Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Magic Cottage
After learning the Mistral’s Magic Cottage spell at the Saint Villia Library, Li Wei holed up in the Celestial Realm for the next few days, focusing on his cultivation of the magic while he waited for Victor to deliver the finished Purple Crystal Source Secret Medicine.
After two days of relentless effort, Li Wei finally mastered the basics of the Mistral’s Magic Cottage spell.
For the past two days, he had been diligently cultivating in the dreamscape.
Thanks to the eightfold time acceleration,
it was as if he had been cultivating the spell for over half a month.
Normally, even accounting for the accelerated time in the dreamscape, it would only take Li Wei a few days at most to master the basics of a spell.
Yet, Mistral’s Magic Cottage had taken him a full half-month.
This just went to show how difficult it was.
[Mistral’s Magic Cottage (Tier Six Mastery)] 1/2000
Back in the real world, Li Wei cast the magic.
His consciousness soared infinitely, breaking through the heavens and crossing the Star Realm.
He arrived in the dimension of spacetime where the Divine Realm resided.
This dimension was endless, with no end in sight.
Li Wei looked around, only to see a few incredibly dazzling stars hanging high in the Void.
That was the Divine Realm.
Although his consciousness had reached this dimension, he was still countless miles away from the true Divine Realm.
It was a distance that could not be crossed by flying alone.
Following the casting requirements for Mistral’s Magic Cottage, Li Wei’s consciousness selected a point in the Void and left a spacetime anchor.
He poured all his mana into the spacetime anchor.
The spacetime anchor expanded rapidly, transforming into an independent spatial bubble in the blink of an eye.
The amount of one’s mana determined the size of the spatial bubble.
Soon, Li Wei’s mana was depleted, and the spatial bubble expanded to its limit.
It became a cubic space, ten meters in length, width, and height.
Li Wei regarded the Magic Cottage before him with satisfaction.
His consciousness returned to his body.
After drinking a Mana Recovery Potion and restoring some of his mana,
Li Wei cast the Mistral’s Magic Cottage spell again.
A door appeared before him. He opened it, and on the other side was the Magic Cottage he had just created in the dimension of the Divine Realm.
No matter where he was, he could open a door and return to this safe Magic Cottage.
This was because the Magic Cottage was located in the Void of the Divine Realm’s dimension.
Without its spatiotemporal coordinates, it was nearly impossible for anyone to find it.
Thus, the Magic Cottage could be considered an absolutely safe place.
Originally, the Magic Cottage was not located in the same planar dimension as the Divine Realm.
Later, after Mistral ascended to godhood and entered the Divine Realm, she moved the Magic Cottage’s location to this dimension, further enhancing its concealment and security.
Even a Divine Spirit would have difficulty finding the inconspicuous Magic Cottage within the vast, boundless Void of the Divine Realm.
The Magic Cottage was now complete.
Li Wei left the Celestial Realm and headed to Valen’s estate.
It was time to move the Dragon Blood Tree into the Magic Cottage.
"Master Valen, I’m here to take the Dragon Blood Tree," Li Wei said.
"Mm, the Dragon Blood Tree was always yours. You don’t need to ask me for it," Valen said.
Valen paused for a moment, then asked, "How has your Master been lately? I heard some things happened in Maple City."
Li Wei faltered at the question. After a moment of hesitation, he replied, "My Master is doing well. You don’t need to worry, Master Valen."
Valen nodded and said, "That’s good. I wonder when Torresta will have time to come see me at the Elemental Tower."
Li Wei asked with some curiosity, "If you want to see my Master, why don’t you go to Maple City?"
Valen smiled. "Perhaps we’re both just too busy."
"That’s true," Li Wei said. "Oh, by the way, Master Valen, I forgot to mention—my Master said he’d be leaving Maple City for a while. He’s not sure when he’ll be back. So if you plan on visiting Maple City, please let me know first. I’ll ask him if he’s returned yet."
Valen nodded. "I see."
"Did he tell you what for?"
Li Wei shook his head. "No."
’Torresta had already disappeared.’
’Even if Valen went to Maple City, he wouldn’t be able to see Torresta.’
’All I had to do was use the excuse that Torresta had left Maple City.’
’Besides, no one else knew that Torresta had vanished.’
’Even the Mages at the Maple City Mage Tower only knew that something had happened on the sixth and seventh floors of the Mage Tower.’
’They didn’t know the specifics.’
’If Martin, Komas, and the others didn’t hear from Torresta for a long time, they might start to suspect something.’
’But I already have a solution for that.’
Li Wei left Valen’s study and went to the rear courtyard.
Diana was standing at the courtyard entrance. After bowing, she asked, "Mage Li Wei, do you need my help?"
Li Wei shook his head. "Thank you, but that won’t be necessary."
He walked into the courtyard and approached the Dragon Blood Tree.
He cast the Object Control Skill, lifting the Dragon Blood Tree from the ground, roots and all, along with the surrounding soil.
He first stored it in his Spatial Ring.
Returning to the Celestial Realm, Li Wei opened the Teleportation Gate to the Magic Cottage.
Once inside the Magic Cottage, he took the Dragon Blood Tree out again.
’Damn,’ he thought, slapping his forehead as he looked at the Dragon Blood Tree lying on its side. There was no soil in the Magic Cottage, and the little bit clinging to the roots wasn’t nearly enough to plant it.
So, Li Wei simply went out, dug up an entire mountaintop, and moved the earth and rock into a corner of the Magic Cottage.
Elfa noticed that Li Wei hadn’t come to Sunrise Peak to cultivate in a while.
So, he headed toward Sunrise Peak himself.
When he reached the summit of Sunrise Peak, he was stunned.
The summit of Sunrise Peak was gone, leaving only a huge pit.
"HOLY SHIT! Who the fuck dug up Sunrise Peak?"
Elfa was utterly dumbfounded.
’It was one thing for Li Wei to occupy Sunrise Peak for his cultivation.’
’But who was this that just destroyed Sunrise Peak entirely?’
’He had completely lost an excellent cultivation spot.’
Li Wei righted the Dragon Blood Tree and released Saint Xi from the Beast Taming Ring.
Inside the Magic Cottage, he didn’t have to worry about Saint Xi being discovered by people from the Light Divine Sect.
Saint Xi happily zipped about the Magic Cottage.
All that time cooped up in the Beast Taming Ring had nearly driven her stir-crazy.
After being resurrected, Saint Xi had become very active.
It was a far cry from when she was the Little Bone Dragon, back when she could lie motionless under the Dragon Blood Tree from morning till night.
Saint Xi nudged Li Wei’s arm, raised her head, and looked at Li Wei with her huge eyes. "When are we going to find the Time Dragon’s treasure?"
She, too, was impatient to grow stronger.
Li Wei patted Saint Xi’s head and said with a smile, "After I finish up things here, we’ll go to the Arctic Icefield."
"Alright, you’ll stay here for a while. It’s much more spacious than the Beast Taming Ring."
"AWOO! Okay."
Saint Xi happily flew to the Dragon Blood Tree and perched on a thick branch.
The Holy Giant Dragon’s aura permeated the Dragon Blood Tree, making it grow even more vibrant and causing it to emanate a faint, sacred presence.
Li Wei left the Magic Cottage. Just as he closed the door, the Communication Crystal in his pocket began to vibrate.
’He’s here.’
