No solution

A faint glow flashed on the door of the magic testing room at the Wizard Academy, indicating that someone outside was waiting.

Raymond, who had just awakened from his meditation, rushed over immediately and opened the door.

"My God! You saw that thing again?" Master Edgar's worried face rushed in the moment the door opened. He grabbed Raymond's arm and infused his spiritual power into Raymond's body to begin examining him.

It was indescribable at this moment. Raymond only felt that Master Edgar's wrinkled old face suddenly shone with a holy light.

"It's okay, no erosion from the spirit." As a faint aura left Raymond's body, Master Edgar's expression eased.

Without Master Edgar asking, Raymond immediately described the situation at the time, especially the scene where the little girl's face emerged from the parchment, which made Raymond shudder while describing it.

"Trouble!" Master Edgar frowned, let go of Raymond's arm and paced around the testing room. "She actually talked to you. This is not a good sign!"

Master Edgar then explained that this spirit had existed in the academy for many years, but talking to people like this was unheard of in his memory.

And for such incorporeal spirits, even the old dean of the Red Swamp Wizard Academy had no good way to solve it and could only let it wander around the academy.

"Great Mentor Edgar, even you are powerless against spirits," Master Edgar finally told Raymond worriedly. "Remember not to cast spells if she appears in front of you frequently. She hasn't hurt anyone in so many years."

Raymond's expression grew uglier and uglier. At this point, he was really choked with sobs.

He had hoped that Master Edgar's arrival would have a solution, but this result was not what Raymond wanted.

"My dear disciple, the great mentor Edgar came out early for you," seeing Raymond's ugly expression, Master Edgar's old face turned red for once, and he immediately changed the subject. "Did you get the materials for the Naga clan I mentioned last time?"

Very speechless, Raymond could only lead Master Edgar back to his residence and hand over the prepared materials. "Master, these materials were intercepted for you without the Trading Tower knowing. Don't let the academy know."

Raymond hurriedly instructed Master Edgar, fearing that this arrogant and conceited old man would spread the news about the Naga clan materials, which would cause big trouble for Raymond.

"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Checking the materials Raymond handed over without looking up, Master Edgar laughed loudly. "The great mentor Edgar will definitely keep the secret!"

Master Edgar's appearance, patting his chest, made Raymond even more worried, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no better way to solve it. He could only hope that this arrogant old man would stay in his laboratory and do more experiments.

After inspecting the materials, the very satisfied Master Edgar was impatient to go upstairs, but as he walked out the door, he suddenly turned back and stuffed a seed the size of a thumb into Raymond's hand. "Take it, this is the improved seed prepared by the great mentor Edgar for his direct disciple!"

With the seed stuffed into his hand, the excited Master Edgar quickly condensed a memory orb and threw it to Raymond. "After you successfully advance, this improved seed will greatly increase your defense!"

Somewhat excited, Master Edgar checked Raymond's condition again with his spiritual power and then solemnly told Raymond again that this seed must not be cultivated until after he officially advanced to a wizard.

"As the direct disciple of the great mentor Edgar, remember to tell the old man issuing the materials when you go to the academy to get the advancement materials that you must not give you inferior potions," Master Edgar patted Raymond on the shoulder and instructed him."That old man has always liked to embezzle!"

Hearing this, Raymond smiled bitterly and told Master Edgar about his experience at the Wizard Academy's logistics department.

Raymond still resented the scene of the old man in the department defeating his magic spell.

"What!" After listening to Raymond's account, Master Edgar suddenly became furious and burst out cursing. "That old bastard knows you are my direct disciple and still dares to defeat your magic spell in person?"

"Lack of strength, I have disappointed you, Master." Out of nowhere, Raymond blurted out, "Maybe my strength is too insignificant."

"Old bastard!" Master Edgar cursed angrily. "When you successfully advance, the great mentor Edgar will take you to find him!"

After saying that, Master Edgar left directly, leaving Raymond in the room.

The incomprehensible result left Raymond speechless, looking at the seed and memory orb in his hand and not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

More than half a month had passed since Raymond was last in the room. A thin layer of floating dust covered everything. Knowing that he currently had no other way to get rid of the spirit of the little girl in the red skirt, Raymond still feared her.

Sighing, Raymond put away the seed given by Master Edgar. But after Raymond received the information from the memory orb, his expression became surprised.

It turned out that this seed was a mutated abyssal bamboo, a rare and famous plant in the underworld.

Tough, sturdy, and bloodthirsty!

The introduction to this seed in Master Edgar's memory orb was also shocking.

When abyssal bamboo is in its infancy and integrated into the body, it will greatly increase a first-level wizard's defense. And this magical plant that can continue to grow in the body will have a long-term impact on the wizard, almost like an innate spell.

Carefully putting the seed into his waist pouch, Raymond knew that abyssal bamboo seeds were simply unavailable for purchase, let alone improved ones. Raymond had only seen introductions of them in the academy library.

Only the arrogant and conceited Mentor Edgar could casually throw out such a seed.

However, cultivating this plant must wait until Raymond advances to an official wizard before attempting to integrate it. If he integrated it now, the rare and dark abyssal bamboo would cause Raymond's body to be unable to withstand the erosion of the dark power and explode directly.

Somewhat moved, Raymond sighed. "This arrogant old man has also taken good care of me..."
