Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Xia Jian smiled as he looked at the silver-haired man's expression.

You can't get this many magic stones by robbing apprentices, but don't forget that he got a lot of magic stones in the Sea of ​​Death.

The ratio of magic stones is 1 to 100. In fact, Xia Jian did not know the value of magic stones before, and even thought about robbing to get rich and use the money to buy alchemy tools.

Until a few days ago, Xia Jian robbed a silly wizard apprentice of a mid-grade magic stone.

He had already let the kid go, but the kid was still clinging to his leg, crying and begging him to leave the magic stone behind. That's when he learned that magic stones were divided into different grades.

Back in the insect hive, Natsumi only noticed that the lighting was brighter, nothing more.

Although almost all the magic stones were stolen by the giant fish, he needed them for lighting, so he carried some with him since he found it troublesome.

Moreover, the items taken from the insect hive were all mid-grade magic stones, so I still have a few on me, and with the money from the robbery, it's enough to buy a spatial bag.

…………

Seeing that Xia Jian actually took out a mid-grade magic stone, the silver-haired man immediately put on a professional, obsequious smile: "Please wait a moment, I will get you a space bag right away."

There's no way around it; there's a commission for selling things.

Even if the family wizards are not in dire financial straits, spending money is one of the shortcuts to becoming stronger.

For example, you have to spend money to buy things like spirit potions, various magical artifacts and props, and even spellbooks.

Upon seeing this, Xia Jian sighed inwardly, "As expected, money talks!"

Pity……

He had originally planned to give some gifts to get closer to his future teacher, since social etiquette is something that never goes out of style.

It seems we'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Space-type equipment is really convenient, much better than carrying around big bags every day, which is practically inviting others to rob you if they see you like that.

Xia Jian had already suffered such losses many times along the way.

amount……

It doesn't seem like I've really lost out, since I'm coming back anyway.

And in the end, there will be extra resources, but that's compensation given to him voluntarily by others.

Thinking about it, Xia Jian actually quite likes it; these days, you don't see many people delivering packages.

Not long after, the silver-haired man returned with a spatial bag containing the materials and alchemy tools Xia Jian needed.

The space bag is only one square meter, but that's enough for Xia Jian.

With the silver-haired man's warm welcome, Natsumi left the auction house after giving a pseudonym.

This departure is uncertain; we may never meet again, or even return here in the future. Therefore, this acquaintance is not a good thing for Natsumi.

…………

After leaving the auction house, Xia Jian returned to the inn.

Taking out the alchemy tools and herbs, Xia Jian began refining the second-generation meditation pill.

Although alchemy and crafting knight ammunition are different, Xia Jian had a foundation in alchemy, so he picked it up very quickly.

Especially after successfully making it once using the wizard's method, the medicine-making skill was transformed into the alchemy skill, and Xia Jian was given new knowledge about medicine-making.

[Name: Xia Jian]

[Talents: +1, Advanced Cultivation Talent, Advanced Mental Strength Talent, Superior Dark Element Talent]

[Rank: High Knight (Beginner) Wizard Apprentice (Master)]

[Attribute: 53 (far, far, far beyond the average person)]

[Mental Strength: 8.1 (Slightly stronger than the average person)]

[Mana: 6.5]

[Techniques: ...Storm Battle Technique (3+1) Witchcraft Meditation Technique (8+1)]

[技能：霍尔德语（2+1）炼药（3+1）射矢术（9+1）念动术（1+1）基础剑术（17+1）基础身法（10+1）基础拳法（5+1）断门斩（8+1）雷虎拳（4+1）……]

This was beyond Xia Jian's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that this medicine-making skill could be upgraded and stacked.

Although the level appears to have decreased, the upper limit of the alchemy skill has actually increased.

With the help of the '+1' talent, Xia Jian's success rate in alchemy increased dramatically, and he completed the required amount of potion in just three days.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xia Jian won't need to worry about meditation practice until he reaches Nilbella.

It took less time than expected, and Xia Jian also managed to refine some seventh-generation "Body Tempering Pills".

A strong physique is indispensable, especially when offensive techniques are lacking, as it allows Xia Jian more room to maneuver in battle.

It's just that dark magic is too hard to find.

Having robbed so many wizard apprentices, and not even seeing any similar shadow or blood magic spells, it's clear that there are far fewer wizards with dark aptitude than one might have imagined.

Xia Jian now only hopes that the Bone-Dissolving Cave has dark magic, so that he might be able to borrow some for use in secret.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, he might become the first person to become a wizard using a sword.

Although Xia Jian has a special fondness for swordsmanship, as a wizard, he only knows one attack spell and one support spell, which is a bit beneath him. People usually call him a wild wizard.

But Xia Jian is different from wild wizards. Wild wizards are usually of low aptitude, lack resources and connections, and only become wizards by chance.

He, on the other hand, is rich and resourceful, exceptionally talented, and, most importantly, handsome. There is a fundamental difference between the two.

…………

After completing the potion, Xia Jian disguised himself and left Nanzhou Peak.

Although Xia Jian didn't feel that the Borg family was the kind of force that would double-cross others, it was always better to be cautious, especially since he had offended quite a few people recently.

They traveled north along Nanzhou Peak, traveling during the day and cultivating at night during the summer.

To avoid trouble, Xia Jian rarely goes into the city. When she gets hungry, she just hunts some wild game to eat, and at most she buys some clothes and other things for emergencies.

The wizarding world is vast, which is something Xia Jian has always complained about.

Even a short journey takes months to complete. If it were an ordinary wizard apprentice, it would probably take about half a year to reach Neilbella.

…………

A month and a half later.

In the midst of the rugged, rocky mountains, Xia Jian, covered in wounds, was surrounded by a group of wizard apprentices.

"You can't escape. Hand over the medicinal herbs from Yinmo Valley, and we might make an exception and let you join the Arctic Sirius Palace."

The leading wizard apprentice stepped forward and said warily.

The others were the same, extremely wary of Xia Jian, as if afraid that he might suddenly attack them.

Because of Xia Jian's mysterious origins, he traveled all the way from the south to the north in just half a month, even alarming the wizards stationed nearby.

Some time ago, they went even further, using a scheme to trick the guard wizard of a medicinal field, slaughtering everyone inside and stealing all the usable medicinal herbs.

Unfortunately, Xia Jian is very cunning, and last time he even escaped from the wizard's clutches.

"Let's make a deal. We'll split it in half when we meet. I'll give you half of the herbs, and you can let me go, okay?"

Xia Jian took out a handful of herbs from his spatial bag, waved them in front of the apprentices, and said with a helpless expression.
