Chapter 160: Mentor and Assessment
"This..."
Hearing his mentor's words, Benjamin was startled.
Unfazed by his reaction, Clark directly extended the Space Expansion Bag in his hand a little farther toward Benjamin.
"It's not as exaggerated as you imagine. They're merely some surface-level research, probably enough to help you get across the pit in front of you."
"And this isn't free. Wizards value equivalent exchange—you'll have to pay me points!"
Benjamin instinctively took the Space Expansion Bag. Opening it, he found stacks upon stacks of papers and crystal panels inside.
They were densely covered in runes, formulas, analytical diagrams, and all kinds of handwritten annotations.
These manuscripts contained the painstaking research of a Level 6 wizard over hundreds of years. Their value was beyond measure.
Holding this weighty gift, Benjamin could not help feeling moved.
He understood all too clearly the value of such core research materials.
Under normal circumstances, no one would ever sell core research like this externally, especially knowledge involving plane-level or even higher-level laws.
They were often a wizard's most essential wealth, the very foundation upon which they stood.
Although Mentor Clark had named a rather high "price," making it clear that these manuscripts were not free—
Benjamin knew very well that if this price were placed on other wizards, even Level 2 or Level 3 wizards, it would be enough to leave them bankrupt.

"What?" Clark cut off a piece of flesh glowing with a ghostly blue
