Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

Nearly three months have passed since the sensational event that shook the Magic Temple, with the six divine statues displaying miracles and the Temple Master gifting a spirit furnace. The excitement surrounding the event within the Temple has finally subsided.

However, this was only a superficial calm. The magicians couldn't understand what merits that magic servant had that made him so highly regarded by both the elders and the temple master.

What is Gu Ao, who is at the heart of the discussion, doing right now?

In the meditation room on the top floor of the temple, Gu Ao closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and was completely absorbed in meditation.

Two hours later, he slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of air, and ended his cultivation for the day.

Stepping out of the meditation room, you'll find yourself in the living room.

To his surprise, he thought that Elder Yu had only taken him to his elder's room temporarily to fuse the spirit furnace, and that once the fusion was complete, he would be given an apprentice's room—a room on the top floor that only Saint Magisters were qualified to live in.

Unexpectedly, after merging with the same source spirit furnace, Elder Yu let him rest for a day and immediately set aside a bedroom for Gu Ao, telling him not to feel constrained and to treat this place as his own home.

As an adult, he naturally wanted a private space, but he had already experienced the benefits of the elders' room, so this little thing was insignificant for the sake of cultivation.

Old Master Yu had no children, and Gu Ao was his first disciple. This attitude of treating him as his own son undoubtedly moved Gu Ao deeply.

After resting for a day, Gu Ao continued to fuse the Repulsive Spirit Furnace the next day. This time, neither the time nor the impact was comparable to the fusion of the same-origin spirit furnace. The fusion was completed in just one day.

He has now undergone a complete transformation.

At this moment, he was wearing a white magic robe, a necklace, a wristband on his left wrist, and a ring on his index finger. Apart from not having a staff, he looked somewhat like a real magician.

No, he is already a true magician.

The nine ranks of magicians, from lowest to highest, are: Magic Attendant, Magic Apprentice, Magician, Archmage, Sorcerer, Archmage, Grand Sorcerer, Holy Sorcerer, and God of Magic.

The range of spiritual power in the first tier is ten to ninety-nine. When Gu Ao awakened as the Child of Elements, his spiritual power directly reached the peak of the first tier.

The range of the second tier is 100 to 199. The six god statues baptized him and brought him a lot of help, but they did not include increasing his spiritual power. It was only because Gu Ao was too weak that the statues drew on the huge magical elements in the hall to baptize him, and his spiritual power was also increased by a little, only a few dozen points, but it allowed him to break through to the second tier.

The range for the third tier is slightly larger, from two hundred to four hundred and ninety-nine.

The ancient and profound fusion with the same-origin spirit furnace caused even Elder Yu to be shocked by the elements it triggered. Although most of them were absorbed by the same-origin spirit furnace for evolution, even that small portion brought him considerable gains.

He was already a third-tier mage before he even began formal cultivation, which was unprecedented in the history of the Holy Demon Continent and was very likely to be the last of its kind.

Talent and opportunity are both indispensable.

After settling down, Gu Ao officially began his studies and life at the Magic Temple.

The two hours of daily cultivation only target spiritual energy, but Gu Ao's tasks go beyond that.

In less than three months, he went from an ordinary person to a third-tier professional. Old Yu told Gu Ao that his top priority was to calm down and make good use of this sudden power.

Gu Ao wholeheartedly agreed with this.

A towering building rises from the ground; having experienced his past life, how could he not understand that a solid foundation is the most important thing?

Besides cultivating spiritual power, Gu Ao had many other courses.

Learning magic, using spiritual power, manipulating elements... the world of magic is not so simple. High-level magicians often need a deep reserve of magical knowledge in order to lay the foundation for creating their own magic in the future.

Master Yu's teachings to Gu Ao were all aimed at making him a God of Law. If even the Child of Elements couldn't break through to the ninth rank, then both Master Yu and Gu Ao could just slit their own throats and commit suicide.

As for the equipment on Gu Ao's body, the magic robe and the staff he didn't take out were gifts from Elder Yu, while the three pieces of jewelry he wore were gifts from several senior magicians.

This is what they call a "little gadget".

All three pieces of jewelry are of the Spirit/Demon grade; they are neither unwanted alloy grade nor common magic grade.

Equipment is categorized from lowest to highest level as follows: Common Equipment, Alloy Equipment, Magic Equipment, Spirit Demon Equipment, Brilliant Equipment, Legendary Equipment, Epic Equipment, Immortal Equipment, and Mythical Equipment.

Mythical equipment, in layman's terms, is a divine artifact.

Recognizing and identifying equipment is a skill that every mage, no, every profession must possess. While expertise isn't required, the ability to at least make a basic assessment of an equipment's level, attributes, and capabilities is essential. For mages, the requirements are even higher than for other professions.

The necklace is an auxiliary equipment that can enhance the condensation of magical elements and improve the efficiency of meditation when a mage is meditating.

The wristband is a defensive piece of equipment. Activating it allows you to release a Tier 5 magical elemental fire shield without consuming any resources. It can only be used once a day.

The ring is a storage device with three cubic spaces, and apart from the staff, it is empty.

It must be said that the gifts given by those three predecessors were quite exquisite, with no duplicates, whether in terms of parts or functions; and they were not merely for show, but could all be of some benefit to the ancient and ancient times.

Even the cheapest ordinary equipment is worth at least ten gold coins. Each level up increases the price exponentially. Alloy equipment costs hundreds, magic equipment costs thousands, and spirit magic equipment costs at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

Gu'ao had lived in Zeus City for a few years and had some understanding of the Alliance's currency and prices.

One gold coin is enough for a family of three to eat and drink for half a month. As a magician in the Magic Temple, Gu Ao receives a monthly subsidy of one hundred gold coins. By the way, there are ten Zeus branch temples.

The wealth of the Magic Temple is obvious to all; other temples are not so extravagant.

Naturally, magicians are wealthier than other professions.

As Gu Ao walked and pondered, he left the Elders' Chamber and arrived at the only place to enter the Elders' Chamber—a spacious area with a series of doors.

This place leads not only to the Elders' Chamber but also to the Trial Grounds.

All members of the temple are qualified to use the trial grounds, but the number of times they can use them varies. With the backing of the God of Law, Gu Ao naturally has no such worries.

Gu Ao was about to choose a training ground to practice magic when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Tan Wan was walking with two boys of similar age, preparing to step onto the magic circle leading to the trial grounds.

These days, he lives a life between the meditation room and the training ground, occasionally running into Tan Wan, who is also there to practice magic.

Tan Wan, whether in the past life or now, every time Gu Ao hears this name, his reaction is always "Is this a girl's name?" This can only be attributed to the author's perfunctory attitude; you can tell from the name that she is a female supporting character.
