Chapter 322: Torresta and the Legendary Lich

Chapter 322 Torresta and the Legendary Lich

The next day, Levi moved into the realm of Mingtian.

Before leaving, Levi stripped the Dragon Blood Tree bare once more.

The Dragon Blood Tree felt as though it was nearly drained dry.

Levi left a drop of refined blood from the Dragon Heart to sustain the tree's life.

He felt that continuing like this was not a solution.

He had to find a way to help the Little Bone Dragon undergo Impure World Reincarnation; once it became a true dragon, he could achieve freedom with dragon-blood plants.

There were still four materials needed for the Little Bone Dragon's Impure World Reincarnation.

Dragon Heart, Blood Soul Flower, Fresh Dragon Corpse, Dragon Soul, Poisonous Dragon Saliva, Goddess Tears.

Levi already knew the whereabouts of two of the materials.

The fresh dragon corpse lay within a secret realm called Falling Dragon Slope.

The Dragon Soul was likely sealed on the seventh floor of the Mage Tower in Maple Leaf City.

Both the Poisonous Dragon Saliva and Goddess Tears remained unknown, and they did not sound like simple items.

Levi found himself quite troubled.

Even knowing the locations of the first two materials, obtaining them would be a difficult task.

For some reason, after acquiring the Impure World Reincarnation ritual, Levi always sensed something suspicious about it.

Why were half of the materials required for the ritual related to Maple Leaf City?

Levi suspected that the powerful mage who slew the dragon at Falling Dragon Slope was the legendary mage who had not yet transformed into a lich.

Then what role did Torresta play in all this?

Levi could not figure it out.

Originally, he thought he understood Torresta, knowing his past.

But now it seemed he knew nothing of his teacher's history.

He only knew that in the past, Torresta had been a member of the Phantom Spirit Tower.

Levi felt perhaps it was necessary to visit the Phantom Spirit Tower.

To gain a deeper understanding of Torresta's past.

When Levi left, Valen also came out to see him off.

He asked curiously, "Valen Mentor, how did you come to know my teacher back then?"

Valen showed a look of reminiscence.

He said, "Long ago, when I was still a young mage, I encountered Torresta outside."

At that time, he was not strong either; we traveled together and experienced many things.

Later, he went to the Phantom Spirit Tower, while I spent some time at the Alchemy Tower before transferring to the Element Tower.

Coincidentally, there was an exchange of students between the Phantom Spirit Tower and Element Tower that year, and Torresta visited the Element Tower for a while.

During that time, I was very confused; Torresta gave me great help and encouraged me to become a Magic Puppeteer.

A long time has passed, and I barely remember the events of those days; without Torresta's support, I fear I would not have become the famous Magic Puppeteer others see today.

I think in terms of magic puppets, Torresta's achievements surpass mine, though he is more skilled at creating magic puppets through spells."

Levi's heart stirred, and he said, "Illusion Form Technique?"

Valen nodded, "Hmm, he must have taught you."

Levi casually cast the Illusion Form Technique, creating an illusory object.

A vibrant rose bloomed in the palm of his hand.

It looked lifelike.

Valen glanced at it and smiled, saying, "It seems Torresta did not misjudge anyone; you truly inherited his mantle."

Levi felt somewhat strange and asked, "How many years have you known my master?"

Upon hearing this, Valen paused for a moment.

He frowned, pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said, "I can't remember too clearly, perhaps forty or fifty years."

Levi furrowed his brows, feeling something was slightly off.

Forty or fifty years?

Forty or fifty years ago, the Legendary Lich should still have been slumbering in the ancient battlefield. How could Torresta be connected to the Legendary Lich?

Did he encounter something at the Element Tower?

Levi asked, "When my teacher came to the Element Tower back then, did anything happen?"

Valen recalled; events from forty or fifty years ago were hard for even him to remember clearly.

Mages possess powerful mental strength, are knowledgeable in all things, and can record much knowledge.

However, the passage of long time will erase everything.

Memories will also become blurred.

After a long while, Valen finally said, "It seems some things did happen."

He slapped his head and said, "I remember now; back then, an undead riot erupted within the Floating City, a group of undead appeared out of nowhere causing significant casualties."

In that battle, the Mage Tower also captured the Rock Demon Beast that had transformed into a mountain-sized beast and imprisoned it."

Levi's expression shifted.

Indeed, had his teacher also had contact with the Legendary Lich?

It seemed Valen did not know the specific details either.

Valen said, "After the riot occurred back then, Torresta returned to the Phantom Spirit Tower; later it was heard that shortly after, Torresta left the Phantom Spirit Tower and went to the remote Northern Border."

Levi was ninety percent certain in his heart that Torresta was linked to the Legendary Lich.

Valen said, "I also heard of one thing; originally, the Phantom Spirit Tower actively expelled Torresta, but until now, the Phantom Spirit Tower has not directly answered this rumor."

Levi's expression shifted again, sensing something suspicious within it.

What happened after Torresta returned to the Phantom Spirit Tower from the Element Tower?

To the extent that the Phantom Spirit Tower actively expelled him?

Valen shook his head and said, "Let's not worry about these things; anyway, until now, the Phantom Spirit Tower has not made an explanation for what happened back then."

"Speaking of which, it's strange; Torresta's status in the Phantom Spirit Tower was equivalent to a student in the Purple Class of the Element Tower, yet for some reason, he kept being targeted by the Phantom Spirit Tower."

Levi was somewhat surprised; there was such a thing?

Valen said, "Do you want to know what actually happened before? You can just ask your teacher directly; he should tell you."

Levi helplessly chuckled in his heart.

He merely wished to keep Toresta unaware that he was probing into his past.

For Levi harbored doubts regarding the connection between Toresta and the legendary Lich.

Since arriving at the Elemental Tower, far too many coincidences had unfolded.

From this, it struck him as somewhat suspicious.

As though every event had been meticulously orchestrated.

Levi found such a sensation most distasteful.

"Thank you, Mentor Valen, for clearing up my doubts; you need only escort me thus far. Farewell, Mentor."

"Farewell. Do return and visit whenever you find the time."

Levi took up residence within the Realm of Singing Skies.

That afternoon, Levi paid a visit to the Hall of Truth.

Upon seeing him, Fionlides offered congratulations on his admission to the Violet Tier.

To see him arrive at the Hall of Truth so soon filled Fionlides with delight.

He believed that even after joining the Violet Tier, Levi had not forgotten his thirst for magical truths.

Yet it turned out Levi had come merely to borrow the Alchemy Laboratory.

This left Fionlides profoundly disappointed.

Levi sought to steady Fionlides and retain his status as a member of the Hall of Truth.

He promised Fionlides he would perfect the Radiance Spell model within a year.

Reassured by Levi's pledge, Fionlides cheerfully escorted him to the Alchemy Laboratory.

Nor did he fail to express concern, telling him to voice any needs he might have.

He feared not that Levi would ask for nothing, but rather that he would have no demands at all.

With demands in hand, Fionlides could leverage Levi to assist with tasks.

Levi spent three days within the laboratory brewing sufficient Elixirs of Vitality, preparing for a month-long cultivation regimen ahead.
