Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

The group entered the room, and Leia sat down and began drinking water voraciously, showing no ladylike demeanor whatsoever.

The others weren't much better off; they all looked exhausted, as if they hadn't slept for days.

Xia Jian's eyes swept over the group, finally settling on Westin's face.

"So, has the site been found yet?"

Just half a month ago, Xia Jian and the others heard a rumor in a nearby city that there was a ruin near this town where a special soul-type extinct herb grew.

In order to repair the damage to his soul, Xia Jian stayed in this small town in order to find that herb.

Six days have passed, but the remains have still not been found.

If there is still no news, then Xia Jian will have no choice but to leave and place his hopes on the Holy Land of Chongguang.

"no."

Westin shook his head.

The nearby hills have been searched thoroughly, but there's not a single relic, not even something that looks man-made. The veracity of this news is highly questionable.

"Moreover, more and more wizards are coming to the town, including not only first-tier wizards, but also several who appear to be second-tier wizards."

Leia pouted and muttered something.

Hearing this, Xia Jian sighed.

Since they couldn't find it, they had no choice but to leave.

After all, staying here all the time isn't a solution. The meditation method Leia practiced was obtained by herself in the Linya Ruins, and its quality is nowhere near that of the 'Demon Fear' meditation method.

If they can't be replaced early, Leia's foundation will inevitably fall short of those of the chosen ones.

"Do you think it's possible that the ruins aren't in the mountains?"

At this moment, Le Fan suddenly spoke up.

"you mean……"

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow slightly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

They were told it was in this small town, but there was no specific location; most people were just trying their luck.

The area outside has been thoroughly searched, but the location of the ruins has not been found.

Either the ruins don't exist, or they haven't found the right location.

"In that case, let's split up and dig around after we finish eating. If we haven't found anything by tomorrow morning, then we'll leave this place."

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Jian looked around at everyone and spoke.

The town they lived in wasn't large, but it had a population of nearly 50,000.

If the ruins are below, their size is sufficient, considering that a normal force typically has only a few thousand members.

Moreover, there are many intelligent people among wizards. Since they have thought of this, it is possible that some wizards have already begun to take action.

…………

After lunch, Xia Jian and Westin went out to dig separately, while Leia stayed behind with Le Fan and his sister.

Summer rented a house near the center of town and then began digging.

Wizards have many ways to dig, but Xia Jian uses telekinesis to dig downwards and then uses a spatial bag to hold the soil.

They dug for nearly an hour, reaching at least two kilometers, but found no trace of any remains.

"Could it be a mistake, or is it really just a rumor?"

Xia Jian looked at the soil beneath his feet and muttered to himself.

Just as Xia Jian was about to continue digging, he suddenly sensed someone coming from above.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Westin's voice came from above the pit.

Upon hearing Westin's voice, Natsumi assumed that something had been discovered, and immediately transformed into a black shadow and returned to the room.

"How's it going? Did you find something?"

Seeing Westin's anxious expression, Xia Jian quickly asked.

"No, Le Fan just came to see me and said that someone has opened a tunnel leading to the ruins in the south of the city."

Westin knew they couldn't delay, so he pulled Natsumi along as they walked and talked.

But Xia Jian stopped upon hearing this and fell into deep thought.

After a moment's thought, Xia Jian looked at Westin and said, "I'll go by myself this time. You and Leia take Le Fan and his sister away from here and wait for me near Lake Meilin, about ten miles away."

Now that an entrance has been discovered in the town, it proves that this place is no longer safe.

If a fight really breaks out, I might not be able to protect Le Fan and his sister, and having my family with me would also make it harder for me to escape.

"Teacher, how about we let the senior student take them away, and I'll go with..."

Westin was interrupted by Natsumi before he could finish speaking.

"Your presence will hinder my performance. Just do as I say, and make sure to protect Leia."

Xia Jian shook his head and looked at Westin with a serious expression.

It shouldn't be a problem for two first-tier wizards to leave the town. After all, the wizards in the town should all be watching this place now, and they won't waste time stopping two formal wizards from leaving.

"Yes, teacher."

Knowing he couldn't go against Xia Jian's wishes, Westin had no choice but to compromise.

The situation was urgent, so the two immediately parted ways. Xia Jian transformed into a black shadow and quickly fled towards the location Westin had indicated.

…………

When Xia Jian arrived at his destination, there were already more than twenty first-tier wizards, four second-tier wizards, and one wizard whose cultivation level was unknown but who was suspected to be third-tier.

With the arrival of summer, the wizards in the arena immediately became vigilant.

"Didn't they say they found the ruins? Why aren't you going in?"

Xia Jian emerged from the shadows, looking at the group of wizards with some confusion.

"Little one, we're certainly discussing the distribution rights."

A hunched old man, completely wrapped in a black robe, said with a sinister smile.

Without any warning, Xia Jian raised his hand and threw several Shadow Balls at the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man seemed to have not expected Xia Jian's sudden attack. He could only hastily summon a shield to block in front of him, but was blasted into the house next door by one of the shadow balls.

"You damn brat, you're asking for it!"

The angry roar of the hunchbacked old man echoed from the ruins.

Immediately afterward, the soil beneath Xia Jian's feet churned, and then countless vines burst forth from the ground, attacking Xia Jian.

Xia Jian's body was enveloped by a dark shadow as he quickly retreated.

Seeing the relentlessly pursuing vines, a green light flashed in Xia Jian's spatial pouch at his waist.

As Xia Jian pointed his sword finger at the vines, the green light seemed to be drawn to it, and in a flash, it sliced ​​all the vines into pieces.

But then the broken vines gathered together, forming a five-meter-tall, burly wooden giant.

The wooden giant punched Xia Jian.

Xia Jian remained unmoved, and a mist gushed out from his body, followed by a black phantom that enveloped him.

The humanoid phantom simply raised its hand and blocked the wooden giant's attack.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xia Jian snapped his fingers, and dozens of black crows appeared out of thin air, flying towards the wooden giant and the hunchbacked old man behind him.

Bang bang bang...

A series of explosions rang out in the area.
