His teacher was right to say that astrology was very demanding. Unless Saleen's magic had already reached its maximum grade, he was not going to waste any more energy on it.
Magic alone was enough for Saleen.
"Teacher, go ahead and choose some of these items." Saleen looked at Jason and thought to himself that he finally had a chance to repay his teacher. He no longer needed protection from his teacher. Saleen felt good about that.
Jason smiled. His student was usually very calculative, but it turned out that he knew how to show his gratitude. Jason casually picked a few items but did not touch the magic nuclei. When Saleen pointed at the magic nuclei that were above grade-12, Jason said, "Keep them for your own use. Don't sell a single one of them. Magic nuclei of that grade can keep the magic furnace going for a long time."
