Chapter 300: Chapter 32: Bountiful Harvest, Soul Spirit Water Digestion Complete

Mo Ning’s attention was immediately drawn to a specific term—extremely strong.

The Female Apprentice then added, not without a hint of envy:

"By the way, Mr. Rich Guy, if you don’t have a use for it someday, you can transfer it to me. But remember to give me a discount; I’m not as rich as you."

The Female Apprentice clearly had her eye on this item. For something to tempt even a Third Level Apprentice, its effects must be extraordinary.

Mo Ning just smiled and didn’t reply.

Soon, the Magic Ring sent a notification.

He opened the secure storage locker and immediately saw the item Master Yi Lin had prepared for him.

It was a triangular white badge.

The badge was made of metal and was exceptionally fine in its craftsmanship. Its edges were carved with numerous slender and intricate patterns, while the center revealed a ripple-like design.

The strangest part was that the ripples were in constant motion, as if a real water surface existed in the center of the badge.

Mo Ning picked up the badge and let out a small sound of surprise.

The badge was incredibly light. Even though his fingertips felt metal, it was as light as a ball of cotton.

His Spiritual Power seeped into it, touching a mark, and he immediately learned all the information about the badge.

[Kara Psychic Badge: Activate the badge to gain "Kara’s Protection," which significantly enhances one’s Sensing Power toward spiritual contamination and provides extremely strong resistance.]

[When spiritual contamination is present in the environment, Kara’s Protection will cause the wearer to hear the "Cries of Kara."]

[When the wearer is being eroded by spiritual contamination, Kara’s Protection can transfer the contamination into the badge, causing a "Tear of Kara" to condense on its surface.]

[Requirements: 5 points of Spiritual Strength, 120 points of Magic Pool Capacity.]

[Quality: Zhuoyue. Remaining Spiritual Value: 588 points. Activating the badge will slowly consume a small amount of Spiritual Value. Resisting contamination will consume a certain amount of Spiritual Value. Soaking the badge in "Kara Source Water" can slowly restore its Spiritual Value.]

Mo Ning was incredibly surprised and delighted as he read.

Zhuoyue Quality!

’It really is a fine item. No wonder even Nasha couldn’t help but covet this badge.’

The most crucial part was that the Fourth Arbitration Institute specialized in matters related to the Evil God Sect. He would likely have many dealings with unholy creatures in the future, and the risk of being contaminated by an Evil God was quite high.

Now that he had the [Kara Psychic Badge], his safety was undoubtedly much more secure.

Even if he encountered intense contamination during a mission, and even if the badge couldn’t completely dispel it, he wouldn’t have much trouble just staying alive.

What delighted him even more was that the badge was a rare item with recoverable "durability."

It wasn’t that most Witchcraft Items couldn’t have their Spiritual Power replenished, but the cost was enormous. It was said that a spiritual ritual was needed to infuse them with Spirituality.

Anyone with the slightest understanding of spiritual rituals knew that performing one cost at least 1,000 Black Tower Points.

This was clearly not worth the cost; it would be better to just buy a new piece of equipment.

But the badge was different.

Compared to a complex spiritual ritual, the cost of soaking it in [Kara Source Water] was undoubtedly much lower.

Even an ordinary Apprentice could tell that this piece of equipment was extremely valuable. Even Official Wizards could make use of it.

Moreover, equipment that countered spiritual contamination was already rare. With rarity comes value, so its market price would be no less than 5,000 Black Tower Points.

All in all, Master Yi Lin was as generous as ever.

Mo Ning toyed with the badge, thinking to himself, ’Nasha’s message should be arriving soon, right?’

There was no way Master Yi Lin wouldn’t have provided information about the [Kara Source Water]. The Female Apprentice must have been deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Barely two seconds passed before the expected message arrived.

"By the way, Master said that Kara Source Water is a Spiritual Liquid extracted from the First Level Magical Beast, the ’Kara Water Demon.’ You can hunt them yourself in the future after you’re promoted to a Wizard."

"Master also specially prepared three portions of Kara Source Water for you. Each portion can restore about 50 points of Spiritual Value, which should be enough for you for the next twenty years."

"Seriously, I’m starting to suspect you might be Master’s direct descendant."

Mo Ning couldn’t help but smile.

He could just imagine how the generosity his master displayed must have filled Nasha with uncontrollable jealousy.

And when people are jealous, they inevitably do some strange things.

For example, the Female Apprentice played a boring little trick, deliberately delaying this message for a while before sending it.

The old saying was right—jealousy makes people ugly.

But Mo Ning completely understood Nasha’s feelings.

When Treasures that even a Third Level Apprentice would drool over fell into the hands of a First Level Apprentice one after another, it was hard not to be shaken by such a stark contrast.

And yet, Nasha’s heart hadn’t been twisted by it. She only played little tricks occasionally; her willpower was already quite firm.

On the other hand, there was that guy Sitt. Mo Ning had heard from Anya that Sitt had said many hateful things about him behind his back, which he found rather baffling.

He had never provoked Sitt and had even kindly warned him to be wary of Lai Te, only to be treated as an enemy in return.

Anya also mentioned another thing: Sitt had once tried to construct an Aurora Spirit Ring embedded in his Witchcraft Model. Unfortunately, his Divination skills were severely lacking, and he gave up hastily after being stuck on a difficult point for three days.

This perfectly confirmed Princess Phoebe’s assessment of Sitt—the man was always eager to become stronger, yet always lacked patience.

Two days ago, Sitt had begun constructing a White Ring without Spell Slots. It was said that he had already made a breakthrough and was about to become the second newcomer of his year to be promoted.

In previous years, Sitt would have been the center of everyone’s attention, but this year, few of the newcomers paid him any mind.

「One day later.」

「Great White Birch Forest, Cabin in the Woods.」

A light forest breeze drifted in through the window, lazily weaving through the main hall and sprinkling a fresh scent into every corner.

Every half hour, Flower would activate ventilation mode, using fresh air to disperse the slight stuffiness that had accumulated inside.

Whenever Mo Ning was reading, she would also extend the ventilation time appropriately to give her master a better reading experience.

Mo Ning’s gaze was fixed on page 148 of the middle volume of *Low-Cycle Divination Introduction*, while the [Pen of Contemplation] tirelessly sketched and wrote on a sheet of draft paper.

The knowledge from the first volume was already filed away in his brain, so he had opportunely begun reading the middle volume.

A faint trace of blood-red appeared in the depths of his eyes. It tried to spread and grow but was suppressed by an invisible force, rendered almost immobile.

The negative Spiritual Power contained within the [Soul Spirit Water] was still relentlessly spreading its spiritual contamination, yet it remained firmly suppressed.

More than two days had passed, but the Soul of Deathly Silence had still failed to achieve any decent results against a First Level Apprentice.

It seemed to have been deeply struck by this failure, its restlessness decreasing by more than ninety percent compared to the beginning.

Just then, Mo Ning suddenly broke into a smile.

He faintly heard an extremely soft sigh, followed by an indescribable feeling of relief washing over his entire body, as if a monumental weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Flower’s gentle, joyous voice softly tapped against his eardrums:

"Mr. Mo Ning, congratulations. The [Soul Spirit Water] has been completely digested."

The Artificial Soul immediately added, "Your level of digestion for the [Soul Spirit Water] has reached an extremely high standard, far exceeding all recorded cases in my knowledge base!"

At this, she raised her tone. "You have done something truly remarkable."
