Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

When Xia Jian learned about the cost, his jaw almost dropped.

Apprentices would fight tooth and nail for a single mid-grade magic stone, so a first-tier wizard with 400 mid-grade magic stones is definitely a rich person.

Second-tier wizards are even worse. The value of their equipment might exceed 700 mid-grade magic stones, but their cash would definitely not exceed 700!

For wizards, no matter how many magic stones they have, converting them into power is the most important thing.

Therefore, even if they have a lot of magic stones, most wizards will choose to use them rather than leave them to gather dust in the warehouse.

Back in the summer, I robbed two herb gardens, the total value of which did not exceed 15000 mid-grade magic stones.

After being robbed by Mu Shuang, Xia Jian now only has five thousand mid-grade magic stones in total, compared to just over a thousand he obtained in the Lin Ya Ruins.

Of course, one can also choose to stay temporarily or attach oneself to a local family organization.

A short stay costs ten low-grade magic stones per day, and cannot exceed one year; otherwise, the remaining magic stones will need to be paid.

Affiliation with a family requires certification from the Chongguang Holy Land, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can live here.

In contrast, ordinary people don't have so many problems. They can marry locals and obtain local residency, but a sham marriage could very likely result in the entire family being kicked out.

They also need to pay property tax, but it's calculated in ordinary currency and doesn't involve anything related to wizards.

For ordinary people, apart from being a little safer, it's actually similar to living in other places, and the life pressure is even greater.

…………

After paying 410 mid-grade magic stones, Xia Jian was completely dejected, like a wilted eggplant.

This is much faster than robbery!

It's absolutely shocking! A summer of a hundred million years!

I never imagined that even though I've become a second-tier wizard, I would still need to pay protection money to others.

If it were any other power, they would have already treated him like a Buddha by now, so how could they possibly let him spend money!

Dejected, Xia Jian and a few others settled down at a hotel in the city.

Because of his status as a wizard, his living conditions were also particular; he could not live with ordinary people, in order to avoid disturbing them.

but……

He's charging 10 low-grade magic stones a day!

And it's just one room!

I can't compete with those who work in real estate, no matter how hard I try.

Xia Jian regretted that he lacked the strength; otherwise, he would definitely have seized the opportunity first!

Of course, it would be best to take over the city; making money while lying down was his ultimate dream when he was young.

…………

Over the next month, Xia Jian often went for walks outside.

However, the secrecy surrounding the Chongguang Holy Land was stricter than imagined, and almost no one in the city talked about it.

Or rather, being new to the area, Xia Jian couldn't get close to that circle at all.

Moreover, wizards are very wary and almost never easily come into contact with wizards they don't know, let alone outsiders like Xia Jian.

This left Xia Jian feeling quite helpless.

After all, this can't go on forever.

Ultimately, I am only one person, and my teaching skills are somewhat lacking. I can't expect everyone to specialize in biology.

However, his own energy is limited, so it is impossible for him to develop in all aspects.

Now, Le Ning and Le Fan have reached the late stage of their apprenticeship. Xia Jian knows nothing about the Water and Wood elements, let alone the advancement potions needed for advancement.

With all the expenses so high that they make your scalp tingle in the summer, this place is not the paradise you imagined at all; it's practically hell for the poor.

The only good thing that happened recently was the creation of a new sword skill.

Flowing Light Sword Waterfall is a spell created based on basic swordsmanship, archery, telekinesis, and Floating Nightingale magic.

It can condense a large amount of sword light to attack enemies, suppressing them from all directions, and its power has reached the level of the second-tier limit.

In addition, Xia Jian pushed a large number of spells to their peak.

At least in the second tier, it's difficult to defeat him, and even more difficult to keep him alive.

His Shadow Cloak technique is so refined that even a third-tier wizard would have a hard time keeping up with him if he activated the Soul Absorption Forbidden Technique.

…………

The next day, in the morning.

Xia Jian brought the dead Lai Ya to the city lord's mansion.

Although he couldn't find out anything about Shibel, the Holy Land of Radiance had a good reputation in this area, so Xia Jian decided not to wait any longer.

Compared to Mu Shuang's isolated case, Xia Jian still believes that there are good people in this world.

Moreover, a powerful force like the Holy Land of Glory would probably not have grown to its current size if it were unreasonable.

The city lord's mansion is magnificent and located in the center of Yaoguang City.

The location of the Chongguang Holy Land is unknown; at least Xia Jian couldn't find its exact location. To enter the Chongguang Holy Land, one must use the teleportation array of the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the city lord's mansion, Xia Jian and his companions were stopped and led to the main hall, which was reserved for wizards.

The hall was resplendent in gold, with a ceiling made of precious crystal materials and paintings on the walls that looked like real scenes.

There were many people in the hall, most of whom were apprentices, and the rest were at least level one.

Xia Jian sensed the mental fluctuations of a third-tier wizard among them, and even a few wizards whose auras were obscure and unclear.

Most of the wizard apprentices wanted to join the Holy Land of Radiance, but most of them looked dejected, which showed that the Holy Land of Radiance had very strict requirements for accepting apprentices.

"teacher."

Seemingly feeling a little uncomfortable, Leia unconsciously grabbed Xia Jian's clothes.

"Don't be afraid, it's not some place that eats people."

Xia Jian affectionately patted Leia's head and comforted her with a smile.

Le Ning and the other two weren't much better off, sticking close to Xia Jian as if they were afraid of getting lost.

Ultimately, it's because I'm too thin-skinned. If I were as thick-skinned as Natsumi, I wouldn't be so nervous.

Of course, strength is the key to everything.

Although Westin appeared calm on the surface, he was actually panicking inside.

After all, he used to be a nobody at Damons Academy, and he hadn't even seen all of the school's teachers, let alone a place where first-tier wizards were everywhere.
