“Magic power has been liquefied! Its quantity has decreased, but its destructive power has become more terrifying!

“Spiritual power has also greatly increased!

“Seventh-Grade Magician!

“I am now a high-grade Magician!

“A Great Magician!”

Meng Lei was extremely excited as he kept looking at his attributes.

Magic cultivation often required diligent meditation, slowly improving every day and night, and years of research. This was much more difficult compared to Battle Aura!

It was a process of accumulation and consolidation for Magicians before the seventh grade. The power they could unleash was limited, and they generally were no match for a Warrior.

But when they reached the realm of seventh-grade, the situation was completely different. At this stage, the Magician could instantly cast third-grade magic, releasing shockingly powerful advanced spells. Their damage output would be much more than Warriors of the same grade!

Because of this, a Seventh-Grade Magician was much more precious than a Seventh-Grade Warrior. Kingdoms would generally award titles to Seventh-Grade Magicians, making them noblemen and granting them territories!

There was no such treatment for Seventh-Grade Warriors.

One could see the vast difference in treatment!

“I’m going back to the capital city now. If I’m lucky, who knows, I might become a Baron, haha!”

Meng Lei was very satisfied with today’s harvest—570,000 gold coins, countless treasures, and a spatial magic device worth 30,000,000. It could be said that he had made a fortune.

This trip to the Magical Beast Forest was worth it!

“However, if I want to continue my progress, I will need even more gold coins.”

For Physical Body Constitution, 34,877 Attribute Points were required to advance from seventh-grade to eighth-grade, which translated to 340,000 gold coins!

Spiritual Power required 390,000 gold coins!

Magic Power also required 390,000 gold coins!

Adding the three together, he required a total of 1,120,000 gold coins.

,120,000 gold coins!

Meng Lei currently only had 1,000,000 gold coins. This was not enough!

This was of secondary importance. Meng Lei could easily raise the difference by selling his magic cores, gems, magic devices, and other things in his possession.

The main concern was—what was he to do after that?

The advancement from seventh-grade to eighth-grade already required a lot of gold coins. What about eighth-grade to ninth? And from ninth to Saint Domain?

How many gold coins would these need?

,000,000?

,000,000?

Or... even more?

Meng Lei did not have the answer. But one thing was certain. The more one progressed, the more they needed. The amount may exceed his imagination.

“Not enough! Far from being enough!”

Meng Lei let out a suffocating breath. That wisp of joy in his heart also disappeared. He felt that he had an arduous task, and the road ahead was long.

“Make more money! I need more money!”

Meng Lei ventured deeper into the Magical Beast Forest without any hesitation.

“There’s a Magical Beast at one o’clock!”

“Ding! Ghostly Spirit Cat killed, 3,200 gold coins gained!”

“Another Magical Beast at four o’clock!

“Ding! Horned Rhinoceros killed, 8,300 gold coins gained!”

He continued to venture deeper. Although the Magical Beasts were getting scarce, they were stronger!

Fourth-Grade Magical Beast!

Fifth-Grade Magical Beast!

Sixth-Grade Magical Beast!

Meng Lei advanced deep into the forest and finally reached the area where the Sixth-Grade Magical Beasts were. By then, the night had quietly fallen, and the Magical Beast Forest was gradually shrouded in darkness!

“It’s getting dark. I have to find a safe place to spend the night.”

Most of the Magical Beasts hid in their nests during the day and hunted at night. Hence, the Magical Beast Forest was much more dangerous at night than during the day!

Because of this, the night was a great opportunity to hunt for Magical Beasts. However, Meng Lei was unable to continue. After a day of running around, he was already very tired and needed a rest to replenish his strength and energy.

Nevertheless, in the depths of the Magical Beast Forest, he could not let down his guard.

Now that it was night, where would be a suitable place to rest?

Meng Lei released the magic carpet and hovered over the forest, looking for a suitable place to camp. As he was high up in the air, he was able to see far and managed to find a spot.

“That canyon looks good!”

A long and narrow crack appeared in the sea of trees ahead as if someone had cut through it with a knife. It was a canyon sandwiched between two big mountains.

“Let’s head over there to take a look.”

Meng Lei activated the magic carpet and flew over quickly. Within a short while, he had reached the top of the canyon and saw a gurgling stream flowing from the canyon’s depths. The vegetation on both sides of the stream was extremely lush.

If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t be able to find it.

Meng Lei followed the stream and flew all the way into the depths of the winding canyon. At times, it was narrow, but at times, it was spacious, extremely inconsistent. As he got deeper, his field of vision gradually widened.

At the deepest part of the canyon, a huge pool appeared in front of him. White mist drifted above the water surface, giving off the appearance of a fairy cave.

The mist looked like a scene from a dream.

“This is... a hot spring?”

While hovering in the air, Meng Lei could feel a sense of warmth on his face, which made him overjoyed. Clearly, there was a hot pool below.

“If it’s really a hot spring, that will be great!”

Meng Lei landed on the water and stretched out his hand. A warm current that was able to soothe his muscles and bones traveled from the water, permeating his skin. It was extremely comfortable!

“This hot spring... fits the bill!”

After a tiring day, it was a great blessing to be able to encounter such a hot spring. Afraid that even Hui Xialiu1 could not resist it, Meng Lei gave off a cry, took off his magic robe, and plunged in without hesitation. He groaned in comfort as the hot spring water moistened his skin.

“What the heck! It’s too hot!

“However... not enough.”

Given the water temperature, an ordinary person would definitely be boiled and become a red-skin pig, but Meng Lei was different. His body was comparable to a Seventh-Grade Warrior, and he possessed the bloodlines of the Fire Dragon and Fire Demon. He was completely not afraid of heat.

Water at 70–80°C was no different from this hot spring!

“Haha, nice!”

Meng Lei opened up his arms and kicked his legs as he swam around the pool. The speed was enough to embarrass the fish and cause the toad to hang itself.

“Flip-flap, flip-flap” sounds echoed as the water splashed around in all directions!

Boom, boom, boom!

First was freestyle, which had the fastest speed.

Next was the energy-saving breaststroke.

Followed by the beautiful butterfly stroke... Forget it, he did not know how to perform it!

After a round of wild bombardment, Meng Lei lay on his back in the water and closed his eyes. He felt the wonderful feeling of the water gently touching his skin and the warmth sweeping across his whole body. Not to mention, all of this was simply amazing.

One way to describe it—very satisfying!

Crash!

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

There was a deafening sound of water exploding, and a huge black figure suddenly jumped out of the water. It opened its big black mouth as it charged toward Meng Lei!

“What the hell?”

Meng Lei only felt a stench through his nose. Before he could react, he was swallowed by the black figure!

Gurgle~

Gurgle~

Burp~

The black figure burped contentedly and shook its head. It then dived back into the water, as if it had never appeared in the first place!
