Find the next number in the series:
$$1,6,23,76,\_\_\_\_\_$$

Let's determine the logical pattern connecting the consecutive terms of the series:
* $1^{\text{st}}\text{ term}=1$
* $2^{\text{nd}}\text{ term}=(1\times 3)+3=6$
* $3^{\text{rd}}\text{ term}=(6\times 3)+5=23$
* $4^{\text{th}}\text{ term}=(23\times 3)+7=76$

The pattern consists of multiplying the previous term by $3$ and adding consecutive odd numbers ($3,5,7,9,\dots$).

Following this logic, the next term will be:

$$\text{Next term}=(76\times 3)+9$$

$$\text{Next term}=228+9=237$$
