Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 113 Qi Refining Level 11: Conditions for Advancing to a Formal Wizard

'A breakthrough is imminent!'

Ronan sensed the power in his dantian and knew he had reached the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi Refining.

He calmed his mind and continued his cultivation.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth still converges upon him.

The ancient tree longevity magic vortex in his dantian spun faster and faster.

About half an hour later, he sensed a surge of power erupting from his dantian.

He looked inward into his dantian and saw that the ancient tree's life-giving power within it had become even denser and its verdant color even deeper.

On a whim, he gave Hongmeng the command to retrieve the values.

Lifespan: 392↑

Strength: 52↑

Spirit: 61↑

Mana: 51↑

Cultivation Realm: Qi Refining Level 11

Wizard Rank: Level 3 Wizard Apprentice

'Finally, I've reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining.'

Ronan received the data from HarmonyOS in his mind, and felt excited.

'But why is my wizarding level still only Level 3 Apprentice?'

When he entered the Kingdom Wizarding Academy using Paul's identity, he had seen a first-class official wizard from afar.

At that time, he used Hongmeng to analyze the data of that first-level official wizard.

The sorcerer's spirit and magic power values ​​were both over 50.

And their strength is even inferior to his.

'But why, according to the data returned by HarmonyOS, am I not a formal wizard?'

'Could it be that there are other requirements for becoming a full-fledged wizard?'

Ronan couldn't find any books related to becoming a formal wizard at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy.

This is because Paul, whose identity he borrowed, was actually only a second-level wizard apprentice.

In the Kingdom Wizarding Academy Library, only books accessible to wizards below the second-level apprentice level are available.

He guessed that only third-level wizard apprentices could see the book related to becoming a formal wizard.

'Does Paul know the requirements for becoming a full-fledged wizard?'

Ronan thought to himself.

But then he realized that the wizarding world was extremely secretive about knowledge.

Unlike the cultivation world, where books on Foundation Establishment can be bought in bookstores.

Paul is only a second-level wizarding apprentice, so it's unlikely he knows anything about formal wizarding.

It's estimated that he'll only be qualified to access this kind of knowledge once he reaches the third level of wizard apprenticeship.

'Why don't we go and check with A-Wen?'

This thought came to Ronan's mind.

Awen is a level three wizard apprentice, so she probably knows about formal wizarding knowledge.

Ronan made some preparations, went out the door, and headed towards Awen's bungalow.

Of course, he wouldn't ask about it directly. Instead, just like he had done several times before to extract knowledge, he would bring it up in casual conversation.

……

Half an hour later, Ronan walked out of Awen's bungalow.

He finally managed to extract the conditions for becoming a formal wizard.

To be promoted to a formal wizard, one needs to have a second-order wizardry model in their mind.

In other words, knowledge and wisdom are the key requirements for becoming a formal wizard.

When he heard the key conditions for becoming a formal wizard, he understood even more clearly the meaning of what Awen had said that day.

—In wizarding training, the further you go, the less important a wizard's aptitude becomes; what matters most is a wizard's talent for learning.

A wizard's talent for learning allows them to acquire more profound knowledge, thus breaking through bottlenecks. Some wizards with high aptitude but poor learning ability may cultivate quickly, but they remain stuck at their bottlenecks for a long time.

Ronan just remembered that he had a second-tier sorcery in his storage artifact—the Bone Substitute.

This sorcery is a second-tier intermediate sorcery, which he obtained from a necromancer he killed.

At the time, he didn't learn this witchcraft because it was too advanced for him.

'A skeletal doppelganger is precisely a means of escaping.'

With this in mind, Ronan decided to learn this witchcraft.

He returned to the bungalow and transmigrated to the world of cultivation.

Because the spiritual energy in the mortal world of the cultivation world is scarce, if he wants to perform witchcraft, he must use all his own magical power.

Second-tier intermediate witchcraft consumes a considerable amount of mana.

So he entered the True Immortal Realm of the Realm of the True Immortal Sect and found a deserted grove of trees in the shantytown.

Upon reaching a clearing in the forest, he released his divine sense to check if there were any people within a radius of about 800 meters.

After confirming that no one was around, he summoned Hongmeng and retrieved the incantation and formula for this witchcraft.

This witchcraft is actually a combination of spatial witchcraft, summoning witchcraft, and necromancy.

To cast this spell is to summon a skeleton from the necromantic plane to take the attack in one's place.

He briefly passed through the spatial gap between the Necromancer's Dimension and his own world, then reappeared five meters away in another location.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a "skeleton substitute".

The higher the proficiency level of the Bone Substitute, the more powerful the summoned skeletons will be, and the farther the teleportation distance will be.

Because skeletons are often more resistant to attacks than ordinary wizards.

Therefore, by using the White Bone Substitute, he was able to avoid an attack.

If the summoned skeletons are not destroyed in one hit, they can immediately attack the enemy, achieving a surprise effect.

After recalling for a while, Ronan began to chant the incantation.

Soon, he felt the space around him distort, as if it had turned into water, and he could travel to any space at any time.

Immediately afterwards, he continued chanting the incantation and shifted his body to the side.

They were immediately transported into a space with a pitch-black background.

There were multiple white points of light all around this space.

Then, using his mind, he manipulated his body to move forward in the darkness toward one of the white lights.

The next moment, everything went black before his eyes.

The astonishing scene before my eyes then transformed back into the landscape of the forest.

The distance was exactly five meters before the teleportation.

Where he had originally stood, a bald skeleton, without armor or equipment, sensed his presence, and the eerie blue flames in its dark eye sockets suddenly flared up as it rushed toward him.

Ronan’s eyes gleamed brightly, his spirit and energy merging into one!
The next moment, he opened his mouth.

A burst of extremely hot flames, mixed with wisps of rosy light, spewed out from his mouth and nose!

It covered the skeleton like a piece of cloth.

After three breaths, Ronan withdrew the Samadhi Fire.

Then you can see that there are only a few specks of ashes left on the ground.

He used a basic wind manipulation technique to scatter the ashes on the ground everywhere.

He then performed this witchcraft multiple times.

As soon as the skeletons arrived, he burned them to ashes with his Samadhi Fire.

These skeletons were weaker than he had imagined.

He didn't know whether it was fire-attribute magic that countered skeletons, or because the Samadhi True Fire was so powerful.

Or perhaps, the Samadhi Fire also has a restraining effect on undead creatures.

Skeleton Stand (Beginner 3%), Skeleton Stand (Beginner 4%)...

His proficiency with the skeleton substitute gradually increased.

The distance he teleported to gradually increased, and the skeletons he summoned seemed to become more and more powerful.
