"Do it myself?"
Wang Lin looked at Electrolux, then at the Dark Azure Dragon in his hand.
"Yes, do it yourself. The impurity mixed in the Green Wind Condensed Gold is bone, possibly a soul bone of this world."
Electrolux lowered his head, raised his hand, and pointed at the Dark Azure Dragon. The Dark Azure Dragon immediately trembled.
Roar!
A tiger's roar rang out. Dark aura erupted from the Dark Azure Dragon, forming a small black tiger that roared at Wang Lin with its mouth open.
"It's likely a soul bone."
Looking at the small black tiger, he could be certain it was a soul bone. After all, the other carving knife he possessed was refined using a soul bone.
Whoosh!
He reached out and pointed at the little black tiger. As soon as he touched it, the little black tiger instantly collapsed, and the invisible dark aura surged back into the Dark Azure Dragon.
Wang Lin did not say more. His mind sank into his Spiritual Sea, focusing on the knowledge regarding the Bone Refining Fire.
Following the memory in his mind, Wang Lin extended his right hand, palm upward.
Substantiated spiritual power drilled out of his body and circled in his palm. The soul power flowing in his body was mobilized by Wang Lin at this moment.
Invisible soul power enveloped the substantiated spiritual power, and the two merged with each other.
Under Wang Lin's mobilization, they flowed in his palm like a river, forming a complex geometric pattern in his palm—a simplified image of a flame.
Shoo!
A faint azure-green light appeared out of thin air, gradually filling the entire pattern. Wang Lin held his breath and focused his mind.
Pffft!
A small azure-green spark jumped out of the pattern, and then the entire pattern instantly disintegrated. The soul power and spiritual power, which originally had a fixed circulation route, scattered instantly.
A portion of the scattered soul power directly rushed into Wang Lin's body. Fortunately, it was not much and was instantly suppressed by the soul power within Wang Lin's body.
The chaotic soul power was enveloped and slowly sorted out, gradually returning to Wang Lin's body, merging into the meridians, and flowing slowly with the other soul power.
"Phew, failed."
Gently exhaling a breath, Wang Lin was not discouraged. After all, failure is the mother of success. Moreover, this was only the first attempt.
"The circulation needs to be stable, don't rush, and this part..." Electrolux pointed out Wang Lin's problem.
"Yes, Elder Yi." Wang Lin nodded. While listening to Electrolux's instruction, he pondered his recent shortcomings.
"Once more."
"Good." Wang Lin calmed his mind. Spiritual power and soul power surged out again, and he continued to attempt the Bone Refining Fire.
...
Half an hour later, after seeing the mother of success two more times, Wang Lin finally met success itself.
Whoosh!
An azure-green flame, about half the size of a fist, jumped and burned in Wang Lin's palm. The azure-green firelight was reflected in his gray eyes.
Invisible spiritual power slowly wrapped around the Bone Refining Fire in his palm under Wang Lin's control. The originally continuously jumping, irregular flame began to slowly contract under the encirclement of the spiritual power.
A warmth was transmitted from the spiritual power as the Bone Refining Fire contracted. As the flame contracted, the temperature of that warmth gradually increased.
Soon, the flame shrunk to the size of a fingertip. A scorching hot sensation traveled from the spiritual power to Wang Lin's Spiritual Sea. Wang Lin frowned tightly, and beads of sweat constantly slid down his forehead.
At this moment, the Bone Refining Fire was still contracting.
Snap!
The continuously contracting Bone Refining Fire violently trembled, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into an azure light spot. As soon as the light spot formed, it immediately flew directly toward Wang Lin's Spiritual Sea along the spiritual power.
Shoo!
The light spot drilled directly into Wang Lin's brow. He couldn't help but groan softly.
"Ugh!"
He only felt as if someone had taken a red-hot branding iron and pressed it directly onto his brow.
Fortunately, that pain came and went quickly. The instant the light spot entered the Spiritual Sea, the burning sensation disappeared.
The azure-green light spot suddenly burst open, emitting countless fluorescent lights that merged with Wang Lin's Spiritual Sea and disappeared.
A pleasant sensation immediately came from his brow, clearing away all of Wang Lin's physical discomfort. Soon, an azure-green flame mark, simplified countless times, emerged, floating in the center of the Spiritual Sea.
Wang Lin opened his eyes. The flame mark in his mind lit up, and a faint azure-green fluorescent light appeared deep within his gray eyes.
He raised his hand.
Swoosh!
An azure-green flame ignited out of thin air. Wang Lin picked up the Dark Azure Dragon and placed it on the Bone Refining Fire to roast.
Whoosh!
After scorching it for a while, there seemed to be no effect. A blowing sound rang out beside him. Electrolux blew out the Bone Refining Fire in Wang Lin's palm and said with a smile.
"Little Linzi, your newly condensed Bone Refining Fire cannot burn the soul bone in this carving knife. You have to wait until at least Rank 3."
Wang Lin looked at the Dark Azure Dragon, which had no marks on it, and said shamelessly.
"I have to wait until Rank 3? Can I please ask you, old man, to purify it for me? I need to use the carving knife urgently now."
"No. Do your own thing. I am your teacher, not your nanny."
Electrolux waved his hand at Wang Lin, indicating refusal.
"Fine!"
Wang Lin did not insist upon hearing this. The reason he urgently needed the carving knife was that the one he was currently using was still the one Meng Hongchen had lent him three days ago.
He had been shamelessly holding onto it without returning it. Originally, Wang Lin planned to return the carving knife to Meng Hongchen after purifying the Dark Azure Dragon.
But now it seemed Wang Lin's thick skin would have to endure for a while longer.
"Cultivate properly. I'm going out for a stroll." Electrolux paid no heed to Wang Lin and leisurely floated out of the window.
"Come back early, Elder Yi."
Seeing Elder Yi float away, Wang Lin said a sentence, watched Electrolux drift into the distance, and then came back to his senses. He put away the Dark Azure Dragon, the soul tool metal carved with the Level 1 Magnetic Soul Guide Array, and other miscellaneous items on the desk.
He sat on the only bed in the dormitory. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had single dormitories, which was very convenient for Wang Lin.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Wang Lin mentally called out "Attribute Panel." A simple blue square box appeared in his field of vision.
Name: Wang Lin
Martial Soul: Brain (Mutated)
Cultivation: Level 29 [56%]
Spiritual Power: Level 34 [20%]
Techniques: Secret of the Body Sect—Brain Rank 1 [37%], Eight-Part Vajra Skill (Proficient) [35%], Bone Refining Fire Rank 1 [1%]
Soul Rings: Yellow (642 years), Purple (1000 years)
Artifact: Magic Staff Rank 1 [32%]
Scanning the data of Attribute Panel, Wang Lin's attention fell on the newly appeared Bone Refining Fire.
As Wang Lin expected, upon successful cultivation, the Bone Refining Fire indeed appeared in the Techniques column of Attribute Panel.
However, unlike the Secret of the Body Sect and the Eight-Part Vajra Skill, the cultivation of Bone Refining Fire was completely different; it required continuously burning bones.
It wasn't difficult, as bones were easy to find. But it wasn't simple either. Given his current environment, he could only find bones from food. The cultivation of Bone Refining Fire could only rely on the canteen.
Withdrawing his mind from Attribute Panel, Wang Lin calmed down and began his routine meditation cultivation.
