Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Gordon lowered his head again and looked at the thick notebook on the table.

Although when they first looked inside the cave, it was completely blank.

But Gordon knew that this seemingly old notebook must have a significant history.

Otherwise, why would that kobold named Kuru consider it a treasure?

Gordon reached out and opened the thick cover again.

The paper looked very rough in the candlelight.

But no matter how you look at it, it is completely blank, without any text or patterns.

Gordon pondered for a moment, then gathered a wisp of spiritual energy from his dantian and cautiously probed into the notebook.

But the next moment, something strange happened.

The moment the wisp of spiritual energy touched the notebook, it vanished instantly, as if it had been absorbed into the notebook.

There was definitely a problem...

Gordon wouldn't be surprised if he encountered obstacles or setbacks when channeling spiritual energy.

But the spiritual energy vanished completely, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Moreover, Gordon noticed that the distribution of spiritual energy in the surrounding air did not fluctuate at all.

In other words, his spiritual energy was indeed consumed by this notebook.

Gordon pondered for a moment, then cast a detection spell on the notebook.

This is a relatively common spell, but its rank is only eighth grade.

However, it is very common in the cultivation world.

  [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 101𝒌𝒌𝒔.𝒄𝒐𝒎]

From Qi Refining cultivators to Golden Core cultivators, almost everyone uses this kind of spell.

The reason is simply that [Detection] is extremely unique even among all spells.

It can affect any object or living being, sensing the concentration of its spiritual energy.

The only condition is that the other party's level of cultivation must be lower than one's own or the same as one's own.

To Gordon's surprise, there was still no reaction after he used the detection spell.

There wasn't even the slightest hint of a vague feeling.

This means that the quality of the notebook in front of him is far beyond his imagination.

Gordon was not upset by this.

On the contrary, he became excited.

Without a doubt, the value of this notebook is probably higher than I had previously thought.

Having thought this through, Gordon no longer hesitated and called out towards the door:

"Someone come here!"

Immediately afterwards, a tall, handsome young man pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lord Gordon."

The man bowed his head respectfully and said...

Gordon nodded. "Mark, where is the lord?"

"It seems he went on a patrol with Lord Granger," the young man replied.

This man named Mark is a member of the Blackwater Knights.

As he answered, he cautiously glanced up at the mysterious benefactor who had recently been the subject of much gossip within the family.

Although Mark was asked by Oriana to serve as Gordon's personal bodyguard, he did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction.

As a member of the Roland family, he was actually very grateful to the benefactor who had helped the family out of their predicament.

Moreover, the other party is a powerful wizard.

Although he didn't know why the other party would travel thousands of miles to sponsor a declining family in a remote rural area.

But for him, being able to serve such an important figure was clearly an honor.

"Patrol?"

Gordon paused for a moment, but didn't dwell on the matter too much.

After all, Orianna now,

He was already a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, possessing sufficient self-defense capabilities, and he also had Granger by his side.

There is probably nothing in the entire Blackwater Valley that can pose a threat to them.

"In that case..."

Gordon thought for a moment, then continued:

"Then you go and bring that wild wizard over."

"Huh? Me?"

Mark paused for a moment, pointed to himself, and then a hesitant expression appeared on his face:

"Maybe I should invite a few more people to go together."

Gordon shook his head: "No need, you can just bring him over. He won't do anything."

After taking the kobold named Kuru away from the mine, Gordon placed a special restriction inside its body, which could effectively prevent it from using the magic within its body.

This fully demonstrates Gordon's advantages.

With the [Heavenly Dao Library], he can use all known spells, techniques, and so on within his realm almost without any cost.

Such a thing would have been almost impossible for cultivators of the same level in my previous life.

After hearing Gordon's words, Mark was still somewhat confused, but he still followed the other party's instructions and turned to leave.

Not long after, with the sound of chains being dragged, Mark led the hunched-over, looking-around-around Kulu into the family's weapon-refining workshop, which had not yet been repaired.

As soon as he entered the room, Kuru noticed Gordon sitting behind the wooden table, dressed in a knight's armor.

Thinking of the enormous fireball in the mine, it shuddered and immediately lowered its head.

"Hello, Kulu," Gordon said with a smile.

However, Gordon's seemingly friendly greeting was more terrifying than a demon to the kobolds.

It hung its head and said in a pitiful manner:

"Kuru no longer raises mushrooms."

"Can humans let Kuru leave?"

Looking at the dog-headed man in front of him who could speak human language, Gordon was truly curious.

After leaving the mine, he also asked Oriana and learned that low-level humanoid creatures like kobolds were actually very rare in the entire Kingdom of Rune.

Most of them perished under the iron cavalry and spears of humans.

The few remaining ethnic groups have now almost all been reduced to slavery.

Moreover, creatures like kobolds are generally of low intelligence, and apart from high priests in certain tribes, they are unlikely to learn the languages ​​of other races, let alone use witchcraft.

I have no idea how this kobold named Kuru managed to do all this...

However, this is not Gordon's primary concern at the moment.

He extended a finger encased in a gauntlet, tapped it on the table, and looked at the kobold in front of him, saying:

"Let you go?"

Shouldn't you be held responsible for killing my men?

Upon hearing this, Kulu immediately became anxious, and even his words began to become incoherent:

"No! No humans were killed! Kuru is innocent! Get out of here!"

Gordon raised his hand impatiently, stopping the other person from continuing.

This action immediately silenced the dog-headed man's voice, and his previously excited gesturing froze in mid-air, making him look extremely comical.

Gordon ignored the other person and picked up the thick notebook on the table.

Do you recognize this?

Upon seeing the notebook, the kobold's small yellow eyes immediately lit up:

"Knowledge is Kulu's book."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Gordon's gaze and his body trembled violently. He quickly changed his words:

"No...it's a human book."

Gordon nodded in satisfaction and asked:

"You said you found this? Where exactly did you find it?"
