After all, what Wang Ye examined wasn't just the existing books about magicians.

Every time Wang Ye went to the ruins of the Zhou Residence, he would retrieve some things from there and study them.

Later on, Wang Ye extracted not just one item, but focused on previous viewpoints on the way of the magician.

This means that Wang Ye understood both the past and present aspects related to the magician's path very clearly.

Moreover, Wang Ye discovered many current viewpoints differing from past ones.

These require Wang Ye to judge through experimentation whether the previous or current beliefs are correct.

Although history usually eliminates mistakes, Wang Ye doesn't completely agree.

While reading, some questions don't require experimentation and can be deduced mentally.

During his deductions, Wang Ye found that his ideas were indeed correct.

"So, what do you plan to do next?"

Zhou Ke felt a bit anxious hearing Wang Ye's words.

Having studied those texts thoroughly, Wang Ye hadn't advanced to Second Rank Sorcerer, suggesting he currently lacks the capability.

Otherwise, based on Zhou Ke's understanding of Wang Ye, he would have concurrently sought advancement while explaining things completely.

"I feel that simply viewing and understanding this knowledge is just a channel for acquiring knowledge. To truly turn this knowledge into one's own, experimentation is necessary."

Wang Ye's words made Zhou Ke nod in satisfaction.

However, progressing towards Third Rank Sorcerer or Second Rank Sorcerer requires more than just methodical experiments based on books.

Additional assistance is needed.

Such as accumulated experience over time.

"Chairman Zhou."

In Zhou Ke's furrowing of brows, Wang Ye's voice sounded again: "Where are the places with the most magicians gathered? I want to visit there and learn a few things in passing."

"Southward, Nine Dragon Mountain."

Without a moment's thought, Zhou Ke immediately uttered the name.

This name is deeply imprinted in magicians' minds.

Even Zhou Ke doesn't know the origin of Wang Ye's previous magician-related knowledge.

When discussing magician-related topics, Wang Ye answered fluently in basic and other aspects, even surpassing Zhou Ke at times.

But Wang Ye was unfamiliar with some magician locations.

Regarding this, Wang Ye remained silent, prompting Zhou Ke not to ask too many questions.

"Alright, then I will head over to Nine Dragon Mountain to conduct some experiments."

"In this way, I can quickly elevate my magician knowledge to Second Rank Sorcerer status."

In Wang Ye's opinion, he had already advanced to First Grade Peak Cultivator, so reaching First Grade Sorcerer wouldn't be a major issue.

Yet, during this time, Wang Ye realized that achieving First Grade Sorcerer is indeed more challenging than First Grade Peak Cultivator.

Perhaps Wang Ye reached First Grade Peak Cultivator so swiftly due to numerous fortunate opportunities.

Wang Ye lacked major opportunities during his magician studies.

Even when opportunities arose, they merely deepened his understanding.

They didn't significantly elevate Wang Ye.

"But..."

Zhou Ke hesitated, saying:

"Even using our Wei City Mage Guild's fastest flying ship, reaching Nine Dragon Mountain from here would take ten days."

"Round trip, you would only have ten days left. If any delays occur during these ten days..."

Even without further elaboration, Wang Ye understood Zhou Ke's concerns.

Should Wang Ye encounter delays en route, he couldn't return to Wei City Mage Guild in time for the competition, rendering his skills futile.

However, Wang Ye was unfazed, smiling at Zhou Ke.

That smile reminded Zhou Ke of Tian Hailin's confident expression when inquiring about questions.

Almost identical.

Zhou Ke realized his concerns directly involved Wang Ye's expertise.

Indeed, Wang Ye soon replied:

"It's fine; it's no big deal for me and easily solved. Remember, I'm now a First Grade Peak Cultivator; my speed far exceeds that ship's. For me, it's only about a ten-day journey."

"I knew it."

Zhou Ke sighed helplessly.

But deep down, he felt relief.

Soon.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Ke, Wang Ye departed.

Wang Ye refrained from disturbing Tian Hailin, who was delving into another project, opting instead to leave directly.

...

Shuiyuelou.

Ning Mei was no longer the oiran of Shuiyuelou she once was.

With the Qian Family exiled by the Ice Snow Dynasty, the Wei City Mage Guild stood behind Shuiyuelou now.

Or rather.

The Ice Sect.

The saint son of the Ice Sect, Wang Ye!

Though Ning Mei no longer served as the oiran, Shuiyuelou's business thrived even more than before.

Scholar gentlemen brought magician-related books to read at Shuiyuelou.

Some magicians also visited, teaching the scholar gentlemen.

This allowed exchange among magicians and admiration from the scholar gentlemen.
