Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

The black rock python moved its body and came to her side.

It slowly raised its huge head, its forked tongue flickering, its eyes fixed intently on Matthew.

Angela's red lips curved slightly into a smile. "Why don't you invite me in?"

Matthew met the other person's gaze directly without flinching: "What do you want?"

"I thought you'd die in the sect's mission, but I didn't expect you to advance to intermediate apprentice. No wonder you didn't need my help!"

"You came all this way in the middle of the night just to say this?" Matthew asked in a flat tone, his face devoid of any emotion.

Angela's smile remained unchanged, and she parted her red lips slightly to continue.

"I think you should have noticed that your soul is moving at an unusually high speed."

"If you calculate the time, you should only have one hour left for meditation now."

"If you don't get treatment soon, your soul will begin to wither away."

"No need!" Matthew sneered inwardly, and was about to close the door as soon as he finished speaking.

At that moment, an arm wrapped in bandages quickly rose and grabbed the edge of the door.

Angela's smile vanished, and she stared intently at Matthew, as if trying to see through his soul.

She always felt that Matthew had become a different person since he returned from the Realm of Winter, and he was somewhat unfathomable.

The black rock python's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, as if it had discovered something.

It leaned close to Angela's ear and licked it with its tongue.

Her face froze, and she looked at Matthew with an incredulous expression.

"You... you actually resolved the soul corruption..."

She originally intended to force Matthew to continue her experiments by corrupting her soul.

But to everyone's surprise, an average apprentice managed to solve the problem on his own.

This was completely beyond Angela's expectations!

However, Matthew's expression remained unchanged, and he did not respond.

And so, the two stared at each other, frozen in place.

A moment later...

Angela took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

"Equivalent exchange..."

"I want your solution to the soul corruption."

"Huh?" Matthew looked surprised, not expecting Angela to make such a request.

Are you sure?

Angela didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "I will offer you something of equal value in exchange. Name your terms."

Matthew fell into deep thought, his mind racing.

What he wants most right now is the correct way to cultivate the hallucinogenic mushrooms like Angela's.

This is crucial to whether he can become a senior apprentice before the wizard advancement trials.

The solution to the soul corruption problem is actually to fuse with the bloodline of the Abyssal Dragon, which is not some very profound knowledge.

As for the bloodline fusion technology of the Eternal Twilight School, its most valuable aspect is the bloodline fusion path of Xu Mou that they discovered after countless years of exhaustive research.

Angela only asked for a solution to the soul corruption, so Matthew only needed to provide the Eternal Twilight School's technique for fusing dragon bloodlines.

Without a complete bloodline pathway, this technology will be useless unless Angela can spend hundreds of years completing it.

"I want your method for cultivating hallucinogenic mushrooms."

Upon hearing this, Angela's face turned ugly, and she glared fiercely at Matthew.

Seeing Angela's expression, Matthew had already guessed how precious the method of cultivating hallucinogenic mushrooms was.

He made a move to close the door again. "Since you're unwilling to exchange... then forget it."

Angela's face darkened, and she uttered two words in an icy tone.

"I... will switch!"

Matthew smiled slightly. "Okay, but I have one more condition."

"Click—click—"

Angela gripped the doorframe tighter, causing several cracks to appear in the wooden door and tiny wood chips to fall out.

"You...don't go too far..."

"Since you're unwilling, then forget it..."

"You...speak!" Angela interrupted through gritted teeth, suppressing her anger.

"I need to sign a soul contract with you, and I will write the terms of the contract!"

"Can!"

Matthew took out a parchment from his storage bracelet and quickly wrote the terms of the soul contract on it.

In the contract, he explicitly demanded that Angela provide him with the correct cultivation method for hallucinogenic mushrooms in exchange, rather than the incorrect mushroom cultivation methods that Milo possessed, leaving no loopholes for the other party to exploit.

Angela took the contract, quickly scanned it, and immediately signed her name after finding no problems with the terms.

The soul contract quickly ignited into black flames, instantly burning the parchment wrapping to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

At this moment, both of them noticed some new limitations in their souls.

"I need some time to prepare."

This time, Angela didn't try to stop her. She pulled her hand back from the door and watched it close quickly.

A moment later, the door opened again.

Matthew came out of the house and handed over a thin booklet.

Angela kept her word and took out a book from her storage space to exchange with Matthew.

After getting the items, Matthew didn't waste any time and immediately closed the door.

He immediately opened the system and extracted the contents of Angela's mushroom cultivation manual.

After some research, he discovered that the cultivation material for hallucinogenic mushrooms was the Whispering Mushroom from the Winter Realm, which matched his previous guess.

The cultivation method for hallucinogenic mushrooms is not particularly difficult, but the cultivation period is a bit long.

However, Matthew is not worried about breeding because he has Pokémon.

Mixed elemental spirits have a special talent for cultivating magical plants, which can greatly increase the growth rate of magical plants.

He was worried that without the hallucinogenic mushrooms, he might not be able to step into the library again when Pero woke up three months later.

But now...

Matthew smiled. "The hallucinogenic mushrooms cultivated according to the methods in the manual will definitely have a more concentrated soul power after refinement!"

"Perrot would probably like it..."

"It's a pity I don't have any Whispering Mushrooms on hand right now."

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Winter Realm when I have some free time."

After reading through Angela's manual on cultivating hallucinogenic mushrooms, Matthew walked to the bedside and sat down cross-legged.

Soon, his mind immersed itself in the mental space and began his meditation for the day.

......

In the dormitory of a certain advanced apprentice of the Tidal School, there is a room with numerous tombstones.

Beneath the tombstone lay no corpses, but rather the imprisoned souls of those whose consciousness had faded.

"Bang!!!" Angela smashed the tombstone in front of her to pieces with a heavy punch.

The vengeful spirits, whose eyes had been empty, were all greatly frightened and curled up in fear.

"That kid tricked me!"

At this moment, Angela's usual charm was gone, replaced by a terrifying expression of anger.

She had long since discovered that Matthew had fused with a magical beast bloodline, so she never imagined that he was solving the problem by fusing with a second bloodline.

She did know that the Abyssal Dragon bloodline could resolve soul corruption, but this method was useless to her research.
