Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 39 Night Without Returning

"Xiao An, did you succeed?"

"See for yourself."

Taiya couldn't wait to rush to the lab table full of medicine bottles, reach into the test tube rack and pull out a standard dose of life potion. She shook it first to confirm the concentration, then loosened the stopper and held it to her nose.

Excellent quality!

Taiya then took out the second and third tubes, checking them repeatedly more than a dozen times, and without exception, they were all of excellent quality.

"We're rich! We're rich! We can spend money however we want from now on..."

Taiya excitedly grabbed her younger brother's shoulders and shook him vigorously.

A total of sixty standard portions can sell for at least two to three hundred Jinlong cigarettes!

High-quality life potions are best-selling products with strong market demand and excellent cash flow! There is no issue of inventory backlog.

"Xiao An? Do you want to keep some?"

"I've already kept a few bottles; you can do whatever you want with the rest."

The young boy left the lab with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant, while secretly making plans in his mind.

Brewing a potion of life once a week generates about a thousand gold coins a month. Over a year, that's enough to make more than ten thousand gold coins.

Potions making is indeed a highly profitable industry!

Although ordinary potion makers may not be as efficient as him, his strong physique and resulting mental recovery ability are the main reasons why he can produce in large quantities.

"Young Master, Aglaia hasn't returned. Has something happened?" Mussofi reported the unusual situation.

Tai'an closed his eyes, sensing Aglaia's mental coordinates to confirm she was within the academy. He then mentally mapped the academy for a rough comparison.

"She's at the school clinic right now; I'll go check on her later."

"Young master, once the wizarding branch goes out at night, they can't get back in..."

"It's alright, let's have dinner first..."

Night fell completely, and the torrential rain gradually subsided.

Tai'an raised his hands slightly, and waited for a long time before feeling the raindrops hitting his palms.

Mussofi handed over a bamboo food box.

Tai'an casually put the item into his spatial ring: "Don't worry about me, I'll be back at dawn."

As he turned, his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Dressed entirely in a black formal suit, exuding a cool and aloof style, he leaped and bounded through the air at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

I've decided to go out and have some fun tonight; visiting Aglaia is just a side trip.

Tai'an was immersed in the pleasure of being fully enhanced in all aspects of his human and immortal state, as if in a daze, he had already entered the school clinic.

The guards at the gate were completely unaware.

The door to Aglaia's ward suddenly opened, and a large amount of fresh air rushed in.

The girl, who had been sleeping with her eyes closed, opened them and looked in the direction from which the cold wind was coming.

"Young Master?"

Tai'an's index finger gathers light elements and gently touches the daffodils in the vase.

The withered flowers regained some life, and their white petals shone with a faint glow.

The Tier 0 Trick of Light can apply light to any object. The duration depends on the material's magic resistance; for superconducting materials like mithril, it can theoretically last almost indefinitely.

"You didn't go back, so I came to check on you." The boy explained why he was there, taking out a food box and placing it on the bedside table. "You seem to have eaten?"

"It was Ms. Hua Yun, the school doctor, who helped buy dinner." A warm feeling welled up in Aglaia's heart. "I actually wanted to go back, but I couldn't; I seem to be getting quite sick."

"Drink it, it should make you feel better..." Tai'an took out the life potion and handed it to his female subordinate.

Aglaia remained silent for a moment. She couldn't have been unaware of the preciousness of the life potion. She opened her mouth slightly as if to refuse, but in the end, she silently accepted it.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could hold on."

"Next time, you must listen to me."

"Um…"

Aglaia struggled to loosen the cork, tilted her head back, and poured the contents down her throat.

The first time I drank the life-giving potion, my mouth was filled with a sweet and refreshing taste, and the cool life energy quickly spread and diffused throughout my body. The taste was quite good, and the effects were immediate. My internal organs were nourished by the life energy, and my heavy body felt as if it had been freed from its shackles, becoming much lighter.

"Take good care of yourself and get well soon. I'll have Mussofi take you to buy some nice clothes."

The young boss casually made grand promises to his beautiful female subordinate, and then swaggered away.

Royal City, a city that never sleeps.

The dazzling magical lights lining both sides of the street create an atmosphere of extravagance and restlessness.

The city's security forces, patrolling on their jet-black demon horses, were led by a black-armored knight who suddenly looked up as if sensing something.

On a lamppost by the roadside, a black cloak fluttered in the wind, and a figure lightly landed on one foot.

The next second, his figure transformed into a blur and soared into the sky.

A quick-thinking team member also witnessed the scene: "Captain!?"

The lead black-armored knight raised his hand: "If you can't afford to mess with them, then don't."

The black demon horse beneath him seemed to echo his sentiment, letting out a loud neigh.

To save money, many warriors leap into the air, but he alone flies the highest!

Tai'an attempted to manipulate the wind's trajectory to further enhance his speed and, crucially, to change direction to some extent.

Tonight we're just going out to have fun and spend money.

As a newcomer from out of town, Tai'an decided to ask around to find out where people liked to go for entertainment in the evenings.

Where can I find someone to ask this question?

Soaring through the air, the boy's eyes searched everywhere.

A horse-drawn carriage parked by the roadside, waiting to solicit customers, caught his attention.

A middle-aged man with brown curly hair, a stubble beard, and an unkempt appearance leaned against the side of his carriage, a pipe between his fingers, puffing out smoke with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Tai'an approached and struck up a conversation: "How much is your fare?"

"Sir, anywhere within the Second Ring Road, the starting price is one silver dollar."

"It's a bit expensive!"

"This is a private car..."

Tai'an took out a silver coin, clenched his fist, placed it on his thumb, and flicked it out.

The bearded middle-aged man reached out and caught it precisely, immediately flashing a warm smile: "Get in, sir...where would you like to go?"

"I'm looking for a place to relax. Any recommendations?"

"You've come to the right person! There's no place in the Violet Capital that I, Kester, don't know. Nightingale Road is the best choice for eating, drinking, and having fun—affordable and no rip-offs. The Dark Elf House is a holy place for men." The middle-aged man winked and gave a knowing look.

"And then, besides women?"

"At the Grand Arena, you can witness the most thrilling life-or-death battles, and also gamble based on your own judgment, hoping to win a good profit. The Grand Arena stays open until 10 PM."

"besides?"

"Night Owl Auctions often feature some great items, so if you're keen on finding bargains and treasures, don't miss out."

If you're really bored, you can go to Magic Cinema to watch a projection; some of the adventure movies that have been released recently are quite good.

I don't recommend dining within the Second Ring Road; restaurants are too expensive. I suggest finding a popular barbecue stall outside the Third Ring Road. The food is good and the prices are reasonable, but there might be security issues; theft and fights are common…
