Despite Roderick ' repeated invitations, Leo refused each time, always feeling that the burly dean in front of him had ill intentions.
When someone gives a gift, they must have something in mind.
After countless attempts to feign deafness and muteness, Roderick said helplessly to Leo, "Master, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard has sent a message and wants to see you."
"Please lead the way, Dean."
Leo breathed a long sigh of relief, finally finishing the tedious work. Now he just wanted to finish his talk with the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard and leave as soon as possible.
Roderick led Leo to the teleportation array within the academy, which could directly connect to the demiplane of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. Benji was not qualified to teleport there, so only Leo and Yaoyao were there.
After a brief teleportation, Roderick led Leo and Yaoyao to a desolate demiplane.
Leo was immediately stunned by this demiplane, and Yaoyao rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Leo had been to the demiplane of the Purple Flame Stigmata Wizard, which contained an army of countless Fire Elemental Spirit; it was practically an ocean of flames.
Here, not a single life can perceive it.
Not only were there no animals, but there weren't even any plants. Leo subconsciously tapped the ground with the other end of his Godslaying Staff. He could only sense a very faint energy aura from underground, so faint that Leo suspected this was a dead land.
Even in the demiplane of the God of Giants Kampas, there is abundant lightning energy, but here, even breathing desperately, you can't absorb more than a few drops of energy.
This is a dead end, devoid of energy!
Who would be so kind as to live in such appalling conditions?
Is it possible that a level six Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, is so poor that he can't even afford or obtain a decent demiplane?
Leo secretly observed Roderick, who was leading the way, out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that his expression showed no surprise, it seemed that the situation here had always been the same.
After walking for a while in the demiplane, they saw the imposing figure of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. There was no luxurious palace, nor any slaves to serve him. The thousand-meter- Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard sat quietly on the barren land, watching Leo and the others approach like a mountain.
"The great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, Master Leo, has arrived." Roderick bowed to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
"I have met the great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard." Leo respectfully.
Once again, feeling the pressure of a level six power up close, even though the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had concealed all his energy, his powerful physique was like a high-quality planet, attracting everything around him.
His body, like a black hole, absorbed everything—energy, sunlight, the dim light of stars.
So when Leo wanted to see if he could see the face of this Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard after his advancement, he could only see an energy body compressed to the extreme. When his gaze fell on him, all he saw were intermittent, distorted, misty light clusters.
Leo instantly understood why this demiplane was so barren; all its energy had been drained by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
It's likely that not only the energy on the surface was drained, but also the energy underground. He alone absorbed all the energy, killing this demiplane.
"I am glad you came." The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard did not open his mouth, but instead vibrated the air in a resonant manner to form a sound.
His level was far too high, so high that the difference between them was like that between two different life forms. Whether it was Leo or Roderick, they were like insects in front of him. He could crush them if they weren't careful, and they couldn't even open their mouths to speak.
Fortunately, his long lifespan allowed the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard to find a way to communicate with lower life forms.
"I have come to keep my appointment. I humbly request the great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard to enlighten me about the function of the Stone of Indestructibility."
"No problem."
A crystal ball suddenly appeared in front of Leo. Leo stared at the crystal ball in bewilderment.
The price of the deal wasn't even mentioned; he immediately offered what he wanted. Is the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard really that generous?
For a moment, Leo was almost incredulous.
However, at the suggestion of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, Leo still placed his hand on the crystal ball.
In an instant, a small amount of knowledge flooded into his brain, and Leo realized that this was not what he had thought at all.
The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard before them had only given a brief Stone of Indestructibility.
This is only a small part of the introduction to the Stone of Indestructibility. It only states that the Stone of Indestructibility is a product of a high-level energy burst combined with nature, possessing extremely unique and highly suitable properties for Body Refinement Wizard. To learn more, please spend money...
No, to learn more, please continue to communicate with the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard.
Leo: "..."
Do you want to curse? A dignified Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard, resorting to such tricks!
But after reading the brief introduction to the Stone of Indestructibility, Leo's heart became even more unsettled; he had to understand the function of this thing.
The limited knowledge revealed by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard successfully piqued Leo's interest.
"Great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, I desire all knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility. Please state your request."
"If you need energy crystals, I have 10,000 left, which I can give you all. If that's not enough, I can pay in installments, as long as the total value doesn't exceed 100,000. If you need some materials, I also have quite a few here."
As Leo spoke, he was about to open his Shadow Space and take out all the valuables for the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard to choose from.
"No materials or energy crystals are needed. All you need to do is stay in my academy and teach those apprentices for a hundred years to acquire all the knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility."
Just as he feared, this happened. Leo was already on guard against Roderick, but upon hearing the words of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, he instantly understood everything. So this was what was waiting for him all along.
Hearing Roderick's barely suppressed laughter, Leo's face immediately fell.
"I want to change the terms of the exchange," Leo said dejectedly.
"If you think a hundred years is too long, then I can teach you until the next expedition begins." The voice of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard rang out, without even mentioning Leo's desire to change the terms of the exchange.
Leo's lips twitched. This was the seller's market. As long as he had a thirst for this knowledge, he would agree to any demanding conditions.
As for the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard's statement about the next expedition mission, Leo could only say that he still had 85 years until the next expedition mission, which was no different from a hundred years.
"Great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, I don't believe that knowledge about the Stone of Indestructibility warrants such a long period of instruction from me; it's not a worthwhile deal for me."
Leo straightened his body, leaning on the Godslaying Staff, the three wizard medals gleaming on his chest.
"Your strength is indeed extraordinary for Elemental Wizard. How about we add 50 energy crystals to your annual compensation?"
Leo: "..."
Looking at the self-proclaimed Level 6 Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, who was seriously discussing salary with him, Leo was once again so frustrated that he had nothing to say.
Did this gentleman not understand what I meant?
While fifty energy crystals a year is indeed a high price, do I really need those energy crystals?
He gets 240 energy crystals a year just from medal subsidies!
"Great, Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, I cannot agree to this condition. I have no time to linger here. I have just advanced and have not yet stabilized my strength. I need to return to my wizard tower as soon as possible."
Leo glanced at Dean Roderick beside him and, no longer bothering to hide anything, said directly, "Moreover, I can sense that you don't simply want me to teach those body-refining apprentices; after all, any Elemental Wizard could easily handle such a task."
"I sensed danger while you were hiding it from me, so I'd rather go back and study the properties of the Stone of Indestructibility myself than make a deal with you who were intentionally concealing your secrets."
"Haha, you spotted it! You're such a sharp little guy."
Laughter echoed in the air from the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and Roderick, standing beside him, gave an awkward laugh and repeatedly apologized to Leo.
Leo lightly tapped the ground with his Godslaying Staff. Did he need keen intuition to find this? Any wizard with a normal brain would have noticed.
After encountering Ren Jialun, Level Three Body Refinement Wizard, in the Sword of Winter, Ren Jialun repeatedly tested the waters after mentioning the title of the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard. The aura emanating from Ren Jialun didn't seem like fighting spirit, but rather a defensive posture.
If Ren Jialun's reaction doesn't prove anything, and it can be simply described as an instinctive reaction to a stronger person, that would be a passable explanation.
Upon arriving at the Undying Body Academy, Leo could clearly sense a tense atmosphere in the air. Coupled with Roderick' repeated invitations to stay, this went beyond the normal attitude one would show to an Elemental Wizard.
All these signs combined, how could it possibly be for an elemental teacher who could instruct apprentices in elemental knowledge!
Leo believed he was different from ordinary Elemental Wizard. The fact that a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard and Level Three Body-Refining Great Wizard made multiple requests and even traded knowledge using the Stone of Indestructibility could only mean that they valued his strength.
Simply put, they need to deal with some enemies and opponents that are inconvenient for them to intervene in themselves!
Such an enemy or opponent is definitely very strong and not the kind that is easy to deal with; otherwise, they wouldn't have put so much effort into dealing with them.
The idea of teaching apprentices elemental knowledge is just a superficial excuse!
