Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Vivian’s Studies_1

"After the Spirit Summoning Ceremony, you and I are in a parasitic relationship. Going forward, I need to continuously draw magic power from you to anchor and maintain my soul form in this world. This body cannot withstand too high a level of magic intensity, but using some small spells is no problem."

Canary looked at Mu You and said, "Also, the range for supplying magic power is one hundred meters, so you’d better not let me leave your side by more than one hundred meters."

"Is that so..."

Mu You was stunned, he instinctively asked: "What if, I mean just what if, you accidentally get more than one hundred meters away from me and you also use up all the magic power stored in you...what would happen? Would you go straight back to the Star Spirit World?"

"Return to the Star Spirit World? How is that possible."

Canary shook her head: "I am just a trace of residual soul remaining after my body’s death. Even my form needs to be maintained by parasitically absorbing others’ magic power. How could I posses the strength to return?"

"Then you..."

"I will simply fade away..." said Canary.

"Ah..."

Mu You was shocked, he never expected that the spirit summoned by the Spirit Summoning Ceremony, Vivian, was in such a one-sided parasitic relationship with him.

What truly surprised Mu You was not the result, but the other party’s courage. She was willing to put her life and death entirely in the hands of another person, what kind of trust was this?

"You don’t have to find it strange, as I have mentioned, I am just a remnant soul without a body or feelings. The only significance of my existence is to help my original body complete its legacy. Ever since the day I handed you the Black Magic inheritance, my mission had already been accomplished. Death for me, is rather a kind of release. However, it was your persistence at that time which made me temporarily change my mind and decide to stay in this world for a while."

"..."

Mu You was silent. Only now did he realize deeply that the entity standing in front of him was not a complete person, but a remnant soul that no longer cared about life or death.

As she said, death was a release for her, and that’s why she could resolutely entrust her soul to others.

Actually, he should worry about life and death instead of her. After all, she’s not afraid of death and even looks forward to it. On the contrary, if she vanished, Mu You would lose a nearly omniscient teacher.

This kind of heavy loss was unacceptable to Mu You. Therefore, he had to be careful in the future, always being aware of Canary’s position, and trying not to get too far apart.

Shaking his head, Mu You suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "By the way, do you know the formula for the Evolution Elixir?"

"Evolution Elixir... why do you ask?" Canary glanced at him.

"Uh, well..."

Mu You had no choice but to briefly describe the previous incident at the Secret Techniques Association.

"So that’s how it is, you are rather bold, daring to accept a potion you’ve never heard of..." Canary looked at him strangely.

"Fortune favors the bold..." Mu You rubbed his nose awkwardly, admitting that he was gambling, then anxiously looked at the bird, waiting for her answer. If even Vivian didn’t know, he would really be dumbfounded.

"A mere Evolution Elixir, of course I know..."

The other party’s answer made Mu You’s eyes light up.

But before he got excited, the second half of Vivian’s sentence came: "...However, you have to complete the tasks I arranged for you first, then I will consider teaching you."

"What task?" Mu You paused.

Without answering, Vivian extended one wing and drew it in mid-air.

Accompanying her movement, an invisible zipper seemed to open in the air in front of her, revealing a hidden separate space inside. The space was not large, only the size of an ordinary room, but it was full of bookshelves and various books.

"You can casually open up space?!" Mu You looked at Canary in shock, but she had said she can’t cast high-powered spells, hadn’t she?

"Is it really that outlandish? It’s just a common spatial bag." Canary stated.

"But... this..." Mu You was even more puzzled. She mentioned a spatial bag, yet he hadn’t seen a bag anywhere. She had clearly just pulled a hole open in the air.

"There’s no need to make a fuss, it’s just a simple application of the shapeshifting spell."

Canary shook her head, "The so-called ’spatial bag’ isn’t about having a whole world inside a bag, but rather having an entrance node in a different space. To put it simply, the truly important part is the spatial node that serves as the entrance. The bag is just a decorative item to hold the node. As long as the bag’s shape is transformed into a spatial singularity and bound inside oneself, you can open the bag anywhere, anytime."

"There’s such a usage?"

Upon hearing this, Mu You was elated and quickly asked, "Could you teach me the ’shapeshifting spell’, then?"

If he mastered this spell, he wouldn’t need to carry a bag with him everywhere. He could directly bind the bag within himself, open it wherever he wished, and others wouldn’t even be able to see it. How convenient!

Vivian gave him a glance, "Do you think teaching magic is as simple as that?"

"Eh, it isn’t possible?" Mu You paused.

"To bestow magic to another person, the spell level must first reach LV5 and above. Also, each time the spell is transferred or copied into a magic scroll, its level drops by one. Only through a specific magic lectern can one transfer magic to another without downgrading, and it isn’t immediate. You’d need to teach the principles for the student to understand on their own."

"LV5..."

Mu You paused, all his magic was stuck at LV2, he couldn’t get any of them to LV3 and getting to LV5 was even more far-fetched. Especially if transferring magic would cause a loss of one level each time.

Now he finally understood why the magic scrolls in the Star Spirit World were sold at such high prices. To think that the spread of magic was so tricky...

"As a remnant soul, I don’t have a completely intact magical circuit to support. All the magic passed down from my original body will permanently remain at LV1. I am now just left with some self-defense power. So, you can stop dreaming about me passing on magic to you." Vivian stated.

"Alright then..."

Mu You was helpless. To have a massive magic treasury right before him yet unable to learn anything, what a pity!

As Mu You was deep in thought, Canary waved her wing, and a stack of thick books flew from the shelves of the space and neatly piled in front of Mu You.

Vivian pointed at the books, "These are my notes from when I was studying Magic Potions Study. What you need to do now is memorize all the content."

"Memorize? All of them, every single book?" Mu You’s eyes widened.

"Yes, all forty-two books covering the six branches of Magic Potions Study. The first two describe Spirit Plants, the third and fourth on Magic Beast materials, the fifth and sixth on other natural materials, the seventh to thirteenth are on magic array designs, the fourteenth to the twentieth on energy control, and the rest are all about the mechanics of magic potions."

Upon finishing, Vivian added, "And I should remind you, these notes have been modified with Space Magic. Their capacity is a hundred times that of ordinary books."

"Ah... when can I finish memorizing them all then?" Mu You grimaced, though he expected Magic Potions Study to be difficult, he didn’t think the basic knowledge alone would be so terrifying. How long would it take for him to memorize all this!

"Given your current Intelligence Value, without slacking off, you can probably memorize a book in about a year." Vivian estimated.

"One book a year, that would take forty-two years to finish all of them..."

Mu You was stunned, well then, compared to studying Magic Potions Study, what’s ten years of arduous studying, right?

"On the contrary, for you, it should only be a matter of seconds."

Vivian glanced at him, "I won’t push you too hard either. Memorize seven books every day, and in six days, you should have memorized all of them. This is the homework I’m assigning to you. If you manage to complete it, on the seventh day, I’ll teach you about the Evolution Elixir."
