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

Chapter 461 National Team

When Jiang Shaoxu saw the two of them looking like this, she immediately understood what they had done that day. She was furious, thinking, "These damn bastards!"

"You two are slacking off!" Jiang Shaoxu said, glaring at the two of them.

Fang Yu smiled awkwardly and didn't respond; he couldn't afford to offend this person. As for Mu Ningxue, her pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head, her attitude of admitting her mistake very clearly, after all, everyone's main purpose in coming here was to help her.

After a moment of silence, Fang Yu broke the stillness and asked, "What information have you all uncovered?"

“We’ve certainly made a lot of progress today. In these Tianshan Mountains, the little white tiger might be a Saint-level totem beast. Its status might even be above that of the Black Tortoise,” Lingling replied.

“I know this even if you don’t tell me, and I’ve even seen it before,” Fang Yu replied.

"You've seen him before?" Lingling asked in surprise. If that's the case, Fang Yu had been to Tianshan before.

"Then what kind of totem beast is it?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, still very angry, but there was nothing he could do about this bastard.

"The offspring of the sacred totem, the white tiger."

"Really?" Jiang Shaoxu asked again.

Clearly, she was quite interested in this totem creature.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"I really hope to see it!" Jiang Shaoxu, who inherited his brother's path, really wanted to see this rare offspring of a totem sacred beast. It was the closest thing to the sacred totem, and he might even be able to obtain information about the White Tiger from it.

"Moreover, there isn't just one totem white tiger in Tianshan. Another one exists in the sky. I wonder if there's any hope of meeting it this time," Fang Yu sighed.

"Even though my brother has traveled all over the world, he has only encountered a few totem beasts, and most of them are just traces without ever actually seeing them." Although Jiang Shaoxu's brother knew a lot about the traces of totem beasts, most of them were just traces.

Fang Yu, on the other hand, hardly ever searches for totems, but whenever he appears in a place with a totem, he always manages to find the other party.

The big-headed baby is adorned with the totems of the Chiwen, Xuanshe, Baxia, and Yue'ehuang, along with several sacred-feathered Vermilion Birds.

"My dream is to transform Snowmoon City into a place where totems live," Fang Yu said.

Imagine the sight of someone who has subdued a group of totems as their underlings.

……

After gathering some information, the group set off for Pan Town.

Pan Town, located on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, is quite different from other special post stations. As mentioned before, its existence was due to the relatives of those who went missing in the Tianshan Mountains. They spontaneously built wooden houses along a river at the foot of the mountains in anticipation of their return, which gradually formed into a village and then a town. Later, those who wanted to go to the Tianshan Mountains also flocked to Pan Town in search of supplies and a place to stay, turning it into a starting point for people heading to the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains. Hunters, explorers, mercenaries, students, and adventurers gradually filled this small town.

There aren't many locals here; most are outsiders.

And this town is really huge, almost half the size of a small city!

"It's really lively here. It's hard to believe this is a small town," Zhao Manyan said.

"Moreover, there are quite a few mid-level mages. Aren't they afraid of dying?" Mo Fan also said.

To enter the glacial snow layer, one's strength must be at least at a high level. There are at least five or six thousand mages in the entire Pan Town, but none of them have reached the high level.

Although it was clear that the mages who came here were no pushovers, their overall strength and fighting spirit far surpassing those elsewhere, a mid-level mage was still just a mid-level mage. In this Heavenly Mountain, even high-level mages weren't guaranteed safety. It was truly baffling what these people were thinking. "The Heavenly Mountain is so vast, divided into many layers according to different altitudes. With so many mages, not all of them must be heading for the glacial snow layer; the other layers also hold many treasures," Lingling explained.

"Take out the National Government badges, we should go assemble," Jiang Shaoxu suddenly asked.

The National Government emblem is made of a special material, a fluorescent piece taken from the same Mind Stone, which can be used to sense the relative positions of each other by the intensity of the light.

If the distance is too far, the national emblem will not be very effective, and can only provide a general direction like a compass. If the distance is close, the emblem will light up.

The National University badge is a personalized item, and every student who has graduated from National University now has one. Although they have all graduated and completed the World University Competition, everyone keeps it as a memento.

"It's lit up, let's go this way," Mu Ningxue pointed out.

Following the badge's guidance, the group of seven walked along the main road of Pan Town.

People came and went on the road, and the badges shone brighter and brighter, flashing faster and faster, almost continuously.

"We should be there soon!" Zhao Manyan said, looking at the badge in his hand.

"Yes, it's very close," Mo Fan replied.

"Can't you two at least look up and see what's in front of you?" Fang Yu said, pursing his lips as he looked at Ai Jiangtu in front of him.

The two looked up and saw a dark bronze face standing on the street. He was wearing a brown linen cloak and a fur scarf that made him look even more dashing.

Ai Jiangtu stood there, equally astonished as he looked at Fang Yu and the others who were walking towards him.

“Isn’t this Captain Ai?” Zhao Manyan said.

"They've arrived." Ai Jiangtu exclaimed, surprised that so many veteran members of the National Team had come this time.

"Let's not say anything more, let's find a place to have a few drinks, haha." Jiang Shaoxu seemed very happy.

"Let me take you to meet a few people first," Ai Jiangtu said with a smile.

……

At a large table, Fang Yu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Ningxue sat on one side, while Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, and Guan Yu sat opposite them.

Almost no one expected that they would gather together again in this way.

"Does this count as a class reunion?" Jiang Yu asked first.

"I didn't expect you guys to come here this time, and even as a team," Fang Yu said with a shrug.

“We didn’t expect you to come either, and we were surprised to hear what Mu Ningxue said.”

After he finished speaking, they all smiled.

This seems like a coincidence, but it has to be said that it is too much of a coincidence!

"Here's the thing," Nan Jue explained with a smile. "Several mentors invited a few of us from the north to teach some students in the capital, so we got together for a bit. Old Ai said he planned to leave the army temporarily to gain some experience outside. Jiang Yu, Guan Yu, and I all had the same idea. We happened to hear recently that a great rift valley had appeared in the Tianshan Mountains, leading directly to the Tianshan Rift, so we decided not to go back and came here instead."
