Upon receiving news of Yunxi's return, Eliza immediately took her there.
"Yun Xi, you didn't encounter any danger in the Purple Abyss Strange Domain, did you?"
"No."
Eliza looked Yunxi up and down, and only after confirming that she was safe and sound did she breathe a sigh of relief and say, "That's good. I've been worried about you these past few days."
Yun Xi then briefly recounted her encounters in the Purple Abyss Strange Domain, omitting her experiences in the Purple Crystal Mountain, only mentioning that she unexpectedly obtained the spiritual object 'Purple', which could soothe the strange movements of the Purple Crystal Mountain.
Therefore, the prefect of Jiaozhou Prefecture took her as his heir.
Upon hearing Yun Xi recount that she had been chosen as the successor by the lord of Jiaozhou Prefecture, Eliza's first reaction was worry.
"Yun Xi, is this... really such a good thing?"
Although Jiaozhou Prefecture is not a behemoth like the Sorcerer Association, it still occupies a place in the special realms and can be considered a major force.
Eliza understood all too well how fierce the competition was to obtain the position of successor to the power lord in a major power.
In fact, Yun Xi didn't believe it at first and was worried that it was a trap.
But her thoughts changed after she entered the Purple Crystal Mountain.
Although it is unknown what the prefect of Jiaozhou Prefecture was thinking at the time, she was recognized by the lord of the Purple Abyss Strange Domain, which is true.
It seems that the ancestral precept mentioned by the Jiaozhou Prefecture Lord was not just a simple ancestral precept, but must have a deeper meaning, which is why the Jiaozhou Prefecture Lord recognized her as his successor.
"Eliza, you don't need to worry. The prefect of Jiaozhou Prefecture has signed System Contract with me, and she cannot do anything to harm me. This naturally includes a conspiracy."
Upon hearing this, Eliza's tense expression relaxed slightly, but she still said with some unease, "Even so, you still need to be careful. The relationships among powerful forces are complex, and no one knows if there will be any changes."
Yun Xi also recalled the hostility that Qingzi showed towards her in the council hall.
She remembered correctly that the manor lord called Qingzi "A Li".
Seeing Yun Xi's expression, Eliza understood and couldn't help but say, "Yun Xi, no matter what you encounter, don't forget that the Sorcerer Association is always your support."
"Okay, thank you, Eliza. I will be careful."
"By the way, Yun Xi, I've prepared the formation for your advancement to Legendary Sorcerer warlock. Have you found the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow yet?"
Yun Xi, thought for a moment, and then took out the Storage Bag that the manor lord had given her.
She had her reasons for taking out the Storage Bag. Now that she had become the successor to the lord of Jiaozhou Prefecture, it would be too unbelievable if the lord hadn't given her the Purple Crystal, a specialty of the Purple Abyss Strange Domain.
Yun Xi understood the principle of keeping one's wealth hidden, and therefore she could not possibly produce any of the Red Crystal.
Although Purple Crystal is precious enough, Eliza's place in her heart naturally far surpasses these.
Eliza was kind to her sincerely, and he even shielded her from Karma Main God.
Moreover, Eliza also secured for her a precious material from the Sorcerer Association, the Deep Sea Mystic Crystal, used to advance to the Legendary Sorcerer rank.
The amount of personal connections and resources involved is unimaginable.
She couldn't ignore any of these things.
So she took out the several hundred Purple Crystal that the lord of the manor had given her, in order to get Eliza to accept part of the gift she had given her.
Eliza would not refuse outright only if the quantity was large enough.
Yun Xi took out 1/10 of the Purple Crystal from her Storage Bag and piled it on the table in front of the two of them.
Yisha looked surprised. "Yun Xi, what do you mean by this?"
Yun Xi looked at Yisha sincerely and said, "Yisha, I have always received a lot of care from you. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Yisha frowned. "Yun Xi, these Purple Crystal are too precious. I can't accept them."
Yun Xi shook her head and said, "Yisha, in my heart, your affection far exceeds the value of these Purple Crystal, so please don't refuse anymore."
Yisha understood Yun Xi's meaning and knew that she was a grateful person.
If he didn't accept it, he might be going against Yun Xi's wishes. After thinking about it, he nodded solemnly to Yun Xi.
"Alright, Yun Xi, I appreciate your kind gesture. I will do my best to help you in the future if there is anything you need my assistance with."
Despite saying that, Yisha simply took two Purple Crystal from the table and put them away.
"Yun Xi, these two Purple Crystal are enough for me. You can keep the rest for now. If I need them in the future, I certainly won't be polite."
Yun Xi knew he was joking. After all, if Yisha had the nerve to ask her for it, he wouldn't have only taken two Purple Crystal now.
Reluctantly, they had no choice but to put away the remaining Purple Crystal.
"Yisha, you must tell me if you need anything in the future."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't hold back with you."
In Yisha's heart, Yun Xi's importance had increased significantly.
From that moment on, the two were no longer just in a simple superior-subordinate relationship, but also became partners who could truly trust each other in a certain sense.
While it cannot be denied that the System Contract played a part in this, the fact that both of them knew that the other was a grateful person naturally made their relationship more sincere and harmonious.
After putting away the Purple Crystal, Yisha took Yun Xi to the advancement formation that he had asked the formation master to set up in advance.
The Deep Sea Mystic Crystal he obtained from the Sorcerer Association was already placed on the table.
All that's missing is the Ethereal Jade and the Purple Flame Spirit Marrow before the formation can be officially activated.
Looking at the array that covered several square meters in front of her, Yun Xi felt a strange sense of tension.
Legendary Sorcerer was a rank she could only dream of in her previous life. Unexpectedly, in this life, less than a year later, she's already preparing to ascend to Legendary Sorcerer...
"Yun Xi, don't worry. With the help of this formation, plus your strength and preparation, you will definitely succeed in becoming Legendary Sorcerer."
Yun Xi a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, I will do my best."
After speaking, Yun Xi took out the Ethereal Jade that Klayk had given her, as well as a Purple Crystal, and placed them in their respective positions.
Yun Xi sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, with Yisha standing beside her as her protector.
After Yun Xi took out enough crystals to advance, the familiar system notification sounded.
[Ding, the system has detected that the host meets the requirements for advancement to Legendary Sorcerer. Would you like the system to assist in the advancement?]
Note: At least 10,000 points of spiritual energy (based on the host's Spirit Attribute) are required for a successful breakthrough.
[Yes.]
