52 -52: You Call This Thing a Small Fireball?_1
[You have obtained the ‘Ancient Parchment Scroll recording the Spirit Summoning Ceremony’.]
[Congratulations, you have triggered the hidden task ‘Calamity Witch’s Trial’.]
[Task content: Within ten days, prepare a Spirit Summoning Potion according to the steps on the scroll, and summon the remnants of the Calamity Witch’s soul to the real world.
Task reward: Magic Potions Study Inheritance.]
“Hmm?”
Looking at the series of new prompts that popped up, Mu You was taken aback before he burst with joy! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
So the sigh that was heard just now was really from the witch?
Her voice could penetrate the game and directly affect him in reality, what a terrifying power…
Mu You once again realized how powerful this witch was.
However, these were no longer important.
All that was on his mind now was: Where there is a will, there is a way!
Through his tireless persistence, he had finally moved this stubborn witch who was as unyielding as a rock!
…Of course, it could also be that the witch was so annoyed with his constant resetting that she casually tossed him a task to get rid of him…
Without enough time to carefully examine the parchment, the five seconds were about to pass again, and Mu You hurriedly pressed the pocket watch again.
Although he had already obtained the Black Magic inheritance and triggered the task for Magic Potions Study with some fancy operations, there’s still Divination…
Since both Black Magic and Magic Potions Study were taught, why not Divination too…
“Damn!”
However, Mu You soon lost his temper because the witch didn’t give him the chance.
After the reset, the three options disappeared, and instead, two new lines of text popped up.
[You have already obtained the witch’s inheritance.
The witch’s remnants ignored you and dove back into the crow’s eyes.]
[With a flap of the crow’s wings, the scenery around you started to change rapidly.]
[When everything stopped, you found yourself standing outside the Black Forest again.
And when you looked back, the Black Forest behind you disappeared as quickly as a dream, leaving no traces of its existence.]
“She kicked me out like that?”
Mu You pursed his lips, but there was nothing he could do about it, this was her territory after all.
Fortunately, this trip to the Black Forest had yielded him a bountiful reward.
Recovering his senses, Mu You hurriedly selected the ‘Parchment Scroll’ from his inventory.
An ancient, yellowed parchment appeared in his hand.
Mu You took a glance, the parchment was filled with a dense array of Star Spirit text and a circular formation diagram at the bottom.
He rushed to get the Star Spirit dictionary and translated all the text.
[Spirit Summoning Potion: 105g Silver Powder, 36g Iron Powder, 140ml Pure Water, 5 pieces of Inspirational Grass leaves, 10 drops of extracted Mandrake Juice, 15g Regeneration Grass Powder, 1-9 drops of Red Dragon Blood (the more the better, as long not exceeding 9 drops), a complete Lighthouse Jellyfish, 7g of Troll Tuber Powder, 50g of Pure Crystal Powder, 100ml of one’s own blood…]
[The order of preparation is…
the fire is…]
[After the potion is prepared, on a night of the full moon, at a flat place where the moonlight can be directly seen, arrange the Spirit Summoning Formation as shown in the figure below, and prepare a live sacrificial offering at the center of the formation.
Then, drop by drop, pour the Spirit Summoning Potion into the border of the formation and recite the following spell using a moderate speed…]
“Is it this complicated?”
Mu You was dumbstruck looking at the long list of ingredients following the potion formula.
Inspirational Grass?
Mandrake Juice?
Regeneration Grass?
Red Dragon Blood?
Lighthouse Jellyfish?
What the hell are these things?
Mu You had never seen any of them before.
Besides, according to the requirements, the ceremony has to be carried out on a night of a full moon.
A night of a full moon…
Mu You hurriedly checked, fortunately, the next full moon didn’t exceed the ten day range.
July 11, which was eight days later, was exactly a lunar fifteenth day, and it was the only full moon within ten days…
Which meant he had to gather all the materials within eight days, and prepare an Excellent Grade or higher potion.
And the Excellent Grade, according to Cola’s rarity system, was ranked third!
Asking a complete novice who hasn’t even gotten through the door to make an Excellent Grade magic potion from scratch and find his own materials—wasn’t that just making things difficult for him?
Mu You increasingly felt that the witch was merely trying to dismiss him at that time and casually mentioned a task that was impossible to complete.
However, even so, he had no plans to give up.
He had to put up a fight.
“I still have ten days.
Let’s try to gather materials as much as possible…”
Mu You took a breath, raised his head to check the time, and it was already two in the morning.
He had been playing the game all night long, and he had not yet completed his daily tasks.
“With the Black Forest gone, I’ll head back to the village in the game for now and ask the old cat shopkeeper if these materials are available for sale…” Mu You thought, as he rode a donkey in the game to start the return journey.
[You mount the donkey and choose to head due south to Anning Village.]
[Traveling, approximately 16 hours until the destination]
Fortunately, because he had cleaned up the monsters all the way when he came, there were no obstacles on the road for now, and the donkey could return smoothly, so he didn’t have to keep an eye on it all the way.
After putting the game in the background for automatic play, Mu You put away his phone, went downstairs, put on the Invisibility Cloak, and climbed out of the rear window once again.
He groped his way back to the park where he had been earlier and, as usual, sat down on a long bench.
But this time, for the next hour, he wouldn’t be idle—the Crystal and two new secret techniques that he had just acquired were waiting for him to explore.
Mu You crossed his legs, placed his hands flat on his knees, closed his eyes, and submerged his mind in the Crystal of secret techniques.
According to the memory left by the Calamity Witch, to unleash Black Magic, two conditions must be met.
First, there must be an imprinted Black Magic.
He has already fulfilled this point.
On the two sides of the Crystal, the Small Fireball and Rejuvenation have been separately imprinted.
The second condition is that you need to first absorb enough natural magical power.
This would be achieved through meditation.
The posture he was maintaining now was that of meditation, keeping his thoughts empty, and the Crystal of secret techniques would automatically absorb the natural magical power around him until the Crystal overflowed.
Mu You initially thought that the absorption process would be fast because he remembered that every time Vivian meditated, it only took five to ten minutes to be fully charged.
However, this meditation lasted for two full hours, and the Crystal was just filled with less than a third…
Mu You found this a bit strange, but then he changed his mind and understood.
The magic power available on Earth now was just a little weak magical power that had seeped through the ‘wall’ from the Star Spirit World.
How could this be compared to the concentration of magical power in the Star Spirit World?
With this in mind, Mu You wryly smiled, immediately gave up this inefficient action, and got up, ready to experiment with the so-called secret techniques.
Holding the Phantom Wand, Mu You aimed at a small tree not far away and uttered the chant of the Small Fireball Technique.
At that instant, the wind sprang up with no wind around, the power of the wind, the element of fire, and the stored natural energy in the Crystal were all sucked out instantly and all crazily rushed towards the tip of the wand.
The next moment, an enormous fireball that emitted brilliance as intense as the sun burst out in front of him and shot forward.
The fireball, emitting a radiance that turned the night in the park into daylight, easily vaporized the small tree in front and continued to dash towards a construction building in the distance….
“Boom!”
In the trembling explosion, the entire building was covered in flames instantly.
Amid the rising flames and various falling debris of the explosion, Mu You stood in a stunned silence.
He guessed that with the power of the Black Magic, the Small Fireball’s might might be a little bit stronger, but he didn’t expect it to be so terrifying!
Without thinking too much, he quickly pressed on the pocket watch.
Fortunately, the time had not exceeded five seconds yet; after the flow of time resumed, he maintained the position of the Swing Wand and had already uttered half of the spell.
Mu You quickly swallowed the rest of it and was still feeling a bit tense, “Who the hell named it?
Calling this thing a Small Fireball?
It’s clearly a Flame Burst!”
