Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Xia Jian arrived at the door and opened it.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Gene's mentor at the door.

At this moment, Tina was wrapped in a bath towel, her hair was wet, and she looked like she had just taken a shower.

The difference was that Tinas's eyes were lifeless, and her face was as pale as paper, making her look like a water ghost that had just crawled out of the river.

Suddenly, Tinas threw herself into Natsumi's arms.

"It's gone, there's nothing left, why did this happen..."

Tinas burst into tears, her tears soaking Xia Jian's clothes.

Just from that heart-wrenching cry, Xia Jian could feel the despair and grievance in Tina's heart.

Xia Jian didn't know what had happened, so he could only gently pat Tina's back, hoping that this would make Tina feel better.

For Natsumi, killing has become incredibly easy.

But people can be so strange sometimes. This time, Natsumi didn't treat Tinas the way she had before; instead, she treated her like an old friend.

Ultimately, the two weren't enemies. If he hadn't been keeping an eye on them before, their relationship might have been more like that of strangers.

Of course, one thing at a time, but if I don't want to look, I might as well. Anyway, I'll be leaving sooner or later, so who cares about anything else?

If he hadn't looked, he might still be locked out right now.

Seeing that some apprentices were attracted by the crying, Xia Jian carried Tina into the house and closed the door behind him.

Just as I put Tina on the sofa, the towel on her body fell off by itself.

As a gentleman, Xia Jian merely glanced at it as a way of repaying Tinas for his comfort, then got up to leave.

But then Tina wrapped her arms around Xia Jian's neck, her eyes brimming with tears, looking incredibly pitiful...

(One hundred million words omitted here...)

……

The next day, afternoon.

Xia Jian, who had just woken up, stretched and looked at Tina, who was standing next to him with her back to him.

Xia Jian rubbed her dark circles and couldn't help but think of the inexplicable events that happened last night.

Actually, it wasn't his fault. He had tried to leave several times, but Tina wouldn't let him go, insisting that it was her first time.

As a devout seeker of truth, with an attitude of verification and exploration, I can only adopt a bold hypothesis and careful verification approach, analyzing from multiple angles to find Tinas's flaws.

After all, his eyes are like a ruler; could he not tell the difference the first time?

He knew from their very first meeting that Tinas was no good.

Unfortunately, Xia Jian made a mistake this time, and the price was heavy. As a result, he didn't sleep well for a whole night and morning, and he still feels like he's about to collapse.

Furthermore, Natsume also knew why Tinas was crying.

This second-generation's advancement potion is gone!

Just yesterday, a message came from Tinas's family saying that the advancement potion had been given to Tinas's cousin.

Now that the medicine garden in Yinmo Valley has been stolen and the family's advancement potion has been given to someone else, you can tell how miserable it is just by looking at that unlucky guy Gene.

For those who embark on the path of wizardry, this is undoubtedly the sky falling, and the kind that will crush them to death.

Because it's unknown when Yinmo Valley will have advancement potions, and even if they do, there's no guarantee that one will be able to obtain them.

As one gets older, the chances of getting the promotion potion decrease, creating a vicious cycle from which one cannot escape.

When Natsumi heard the news, he almost burst out laughing, but luckily Tinas had her back to him and wasn't noticed.

I thought I was the only one who was unlucky, but it turns out that Tina was even more unlucky than me. It seems that the competition between the second generation is quite fierce.

At least Xia Jian didn't have the experience of giving potions to others; in fact, Gene had to bear those burdens alone. Obtaining the "Dark Demon Soul" was already a significant gain for Xia Jian.

However, he was even more greedy. He wanted to get the advancement potion for free after taking the spell. Otherwise, he would have left this wretched place where he couldn't move around freely long ago!

…………

……

"Don't forget to ask at the exchange counter later if they have Herta lizard legs."

As Xia Jian dressed, he spoke to Tina, who was resting with her back turned.

"Hmm," Tinas responded with a soft hum.

Seeing that Tina had heard him, Natsumi left the room and returned to the basement.

Although I haven't gotten the Herta lizard leg yet, I still need to process the remaining materials. I might as well make some potions to improve my skills.

After all, he only had one Namo Illusion Flower, which was only enough to refine the Enlightenment Pill twice.

If he fails, his only option is to risk betraying Gene's mentor.

This is a major decision for Xia Jian, and it could very well endanger his life, so he must be careful!

Of course, Xia Jian could also choose to play it safe, join a faction, or hope that her future teacher would be kinder.

But after seeing the miserable state of Tinas and Gene, Natsumi felt that instead of hoping for charity from others, he should take the initiative and fight for it!

Winning brings joy to everyone, while losing could mean losing your head.

But life isn't always smooth sailing, so Xia Jian didn't actually have many choices.

If that time really comes, just like those apprentices from various forces who are fighting outside, Xia Jian will also choose to fight for a bright future for himself!

…………

evening.

basement.

Tinas stood at the top of the stairs, staring in disbelief at Xia Jian as he effortlessly concocted the elixir.

After Xia Jian finished making a whole bottle of pills, Tinas limped forward.

"You really know how to refine pills?"

Tina asked with an incredulous look.

"Didn't I tell you I can make pills?"

Xia Jian held the medicine bottle and used telekinesis to sweep the medicinal residue into the nearly full trash can.

On the coffee table opposite Xia Jian, there was a whole table of bottles of pills, all of which were Xia Jian's achievements.

From second-generation knight pills to second-generation wizard pills, and even knight healing formulas sold on the market.

"But……"

Tina hesitated, feeling somewhat unfamiliar with Xia Jian in front of her.

Was the person in front of her really that alchemy idiot who only knew how to cultivate? Why was he suddenly able to refine so many pills? This was contrary to her understanding of Gene.

"It's not a big deal, take as much as you like."

Xia Jian smiled, but one thought remained unspoken: 'If I don't take it this time, I probably won't have another chance.'

Regardless of whether the Enlightenment Pill was successfully refined or whether he obtained the Herta Lizard Leg, he would leave this place as soon as possible.

If successful, he might sabotage Gene's mentor before leaving; if unsuccessful, he might choose to directly sabotage Gene's mentor.

"Where are the things?"

Seeing Tinas's dazed expression, Xia Jian asked about the Herta lizard leg.

Upon hearing Xia Jian's voice, Tinas snapped out of her daze and took out a half-meter-long lizard leg with black and white stripes from her spatial bag.

"What do you need the Herta lizard leg for?"

Tinas placed the lizard leg on the table and asked in confusion.
