Chapter 684: Are You Willing to Cooperate with Me on This Experiment?

“...Mm, okay. Then I'll be over in a bit.”

After communicating with Yi Rui and her group, I prepared to leave.

After I delivered the Crystallized Fireball Spellbook and left that time, they also left that place, planning to collect materials outside of Ninglan New City.

They were not low-grade students and did not have a final exam, so they didn't need to worry too much.

Even if the academy announced that the Expansion Realm would be closed at the end of the semester, they could return at the fastest speed.

So, even near the end of the semester, they had only returned from afar to the Ninglan area.

However, they were currently not in Ninglan New City, but were instead at another Sanctuary, looking for novel materials.

They told me that they were temporarily resting at the Sixth Sanctuary, and the Sixth Sanctuary... was currently the most chaotic Sanctuary.

This Sanctuary had received help from many Witches of the Witch Academy and other Sanctuaries, and was finally built through their combined effort.

Therefore, many of the Teleportation Channels here primarily belonged to the Beast Academy, as well as some students from the Dragonblood Academy and the Dwarves.

It was completely a hodgepodge.

It was difficult to maintain order.

Precisely because the students inside came from various academies, conflicts could easily break out.

Moreover, the majority of the population here were the extremely volatile students of the Beast Academy, weren't they?

And after the Sixth Sanctuary was completed, it became the first Sanctuary where the student population outnumbered the Sanctuary residents by a large margin...

It couldn't be helped.

Besides the Witch Academy and the Top-tier Academies, other academies basically had no "human rights," and even less say in matters concerning the Expansion Realm.

After learning the location of Yi Rui and her group, I didn't plan to linger.

The Sixth Sanctuary... I hadn't been there much.

It was a good opportunity to see the world.

It wasn't just the Sixth Sanctuary; I had basically never been to the other Sanctuaries either.

But just as I was preparing to depart from Ninglan New City, I stopped at a certain spot in the city.

“Hmm? Witch Cat Cafe? What's going on?”

I looked at this obviously newly opened shop.

The very characteristic font on it indeed told me that this was the same Witch Cat Cafe that was highly regarded in the Witch Academy!

“No way... Dana opened a Witch Cat Cafe in Ninglan New City?”

I lightly walked inside, wanting to see if there were any Fool's Dream girls inside, but at this moment, a cat walked up to me with light steps and rubbed against my calf.

“Big... Big Sis Little Han? Are you Big Sis Little Han? Welcome to the Witch Cat Cafe!”

At this moment, a student at the front desk noticed me and recognized me.

“Yes. I was just a bit curious. Was this Witch Cat Cafe also opened by Teacher Dana?”

I bent down and picked up the clingy kitten, then looked at the student at the front desk and asked curiously.

“Well... yes, but Teacher Dana herself didn't come. She just posted a mission for people to open a Witch Cat Cafe on her behalf in the Expansion Realm. I heard she also posted a mission in the Calamity Shelter, but it seems no one has taken it yet.”

“So that's how it is.”

I stroked the kitten's small head, then asked, “Right, do you have any Fool's Dream girls here to prepare the Fool's Dream Drink?”

“Fool's Dream? Sorry... we don't have any Fool's Dream girls assigned here yet. The Fool's Dream girls are truly highly sought after. Even the Witch Cat Cafe in the Witch Academy doesn't have enough to allocate, let alone here... Moreover, the Fool's Dream Drink also requires a stable supply of raw materials and so on.”

“I see. Alright.”

“Then, Big Sis Little Han, do you need...”

“No need. I have something to do. I was just passing by and was curious to take a look. I'll come back for a drink when I'm free.”

After returning the clingy kitten, I left Ninglan New City.

Yi Rui and her group shared their coordinate location with me through the Great Seed of Knowledge, so I wouldn't need to search for long at the Sixth Sanctuary.

However, the distance between the Sixth Sanctuary and Ninglan New City still surprised me a little.

Although both were Sanctuaries within the Ninglan area, recalling the distance between the Second Sanctuary and Ninglan New City back then was enough to realize how vast the Ninglan area was.

Even with so many people from the Transcendent Academies expanding outwards to their limit until they were overwhelmed, this was the size of the Ninglan area.

Of course, the reason they were overwhelmed... was also related to my modification of the Mutated Beasts.

The area covered by the Ninglan area was not just wherever they reached; it required infrastructure construction and protection.

As I rushed along, I could see many buildings, but there was still a considerable distance between the Sanctuaries.

And these intervening transition zones also showed signs of continuous urbanization, with many areas already designated as construction planning zones, and so on.

When I arrived at the Sixth Sanctuary, my first impression of this city was... wild, yet it did not lack modern elements.

The combination of these two made for a unique flavor.

This Sanctuary was an open-access Sanctuary, meaning there were no entry procedures or formalities, and the public order inside relied entirely on self-discipline.

No wonder they said it was chaotic here.

Even before entering the city, I had already seen many people with Beastman features busy here.

Instead, I, a Lesser Witch with a human appearance, seemed a little out of place here.

After appreciating the appearance of these Beast-people for a while, I headed toward the coordinates.

The further I walked in, the more I discovered that the development of this city was truly fast, to the point that one would forget that this was actually a "Sanctuary."

The coordinates seemed to be in the most prosperous, central part of the Sixth Sanctuary.

But even calling it the most prosperous probably only referred to the buildings, but the people here... that was debatable.

The first thing that I couldn't stand was... the Beast-people's lack of hygiene.

Spitting everywhere was already considered a very "friendly" unethical behavior.

And up until now, I hadn't seen any public restrooms, so one could imagine...

However, their behavior also created a unique job—it was barely considered providing employment opportunities for the Sanctuary residents?

If they didn't mind the work...

I notified them before arriving at the location.

So, when my figure appeared at a high-end hotel, I saw several familiar figures.

“Hi Little Han! Over here.”

“I'm here.”

Seeing that Yi Rui had personally come down to welcome me, I quickly stepped forward.

“I didn't expect you to come over so quickly, Little Han?”

“Yes, after all, I have something to find you all for.”

I walked forward, greeting the crowd, but I was still a bit overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of these girls.

“That’s great But what exactly is the matter you are referring to? You didn’t explain clearly in the communication.”

“Well It's not convenient here, and the matter can't be explained clearly in a few words, so let's go up and talk.”

I waved my hand, indicating that there were too many people and eyes here, so we had to go up first.

After exchanging pleasantries on the way upstairs, I arrived at the multi-person suite they were staying in.

Based on what I learned during the ascent, they had booked the entire top floor, as their club had quite a few members.

I must say, these people usually kept a low profile, but their financial power was truly terrifying.

Of course, the reason they booked the top floor was also to facilitate their experiments there without being disturbed by outsiders.

“I'm so jealous; you really know how to enjoy yourselves.”

I looked at the luxurious furnishings and couldn't help but exclaim.

“Those of you who are free, come quickly Look who I've invited.”

At this moment, Yi Rui directly called out, and many people came over after hearing the commotion.

“Huh? It's Big Sis Little Han!”

“What? Big Sis Little Han is here?”

At this moment, many people rushed over to join the fun after hearing Yi Rui call out my name.

After greeting each other, they led me to the open-air terrace with the best view outside.

The terrace here was designed as a huge rooftop garden and entertainment facility.

There was also an infinity pool near the edge.

No wonder one of the people who greeted me earlier was wearing a swimsuit and was still damp.

Upon arriving here, I also used a Transformation Spell to change from my casual wear into a slightly more revealing outfit.

“A Transformation Spell? What a convenient spell. It's a pity it's rarely seen in the academy.”

Yi Rui exclaimed, seeing me change my clothes with a snap of my fingers.

She had considered learning this spell before, but this spell was related to one's attire.

Without the stable guarantee of a spellbook, they knew very well how unstable a Transformation Spell cast bare-handed was.

“If you asked your mentor for this spellbook, she should be able to make one for you, right?”

I asked curiously.

“Forget it. It's not a spell I really want. No need to trouble my mentor over it. When I achieve Transcendent Witch status, I'll make whatever spellbook I want myself!”

After all, they had now been exposed to technology related to True Editing, but they couldn't use it yet before advancing to Transcendent.

“Right, Little Han, since you're here, can you tell us what the matter is now?”

Yi Rui asked again at this moment.

It was clear that she was still very curious about the reason for my sudden visit.

As Yi Rui asked this question, the rest of the group also didn't leave but gathered around curiously.

After all, they had also witnessed my ability, especially that Great Seed of Knowledge, which was a Sequence Derivation of a Grand Spellbook!

This was the first time they had seen this kind of Sequence Derivation.

“Simply speaking might not be clear enough, so let me demonstrate a technique to explain my intention.”

I contemplated for a moment and said.

“A technique? What technique?”

“Quick, quick, quick. Did Little Han have another inspiration that's not a Sequence Derivation? Which spell is it derived from?”

“Just watch Little Han's demonstration. Little Han wouldn't specifically come over for just a spell derivation, would she?”

Yi Rui tried to calm the overly excited crowd.

“Actually, the technique I want to demonstrate is very simple.”

I said, extending my hand.

A surge of Magic Power erupted from within my body.

That's right, I was demonstrating the technique for condensing a Magic Power Source.

And the few people in front of me... as spell researchers, they had a profound understanding of runes, spell rituals, spell frameworks, etc.

Furthermore, they also needed to autonomously guide Mental Power to release spells, so their familiarity with Magic Power was self-evident.

At first, they didn't know what this was, and were curious about why I wasn't building a spell framework but was instead continuously surging Magic Power to construct an unknown ritual.

But as the Magic Power gradually moved beyond the visible plane, the energy reached True Time, and the unknown ritual condensed, everyone was stunned.

Only Yi Rui reacted first!

Little Han was condensing a Magic Power Source!

No... not sure... let me see again.

But they all tacitly chose not to ask directly.

And I continued my operation.

The Magic Power Source itself was an energy anchor on the True Time plane, so ordinary people couldn't see the Magic Power Source unless a special container or medium carried it.

But students who could enter the Transcendent Academy all had Spirit Vision, even if the lowest level was Foresight.

They didn't need a very profound Spirit Vision level; they only needed complete mastery of the Spirit Vision talent to consistently touch True Time, and then they could see the state of the Magic Power Source.

Seeing this moment, even the slowest person realized what was happening.

I was making a Magic Power Source bare-handed! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In their cognition, the Magic Power Source was something only Transcendent Witches could independently acquire.

It was like a spellbook—something they were not qualified to manufacture on their own!

The silent atmosphere lasted for a while until I broke the silence myself.

“Alright, completed!”

I placed this Magic Power Source into my own body.

At this moment, everyone finally reacted.

“Little Han... that... that was a Magic Power Source? You can actually make a Magic Power Source bare-handed? Did you advance to Transcendent Witch?!”

Yi Rui was the first to react and asked.

“Just kidding. That was indeed a Magic Power Source, but I have not advanced to Transcendent Witch. So... that's the problem, and also one of the reasons I came to find you all.”

I glanced around at everyone and began to guide the topic toward the area I desired.

“This is why you came to find us? You succeeded in condensing a Magic Power Source? But... but...”

“I heard my mentor say that we can't condense a Magic Power Source before advancing to Transcendent Witch... Did my mentor lie to me?”

“My mentor said that too...”

“Your mentors certainly didn't lie to you. Normally, you cannot condense a Magic Power Source without advancing to Transcendent Witch, but first, you must understand how this conclusion was reached!”

I also reassured everyone, continuing to guide the topic and throwing out a question to encourage their thought process.

Why can't one condense a Magic Power Source without advancing to a Transcendent Witch?

“This... I don't seem to know.”

“I don't know either. My mentor didn't tell me. I think I asked... but didn't get a response.”

“I don't think it's too late for me to text my mentor now...”

“Since you are all unclear, let me explain it to you.”

Seeing that they were all quite clueless, I stopped keeping them in suspense.

“First, it must be acknowledged that your mentors were not technically wrong, because the condensation of the Magic Power Source is a branch project under the Great Witch Project, and theoretically, only Transcendent Witches can achieve it.”

“Let's break down the hard requirements of this project. It is roughly divided into two aspects: one is the technique—the technique for condensing the Magic Power Source, and the other is the foundation for condensing the Magic Power Source. This foundation relies on a special racial constitution of the witch, also called the witch talent—Self-generating Magic Power.”

“This bodily talent is generally completed after advancing to Transcendent Witch, as the life level metamorphoses into the Transcendent tier and embarks on the Great Witch Project. Based on what I know, it is not difficult for a Transcendent Witch to acquire this talent, but for a witch who hasn't advanced to Transcendent, it is almost impossible.”

“But... you possessed this constitution before advancing to Transcendent?”

Yi Rui quickly reacted and asked.

“Yes! I possessed this constitution, and I also mastered the Magic Power Source condensation technique, which is why I can independently condense a Magic Power Source.”

I nodded, admitting this point.

“But I didn't come here to talk about Magic Power Source matters. I came to talk about the Self-generating Magic Power bodily talent! I want to research a technique that can mass-bestow the Self-generating Magic Power talent!”

“So... are you willing to cooperate with me on this experiment?”
