Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

In the end, Xia Jian did not force Westin to join the Holy Land of Sovereignty.

For someone over fifty, who is already far behind others, the gap between them and others will only widen without a mentor.

For example, the mentor's unique resources and network of connections.

While it may seem that the wizard's training speed is being tested, in the end it still becomes a contest of various aspects.

After all, things are different now than before. Various resources have long been over-consumed, and the end result for a lone wild wizard is almost always to find a place to live in seclusion, and the final outcome is to die on the spot.

Actually, there's another reason: the black book from summer is still on Westin's person.

amount……

It should be considered his, right...?

Xia Jian was worried that Westin might cause trouble inside the Holy Land of Radiant Light since he hadn't joined it. After all, the Black Book concerned a god, and if something went wrong, people might think he had done it on purpose.

When facing a force with a seventh-tier wizard, it's best not to test their strength.

…………

After resting at the hotel, Xia Jian had Westin rent a small, independent courtyard in the city.

He will probably stay in Radiant City for the rest of the time, because he not only has a need for cultivation, but wizards also need experimental data to verify various kinds of knowledge.

Summer needs a good environment to immerse herself in cultivating and researching what she needs.

Of course, Xia Jian shamelessly persuaded Gongsun Weifu and the others to waive the temporary accommodation fee, since this was a huge expense for a second-tier wizard.

Besides, while it's safe here, the expenses are also ridiculously high.

You can't have your cake and eat it too; Xia Jian needs to find a long-term, sustainable business to survive here.

…………

A month and a half later.

In a basement filled with various experimental equipment.

Xia Jian looked at the incubation chamber in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

A flat, red fleshy creature floated inside the cultivation chamber.

Beneath the red flesh grows numerous tiny fleshy hairs, along with many small tentacles. The tips of the tentacles are covered with white spikes, and a large, round eye grows on its back.

After a month of work, Xia Jian finally recreated the original Flesh Slime.

Although they look different, this is a variety that has been improved in summer.

Compared to the fleshy slime of the past, the flat slime of today has a stronger parasitic ability.

Its white spikes emit paralyzing toxins, its fine flesh and hair beneath it have a powerful clinging effect, and its spellcasting ability is greatly enhanced.

The only unfortunate thing is that the energy storage problem has not yet been solved.

Xia Jian tried using magic stones or beast cores as substitutes, but without exception, they all caused inexplicable rejection reactions, forcing Xia Jian to change his strategy.

Furthermore, the properties of flat slime make it unsuitable for use as a medicine, as its genes can alter the structure of some herbal plants.

Mutations are often accompanied by uncertainty, which is a disaster for drugs that require stability.

Summer had conducted experiments on some animals, and although they briefly gained the power of the five elements, none of them survived.

After the experimental animals ingested the drug, their bodies would distort and change within one to two minutes.

It could be muscle expansion, bone growth, or even the body turning into a pile of rotten flesh—in any case, the outcome is always death.

However, there are also good aspects. Natsume made improvements to address the uncontrollable characteristics of flesh slimes.

Compared to turning it into a potion that alters one's talents, this is obviously easier for Xia Jian. At least he has already achieved initial control, and it should be able to put it into actual combat soon.

"Teacher, Wizard Isidore has come to invite you for tea again."

Just as Xia Jian was admiring his masterpiece, Westin's voice came from behind him, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing this name, Xia Jian couldn't help but frown slightly.

Like him, Isidore is a late-stage second-tier wizard.

Because of the incident at the City Lord's Mansion, and because Xia Jian stayed there for a while, he made a small appearance in the wizarding circle of Yaoguang City.

Therefore, many wizards approached Xia Jian under the pretense that wizards should help each other.

Xia Jian didn't know what those people's purpose was, but in general, they just wanted to find out his background and what his relationship was with the Chongguang Holy Land.

After all, the Holy Land of Chongguang is the boss here. Even if you can't join the Holy Land of Chongguang, just throwing something away from the Holy Land of Chongguang can make people outside fight tooth and nail for it.

Isidore was one of them, and also the most shameless one.

Others would say they would visit again next time when they saw that Natsumi stayed at home, but Isidor was different. He would come over to ask about things almost every now and then.

Even a very honest person like Westin was annoyed by Isidore.

What wizard doesn't have his own things to do and is always running around to other people's houses?

Xia Jian sighed softly, then called out to the laboratory door, "I understand. Tell him to wait upstairs."

Let alone Westin, even Natsume himself finds this guy annoying.

Ever since he met Isidore more than two weeks ago, this guy has come here almost every day.

Xia Jian wanted to ask, "You're already at the peak of the second tier, why aren't you at home working on advancing your tier? Why are you running around here all day?"

…………

After resealing the laboratory, Xia Jian changed her clothes and went to the living room on the first floor.

At this moment, Isidore was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his legs crossed.

Isidore looks to be in his thirties, with dark yellow hair and blue eyes, but his skin has an odd yellow hue.

According to Isidore, his skin suffered irreparable damage because of a mistake in an experiment.

Xia Jian sat on the sofa opposite, and Westin brought him a cup of tea.

"What brings you here? I'm very busy. If you have nothing to do, go wander around somewhere else."

Taking a sip of tea, Xia Jian looked at Isidore and said somewhat impatiently.

"Hey, what are you saying? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? I just came to look after you since you're new to the area."

Isidore smiled slightly and said in a roguish manner.

Seeing this, a look of helplessness appeared in Xia Jian's eyes.

"I just don't understand. Don't you have your own things to do? If you encounter a bottleneck, go find a high-level wizard. There's no use in you coming here."

The saying goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling at you." At least in Xia Jian's opinion, the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, otherwise he would have kicked the guy out long ago.

"We are all foreign wizards, and we should unite and visit each other more often, otherwise it will be difficult for us to survive in Radiant City."

Isidore still had a smile on his face, but Xia Jian didn't have time to continue playing games with him.
