My health recovery is incredibly fast.

After passing the assessment, he sent a secret message to the bald man, inquiring about the exact date of his further studies.

Since Silvermoon City and Poseidon City are too far apart, no reply has been received yet.

Seeing that the cipher text on the secret message ring had not changed, Xia Zuo thought to himself:

“I estimate that once I enter the temple, I might not be able to return before the end of my studies. I’ll go and discuss it with Master Rexor first, and then I’ll tell you once the itinerary is finalized.”

"Hmm~ Okay then." Anru walked into the shower room, water droplets sliding off her smooth skin. "I'll take a shower first, then go find Janice. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy some groceries."

Xia Zuo rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, "Let's have seafood soup, just like we do at the academy."

“Okay~” Anru’er chuckled softly.

The "bloodline connection" linked by "bloodline imprint" can only transmit bloodline information and location.

As a member of the Blood Clan, Xia Zuo cannot see the surrounding environment of his blood relatives, nor can he observe the surroundings from the perspective of his blood relatives.

But it's not hard to imagine the steamy scene in the shower...

Around 7 p.m. that evening, the sun sank below the horizon, and the magnificent sunset in the sky was replaced by the pitch-black night.

Xia Zuo used his Windwalk spell to travel from the airport and appeared at his doorstep in the St. York community.

The neighbors knew that a neighbor with the ability to travel by wind lived here.

Under the cloud-like form, it is usually impossible to detect the caster.

Therefore, many people are worried that Xia Zuo will use the Wind Walk technique to do unjust things.

Later, they learned from the community police that Xia Zuo had a very high citizenship level and worked in the action team of the Category 3 Disaster Emergency Response Department, making him a trustworthy guardian of the city.

Xia Zuo cast the Windwalk spell directly in the community's public area, so it did not cause any concern among his neighbors.

At this moment, his sudden appearance at the doorstep only attracted the attention of the sheepdogs in the nearby kennel; no one paid much attention to Xia Zuo.

As I opened the door, the aroma of seafood soup wafted out.

Xia Zuo hugged An Ru'er from behind as she was simmering soup. "I'm back."

"Hmm~ Let's rest for a bit, then we can have dinner." Anru'er used her Wind Hand to pick up the spatula and flip the pork chop in the frying pan.

Xia Zuo went up to the second floor, took a shower to wash away the dust and fatigue, and while drying his hair, he heard a noise coming from his alchemy pouch.

Rexor's cipher ring made a slight clicking sound.

In the secret message, the bald man mentioned that the matter of entering the Mage Temple for further study needed to be discussed between Xia Zuo and Sylvia.

It turns out they had the wrong person; the person in charge of the training was not Rexor.

As Lady Starry Night's messenger, Sylvia met with Shazo twice.

One instance was at Starry Night Academy, when they were being tested by the inspection team, and Sylvia served as the host.

Another time, after arriving in the Eastern Continent from the Western Continent, Sylvia accompanied Shazo and Anruer to choose a place to stay.

Over the past year, Anjou and Sylvia have had occasional contact.

Xia Zuo never had any interaction with her.

He rummaged in his alchemy pocket, took out the unused communication ring, and sent a message to Sylvia.

Two minutes later, Xia Zuo, who had put on clean clothes, received a reply.

[Xia Zuo, congratulations on passing the advancement assessment for Master-level Poison Alchemist. Further studies at the Temple require submitting an application form. We can discuss the details in person.]

Xia Zuo sent out several more secret messages and finally agreed with the other party to meet on the 8th floor of the Boxin Building the next morning.

During dinner, Xia Zuo and An Ru'er discussed their plans for tomorrow.

Anru raised her little hand and suggested:

"How about I go with you to find Sylvia and sit in on her studies?"

"Before the Winter Veil Festival, I had already consolidated my knowledge of elemental representation. I'm just waiting for my spiritual ocean to expand in time so I can take the promotion exam. In about six months, I will become a master-level elemental representation master."

Anru's training expenses were entirely covered by the federal treasury.

Her promotion assessment does not require spending points to redeem exam qualifications; as long as she is confident in passing the assessment, she can apply to start the assessment.

After listening to her words, Xia Zuo thought they made sense, so he picked up Sylvia's secret communication ring, asked for her opinion, and received an affirmative answer.

"It's all settled. You'll come with me to find Sylvia tomorrow."

Chapter 27 Enlightenment Spells

The next day.

Today is Sunday, January 26th.

February is approaching, and the temperature is gradually rising.

Xia Zuo and Anruer discussed that after meeting with Sylvia, they would go to the department store together to buy some spring and summer clothes.

At 8:30 a.m. sharp, the two entered the 8th floor of the Bosing Building.

After exiting the elevator, the reception desk is directly in front of you.

The staff checked Xia Zuo's appointment information in the appointment book, and then led the two behind a glass partition, stopping next to an office surrounded by glass windows.

Sylvia, standing behind the glass window, saw the figures of Xia Zuo and Anru.

She put down the coffee she had just brewed and warmly invited them to sit down. "Please sit down, you two. It's been a long time. Are you settling in well in Poseidon?"

“I feel wonderful, Sylvia,” Anjou said with a smile. “You’ve chosen a really nice place to stay.”

Xia Zuo looked away from the office sign and glanced at Sylvia's name tag with a puzzled expression. "Thank you, Sylvia. We are very satisfied with the house in St. York Community."

"That's good." Sylvia smiled slightly. After the two of them sat down, she walked behind the desk, smoothed the back of her long dress, and sat down in the chair.

“I work for the Department of Urban Affairs in Poseidon, where I liaise with the Category 3 Disaster Response Department, so I simply moved my office here.”

Sylvia explained to Xia Zuo, and seeing that he seemed to understand, she continued:

“Normally, citizens of Poseidon who want to study at the Temple should register with their graduation tutor at the Ingenious Academy and go to the Temple under the tutor’s arrangement. But your situation is a bit special, so I will arrange your studies at the Temple for you.”

Sylvia took a thick file folder from the drawer, with the words and emblem of the British Academy on the cover.

She poured something that looked like a college admissions brochure out of the bag and placed it in front of Xia Zuo, gesturing for him to open it and take a look.

Xia Zuo quickly glanced at the introduction in the manual and then discovered the unique aspects of studying at the temple.

Normally, to systematically learn alchemy, one must combine theory and practice.

However, those who can reach the point of studying at the temple are all formal mages or above, some of whom are high-ranking mages, and most of them, like Xia Zuo, are formal mages.

In this case, the learning process of theoretical knowledge can be greatly simplified, and knowledge can be instilled into the recipient through enlightenment spells developed by the tower mage.

One training opportunity can be exchanged for one month of training time.

By using magic to impart theoretical knowledge, one can spend several hours in deep meditation and store the knowledge that would normally take a month to memorize in the ocean of the mind.

In the future, as long as you enter a shallow meditation, you will be able to read this knowledge that exists in the ocean of the mind.

This saves a lot of study time, allowing the remaining 30 days of training to be used for practical application.

The only cost is that this knowledge acquired through indoctrination will occupy a portion of one's mental wellspring before it is fully digested and understood.

In data terms, imparting knowledge will render 40 to 50 mental slots unusable for a certain period of time.

Those who are able to enter the temple for further study know the preciousness of the spiritual ocean.

Without the aid of light elements in meditation, even if an ordinary person meditates day and night, it would take at least 300 days to increase their mental attribute value by 1 point.

Occupying 40 mental slots at once means that 10 points of mental attribute value are unusable, and it will take about 10 years to cultivate a mental ocean of equivalent value...

Therefore, most of the monks who entered the temple for further study did not choose this method of study.

They would sit in classrooms as if attending classes at an academy, listening to the masters in the temple lecture, and trying their best to remember the knowledge they heard in class.

Compared to them, Xia Zuo undoubtedly has one more option.

He recalled his character template in his mind.
