Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Summer returned to Gene's house and then began to gather mana.

Now that the advancement potion has malfunctioned, although it's still uncertain whether to take the risk, it's always good to improve one's strength.

Unfortunately, I've been busy improving my mental cultivation lately. Otherwise, if I could raise my knight level to the Grand Knight level, I might even be able to fight a first-tier wizard.

To be frank, I still don't really understand wizards. In all this time, I've only mastered two spells, and my knowledge of wizards is scattered and fragmented, all of which I acquired through my side hustle.

Calling someone a Muggle is an understatement; they're practically no different from a magic idiot.

Just as Xia Jian was cultivating, the identity token in his arms suddenly vibrated.

Before Xia Jian could even wonder what had happened, a figure appeared in front of the door.

Xia Jian immediately became wary. Could it be that someone had discovered his identity?

"Brother Gene, are you there?"

At that moment, a female voice sounded from outside the door; the voice seemed to be that of yesterday's "friendly" neighbor.

"Is this girl acting strangely?"

Xia Jian was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he went to the door and opened it.

If I'm not mistaken, it really is my "friendly" neighbor.

Unlike before, she was all smiles now, looking shy and adorable, like a girl next door.

"Is there something you need?"

Ignoring the woman's clownish expression, Xia Jian asked expressionlessly.

"Brother Gene, it's not a big deal. We've taken on a mission that will give us a lot of points. You're short on points, so we wanted to invite you to come along."

The woman tried to grab Xia Jian's arm in a coquettish manner, but Xia Jian stepped back and dodged her.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Xia Jian's eyes.

If he hadn't met Mentor Gene, he might have actually believed the nonsense about exchanging points for promotion potions.

But now...

"roll!"

Xia Jian replied with a single word and then closed the door.

Given how rude they were yesterday, it's obvious they weren't up to anything good; it's probably just another old story about using someone as bait.

"Damn it, I..."

A woman's cursing voice came from outside the door.

Xia Jian ignored the other party, prioritizing stability and avoiding giving anything away to prevent being discovered as an infiltrator.

But just as he stepped into the living room to begin his cultivation, Xia Jian suddenly stopped.

Xia Jian stroked his chin, a playful glint in his eyes: "Could we make use of this girl?"

He currently lacks many things; besides various powerful spells, what he lacks most is knowledge about wizardry.

Although I've taken a lot of people from me, the knowledge I've gained is incomplete, and it even makes me feel more and more confused the more I look at it.

Now that we've come to the Valley of Shadows, this might be a great opportunity to learn about wizardry.

However, because of the library incident, Xia Jian definitely couldn't go there; if he were caught, there was no way he could escape.

After all, not everyone is as easy to fool as the gatekeeper, and not everyone will give face to a top apprentice, especially in a military stronghold like the library.

Forget about attending classes; too many people and distractions don't suit him.

But if I could get this girl's help, I might be able to bypass the inspection process and get what I want.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian turned back and opened the door.

Hearing the door open, the woman who was cursing thought that Xia Jian had changed his mind, so she immediately put on a shy face and spoke in a coquettish voice.

"Brother Gene, have you figured it out? We can go on missions anytime."

After the woman finished speaking, she didn't forget to wink at Xia Jian.

The thought of the other party's pretentious attitude almost made Xia throw up her overnight dinner.

"I'm not going."

Xia Jian paused for a moment, then uttered two words.

"NM..."

The woman felt that Xi Juan had been tricked. She pointed at Xia Jian's nose and was about to curse his whole family when she saw Xia Jian suddenly take out a bottle of pills.

Seeing this, the woman looked puzzled, but then she remembered that Gene had pursued her before, and a different thought came to her mind.

"This compensation isn't enough to make me angry. If you obediently follow me on missions, I might give you a chance to pursue me."

The woman crossed her arms, glanced at Xia Jian sideways, and said with a self-satisfied air.

Xia Jian was speechless after hearing this. What was all this about?

Wizards, a synonym for rationality, can actually produce such narcissists; it seems that all kinds of groups can produce all sorts of oddballs.

"I just want to discuss a business deal with you. This is a drug to enhance your mental strength. Come back to me after you've tried it."

Xia Jian rolled his eyes, offered no further explanation, simply tossed the medicine bottle to the other person, then closed the door and went back inside.

The woman was left standing there, helplessly furious.

If it weren't for the fact that magic is forbidden in Yinmo Valley, she would have loved to unleash a devastating fireball on Xia Jian!

…………

Xia Jian didn't care at all; he believed the other party would definitely come back to beg him.

The other party's mental strength was clearly weaker than his, so theoretically, the first-generation meditation pills should be enough to seduce the other party.

As for whether the elixir will cause any bad things.

In reality, it won't.

His pills were only slightly better than those on the market, and there were actually quite a few that were better.

After all, the wisdom of wizards is beyond doubt, especially since the longer they live, the broader their knowledge becomes, and there will always be someone who can research something better.

Xia Jian was confident because the pill involved a factor: drug resistance!

No matter what type of elixir or rare herb, its effects will be greatly reduced if consumed in excess. This is one of the reasons why knights and wizards' progress becomes increasingly slow in the end.

The medicinal materials used in Xia Jian's own pills were not expensive, but precisely because of this, the wizards may not have tasted the raw materials used to make the pills, so the pills made from them would naturally exhibit different effects.

Therefore, this will not cause too many problems.

Moreover, human nature is selfish. The first thought of the other party after taking the pill is probably to keep it all for themselves, so there won't be any problems in the short term.

Once they've run away after a while, nobody cares about your nonsense. They'll just be following you around eating your dust.

…………

All Xia Jian had to do next was wait. Bored and idle, Xia Jian could only pass the time by cultivating.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of bad luck recently. I robbed so many wizard apprentices, and although I encountered both dark and blood magic apprentices, none of them dropped the spells I wanted.

Most of the apprentices' talents are based on the five elements, and Xia Jian has preserved quite a few of these types of spells.

Therefore, Xia Jian urgently needs to improve his strength and then change his target to those formal wizards with rich collections, so that he might be able to get some rare dark magic spells to use.
