The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

As a dazzling rainbow light slowly descended, the carriage came to a steady stop on the huge tree branch extending from the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

Lords Lynn and Northbird were the first to step down from the carriage, followed closely by a group of accompanying wizards who filed out.

At the same time, many wizards who had been waiting at the Natural Merchant Pavilion came forward to greet them.

The leaders were naturally Granny Gu Wen, the head of the Natural Merchant Pavilion, and another deputy head, the wizard Tao Wan.

Lynn's gaze immediately fell on the two of them.

As for that wizard Momomaru, there wasn't much to be surprised about.

The opponent was a fully realized fifth-level Morning Star Wizard, whose strength was slightly superior to that of the Wood Lotus Belief Wizard. He had already found his third power of rules and had long had his own plan for the path of a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

As for her appearance, it is naturally impeccable.

Her face was absolutely beautiful and flawless, with features so exquisitely crafted that it was almost impossible to find any blemishes.

However, compared to the Magnolia Flower Witch's fresh, natural, and soft turquoise dress, it was quite different.

Momomaru's attire, on the other hand, was noticeably bolder.

She had a neat black high ponytail and wore only a simple, fitted light green short jacket over a black shirt, which perfectly accentuated her already beautiful figure.

She wore a pair of neat shorts on her lower body.

Her long, snow-white legs were exposed without any concealment, and her waist was deliberately left out with a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand. It was fair and delicate, and particularly attractive to the eye.

Just from his attire, it's not hard to tell what Momomaru's personality is like.

Clearly, she belongs to the type who is flamboyant, confident, and prefers to be the center of attention.

Of course, compared to her clothing and appearance, or even her flawless face, these are not really anything to be proud of.

In fact, once one's strength reaches the Morning Star level, adjusting one's appearance to make one's features more perfect, or even creating an absolutely flawless appearance, is an easy matter.

Both men and women can do this.

Therefore, for the Morning Star Wizard, simply having a stunningly beautiful face and a sexy figure is not really a "capital" in the true sense.

What truly sets people apart is their temperament.

Just like the three stunningly beautiful witches on the field right now: Kitatori, Muren Shin, and Momomaru.

All three were exceptionally beautiful, like beauties who had stepped out of a painting.

However, the one who truly draws everyone's attention at first glance is still Lord Northbird.

Because of her innate aristocratic air—dignified, elegant, and gentle, yet subtly carrying a sense of unapproachability—she had already surpassed the other two stunningly beautiful witches.

Of course, all of this is only from the perspective of Lord Lynn.

After all, only a lord of similar status and strength as these women would so calmly put these powerful and influential witches together to compare their appearance, temperament, and charm.

If it were another witch of the opposite sex.

Even a level six Morning Star Wizard would never dare to so brazenly scrutinize and judge these important figures from the Natural God Dynasty.

It's worth mentioning that Lynn was comparing three stunningly beautiful witches, but in reality, there were not three witches present, but a total of four.

The only person he deliberately ignored was Granny Gu Wen, the head of the Natural Merchant Pavilion, whose strength had reached the mid-stage of a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard.

The reason for this is certainly not because she is "old".

Although the title "Grandma Guwen" easily leads people to subconsciously think of her as a very old woman.

But in reality, a wizard's age and appearance are two different things.

Unless affected by factors such as the power of rules, meditation, bloodline modification, or certain failed experiments or special curses, age will not affect a wizard's appearance at all.

The Morning Star Wizard, in particular, has long been able to freeze his appearance until the day he truly falls, when he will age completely as his life passes away.

Therefore, most of the Morning Star wizards who appear old are doing so intentionally.

Some people use this moment to remind themselves that their lifespan is constantly slipping away and they cannot afford to be complacent.

For example, Gna, the Illusionary Herb Lion Wizard from the Western Regions of the Natural God Dynasty under Lynn's command, always maintained an aged appearance as a reminder to himself.

Of course, some Morning Star wizards simply prefer to present themselves in this manner.

As for which type of Granny Guwen she was, Lynn had no idea.

However, there was one thing he was absolutely certain of.

The question of whether the Master of the Natural Merchant Pavilion is "good-looking" or not is no longer relevant.

Because her current outward appearance has almost transcended the realm of humanity.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she herself is not human.

After all, the wizarding world is vast and boundless, with countless races, and among the powerful wizards, there are naturally many alien races.

At this moment, Granny Guwen stood there quietly.

Her body was completely enveloped in a deep blue divine light, making her appear as if she were a body sculpted from ancient plants and pure natural energy.

Her lower body was not legs, but thick, strong, dark, and ancient tree roots.

The intertwined roots, like sharp claws, pierce deep into the massive tree platform beneath our feet, becoming one with the entire natural pavilion.

Her face was hidden behind towering thorn armor and hazy shadows, with only her eyes, which were faintly visible, radiating an awe-inspiring majesty that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Her high-tied "hair crown" was not actually hair.

Instead, it is composed of leaves burning with fluorescent green divine light, interwoven with dazzling golden natural energy, resembling a crown belonging to a natural deity.

What's even more awe-inspiring are the wings behind her.

boom!
Two enormous wings slowly unfurled from behind her; they were not pure white, soft feathers.

Instead, it is an energy wing formed by the condensation of deep purple withered thorns and countless yellow-green lightning bolts that tear through the air and burst forth with thunder.

Thorns and thunder intertwine, antiquity and destruction coexist, and the mere act of unfolding exudes a terrifying and oppressive aura that sends chills down your spine.

Indeed, the old granny Guwen that was now standing before Lynn was more like a natural deity transformed from an ancient tree spirit than a wizard.

This attitude was far beyond Lynn's expectations.

He truly hadn't expected that this person, who was stationed in the City of Abundance and in charge of the Natural Merchant Pavilion, would have such a unique appearance.

Of course, compared to Granny Gu Wen's imposing and godlike appearance, her own attitude was quite gentle.

Seemingly noticing Lynn's momentary surprise, Granny Gu Wen smiled gently.

When she spoke, her voice was not hoarse at all like that of an old woman; instead, it was as gentle and soft as that of a mature woman in her thirties, with a touch of composure.

"Lord Lynn seems quite surprised..."

Lynn looked slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

After all, his reaction just now was somewhat impolite.

Fortunately, Kita-tori, who was standing nearby, took over the conversation at the right time and explained with a smile:
"Lord Lynn may not know, but Granny Guwen is in this state now because she is imitating Lady Sither's Path of Radiant Moon and has chosen to merge with her extraordinary plant."

North Bird didn't finish her sentence, but Lynn already understood what she meant.

He was naturally familiar with that Lady Sitheree.

That was a Radiant Moon King from the Natural God Dynasty, high above, looking down upon all living beings.

Grandma Gu Wen was clearly ambitious as well.

She was not content to stop at the sixth-level Morning Star Wizard, but wanted to cross the Morning Star realm and step into the level of the Radiant Moon, thus breaking free from the shackles of a ten-thousand-year lifespan.

Therefore, she chose to emulate Lady Sither's path of cultivation, gradually merging herself with extraordinary plants.

Of course, if she can really take that step and ascend to the Radiant Moon Crown, then she should also return to her normal human form.

After all, Lynn had seen the silhouette of Lady Sitherep, a tall human woman whose mere silhouette inspired awe.

However, Lynn didn't have high hopes for whether Granny Guwen would be able to take that step successfully.

In fact.

Let alone Granny Guwen.

Even the four lords of the Natural God Dynasty have a pitifully low probability of breaking through to the Radiant Moon Crown in the future.

That's why.

Bei Niao only said half of what she had said and did not go any further, clearly because she did not want to touch on Granny Gu Wen's obsession and did not want to unintentionally hurt her.

But then again.

For every level six Morning Star Wizard, the goal is to transcend the Morning Star Realm and ascend to the Crown of the Radiant Moon.

If one didn't even have such ambition, one wouldn't have been able to get to where one is today.

Therefore, naturally no one would laugh at her for overestimating her abilities.

Thinking of this, Lynn smiled slightly and nodded apologetically to Granny Gu Wen.

Although Granny Guwen's face is now hidden behind shadows and thorny armor, no change in expression can be seen.

But the two quietly burning emerald green flames in her eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of kindness.

Clearly, she didn't take Lynn's brief loss of composure to heart, dismissing it as mere surprise.

Just then, North Bird suddenly chuckled softly, turned to Lynn, and said:
"Lord Lynn, I haven't seen Granny Guwen for a long time, and I'd like to catch up first, so I'll take my leave now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she naturally reached out and took Granny Gu Wen's arm, which was as strong as a tree branch, and then walked into the depths of the Natural Merchant Pavilion without looking back.

Golden hair fluttered in the wind as the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, their voices faintly drifting back.

"It's been such a long time since we last parted..."

Seeing this, Lynn was both amused and exasperated.

Clearly, Miss Kita no Tori doesn't consider herself an outsider; otherwise, she wouldn't act so casually.

The welcoming ceremony for the two lords visiting the Natural Merchant Pavilion was only halfway through when Lord Northbird casually announced its end with a single sentence.

Moreover, it ended with a sense of self-righteousness.

However, although the two important figures left first, Lynn's gaze slowly fell on the wizard Momomaru and the other Morning Star wizards.

He didn't leave the group standing there; instead, he naturally took over the situation and continued the welcoming ceremony that was supposed to proceed normally.

"Momomaru the Wizard, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Lynn spoke calmly, his expression serene.

Upon hearing this...

The witch Momomaru, who had been standing there quietly like a beautiful goddess statue, finally had a slight tremor in her beautiful eyes.

She even doubted whether she had misheard.

However, when she caught a glimpse of the obviously unpleasant face of the Magnolia Flower Believer beside her, she immediately knew the answer.

He hadn't misheard; the new lord who was in charge of the Western Forest Domain had indeed just called his name.

For a moment, Momomaru Wizard's mind raced with thoughts.

what's the situation?
Mulan Huaxin, that bitch, wasn't she from the Western Regions?

Logically speaking, she and this Western Regions lord should naturally have some connection, so could it be that... she didn't get the support of this Lord Lynn?

Thinking of this, the wizard Momomaru glanced at the Magnolia Flower letter again.

The other person's face was stiff and their expression was terrible, as if their parents had died.

Upon seeing this, the wizard Momomaru was overjoyed.

Sure enough!

That bitch got what she deserved!
In this light, it seems that he has not been at a disadvantage in the competition for the position of Pavilion Master.

If we can seize this opportunity and successfully gain the support of this Western Regions lord...

So this battle for the position of Pavilion Master could even crush that bitch Mulan Huaxin!

These thoughts were fleeting.

The next moment, a bright and charming smile appeared on the beautiful face of the wizard Momomaru.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

"Lord Lynn, please come with me."

Her voice was gentle, her posture was graceful, and she seemed even more approachable than before.

Despite the undisguised overtures from the wizard Momomaru, Lynn remained calm.

She couldn't help but smile inwardly; she was indeed a clever witch.

Of course, if one is not smart enough, one cannot become the deputy head of the Natural Commerce Pavilion.

If the higher-ups of a business organization like the Merchant Pavilion, which is responsible for trade, weren't quick-witted, they would probably have been devoured long ago, leaving not even bones behind.

Whether it was the series of overtures and arrangements made by Magnolia Flower Wizard beforehand, or the cold attitude that Momomaru Wizard deliberately maintained at the beginning, it all contributed to the situation.

Ultimately, it's all just a power struggle revolving around the position of the head of the Natural Commerce Pavilion.

If someone lacks strength or status, they will inevitably find themselves in a dilemma once they get involved in such a struggle, and extricating themselves will be extremely difficult.

But Lynn was different; he was the lord who ruled the entire Western Yuan Forest Region. With his high position and great power, there were some things he didn't even need to deliberately show favoritism about.

A single word, a single action, or a seemingly insignificant attitude can be enough to shift the balance between the two parties.

Just now, for example, he didn't let Mulan Huaxin continue the introduction, but instead casually mentioned the name of the wizard Momomaru.

That's all. For a smart person, that's enough to explain a lot.

At least, they wouldn't be foolish enough to see Lynn as a natural enemy.

Thinking of this, Lynn looked at the increasingly respectful and natural smile of the wizard Momomaru and became even more certain of his judgment.

I had underestimated these Morning Star wizards before. None of them were truly fools who had managed to get to where they were today.

They were far from being black and white like other wizards.

They would not act rashly and provoke a powerful lord because of a temporary conflict of interest.

Even when Lynn glanced at the Magnolia Flower Believer again out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the Magnolia Flower Believer had already put away her extremely ugly expression.

Although her smile still seemed somewhat forced, she still managed to force out a gentle and respectful demeanor.

This alone is enough to explain a great deal.

The two clever level-five witches were like two kittens to be teased in front of him...

This reminded Lynn of the things that had happened in the Western Regions in the past, and he felt a sense of helplessness.

Both are level 5 Morning Star Wizards.

That Flame-Slaying Soul Wizard was as stupid as a pig, deliberately provoking him, only to end up getting himself into trouble.

As for that fourth-level Warlock of Conflict, he has long since turned into a mound of yellow earth, and the grass on his grave is probably already incredibly tall.

Even among Morning Star Wizards, the differences between them are quite significant.

Of course, Lynn understood.

At that time, I was just a fourth-level wizard, a newcomer to the Western Regions, occupying the position of lord, but my title was not legitimate and my words were not lawful.

It's perfectly normal for others to look down on him.

Now, after so many ups and downs.

Whether it's the integration within the Western Forest Domain or his performance in the wars outside the domain, he has already achieved remarkable results, proving his strength and ability.

Things are naturally different now.

"My lord, this is the wizard Flash Godot."

"Greetings, Lord."

"My lord, this is Wizard Mills."

"Greetings, Lord."

"My lord, who is this...?"

……

With each introduction by the wizard Momomaru, the welcoming ceremony of the Natural Trading Company concluded smoothly in a harmonious atmosphere.

After everything settled down, the wizard Momomaru personally led Lynn to the highest point of the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

This is the very top of the entire giant tree.

The view is incredibly expansive; looking out, one can almost overlook most of the bountiful city.

The room is spacious and grand, with all kinds of facilities, making it impeccable whether for meditation, entertaining guests, or resting.

It was the perfect place for the lord to stay when he visited.

After dropping Lynn off, the wizard Momomaru wisely refrained from lingering.

After giving a slight bow, he took the initiative to leave.

As the door slowly closed, the large room returned to silence.

Lynn slowly looked around, then stepped to the front of the room.

There, there was a nearly transparent crystal wall.

Through the crystal wall, one can clearly see the churning sea of ​​clouds, the crisscrossing aerial tracks, and the magnificent view of a corner of the City of Abundance.

He casually sat down on a soft sofa, where a number of gift boxes were neatly arranged on a long table.

Those were gifts from the Morning Star Wizards during the earlier welcoming ceremony.

The vast majority of them came from the high-ranking Morning Star Wizards of the Natural Merchant Pavilion.

It's not exactly precious, but it's certainly not ordinary either.

Most of them are small, exquisite items of considerable value.

Lynn casually flipped through a few items.

It includes rare materials, high-quality potions, and some unique small alchemical items.

Without even looking closely, he casually put them all into his storage space, considering it as adding to his already substantial wealth.

After everything was tidied up, only the last three gifts remained on the table.

These three gifts were none other than greeting gifts presented by the three leaders and deputy leaders of the Natural Commerce Pavilion.

Knowing that both Momomaru and Mulanhua Xin were asking for his help and might give him generous gifts as a token of their appreciation, Lynn didn't rush to look at their gifts.

Instead, she took the initiative to open the gift given by Granny Gu Wen, with whom she had no vested interest.

The gift box slowly opened, revealing a turquoise, prismatic crystal lying quietly inside.

The crystal is crystal clear and so pure that it is almost without any impurities. A faint emerald green light flows slowly inside, as if it carries some special information.

Lynn only glanced at it before realizing that this was no ordinary treasure.

"Imprint crystal?"

He reached out and picked it up, then slowly probed it with his spiritual energy.

The next moment, a flood of images slowly unfolded in his mind.

Those are images left behind by Granny Guwen during her many spiritual practices in the past.

Among them are not only her various insights when comprehending the power of the rules, but also her experiences and insights when deducing her future path of cultivation.

Even some key memories from when he broke through to the sixth level of Morning Star Wizard were completely preserved.

It is not the kind of ordinary mark crystal with rough records, but one that is so detailed that it covers almost every aspect, from concepts to insights to specific practice processes.

In addition, Granny Guwen's understanding of her own cultivation path, as well as the core principles she upheld when breaking through to the sixth level of Morning Star Wizard, are also preserved in it without reservation.

This alone is enough to show that Grandma Guwen put a lot of thought into preparing this gift.

If this type of marked crystal were sold on the market, it would definitely fetch an extremely high price.

"indeed……"

"For a level 5 Morning Star Wizard like me, even the most precious treasures may not be as valuable as the complete cultivation experience of a level 6 Morning Star Wizard."

Lynn smiled gently.

She silently remembered Grandma Gu Wen's kindness.

At least, the two sides have formed a good relationship.

at the same time.

A sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

Grandma Gu Wen had no vested interest in him, yet she knew to give him a gift that perfectly suited his needs.

So, now that the two wizards, Momomaru and Mulanhua Xin, are trying to win me over...

How precious would the gifts they prepare be? In particular, would they be of any help to one's spiritual practice?

Thinking of this, Lynn did not hesitate any longer and took the lead in opening the gift box sent by the Magnolia Flower Letter Wizard.

However, the contents of the gift box were far simpler than he had imagined.

Inside, a crystal card lay quietly.

The entire card shimmers with a dreamlike luster, exuding a mysterious and gentle aura that gives one a slight sense of mental disorientation at first glance.

However... it's unclear what its specific function is.

Lynn reached out and picked up the crystal card, his gaze falling on the front, where three words were engraved in the common wizarding script.

Miyinfang.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing these three words, Lynn was slightly taken aback.

It felt somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place where I had heard it before.

However, with the Morning Star Wizard's almost terrifying memory, a distant scene quickly surfaced in his mind in just a moment.

That was when he and Xiye had just arrived in the Eastern Region.

At that moment, west Ye smiled knowingly as she introduced him to the famous places in the Eastern Region.

Among them, the Miyinfang was mentioned.

Miyinfang.

It was a place that countless wizards called a paradise of desire and a den of iniquity.

Illusionist, bard, the most alluring elf, the most enchanting witch...

You can find all sorts of extraordinary professions that excel in spiritual, artistic, and sensory enjoyment there.

The Enchanted Music Pavilion, a den of iniquity in the Eastern Regions, a place where all souls are corrupted; once you've been there, you can never leave...

After recalling the relevant information, Lynn's face immediately darkened.

"Holy crap! How could it be this thing..."

Several dark lines appeared on Lynn's forehead. The gift from the Magnolia Flower Letter Wizard was actually a VIP crystal card from the Enchanted Sound Pavilion.

Although this crystal card looks extremely high-end and is definitely worth a lot, after holding the card, one can most likely enjoy special treatment that ordinary customers of the Enchanting Music Hall would never be able to access.

But the problem is...

I'm not the kind of person who's driven by lust!
However, the next moment, Lynn's expression suddenly froze, and the scene of Miss North Bird's prank suddenly flashed into his mind.

"wrong……"

"She doesn't really think I'm that kind of person, does she?"

Thinking of this, Lynn's lips twitched involuntarily.

First, North Bird deliberately made himself have a nosebleed, and then in front of Magnolia Flower, the sorcerer, he said, "Lord Lynn is young and strong, and his blood and energy are truly abundant."

Now, considering the Magnolia Flower Believer's behavior along the way, and that deliberate attempt to please him just now...

Clearly, the other party had misunderstood.

She probably already believed that he was a young, ambitious lord who was fond of beautiful women, which is why she specially sent this VIP crystal card from the Enchanting Sound Pavilion in an attempt to please him.

Thinking of this, Lynn was both amused and exasperated.

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

Miss Kita's prank cost her a chance to receive a gift.

Given the current situation of the Wood Lotus Belief Wizard, if he truly wanted to win me over, he would most likely have offered me a precious treasure that would greatly benefit my cultivation.

But to my surprise, it turned out to be a VIP crystal card from the Miyinfang...

This thing might be priceless to others, but in my own hands, it's really a bit of a waste.

He usually either stays in the Western Yuan Forest Domain or is in seclusion cultivating.

Could it be that someone would make a special trip to the Enchanted Sound Pavilion just to use up this crystal card?

Or should we find an opportunity to sell it?
Thinking of this, Lynn shook his head helplessly, casually put the crystal card of the Enchanting Sound Pavilion aside, and ignored it.

Then, his gaze fell on the last gift.

That was a gift from the wizard Momomaru.

"Let's hope this Momomaru wizard is somewhat reliable..."

"Since it's a gift, let's stick to giving treasures that can help with cultivation. Let's not stray into any other random or misleading directions..."

With this thought in mind, Lynn slowly opened the gift box.

The next moment, an extremely rich and strange fragrance, accompanied by a dazzling light, suddenly wafted out of the gift box, and the entire room seemed to be filled with that spiritual energy.

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously looked into the depths of the gift box.

When he finally saw clearly what was quietly placed there, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the expression on his face instantly froze.

"This is……"

Even with his composure, he couldn't help but show a hint of shock at this moment. (End of Chapter)
