Chapter 375: Xinyue Continent

After confirming the subsequent manpower transfer matters with Lulansi and Weijinsi, Luoning took Aierlong and left Wushan Castle.

On the way back to the Wubei Territory, the two first made a trip to the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce branch in Wushan Town.

Upon learning that there were only twenty stalks of Fury Flame Grass in stock, Luoning waved his hand and swept them all away, while simultaneously purchasing forty stalks of Dream Dew Flower and twenty fully-charged Magic Crystals according to the required ratio.

The Fury Flame Grass cost 400 gold, the Dream Dew Flower 200 gold, and the Magic Crystals were 100 gold each at a discounted price.

Luoning spent a total of 18,000 gold coins on this procurement!

Fortunately, he had accepted the 100,000 gold coins gifted by Lulansi; otherwise, he would have been worried about money after this haul.

The main ingredients for making the Auxiliary Enhancement Potion were now in hand, and once Jennie finished making the Pure Water Essence, he could attempt to produce them.

If calculated at a one-hundred-percent success rate, this amount of magic ingredients could produce 200 bottles of Auxiliary Enhancement Potion suitable for Advanced Knights.

However, there is no such thing as a one-hundred-percent success rate in this world; even the most proficient Magician in potion-making could not guarantee it.

According to the experience in Aierlong's memories, having a 50% success rate at the beginning was already quite good.

Even if it increased to 80% later with higher proficiency, it would still be very rare.

In a situation where the Auxiliary Enhancement Potion is first used by one's own people rather than sold, this would be a loss-making project for Along time.

But you can't catch a wolf without risking your child.

Luoning hoped that the several Advanced Knights in his territory would see some results after taking it.

Interestingly, two days after Luoning left, Milosilafu returned to Wushan Town.

His first priority was to check how much Fury Flame Grass and Dream Dew Flower remained in stock.

On one hand, it was to make Magic Potions to alleviate the Soul Devouring Surge in Aosen's body, and on the other, to try and deduce the Magic Potions Luoning might be making.

Yet, the result he received was being told that all the Fury Flame Grass had been bought by Luoning.

The old dean froze on the spot, and only after Along while did he laugh and scold: "This kid, he didn't ride that guy Lulansi's Thunder Chasing Beast just to get here ahead of me, did he?"

He shook his head, "I am not an elder who likes to snatch resources from the younger generation."

Helpless, he could only urge the people in the Chamber of Commerce to restock quickly. In the future, these two types of magic ingredients would certainly not lack sales.

"I have to spar with Lulansi in three months, so I must take this time to properly study various methods."

Having been a Great Archmage for so many years, Milosilafu had not truly fought in Along time, and many combat techniques had become somewhat rusty.

He planned to "review" them well over these two months, then go to Black Python City in the final month to discuss business, and then head directly to Wushan Castle.

Setting aside the situation with Milosilafu, after Luoning sent Aierlong back to Zhaozebao, he flew non-stop to Anbian City.

It was now the 3rd of the new year, and Luoning had consumed all his Attribute Points; his current Knight Rank progress had reached the full state of the Meteor level, and his Magician level progress had reached Great Archmage (2867/6000).

Besides that, his Energy Essence had reached 8120 points.

This trip to Anbian City was to raise Ruidar's strength to the Silver Moon level.

"How is it?"

In the Shanlin behind Anbian Castle, Ruidar was closing his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body.

Luoning could not help but look at the other's Attribute Panel:

【Ruidar Main】: Silver Moon Knight · Fire (0/10000)

Going from Meteor to Silver Moon only required four thousand Energy Essence, but going from Silver Moon to Sun required a full ten thousand points, more than doubling it.

Ruidar slowly opened his eyes; at this moment, his red hair appeared even more vivid, as if he had come bathed in flames.

Hum—

The air trembled, and Ruidar stepped out with surging Battle Qi; now he could walk directly through the air, achieving brief levitation.

This was the mark of the Silver Moon level, and also the strength of a Knight at this level.

Besides this, a Silver Moon Knight could also sense the "Consciousness Wheel" at the center of their brow; as the name suggests, this is related to the mental Sea of Consciousness.

In reality, a Silver Moon Knight's physical cultivation has already reached a bottleneck, and at this stage, they begin to lean toward the improvement of Mental Power.

Using Battle Qi to break through the Consciousness Wheel is a process that helps Mental Power grow.

It is said that when the Consciousness Wheel is broken, a Knight can open up the Sea of Consciousness, which leads to a Mana Space, and their Mental Power surges to the level of an Advanced Mage.

A Knight at this stage is also a Magician.

Likewise, when a Level 8 Magus breaks through the "Qi Wheel" to become a Great Archmage, the Magician is also an Advanced Knight.

Luoning was somewhat curious, wondering if, when cultivated to the end, Knights and Magicians all reach the same destination by different routes?

He suddenly remembered Franz, whom he met at the Kingdom Martial Arts Tournament; the other's great-grandfather, Beiluola Xierwa, had required Franz to cultivate both Battle Qi and Magic to Level 6 first, and then choose a preferred direction to practice.

Did this involve the secret to becoming a Legendary?

After all, there was no detailed account of how to become a Legendary; even Luoning, born into a Marquis family, or Blanche of the royal family, knew nothing about it.

But if it really had to do with becoming a Legendary, Luoning's current dual cultivation of magic and martial arts seemed to be walking exactly the path Beiluola spoke of.

"Thank you for your bestowal, my lord; I have gained much from this improvement!"

Ruidar's words pulled Luoning out of his thoughts.

After some questioning, he learned that Ruidar, like Aierlong, had awakened Along segment of memories.

In his memories, not only did Shadow Lord Elliott appear, as well as the place name of the final battle, Flame Canyon, but he also remembered the name of that continent—the Xinyue Continent.

A continent shaped like a crescent moon.

"Xinyue Continent?"

Luoning muttered this name; he had never heard of it, and the books Blanche had found did not mention this name either.

"Is it a continent outside of Aoerlante?"

"I think... there is a high possibility!"

Ruidar pondered and said: "In my memory, there is a place more vast than the Xinyue Continent, named the 'Star Continent'; perhaps that is the current Aoerlante Continent?"

Luoning agreed with this statement.

Perhaps it was only after the First Emperor of the Aoerlante Empire unified the Star Continent that the name of the continent was changed.

It was just that Luoning found it a bit strange; if there really were two continents and they had once had contact with each other, why had that contact been severed now?

Was it related to that battle with Ruidar and the others?

Could it be that the Xinyue Continent had been sunk?

Luoning prepared to ride Kaierluosi out to sea when he had some free time to wander around and see if there might be any unexpected gains.

Immediately after, the two of them chatted about Ailioute.

Just like Aierlong's memories, Ailioute and her servants were exactly the same as Natalia and the others in the Mysterious Valley.

This also fully confirmed that the Mysterious Valley was indeed something left behind by Ailioute.

"Besides memories, I also recalled a Secret Tome and a Battle Technique."

Ruidar introduced: "The 'Burning Heaven Secret Canon'; those with strong Fire Attribute affinity can cultivate it. By circulating Battle Qi within the body in a special way, one can refine the purity of Fire Attribute Battle Qi, and when combined with the secret technique 'Burning Heaven Flame', it can bring about immense power!"

Although this set of Secret Tome and secret technique was Ruidar's specialty, it was clear that Luoning also met the conditions for learning it.

Having had the experience of being at a disadvantage in the battle against Ramsey last time, he deeply understood the importance of mastering secret techniques.

He immediately asked Ruidar to transcribe them over the next two days so that he could attempt to master them on the way to the Amethyst Count Territory. (End of chapter)
