Return to the Peak

After returning to Moduolong Island, Saine's schedule and routine returned to the way they had been at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

In fact, Saine has been on the move for the past few years.

From the Green Source Land, spanning a significant portion of the Wizard World.

During this time, they traveled at high speed, took boats, used Teleportation Array, and even used the Dragon Turtle Bixi as a means of transportation before finally arriving at the Black Domain of the Western Islands.

Even though he was stranded in the City of Steel for a year and a half, Saine still traveled to many places during that time.

As a Mage with a rather introverted personality, Saine doesn't particularly like his lifestyle of the past few years.

He still preferred to quietly conduct experiments in the Holy Tower Laboratory, pursuing his own Truth Dao.

To some, this kind of life is boring and tedious, and may even drive people crazy over time.

But Saine likes this kind of life, or rather, he's gotten used to it.

Exploring the unknown is indeed exciting, but Saine instinctively resisted it.

This is a man who appears strong on the surface, but whose heart has actually quietly closed itself off.

So, exactly when did Saine close himself off from the world?

On Moduolong Island, Zorro's original intention was to build another Magic Tower for Saine.

Although they were taught by the same mentor and received similar alchemical knowledge, their skills were quite similar.

However, Zorro and Saine developed different alchemical styles and directions due to their respective experiences and beliefs.

Saine is currently more skilled at crafting small alchemical items such as Magic Staff, Magic Necklace, and Magic Ring.

Both the Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff and the Space Collar that Saine made for Yuli are among his proudest creations in recent years.

Meanwhile, Zorro, Saine's senior apprentice, gradually shifted his focus in the path of alchemy towards the creation of large-scale Magic Guidance Equipment and some crude, practical magical devices.

Zorro has several blueprints and related magic array bases for things like Magic Tower.

Some of these drawings were left to him by Moxidu, while others were designed by him himself.

Saine hadn't expected his senior to show such expertise in this area.

In fact, the development paths of Saine and Zorro reflect their different living environments and personal needs. Zorro spends most of his time in the resource-poor Black Domain, so his alchemical research is more pragmatic.

With limited material reserves and surrounded by powerful figures, Zorro simply couldn't afford a high price for failure.

Some crudely made but highly successful and practical magical items are more popular in the Black Domain.

Meanwhile, Saine sought smaller, more refined, and stronger magical equipment.

It certainly looks better than what Zorro made, but no one can ignore the massive resources and effort that Saine had to put into it.

Among Level-1 Magician, almost no one can compare to Saine in this regard.

Even among Second-Level Magician, few are as extravagant as Saine.

Before Saine could even respond to Zorro's suggestion to build a Magic Tower for Saine, his senior sister Fei'er rejected the idea on Saine behalf.

"Let Saine stay with me for a while. My brother and I haven't seen each other for over thirty years, and I have a lot to say to him," Fei'er said.

After Senior Sister Fei'er expressed her opinion, Saine also mentioned. "Given her current condition, Senior Sister still has a great chance of breaking through to the ranks of Formal Magician."

"If I stay Saine's side, I can take care of my senior sister as much as possible and help her advance to the next level."

After hearing Saine's answer, Zorro glanced back and forth between Saine and Fei'er before nodding in approval.

"Indeed, I'm not very good at teaching others... If you need anything, just contact me directly. My Crystal Ball Communication will never be turned off," Zorro said to his junior brothers and sisters.

After giving the two a few more instructions, Zorro turned and flew towards his Magic Tower.

After Zorro left, the atmosphere between Saine and Fei'er became noticeably more relaxed and free.

This may be because they had the most intimate relationship they ever had.

Even though Fei'er's body doesn't really support that kind of thing right now, there's definitely more than just a brother-sister relationship between the two of them.

Although he was temporarily staying at Fei'er's Magic Tower, Saine still opened up another floor in the basement of Fei'er's Magic Tower as his private experimental space.

After all, the experiments that Saine had and the experimental equipment required a considerable amount of space.

From the perspective of a magic apprentice, Fei'er couldn't understand some of the experiments involving Saine.

In particular, the Body Tempering Experiment with Azure Flame and modifying the Azure Fire Eye Mask...

Mage conducting experiments is a very solitary activity. Saine's senior sister, Fei'er, isn't as considerate as her Cousin Serena.

When we first started living together, it was indeed a bit difficult to get used to.

However, Saine showed great tolerance towards Fei'er in this regard, and Fei'er later rarely bothered Saine's experiments that she couldn't understand.

Therefore, life gradually calmed down.

A qualified Mage is a master of time management, able to precisely allocate their time to each hourglass.

While Saine may not be able to achieve that level of success with his senior sister Fei'er, he is already making orderly progress toward his established goals.

Compared to Zorro, Saine is indeed better at teaching others.

It's also possible that having the example of teaching his Cousin Serena before, Saine was more adept at answering Fei'er's questions.

After living with Fei'er, it had only been a total of six months.

Fei'er's Mental Strength and Magic Power power values have significantly improved, reaching around 87 points.

Unfortunately, her physical condition didn't change much. She was too old and her body was too fragile, Saine didn't dare to use the methods of Azure Fire Body Tempering on her.

It is estimated that we can only consider related matters after Fei'er advances to the next level and her Life Source Power is further enhanced.

87 points of Mental Strength and Magic Power power are not enough to support Fei'er in breaking through to the first level.

According to convention and the data recorded in the Holy Tower Library, although Mental Strength of 70 points or more can be classified Quasi-Magician, in order to truly reach the level of breaking through to level one, magic apprentices must raise their Mental Strength to at least 90 points.

In this ratio, magic apprentices with Mental Strength of around 95 points have a higher chance of successfully breaking through to level one.

The success rate drops to around 90 to 95 points.

If you rashly attempt to break through to the first level when the index is below 90, it's not just a matter of success rate; it's playing with your life and future.

During his conversation with Fei'er, Saine learned that when Fei'er last attempted to break through to the first level, her Mental Strength strength was 93 points.

This is a number that just barely meets the passing grade.

However, after her failure to reach level one, the backlash from both her Mental Strength and Magic Power caused these two stats to plummet to below 80.

It took more than ten years to recover and slowly return to around 80 points.

In just six months, it has climbed back to 87 points, which is already a remarkable achievement.

At this rate, there is indeed a high probability that Fei'er will reach the Formal Magician Realm.
