Link entered a wondrous state.

In this state, the advancement he had just completed rapidly solidified.

Defeating an ordinary level six sage wasn’t exactly effortless, but it require much strength.

After all, during the more than two years of seclusion, Link had previewed all the level five and level six witchcraft that Ravensmouth College had to offer.

His self-created Construction Wizard Sect, including the offensive, defensive, movement, and support methods for both level five and level six sages, had all been preliminarily researched.

Additionally, the near-constant “Multi-Threading Thinking” mode allowed Link to multitask effectively.

Therefore, though he had been a level five sage for less than two days, Link had already thoroughly familiarized himself with the various states of a level five sage and was able to unleash 100% of the combat power a level five sage should possess.

The miraculous state similar to the so-called “Unity of Heaven and Man” from the deity civilization was merely the catalyst for his promotion, not the primary cause of a qualitative leap.

Nevertheless, Link was still very grateful for the timely arrival of the Wizard World Will.

“Congratulations.”

Mr. Xu Jing, who at some point had extricated himself from the company of Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss, appeared beside Link and offered his sincere congratulations.

“Congratulations for what?”

Link turned his head and asked calmly.

“Congratulations on clearing a mental obstacle, allowing you to head into battle unburdened.”

Mr. Xu Jing replied as such.

“Hmm.”

Link nodded, returning the courtesy, “Thank you.”

Having said these few words, Link no longer wished to speak.

He just walked silently.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu Jing also fell silent.

Before long, the two arrived at the edge of an azure lake.

The water was clear, and the lake was open, save for a floating pavilion in the center.

Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss were sitting in the pavilion, facing each other over tea.

Speaking of which, the tea-drinking trend now prevalent in the Wizard World was started by Link.

Grande’s tea had become one of Link’s main sources of income, surpassing the output of the three resource worlds he owned.

In fact, during their conquests across the Heavens, some wizards had discovered similar tea ingredients and culinary cultures.

But no wizard was willing to transplant those tea ingredients and culinary cultures into wizard civilization.

The vision of wizards was not narrow but rather open and inclusive.

They would carefully select and discern knowledge and cultures from other civilizations, even those easily conquered by them, and not discard them outright.

They would remove the dross and preserve the essence.

Thus, through continuous integration, wizard civilization became increasingly resplendent.

However, just like pharmacists rarely pay attention to female wizards’ yearning for beauty, many cultural customs that were not critically important, for enhancing the cultural and power foundations of civilization, were overlooked intentionally or unintentionally.

Therefore, tea did not become popular until Link promoted it, both for his enjoyment and to earn magic stones.

The Diomand Family, from Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss to the fourth and fifth generations, many people enjoyed drinking tea immensely.

“Do you have matters to discuss with them?”

Mr. Xu Jing, glancing at the pavilion, gestured lightly with his right hand to ensure only Link could hear him.

From his tone, Link could tell that Mr. Xu Jing preferred not to interact with the two great sages anymore.

Therefore, Link said, “Indeed, I must go there. If you don’t want to join, would you wait for me somewhere else?”

“I will wait here.”

Mr. Xu Jing immediately responded.

From this, it was clear that Mr. Xu Jing genuinely did not wish to deal with the two great sages again.

Link had no idea what had transpired between them.

He took a guess and then dismissed the matter.

Without any visible action, Link’s whole figure instantly vanished from the lakeside and appeared inside the pavilion.

“I pay my respects to Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss.”

It never hurts to be too polite, so Link, following his usual habit, took the initiative to greet Great Sage Revo and Great Sage Seuss.

Great Sage Seuss nodded in return, acknowledging the greeting.

“Wizard Grande, no need for such formality, please have a seat,” said Great Sage Revo, gesturing to a seat on his left and smiling.

“Thank you.”

Link said as he sat down.

“Is Mr. Xu Jing not coming over for a chat?”

At that moment, Great Sage Revo glanced towards the lakeside and inquired.

“He’s not coming over.”

Link nodded, then pre-emptively declared, “For what reason, I am not sure, nor did I ask.”

“Hmm.”

Great Sage Revo likewise nodded in understanding.

Great Sage Seuss poured a cup of tea for Link, while speaking, “We must also thank Wizard Grande for developing the tea beverage, introducing us to a new enjoyment in life and providing the college with additional revenue.”

After Mitchell District was renamed Ravensmouth District, not to mention the Central Plains, East Coast, South Region, and North Region, the tea business along the West Coast was monopolized entirely by Ravensmouth College.

More than two years ago, Link signed a new agreement with the college.

According to that agreement, the college held absolute control over the tea business, while Link enjoyed a considerable share of the profits.

To date, the tea business has grown larger and the returns greater, with more suitable planets/worlds being used to cultivate tea trees, leading to soaring dividends for Link.

In this business venture, Link, the college, the market, and the customers could indeed be said to have achieved a multi-win situation.

“It’s the college’s achievement.”

Link said blandly, then picked up the tea cup and took a light sip.
