Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

After closing the door and returning inside, Xia Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking about his performance just now, he silently gave himself a big thumbs up.

"witty!"

Although having someone act as a maid seems absurd, upon closer inspection, this method is more feasible and less likely to arouse suspicion.

After all, he is now a typical example of a "petty person who has achieved success," and it seems that he has found a great opportunity and is now letting himself go.

Moreover, it's normal for young people to have this kind of hobby; they all want to experience what it's like to be a father, and being 'obedient' is the most important thing, so things just fall into place naturally.

Even if it's a seemingly useless basic book, when it comes to something a little more advanced, the other person won't suspect that there's anything wrong with their identity; they'll just think that they're making things difficult for her.

"Sigh, being too smart isn't good either; you don't feel any sense of accomplishment."

Xia Jian smoothed her hair and felt good about herself.

It's amazing that Natsumi can get what she wants without leaving home!

It can only be said that the competition in the industry is too intense now, and it has even spread to schools. Life is really getting more and more hopeful.

…………

……

In the days that followed, the "friendly" neighbor "willingly" became Xia Jian's maid in order to obtain the elixir.

She cooks, washes clothes, and cleans the room for Xia Jian every day, dutifully fulfilling her role.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Jian kept asking the other party for all kinds of books about wizards, even just travelogues.

With his incredibly resilient spirit, Xia Zhi began to absorb all sorts of knowledge continuously.

Unfortunately, the maids cannot bring out higher-level books from the library; anyone who wants to view them needs points and must be present in person.

Xia Jian felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He had considered asking the maid directly, but that would easily expose his identity, and if she gave him fake wizarding knowledge, it could easily cause big trouble in practice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xia Jian had no choice but to abandon the idea.

At least not knowing you don't have to is a thousand times better than doing something bad.

…………

……

half a month later.

Summer is leisurely lying on the sofa reading a book, while her 'friendly' neighbor, dressed in a maid outfit, is cleaning next to her.

Since their last meeting, Gene's mentor has vanished without a trace, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

"Tinas, pour me a cup of tea."

Xia Jian covered his face with the book and lazily spoke to the maid who was cleaning.

At this moment, Xia Jian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Gene was such an unreliable mentor.

His magical power had reached its limit, and he was just one step away from joining the ranks of formal wizards, but this guy just went missing.

Not only was he stood up, but he already had his own plan, just waiting for Mentor Gene to take the bait.

Now that his mentor Gene has disappeared, it's one thing for him to have no outlet for his energy, but the key issue is that he might lose a huge amount of resources!

"Master, your tea."

Tinas sat down next to Natsume and thoughtfully handed him a glass of water.

Xia Jian slowly sat up, took a sip of tea, and suddenly asked, "Do you know anything about advancement potions?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Tinas's eyes.

"Heh, you think you're worthy of being a wizard?"

Everyone knows the truth about Gene's situation.

What appears to be a problem of the theft from the herb garden is actually a fact that Gene's mentor never intended for him to become a wizard.

The bottle of advancement potion that Gene had been waiting for was not given to someone on a whim by his mentor Gene; it was something that had been planned in advance.

Because the grandson of a second-tier wizard lived nearby, the bottle of advancement potion was actually taken by Gene's mentor to do a favor.

But this fool actually believed it and went on a quest for points.

Thinking about her recent experiences, Tina couldn't help but purse her lips: 'You'll work yourself to death sooner or later, you bastard!'

"I don't know much about it. According to the book, the promotion potion was not originally like this. It was because of the changes in the times that many herbs became extinct, and then it evolved into the promotion potion we know today."

Tina tilted her head, recalling the books she had once seen.

However, there are very few records about the advancement potion, and the higher-ups of each faction do not want their apprentices to obtain any clues from it.

"Have you ever heard of anyone who knows the recipe for the advancement potion?"

Summer's eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Tina and asked.

If we could find out who made the advancement potion, maybe we could think of a way to help.

Whether you cleverly obtain the recipe or ask someone to play for you, at least you have something to look forward to, so you don't end up anxiously like a headless fly.

"The recipes are all in the hands of the higher-ups in Yinmo Valley; they're simply not something people like us can access."

Tinas lowered her head and sighed, a hint of resentment appearing in her eyes.

This time it's not just because of Gene, but also because of her own lament.

For her, reaching the pinnacle of her apprenticeship was inevitable.

Even so, so what? We still have to fight tooth and nail for promotion opportunities.

If those higher-ups hadn't been unwilling to reveal the formula, I wouldn't have had to become a slave for a mere cultivation pill.

"Why don't you tell me about the rumors surrounding the advancement potion?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian covered his head with a book and lay back down dejectedly.

These days, getting promoted is really difficult; it's definitely a headache.

Because if you can't get the advancement potion here, you might not be able to get it even if you go to Neilbella.

Even if the other party has the advancement potion, given how precious it is, obtaining it would be no easy task.

"It is said that the previous formula required a substance called Namo... Namo..."

Tinas tried hard to remember, and finally remembered: "That's right, it's a precious plant called the Namo Illusion Flower."

"But this herb went extinct a thousand years ago. In the end, the wizard spent countless efforts to deduce what it is today..."

Just as Tina was talking non-stop, Natsumi, whose face was covered by a book, suddenly widened her eyes.

should……

Could it be such a coincidence...?

But upon closer reflection, I realized that I had only seen this plant in travelogues in a tin box during the summer, and the medicinal herb books I had recently read did not contain any records of it.

Xia Jian's hands trembled slightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tina, who was sitting to the side, gave Natsumi a strange look.

"Why are you shaking? Are you sick?"

With that in mind, Tinas moved forward a little and sat down at the very edge of the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian tried her best to control herself: "Calm down, calm down!"

"Do you know what the previous promotion potion was called?"

Xia Jian forced himself to calm down, and then slowly asked.
