Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Xia Jian and Westin stood outside the basement room waiting.

Watching Westin pace back and forth, Xia Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's not like you're the one advancing, why are you so nervous?"

"Well, I'm just a little worried."

Westin gave a slightly embarrassed dry laugh.

Although it's not his advancement, just waiting around would make him seem unimportant. What if Xia Jian doesn't like him?

Besides, promotion is not that easy, otherwise so many top apprentices wouldn't be stuck in their positions for life.

The total amount of resources required is astronomical; an ordinary apprentice could go bankrupt after just one failure.

Xia Jian is, after all, a newly promoted genius wizard. It is estimated that apart from the magic stones obtained from the Sea of ​​Death, he probably doesn't have many resources left.

"Don't worry, just consider failure as a learning experience. You'll do better next time."

Xia Jian waved his hand, gesturing for Westin to sit down.

Westin didn't say much, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly.

This kind of experience is better left unexperienced!

Failure will permanently reduce the success rate of subsequent promotions, which can be a fatal blow to an apprentice.

Most top-tier apprentices will take a year or two to mature. Who would advance to the next level right after reaching the peak of the apprentice level? That would be too hasty.

That's the difference between summer and the locals.

For Xia Jian, the sooner he gets promoted, the better, so that he won't end up feeling lonely because he doesn't have enough time later.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there are enough resources and the backer is strong enough to provide a safety net for Leia and the others.

At worst, he could find an opportunity to randomly select a faction and pull off a heist; Xia Jian didn't believe he wouldn't be able to snag the advancement potion.

…………

After half a day, a powerful spiritual force seeped out of the room.

Because of its remote location and scarcity of wizards, Xia Jian did not specifically set up any isolation formations.

Sensing this familiar spiritual power, a smile appeared on Xia Jian's face.

One can only say that she truly lives up to her reputation as Mu Yan...

Thinking of this, Xia Jian's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly understood why Mu Yan had chosen to escape reality.

This is indeed hard to let go of...

Even he felt uncomfortable, let alone Mu Yan and Mu Shuang.

If it were me, I would most likely be like Mu Shuang, or even become more obsessive and insane.

The door opened, and Leia walked out with a joyful expression. But just as she was about to express her happiness, she noticed that Xia Jian's expression was a little off.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Xia Jian snapped out of her reverie, smiled, and patted Leia's head: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to celebrate for you."

"How about I cook a big meal for my senior sister?"

At this moment, Westin clapped his hands, smiled, and stepped forward, saying...

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian's lips twitched slightly.

You really don't learn your lesson easily. Have you forgotten how Mu Shuang pinned you to the ground after you said that last time...?

However, Westin also benefited from this misfortune, as his path to becoming a bloodline wizard made his age irrelevant.

Although we don't know what Westin's bloodline is, judging from Westin's rate of improvement, it is probably at least a third-tier bloodline.

A third-tier wizard is no longer a question of strength; they would receive considerable treatment anywhere.

Of course, you have to grow to that level first.

Leia tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll give you a chance to show off."

"Then I'll go and get ready."

Having the rare opportunity to show off his skills, Westin was exceptionally excited and hurriedly left the basement.

After Westin left, looking at the excited Leia, Natsumi knew he should leave as well.

After all, he came back to take Leia away, so there was no point in staying here any longer, as the resources here were scarce and not suitable for wizards to cultivate.

If you stay here, even the greatest talent will eventually be wasted.

…………

After staying in Chelan City for a few days, Xia Jian bid farewell to Phyllis and the others, and once again embarked on the road to the Southern Alliance Domain with Leia.

This time, however, there is no path to the Sea of ​​Death in the summer.

Summer learned from Herammons that there were two routes to the Southern Alliance.

The Sea of ​​Death was abandoned by the forces of the Southern Alliance Domain long ago because of the large number of strange beasts and the fact that the geographical environment made it easy for people to get lost.

The other route is to go right from Murray Mountain City. Xia Jian didn't meet Xi Beier before, most likely because Xi Beier took the other route.

Otherwise, given Shibel's strength at the time, she would most likely have perished there if she had gone through the Sea of ​​Death.

…………

Now that Leia has reached the level of a formal wizard, the three of them traveled at full speed and in just half a month they passed through Murray City and arrived at their destination, Vidara City.

Compared to the dilapidated villages on the edge of the Sea of ​​Death, Vidara City is lush and vibrant, with bustling streets teeming with people.

Because of the rumors about wizards, there are many adventurers in Vidara City, including many young people who dream of becoming wizards.

After leaving Leia and Westin at a hotel, Xia Jian turned into a shadow and headed north of the city.

…………

In a manor in the north of the city, the interior is luxuriously decorated and has a large number of servants.

At this moment, in the study, an old man with slightly white hair was enjoying the service of a group of maids.

Suddenly, a voice that seemed to have no origin was heard in the old man's ear.

The old man's expression changed, and he quickly dressed and chased the maid out of the study.

"What brings the esteemed wizard here?"

The old man looked around nervously, then bowed and asked.

At the edge of the study window, a dark shadow slowly crept in, and then Natsumi emerged from the corner.

"Are you the only apprentice guarding this place?"

Xia Jian glanced at the old man and asked casually.

This place is where wizard seeds like Hibernate meet, and wizard apprentices are usually stationed here.

After all, formal wizards are very busy, and no one would do such a chore. Only wizard apprentices who have no hope of promotion would be willing to stay here.

"I inform you, sir, that there is another one, but he does not live here. I can call him if needed."

The old man only glanced at Xia Jian before hurriedly lowering his head.

Such a young wizard must be a disciple of some powerful force, so why didn't he receive any notification?

Moreover, the delivery of wizard seeds only happens once every 5 to 10 years, and at the shortest time, it happens once every three years. Didn't a batch just go there a year ago? Why are there still official wizards coming over?

"unnecessary."

Xia Jian shook his head slightly, then asked another question.

"The last time you registered, wasn't it you? Did a blonde, blue-eyed noblewoman with freckles come here?"

Hiber wanted to go to the Wizarding Lands, which was the only way out except for the Land of Death.

If we can't find any news about Shiber here, then I'm afraid...
