“Thank you, Sir.”

Xu Ning made a grateful gesture.

The young man nodded in satisfaction, then called for a servant.

“Arrange a place for him and explain the rules of the Black Willow Institute to him.”

The young man ordered.

The servant responded respectfully.

With that done, the young man turned around and entered the house.

As for Xu Ning, he was led by the servant to a side room in the courtyard. He was then told about the various precautions he had to be aware of in the Black Willow Institute.

Just like this, Xu Ning entered the arcanist institution as a low-level servant.

Time flew by.

Half a year went by.

Over the past six months, Xu Ning had completely adapted to life in the Black Willow Institute.

Moreover, using his identity as a servant, he came into contact with the resources of arcanists and secretly raised his strength to a rank two arcanist.

On this day.

Xu Ning woke up from his sleep.

He washed up and went to the backyard.

There were a lot of arcane plants planted in the backyard. These arcane plants were one of the important resources needed by arcanists.

After Xu Ning became a servant, his main job was to cultivate these arcane plants.

Because of his status as a master alchemist in his original world, Xu Ning had a lot of experience in cultivating arcane plants.

Although he no longer had the power of martial arts and thus could no longer refine pills, it was not difficult for Xu Ning to purely refine them and even make a batch of arcane medicine after picking them.

It was also because the quality of the arcane plants cultivated by Xu Ning was extremely high that he was placed in an important position. He was now the person with the highest status in the courtyard.

‘In three days, the arcane plants I secretly cultivated should mature. This way, I can harvest another wave of energy units and directly break through to become a rank three arcanist.’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

When Xu Ning was cultivating arcane plants, he relied on his rich experience to separate some precious plants and secretly plant them in a corner that no one cared about.

When it matured, Xu Ning would use it.

It was through this method that Xu Ning was able to gather the energy units needed to advance.

For Xu Ning, his advancement was much easier than others.

For other arcanists to advance, they needed the support of a lot of external resources, and sometimes, they even needed a higher level arcanist to act as a guide.

At first, Xu Ning was worried that he would face such an advancement problem.

But through the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning discovered that his advancement was still the same as it was back in his original world. He just needed to gather enough energy.

This was why Xu Ning could advance successfully in secret.

‘If I can successfully advance to a rank three arcanist, then there should be no need for me to continue to hide in the Black Willow Institute. At that time, with my status, I can join another arcanist institution and assume a position.’

Xu Ning thought in his head.

After taking care of the arcane plants, Xu Ning sneaked a look at the arcane plants he secretly cultivated before walking out of the backyard.

As soon as he arrived at the front yard, Xu Ning was about to move some resources into the house when he saw a cold-looking woman walk in.

“Master Guan…”

Xu Ning bowed.

This Master Guan paused for a moment and nodded politely to Xu Ning before quickly walking into the main room.

This young woman’s name was Guan Yue. She was the senior sister of the young man who had allowed Xu Ning to stay here. She was a rank two arcanist.

As for the young man, his name was Shen Hexin, and he was a rank one arcanist.

The master of the two arcanists, the owner of the institute, was named Zhen Tu. He was a rank three arcanist, and also an instructor of the Black Willow Institute. His status was roughly equivalent to a sect elder in the martial arts world.

In the Black Willow Institute, the strongest person was the head of the institute, a rank four arcanist.

Not long after, Shen Hexin also rushed over.

He also seemed a little anxious. He ran all the way into the house and ignored Xu Ning’s greeting.

‘Guan Yue and Shen Hexin must have encountered something…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Over the past few months, Shen Hexin came here almost every day to practice with Zhen Tu.

On the other hand, Guan Yue only came for a few days every month. Moreover, she never came this early.

But now, these two came here early in the morning, and they both looked a little anxious. Obviously, they had something to deal with.

‘Could something have happened in the Black Willow Institute?’

Xu Ning guessed.

‘Oh well, I won’t be able to find out for the time being. I’ll just focus on raising the arcane plants and absorb their energy.’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

Three days later, the arcane plants Xu Ning secretly planted matured.

After Xu Ning absorbed them, his energy reserves reached 500 units. With this amount of energy units, Xu Ning raised his realm to a rank three arcanist.

With the strength of a rank three arcanist, Xu Ning could already establish a small faction and even recruit some arcanists as subordinates.

‘Martial Arts Panel!’

After advancing, Xu Ning also opened up the Martial Arts Panel.

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Rank Three Arcanist

Arcane Technique: Wind Barrier, Arrow of Corrosion

Remaining Energy: 50 units

This was Xu Ning’s Martial Arts Panel in this world.

Only the arcane technique category was different from the normal void realm secret techniques that would be placed there back in his original world. It referred to the combat methods of arcanists.

The Arcanist World was different from the Martial Arts World. In the Martial Arts World, warriors only officially touched attribute power when they reached the mid level of the void realm, but in the Arcanist World, arcane techniques had attribute damage from the very beginning.

Xu Ning’s arcane technique, Wind Barrier and Arrow of Corrosion, was learned from Duan Huiyao’s memory crystal.

‘When should I leave Black Willow Institute…’

Xu Ning thought in his head.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that he was secretly accumulating his strength, he even wanted to use the Black Willow Institute as a stepping stone to come into contact with a higher-level arcanist institution.

But because he was a servant, if he suddenly exposed his true strength, he might face the suspicion and attacks of a rank four arcanist.

“Brother Xu!”

Right at this moment, someone was knocking on Xu Ning’s door in a hurry.

“Huh?”

Xu Ning frowned. He could tell that the person knocking on the door was also a servant.

It was already late at night, so most of the servants who had been working all day were asleep.

Moreover, servants meeting at night was against the rules of the institute.

If they were caught, they might even be punished.

However, Xu Ning still opened the door.

Standing in front of him was a stocky servant who looked to be in his early twenties.

“Zhuang Hu, why did you come to me in the middle of the night?”

Xu Ning was familiar with Zhuang Hu.

After Xu Ning’s status improved among the servants, he took good care of him.

“Brother Xu, I heard a rumor!”

Zhuang Hu quickly closed the door and said in a low voice.

“What rumor?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

“Our Black Willow Institute is going to be invaded soon!”

There was panic in Zhuang Hu’s tone.
