Moransiu's gaze paused slightly, then he reached out to pick up the paper. But when his fingers touched the edge of the paper, another sensation transmitted from his fingertips to his brain.
"This isn't paper, it seems like... a stone!"
Moransiu reached out with both hands and picked up the stone. Indeed, it was a piece of stone, specially processed to be so thin, which was truly astonishing.
As Moransiu gently slid his fingers over the stone, he felt that there were some words on it. He concentrated and looked closely, and sure enough, there were fine lines of text engraved on the stone.
"Haha, the successor I've been waiting for, finally your appearance is here. Your ability to enter this tomb indicates that you are qualified to know some secrets. However, now I want to know if your abilities meet the requirements or not? What you're holding now is a very rare illusion stone. The message I want to tell you is stored in this illusion stone. If your magic power has not reached the level of a seventh-level mage, you cannot see it."
"If your abilities really haven't reached the level of a seventh-level mage, then wait until your strength improves before coming back. I will wait indefinitely. Also, everything you discover here must not be disclosed."
The signature on the stone was from Xisan.
Moransiu stared at the stone in amazement. This was all too incredible. An illusion stone? Moransiu had indeed never seen such an illusion stone before. However, no matter what, Moransiu was certain that what he was holding was definitely different from the illusion stones he had seen before. It was like a piece of transparent jade, emitting a faint warmth on its surface.
"Unfortunately, I still can't know what's hidden inside. Moransiu placed his hand on the illusion stone, trying to activate the magic power within his body, but there was no response at all. It seemed that Emperor Xisan was serious; without reaching the level of a seventh-level mage, he couldn't see the content.
Moransiu had a hunch that there was definitely more hidden in this tomb than what he had seen.
"Why does Emperor Xisan want me to keep everything here secret?" Moransiu pondered.
"Well, this treasure, I don't need it now. If taken out, it might cause trouble. Anyway, I'll come back later, so it's safer to leave it here for now. In five thousand years, only I have entered here. This is probably the safest place to store treasures." Moransiu took out the magic potion formula book and Emperor Xisan's notes from his chest pocket.
Now that he was sure he would come back, these things that were temporarily not needed might as well be left here. If taken out and discovered by someone, it would surely cause a lot of trouble for him, especially since he currently had no spare ability to protect these things.
It hadn't been long since he reached the level of a third-level mage. It would take a long time to reach the level of an intermediate mage. As for becoming a high-level mage, it would probably take at least a few years.
Moransiu flipped through the formula book again.
"Relying on my memory, recording these things may not take too long." Moransiu sat down beside the table and immersed himself in the magic potion formula.
Many of the formulas recorded in this book were ancient and lost. Many of the formulas were so difficult that they were almost maddening. For example, a magic potion called 'Spirit' required over a hundred types of magic ingredients and over a dozen refining processes, and its function was to enhance the user's mental power.
Unconsciously, Moransiu had spent a whole day and night in the tomb.
Finally, Moransiu recorded all the formulas in the book. Although he still didn't have the ability to refine these potions, it was good to be familiar with them.
Feeling hungry, Moransiu followed the stairs out of the tomb.
Billy was still outside. When he saw Moransiu, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He had been worried about something during this day and night. Now that Moransiu had come out, naturally he felt relieved.
"Grandpa Billy." Moransiu saw Billy and greeted warmly.
"Moransiu, haha, child, you really managed to enter the tomb." Billy was exceptionally happy.
"Yeah, but I didn't see the emperor." Moransiu said disappointedly.
"Moransiu, whatever you encountered inside, don't talk about it. The same goes for me. Well, let's go down the mountain now. You've been in there for a day and night, you must be starving." Billy said kindly.
Moransiu nodded, and the two mages, one old and one young, left the house and walked down the mountain.
...
Late at night, at the Othar family mansion.
"Master Othar, have you gone to bed?" Yuri asked softly outside Othar's room.
It was already late at night, and most people had gone to bed.
"Not yet, come in." Othar's voice came from inside the room.
Yuri heard the voice, pushed the door open, and then closed it carefully. In the room, with a lamp lit, Othar sat on a chair, dressed neatly, seemingly not intending to sleep at all.
"How's it going? Have you cleared things up?" Othar's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment. These past two days, Ziyun had been ignoring him. He attributed all of this to Muk and Moransiu.
"Master, everything has been cleared up. This Moransiu is a simple hunter's son from Algu Village in Qinghe Town, with a very ordinary background and nothing remarkable. But that Muk, he's quite complicated..."
Yuri reported his findings.
"Hmph, damn it, I never thought that Muk would have such a background." Othar slammed the table hard with his hand, angrily getting up.
"Master, if those two have offended you, I suggest you bear with it for now. Although we are not afraid of that influence, if a conflict arises, it will have a great impact on the family's business." Yuri was the steward of the Othar family and knew quite a bit about many family matters, especially some of the family's business dealings in which he was involved.
"I naturally know this." Othar said gloomily.
For now, he had to swallow his anger.
"But that Moransiu, hehe, he doesn't have any background at all. It's easy for me to crush him." Othar suddenly smirked.
"Master Othar, I suggest you not touch him for now. Firstly, he is a student of the Mulan Academy, and he seems to be quite familiar with Billy. Also, his reputation at the academy is too great. If he runs into trouble, it will definitely attract more attention. Moreover, Moransiu and Muk are as thick as thieves. If Moransiu gets into trouble, Muk will definitely not let it go. If he really wants to investigate, even if we act very discreetly, I'm afraid he will find out." A person who could serve as the steward of the Othar family for decades was certainly not incompetent; he analyzed the situation very clearly.
Even Othar, who was so arrogant
, had some awe for Yuri.
It could be said that the Othar family's current position as the first family in Sofer City was not unrelated to Yuri's contributions.
