Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 213 Return
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Fang Yu was packing his things when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Fang Yu then walked to the door. Upon opening it and seeing Jiang Shaoxu, he turned and smiled, then prepared to continue packing his clothes, saying, "What, are you here to see me off?"

Jiang Shaoxu asked, "What are you going back to China for?"

"I have something to do. There's a training ground in the country where I can improve my cultivation," Fang Yu replied. Helping Mu Ningxue while juggling two relationships is something that can't be discussed openly.

Jiang Shaoxu paused, then asked in confusion, "Why is Mu Ningxue with you?"

“She practices ice magic, so that place is perfect for her,” Fang Yu said.

"When will you be back?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.

"The timing is still uncertain," Fang Yu said.

After saying that, Jiang Shaoxu, still fuming, turned around and walked out of Fang Yu's room.

After the mentors finished explaining everything, they prepared to leave as evening approached. The entire team stood at the door, watching the mentors see them off.

On the way back, the two of them were also there. Watching Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue leave together, Mo Fan felt a sense of impending loss of something precious.
This feeling wasn't just something Mo Fan experienced; Guan Yu's teeth were grinding, and he felt like he was about to explode!
After returning to Shanghai, Fang Yu took Mu Ningxue directly to LS, the capital city.
……

The capital city holds an extremely high status, hosting many of the most authoritative international magical organizations' meetings. The most authoritative mage organizations in the country are the Imperial Court Mages of the Forbidden City and the Holy Palace Mages of the Potala Palace. The Imperial Court Mages focus on internal affairs, while the Holy Palace Mages focus on external affairs.

There are fewer clouds on the Shen Du Plateau, and the sky looks exceptionally blue, with a sapphire-like brilliance.

In LS, tourists and locals are easily distinguishable at a glance, and along the way, we encountered some quite nice "scenery."

Fearing that it would waste time, Fang Yu bought a map and then took Mu Ningxue towards Tianshan.

……

Covered in snow that never melts, ancient glaciers stand majestically. Taking a deep breath of the clean air, the oxygen carrying the scent of snow and ice gave the two of them an unprecedented sense of pleasure.

Upon arriving in the Tianshan region, Fang Yu gazed upon this mysterious, dangerous, yet opportune sacred mountain in the snowy land.

The Holy Spirit Feathered Beast that once hovered above the Tianshan Mountains, that colossal shadow—what kind of being was it! The impression remains etched in my mind, impossible to erase.

Once my cultivation level improves, perhaps I will be able to find His traces.

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Ningxue asked, somewhat puzzled, when she saw Fang Yu standing there gazing into the distance.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something," Fang Yu replied.

“The spiritual energy here is very strong,” Mu Ningxue said.

"The Tianshan Mountains are a blessed land for ice mages," Fang Yu nodded and said.

"We've arrived at Xilan Town! Let's go in!"

The two stepped into Xilan Town, which is located at the foot of the eastern Tianshan Mountains. Xilan Town is a very famous secluded town in this area.

Upon arriving here, Fang Yu did not rush to take Mu Ningxue into Tianshan. Instead, he strolled around the area. Tianshan was not a place that could be easily set foot in, and some preparations were needed before heading there.

The town is quite large, easily resembling a small city, and its facilities are relatively complete. Xilan Town is divided in two by a snow mountain stream. One side is full of places to stay, such as accommodation and restaurants, while the other side is filled with various magic shops, street stalls, and even a slaughterhouse where freshly dismembered demons are slaughtered!

Ninety-nine percent of the people who remain here are magicians. The owner of the lamb kebab stall is a fire mage, the uncle selling meat might be holding a magical artifact, and even the guy introducing customers drifts around on wind tracks.

Unlike many mage inns, which are rather simple, the houses here are designed for practicality and are mostly sturdy and rugged stone houses.

The two of them walking together were quite eye-catching, but those who lived here were all seasoned veterans who knew that young mages were the least likely to be provoked, especially when they were accompanied by a beautiful female mage.

Who knows if he's truly powerful or has a powerful background? He's certainly good at assessing situations.

"Tap tap~ tap tap~~~"

Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue walked on the heavy stone steps.

"嘤~"

The snow woman couldn't resist coming out for some fresh air. Seeing the pure ice element aura here, she immediately beamed with joy and perched on Fang Yu's head, enjoying it.

"Ring~"

Little Flame Princess followed closely behind. She ran back and forth between Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue, happily letting out clear and melodious laughter.

Feeling the warmth from her hand, Mu Ningxue smiled. "Ring ring ring!!"

"Snow Maiden, Flame Princess! You are truly blessed to have two elemental holy spirits following you!" Mu Ningxue said.

"Maybe I was just lucky." What? If I told you I have a treasure chest system and know the storyline, wouldn't I just be seen as crazy?

"By the way, you've awakened the Summoning element at a high level. Don't rush to sign the contract yet. You have powerful ice-type energy hidden within your body, and most demons can't withstand the coldness in your soul," Fang Yu explained to Mu Ningxue.

After hearing what Fang Yu said, even Mu Ningxue was surprised: "Huh?"

A mage who majors in one magic discipline is very powerful, but even the most powerful mage needs magical energy. Therefore, their minor disciplines and secondary disciplines cannot be too weak either.

However, once they encounter an equally matched opponent, as long as the opponent exhausts their magical energy...
"Can't I make a contract?" Mu Ningxue felt a little melancholy when she heard that she couldn't use the summoning system.

"Is there a solution?" Mu Ningxue asked Fang Yu.

“Yes, there is a totem white tiger cub. It’s an interesting little guy. The white tiger cub can use its own bloodline to fight against your special constitution,” Fang Yu replied.

The white tiger totem of Tianshan is actually the most suitable contracted beast for Mu Ningxue, but unfortunately, white tiger totem is not easy to encounter.

Furthermore, with higher cultivation levels, opportunities will always arise; the only difference is time.
"A totem?" Mu Ningxue asked, puzzled.

“Yes, totems! My rapid increase in strength is also due to the gifts from totems. Do you remember the giant shadow we encountered in the Pacific Ocean?” Fang Yu said.

“I remember, was that a totem too?” Mu Ningxue asked.

"That's the Totem Baxia. Zhao Manyan obtained its totem vessel in the cherry blossoms and was fortunate enough to become the totem guardian. That's why his magical defense became increasingly strong and powerful, eventually transforming him into a true turtle-shell mage," Fang Yu explained.

"The totem white tiger lives in the Tianshan Mountains. With our strength, going in would be suicide. It takes time and luck. So you can't rush this. Let's take it slow," Fang Yu continued.

"Okay! I understand."

Hearing this, Mu Ningxue was somewhat disappointed. Although she was unwilling, since Fang Yu had said so, she could only wait for an opportunity...

During their conversation, the two arrived at a hotel.

That evening, Fang Yu went straight to Mu Ningxue's residence.

"Um"

He didn't have any particular intentions; he simply invited Mu Ningxue to inquire about any news of Qin Yu'er.

Outside the door, Fang Yu heard the 'splashing' sound of water, which was particularly pleasant. Unfortunately, it was just something to listen to; further development of the relationship was not realistic at the moment.

"dong dong dong"

"Who is it?" A few seconds later, Mu Ningxue's voice came from inside.

"I."

After hearing Fang Yu's voice, Mu Ningxue came over and opened the door about five minutes later.

The wooden sliding door was opened, revealing Mu Ningxue's sexy and alluring long silver hair, which was already styled into an updo, exposing her exquisitely beautiful face and her long, swan-like neck.

Most importantly, she was wearing a very languid, low-cut slip dress, the thin fabric of which couldn't conceal her ample bosom.

This woman seems to have a special fondness for white; she always dresses in pure white.

Perhaps it's because of the coldness in her body?
It could also be because her magic is ice-based.
Seeing Fang Yu's burning gaze, Mu Ningxue felt a little shy, but her cool and aloof expression didn't seem much different from usual.

"What do you need me for?" Mu Ningxue asked.

“Let’s go out for a walk, and we need to gather some information,” Fang Yu replied.

"Okay, wait for me to change my clothes," Mu Ningxue nodded and said.

Subsequently.

They gathered a lot of firsthand information about the Tianshan Mountains in Xilan Town.

But there was still no news about Qin Yu'er, so they could only go to Tianshan to find out.
