The Magician of Cultivation

The Magicians' Association is indeed located to the left of the Adventurers' Association.

Not only that, the Fighter's Association is also here, to the right of the Adventurer's Association.

Unlike the bustling scenes of the Adventurer's Guild and the Fighter's Guild, the Magician's Guild is almost deserted.

This shows how rare the number of magicians is.

Liaocheng is the largest city in the southwest of Xueyan State, with a permanent population of over three million.

However, there are less than a thousand magicians, which can be described as one in a thousand.

Li Yu walked into the Magicians Association calmly, and no one stopped him at the door.

As he walked through the hallway, he vaguely felt a spiritual force sweeping over him.

Perhaps because he was considered a magician, the mental force did not linger for too long.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

"anyone there?"

"I want to apply for magician certification."

Li Yu stood alone in the empty hall, and no one responded even after he called out several times.

"W...went to the wrong place?"

He exited the foyer, confirmed the plaque at the door again, then walked back in, scratching his head.

"Is anyone there?" he yelled again.

This time there was finally a response.

An old man's angry voice came from the inner courtyard:

"Why don't you come in? What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for me to greet you?"

There was obvious impatience and frustration in that voice.

Immediately afterwards, an old man walked out from the inner courtyard.

The old man was wearing a dark green magic robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

His hair and beard were all white, but his face was as rosy and shiny as a child's, revealing an extraordinary temperament.

The old man walked steadily, and each step brought a strong wind, as if the whole world was shaking with his footsteps.

He has a loud and powerful voice and speaks with great energy.

Obviously, this old man is not only in good spirits, but also in excellent physical condition.

There were four golden leaves embroidered on the chest of the old man's magic robe.

"High-level magician?"

Li Yu was surprised. "Is the Magician Association so short of people? They let a senior magician be in charge of magic certification?"

He did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward to greet him.

"Hello, I would like to be certified as a magician."

"Well," the old man replied indifferently, and said listlessly, "Come with me, the certification fee is ten gold coins. You can hand it in after it's over."

"Yes……"

He led the way and soon took Li Yu into a room in the hall.

The room is simply furnished, with only a crystal ball placed in the center.

"Put your hand on the crystal ball and it will automatically draw the mana in your body for testing. Don't be nervous."

The old man gave a brief explanation and then signaled that he could begin.

Li Yu followed his instructions and stepped forward, placing his hands on the crystal ball.

A faint light flashed on the surface of the crystal ball, and then he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was being mobilized by a strange force.

Spiritual power slowly flowed into the crystal ball through his hands.

The originally crystal clear crystal ball turned into a fiery red color, like agate.

"Fire magic?"

The old man nodded in satisfaction, but then looked puzzled.

"The color is still changing. How can the fire element be so pure?"

The color of the crystal ball was deepening rapidly, pink, bright red, blood red, purple red, dark red...

Ka Ka Ka

There was a bursting sound from the crystal ball, and the old man's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could react, it exploded with a bang.

The old man looked dazed, and then he became furious.

"Boy, you are here sincerely to entertain me, right?"

Powerful mental pressure continued to emanate from the old man, and the air became stagnant.

Li Yu was shocked, "Senior, where did you get this from?"

"I am just here to get certified as a magician. I have never met you before."

The old man's mental pressure became stronger and stronger. If it were an ordinary junior magician, he would have knelt down long ago.

"Humph, you are at least an intermediate magician, right?"

The old man stared into his eyes, his beard slightly curled up, and he was already very angry.

"How could a magician of this level come for magician certification now?"

Magician inheritance is very important.

Ordinary people may be able to awaken their magical talents, but if they want to advance, they must have a teacher or join a certain force to learn magic.

No matter which one it is, it is impossible to reach the intermediate magician, and magic certification has not yet been carried out.

"Tell me, what is your purpose here?"

The old man took a step forward, his aura became more dignified, and the magical fluctuations in the air became more violent.

"Senior, everything I said is true."

"I am indeed here for magician certification."

"Humph," the old man still didn't believe it, "Then let me ask you, who is your master?"

"I have no relatives or master in this world." Li Yu answered truthfully.

Strictly speaking, he had no relatives when he traveled to this world, so it wasn't really a lie.

"Then what force trained you?"

"Senior, I have not joined any faction."

Li Yu explained helplessly, "I just need to have the identity of a magician when registering as an adventurer. So, I came here to get the magician certification."

"Oh?" The old man put away his mental pressure.

He was always observing the young man in front of him with his mental power, and was able to tell that there was no falsehood in the other party's words.

"You have completed the magic apprentice certification. You just need to pay 30,000 gold coins."

The old man said calmly, turned around and walked out of the room first.

"Thirty...thirty thousand..."

Li Yu's face was filled with black lines, and he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the handling fee only ten gold coins? Why do you charge thirty thousand?"

"Oh," the old man said nonchalantly, "I'll waive the ten gold coins handling fee for you. However, you'll need thirty thousand gold coins to compensate for the crystal ball."

"Senior, this... this shouldn't be blamed on me, right?"

Li Yu's mouth twitched and he said with a forced face.

"Huh? You don't want to?" The old man glared and was about to take back the magician badge he had just prepared.

"No, no, it's the juniors' turn..."

Li Yu gritted his teeth and replied, his eyes a little red, "When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."

"Put a drop of blood on the badge."

The old man looked at him with a half-smile, "Boy, think carefully. If you have taken the magician certification before, it will be exposed immediately."

Li Yu was angry and ignored him.

He took the badge, pricked his finger without hesitation, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the badge.

As soon as the blood fell on the badge, it was absorbed by it, and a line of small words appeared on the surface of the badge.

"First level, magic apprentice."

“It hasn’t been certified yet.”

The old man used his mental power to scan and could see the words on the badge clearly.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing the badge put away, he asked again: "Boy, do you want to do the upgrade certification?"

"No need, you can register as an adventurer with this." Li Yu refused without hesitation.

The main purpose of his coming to apply for magician certification was to register with the Adventurer's Association. Only adventurers could accept the mission to Xijing City.
