[Wind Blade]

[Type: Active Skill]

[Tier: Initial Tier]

[Element: Wind]

[Cost: 30 Mana]

[Chant Time: 1 second]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Effect: Summons a Wind Blade to attack a distant enemy.]

This skill was utterly ordinary.

It was the foundation of all Wind Element Skills for mages.

Just like Fireball.

The only advantage Wind Blade had over Fireball was that it was invisible and flew extremely fast.

Targets found it difficult to evade.

And its Chant Time was extremely short, requiring only one second.

However, correspondingly, Wind Blade's damage was only about half that of a Fireball.

The characteristics of each school of mage skills were quite distinct.

The wind element clearly followed a swift, agile, and decisive style.

The fire element, on the other hand, pursued extreme destructive output.

Of course, in Lin Yi's hands, after just a few days, this Wind Blade skill would surely become an ultimate destructive force once it reached a higher tier...

A Tier 7 Spell like Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath could already cause destruction on this scale.

Then how terrifying would Tier 8 spells and even Tier 9 Forbidden Spells be? Just thinking about it filled Lin Yi with motivation!

He was now even more motivated to upgrade his Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath to a Tier 9 Forbidden Spell as quickly as possible!

Lin Yi looked around and found that there were no longer any traces of monster activity nearby.

Night had fallen, and after burning all the trees to ash, the dragon's breath flames had gradually died out.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Without the shelter of the trees, the night wind was chilly, making Lin Yi feel a little cold.

Lin Yi inadvertently discovered something else that left him utterly stunned.

Without realizing it, he had already reached Level 30!

In just one day, his level had soared all the way to the limit of First Turn!

At Level 30, he could even go to Jiangcheng's Job Change Sanctuary and accept his Second Turn class quest!

That blast of Heavenly Flame Dragon's Breath had probably killed far more than he had estimated!

Lin Yi checked through his experience records.

After reaching Level 30, all the Experience Points he gained had turned into zero. They were all excess experience!

Without completing the job change quest and unlocking Second Turn, he could not continue leveling up.

There was no reason for him to remain here any longer.

The monsters in Howling Forest could no longer provide Lin Yi with much experience.

Lin Yi took a scroll glowing faintly purple from his Inventory Space.

It was the Return Scroll Jiang Ya had given him earlier.

The coordinates marked on the scroll pointed to Jiangcheng's Teleportation Hall.

It was getting late. His parents were probably waiting for him at home for dinner.

Not wanting them to worry, Lin Yi planned to head straight home.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to crush the scroll and teleport away,

a faint emerald-green glow, like fluorescence in the darkness beside him, suddenly caught his attention.

Lin Yi raised a hand.

The Molten Flame Demon he had just dismissed back to the Fire Element Plane appeared once more.

This type of summoning spell was actually a duration-based contract spell. Once cast, it could last for an entire day.

During that time, Lin Yi, as the summoner, could have the two Fire Demons return to the Elemental Plane to rest and recuperate whenever he wished, then summon them back out again.

There was no need to cast the spell again.

With this big fellow covered in flames, Lin Yi pointed ahead, and the Molten Flame Demon obediently walked toward the spot where the emerald-green light had flickered earlier.

Like a giant light bulb.

With the Molten Flame Demon's illumination,

Lin Yi quickly discovered the source of the emerald glow.

It was inside the cave the Wind Pattern Tiger King had emerged from earlier!

With the Molten Flame Demon clearing the way ahead, coupled with the fact that a Tier 7 Spell had already swept the area clean, Lin Yi was not too worried that some sneaky bastard was still hiding in the cave, waiting to ambush him.

Still, to be safe,

Lin Yi had the Molten Flame Demon cast Lava Shield on him.

Then, following behind it, he slowly entered the cave.

The moment he entered, Lin Yi felt a powerful gust of wind blowing straight at him.

Even with most of it blocked by the Molten Flame Demon's massive body, Lin Yi still felt that the wind speed was absurd.

What the hell was inside this cave for the wind element to be so dense?

To Lin Yi's surprise, the cave was far deeper than he had imagined.

After walking for a while, the tunnel began to slope downward into the earth.

Fortunately, the incline was not too steep. Lin Yi could still crouch and make his way down slowly.

Several minutes later, Lin Yi finally saw the source of the emerald glow he had spotted earlier, and he was deeply shocked!

After passing through the cramped and difficult tunnel, the space suddenly opened up.

The entire cave seemed to have become a vast hall with an incredibly high dome, while violent winds of around force ten howled through it.

And the source of those violent winds was the countless emerald-green crystals growing outward from the cave walls.

Lin Yi could sense that these crystals contained incredibly pure wind elemental power!

This was probably why fierce winds blew through this cave all year round. Deep within the cave were vast amounts of this mineral Lin Yi had never heard of!

Although Lin Yi had never seen this mineral before,

he instinctively realized that it seemed very similar to the "Natural Treasures" described in his textbooks.

Simply put, after Blue Star's mutation, many minerals, plants, and even animals underwent changes in their properties after being tainted by certain spiritual auras.

And these changes were beneficial to humans.

Over time, such things were categorized as Natural Treasures or Spiritual Items.

Lin Yi was delighted.

His luck today was really good!

He had not expected an unexpected reward in addition to that Skill Book!

If he took these things to the Trading House, they would probably sell for a good price, right?

Hmm, it seemed he also needed to find a way to get an Identification Skill.

Otherwise, even if he knew these crystals were treasures, he would not know exactly what they were or how much they were worth.

That would be troublesome too.

Lin Yi examined the area carefully.

The emerald-green crystals throughout the cave were scattered irregularly.

A small number of crystals had grown on the ceiling and high up the cave walls, where he definitely could not reach them.

Fortunately, seven or eight clusters of crystals grew in the same place, and they were not positioned too high. He could not reach them,

but the big fool beside him could!

Lin Yi directed the Molten Flame Demon toward those massive crystal veins.

Soon, with the help of the firelight, Lin Yi saw more details.

Beneath that huge mass of emerald-green crystals lay countless animal skeletons, along with scattered tufts of fur.

Judging from the thickness and length of the fur, it must have fallen from the Tiger King earlier.

That Tiger King had rested beneath this crystal vein year-round, so no wonder it had gained some special wind-element abilities.

Did this count as some bizarre symbiotic relationship between a treasure and a monster?
