"Junior sister, you've arrived. Our mentor has been talking about you for a long time." At the top of the Azure Flame Holy Tower, a gray-robed Mage with an old appearance and gray hair smiled at Luluman.

"Fifth Senior Brother," Luluman greeted respectfully.

The gray-robed old man in front of her was clearly not as strong as Luluman.

Luluman is a level four Mage who has been promoted to the highest rank and is the Holy Tower Master.

The gray-robed old Mage before them was only a Third-Level Great Magician, and his Soul Fire was extremely weak, seemingly on the verge of exhausting his lifespan.

However, Luluman showed great respect to the old man in all aspects of her behavior.

This was not only because the old man had helped Luluman a lot when she was still weak, but also because the old man was her senior brother.

Respect for teachers and elders has always been a virtue in the Wizard World.

The Mage valued lineage so much not just in words, but in deeds.

Even if one day the apprentice's strength surpasses that of the master, the master is still the master, and the apprentice must repay him with the most sincere respect and love.

Otherwise, they will be scorned by the entire Spellcaster class in the Wizard World.

This Third-Level Great Magician named Andres is Saine's Fifth Senior Uncle.

Before coming, Saine had learned about the specifics of his sect from Luluman.

Grandmaster Cuilisi had seven disciples.

Saine's mentor Luluman, was the youngest and the last disciple accepted by his grandmaster Cuilisi, thousands of years ago.

Before Cuilisi, there were four senior brothers and two senior sisters.

However, both the eldest senior brother and the Third Senior Sister have passed away.

Of those still alive today, only the Second Senior Brother, the fourth senior sister, the fifth senior brother, and the Sixth Senior Brother remain.

For all four of them, Saine had to address them as his senior masters.

Furthermore, among the four senior masters, the second senior master, Gagaru, and the fourth senior master, Penas, are both powerful level four or higher mages capable of building holy towers.

The former built the Flame Sigh Holy Tower, while the latter built the Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower.

Fifth Senior Uncle and Sixth Senior Uncle did not establish Holy Tower. They both seem to have stopped at the level of Third-Level Great Magician. Currently, they serve as the Dean of the Holy Tower Academy in the Azure Flame Holy Tower of their Grandmaster.

"Sixth brother is upstairs."

He's been waiting for you for a long time.

"Is this your disciple? He seems quite promising." The gray-robed Mage in front of him opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, glanced at Saine, and smiled.

"Hehe, not bad, this is my apprentice Saine."

"This little guy is indeed capable, but he's still a bit lacking compared to the Flame Sword Airlid that you, Senior Brother, taught. That little guy is already a demigod, isn't he?" Luluman chuckled, introducing Saine to the old man before her with an ambiguous tone, neither praising nor criticizing him. →

"Yes, twenty years ago, he had already broken through to the peak of the Level-3 Peak of Grand Mage and began to try to make contact with the power of laws."

"Fifteen years ago, he applied to go to the Violet Brake Flame Soul World, a large Fire Element Plane under the Wizard Alliance, for a trial. This time, our master has summoned our lineage for a gathering, so he probably won't be able to make it back," Fifth Senior Uncle said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the little one's path of Truth Exploration cannot be neglected, and the mentor will understand."

"She probably hopes that one of her grand-disciples will become a fourth-level Holy Tower Master," Luluman said with a smile.

"Hehe, let's go upstairs."

"Although Ailide didn't come this time, I can introduce you to a few of my new disciples."

"Old Liu has taken on quite a few new apprentices over the years."

"Although we are about to stop on the path of Truth Exploration, watching these little ones grow up is like seeing our own Knowledge Inheritance, transcending the limitations of time, and flourishing in the Wizard World," Fifth Senior Uncle said with a smile.

"What do you mean by stopping? You two can live for at least a few thousand more years. I look forward to the day you build the Holy Tower!" Luluman said reproachfully.

The old man in the gray robe smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more.

It's clear that the relationship between mentor Luluman and her lineage is excellent.

Since it was the elders talking, Saine, a mere level Level-1 Magician, did not interrupt.

From beginning to end, he silently followed behind Luluman.

However, he occasionally glanced around. As the residence of the top tower master of the Azure Flame Holy Tower, the various experimental instruments and equipment he could see seemed to far surpass those of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

At the top floor of the Azure Flame Holy Tower, in a spacious hall, Saine followed Luluman and met his Sixth Uncle-Master Hoffs, as well as many of his disciples and grand-disciples.

Speaking of which, although Saine has only just broken through...

He was only a first-level disciple, but because his mentor was Luluman, he held a very high seniority within the lineage of the Azure Blaze Grandmaster.

The disciples of the Fifth Senior Uncle and Sixth Senior Uncle Uncles totaled more than twenty, all of whom were Formal Magician of level one or above, with the Strongest among them having reached level three.

This includes their disciples, as well as those they have taken on as disciples.

For example, there was a Second-Level Magician Maris present, who was a disciple of Fifth Uncle-Master Andres of the Saine family.

According to the seniority system within the sect, this extremely young Second-Level Magician still has to call Saine "Martial Aunt"...

The disciples and Azure Blaze Cuilisi this time are at least Formal Magician like Saine.

It is foreseeable that within this lineage, there must also be grand-disciples at the level of magic apprentices.

It's just that they weren't brought here by their two senior brothers.

Since both Fifth Senior Uncle and Sixth Senior Uncle served as academy deans at the Azure Flame Holy Tower, their disciples and grand-disciples were quite familiar with each other, and most of them were registered Mage of the Azure Flame Holy Tower.

On the contrary, Saine, an outsider, appeared extremely unfamiliar among his disciples and followers.

Master Luluman went to talk to her Sixth Senior Uncle, a middle-aged man with black hair who looked much younger than her Fifth Uncle-Master Andres.

Furthermore, Luluman would be going to meet her master in person soon, so she naturally had no time to take care of Saine now.

According to what Master Luluman said before she left, it was to let Saine and his fellow disciples from the Azure Flame Holy Tower get to know each other.

Unfortunately, Saine is a quiet person; forcing himself to fit in with others and socializing with strangers is not his forte.

He had no interest in cultivating these interpersonal relationships.

So much so that after Luluman left, apart from the few fellow disciples who had introduced themselves to him at the beginning, he was left with no other disciples.

As for the vast majority of other people, Saine didn't even exchange more than a few words with them.

Standing listlessly in a corner of the hall, just as Saine was holding the Crystal Ball and pondering the design of his Magic Staff, a woman in a white dress appeared in front of him.

"Senior Brother Saine, are you an alchemist?" the young first-level female Mage, wearing Crystal Shoes and a white dress, asked curiously.
