danger.

Using the Book of Star Charts allows one to cast intermediate-level spells in just two seconds, faster than most mages, and if used correctly, it can be a lifesaver.

Fire-type spirit seeds are also indispensable. Gang Sha is already very powerful, but if you want to be even more powerful, you have to absorb other fire-type spirit seeds to upgrade.

Needless to say, Nebula Magic Artifacts are loved by every mage.

After thinking it over, Zhou Sining decided to spend money to buy peace of mind.

Anyway, I won't die anytime soon.

Star Mark 25, two Fire Star Chart Books 250, one Fire Seed 588, one Nebula Magic Artifact 555.

The total was 1418. After exchanging a bunch of items, I had 6614 left.

He exited the interface, and the redeemed items appeared in front of him, piled on the bed.

A bright red flame appeared before them, its light dazzling and flickering.

It is completely different from the active and lively Gang Sha, and it looks healthier and happier than the artificial spirit seed Ju Yan.

Zhou Sining was a seasoned gamer and could tell at a glance that this was a good item.

Sure enough, Zhuoyan's information confirmed his intuition.

[Fire-type Spirit Seed - Scorching Flame]

[Effect: Provides a 2x fire damage bonus. The flames have some elemental penetration, partially ignoring elemental magic defense.]

"Being reborn into another world can change your luck?" Zhou Sining chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Yeah, I was reborn because of some incredible luck, how could I not change my luck?"

Not to mention that the efficiency of the Gang Sha in absorbing spiritual seeds is not high.

Otherwise, with just one Orange Flame last time, he should have easily broken through to the intermediate level.

Whether one can obtain the other's effect while absorbing a spirit seed is a matter of probability and cannot be forced.

Well, something is better than nothing. A single spirit seed can save him several months of arduous cultivation.

Introducing the scorching flames into the spiritual world, the fiery seed of evil still sits firmly at the center amidst the tranquil white clouds.

Sensing the arrival of the scorching flames, it used the same trick again, a fiery spike piercing through the flames without warning, trapping it and swallowing it whole.

Honestly, Zhou Sining was starting to have doubts. How could someone as gentle as him have drawn such a violent spark?

"Whoosh~!"

Perhaps it had something on its mind, because the nebula, which had been quiet, began to spin faster the next second, and the white spark at the center burst into a tall flame to show its dissatisfaction.

Zhou Sining readily admitted defeat: "Yes, yes, you're the best, you're the best, it's my fault, it's my fault."

The fierce energy finally quieted down.

Exiting the mental world, Zhou Sining sat cross-legged and began cultivating and refining the scorching flame.

……

……

As the year draws to a close, the ancient capital, which has long been oppressed by lifelessness, is now bursting with vibrant red.

As if trying to wash away the bad luck of the past year, the ancient capital has been quite lively these days.

On the streets at night, crowds thronged, strolling in small groups. The air was filled with the aroma of various food stalls, and familiar songs played from the shops along the street.

Most of the people walking towards me had smiles on their faces, their eyes sparkling with an expectation that they themselves were unaware of.

The world presented a peaceful and beautiful scene, but Zhou Sining could only watch from afar, never experiencing it firsthand.

After ten years of this kind of life, he got used to it.

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Sining took a rare day off and did not immerse himself in cultivation.

He was all alone, and the not-so-large living room felt a bit deserted. To dispel this loneliness, he turned on the TV as usual and switched to the most popular variety show.

Then I picked up my phone, ready to start a game and have a thrilling battle to protect my parents with my teammates.

Before the game even started, Zhou Min called first.

"Are you home?" Zhou Min asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"If you feel lonely, come to the street that Mu Bai runs. Mu Bai said he's treating everyone to a New Year's Eve dinner, and a lot of people from Bocheng are here. Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu even took time off to come. Everyone's been apart for so long, it's good to get together, especially since Mu Bai is treating. It's free, so why not take advantage of it, right?"

It was a bit noisy on Zhou Min's end, but Zhou Sining still managed to hear what Zhou Min said clearly.

He then remembered that Zhou Min had mentioned Mu Bai's plans to host a New Year's banquet more than twenty days ago, right after he finished his exams.

He hadn't taken those words to heart in the first place, and then he spent half a month on duty at the outer city wall, so he couldn't remember them at all.

Zhou Sining smiled and replied, "If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"We're just classmates, no need to be so polite. Come on over, I've sent you the address."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sining smiled and walked out of the house. She hailed a car and arrived at the street where Mu Bai drove in half an hour.

The street is mostly lined with shops selling magical items, but there are also a few restaurants, one of which, a hot pot restaurant, is where the gathering is taking place.

Even before entering the restaurant, Zhou Sining could feel the overwhelmingly lively atmosphere.

The place was packed with people, and enjoying a hot pot meal in this cold weather warmed both their bodies and their hearts.

He strode into the hot pot restaurant and, without even breaking a sweat, went to the private room on the third floor. As expected, all the people there were familiar faces.

Mu Bai, Zhao Kunsan, Zhou Min, He Yu, Zhang Xiaohou, Xu Zhaoting, and Wang Sanpang were all members of the vanguard team at the time and had a life-or-death bond with each other.

"We've been waiting for you. Please sit down. Order whatever you want to eat; it's on me today," Mu Bai said, gesturing.

These words immediately enlivened the atmosphere.

"Oh~~"

"The entire bill will be paid by Young Master Mu!"

Someone yelled out, and the whole place burst into laughter.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Young Master Mu."

"Young Master Mu is truly magnanimous! He will not forget you even if you become rich and powerful!"

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone started reminiscing about the past, and the topic of conversation gradually changed.

"It's a pity that Teacher Xue can't come, and Brother Fan is also unavailable," Zhang Xiaohou said with some regret.

"Mo Fan's family has all gone to Shanghai, probably to celebrate the New Year. There's nothing to regret. If you really want to see them, just video call them."

"that is."

"Why don't we put his photo up? It'll count as him being there," Zhou Sining joked.

"That's right, Zhang Xiaohou, find Mo Fan's photo and put it in front of that bowl."

"Yes, yes, that's it, stand it up."

"It would be more artistic if it were in black and white," Zhou Sining said with a smile.

His proposal was quickly approved by all.

"Come on, give him another bowl of rice." With the alcohol taking effect, Mu Bai let loose.

"Stick three chopsticks into the rice."
