After Levi was done with his work, he went to Ms. Marlene’s room.
Levi informed, “Ms. Marlene, I’m going on a long trip. I cannot attend classes for the next two to three months.”
“Are you going to the Yellow Earth Continent like you mentioned before?” asked Ms. Marlene softly while reading a book.
“Yes. I have a friend there. I’m going to meet him and run some errands there.”
Ms. Marlene raised her head and replied, “Noted. By the way, the Tower Master has come out of seclusion and is looking for you. Visit him before you leave.”
The Tower Master was fiddling with a small box that looked like the black box on an airplane.
Levi knew that the Tower Master seemed to be researching the Soul Transplantation Technique of the School of Death. He wanted to transplant his soul into a soul box like a lich. He would become an alchemical creature and completely give up his human brain through this method.
This was definitely a dangerous endeavor, but the Tower Master was incredibly stubborn. No matter how much the others tried to convince him, he could not be persuaded. Perhaps it had something to do with the person hidden deep in his memories.
“Levi, how’s your alchemy and array learning going?” the Tower Master asked.
“Tower Master, I’ve already mastered all the first-circle alchemy techniques and runes you gave me. As for arrays, I can only refine some zero-circle arrays,” Levi reported honestly.
The Tower Master said, “Not bad. You’ve done a good job with the arrays. I’ve also heard that you’ve installed arrays in the small garden in the tower. After you advance to a First-Circle Array Wizard, you can help the tower refine and set up some useful first-circle arrays. You will be rewarded for doing so.” “Alright, Tower Master,” Levi replied.
He had been busy with breathing techniques and meditation arts in the past few years, so his progress in arrays had significantly decreased.
However, he was only 1,000 or 2,000 proficiency points away from level 4. He could reach level 4 by the end of this year or early next year. By then, he could become a genuine First-Circle Wizard and learn a few important arrays, such as the Shadowless Maze Array that could aid him in ambushing enemies and avoiding tracking.
Levi replied, “Tower Master, ask away. I will do my best if it is within my ability.”
In the Gray Tower, the Tower Master had absolute authority, and Levi had no right to refuse. Moreover, the Tower Master treated Levi well, so Levi could not turn him down.
However, if it was beyond his ability, he naturally could not promise results.
The Tower Master explained, “My wife was from the Yellow Earth Continent. Her family is a small and powerful family of wizards. We met when I was still an apprentice wizard, but her family didn’t agree to us being together. They thought that there was no future for her if she followed me. They wanted to marry her to one of the three prominent families of the Yellow Earth Continent, the Flame King Al Hidd Family.
“Ultimately, my wife betrayed her family for me and cut ties with her family. Until her death, she never returned to her family on the Yellow Earth Continent.
“Later on, I heard that her family had declined due to unforeseen circumstances. Their family used to be a Second-Circle Wizard Organization with a Second-Circle Wizard in charge. Now, there might not even be a First-Circle Wizard in the family. Perhaps it won’t be long before this family perishes.
“I don’t care if they die, but I learned from my wife that although her family is small, they secretly possess the coordinates to a small secret realm, which opens every 200 years.
“The last time it opened, she had gone in with her clan members. Because supernatural creatures attacked them, she and her clan members fled separately and acted alone. She accidentally found an extremely precious Seven Days Soul Returning Grass in a deep valley in the secret realm. It was a seventh-circle herb, a true treasure that even high-level wizards would go crazy over.
“It was a pity that the Seven Days Soul Returning Grass hadn’t matured yet. Now that 200 years have passed, the herb should have matured. The door to the secret realm will open in three months. You should visit my wife’s Colin Family when you go to the Yellow Earth Continent. Be it coercion or bribery, do whatever it takes to enter that secret realm and retrieve the Seven Days Soul
Levi’s expression changed when he heard that. He asked, “Tower Master, do you plan to use the herb to resurrect your lover?”
As a pharmacist, Levi had naturally heard of the legendary Seven Days Soul Returning Grass. It was a magical plant that only existed in legends. He did not expect it to grow in a small secret realm.
This seventh-circle herb was more precious than many eighth-circle or even ninth-circle herbs because it had a legendary property: resurrecting the souls of the dead.
Therefore, Levi immediately caught on to what the Tower Master planned to do with it.
“That’s right,” the Tower Master admitted while nodding.
“Tower Master, I want to help you, but this mission is too difficult. It’s more appropriate for you to handle such an important matter yourself. After all, you’re a third-circle existence, and I’m only a First-Circle Wizard,” Levi admitted with some difficulty.
After all, if he failed, the Tower Master would fail to resurrect his lover due to
Levi’s incompetence..
