Chapter 48: Advancement

He looked around guiltily and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one around. He looked at Winterfrost in front and frowned. This was just a small city. His master was so powerful, so why had he placed his family here?

Hmm, he should be living in seclusion, a reclusive Divine Mage? Hmm, although I have become his servant, it should be a blessing in disguise!

With this thought in mind, Karuman entered Winterfrost.

At the same time, after the time limit for the Spirit Demon Talisman was over, Romo returned directly to the ancestral tablet of the family clan. He was very satisfied with his gains from the night. First, he had finally gone out to have fun. This had made his mood much better. After all, he had been trapped here previously and had been very depressed. Now that he had gone out to have fun, he was in a much better mood. Also, he had resolved many of the previous troubles. The greatest gain was having a level-4 Great Archmage as a servant. In the future, he could leave many things to this servant to do. This would save him a lot of trouble. Furthermore, the other party was, after all, a Great Archmage driver who could help him protect the family clan. He could easily dismiss ordinary enemies and even teach the descendants of the family clan. In short, the benefits were great.

Romo then opened the System and started checking the rewards given by the System after he had completed the mission earlier. First, there were 10 Super Experience Talismans. These were good stuff that could increase his strength, so Romo used them immediately. Now that Romo’s strength was already at the peak of the Spectral Spirit realm, after using one, a powerful force immediately poured into his body. He felt as if something had been pierced, and a powerful force kept surging out.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching level-1 of the Spirit Demon realm.]

Romo had successfully advanced to the Spirit Demon realm. He saw that the runes on his body were even more mysterious. Wave after wave of white, cold air kept surging out from his body. Then, Romo used all the other nine Super Experience Talismans. The System notifications sounded consecutively. Romo advanced all the way to level-4 Spirit Demon before stopping. Feeling the powerful strength in his body, Romo was satisfied. If it had not been for the System, it would have taken at least 20 to 30 years for him to advance to his current realm. But now, only a month had passed, and he had already reached this realm. Even if he told others, they would probably not believe him. Unfortunately, even though he was already so powerful now, he still could not leave the ancestral tablet where he was currently residing.

Romo then looked at the 50 luck points which he was free to distribute as he wished. Romo directly added all the luck points to the luck for magical power.

[Ding… Family Clan’s luck level has increased to Level 3!]

[Ding… Received a Grade-3 Family Clan Luck Gift Bag.]

Just as Romo had finished adding the points, the System notifications sounded. Romo thought for a moment. It was time for the family clan’s luck level to increase. Previously, he had reverse-plundered Saruman’s luck, and then the family clan’s luck level rose to level-2. This time, he had plundered all the luck of the Grimm family clan. Originally, it was almost enough to level up, but now, he had added another 50 points. It would be strange if it did not level up. Romo immediately opened his gift bag.

[Ding… Magical Luck +5 for all members of the Nicholas family clan.]

[Ding… All members of the Nicholas family clan have comprehension ability +10.]

After hearing the System notification, Romo was very happy. The increase in the luck for magical power and comprehension ability could increase the cultivation speed of the descendants of the family clan, allowing them to increase their strength faster. Then, Romo continued to look at the other rewards.

[Personal Luck Strengthening Talisman: It can strengthen the luck of a descendant.]

[Special Talent Development Talisman: It can develop a descendant’s special talent.]

Romo looked at the two tools. They were both tools for nurturing descendants. Romo thought for a moment and decided to use both of them on Ron. Now that there were not many tools, it was better to concentrate all the resources available to nurture Ron. When he became strong, he would be able to help him in turn.

With this thought, Romo’s gaze passed through the layers of separating walls and saw Ron. Currently, Ron was meditating in his room. The others were basically sleeping, except for Ron, who was still meditating. He had replaced sleep completely with meditation. Romo nodded. He was indeed someone worthy that he had thought highly of and had spent so much effort nurturing. He had not disappointed him. In the entire family, he was the most hardworking.

Romo then took out the two tools and used them on Ron one by one. He saw two faintly discernible rays of golden light pouring directly into Ron’s body. Ron, who was meditating, suddenly felt as if he had changed somewhat, but also as if he had obtained nothing. In any case, it was a very magical experience. He could not say what it was exactly. Could it be that the Old Ancestor was doing something again? He could not figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to meditate.

Hmm, this sharpness is not bad either. I have just used two tools on him to increase his luck level by one level and also to increase his talent for alchemy. These two are just talents; they are not as obvious as the increase in strength. They will only be effective passively. However, Ron can still sense some changes. This is very rare.

It looks like I should teach him more. With my help, he has advanced from a level-5 Mage to a level-5 Great Mage in less than a month. He has advanced so many levels in one go, so he must have many questions. I can help to clarify them.

Thinking of this, Romo immediately bought a Dream Appearing Talisman and used it directly.

Currently, Ron was meditating, and his state of meditation was actually similar to that of deep sleep. Otherwise, he would not have been able to substitute his state of meditation for sleep. Therefore, when Ron was meditating, Romo could also use the Dream Appearing Talisman to pull him into a dream.

Ron, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and even the fragrance of the soil. He frowned immediately. Wasn’t he in his room? Why was there wind? And the fragrance of the soil? He opened his eyes and was instantly shocked. He was not in his room. He was in a small pavilion in the mountains, and in front of him, there was an old man in white robe with his back facing him.

He became excited when he saw the other party. “Old Ancestor?” Ron called out hesitantly. He was not sure of the other party’s identity. After all, his back was facing him.

“Haha, how is it, Little Ron? How’s the scenery here?” The other party turned around and smiled at him as he spoke.
